Bruce Bowen's flying kick was aimed at Su Wan, and a murmur ran through the crowd as some San Antonio people displayed anticipatory smiles, hoping to see Bowen kick Su to the ground.
But the next scene left them stunned. In a split second, Su somehow reacted, using his hand to fend off Bowen's foot just before falling to the ground.
Instead, it was Bowen who, unbalanced by Su's deflection, fell backward, his head hitting the floor with a thud.
The murmur instantly turned into a roar, as the more squeamish fans turned their heads away, frowning and closing their eyes, not daring to look back at the court. Only when their friends reassured them that there wasn't the gruesome scene they imagined did they dare to open their eyes.
By then, they saw the once lively Bowen lying motionless on the floor, only the rise and fall of his chest proving he was still alive.
"Team doctor, team doctor!"
