Inside the ESPN studio.
Mike Breen pumped his fist and shouted excitedly,
"Good heavens! A buzzer-beater! Blake Su actually stole the ball and finished with a layup to beat the Lakers and complete the comeback! My goodness!
What kind of monster is Blake Su?
How did he do that in just 3.8 seconds?! I—@%&!…"
"Hahaha!"
Jeff Van Gundy laughed so hard he could barely close his mouth, his voice trembling with excitement.
"Incredible! Absolutely incredible! Blake Su was unbelievable tonight!
Unreal!
With only 3.8 seconds left—and without even having possession—a center pulls off a steal and finishes with a game-winning layup. This… this is just unbelievable!
Blake Su is too incredible, I… @…&￥!&…%!"
The two commentators were so excited they were practically incoherent.
Mike Breen even looked like he might tear up.
The two commentators temporarily "offline."
…
Back to the court.
"Great shot! Nice!"
The moment Blake Su hit the game-winner, "The Answer" Allen Iverson jumped to his feet and applauded enthusiastically, clapping hard and cheering wildly for Blake Su.
"My… God!"
Dwyane Wade puffed his cheeks and exclaimed,
"Are you kidding me? Blake Su steals the ball and wins the game with a layup against the defending champions?!"
"Hahaha!"
LeBron burst out laughing.
"A game-winning steal and layup from a center. Blake Su does something magical again. He's a center full of miracles."
Elsewhere.
"The Admiral" David Robinson cheered along with the fans and said in shock,
"Incredible! Blake Su is unbelievable! A comeback like this… this can actually happen?!
Amazing!"
"A steal for the game-winner!"
"Kareem Abdul-Jabbar," the "Skyhook," had his mouth wide open in surprise.
"A steal is one thing—but he did it in just 3.8 seconds, practically running half the court.
Blake Su… he's once again changed my understanding of what a center is.
No—he only has the height of a center.
He's not really a center at all."
"Exactly."
Hakeem Olajuwon nodded repeatedly and said with a smile,
"What center plays like this?
What center moves like a versatile small forward or shooting guard?
In my opinion, Blake Su is a 'bigger forward,' or maybe a 'bigger guard.'
Either way, he's definitely not a center. Absolutely not."
"Yay!"
"We won!"
Taylor Swift pumped her little fists.
She had been worried moments ago, but after seeing Blake Su's game-winner, her face instantly lit up with a radiant smile.
That smile was breathtaking.
"Taylor~"
"Taylor's so happy because of Blake Su!"
"My goddess Taylor is smiling at me~"
"Keep dreaming~"
Even in such a thrilling moment, many men sitting near Taylor were completely mesmerized by her smile.
Meanwhile, Mai Kuraki—one of Japan's three great divas—was also jumping happily with her fists clenched.
Her petite, cute figure combined with her charming appearance made that smile equally irresistible, leaving many men nearby completely enchanted.
Yet none of them realized that in the eyes of these two beautiful women—
there was only one person.
Blake Su.
Boom!
The atmosphere inside the arena continued to explode.
Curry, Nash, Carter, George, and the rest of the Suns players rushed toward Blake Su.
Everyone crowded around him, celebrating together and enjoying the joy of this incredible buzzer-beater.
Blake Su himself was overjoyed.
To be honest.
He hadn't expected things to unfold this way.
He had simply played with the mindset of wanting to win, defending with everything he had.
And then…
that moment happened.
It was a surprise.
But no matter what, Blake Su had done it.
He had beaten the Lakers with a game-winning shot and led the team to victory.
Now it was time to enjoy the win.
On the other side, the Lakers.
Artest, Odom, Bynum, and the rest all hung their heads.
This kind of game-winning play—something they could never have imagined—left them completely stunned.
"How is that possible?!"
Gasol was still dazed.
Even several minutes after the game ended, he still couldn't quite believe it.
Kobe stood quietly in place, his gaze slowly shifting until it landed on Blake Su, who was surrounded by teammates.
He gave a faint smile.
"Not bad, kid."
...
Back in the ESPN studio.
After a short while, the two commentators finally calmed down.
Mike Breen joked,
"Jeff Van Gundy, why do I feel like every time we call a Suns game, I end up completely losing control of my emotions?"
"Don't ask," Jeff Van Gundy replied with a grin. "The answer is simple—Blake Su is playing unbelievably well, and this Suns team is just that good."
"Hahaha!"
Mike Breen laughed and nodded. He picked up the prepared statistics and continued:
"The game is over. The Suns narrowly defeat the Lakers by one point.
Both teams delivered an incredible game tonight—full of twists, tension, and nonstop drama.
This is the kind of matchup that will be remembered and talked about for years to come.
And tonight…
the unquestioned MVP belongs to rookie center Blake Su, who outperformed Kobe Bryant.
Tonight, he truly became legendary.
Not only did he lead the team to victory, he also broke multiple records.
Now, let's take a look with Jeff Van Gundy at just how unbelievable Blake Su's performance was tonight!"
The camera shifted to Jeff Van Gundy.
After glancing at the statistics, he said loudly:
"Tonight, Blake Su made 13 three-pointers and finished with 65 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals, and 3 blocks.
What does that mean?"
Jeff Van Gundy raised his eyebrows playfully at the camera, paused for dramatic effect, and then continued:
"65 points in a single game.
That makes Blake Su the second player this season—after Kobe—to score 60 points in a game.
At the same time…
at just 18 years old, Blake Su becomes the youngest 60-point scorer in NBA history.
And it's worth mentioning that the youngest 50-point scorer in NBA history is also Blake Su.
Next.
Blake Su's 65 points in his rookie season breaks the rookie single-game record previously set by the 'ancient beast' Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 58 points.
Blake Su becomes the first rookie in NBA history to score 60 points in a single game.
Next.
With 13 three-pointers in one game, he breaks the previous record of 12 threes shared by Kobe Bryant and Donyell Marshall, becoming the player with the most three-pointers in a single NBA game.
Another noteworthy point.
Before tonight, the single-game three-point record for centers was 10—also set by Blake Su.
Tonight he broke his own record and set a new one.
In addition.
With this victory, Blake Su leads the Suns to their 17th straight win, tying the franchise record set during the 2006–07 season when Nash led the team to 17 consecutive wins.
And.
That 17-game winning streak now ranks sixth on the NBA's all-time list.
Finally…
After defeating the Mavericks and now the Lakers, the Suns jump from fourth place in the Western Conference to second place, trailing only the Spurs.
Tonight's legendary performance from Blake Su shattered countless records.
Tonight…
belongs to Blake Su alone.
Once again, congratulations to Blake Su.
And congratulations to the Suns for defeating the defending champion Lakers on the eve of the Christmas games and achieving a 17-game winning streak!"
