Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 117 Let's Congratulate Suwan and the Pacers
"This ball is also for you bitches!"

Su Wan's voice echoed in the Palace of Auburn Hills, extremely clear.

The arena was silent for the first time tonight.

The audience was filled with astonished expressions; they were witnessing a "miracle".

Most of them have seen, on grainy video, Michael Jordan's amazing layup:
Jordan, who was originally preparing to dunk, found during the flight that his jumping height was not enough to complete the dunk. He changed his mind and performed a layup in the air as easy as drinking water.

This is a classic NBA goal comparable to "Dr. J"'s layup after a rebound.

And just now, Suwan, who was about to dunk over Ben Wallace, replicated this shot.

Although Ben Wallace's height is similar to that of a small forward, or even taller, he has the title of "Best Defensive Player". When he shows off such a move, it is absolutely worth it.

Even the most noisy Detroiters have to shut up now.

As fans, they must recognize the "absolute strength".

The score difference came to 2 goals.

There are still more than 3 minutes left.

Everyone on the Pistons felt a sense of crisis.

Billups lost his confidence in the one-on-one duel with Suwan. In that attempt just now, he felt like he was surrounded by a beast. The ball quickly passed to Hamilton. Reggie Miller couldn't stop him at all that night, but...

He had the space to attack, and he subconsciously looked for Su Wan's position.

This also made him miss the opportunity to shoot, and Reggie Miller pounced in front of him.

Rasheed Wallace received the ball at the top of the arc, ready to "deal the cards", but in the end his teammates had no chance and his attempted three-pointer missed.

The ball bounced out of the frame.

Ben Wallace used his "rebounding king" sense, found an excellent position, and jumped high. However, a figure jumped out from behind him, got there first and grabbed the rebound.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the ball is like a cannon.

The explosion made Ben Wallace's ears buzz.

He had no doubt that the ball would be crushed or exploded.

There was another low cry at the scene.

Because from their perspective, Ben Wallace had his melon plucked from the top of his head.

The guy who created this visual impact was none other than Su Wan.

"Defence!"

"Defence!"

“Defence!”

Seeing that Su Wan got the ball again, a unified slogan immediately rang out in the audience. If you listen carefully, you can hear the eagerness in their shouts.

Su Wan's performance in the past few minutes could not be ignored, which made them feel a little scared.

Even just dribbling the ball from the backcourt to the frontcourt made the Detroit people's hearts beat faster.

Prince has always been trustworthy, at least in the hearts of Pistons fans, his defense has almost never failed. It is because of him that the backcourt of Billups and Hamilton has not become a "defensive black hole."

But at this moment, seeing him standing in front of Su Wan, taking small steps and adjusting his defensive position, they felt even more uneasy.

Can it be prevented?

In fact, this question is the same as "Does he really love me?"

When this question is asked, the answer is obvious.

The only difference is that for the latter question, you can continue to deceive yourself and use various reasons to convince yourself that:

He loves me!
The previous question...

The facts will give a clear answer:

Can't help it!
"Shh!"

When Suwan made a series of crossover steps and directly shook Prince aside, the shouts of "Defence" in the stadium suddenly stopped. Amid the wailing of Pistons fans who put their hands in their hair, Suwan hit a jump shot from the free throw line, narrowing the gap to 3 points.

The extremely determined eyes of the Pistons players were completely shaken at this moment.

The assistant coach had to use the last timeout to plan his tactics.

2 minutes is a long time, but it can also be called short. As long as they score this goal, they can still gain an advantage of more than two rounds. As long as they can drag the game time into the "free throw battle", he believes that the Pistons can still win the game thrillingly.

The tactics board was drawn and written over and over again, but the assistant coach did not specify who would make the final attack.

Instead, he offered several possibilities and let Billups decide.

The final choice of "Mr. Clutch" was to give the ball to Rasheed Wallace and then use the "deal from the top of the arc" tactic. Billups and Hamilton rushed out from the left and right sides. Reggie Miller couldn't keep an eye on Hamilton. Just as Suwan was about to make a pass, the "Masked Man" made a long-distance pass to Billups.

The pass was very quick, but because it was a long distance, Suwan still got back to Billups in time and completed the block.

The ball was on a straight trajectory, hitting the rim with a bang, then bounced out and flew very high.

There were cries of regret at the scene.

Bill Walton also said: "This ball has a high probability of going in. It may be that Su's defense speed was too fast, which made Changxi's fingers move faster when he shot. Of course... no player would not be afraid of such a Su!"

This is a sense of oppression that even the "key man" will feel psychologically up and down.

O'Neal Jr. and Ben Wallace fell to the ground during the fight.

They all knew that this rebound would most likely determine the life or death of the game.

Not to mention falling to the ground, even if it means breaking your legs, you still have to fight.

The ball bounced in front of them and was caught by a pair of strong hands.

O'Neal laughed, and Ben Wallace slammed the floor.

The expressions of the two people explained who had the ball this time:
Stephen Jackson of the Pacers got this extremely crucial rebound.

He threw it quickly downfield.

Su Wan was like a hungry cheetah just out of a cage. He attacked with precision and got to the ball before it hit the ground.

"Bah!"

After leaving the other Pistons players far behind, he dunked with both hands to bring the score difference back to 1 point.

The Detroit people at the scene looked as if they were constipated. They no longer had the excitement they had five minutes ago.

The air pressure at the scene was extremely low.

The Pistons players began to have communication errors during their cooperation. The ball that should have been passed to Rasheed Wallace and let Hamilton make another round was given directly to Hamilton. The three-pointer from the top of the arc is the shooting hot spot for most people, but not for the "Masked Man". He prefers to complete the shot at the "45-degree angle" on both sides.

What's more, he had to worry about whether Su Wan would rush out from some corner and shout "Indiana".

The ball almost got stuck on the rim, then fell directly into Foster's hands under the basket.

The close-up shot was given to Ben Wallace, who was being pressed down by the huge Foster from behind, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back.

This is not just Ben Wallace's physical feeling, but also the psychological feeling shared by all the Pistons players and Detroit people:

Su Wan's presence was like a mountain, pressing them down so hard that they couldn't breathe. "Defense, let's defend this ball. Everyone, we are still the leading side. As long as we defend this ball, we will still have a greater advantage!"

The time fell below the last minute, with only more than 40 seconds left, and the Pistons were still leading by one point. As long as they could defend the Pacers' attack in this round, then as Ben Wallace said, they would still have the absolute initiative.

But how can we restrict such a Su Wan?

Everyone has the same idea:

Don’t let Su Wan catch the ball!

The Pistons' defensive advantage lies in the "double Ben" in the interior. They can make it difficult for Tim Duncan and Shaquille O'Neal to receive the ball. But they can't make it difficult for the outside players, especially for a guy like Suwan who has explosive physical fitness, to receive the ball.

Forcing a double team would be counterproductive.

If things go wrong, Reggie Miller and Stephen Jackson on the wing may have to be woken up from the "freeze".

Otherwise, they would have double-teamed Suwan. This is also the reason why the original Pistons allowed Ginobili to play on the wing in the 05 Finals. It's not that they didn't want to restrict him, but they really had no choice but to bet that Ginobili couldn't beat them.

Ginobili killed them.

And Suwan, whose situation was much worse than Ginobili's, also put them in the most difficult situation.

But this time, their desperate blocking worked, at least Suwan was not the first to receive the ball. But Stephen Jackson, who got the ball, aimed at the basket, forcing Hamilton, who was helping to double-team, to quickly return to defense, and Suwan struggled out of the "torn" hole he had created.

Successfully caught the ball.

Prince intends to use forced defense to force Suwan to attack from farther away from the three-point line, which will also give Ben Wallace more reaction time.

But Su Wan watched him approach, and he ignored his long arms, exerted his strength suddenly, and broke through forcefully. The two were very close, and if Su Wan rushed over like this, he would not be able to stop him at all.

In desperation, he could only commit a foul.

Then raise your arms proactively.

His face was filled with frustration.

Billups patted his arm.

They all knew how stressful it was to defend someone like Su Wan.

Suwan in the last 5 minutes was definitely much scarier than Kobe last year. ——Of course, they all knew that this was also related to Suwan not having to defend Hamilton.

Su Wan stood on the free throw line again, and the noisy scolding sounded again, but it was much smaller than the last time he stood on the free throw line.

More Pistons fans chose to put their hands together, pray devoutly, and pray to God silently in their hearts:

Don't go in, don't go in!
pity……

Even "God" couldn't stop Su Wan from making free throws.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

When the second free throw was made, the score difference was completely reversed, the Pistons' 12-point lead was completely consumed, and the Pacers now took the lead.

"Ten seconds..."

"still have a chance!"

"still have a chance!"

Now only the commentators of the local sports station in Detroit still have an optimistic attitude. They keep saying, "There is plenty of time for attack, as long as they can score, the Pistons can still lead!"

But their optimism did not last long, and the hope on their faces disappeared in less than 5 seconds.

because……

As soon as Billups reached the frontcourt with the ball, he was suddenly confronted by Suwan. Hamilton reacted quickly and ran to catch the ball. Billups' hurried pass was caught by Suwan, who stood between the two of them and completed a head-on steal.

What's even more annoying is...

Su Wan got the ball and exerted force suddenly, immediately widening the gap between them. They didn't even have the chance to foul in the first place.

"Hahahaha!"

Barkley was amused.

Suwan quickly ran towards the Pistons' basket. Hamilton and Billups saw that they couldn't catch up and Suwan was getting close to the basket, so they stopped chasing and slowly walked over to serve the ball. But Suwan saw that they didn't catch up, so he simply waited there, wasting about 2 seconds, and Hamilton and Billups hurried forward.

Su Wan was not in a hurry to shoot. He waited for them to commit a foul and then take the free throws.

As a result, there was less than 1 second left, which was not enough for a direct shot from the backcourt.

"Shh!"

"Shh!"

Suwan made both free throws, widening the score difference to three points and providing the Pacers with the final insurance.

Even if the Pistons scored all three points and didn’t go into overtime, they would have gone into overtime.

"beep!"

Unfortunately, in the end, Billups had just got the ball in his hand and hadn't thrown it yet when the buzzer sounded.

The game is over.

Su Wan immediately faced the Pistons' audience and made a "strangling" gesture.

The already silent audience seats became even quieter now, without a single sound.

Many people touched their throats unconsciously.

At this moment, they really felt that Su Wan was strangling them.

TNT kindly released the video of Reggie Miller performing a "two-handed throat lock" in front of the Knicks audience 11 years ago for comparison.

Daben was standing next to Su Wan and watched him do this, but he did not rush forward to stop him angrily like he did before.

Su Wan's performance at the last moment completely convinced him.

Such a winner can only endure silently no matter how his victory is celebrated.

If your skills are not as good as others, what else can you say?

Then Suwan was knocked down by O'Neal Jr., Stephen Jackson and Tinsley who swarmed over.

Barkley looked at this scene, his eyes still recalling the dominance that Suwan had shown on the court in the past 6 minutes: "Dear audience, this is a very typical playoff game. If you still don't understand the importance of a superstar to a team, then this game will make all your doubts disappear!"

Before winning the championship, the "Piston Five" had a more popular name, called the "Civilian Five".

This nickname says it all.

This team has 4 All-Stars, but none of them are truly traditional "superstars"!
Their success has shaken the NBA's "superstar-only theory" to a certain extent, and the media began to wonder whether a championship-winning team really needs a "superstar" as its cornerstone.

And now, everything is explained.

No one would say that the Pistons won the championship last year because of luck, and luck cannot win the championship, but they were reversed tonight and it proved that they are also afraid of "superstars"!
Su Wan defeated them all by himself...

"32 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 5 steals, 4 blocks, a shocking statistic..." Bill Walton, "But everyone who watched this game knows that the dominance displayed by Suwan is even more shocking than this statistic. The 54-point night was his masterpiece in the regular season, and tonight's game is the masterpiece of his playoff career. Let us congratulate Suwan and the Pacers for eliminating the Pistons 4-1 and entering this year's Eastern Conference Finals!"
