Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 125 58, 58! !
The player who took the starting position in place of Dwyane Wade was Rasual Butler.

A "comeback show" from the second round.

Usually such players are either the core of the team and have excellent explosiveness, such as Michael Redd and Gilbert Arenas.

Or they have enthusiasm and good scoring skills.

Butler belongs to the second type, a more standard "3D player".

But his three-point shooting ability is not that stable, and his defensive ability is not that good.

Can only become a regular rotation for the Heat.

He replaced Wade and Eddie Jones was finally able to play the No. 2 position, which he was better at.

But in this way, he would have to face off against Su Wan...

Looking at Su Wan's shining eyes, Eddie Jones suddenly had a strong idea:

It's gonna be bad tonight!

It turns out that sometimes, men's intuition is really accurate.

Su Wan played all kinds of singles against him and made him lose all his temper.

At 7 minutes and 34 seconds in the first quarter, Stan Van Gundy looked at Suwan's stats sheet, which showed a glaring 7 of 5 shots and 3 of 3 free throws, and sighed helplessly.

Originally, he wanted to limit Suwan's performance, so he put Eddie Jones back to the second position.

He also didn't expect Eddie Jones to completely restrict Suwan. Given Jones' current state, this was unrealistic. But even if it was just a slight restriction, it would still achieve the tactical goal. The Heat's wing and power forward positions had good defensive capabilities.

But the result...

It cannot be said that there is no effect at all, it can only be said that there is no effect at all.

Watching Suwan doing whatever he wanted on the court and scoring all kinds of points, the Heat fans at the scene realized that Wade was not only the "offensive core" of the Heat, but his continuous output throughout the season accounted for 30% or more of the Heat's total offensive GDP; he also shouldered a lot of responsibilities on the defensive end.

This is going to tire our "new core" to death!

Wade probably didn't expect that by not playing, he would become the biggest winner of the Heat tonight.

Some people are like this. When they are around, you feel they are very important.

When he's gone, oh my god, it's more important!

Su Wan showed his "scoring talent" in various ways on the scoring end.

Just as Shaquille O'Neal thought before the game, he encountered all kinds of frustrating "double-teams". Not to mention taking the ball to attack, the Pacers had no intention of letting him touch the ball today.

Whenever the ball was about to reach him, at least two people would appear instantly and surround Foster. If he hesitated for even a second, it would become extremely difficult for him to even pass the ball.

These guys don't care how many points the other Heat players score.

As long as he doesn't score!

Rather...

Even Shaquille O'Neal was double-teamed like this, but the other Heat players still couldn't score.

Of course, this is not the fault of the other players on the Heat. If it was last season, the team played "egalitarianism" and everyone had a certain chance to shoot in every game. Then at the critical moment, everyone could stand up and take on some of the scoring responsibilities.

But this season the team is playing an absolute "star tactic", with the ball in the hands of Wade and Shaq. The average points per game of these two in the regular season combined is nearly half of the team's points every night!

Apart from these two people, the team's highest score was no more than 12.1 points.

The others were already used to it and scattered around them to shoot "balls of chance".

A score like this that requires them to attack hard to complete...

Including Eddie Jones, the former All-Star perimeter player whose footsteps even Kobe Bryant learned, has now regressed and can't even get the ball!
At the end of the first quarter, the Pacers had opened up a gap of nearly 15 points.

Su Wan scored 16 points in a single quarter!
This is without opening "The zone".

This shows how bad Eddie Jones' defense is.

No, that's not right. Eddie Jones has no problem defending ordinary players, and Suwan's actual strength is not that much stronger. Mainly because in the previous few games, he faced top-level defenders like Wade, and now he has switched to Eddie Jones, which makes the difficulty much lower.

It feels a bit like when Guan Yu fought against other people after Lu Bu died.

No matter how you look at it, the people standing on the opposite side are all traitors!
Not tasty enough~
There is another reason, Eddie Jones' physical fitness has declined.

Otherwise, it would cause more interference to Su Wan.

In the second quarter, Stan Van Gundy began to arrange defense against Suwan. This arrangement was not a big deal, as the three-pointers from both wings were opened.

Stephen Jackson and Reggie Miller fired continuously, and the two of them made a total of 7 three-pointers in a single quarter, and they alone scored 21 points.

The score difference instantly widened to more than 25 points.

"If the Heat continue to play like this, they will most likely lose this game by 40 points!" Barkley also discovered that Suwan's performance in the second half is often better than in the first half.

He seemed...

Using the first half to warm up?

Because Su Wan was severely double-teamed in the second quarter, his stats did not increase significantly. He scored 16 points in the first quarter, but only 24 points at the end of the first half...

This made him realize his lack of scoring methods...

With Shaquille O'Neal guarding the paint, his efficiency in attacking the basket was far less than looking for opportunities in the mid-range, and the Heat players also discovered this.

If his range could be a little longer, he would have more options.

Unfortunately, his next zone value will be saved for improving his physical fitness in the summer.

Moreover, even if all of them were added now, his three-point potential would at most be raised to around 85 points, which would not be enough to develop his three-point shot in a short period of time.

Let’s wait until next season.

Moreover, the double-teaming he attracted was worthy of his "core" status.

Look at Reggie Miller and Stephen Jackson, how happy they are shooting?

Stan Van Gundy began to face a dilemma. If he put more energy into defending Suwan like he did in the second game of the series, he had no doubt that Reggie Miller and Stephen Jackson would set a three-point record tonight.

But if we don't target Su Wan so much, what if he scores 16 points in a single quarter like he did in the first quarter?
So far, Suwan's highest score in a single playoff game is 34 points, and now he is only 10 points away from breaking this record.

Is it to let Reggie Miller and Stephen Jackson break the three-point record, or to let Suwan break his personal single-game high in the playoffs.

Before Stan Van Gundy made a decision, Shaquille O'Neal quit.

At the beginning of the second half, the Pacers' offensive momentum continued, and the score difference broke through 30 points. Shaquille O'Neal took the initiative to call a timeout, and then waved his hand like Zhu Bajie and said, "Stan, I don't want to play anymore!"

He had a hard time playing on the court. Wade was not there and the Pacers were "hanging" on him the whole time, not giving him any 1v1 opportunities.

It is reasonable to say that if his teammates can score a goal after attracting such a heavy double-team, he would be willing to do so. He is not an expendable "Shark".

But teammates...

He doesn't score!
Instead of continuing to suffer on the court, it is better to sit on the sidelines early.

Most black people have a bit of "avoidant personality". When something happens, they run away immediately. This can be seen from the fact that most black people choose to abandon their wives and children. They are a bunch of ostriches.

Shaquille O'Neal is no exception.

In fact, he has all the bad habits of black people, but people pay more attention to his naive and amusing appearance, and thus subconsciously ignore these problems.

Stan Van Gundy wanted to persuade him to hold on a little longer, saying that if he left the court now, the team would collapse immediately.

But he had seen Shaq bargaining with Pat Riley, and he knew very well that Shaq O'Neal was not discussing or consulting with him, he was just informing him.

"beep!"

The referee blew the whistle and the person who replaced Shaquille O'Neal was Christian Laettner.

Once upon a time, he was a "super rookie" who beat Shaquille O'Neal to be selected into the "Dream Team One" and a college student who made a sensation across the United States in the early 90s. Unfortunately, his development after entering the league was far below expectations. Although he had been an All-Star, it was still far from his glory in college. He even came to the Heat at the end of his career to be a substitute for Shaq, who had been beaten by him in college.

However, there is nothing to be sad about.

Because this guy is not a good person.

It's just that as the spotlight faded, he became more restrained, that's all.

Su Wan didn't pay any attention to him, and his attention soon shifted to Shaquille O'Neal on the bench.

Do you think you'll be let off the hook just by sitting on the bench?

Shaq, you are so naive.

"Trailing by 30 points, is this how you lead a team? Shaq!"

"As expected of the Finals MVP who has been swept the most times in the playoffs, his dominance is truly amazing!"

"Without a superstar perimeter player to partner with you, you are nothing, Shaq!"

"The Lakers management should be glad they abandoned you after watching this game!"

"With your current abilities, why aren't you willing to be second to Kobe?"

"Do you think Kobe Bryant can no longer lead you, so you come to cling to Dwyane?"

Almost every time, as soon as a goal was scored, Suwan would come in front of Shaq and then give him some heart-wrenching "trash talk".

Shaquille O'Neal has never looked uglier.

He wanted to rush up immediately and wrestle with Su Wan.

but……

He doesn't dare!
He could still remember the fierce look on Foster's face when he pushed him, and he also remembered the crazy boos from the Indiana people at Conseco Fieldhouse. He was not sure how many people from the Heat would rush to help him if he really fought with Suwan. But he knew very well that the Pacers would definitely rush over and wrestle with him.

He is very sure!

Damn it, why did I pull him like that?

Shaq felt a little regretful.

I regret it much more than when I scolded Yao Ming.

Su Wan's tough counterattacks, wave after wave, were endless and brought him endless humiliation. The key was that he could not fight back.

Since he came to the NBA, he has never suffered such humiliation!
More importantly...

Listening to the constant sound of shutter clicks on the sidelines, he was sure that Su Wan's mocking words would be reported in the newspaper tomorrow.

Being humiliated like this by a rookie, he was really in big trouble.

The "shark's" face was burning. If this continued, he had no doubt that he would become a "roasted shark". In the end, he decided to go all out and simply covered his face with a towel.

That's what ostriches do!

Just as Stan Van Gundy expected, after Shaquille O'Neal left the court, the Heat completely collapsed, and the score difference continued to widen from 30 points to 40 points. At the end of the third quarter, it reached 48 points!
Su Wan spent the entire second half looking for opportunities for his teammates, with the main theme of "Celebrating together and feeding the sharks together".

main……

The best weapon to widen the gap is still the three-pointer.

The players on the Heat team had lost their backbone and their fighting spirit. They had no power to resist and could only watch the score gap widen little by little.

"Su was still on the court in the fourth quarter. This is the first time I remember that he did not go off to rest when the team was leading by a large margin, but I also know that he had every reason to do so!" Barkley was very excited, and he also strongly supported Suwan to continue playing.

One of his favorite things to do is...

Watch Shaquille O'Neal get humiliated!
In order to prevent this "fathead shark" from always talking to him about the championship ring, whenever this "fat guy" mentions the championship to him in the future, he will mention the night when Shaq was severely humiliated by Su Wan.

How many points will we win in the end?
If this were a movie, Buckley would definitely scroll to the end to see the result first.

He was just too curious.

Fortunately, the game completely entered "garbage time" and neither head coach called for a timeout. The referee wanted to help the Heat but didn't know how to help. In this situation, even if the whistle started to smoke, it would be useless.

The game time passed quickly.

At the end of the game, the score was fixed at 119 to 61, and the Pacers defeated the Heat by 58 points!
"A new historical record has been created. Suwan and the Pacers created the largest single-game score difference in the playoffs, 58 points! And they defeated the Heat, which had the 'three-time champion' Shaquille O'Neal! At the same time, let us congratulate the Pacers for winning this year's Eastern Conference championship and becoming the first team to successfully advance to the finals this year!"

Bill Walton screamed hard, fearing that others couldn't hear him. Suwan beat Shaquille O'Neal by 58 points in one game!
At Wake Forest, a 1-foot-83 man shook his head and said, "Is that all Shaq can do?"

Who would be beaten by 58 points in the playoffs?

If such a person can win three consecutive championships in the NBA, he will be more confident in conquering the NBA!
When Su Wan saw the score, he was happy. It was this number!
Shaquille O'Neal thought he could escape humiliation by leaving the game early, but he didn't expect the Pacers to be so ruthless and create such a big score difference, nailing him to the "pillar of shame".

苏万今晚最终的数据也定格在了42分7篮板3助攻3抢断2盖帽。

He was in very good form tonight, and he was like a duck in water when he entered "The zone" in the second half.

Shaq's "ostrich attribute" completely broke out at this moment. When the buzzer sounded, he wanted to escape in a panic. Realizing that he had taken the wrong road, he was now walking towards the visiting team's player tunnel, but he immediately turned back.

Su Wan didn't chase him. He just picked up the microphone of the host on the sidelines and shouted, "Shaq!"

The sound from the microphone spread out and shocked Shaquille O'Neal who was trying to escape.

He turned his head blankly and looked in Su Wan's direction.

"Remember, don't mess with Indiana again!"
