Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 126 Indiana Bible
Wade was waiting on the sidelines and congratulated Su Wan generously: "Congratulations, Su, you made it to the finals in your first season in your career!"

There was envy in his eyes.

As an older rookie, he is eager for earlier success.

The annoying thing is that there is always someone who succeeds faster than him.

She's even younger than him.

Only 19 years old!

The 19-year-old Wade didn’t have enough college credits to even play in the NCAA, but he made it to the NBA finals…

What a difference!
Su Wan wanted to say that you will be there soon, but then he remembered that the Pacers next season will be equally strong, and the 06 Heat might not even make it to the finals, so he changed his mind: "Don't worry, Dwyane, there will be a day when you can make it to the finals. If you can't, come to Indiana and join me!"

"Go to hell!"

Wade laughed and punched Su Wan's chest, which was a bit gay.

He took one last look at the stadium and left reluctantly.

He watches this stadium at least a hundred days a year. Normally he wouldn't feel reluctant to leave, but tonight is different.

Tonight is the Eastern Conference Finals stage.

However, his first trip to the Eastern Conference Finals in his career ended in a dismal 1-4 defeat.

I will definitely come back, definitely!
The moment he entered the home team's stadium passage, the lights dimmed, but Wade's face was full of determination and resoluteness.

Next time, he won't leave in such a miserable state.

Because the Heat beat the Pacers so hard, the Heat staff didn't even leave a room for interviews for the Pacers.

Finally, the Pacers received this year's Eastern Conference Finals trophy in the corridor in front of the visiting team's locker room.

This should be the most rudimentary Eastern Conference championship trophy award ceremony in NBA history.

But with this Eastern Conference Finals trophy, this is where the spotlight is focused.

O'Neal and his teammates couldn't let go of the Eastern Conference trophy. Although the Pacers made it to the finals in 00, most of the players on this team, especially many of the main players, were not there at the time. This was the first time they won the Eastern Conference trophy in their careers.

"Can I touch it?"

Artest seemed a little restrained next to him.

He felt that he had not played a single game in the playoffs and was not qualified to touch the trophy.

Reggie Miller was about to speak, but he didn't expect that O'Neal, who usually disliked Artest, would take the initiative to hand over the trophy: "Hold it well, don't drop it!"

His tone was cold, but Reggie Miller knew that O'Neal was trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Welcome back to the finals stage. Is there anything you want to say?" The reporter next to him asked Reggie Miller what he thought of his second finals trip in his career.

Reggie Miller moved his mouth several times, then suddenly smiled with a bit of indifference: "I hope there will be a good result this time!" But he also knew very well that in the history of the NBA, how many people could hold the championship trophy and put a perfect end to their careers?

Larry Bird couldn't do it, and neither could Magic Johnson. If Michael Jordan hadn't willfully chosen to make a second comeback, he would probably have truly "retired perfectly."

Three consecutive championships, and a buzzer beater in the last game.

The scene that Reggie Miller dared not even imagine in his dreams is a true portrayal of Michael Jordan's second retirement.

Maybe it was because he was too perfect that Michael Jordan made the mistake of thinking, "As long as I come back to the basketball court, I will be able to end my career perfectly again at some point in time." The result perfectly illustrates what it means to "have a big tail but can't get rid of it, and have to add a tail to a dog."

Su Wan stood by and watched them follow the "Golden Club", touching them non-stop, and he did not get close to the Eastern Conference championship trophy.

Irene noticed this and said, "Su, don't you want to feel the weight of the Eastern Conference championship trophy?"

Su Wan waved his hand: "In front of the championship trophy, it is nothing!"

The voice of this was quite loud, and the Pacers players who were originally quite happy to touch each other immediately lost interest. Tinsley gave Su Wan a thumbs up:

It has to be you!
The next day, the news that the Pacers had reached the finals again after five years spread across the United States.

Of course, there were also various news related to yesterday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, which attracted huge attention.

There is no way, 58 points created the largest single-game score difference in the NBA playoffs.

Everyone knew that the Heat would be in trouble without Wade, but no one expected that they would be humiliated to this extent.

What's the difference between this and stripping Shaquille O'Neal naked and parading him through the streets?
Suwan's 42 points also made headlines in some media.

The Indiana media directly used the headline "Indiana's Strongest Newcomer".

Another thing is the various trash talks Suwan spewed at Shaq during the game.

Things like "30 points behind, is this your ability to lead the team?", "Without a superstar-level outside player to partner with you, you are nothing, Shaq", "With your current ability, why are you still not willing to be second to Kobe"...

Every sentence is a "explosion within an explosion".

The Los Angeles media published every word of it. If you don't know, you might think that all the Los Angeles media have changed their careers and started publishing magazines related to "Su Wan's Quotations", "Su Wan's Warning to the World", and "Su Wan Teaches You How to Talk Trash".

Kenny Anderson, a former teammate of Shaquille O'Neal, was the guy who missed four free throws in a row in the 95 Finals and then smiled with relief at the free throw line. He was surprised to see these remarks: "I can't believe that these are trash words sprayed at Shaquille by a rookie."

He couldn't imagine that Shaq was unable to respond and was beaten by 58 points!
Kobe felt happy and unhappy when he saw these comments. He really wanted to call Suwan:
"You let Shaq be my No. 2, I'm happy; you said I can't lead Shaq, I'm very unhappy!"

As long as that "Big Shark" helps me well, we can at least get another "three consecutive championships"!
At the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami, Pat Riley is listening to Stan Van Gundy's report on his season as head coach.

After the report, Stan Van Gundy talked about the reports about Shaquille O'Neal: "Pat, should we contact the media we are familiar with and help Shaq remove some of the reports?"

Otherwise the heat is just too high.

He was afraid that the "Great Shark" wouldn't be able to bear it.

and……

Then Shaquille O'Neal will thank them.

Maybe you won't be so resistant to training.

But Pat Riley raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise: "Withdraw the report, why withdraw the report?"

He took a sip of the coffee at hand and glanced at the closed office door again: "In fact, I have contacted some media, but not to report to Shaq, but to ask them to report these news as well."

"???"

Stan Van Gundy's eyes widened.

When Pat Riley saw him like this, he sighed and said, "Stan, do you know what your biggest problem is?"

Stan Van Gundy shook his head.

"That means you don't know what those superstars really care about!"

You know, did you know you were also kicked out of Los Angeles by Magic?

Stan Van Gundy was secretly dissatisfied.

Pat Riley thought he was listening attentively, so he put on a "Godfather" attitude and said, "What these superstars care about most is their self-esteem. Only by crushing Shaq's self-esteem can we make him focus on the training ground. Wait and see, in September, you will see a Shaq that satisfies you appear at the American Airlines Arena!"

Suwan has returned to Indiana at this time. The management still attaches great importance to this finals and held a press conference before the finals.

If nothing unexpected happens, the first game of the finals will be played at the home court of the San Antonio Spurs.

They don't have a large enough venue or conditions there to hold a large-scale press conference.

This season has not been an easy one for the Pacers, from the Palace of Auburn Hills to the finals.

They have experienced extremes.

At this press conference, the five starting players, Reggie Miller, head coach Rick Carlisle, and general manager Larry Bird all sat in front of the microphone, waiting for the interview to begin.

Artest stood enviously at the side entrance, looking at Suwan and other Pacers players under the spotlight.

The reporters seemed to have tacitly agreed to put Su Wan as the "highlight" and put him at the end, and the initial interviews were all about asking other people.

Larry Bird commented on the current Pacers: "I like the current Pacers very much. I also see the temperament of a champion from them. I have great confidence in them, even if they may face the San Antonio Spurs!"

Finally it was Su Wan's turn to be interviewed.

Everyone wants to know how he feels now: "If you win the championship and get the Finals MVP in the end, you will be on par with MJ and become the second player in the NBA to win the Finals MVP in his rookie season."

Su Wan waved his hand, indicating that it was not important. He moved the microphone and cleared his throat. Looking at him, Irene clearly felt that "everyone is ready, I am going to start the show."

"I watched the video of the finals that year, the Pacers vs. the Lakers, with the final score of 2-4. After the game, I saw Reggie Miller sitting dejectedly on the bench with a towel covering his head.

I have a vivid memory of this scene!

At that moment I was thinking, if I were going to be a Pacer, I would have to win it all.

Reggie Miller is sitting next to me right now, and I'm speaking as a Pacers player.

Reggie Miller has contributed greatly to all the highlights the Pacers have had in the past 17 years.

But compared to what the Pacers achieved during the ABA era, it is far from enough.

Now the flag is in my hands.

It is our responsibility to restore Indiana's glory!"

These words stunned everyone at the scene. No one spoke for a long time, even Larry Bird was stunned.

Among all the "slogan masters" he had ever seen, Auerbach ranked first.

But now, he wants to put Su Wan first.

Not to mention others, even he felt that something in his heart was touched after hearing these words.

That is……

Sense of mission!
He had to admit that Su Wan's show-off this time was quite impressive.

Reggie Miller was stunned for a long time. He was shocked by the sense of history and responsibility in Su Wan's words. Apart from "I have a dream", he was sure that this was the most passionate slogan he had ever heard.

As for O'Neal, who had never given up on the position of captain, after hearing this, he sighed deeply in his heart. After Su Wan's words, the position of the "boss" of the Indiana Pacers was probably no longer a foregone conclusion.

Sometimes, it's not enough to just be a good player, you also have to speak well.

What's more, Su Wan is the type who plays basketball beautifully and speaks even more beautifully.

Two words:
Invincible!

Competing with him for the position of "boss" is a very difficult thing.

It’s not a bad loss.

O'Neal Jr. was relieved.

After all, he would never be able to think of these words in his entire life.

These players and the worldly-wise Larry Bird had to go through so many psychological activities, not to mention the reporters in the audience.

The flashes never stopped from that moment on.

Su Wan is destined to be the headline of tomorrow's newspaper.

As expected, Suwan's statement before the finals successfully aroused heated discussions, especially in Indiana, where it unsurprisingly became the Bible.

Suwan’s jerseys, which had always had no problem with sales, are now selling out like hot cakes.

All Indiana people are eager to own a Suwan jersey.

It seems that if you own Su Wan’s jersey, you can become Su Wan’s “follower”.

His words "It is our duty to restore the glory of Indiana" became a banner hung in the streets of Polis, creating an atmosphere for the upcoming championship game.

Indiana fans were delighted, but the Cleveland fans next door were envious.

These days are really tormenting for them.

Every time Suwan led the Pacers through a round of the playoffs, their hearts ached.

The moment we officially eliminated the Heat the night before and entered the finals.

They felt that their hearts, which had been aching all the time, were now completely dead!

Unexpectedly, just one day later, before the finals even started, Su Wan made a move that made them regret sending him away.

It is our responsibility to restore the glory of Indiana!
What a resounding slogan!

If Suwan hadn't left, he would still be a member of the Cavaliers.

So now the team entering the finals has become Cleveland?

Does this slogan become "It is our responsibility to break the Cleveland curse"?

Danny Ferry!

What are you going to use to repay our Su Wan that you owe us?

They went to Quicken Loans Arena and started a fight again.

That night, the Western Conference Finals also entered a crucial game.

The Rockets were in a "last stand" situation after falling behind 0-3.

Without McGrady, the impact on their entire team is really huge.

On the other hand, the Spurs, although Bruce Bowen is suspended, but...

The team was not affected at all.

Whether it is offensive continuity or defensive arrangement.

Without Bruce Bowen, they still have Horry.

The effect is the same anyway.

Shoot three-pointers and then make some dirty moves on defense.

In this way, the Spurs eliminated the Rockets 4-0, and Yao Ming's first trip to the Western Conference Finals ended with being "swept out".

What made Yao Ming even more upset was that there were boos at the Toyota Center, and he felt that they were directed at him!
