Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 109 Who of you is guarding against me?

At the beginning, Su Wan started the "The zone" mode like this:

At the start of the game, he provoked his opponent, who fought back, and then he successfully entered “The zone” mode.

As he's become more famous lately, the process of turning on "The Zone" has gradually become:
At the beginning of the game, he provoked his opponent, who turned into a "Ninja Turtle" and hid his head in his skull. He continued to output, and his opponent finally couldn't stand it anymore and fought back. He successfully entered the "The zone" mode.

But this match was very rare. Before Su Wan could attack his opponent, his opponent attacked him first.

In the first round, Suwan missed the shot when he attacked the basket with the ball. Eddy Curry, who came to the basket in time, immediately shouted at him: "The best rookie with 97% of the votes, is this all you can do? You are far from it!"

He thought he was standing up for Ben Gordon.

But because of what he said, his good brother was blocked by Su Wan in his first attack.

Chicagoans see the shadow of Michael Jordan in Ben Gordon.

But in the end, Ben Gordon failed to become Michael Jordan, and he was not even "one-fifth of Joe". He could only be considered to have inherited "one-third of Jordan's big heart."

There are many reasons that affect Ben Gordon's further development, such as his poor ball-handling ability and his short stature at the No. 1 position, he is only 91 meters...

With this height playing the two position, he should be able to dazzle Suwan with his brilliant dribbling, just like Allen Iverson, but Ben Gordon is best at shooting and does not have good positioning ability. This is a very bad thing, because it seems to be telling Suwan that I will shoot when I get the ball.

Then he would block the shot without hesitation.

The Chicago commentators, who had just been full of anticipation, watched Suwan get a block on his shot, which caused the audience to cheer, and their expressions froze.

This is not the "Ben Gordon way" they are familiar with!
"Bah!"

Su Wan dunked and made a "jet" gesture of "low-altitude gliding" while returning to defense.

Irene wrote in her notebook:

This is a soaring eagle!

He added:
Fascinating!
It was the Bulls' turn to attack again. The Chicago commentator rubbed his eyes. He thought he must have been still sleepy and was dazzled. He chose to trust Ben Gordon again.

Like him, the Bulls' head coach on the sidelines and the Bulls players on the court also believe in Ben Gordon.

In order to ensure that Ben Gordon could receive the ball more smoothly, Hinrich chose to "cross" run with him and implement the "hand-to-hand" tactic.

This is undoubtedly a very smart decision.

But he underestimated the Pacers' ability to quickly double-team in this mismatch.

When Hinrich and Ben Gordon overlapped in running positions and the moment they passed the ball, Tinsley quickly let go of Hinrich and ran towards Ben Gordon for a head-on interception.

Ben Gordon, who thought he could attack directly after leaving Su Wan behind, paused.

Before his brain could work quickly, Su Wan pounced out from behind him like a cheetah and headed straight for the basketball in his hand.

"Surrounded!" exclaimed the Chicago commentator.

Ben Gordon reacted quickly, raised his hand and drew a rainbow in front of him.

A standard "triple threat" opening move.

But he failed to force Tinsley back, and instead exposed the ball to Suwan's field of vision.

"Snapped!"

With precise and quick cut-off, Tinsley grabbed the ball and passed it to Suwan in the frontcourt.

The Suwan brand "jet" took off again and bombed the basket.

"Bah!"

The temperature at Conseco Fieldhouse continues to rise.

Not only are the players of the Bulls "rookies", but the head coach is actually a "rookie" as well. The Pacers' fierce defense confused him from the beginning, and he could not think of any other solution except to replace Ben Gordon on a daily basis.

who am I?
where am I?
What do I do now?
His eyes moved randomly following the movements of the players on the field.

Hinrich also had the same confused look as him.

Ben Gordon failed to make any progress, which made him a little confused about what to do.

Eddy Curry chose to step up as a senior.

He performed well in the game against the Lakers last season and was called "the best center in the East" by Shaq. He became famous overnight and the media called him "Little Shark". His weight did "sharkify" year after year, and then nothing happened. He was diagnosed with heart disease and his excess weight crushed his fragile knees.

But there is no doubt that he is in the best phase of his career. He averaged 53.8 points with a hit rate of 16.1% in the regular season. He feels that he should be included in the "Best Team".

His confidence allowed him to catch the ball at this time. Foster blocked in front of him, and O'Neal Jr. made up for him when he turned around at the last moment.

"Dangdang!"

The ball finally bounced out of the basket, Antonio Davis grabbed the "offensive rebound" and habitually passed it to Ben Gordon.

His "big heart" was reflected at this time. Although he was blocked once and intercepted once in the first two rounds, it did not hinder Ben Gordon's confidence in shooting.

The results prove that having the confidence to shoot and being able to make the shot are two different things.

Just like when Kobe took three consecutive three-pointers in the playoffs, all of which missed.

Ben Gordon paid tribute to his predecessors.

The Bulls' "second attack" in this round ended with an "air ball".

"Oh, No!"

The Chicago commentator began to howl. This was a Ben Gordon he had never seen before.

He looks like a rookie now!
The good news is:

He is indeed a rookie!

His partner next to him glanced at him and said nothing, but the look in his eyes said it all:
Wait till next year, man!
He will be better!
"Who's attacking? Why are your scores stuck at three minutes ago?"

At the scene, Suwan watched Ben Gordon throw an "air ball" and shouted to the Bulls bench. The Pacers fans behind the bench smiled knowingly. The "Larry Bird imitation show" has started again. This kid always has something new to do. At the beginning, Larry Bird shouted to the Pistons bench, "Who is guarding me?", and now Suwan shouted to the bench:

Who of you is attacking?

"I heard that your team has a best sixth man who is good at offense. Where is he and why doesn't he come up?"

Not to mention the Pacers fans, even the Bulls players on the bench couldn't help but laugh.

Especially when combined with Ben Gordon's expression at the moment, it's a real-life sitcom!
It's hard not to laugh!

and……

"Who of you is guarding me?"

It came late, but it arrived. At 8 minutes and 14 seconds in the first quarter, when Suwan's score reached 10 points, the "Larry Bird Imitation Show" of this game also entered its second season, and this time it was an authentic reappearance of the classic.

Ben Gordon, who was unable to attack, could not defend himself and could only allow Su Wan to humiliate him severely.

Under this momentum, the Bulls suffered a crushing defeat and were 18 points behind at halftime.

巴克利看了一眼苏万的半场数据：21分4篮板2助攻2抢断2盖帽。

There are still 36 points away from 15 points. If this performance continues, Barkley thinks it will not be difficult for Suwan to break the record: "The only factor that prevents Suwan from completing this task now is whether the young people of the Bulls can hold on until that moment? We all know that young people are very fragile, and Suwan is not a person who will stay on the court in 'garbage time'. We all know this."

"Don't you want to talk about Ben Gordon?" Kenny Smith asked from the side.

"There's nothing to talk about, man. What a terrible mess. The Chicago media's expectations of him will all disappear after this night. In fact, I haven't paid attention to this matter since the beginning of the game. This is purely the Chicago media making things difficult for Ben. I'm more concerned about whether Sue can break Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's record." Barkley didn't want to say it, but he still made a "hindsight" comment and felt very refreshed.

The "poisonous milk" attribute of "Feizhu" began to show in this game.

As he said, the Pacers continued to show their strong form at the beginning of the third quarter. Looking at the Bulls, they had not yet recovered from the chaos of the first half, so they were hit by an 11 to 3 "scoring spree" just at the beginning of the second half, and the score difference was widened to more than 25 points.

Scott Skiles tried to adjust the lineup and launch several counterattacks, but all failed. Seeing the Bulls' main players lowering their heads, Scott replaced these young players to prevent them from saying "screw their basketball dreams" after the game.

Rick Carlisle also followed the rules of the game and replaced all the starters, including Suwan. Before Suwan left the court, he asked, "Guys, you are only 4 points away from breaking the record of the skyhook, do you want to stay on the court?"

Su Wan shook his head: "I prefer an open ending, allowing others to imagine my infinite possibilities!"

"See? I said, I guessed Su's move. He is that kind of person." Barkley was very happy that Su Wan left the court at this time and sat on the bench, which proved that he was not wrong about him.

He likes Su Wan's free and easy attitude.

This may cost him some record-breaking opportunities, but it will undoubtedly make him more attractive.

During the intermission of the third quarter, the reporter asked Su Wan: "Will you continue to play in the fourth quarter? You are only 4 points away from breaking the record."

Su Wan's answer was the same as before: "No."

"Why?" The reporter who was interviewing was very surprised, and his expression seemed to want to witness this historic moment more than Su Wan.

Su Wan’s answer was simple: “Tired!”

He was not talking nonsense, he was really tired, he had played in "The Zone" mode for 25 minutes, the pace of the playoffs is faster than the regular season. Although the Bulls kids don't understand what the playoffs are, the Pacers do. And they taught them a hard lesson.

The difference in strength between the two teams is not enough to cause a breakdown after three quarters.

This is more of a gap in experience...

But how could the reporters believe his nonsense? Like Barkley, they were filled with emotion.

If a person who has no money says that he doesn’t want 100 million yuan even if it’s given to him, others will just smile knowingly and won’t take it seriously. Only when a person who can wave his hand and say “I just don’t want it” when 100 million yuan is placed in front of him will make people drop their jaws.

This reporter has had contact with LeBron several times.

He believes that if it were LeBron, he would definitely continue to play, break the record, and then return to the bench, and then say after the game, "I don't really care about breaking records. Winning makes me happier than breaking records."

You ask him why he understands LeBron so well?
Just kidding, in fact, most reporters can quickly tell what kind of personality their interview subjects have, hypocritical or real, but the job prevents them from telling the truth.

At the end of the game, the Pacers won a 27-point victory and got off to a good start.

苏万出战32分15秒，拿到了33分，此外还有5个篮板4次助攻，以及3次抢断和2次盖帽。

Ben Gordon's stats were 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist.

Reporters from the Chicago media slipped away as soon as the game ended.

Originally they had prepared a lot of sharp questions to ask, but now, they knew very well that going to interview Su Wan would be "asking for humiliation."

ABC's reporter once again asked Su Wan about why he did not choose to break the record. Su Wan said: "I have important things to do. Now we still need to win 15 games!"

The Indiana fans in the audience were stunned for a moment, then they reacted and the cheers in the audience gradually became unified.

They all understood that there were only 15 wins left to win the championship!
Then Suwan stood in the player tunnel and continued to be interviewed.

"How did it feel to beat Ben Gordon?"

"There's nothing special about it, he's just a substitute and I'm the starter."

"But he's the best sixth man!"

"That's just a substitute..."

"Aren't you afraid that your teammates will be unhappy if you say that?"

“My teammates are used to it.”

Su Wan happened to see Reggie Miller passing by behind him, and he shouted, "Reggie, come and have a bullfight with me, let me tell you how big the gap is between you as a substitute and me as a starter!"

Reggie Miller avoided the camera and replied from a distance: "fxxk you!"

Su Wan turned around and said to the reporters: "See!"

This caused laughter.

"Aren't you afraid that the substitutes of other teams will be unhappy?"

"Is this something I need to care about? It's their business if they're unhappy. As long as I feel good, that's enough. I can't take care of everyone's mood."

The interview was quickly spread, but surprisingly, the Chicago media did not feel unhappy at all. In competitive sports, strength speaks. The team lost by nearly 30 points, and Ben Gordon was also ridiculed as "Who is attacking on your team?" They really had no confidence to refute anything.

Now they just hope that the Bulls can perform well in the second game so that they can have some say.

Frankly speaking, the Bulls did perform better in the second game than in the first. They lost by 27 points in the first game, but only lost by 19 points in the second game. The improvement was obvious. But the Chicago media can only keep their mouths shut.

After finishing their two home games, the Pacers moved to Chicago, and the next two games will be played at Chicago's home court.

At the same time, Su Wan paid attention to the game between the Mavericks and the Lakers.

Just as he knew, the Rockets defeated the strong team and won two away games at home in Dallas. Next, they will return to their home court.

Mark Cuban was anxious and cut a video of the so-called "Yao Ming's mobile pick-and-roll" overnight and submitted it to the league. He slammed the table and questioned the league's favoritism towards the Rockets and Yao Ming, and he hoped that the league would give an explanation.

The Mavericks owner felt aggrieved, and the Rockets owner stood up and said that he was also aggrieved, and David Stern's pressure was immediately relieved.

But "Yao Ming Shan Da" is a "coward". He only cares about the money he makes from Yao Ming and doesn't care about anything else.

David Stern had no choice but to hold a meeting with the Referees Association overnight and arranged for Donaghy to be the "main referee" for the third game between the Mavericks and the Rockets, focusing on Yao Ming's moving single-block foul and traveling mistakes in the paint.

Mark Cuban smiled when he heard about this series of arrangements, but just when he thought everything was arranged, on the day of the third game between the Rockets and the Mavericks, the FBI suddenly issued an investigation warrant and took Donaghy away on charges of "suspected gambling and controlling the game."

At the same time, the media began to spread the news that David Stern, in order to take care of Mark Cuban's emotions, was going to whistle against Yao Ming starting from the third game of the series, forcing him to play with fouls behind his back.

One stone caused a thousand ripples, and Houston fans were not happy about it.

The official quickly issued a statement:

These are all rumors, we definitely don't mean that.

When Mark Cuban saw this situation, he immediately stopped laughing.

He knew that David Stern would not target Yao Ming at this critical moment.
