Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 110 Crazy Season

Su Wan was naturally responsible for this.

The phone call and materials reporting Donaghy were made by Bill Duffy.

As Yao Ming's agent, Bill Duffy should have done these things, so he did not refuse and was happy to do them. Who doesn't want his clients to be more successful?
In the third season of his career, Yao Ming and McGrady were called the "new OK combination" and should have shined even more.

He could have done it. They gave the Mavericks an 0-2 start, and then Mark Cuban sent the tape.

This kind of "out-of-the-box" move is not uncommon in NBA history, but it is rare for the boss to personally take action.

Suwan could understand Cuban's urgency.

If the Mavericks eliminate the Rockets, they will meet the Suns in the second round.

Mark Cuban needs such an opportunity to prove himself.

He's willing to do crazy things to do this.

But Suwan didn't want to watch the Mavericks win by these "out-of-the-box tricks".

He's out!

In fact, he did not do anything, just let Bill Duffy collect evidence and then submit the evidence. The two phone calls took less than 5 minutes in total.

Speaking of Donaghy, there is something very scary when you think about it. Before becoming an NBA referee, he refereed the CBA in China for a period of time...

The original Donaghy had the potential to become a representative of high-level referees from the Chinese League.

But contrary to his wishes, he ended up becoming a negative example.

Another interesting thing is that he was also the referee in the "Palace of Auburn Hills Incident".

If Artest heard the news that Donahue was taken away, he would probably hug him and go to the nightclub and call him a girl he often went to. Unfortunately, Suwan would not tell anyone about this matter, and neither would Bill Duffy.

It feels great to be in control of everything from behind the scenes.

There is a sense of being the "big boss behind the scenes".

As a time traveler, in addition to showing dazzling light, there is one more thing to do, which is to create a "butterfly effect".

Now that the "butterfly" has flapped its wings, we will have to wait and see what kind of impact it will have.

Su Wan did not continue to pay attention to the subsequent developments and focused on the next series with the Bulls.

Moving to Chicago, the Bulls' young guys returned to their home court and the mood on the court was visibly relaxed, which caused the Pacers to run into some trouble. After three quarters, they only led by 8 points.

The young players of the Bulls saw the hope of winning and began to show strong momentum, standing up one after another.

The atmosphere at the scene continued to rise with each goal.

But at this time, Suwan stood up and responded continuously, returning all the goals scored by Ben Gordon, Hinrich and Luol Deng.

This was definitely the most promising game for the Bulls, but unfortunately, with Suwan scoring 11 points in a row in the final quarter, the Bulls missed the best opportunity. The game time passed little by little, and in the last few minutes, the young people's impatience emerged. The Bulls made consecutive mistakes and handed over the third victory of the series.

After the game, the Chicago media watched Suwan score 30 points again and couldn't help but shout, "Why didn't such a guy get 100% of the votes in the 'Best Rookie' voting?"

Ben Gordon is nothing in front of him!

Ok……

It only took three games for him to go from questioning to being convinced.

This proves one thing:
The Chicago media is not tough!
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

The Bulls perfectly illustrate this statement.

With the score of 0-3, they completely lost their fighting spirit. After a symbolic resistance in the fourth game, they surrendered early.

Su Wan started the game again in the third quarter.

Barkley felt sorry for Su Wan: "Such an opponent will affect Su's statistics!"

4场比赛下来，苏万2场比赛砍下30加，全部四场比赛场均30.6分钟的出场时间，可以拿到26.5分6.5篮板3.5助攻2.5抢断1.5盖帽……

This is already a "super huge" level of data.

But everyone knows that Su Wan can achieve even better results as long as he stays on the court...

"Study well!"

When the camera zoomed in, Barkley pointed at the big screen, showed an abstract expression, and shouted. Although he didn't mention the name, everyone knew who he was talking about.

However, despite this, Suwan was still selected by many media as the "best player" in the first week of the playoffs. This does not win any honorary trophies, but it also shows how outstanding Suwan's performance was in the first round of the playoffs.

Of course, the media that deserve to be criticized are still there to belittle Su Wan. For example, the Detroit media bluntly said: "Su Wan performed very well among a group of rookies. This is why he won the best rookie award. He just proved it again!"

This means:

What does it mean for you, Suwan, to perform well against a "rookie" like the Bulls?

Come to Detroit and let the Pistons tell you what the fucking "playoffs" are!
The Pacers were the strongest team in the first round, but the Detroit media did not feel burdened at all, and the Pistons also eliminated the Philadelphia 4ers with Allen Iverson very smoothly with a score of 1-76.

Larry Brown had the last laugh in this "master-disciple PK".

The Philadelphia 76ers not only have Allen Iverson, but also former "King" Chris Webber. On paper, they are strong in the eyes of most media. In the eyes of the Detroit media, they are a team with championship potential.

But now, the Pistons easily defeated them.

because……

"The Pistons are the defending champions!"

Suwan's response was powerful: "After this series, no one will call the Pistons the defending champions anymore. We will overthrow them!"

Ben Wallace immediately responded: "This is the funniest joke I've ever heard. It seems that this kid is funnier than Yao." Su Wan laughed: "You are beaten like shit by Yao every time. How can you care whether Yao is funny or not?"

This "knife" directly pierced Ben Wallace's aorta.

There are three inside players in the league that Ben Wallace least wants to meet. Yao Ming is one of them, and the other two are Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal.

The two of them exchanged insults from a distance, intensifying the already smoky atmosphere before the game. The league also added fuel to the fire by announcing this season's "Team of the Season":
First up is the "Best First Team" list:

Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, Nowitzki, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal.

There is basically no controversy.

Iverson is this year's "scoring champion", averaging 31.4 points per game; Steve Nash is the league's "assist king" and the biggest favorite for this season's regular season MVP; Nowitzki played the best form of his career, averaging 26.1 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.5 blocks per game. The Mavericks' "weird lineup" was able to rank fourth in the Western Conference at the end of the season, and it really depended on him to be both a father and a mother; Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal need no further explanation. There is only one possibility for these two people not being in the "Best First Team":
Eating feces!

Sadly, it is still their time.

“Best Second Team”:
Dwyane Wade, Suwan, Kevin Garnett, Shawn Marion, Amar'e Stoudemire;
When the media saw Su Wan appear in this position, they were directly "shocked, buddy".

You know, the last NBA player to be selected into the "Best Team" in his rookie season was Tim Popovich in 97.

Although "Stone Buddha" was selected to the "Best First Team" in his rookie season, Su Wan was only selected to the "Second Team". It seems that there is still a gap between him and him, but this gap... can it be made up in 4 years?
After all, Tim Duncan was 23 years old when he was named to the “Best First Team”, and Suwan is only 19 years old now!
At this age, it is much more difficult to win the "Best Second Team" than it was for Tim Duncan back then.

The 97-98 season was the "Twilight of the Gods". A large number of outstanding forwards were at the end of their careers, such as Barkley and Dominique Wilkins, and the competition was not fierce.

At least among the "Four Great Forwards" in the early 20th century, Kevin Garnett and Nowitzki were still in their developmental stages, and Tim Duncan's opponents were the 37-year-old Karl Malone and Chris Webber, who had just joined the Kings.

Suwan is different. In addition to the "Four Great Shooting Guards", there are Ray Allen, Mesozoic generation like Steve Nash, and the new generation like the fierce Gilbert Arenas, Michael Reed, and Dwyane Wade.

About ten "top players" compete for six spots.

This is what it means to steal meat in the jungle.

Rather...

He actually managed to snatch it away!

But no matter how surprised people are, Suwan's data and the Pacers' record are here, and he can withstand all the doubts.

Well, there weren't many doubts.

Some exaggerated doubts are more like exclamations.

Moreover, he has the support of Nike media, so he is not at all at a disadvantage.

Ok……

Now he has really become "LeBron"!

The list of the "Best Three Teams" is:
Gilbert Arenas, Ray Allen, McGrady, O'Neal Jr., Ben Wallace.

The Los Angeles media, which was already somewhat restless, could no longer sit still:
"Last season's All-NBA First Team was not selected for this year's All-NBA First Team. What on earth are you doing? Are you deliberately creating a gimmick? A guy who averaged 27.6 points, 5.9 rebounds and 6 assists per game can't make the All-NBA First Team? This is the biggest joke of this season."

The Cleveland media were just as angry as them. LeBron James had disappointed them, but they still had to keep looking forward to it, so they still had to protect LeBron James, the "Son of the City":
"When a player averages 27.2 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.2 assists per game but can't make the 'Best Team', I can only say that this list has no credibility at all!"

As a result, the media, led by Barkley, immediately countered Cleveland's remarks:
"When he no longer scores 7 points in three quarters against Su Wan, it won't be too late for us to discuss whether he is qualified to be on this list!"

"LeBron is a 'stats guru'. Forgive me for using this term, but if a player who didn't make the playoffs makes the All-NBA team, it sets a bad example for the league and makes people sigh, oh ~ Nike!"

"If LeBron is included in this year's 'All-NBA Team', this list will have no credibility at all!"

……

As for Kobe, most media people's reasons are:
“The competition is so fierce this year, it’s a crazy season!”

"You can't not include Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Suwan, Dwyane Wade, Gilbert Arenas, and Ray Allen on this list. This is a disrespect for their efforts for a season!"

"Kobe had his issues, he only played 66 games, and ... the Lakers were th in the West, and those are issues, especially in a competitive period."

In fact, as far as Su Wan knew, Kobe and LeBron James were originally included in the "Best Team".

Kobe was selected to the "Best Third Team" and LeBron was selected to the "Best Second Team".

But because of his arrival, the "butterfly effect" occurred, and the Pacers, who were originally ranked sixth in the regular season, ranked third. For such a team, a 20+10 power forward appeared. If the media ignores his existence, it would be disrespectful to him.

In addition, there is the sudden emergence of Su Wan, this "phenomenal newcomer".

Therefore, No. 23 and No. 24 both returned home and were dropped out of the "Best Team".

Oh, there is another reason that cannot be ignored for LeBron to be dropped from the "Best Team", that is, his performance in the "life and death game" against Suwan was so bad that the media still complain about him. Even from the media that responded to Cleveland directly calling LeBron a "data brush", it can be seen how big the impact is.

That was an absolutely devastating moment for LeBron.

In addition, O'Neal Jr. was selected to the "Best Defensive Second Team".

As for Suwan, his failure to make the "defensive lineup" annoyed the Indiana media: "These officials should really open their eyes and watch the Pacers' game carefully to see Su's contribution on the defensive end, so that they won't have any doubts (about Suwan's inclusion in the best defensive lineup)!"

Although Suwan did not make the "Best Defense Team", he also made the "Best Rookie First Team" this year. Of course, this is a matter of course. If the "Best Rookie" cannot make the "Best Rookie First Team", then it can only be said that the officials fell asleep when making this list.

Overall, Suwan was very satisfied with his achievements at the end of the season: "Best Rookie", "Best Second Team", "Best Rookie First Team", he got all the honors he deserved, and also didn't get any that he shouldn't have.

But this caused dissatisfaction among the Detroit media.

Because the Pistons are second in the Eastern Conference, but only one player on their team was selected for the "Best Team", and he was only ranked in the "Best Third Team".

And what about the Pacers?
They are third in the Eastern Conference, but have two players selected for the "Best Team", and the highest ranked one is even ranked in the "Best Second Team"!
Is there any justice in this world?
"Just wait and see, the facts will let everyone know how stupid the official ranking is!"

On May 5, the storm was about to come in Detroit, and the Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers, who had been arguing with each other, finally had their first game of the series.
