Hardaway was full of praise for Su Xi, and his words carried significant weight. As someone once hailed as Jordan's successor, who, by his own account, had even beaten the man himself, he personally admitted that Goat Su Xi was a cut above.
…
After the second half began, Su Xi became even more aggressive in his scoring, and the Cavaliers launched another powerful counterattack.
Perhaps the Knicks' glittering championship rings had spurred on LeBron James.
He went on a rampage, unleashing a powerful assault on the rim.
At one point, he cut the lead to just five points.
But Su Xi switched into scoring mode himself, going on a frenzy. Attacking from both inside and out, he quickly widened the gap once more.
In the third quarter, both players were like giant statistical black holes, frantically absorbing every number in sight.
James finished the quarter with 18 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 1 block, and 1 steal.
