Chapter 109: 50+ Steals Triple-Double, Madison Square Garden Massacre

Halftime Score: Suns 72, Knicks 44.

The Suns strolled into the locker room up by 28 points, and it looked like they’d just played a glorified shootaround.

”Seventy-two in the first half? The Suns are playing out of their damn minds tonight!”

”Have the Knicks already packed it in? That was some of the worst defense I’ve seen.”

”Bro, you could’ve told me this was an All-Star Game and I’d believe you!”

”Yo, Chen Yan’s going off! 36 points, 7 assists, and 7 steals—just in the first half!”

Even though the game wasn’t broadcast live in China, it didn’t stop fans back home from going wild. Platforms like Zhibo Bar and Hupu were blowing up with updates and reactions.

Inside the Knicks’ locker room, it was dead silent.

Isaiah Thomas might’ve been a great player, but coaching and managing? That was another story. He knew he had lost the locker room—players had tuned him out. And once a coach loses control, it’s only a matter of time before the axe drops.

Second Half: More of the Same

The Knicks came out in the second half showing no signs of improvement on defense. At this point, players just cared about padding their stats—bigger numbers meant better contracts. Defense? That was someone else’s problem. They didn’t think they could win anyway.

That mindset was exactly why the Knicks were tanking so hard.

Crawford opened the third quarter with a slick step-back three—classic Jamal, pulling off a tough shot with ease.

But Chen Yan came right back down and answered with a cold pull-up three of his own.

On the next play, as Crawford tried to drive, Chen read him like a book. He slipped out of the blind spot—

”Snap!”

A clean steal.

Chen knew Crawford wasn’t passing, so he gambled—and won.

The Suns immediately pushed the break. Three-on-one. The only Knick back was Q-Rich.

Chen lobbed the ball into the air—no-look alley-oop.

Every single player on the Suns bench stood up.

Why? Because that lob was for Steve Nash.

Yeah. Nash. Alley-oop.

When’s the last time that happened?

Nash leapt off one foot, started fading mid-air...

Luckily, Chen kept the pass low. Nash caught it, kissed it off the glass. Bucket.

”Steve, try dunking next time,” Chen grinned as he jogged past.

”Only if you let me borrow your legs, man,” Nash laughed.

Even in his prime, Nash wasn’t much of a dunker. Now? Forget about it.

A few plays later, the Knicks botched another possession. Big Q cut to the corner, but Nate Robinson passed it behind him.

Chen pounced—another steal. That was steal number nine.

Then came the highlight reel.

Chen Yan turned on the jets.

First, he spun past Eddy Curry like he wasn’t even there.

Next, he hit Crawford with a filthy between-the-legs crossover and left him stumbling.

Finally, facing Nate Robinson, he hit a front-cross hesitation, and boom—Little Nate whiffed on the reach.

Ankle insurance? Denied.

The crowd lost their minds.

”Yo, Chen’s treating the Knicks like practice dummies!”

”Bro just cooked three dudes in a row!”

”This ain’t a game anymore—it’s a clinic!”

Chen had a wide-open lane... but instead of a dunk or layup, he pulled up from three.

Suns were up big, and Chen was just vibing now—playing loose, having fun.

”Swish!”

Net didn’t even move.

Chen now had 44 points.

As he jogged back on defense, he ran the sideline giving high-fives to the entire bench. Even Knicks fans couldn’t help but clap.

And yes—Scarlett Johansson, sitting courtside, stood up and applauded too. She wasn’t swooning—she just appreciated elite hoop.

With the game slipping out of control, the Suns started playing streetball. Everyone locked and loaded from deep like it was a contest.

If it went in? Cool.

If it didn’t? Whatever. Still party time.

Announcer Table Banter:

”Chen Yan’s got 50 now!”

”This dude’s officially on fire. Again.”

”Eleven dimes. Nine steals. He’s one swipe away from a steals triple-double!”

”That’s insane, man. You know how rare that is?”

”Dude, I’m trying that in our school game later!”

”Try a turnovers double-double first, bro.”

The Suns were now up by 39—a full-on demolition.

Across China, students flooded forums and chat rooms. Everyone was talking about Chen’s explosion.

Even without live TV, this game became a national moment.

Fans didn’t care about analytics or efficiency—they saw 50+ and a crazy stat line and lost their minds.

Then it happened.

Chen Yan snatched his 10th steal.

Half of them were Knicks blunders, but credit to Chen’s instincts—he was hunting every passing lane.

The Knicks had long since checked out. No fight. No pride. Just waiting for the buzzer to clock out.

1:57 left in the third quarter. Suns lead by 44.

Coach D’Antoni called timeout and did the smart thing—pulled all the starters.

He didn’t want anyone getting hurt or triggering a scuffle.

The Knicks weren’t putting up resistance, but they damn sure had tempers.

Chen’s final line:

52 points, 11 assists, 10 steals.

A 50+ steals triple-double—the first in NBA history.

Bench Mob Takeover

Even after the starters sat, the beatdown didn’t stop.

Azubuike came in firing—hit back-to-back threes, keeping the pressure on.

To him, this wasn’t garbage time—it was a chance to feast.

Meanwhile, on the Suns bench...

”Yo Chen, you hoopin’ after the game?” Stoudemire nudged him.

”Huh? Hoop?” Chen looked confused.

Stat smirked and pointed toward the crowd.

Chen turned—and spotted Kim Kardashian dancing in her seat, working the camera.

The Suns bench erupted.

”Ayo! Kardashian’s tryna get with Chen now?”

”She confessed her love, right? It’s already public!”

Chen shook his head with a bitter smile. ”Come on, man. She’s not my type.”

”What’s ’type’ gotta do with it?” Stoudemire laughed. ”Get with her and you’ll become her type!”

Everyone cracked up.

”Chen might make headlines again!”

”King of the gossip column!”

”Maybe he should go into movies, with that pretty face.”

It was all love. The team loved teasing each other, and Chen didn’t mind being the butt of the jokes. It just showed how close they were.

Final Moments

Before the game ended, Knicks fans couldn’t take it anymore.

Some pulled out paper bags and put them over their heads.

They weren’t just embarrassed—they were done.

It was the ultimate form of protest: We don’t even want to be seen supporting this team.

Final Score: Suns 139, Knicks 81.

A 58-point blowout at Madison Square Garden.

On November 29, 2007, the Suns delivered one of the most humiliating losses in MSG history—a game that would go down in NBA lore as:

The Madison Square Garden Massacre.

IDK if you like the story (Tensura) that i found, i only chose this because of the high ratings and i notice that there’s no one translating this.
