Eddie Curry was feeling bold.
On his first play after checking in, he posted up Stadumier and called for the ball.
Having three hundred pounds of meat pressing against his back was incredibly uncomfortable for Stadumier. He was a high-flying power forward, not one who excelled at physical confrontation.
Su Xi didn't hesitate, throwing the ball right into the post.
Eddie Curry caught the ball, made a quick adjustment, and immediately started backing him down... His first powerful shove was like a three-hundred-pound wild boar charging down a mountain. The impact made Stadumier's insides churn; it was agonizing.
Stadumier instinctively tried to give ground, but just then, Su Xi made a perfectly timed cut from the side. Stadumier thought Su Xi was about to take a pass from Eddie Curry for a dunk, so he shifted his stance slightly, caught in a moment of indecision.
Just then, Eddie Curry slammed into him again… WHAM!
