Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 118 Su Wan hopes this will come true
"He destroyed us all by himself. This was his night." - Billups talked about Suwan's performance and was convinced;
"What else is there to say? Hats off. Other than that, I have nothing to say." - Hamilton was also full of respect for Suwan's performance;
"He has a stronger desire to win than us, and you can see it from his eyes." - Prince commented on Suwan;

"This has something to do with Larry's absence, but in my opinion, when Suwan played like this, even if Larry was on the sidelines, there was nothing he could do. I don't want to make excuses. He played a perfect performance." - Rasheed Wallace said at the end, shaking his head slightly. This will be the most impressive playoff game in his career;

"He was celebrating his promotion. He did that. Whether it was legal or not is up to the league. As for him doing that, if I won a match like this, I would also do some seemingly excessive actions to celebrate. But this doesn't mean we're giving up. We will get it back, we will." - Ben Wallace commented on Suwan's final "strangling with both hands". This time he was very calm and his comments were very objective.
In the post-match interview, the Pistons' "Five Tigers" had a very consistent attitude:

We were defeated tonight!

Ben Wallace is a little tougher and is still thinking about revenge tomorrow.

And this is "Da Ben". The representative of "inspiration" will naturally not give in easily.

The Pacers also praised Suwan highly.

Rick Carlisle said bluntly: "I think I can now understand the joy of Phil Jackson coaching Michael Jordan and Shaquille O'Neal."

Artest said: "When Su Wan wants to win, no one can stop him!"

Stephen Jackson, who shot 7 of 0 from beyond the three-point line, said: "I almost became the sinner of the team tonight, but fortunately, we have Suwan, an incredible guy!"

O'Neal Jr.: "At the last moment, Rick actually asked Sue what he needed us to do. He told us that we just needed to quietly appreciate his performance and give applause at the right time. It was indeed a perfect performance!"

Reggie Miller: "It's a blessing to meet Suwan in my career!"

He knew very well that if the Pistons really survived tonight, the following games would become increasingly difficult and would certainly be full of uncertainties. You couldn't let the defending champions who were about to fall off the cliff see the possibility of survival, as that would only lead to their most ferocious counterattack.

The reporter asked about Suwan's post-match move: "Did you ever think he would do this (chokehold)?"

Reggie Miller smiled: "In fact, when he repeated Bird's classic moments on the court again and again, I knew that sooner or later it would be my turn, so when I saw him do that move, I was not surprised, but just said in my heart, look, this day has come!"

"There is no doubt that this move will make many fans remember him. It is most appropriate for him to end our game against the Pistons with such a move."

"But this move has been banned by the league. I'm sure he will get a ticket. Will you pay the fine for him?"

"Of course." Reggie Miller agreed without hesitation.

During the interview, Suwan learned from the reporter that Reggie Miller was going to give him a ticket. He showed a matter-of-fact expression: "I am very happy that he has such awareness. After all, if it weren't for him, how would I know such a celebration? He taught a newcomer who was like a blank sheet of paper a bad lesson. This is his punishment."

Bah, you are still a blank sheet of paper!

The reporters surrounding Su Wan all cursed him in their hearts for being shameless.

"Su, you seem to like to do some celebrations after the game, from hugging your arms to the chokehold this time. What we want to know is, will you do some new celebrations in the Eastern Conference Finals? You know, the outside world is imitating your hugging arms action, you are the leader."

Su Wan said: "It depends on what kind of game I'm playing. Generally, I might just say a few insignificant trash talks. For example, in the game between me and the Bulls, if there are some conflicts between us, I might do some more radical celebrations. This is Indiana. We don't take the initiative to provoke anyone. We are just fighting against those who take the initiative to provoke us, to let them know that we are not easy to bully."

Harmless trash talk?
The reporters couldn't help but complain again.

The interview ended quickly.

Actually, Su Wan was in a good mood today and was willing to let the reporters interview him for a while longer. However, they had to return to Indiana tonight, so there was no way...

When they got on the team bus, the first thing Artest said to him was: "Your fellow countryman may also make it to the Western Conference Finals!"

"Huh?" Su Wan was stunned for a moment, "They should have lost the first game against the Suns, right?"

"They lost the first game, but they won the second game, so they have the home advantage." Artest informed the reporters of the news he had just received.

Su Wan was a little surprised to hear that the Rockets had tied the score. He asked his assistant coach to look up the regular season records of the Suns and the Rockets and found out that they had played against each other three times this season, and the Rockets won two of them, with one of the games being a big win of about 2 points.

Noticing this, Su Wan carefully studied the three games and found that defeating the Suns had little to do with Yao Ming's performance, as he had a solid foundation.

Anyway, if Yao Ming doesn't play well, Amare will definitely not play well either. The important thing is that McGrady can open up the situation from the wing.

As long as he can explode, the Rockets can win easily.

It would be really interesting if they could even beat the Suns.

McGrady's 35 points in 13 seconds happened in December last year. At that time, he was like a dark cloud hanging over the Spurs' heads.

So the Rockets' most promising year is not 2009, but 2005?
However, if we really want to say it, in the history of the NBA, any combination that fails to achieve results in the first year of cooperation will only get worse and worse in the future. The most typical example is Billups and Anthony.

They made it to the Western Conference Finals in their first year together, and never quite reached those heights again.

The same goes for Yao Ming and McGrady.

Originally, the Rockets made it to the second round of the playoffs until the two of them were no longer on the same team.

It is worth mentioning that it was at that time that the Rockets truly treated Yao Ming as the absolute core.

From this perspective, if Yao Ming had been made the absolute core earlier, the Rockets might have achieved greater results.

All we can say is that Yao Ming met McGrady at the wrong time.

Although he is also an All-Star starter in the Western Conference, McGrady is a two-time scoring champion and has more experience. He does not want to be second to the third-year Yao Ming, and the team management will not find it difficult to accept.

Or to put it more bluntly, 35 points in 13 seconds raised the outside world's imagination of McGrady.

In fact, he is a "first-round virgin"!
However, McGrady in 05 still had his absolute peak at the end, and he also contributed to the famous scene of riding and dunking on "Bamboo Pole" in the playoffs. Now that they have passed the first round, there is indeed room for imagination.

Especially if they can beat the Suns, facing the Spurs, maybe they can achieve the possibility of reaching the finals in the first year of cooperation.

Suwan hopes this will come true.

From his point of view, among the remaining teams in the Western Conference, the Spurs, Suns and Rockets, the easiest to deal with is the Rockets!
The Pacers' Eastern Conference playoff journey is tough enough. After playing against the defending champions, they will have to face Shaquille O'Neal, the "best center in the league." If they really make it out of the East, who wouldn't want to pick on an easy target?

It was already 2: in the morning when we returned to Polis International Airport.

What Su Wan and his friends didn't expect was that enthusiastic Pacers fans came to pick them up at the airport again.

Defeating the Pistons and advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals was a scene they never imagined before the playoffs began.

Even though they thought it was highly likely, believing it was possible is different from actually making it a reality!

The Pacers actually eliminated the Pistons!

And it was a "gentleman's sweep" of "4-1".

It was so strong that they thought it was a game between another team and the Pistons.

This not only avenged the defeat at the Palace of Auburn Hills, but also the defeat in the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

To be honest, Indiana people no longer find it so difficult to let go of the "Palace of Auburn Hills Incident". In their opinion, if it weren't for this disaster, how could they have obtained Suwan?
They have to thank the bottle of drink from the Pistons fans for allowing Artest to throw the punch that changed Boris' fate!
"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

A unified shout rang out at the airport.

If the "MVP" shouts to Suwan at the end of the season were a response to Barkley's ridicule, then now, the "MVP" shouts ringing in the Boris Airport are truly shouts from the heart.

Su Wan’s performance in the last few minutes of the game made them wet!

No disrespect to Reggie Miller, but there has never been such a shocking performance in Indiana's history.

Reggie Miller certainly had his "Miller moment."

But Suwan not only defeated the Pistons on the offensive end, he also locked down the Pistons' offense on the defensive end.

Dominant performance on both offense and defense...

This is not something Reggie Miller can do.

And Suwan's "chokehold" on the Pistons in the final moments satisfied all their imaginations of the ending of this series.

That's how it should be!
That's how it should be!
They had no objection to Su Wan becoming Indiana's "new name card" a long time ago, and now they were even more impressed. They were just about to put a dragon robe on Su Wan and say to him: "Your Majesty, Chen Qiao is here, let's rebel!"

Su Wan did not give a speech as he did in the past.

Late at night!
Moreover, after he turned on "The Zone" mode today, he did all kinds of operations that challenged his body's limits. His body's reaction to these operations was quite obvious. He just wanted to lie down and rest, but facing the enthusiastic Pacers fans, he still tried his best to raise his interest and raised his voice:

"Everyone, there are still 8 more wins to go, wait for us to take home the O'Brien Cup!"

With just one sentence, the entire Polis Airport was in an uproar.

Rick Carlisle looked at Suwan casually stirring up the emotions of these fans, shook his head slightly, his eyes full of emotion:
He understands so well!

Su Wan wanted to go home quickly, so he chose to end his speech with just one sentence. But in the end, this one sentence alone set off a bunch of "firecrackers". They surrounded Su Wan and made a "crackling" sound for more than half an hour before they finally let him get back into the car.

By the time he got home, it was nearly 4 a.m., and the Los Angeles "snake" was already dribbling in the gym. (Don't tell me Kobe only goes to the gym at 4 a.m. occasionally, I'm just kidding.)
Finally lying on the bed, Su Wan didn't know how he fell asleep. He just closed his eyes, and then...

When I opened my eyes again, it was already 10: in the morning of the next day.

"Ugh!"

Su Wan felt like he had been "dead" for several days and then woke up again.

Although challenging the limits of the body was enjoyable, the damage to the body was very obvious. He felt sore all over, and the sequelae would probably last for two or three days.

Fortunately, there have been no games in recent days.

After the third game between the Pacers and the Pistons, the Heat finally waited for the Wizards to advance to the second round. Now they have just finished the second game of the series and are currently leading 2-0. Even if they sweep and advance, they still have 5 days of rest.

5 days is enough time for him to become a "good man" again!
Just in case, Su Wan put all the zone values ​​of recent days into "Injury Resistance". After filling them up, the potential value of "Injury Resistance" directly became 90 points.

Due to the recent preparations for the playoffs, his training program is not rich. The main training is focused on ball control, breakthroughs and mid-range shots. He has no time to train other skills, so he has not used the zone value these days.

Originally, he was planning to save it up and wait until the summer to boost his physical potential.

But this time, after trying some extreme operations in "The zone" mode, he found that there was a risk of injury.

In order to avoid tragedy, he chose to add all the zone values ​​accumulated in these days to "injury resistance".

Although this cannot make the pain in his body go away, it can at least reduce his risk of subsequent injury.

He should have added "injury resistance" long ago, but his foundation was too poor, so he had no choice but to improve other more important aspects first.

Fortunately, he has never suffered any serious injuries.

After shutting down the system, Su Wan planned to get up and go to the gym to practice.

The Pacers did not have a routine practice today.

They still have some time before the Eastern Conference Finals, and yesterday's game against the Pistons was another tough battle, so Carlisle gave everyone a day off.

But Su Wan did not plan to rest. Although the aftereffects of his body were obvious and he could not do strength training, he could do shooting training.

People are lazy.

The only thing that can kill laziness is habit.

After packing up everything with great difficulty, Irene called and the first thing she said was:

"Su, can you really enter the state of 'The Zone' that Michael mentioned?"

Su Wan: ???
