NBA: This center is incredibly strong.

The game continued, and the SuperSonics took the throw-in. Clark received the ball and, seeing that Mason didn't ask for it, had to attack himself.

"That guy is too scary, we can't go inside."

Clark recalled Mason's horrific performance of being blocked repeatedly and felt lingering fear, deciding that he should probably avoid challenging that big boss.

He then dribbled to the left high post area and pulled up for a jump shot over the defender.

With a loud crash!

The basketball bounced off the rim and missed.

Under the basket, Chen Yan leaped up, grabbed the basketball with one hand, and held it up after landing to prevent the smaller opposing player from stealing it.

Seeing the opponent retreat, he passed the ball to his own defender Coleman, who was moving forward to receive it.

Chen Yan, who was a basketball enthusiast in his previous life, had no recollection of this. He probably never officially joined the NBA and was just a nobody.

Coleman dribbled the ball up the court, ready to go it alone.

For fringe players like Coleman, there is no way out here; only by giving it their all can they possibly knock on the door of the NBA.

"Hey! Man, give me the ball!" Chen Yan backed down and blocked the SuperSonics' center, Olumid Odeje, reaching out for the ball.

Although he had played terribly before and made frequent mistakes, as the fifth overall pick in the first round, he was definitely a "prodigy" in the Summer League and had virtually unlimited shooting opportunities on this Magic team.

Coleman was unwilling, but he had no choice but to obediently pass the ball over.

At the edge of the penalty area, Chen Yan received a pass, glanced at the defender behind him, and recalled the guy's weaknesses.

Olumid Odeje, 208 cm tall and 109 kg, plays center; he was selected 13th overall in the second round of the 2000 NBA draft by the Seattle SuperSonics; he didn't achieve much in the NBA, but he dominated in the CBA, being selected to the CBA All-Star team three times, winning the CBA rebounding title twice, and setting a CBA single-game rebounding record.

"With an advantage in height and weight, plus terrifying strength and incredible jumping ability, the advantage is mine, I can easily take control!"

Chen Yan's confidence soared. He dribbled once, then pushed back with all his might, easily knocking O'Bryant aside. He turned and leaped into the air, grabbing the ball with one hand and dunking it towards the basket.

"What the hell is this monster? Did it grow up eating springs?!" Odje, who was knocked aside, was stunned by Chen Yan's actions and missed the opportunity to jump and block.

Bang!

Chen Yan dunked the ball into the basket with one hand, narrowing the gap.

Scattered cheers and shouts erupted again from the audience.

Possession changed, and it was the SuperSonics' turn to attack.

Clark dribbled the ball up the court and saw that Mason was still looking lost. Instead of passing the ball rashly, he waved for a screen and tried to get Chen Yan out of the paint.

Odja understood immediately and quickly ran forward, turning to the side to provide cover.

The NBA does not currently have a defensive three-second rule; it will be implemented next season.

"Trying to lure me out? You won't get away with it." Chen Yan saw through their trick and stayed in the restricted area, waiting for the hat to be delivered to his door.

Seeing that Chen Yan did not come out, Clark used a screen to get rid of Coleman, took a step and jumped to shoot.

Coleman, who had forced his way through the cover, arrived too late and could only jump from the side to interfere.

Clark was unaffected, but his touch was off, and he still couldn't make the shot.

The Magic secured the rebound in the backcourt, Coleman received the ball and advanced, seeing Chen Yan on a fast break, he didn't hesitate at all, using all his strength to make a long pass that ran the length of the court.

The basketball traced a long arc in the air, flying precisely towards the frontcourt.

Chen Yan sprinted forward head down, his legs like tireless engines, driving him wildly.

At the same time, Mason saw an opportunity to wash away his previous humiliation, rallied, and quickly returned to defense, trying to stop the ball.

Chen Yan, who was sprinting at full speed, received a long pass. Seeing that an opposing player had retreated to the penalty area and was coming towards him, he didn't think twice and took a big step, stepping on the free-throw line with his right foot and slamming it onto the floor!

Jump!

All the power in his body exploded at this moment!

With waist and abdomen taut like a bow, the body stretches out to its fullest extent in the air, exuding an explosive and beautiful power!

He held the falling basketball high with one hand, his arm pulled back as if it were a powerful bow ready to be released!

Mason, who was trying to intercept the ball, saw that Chen Yan was not playing by the rules. He gritted his teeth, with the last bit of unwillingness and humiliation, and jumped up with all his might the moment Chen Yan jumped, stretching out his arm to try to block and interfere in the end!

He absolutely would not allow this Chinese person to score against him!

However, it was all too late.

Chen Yan's upward momentum seemed to defy gravity, reaching an awe-inspiring peak.

He looked down at the sluggish, futilely outstretched figure, his eyes burning with a cold flame.

That wasn't contempt, but a declaration—a declaration of the end of the old days!

With the power of his entire body, the humiliation of his past life, the rage of his rebirth, and the explosive force granted by the system, Chen Yan's right arm, holding the ball, slammed the ball into the basket with overwhelming force, over Mason's outstretched arm!

"Clang—!!!!"

The rim emitted a deafening, almost groaning sound!

The entire basketball hoop shook violently back and forth, emitting a teeth-grinding creaking sound!

Chen Yan's body paused noticeably in mid-air, releasing all his power!

Then he let go and landed steadily.

Mason, who was trying to block the shot, was violently knocked away by the overwhelming force, lost his balance, staggered backward, and fell to the floor with a thud, his face filled with utter bewilderment and horror.

At this moment, the Energy Solutions Arena felt as if a nuclear bomb had been dropped on it!

The accumulated energy instantly transformed into a sound wave powerful enough to blow off the roof!

"Aaaaaaahh ...

"Chen! Chen! Chen!"

"Holy Fucking Shit!!! A poster dunk! He posterized that bastard!"

"My God! What did I just see?! A Chinese sprinter!"

"The Magic! The Magic have struck gold!"

The frenzied shouts were no longer sporadic exclamations, but a unified, overwhelming wave!

Countless arms waved in the air, and countless people jumped up from their seats, their faces contorted with extreme excitement!

Those who were previously mocking the "noodle man" are now filled with fervor and worship.

His name is Chen Yan!

This name was shouted out so loudly and so wildly for the first time, echoing in every corner of the stadium!

On the sidelines, the Magic's bench was in complete chaos.

The towels were tossed into the air, and the players frantically bumped chests and roared, more excited than if they had scored a goal themselves.

Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy stared wide-eyed, his mouth agape enough to fit a fist.

The plastic board covered with tactical diagrams in his hand had somehow slipped out of his grasp and landed on the smooth floor with a "thud," sliding a considerable distance away.

He was completely oblivious, staring blankly at the figure on the court, clad in a blue jersey, standing like a god of war under the basket. His lips trembled as he repeatedly uttered the same sentence, his voice shaking with disbelief and shock:

"God... what... what kind of monster did we sign?!"
