Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 144 Indiana, I'm back!

Before the start of the season, the Indiana media had the worst expectations for the Pacers without Suwan, and that the record might not be very good.

But they never expected that this unsightly record would be:
1 wins and 5 losses!
There are all kinds of voices from the outside world, which are mainly divided into two factions.

Some people believe that the Pacers' current situation looks very critical, but as long as Suwan returns, everything will quickly get back on track.

But this part of the sound only accounts for a small part.

More voices believe that the Pacers have undergone major changes this summer. Reggie Miller retired, Stephen Jackson left, and three or four new players joined the team. They do not have such a strong sense of identification with this Pacers team.

The team's continuous losses will definitely affect his mentality.

People like Barkley who have played in the NBA understand this better.

Even though he is a die-hard fan of Suwan, at this moment he does not think that Suwan's return can immediately reverse the Pacers' current predicament. The main reason is that he does not think that many of the problems currently exposed by the Pacers can be immediately solved by Suwan's return.

"We have all been through that moment, and we all know how difficult it is. The Pacers did not retain their entire roster from last season. With the addition of new players, there will inevitably be new adjustments, including Artest, who has been suspended for the entire season. The Pacers he is familiar with are actually two different teams from the Pacers who won the championship in June. He also needs to adjust again."

"When a team keeps losing, friction is bound to occur!"

I have to say that Barkley's judgment in this regard is very correct.

Because at the same time he questioned the Pacers, Artest and O'Neal had another argument at the Conseco Arena training ground:

"I just don't understand. Could you really not see me at that position just now? Why didn't you pass the ball?"

"I've never seen an inside player move to the elbow area every day. If you were under the basket, would I not be able to see you?"

"The way the inside players influence the game is no longer limited to the one under the basket. Ron, are you really only suspended for one season? Why do I feel like you've been suspended for ten years?"

"I'm going to fuck you!"

"I'm going to fuck you too!"

……

But the other members of the Pacers acted as if they didn't see anything. While the two men were arguing with each other, they drank water or wiped their sweat with towels.

From the day they lost to the Clippers to today, they have quarreled at least ten times.

At first everyone was trying to persuade them, but after a few times, they realized that the two brothers were just playing!
Tinsley once acted as a "clown" and tried to persuade them earnestly, but the two of them just finished arguing and went to take a shower together. He was so angry that he cursed: "If I pay any more attention to them, I will be a dog!"

but……

Larry Bird is really good at fooling people.

Look at what O'Neal looks like now.

This is really thinking of yourself as a "trend pioneer"!

He said, "The way inside players influence the game is not necessarily under the basket," and then he said, "Times have changed."

Of course, times have certainly changed.

Su Wan believes that after his comeback, O'Neal Jr. will definitely shine on the court and interpret the charm of the "space-type No. 4 position."

The screen returned to TNT, and Barkley made a summary speech: "So I think even after Suwan comes back, they still need some time to run in before they can really get on the right track."

On the other side, in the Quicken Loans Arena, LeBron James faced the media cameras with a look of venting on his face: "This is how I influence the game, this is my path, I don't care about other people's doubts, it turns out that they are not God, they also have problems that they can't solve, I believe we will go a long way this season, I have found the rhythm, and our entire team feels very good now!"

He also praised Zhu Fangyu: "He is a very good player. He almost grasped every shot and his shooting was very accurate. I always think we are the best partners. There is a very good chemical reaction between us. He is very professional and he knows his position. This is a very good signing. The greatest respect goes to Danny Ferry. I am very satisfied with our lineup this season!"

Seeing LeBron so high-spirited, the Cleveland media also felt relieved.

Last season was a depressing season for LeBron, and it was also a depressing year for the entire Cleveland.

Suwan was like a dark cloud hanging over LeBron's head that could not be dispelled.

Finally, things have changed and the Cavaliers started this season very strongly. After 6 games, they got off to a perfect start with 5 wins and 1 loss, and now they are ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

This is in stark contrast to the Pacers, who are ranked 1th in the Eastern Conference with 5 win and losses.

Even though this is the record of the Pacers without Suwan, the opinions of Cleveland reporters are similar to most of the current public opinion:

Even if Su Wan returns, it will be difficult to change the current situation in a short period of time.

It will take some time for the Pacers to get back on track.

This time it was Suwan's turn to chase LeBron.

Such a plot makes them feel happy.

More importantly, LeBron's statistics have improved again, averaging 31.5 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists per game, which is simply explosive.

Sure enough, the "Chosen One" is the "Chosen One", and no one can stand above him for long.

That was his place, and he would return there eventually.

November 11th, a big day for Indiana fans.

Suwan, who has been suspended for 7 games, will officially return in this game.

This is the most critical moment for the Pacers. In a sense, it is similar to the stage of the "Palace of Auburn Hills Incident" last season. It doesn't seem that critical, but if they continue to lose, this team will definitely have problems, and it will be a big problem that will directly fall apart.

By that time, everything will be irreversible.

Before the game, Erin handed Suwan a video of LeBron James' enthusiastic interview and added, "Including yesterday, this is the third time your fellow countryman has said that LeBron is enthusiastic."

"They really are a natural pair!" Su Wan showed a sarcastic smile.

But he was in no hurry.

LeBron is the type of person who thinks “when we win, we’re all brothers”, but if he loses, he’ll immediately say “No, brother, who are you?”
You can unfollow any Twitter account you follow.

The Cavaliers are currently in their "honeymoon period".

But Suwan is very clear that the Cavaliers' record this season is much stronger than last season, but definitely not as strong as it is now, and at the beginning of a new season, the rankings fluctuate greatly. Today's first place in the Eastern Conference may be ranked seventh in two days.

After all, the difference in the number of wins between the two sides is only one or two games.

A series of defeats immediately exposed the true face.

When the time comes, we will look at the relationship between LeBron and Zhu Fangyu, and that will be the most real thing.

Didn't you see that when Wade just joined the Cavaliers, even during interviews, LeBron would come to the camera and act like "good friends for life". But once the team's performance was not as good as expected and Wade was traded, he didn't say a word.

Right now, the most important thing is to win a resounding victory.

Tonight the Pacers will be at home against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Sometimes, you have to admire the "logo man" called "Jerry West".

I don't know what's wrong with his brain. He managed the Lakers and brought the "Purple and Gold Dynasty" three consecutive championships. Now in Memphis, he quickly got rid of the reputation of the Grizzlies as a bottom team. Not only did they successfully make it to the playoffs last season, but they are still ranked among the top eight in the Western Conference this season.

As we all know, the competition for the top eight spots in the Western Conference is very intense. If the Grizzlies' record were in the Eastern Conference, they would be in the top four.

For the current Pacers team, it is an absolute tough rival.

Pessimistic Pacers fans even think:

A small loss is considered a win!

However, it was also because of their pessimism that Su Wan became their "lifeline".

When the familiar prelude of "Extreme Ways" sounded, there was a huge cheer at the scene. Su Wan trotted all the way from the home team's player channel, walked to the center of the venue, and went straight to the technical table.

Irene seemed to have already thought of what he was going to do and even prepared a microphone for him.

Su Wan took the microphone, jumped onto the technical platform with big strides, and shouted:

"Indiana, I'm back!"

The man wearing the No. 23 jersey of the Bulls sounded the "red alert" across the United States with these words.

And now, Su Wan used this familiar line to sound the "red alert" for the entire Indiana.

Cheers were already resounding throughout the Conseco Fieldhouse, and now the atmosphere seemed to be about to explode.

Barkley looked at Su Wan and shook his head slightly:

This kid has done it again!

He knew that Su Wan would make some noise after his return, but he didn't expect...

Su Wan actually used this sentence to show off!

How courageous!
Aren’t you afraid that Jordan will have an opinion?
I don’t know if Jordan had any objections, but the atmosphere at the scene was completely heated up.

The restless atmosphere reminded Irene of the Pacers' home playoffs last year. Which opponent would not frown when they came?
She couldn't help but mutter:
Su Wan is back, and the defending champion is back too!

Ok?
what?
What did I say?
Oh my god, I actually came up with such a touching news headline.

Irene quickly wrote this down.

Of course, she used this sentence as the premise for tomorrow's report...

The Pacers played like the defending champions tonight!

The big screen on site showed the starting five for both sides.

The starting lineup of the Pacers after Suwan returned was: Tinsley at No. 1, Suwan at No. 2, Artest at No. 3, O'Neal Jr. at No. 4, and Foster at No. 5.

The Grizzlies' starting lineup is: Damon Stoudemire at No. 1, Eddie Jones at No. 2, Sean Battier at No. 3, Pau Gasol at No. 4, and Lorenzen White at No. 5.

Judging from the lineup, the Grizzlies don't actually have any particularly eye-catching players.

Anyway, if you let "Lord Beile" build the lineup, there is no way he can put the people in this lineup together.

However, the Grizzlies returned to the top eight in the Western Conference with such a lineup.

There must be something there.

Still the same:
Fast pace!
Damon Stoudemire, nicknamed "Flying Squirrel", won the "Best Rookie" award when he was on the Raptors with his fast-paced offense. But later when the Raptors had Vince Carter and McGrady, he was sent to the Trail Blazers.

In the past few years, Portland was known as the "Prison Team". There were a bunch of "bad elements" in the team and the "Big Brother" of the league. Damon, who could not command them, could only waste his peak period in positional warfare.

After joining the Grizzlies last season, he became the "engine" of the backcourt. Although his statistics are not very impressive, averaging only 11.7 points and 4.7 assists per game, the rhythm of the Grizzlies depends entirely on him and Pau Gasol.

In fact, Pau Gasol can be regarded as the prototype of the "space-type power forward". Except that his shooting range is not that far, he meets all the conditions of the "space-type power forward".

It was just the limitations of the times that made him focus on the basket when making offensive choices.

Suwan believes that O'Neal's goal is to become a version of Pau Gasol with enhanced physical fitness and second-chance offensive ability, but weakened skills and supporting ability under the basket.

Before Su Wan went on the court, he glanced at Artest and said, "Look, Ron, how the No. 2 position plays!"

O'Neal next to him also said: "Watch this, Ron, how Su Wan and I play pick-and-roll!"

"Why would I learn that? Do I need to play pick-and-roll?" Artest retorted.

O'Neal was very upset: "Why don't you dare to confront Su?"

Artest: "Don't talk bullshit. If I can't fight him, can't I fight you?"

During the jump ball, O'Neal Jr. actually took the initiative in the face of the long arms of the slim Pau Gasol.

Tinsley passed the ball to Suwan in the frontcourt.

One of the most satisfying games that Suwan played in the playoffs last season was the "5-point tragedy" against the Heat in Game 58 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

The person defending him at the time was Kobe's former big brother Eddie Jones.

It was a coincidence that he met this guy in the first game after his comeback.

“It seems that even God wants to see a great comeback show!”

Su Wan looked at Jones and muttered to himself, his voice not lowered, and Eddie Jones could hear it clearly.

Although he didn't know what it meant, his heart skipped a beat:
It's going to happen!

Most of the Pacers fans at the scene stood up voluntarily.

It was Suwan's first attack of the new season, and they felt they had to stand up and watch to show their respect for Suwan.

"Crack, snap, snap!"

The dribbling rhythm was neither fast nor slow, but every dribble weighed heavily on Eddie Jones' heart.

Su Wan glanced to the right and successfully tricked Jones' eyes into looking to the right as well. Then he started taking a step forward. His explosive power, which had improved significantly after hard training in the summer, made his first step even faster.

Eddie Jones subconsciously reached out to stop it, but it was too late.

The mid-range pull-up jump shot with an ability value of 80 points has reached the All-Star level. He has no pressure at all to make this kind of shot in a wide-open space.

Familiar jump shot action, not-so-familiar sense of stability.

Amid the cheers from the crowd, "Voice of the Pacers" Bobby Leonard screamed at the top of his lungs: "Agent 99 announced his return with his best mid-range shot. Now, his performance is about to officially begin..."
