Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 145 How many records did he miss!

God is the best at...

Barkley in the TNT studio also heard Bobby Leonard's roar and was about to say "bullshit". Everyone knows that mid-range shooting is Suwan's weakness, but thinking about Suwan's smooth movements just now...

Think about how Suwan gradually began to show stable mid-range shooting performance at the end of last season.

Is it difficult for him to reach the sky?

The Grizzlies fought back.

The "Flying Squirrel" used his speed to successfully break through Tinsley, and before he could stick to him again, he passed the ball to Jones on the wing. Jones took the ball, glanced at the basket and Suwan in front of him, and saw Pau Gasol coming to the high position out of the corner of his eye. Without any hesitation, he threw the ball into his hands.

The Grizzlies' offense is still in their familiar rhythm.

But the moment Pau Gasol got the ball, O'Neal Jr. followed closely behind him, and at the same time, Artest on the wing immediately gave up Sean Battier in front of him and quickly formed a double-team.

If there is any bright spot for the 1-5 Pacers.

That is the high double-team formed by the returning Artest and the successfully weight-reduced O'Neal, which can bring a huge sense of pressure to the opponent's inside line.

Those who don't have the ability to pass the ball when they receive the ball at this position will often be directly intercepted because they are in a hurry to pass the ball.

Artest is averaging 2.5 steals per game so far this season, and O'Neal is averaging 1.5 steals per game.

This shows the threat of their "high double-teaming".

It's just that the Pacers' current record is too bad, and not many teams have studied their style of play, so their reputation has not spread. But the tacit understanding between the two of them is getting better and better.

Unfortunately, they double-teamed Pau Gasol this time.

In terms of his ability to pass the ball after being double-teamed, he is one of the best in the league.

I caught a glimpse of Sean Battier in my peripheral vision, and he passed the ball between two people.

"Snapped!"

What was originally an extremely exquisite pass was cut off.

It’s Su Wan!
He successfully predicted Pau Gasol's passing route. --The double team formed by Artest and O'Neal left Gasol with few options.

The Pacers counterattack.

Eddie Jones couldn't keep up with Su Wan's speed at all. He chased all the way to the end, but was left further behind by Su Wan.

The "Flying Squirrel" returns to defense quickly, but with his height of less than 180cm, he can only try to steal the ball.

Since he failed to steal the ball, all he could do was watch Su Wan complete the "one-arm dunk".

4-0!

The Grizzlies head coach is Mike Fratello.

"Human Highlight Film" Wilkins commented on him like this: It is difficult for him to improve the overall strength of the team;
"Big Tree" Rollins said: The position that is more suitable for Mike than head coach is commentator, because his practical work is far inferior to his theory.

One sentence to describe:

NBA Ma Su.

At this moment, watching Su Wan easily score two goals in a row, his brain was racing with all kinds of crazy thoughts, but he finally came to his senses and looked at Damon dribbling the ball across half court. He chose to believe that these players could solve the current dilemma themselves.

I don’t know if the power of trust really worked.

After Battier missed the three-pointer, Lorenzen White at the fifth position picked up the "second rebound" and scored a goal.

For White, who only averaged 5.4 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, he exploded with "primeval power" in this round, and even Mike was stunned. He finally said the first sentence after the game started:

"Well done, Lorenzen, keep it up!"

Su Wan was not unfamiliar with this name.

It's not that White later became an NBA star, but that he became "Wu Dalang" after retiring.

His wife and her lover shot him to death and dumped his body in the forest. When it was found, it had been half eaten by wild beasts.

This is a tragic story.

Su Wan really wanted to tell him, but how should he tell him about this kind of thing?

Hey, man, you gotta watch out for your wife?

Then he would probably be considered a "lunatic"!

The Grizzlies completed their attack and Mike's brows relaxed a lot, but he soon realized that the Grizzlies could not turn the unfavorable situation around by scoring goals.

Rather than scoring goals, they need to limit Suwan.

Eddie Jones couldn't even restrict the team, let alone interfere with them.

After not seeing each other for 5 months, Su Wan's physical fitness has improved, but his condition has further declined.

Now Eddie Jones relies entirely on his three-point shooting to make a living in these fast-paced teams, and his previous defense is completely gone.

This is also the real reason why the Grizzlies were always swept out 0-4 every time even though they made it to the playoffs.

You can make it to the playoffs by relying on offense, but without defense, it would be a waste of time to make it to the playoffs.

At 7 minutes and 45 seconds in the first quarter, Suwan broke through and made a layup, and scored the ball under the basket against Pau Gasol.

The referee blew the whistle at the same time.

Su Wan was stunned for a moment, then looked at the referee, who looked familiar. He cursed, "Don't blow the whistle, I don't want anyone to say I'm untouchable!"

referee:? ? ?
No, I blew a whistle for you, and you’re still not happy?
He was none other than one of the referees on duty for the "Conseco incident" that day. After seeing Suwan's appeal in Indiana, he felt that Suwan's influence could allow him to enjoy some whistles in his own home court.

But what he didn't expect was that this guy not only didn't appreciate it, but also scolded him.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. The referee directly gave Su Wan a "technical foul".

Su Wan was happy.

Looking at the technical fouls in the NBA, the technical foul Suwan received was only surpassed by Tim Duncan, who was sitting on the bench with a smile on his face, right?
Rick Carlisle was also happy after learning the details.

There were boos at the scene.

Damon Stoudemire, the Grizzlies' top free throw shooter, took a "technical free throw."

During the game, Mike chose to make a substitution, replacing Eddie Jones with Dengtai Jones.

Dengtai Jones is also a member of the "03 generation". The two things Su Wan is most familiar with about him are that he once dunked over Yao Ming's head, which shows his physical fitness.

Another thing is that he tripped Kobe.

According to him, it was Kobe who elbowed him in the throat first and he was just fighting back.

Regardless of the facts, it can be seen from this that Dengtai Jones is definitely not the kind of person who will swallow his anger when faced with provocation.

He dared to touch Kobe, so how could he endure it even for Su Wan?
Su Wan was waiting for him to buff him, so he shouted to Mike, "Don't let this guy who is still on a child labor contract come to defend me. Let the guy who got a 5 million contract come."

The 5 million contract refers to Sean Battier.

To be precise, his contract this year should be 490 million.

In this era where the salary cap is only $4950 million, a $500 million contract is considered a middle-class contract. Generally, only above-average players in the league can get such a contract.

Dengtay Jones was furious: "Do you think it's amazing to win the Finals MVP in a fight? Damn it, don't think everyone is afraid of you! I'll make you shut your stinky mouth!"

Very good, Dahntay Jones's "trash talk" is unexpectedly good.

But he obviously didn't know what he would face for this "trash talk".

Pau Gasol served the ball from the backcourt and followed Damon to the frontcourt. As he walked towards the inside, he set a screen for the "Flying Squirrel".

Suwan pretended to assist in defense from the side, and Damon was fooled and passed the ball to Dengtai Jones.

Dengtai Jones mainly relies on defense to gain a foothold. In the 08-09 season, he played a certain role in limiting Kobe Bryant and became famous as another "Kobe Terminator". On the offensive end, he mainly relied on his physical fitness to score in the air, and later he had a three-point shot that was sometimes available.

He had the ball in his hands, but Suwan didn't give him the chance to find his teammates. He took the initiative to engage in physical confrontation and kept using his chest to push Dengtai Jones to force him to dribble.

Jones had no choice but to lean against Suwan and wait for his teammates to pick him up. But before his teammates came, Artest quietly came over and poked the ball away with the reminder of the Grizzlies players.

Su Wan cooperated perfectly, grabbed the ball and went straight down.

Jones, who has always been proud of his physical fitness, chased all the way from behind.

Su Wan pretended that there was no such person. He held the ball with both hands, turned in the air, and completed a "back dunk".

After landing, Su Wan bent down while returning to defense and made a "too small" gesture.

This caused the scene to howl again.

It was not just because Suwan's celebration was so handsome, but also because this shot gave the Pacers a 10-point lead.

What is this concept?
Let’s put it this way…

In the past six games, let alone the first quarter, they never led by 6 points even at halftime.

Just eight minutes into the first quarter after Suwan's return, the Pacers had already taken a double-digit lead.

And Su Wan...

It’s already 12 points!

The shooting percentage is an exaggerated 7 out of 5!
Barkley also reacted at this time and realized that he had made a huge mistake.

He only thought about the many problems the Pacers had exposed during their 1-5 run. But he ignored...

Sometimes, Su Wan doesn’t even need his teammates to perform well, he can handle the opponents by himself!

This kind of thing happened last season.

Why did Barkley subconsciously ignore it?
He began to think about this problem.

Kenny Smith said, "Now it seems that those media who said that Su Wan only knew how to indulge in the summer were obviously deliberately belittling him. They speculated about Su Wan's entire summer based on a picture. And now, Su Wan has slapped them in the face with less than one quarter's performance!"

Barkley then realized that he had been misled by the unscrupulous media. After reading the news, he thought that Suwan's condition also had some problems, and he needed to adjust his condition after being suspended for so long.

It turns out...

This summer he was not what the outside world said he was.

He has become stronger!

"OMG!" At 6 minutes and 45 seconds in the second quarter, Bobby Leonard shouted, holding his head with both hands, and his buttocks left the bench involuntarily, "What did I see, what did I see, Suwan knocked down Dengtai Jones and made a mid-range shot, OMG, this is too exaggerated!"

While explaining, he glanced at the big screen on the scene, waiting for the first-hand replay.

Such a scene is worth replaying a thousand times.

"beep!"

The referee called a timeout at this time, and it was Mike who called it.

His last glimmer of hope for Dahntay Jones completely disappeared after this goal.

We have to change people.

Su Wan watched Jones, who stood up in a panic, pass by him, but he didn't dare to look him in the eye: "Where is your trash talk, Deng Tai? Why don't you dare look at me? I still like your unruly look!"

To be honest, Jones really wanted to beat Suwan.

But this is Conseco Arena, and Popovich was sent to the ICU because he threatened Suwan.

He has threatened Su Wan like this, if he dares to fight Su Wan...

God knows if we can leave Indiana alive.

Also, the cost of committing this kind of foul is too high now.

In order to make everyone play calmly, David Stern increased the severity of the suspension and fines for fighting.

Such a loss is not something a player on a "child labor contract" can bear.

Shane Battier stood in front of Suwan after the timeout.

Su Wan glanced at Dengtay Jones behind Battier and said, "You should be thankful that this season is not your contract year! And Mike..."

He looked at the Grizzlies coach on the sidelines again: "It's useless to change this 5 million now. No one can stop me now!"

"Bah!"

After a series of cross steps, Su Wan suddenly exerted force on his feet and leaped out with his whole body.

Battier, who had just witnessed Suwan knock down Dengtay Jones, didn't dare to make any extra movements when facing Suwan's shaking, so when Suwan made a breakthrough, he stayed where he was like a wooden chicken.

The sound of dunks echoed throughout Conseco Fieldhouse.

When Suwan returned to defense, he actually imitated Vince Carter and made an "over" move.

The difference is that "UFO" was in the "Slam Dunk Contest" while he was in the regular season.

The excited Indiana began to twist his body.

This is the Pacers team they remember from last season.

Everything is back!

The Grizzlies' momentum was suppressed, and they began to expose the problem of unified fast-paced offense:

When the wind is against you, no one can stand up and the situation can easily become chaotic.

At the end of the first half, the Pacers' lead reached more than 20 points, and Suwan scored 28 points alone.

Barkley excitedly asked, "Isn't he going to score 50 points in his first game back?"

Kenny Smith glanced at him. In their third year as partners, he began to feel that Barkley's mouth had a kind of magic. In short:
When he anticipated something bad was going to happen on the court, he was always right.

Just when he anticipates something eye-popping on the court, things tend to take a turn for the worse.

He could also see that Suwan was in very good shape tonight. It would not be a big problem for him to continue scoring 50 points and become the first player to score 1986 points in his first game of the new season since Michael Jordan in the 1987-50 season.

But after Barkley said this, he knew that Suwan would definitely not get it.

Although he didn't know what would prevent Su Wan from scoring 50 points, he was so sure of it.

Barkley’s mouth is really poisonous!
Soon, Kenny Smith witnessed this again.

At the beginning of the second half, Su Wan continued his hot form and his score quickly broke 30 points. After half a quarter, his score reached 40 points.

But at this time, the Memphis Grizzlies were trailing by more than 30 points.

Seeing that the Grizzlies' main players would only be beaten unilaterally if they stayed on the court, Mike decisively replaced all the main players.

According to the rules of the game, the Pacers also had to replace all their main players.

"With only a 6-point difference, he shouldn't leave the court so soon, right?" Barkley watched the Pacers' substitutions one minute later and suddenly became anxious because he saw Suwan also walking off the court. "Suwan finally left the court. He really left the court. I admire him very much, but if he keeps doing this, how many records will he miss!"

Kenny Smith snorted in his heart:
Isn't it your mouth?
In the end, Suwan did not play again. His statistics in this game were fixed at 44 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Pacers also ended the night's game with a 27-point victory.

The host on the sidelines interviewed Su Wan: "Don't you know that if you score another 6 points, you will become another player after Michael Jordan to score 50 points in his debut in the new season?"

Su Wan: "I know."

"Then why did you go down?"

"Because the game came to 'garbage time'."

"But this is a chance to be on par with Michael Jordan. How rare is that?"

After a moment of silence, Su Wan asked again: "Why should I compete with him?"
