Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 169 Regular Season MVP Competition
Su Wan's claim about Kobe is well-founded.

The other players on the Pacers were also in a slump at one point tonight.

In addition, Michael Redd and Bobby Simmons really played like the "double shooters" of the Supersonics tonight.

This situation is very similar to the Lakers vs. Raptors.

Reed finished with 31 points and Bob Simmons added 18 points.

The two of them together are enough for 49 points.

But the team lost by 21 points.

Especially in the most crucial second half of the third quarter and the first half of the fourth quarter, when they were needed to score, no one could stand up, allowing the Pacers to go on a run.

Suwan used 50 points to make this "wave", while Kobe used at least 70 points.

The difference is obvious indeed.

Of course, Suwan did not belittle the 81 points. He still acknowledged it in his heart. But in the first game in March, their opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers. With such an opportunity, he certainly has to change Kobe's mentality.

Irene informed Suwan of Bogut's post-game remarks, and Suwan snorted with disdain: "We can talk about this when he has the courage to speak in front of me."

He has no interest in "Youbo" anymore.

I had been hoping that he would do something dirty, beat this guy up, and send him straight to the hospital.

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a coward.

He doesn't even dare to fart in front of you, but always talks behind your back.

If you continue to pay attention to this kind of person, you are giving him a shot.

Moreover, Bogut is probably the only person in the league who thinks he blows the whistle too many times.

After all, this was a "god" who immediately criticized the referee after receiving a "body hair whistle", resulting in a technical foul.

This story has spread around the league, and some reporters have come to his defense. No, they should have been harshly mocking Bogut.

Erin also mentioned one thing: "All of Milwaukee seems to be afraid of you!"

Su Wan also felt this. Whether it was the fans of the Bucks or their head coach, they had only two words for him:

fear.

But he thought about it and felt it was normal: "I should also have such influence!"

Being able to convince the fans of the opponent is a basic quality that a "superstar" should possess.

Su Wan’s only doubt was that he didn’t seem to have done anything big in the game against the Bucks, so how did he manage to defeat them?

Certainly, his performance tonight should leave a lasting impression in the minds of Bucks fans.

The next day, reports of Suwan scoring 53 points began to fly everywhere.

Especially after Irene's report came out, it caused heated discussions outside:

"I knew I would score 50 points against the Bucks. Suwan: That's the only role that Australian kangaroo plays!"

After this report came out, Bogut, who was still complaining about Suwan relying on the referee, suddenly became a clown.

"(Provoking league stars) This is the way newcomers get exposure. Many newcomers do this. This is also the rule of survival in the league. But after being educated, you must know how to shut up!"

"I watched the whole game. Andrew, you don't even dare to look Su Wan in the eye. You are a wimp!"

"Australia's top student is making Australia a laughing stock!"

……

As Suwan expected, various media people began to attack Bogut.

They like to watch the newcomers challenge the old players in the league, which is very interesting.

But they really hate newcomers like Bogut.

He boasted a lot before the game, but during the game, he didn't perform at all impressively. He was taught a lesson, and after the game he was still saying some inexplicable weird things.

Do you really want me to show you the highlights of your fouls against Su Wan in yesterday's game?

Look at how helpless you look when you commit a foul!
Barkley also criticized harshly: "Just stay still, Andrew, you chose the stupidest way to save face. Everyone knows how embarrassing you were last night!"

David Stern also stood up and fined Bogut a full $2.5 for arbitrarily commenting on the referee's decision.

Making fun of the referee, is this something a rookie like you can do?
When Su Wan arrived in Los Angeles, he also learned about this matter. He originally wanted to go on Facebook and say "It's a good punishment" and explain why it was a "good punishment". However, Su Wan remembered that he had previously said not to give this guy the screen, so he gave up the idea.

But then he learned that Dwyane Wade won the "February Player of the Month Award", and he still went on Facebook and posted a message to congratulate Wade:
You know, Dwyane has always been the best player of the "03 generation". He deserves this award and no one can stop him.

Finally, he did not forget to add "Wade County" to pay tribute to someone's relationship with Wade.

Wade quickly came to leave a message:

Thanks, bro!
The most eye-catching message from netizens is:
—Among the people who can’t be stopped, are you included, Sue?

Suwan is also a candidate for the "Eastern Conference Player of the Month" in February, and his statistics and team record are not inferior to those of the Heat.

苏万2月份场均31.4分6.4篮板3.4助攻1.8抢断1盖帽，步行者队11胜4负；
韦德2月份场均26.6分6.8篮板6.8助攻2抢断1.2盖帽，热火队12胜3负；
Indiana media analyzed that the reason why Suwan lost to Wade was mainly because the team's record was a little worse than last month. However, the Heat played their best "single-month record" this season.

And after this month, the Heat successfully climbed to the third place in the Eastern Conference.

Although the gap in wins between the Pacers and the Heat is huge.

But based on the current momentum, the Miami media believes that they are not worried about the playoff ranking: "The ones who should be worried are other teams. The Heat are now the strongest team in the league."

The Dallas media has begun preparing to set off fireworks to celebrate Dirk Nowitzki winning this year's regular season MVP in advance.

Because the Western Conference's "Player of the Month Award" in February still belongs to Dirk Nowitzki.

The "German Tank" became the first player this season to win the "Player of the Month" award for three consecutive months, and the Dallas media believed this was a hint.

A few months later, Suwan took the initiative to talk about the regular season MVP again: "This is not determined by the number of (Monthly Best Players). Everyone knows what should determine who the regular season MVP belongs to! I believe that when we meet Dallas, everyone will know who is the most qualified regular season MVP this year!"

These words directly triggered the final battle for the regular season MVP, and also made the Pacers' away game against the Mavericks on March 3 a game that attracted national attention.

David Stern seemed to agree with Suwan's words. He quietly adjusted the Mavericks' home game against the Pacers to be broadcast live across the United States.

When the media discovered this, they began to promote the game as the "regular season MVP battle."

But before that, the Pacers still have several key battles.

Not to mention other things, such as tonight's game against the Lakers.

The Lakers are still ranked 7th in the Western Conference, with a gap between them and the Pacers, who are ranked 2nd in the Eastern Conference.

But the duel between Suwan and Kobe is the focus of the focus.

In the last game, Suwan beat Michael Redd to the point of breaking his mentality and pounding the ground. In this game, facing Kobe, it was obvious that he could not hold out for a long time even if he was in his normal state. After the first half, Suwan scored 11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and a shooting percentage of 40%, while Kobe, under the rotation of Suwan and Artest, scored 17 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, and a shooting percentage of 50%. There was no other way, after all, this was Kobe, whose offensive ability had reached the highest level.

I can't accept it!

You have to open it!

"That's why you only got 53 points and I got 81!"

Kobe also took the opportunity to show his face.

then……

He was again restricted by the "Pacers Trident" led by Suwan.

The scores and shooting percentages of both players basically dropped in the second half.

苏万砍下18分4篮板1助攻，投篮命中率50%，而科比在重重围堵下，拿到了10分4篮板4助攻3失误，投篮命中率40%.
In the end, the two people's data were almost the same.

Anyway, from Su Wan's point of view, it was an absolute draw.

Ah!
Cou is so shameless.

If you want to get involved in gangsterism, can you do it without calling your brothers?
After this game, the "iron bucket formation" composed of Suwan, Artest and O'Neal Jr. once again shocked the entire league.

Given Kobe's form this season, few teams have been able to hold him to less than 30 points twice.

The Pacers did just that.

Kobe scored 17 points in the first half of the game, but finally scored only 27 points, 2 points less than Suwan.

But Rick Carlisle said rather pretentiously after the game: "I am very dissatisfied with Ron's recent defensive state. I hope he can adjust his state as soon as possible. I want to see the energetic Ron at the beginning of the season."

Paul Pierce couldn't help but curse, "Are you a devil? You have to let Artest adjust his condition at this time, right?"
The Pacers' next game will be against the Celtics!

Paul Pierce plays a standard "floor flow" style. With his huge butt and superb one-on-one skills, he can be said to be a rare rival on the wing.

The only thing he's afraid of is probably Ron Artest, a "beast" player whose weight and strength overwhelm him.

This is why the elderly Michael Jordan was able to control him so well.

It was ultimately proven that animals are most sensitive to their natural enemies.

Paul Pierce made Artest lose all his temper in defense, shooting 17 of 7. The team lost to the Pacers without any resistance.

Including the victory over the Bucks, the Pacers only have one game left to win against the Pistons after this three-game winning streak.

In the next game, their opponent is the Pistons whom they met in the opening game.

The battle for the top spot in the Eastern Conference!

This time the home court is in Detroit.

Rick Carlisle once again used a "small lineup" as the starting lineup to observe whether this lineup can exert enough dominance when facing the Pistons' "iron bucket formation".

Last season, Reggie Miller and Stephen Jackson's "small ball concept" was very effective.

I thought we could win this game easily.

But the result...

The Pacers lost to the Pistons again 91-96.

The "small lineup" was in poor form beyond the three-point line, making only 16 of 3 shots. Such a three-point shooting percentage naturally could not allow them to defeat a strong opponent like the Pistons.

Rick Carlisle has now found the root of the problem.

Although the Pacers have more three-pointers on the outside this season, in terms of stability and ability, Calderon, Dio and Artest combined this season are not as good as two fingers of Reggie Miller and Stephen Jackson.

The Pistons looked like an "iron formation", but their defensive style was "shrinking the basket but not completely letting go of the perimeter defense". Their aggressiveness in defense was very fierce, and with Calderon and his team's three-point stability, it was difficult for them to continuously make high-quality perimeter shots against such a strong defensive team.

When playing against the Pistons, it would be more appropriate to use the Pacers' regular season lineup, and then suddenly put out a "small lineup" at a certain time period to catch the opponent off guard.

In this way, the Pacers missed the opportunity to catch up with the Pistons in record.

But Rick Carlisle thinks it's worth it.

It's totally worth it to exchange a regular season game like this for playoff information.

Facing the Heat next, Rick Carlisle had the same idea and continued to use a small lineup.

In the game against the Heat in early February, Carlisle tried a "small lineup", but Calderon was restricted to a Muggle by Gary Payton, and the rhythm of the "small lineup" was always led by the opponent.

After the game, Carlisle went into the small dark room, and after careful consideration, he handed over the command of the outside line of this game to Dio.

The result was very good. The Pacers' "small lineup" played very well. Haslem's mobility became a bit clumsy after expanding to the three-point line. Dio really became a "magician" this time, making 5 assists in a single quarter. The American Airlines Arena had a "heavy rain" in advance to welcome the upcoming rainy season in Miami.

Carlisle was so happy.

This was exactly the effect he had expected from the “small lineup”.

The "invincibility" that the Miami media boasted about for a month and a half disappeared without a trace after this "heavy rain". They began to worry about what to do if they encountered "heavy rain" like the Pacers in the playoffs!
However, what comforted them was that the Pacers' "small lineup" was very unstable in shooting from beyond the three-point line.

They made a total of 17 three-pointers against the Heat, but when they went to the Denver Plateau for the next game, it instantly became 6 three-pointers in the game.

Although the "hand contact" rule has disappeared, the league's definition of "cylinder" and the standards for penalties for violations of shooting actions still encourage the principle of confrontation.

This makes it impossible for the "small ball" style of play to be truly demonstrated to the greatest extent in this league.

Rick Carlisle made sure of that again.

But this is still an "ace system"!
After many days of promotion, March 3th arrived as scheduled. Rick Carlisle, who had been experimenting with the "small lineup" during this period, decisively put out the Pacers' regular lineup.

joke!

This is the crucial battle for Su Wan to compete for the regular season MVP.

Even at this critical moment of preparing for the playoffs, this matter must make way.

Rick Carlisle said before the game: "It would be too boring if Suwan couldn't get the regular season MVP this season!"

By the way, the match against the Mavericks, plus some subsequent explanations, will probably require about 1 to 5 words to summarize at the end of the season. The plot may be a bit of a diary, with no explosive points, but it will take at most 2 days to enter the playoffs plot.

I also talked to the editor and found that the book’s performance is pretty good and it may be included in the bestseller selection. After all, it is the first recommendation after it was put on the shelves, and I also hope to get a better recommendation position.

Therefore, I hope that brothers who have the conditions but haven’t yet subscribed to the full version will support me by subscribing to the full version because of how hard I work on writing.

Of course, I'm talking about brothers with conditions.

More importantly, I hope to do what I can. I will be very grateful to the brothers who have only subscribed to one chapter.

To use Guo Degang's classic line, the country and the elders can tolerate me, so I won't make money by committing sins in the world. I am very grateful, there is nothing much to say, I kowtow to the parents who feed and clothe me, thank you all.
