This showed a very childish side of James. After all, he was only nineteen years old.

If he had played in the NBA for just two more years, he wouldn’t be trying to prove such a pointless thing.

However, for Su Xi, this was absolutely fantastic news.

By now, he had completely copied James’s explosiveness, reaching 98. James might be a tiny bit stronger, but Su Xi probably couldn’t copy that last little bit.

Among the super talents Su Xi had currently unlocked, the only one he hadn’t fully copied from James was the super speed talent.

Therefore, Su Xi’s defensive strategy wasn’t to pressure him tightly. He gave James space to unleash his speed.

James went full throttle, furious, his emotions at their peak.

Su Xi quickly kept up, but he was still a step behind.

However, because of this, the super speed talent within his body surged violently.

As James took his third step, Su Xi’s super speed talent shot up to 95.

And it was still on the rise.

James jumped, and Su Xi jumped right after him, but his vertical was still a little lacking.

BOOM!

LeBron James finished with a powerful dunk.

After scoring, he roared at Su Xi. "Your wishful thinking is ridiculous."

"You traveled. You took an extra step," Tony Batty pointed out from the side.

James immediately glared at him.

"Is this your off-court defensive assistant?" James said sarcastically. "Nobody’s ever called a travel like that on me."

Su Xi didn’t bother arguing with him, just saying, "Again!"

James took the ball again, and Su Xi’s defense was even more oppressive.

James exploded into motion, suspiciously close to a travel.

But Su Xi kept up in time. One step, two steps!

Su Xi’s super speed talent increased to 96.

Su Xi initiated contact.

He braced against James’s lower body, causing James to stumble. While stumbling, he threw the ball up... SWISH!

It went in.

That basket was pure individual skill on his part.

"See that? Two in a row. One more and this game is over. Jack, without me, you’re nothing. You really think your defense is that good? It’s me deterring everyone from the side."

James continued to talk trash to Su Xi.

He was like a madman whose love had turned to hate.

Su Xi couldn’t be bothered to talk to him and passed the ball directly to James.

James got the ball, and this time Su Xi’s pressure was even tighter.

James gave a pump fake and then jumped directly, intending to end the game.

But... CLANG!

A brick.

"Again!"

Su Xi passed the ball to James.

This time, he got a hand up to pressure James.

James took a quick explosive step forward, then came to another sudden stop and put up a jumper... His offensive rhythm was great this time, and Su Xi’s defensive pressure wasn’t quite there.

But.

CLANG!

James’s touch was really a bit off.

The ball didn’t go in.

It all came down to the last point.

Having missed two shots in a row, the pressure on James was immense.

The crowd gathering around them was growing, and even the TV crew had started to enter the court from the other side, setting up their broadcast equipment.

He decided to end it quickly.

So, the moment he received the ball, he exploded into motion... and he traveled on his first step.

But Su Xi ignored it and quickly kept pace.

As he matched James’s second step, his super speed talent reached 97.

This was the limit of James’s talent.

He had copied it completely.

James gathered the ball, took two and a half steps, and leaped into the air. But as he was rising, Su Xi anticipated it. He dashed forward, jumped, extended his long arm, and slammed his giant hand down on the basketball. The immense force pressed down on the ball. At that moment, James hadn’t yet leveraged his full advantage in weight and power. His body was forced downwards, unable to even struggle!

BAM!

The basketball slammed violently onto the floor.

It was over!

The Law shut down the King.

Tony Batty let out a scream and started clapping.

Carlos Boozer, grinning, high-fived Jason Kapono.

"Nice one, Jack. You really live up to Gary Payton’s hype as ’The Glove II’."

Just then, Charles Barkley walked over. He had witnessed the whole thing.

James had originally wanted to argue for a jump ball or something, but now he just stormed off.

’Why was Jack so fast on that last play? How did it feel like he was getting faster each time? And... the way he took off looked just like me.’

In that final moment, it truly felt like he was dueling with himself.

’Damn it, did that Little Sheep Su Xi steal my talent? He wasn’t this fast or this explosive when he first got here.’

...

Charles Barkley was chatting with Su Xi.

"Looks like you and LeBron have a good relationship. You guys go one-on-one like this often?" He was in a bit of an interviewer mode. Even though he wasn’t holding a microphone, this kind of material would definitely show up in his future broadcasts. He would use this first-hand information to blow the fans’ minds.

Barkley had arrived late, so he didn’t know the full story.

And Su Xi didn’t feel like explaining.

He just said, "We don’t go one-on-one that often."

"Are you planning to have a breakout game tonight? I think you can get a triple-double with 20 points. If you’re confident, I’ll dare to bet a donkey’s ass against Kenny." Barkley revealed the most important reason for his visit.

He was here for the donkey’s ass.

To this day, the highlight of his commentary career—and also his biggest Waterloo moment—was none other than kissing that donkey’s ass. He had sworn to avenge that humiliation.

Kenny had been constantly finding fault with Su Xi, so he thought this was an opportunity.

It started with a Chinese player, and it would end with a Chinese player.
