"Congratulations!!"

"BWAHAHAHA!"

Barkley roared with laughter, filled with the joyous and invigorating thrill of getting his revenge.

In stark contrast, Kenny Smith sat beside him, silent as a mime.

But if the camera panned to him, it would reveal a face devoid of all hope.

One game might not mean much, but because of this one, he had to kiss a donkey’s left buttock and wear purple lipstick.

Damn!!

Smith was devastated.

Su Xi landed after soaring above the rim. His teammates excitedly high-fived him, celebrating the incredible dunk.

Little O’Neal was right beside him, emphatically repeating, "This is going down in the history books! This is a historic dunk! You jumped over the Defensive Player of the Year, bro! Do you know Ben Wallace is a two-time DPOY? Vince Carter is an amazing dunker, and he never managed it, but you did it, Jack! I’m so proud of you!!"

Little Ao’s voice was loud.

Ben Wallace felt like his eardrums were being pierced.

His warped pride felt just as pierced.

After the change of possession, the Pistons’ backup point guard, Lynx Hunter, had already lost the will to play. The veteran had witnessed Su Xi’s power earlier and knew the situation was hopeless. He decided to just run out the final 24 seconds.

The fans were already leaving the arena.

Especially after Su Xi posterized Ben Wallace. They left without a second glance, their earlier arrogance and aggression replaced by dejection.

Just then, however, Ben Wallace ran to the free-throw line and called for the ball.

Hunter passed him the ball.

As soon as Ben Wallace caught it, he yelled at Su Xi, "You dare guard me?"

This was exactly what Su Xi wanted.

’He was dying to get his hands on Ben Wallace’s super strength talent.’

He decisively ran up to stand in front of Ben Wallace.

"I just love Jack’s ’if you want a fight, I’ll give you a fight’ attitude," Barkley said admiringly.

At that moment, Ben Wallace turned his back, trying to use his body to box out Su Xi and push backward... but his back-to-the-basket skills were terrible.

Playing in the post isn’t just about being strong and heavy enough to unleash all your power; it’s a holistic and highly technical skill. It’s like how, eight years from now, the "Chosen One" wouldn’t be able to back down the five-foot-ten "Puerto Rican mountain."

Ben Wallace backed into him once, but Su Xi didn’t budge an inch.

He was very disappointed.

’It was like a beautiful woman falling in love at first sight with a burly, muscular man, only to get a hotel room that night, have him drop his pants, and find out he was smaller than her lipstick.’

Su Xi asked, "Did you forget to drink your milk?"

Ben Wallace slammed back into him again with all his might, but Su Xi still didn’t move.

Laughter erupted from Tony Battie and Little O’Neal on the sidelines, filling the court with a cheerful energy.

Ben Wallace never expected his final show of strength to become a laughingstock.

He leaned back, about to swing a vicious elbow... SMACK!

Su Xi was done playing with him. He ducked down, spun around, and with a flick of his long arm, slapped the ball away. Ben Wallace’s ball protection was worse than the men’s national soccer team’s.

Stealing the ball from him was like poking through tofu with a chopstick.

So easy.

Su Xi got around him and grabbed the ball.

Just as he was about to sprint downcourt, Ben Wallace charged at him like a crazed beast, reaching to grab Su Xi by the throat.

Seeing this, Su Xi immediately tossed the ball away, feigned falling backward, and shot his right foot out in a sharp kick to Ben Wallace’s left shin.

In a flash, the blow made Ben Wallace stumble.

His body was unsteady, but he desperately lunged forward and wrapped up Su Xi.

He dragged Su Xi down to the floor with him. Then he reared back to punch Su Xi, swinging wide... POW!

As his fist went up high, Su Xi seized the opportunity and landed a punch of his own on Wallace’s left cheek. Wallace’s head was instantly ringing.

In this kind of close-quarters combat, Su Xi’s Wing Chun was no joke.

Ben Wallace was seeing stars. By the time his punch landed, it had no force behind it.

But the head referee still saw him hit Su Xi. The whole world saw him lose his temper after the steal, attack Su Xi, and tackle-slam him to the ground.

The referee quickly blew his whistle, trying to pull the aggressor, Wallace, away.

But Tony Battie shoved the referee aside.

Poor Ben Wallace had just started to clear his head when he took a kick to the back of it from Tony Battie.

’Motherfucker, you dare hit Su Xi in front of me? Acting like the Hu Su Bao isn’t even here?’

One kick wasn’t enough to vent his anger. He grabbed Ben Wallace by the neck, pulled him off Su Xi, and the two of them started grappling.

The moment he was free, Su Xi landed another kick right on Ben Wallace’s face.

Ben Wallace’s head was ringing again.

The scene descended into chaos.

Right now, Ben Wallace was filled with nothing but regret, pain, and dizziness.

He had no idea how much time passed before he was finally pulled out of the pile.

When Oko and Prince helped him up, he felt top-heavy and nearly fell over again.

But the head referee didn’t care whether he had a concussion or not.

He blew the whistle on him first, ejecting him directly from the game.

Then Tony Battie, and then Su Xi.

No one expected the game to end in a brawl like this.

On the sideline, Larry Brown could only shake his head with a helpless, bitter smile.

’We lost the game and our composure.’

"Ben Wallace has completely lost face," Barkley said on TV.

He angrily condemned Wallace.

Meanwhile, Wallace staggered away with the help of his teammates, his face noticeably more swollen than before.

As for Tony Battie, his face was covered in bloody scratches. In his dazed state, Wallace had been flailing wildly and had clawed up his face, making for a gruesome sight.

Su Xi looked disheveled too, his jersey torn in half.

But... he’d torn it himself.

Wallace’s foul had already ripped it a bit, so he’d secretly torn it the rest of the way. Combined with his messy hair...

Who wouldn’t feel sorry for him after seeing that?
