Chapter 206: The Birth of the Indiana Dynasty

Chapter 206: The Birth of the Indiana Dynasty
The buzzer sounded, and the stats of all Lakers players were frozen:
科比23投7中,三分球5投1中,罚球6罚5中,以30%左右的命中率砍下了20分,此外还有5个篮板跟4个助攻以及4次失误。

This is a bad game.

It was also Kobe's worst performance in the finals.

姚明12投6中,罚球5罚5中,拿到了17分,此外还有9个篮板2次助攻以及2个盖帽,3次失误。

The hit rate looks okay.

However, there are many ways to limit the defense in the interior.

One of them is to limit his shots.

Yao Ming only got 12 shooting opportunities in this game.

As the team's second in command, this kind of output alone is definitely not enough.

If Yao Ming made 12 of 8 shots in this game, then even if he took few shots, he could still be said to be in excellent form.

With a hit rate of 12% in 50 shots, the output plus efficiency value can only be considered average.

Of course, even so, they are still the two best performers on the Lakers.

The stats for other players were even worse.

The Lakers' defeat was due to Kobe's poor condition and the fact that when the two core players of the Lakers were double-teamed, the other players of the Lakers failed to respond at all. Otherwise, the Pacers would not have double-teamed Kobe and Yao Ming so recklessly.

On the Pacers side, at the end of the first half, everyone's stats were mediocre, with only Suwan's stats being outstanding. But in the second half, the Lakers gradually collapsed under the Pacers' defense, and the defense drove the offense, and everyone was in trouble:
Suwan finally scored 36 points in the game, and he achieved this data in 31 minutes and 23 seconds, which was an extremely outstanding performance.

O'Neal Jr. also scored 20 points and 11 rebounds in this game, which is the second time he has scored more than 20 points since the finals.

Since Rick Carlisle decided that he would be responsible for defending double-teams for Foster, a large part of his energy has shifted from the offensive end to the defensive end.

This is also the biggest difference between O'Neal and Stoudemire:

His professionalism is much higher than that of Stoudemire, who also debuted as a high school student, and he is willing to obey the arrangements of the head coach.

Stoudemire prefers to put all his energy on offense rather than defense.

Artest scored 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, which were "Rookie James" stats.

The others were equally full.

Except Tinsley…

He only got 11 minutes of playing time in this game, and most of it was in "garbage time". It should have been a good opportunity for him to brush up his stats, but "you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry", the more anxious you are, the harder it is to unbutton the back of your milk cap, and he ended up making 5 of 1 shots during this period.

Otherwise, the Pacers could have won this game by at least 40 points.

After chasing two games in a row, the Lakers suddenly suffered a setback. Everyone was stunned. Only Kobe, who was sitting on the bench, looked at the score at the moment the buzzer sounded, as if he wanted to imprint this score in his mind forever.

Everyone could see that his eyes were filled with the flames of revenge.

Bill Walton also saw his look and couldn't help but sigh: "Kobe really wants to win back in the next game. He is the kind of player with a strong sense of revenge. Such players tend to be more successful, but..."

It’s very difficult!

The strength of the Pacers this season lies in the fact that their offensive system is so mature, and their defensive system is almost the best in the league... This enables the Pacers to have the ability to win games on offense and the capital to win on defense.

They are a team that is extremely good at seizing opportunities.

Specifically, once they detect a weakness, they will bite it without hesitation until they completely devour the enemy.

This game completely exposed the problem that the Lakers have Kobe and Yao Ming, but only Kobe and Yao Ming.

In the next game, the Pacers will definitely continue to stick to the defensive tactics they used tonight and make it even better. The 39-point difference is not a score that can be made up by better performance of role players.

This requires Kobe to play in his previous state, Yao Ming to have more shooting opportunities, role players to start to explode, and the overall defense to make the Pacers feel more pressure...

Ok……

This is actually no different from changing a team.

Even if Bill Walton believes that the Lakers can play better than tonight in the next game, it will definitely not be such a big change.

Phil Jackson also said in an interview after the game: "Kobe and Yao took on most of the responsibility. When they were restricted, it was difficult for other Lakers players to give them enough help. This is the reason (for the Lakers' defeat)!"

"I'm still quite curious, what is the excuse of the Los Angeles media this time!" Suwan was interviewed after the game. As petty as ever, he directly cueed the Los Angeles media who had previously criticized him for pushing Kobe before his "game-winning shot".

The next morning, the Los Angeles media responded:

Everyone is silent!

Not only them, after this big victory, the media who had previously believed that the Lakers could win three games in a row and go to Indiana with a big score of 3 to 3 also automatically muted themselves.

All the remaining media were already celebrating the Pacers' completion of their "three consecutive championships" and the establishment of a new dynasty.

Four words to describe:

Unstoppable!

Su Wan himself is also very confident.

Are you kidding? The score difference is 39 points. The next game will be against the Indiana Pacers. It’s the right time, the right place, and the right people. What else is there to say?

Just today!

Just today!

In order to leave no room for retreat, Su Wan said directly before the sixth game of the series: "The Lakers are already very strong. This is the first time we have played to the sixth game in the finals!"

"But it's time to end. There's never a Game 7 in the Pacers' Finals!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Pacers team immediately turned into howling iron wolves.

It's not just the Pacers players, the fans as well.

The noise level in the entire Conseco Fieldhouse did not drop below 130 decibels tonight, and everyone was very excited since before the game.

Just kidding, after winning this game, the Pacers can establish a dynasty!
What is this concept?
Let me put it this way, excluding the oldest Boston Celtics, in modern basketball history, only the Bulls and the Lakers have had "dynasties", and among other teams in the league, only the Rockets have won "back-to-back" championships.

Well, the move to fire “Dynasty” was certainly not the right one.

Even so, if the Pacers win tonight, they will become the fourth team in NBA history to create a dynasty.

Since joining the NBA in the 70s, the Pacers have never reached such heights.

This is also the reason...

The audience seats tonight were star-studded.

Pacers owners Melvin Simon and Herbert Simon were both in the courtside audience tonight, rather than their preferred VIP rooms.

Tonight they wanted to experience it all up close.

In addition, Sharapova also came to the scene to watch Suwan win her "three consecutive championships".

It is already June this year. She has just finished the Australian Open, Miami Open and French Open, but failed to win any titles. Her best result was the runner-up in the Australian Open.

She really didn't expect that Su Wan could still maintain his strength, "riding and slashing" all the way, and was about to win the third championship trophy of his career.

This is too...

Just like him in bed, not a human being!
On the Lakers' bench, Vujacic soon saw Sharapova.

He was a little shocked.

He knew that Sharapova had come to watch Sowan's match last time, but after that, the two of them just said hello on the sidelines and had no other interactions. There was no gossip afterwards. He thought it was a coincidence.

But now, Sharapova appeared on the sidelines again, and he couldn't help but suspect that she came here specifically for Su Wan.

He was not the only one who had such a guess. The domestic commentary team also noticed this scene. Zhang Weiping laughed and said, "This is not the first time that Sharapova has come to watch the match!"

Several other middle-aged men also started laughing, with expressions that showed they understood immediately.

When Su Wan entered the court, he passed by Sharapova, raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled, greeted her generously, and stretched out his hand to high-five her.

This action immediately caused the cameras on the scene to click and the flashlights to flash non-stop.

The "golden boy and jade girl" in the sports world are so attractive!
That high-five alone was enough for them to write 347 stories that Sowan and Sharapova had to tell.

In addition, Reggie Miller did not provide commentary today, but came to the scene specifically to witness the team win the "three consecutive championships".

When he first retired, he really didn't expect the Pacers to make it this far.

It's not that he looks down on Su Wan, but...

OK!
After all, there are countless NBA geniuses, but there are only two people in modern times who have led their teams to three consecutive championships, one is Michael Jordan and the other is Shaquille O'Neal.

Su Wan is a monster, but he is still young after all.

I didn't expect that...

Su Wan was even more evil than he thought.

This "three consecutive championships" is about to be completed.

He had to admit: "Dude, you will definitely be the No. 1 in the history of the Pacers!"

Su Wan smiled and said, "Hasn't it been a long time ago?"

The two then hugged each other, and the reporters at the scene once again captured the scene.

As time goes by, there has never been a more successful bond than the one between Suwan and Reggie Miller.

Even the legacy between Tim Duncan and David Robinson in San Antonio...

In comparison, it is somewhat inferior.

After all, this Pacers team is so successful!
Kobe's face has been stinking since he entered Conseco.

And after all the Pacers entered the arena, his face became even more outrageous.

What's with this damn celebratory atmosphere?

Do these Indiana players think they have won the NBA championship?

There is still one game left to play!

Do you really think you can win this game tonight?

Damn!

Damn!

Damn!

What Kobe hates most is being looked down upon.

At this moment, he was almost burned with anger.

In fact, Pacers fans are still a little afraid of him.

only……

Suwan said it, there is no Game 7 for the Pacers.

Of course they believed it.

Just kidding, the Pacers are almost able to regain the glory of the ABA era, let alone defeat Cricket Kobe.

Isn't that something that can be easily controlled?
The game will soon begin, a battle that will determine the fate of the Pacers.

The cheers from the audience were loud from the beginning.

The Pacers used the same defensive style in this game, putting enough pressure on Yao Ming in the interior and Kobe Bryant on the outside from the very beginning.

The Lakers...

There is no obvious change!
Bill Walton could feel that the Lakers should have made more detailed adjustments, but as long as the Lakers' overall idea was still to rely on Yao Ming in the early stage and Kobe in the later stage, the Pacers' defense would be equivalent to firmly grasping their "7 inches".

The Lakers' role players were in better shape tonight compared to the previous game.

So in the first quarter, the Pacers failed to quickly build a 10-point lead like they did in the previous game.

However, Rick Carlisle did not give up this defensive approach just because the Lakers' role players scored more goals.

If you, the Lakers, have the guts, use Odom and Fisher to beat us!

It turns out...

I really don’t have that ability!

Both players performed well in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, they struggled.

This is the norm for role players.

If role players can consistently perform in a game, they wouldn't get such a small salary.

Of course, there will also be X factors among role players.

But to become the X-factor, he must be a player who thrives in the offensive and defensive systems.

If they are restrained, let alone the "X factor", it would be good enough if they can maintain their performance in the regular season.

Just like in the previous game, Su Wan started to exert his strength in the second quarter.

And this time he called for pick-and-rolls frequently, constantly playing one-on-one against Fisher.

The effect was so obvious that Kobe began to become impatient and the "Iron-Headed Wolf" reappeared on the court.

At the end of the first half, the Pacers basically controlled the situation.

Then there was another piece of bad news for the Lakers:
Yao Ming was exhausted in several games. He was not very active in the first half of this game. In the second half, he was exhausted due to physical problems. Kobe was completely unable to carry the team alone.

Facing the Pacers' heavy blockade, he also struggled more and more.

With 3 minutes left in the fourth quarter, the score difference once again reached 20 points.

The trend is over!

A dynasty will be established!

The cheers from the entire stadium flooded the entire arena at this moment.

All the Pacers fans at the scene stood up. They could no longer sit quietly and wait for the final whistle to blow.

Including the Simon brothers, they also supported each other and stood up.

The excitement was palpable.

Donnie Walsh and Larry Bird were standing at the entrance of the home team's player tunnel. As time passed, Walsh suddenly turned to Larry Bird and said, "Congratulations, Larry. You made a deal that will go down in NBA history. It will not be forgotten even fifty years later!"

Using two first-round picks and a second-round pick to trade for a new player was undoubtedly a crazy decision. However, the crazy decision brought about an even crazier result...

Suwan's arrival allowed this city to quickly win the "three consecutive championships" after the Palace of Auburn Hills incident, becoming the fourth team in NBA history to create a dynasty.

No matter which angle you look at this deal, it's amazing.

Larry Bird just smiled slightly in response to Donnie Walsh's words, and looked calmly at the close-up shot of Su Wan on the big screen.

It's just a spontaneous transaction!
just so so!

Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning!
In the last minute, Phil Jackson had already replaced Kobe and Yao Ming, but Rick Carlisle did not replace Suwan immediately.

Obviously at this time, Suwan would be more suitable to stand on the court and receive the cheers of all Indiana people.

It was also at this time that the fans at the scene went crazy and began to scream Su Wan's name at the top of their lungs.

It would be fine if it was just some male fans, but all the female fans at the scene were shouting like that.

Suddenly it felt like thousands of Sharapova were playing together.

Su Wan raised his hands high in response to the cheers from the crowd, and then...

"beep!"

The buzzer sounded, and the historic moment arrived amid the cheers of the audience.

The fourth NBA dynasty was born, and no one expected it:

Indiana Pacers!

"Let us congratulate the Pacers for becoming the fourth team in NBA history to win three consecutive championships. At this moment, the world is focusing on Indiana!" Bill Walton said with a hint of envy in his eyes.

Not only him, any basketball player would look envious at this moment.

Who doesn’t want to be part of a “three-peat” dynasty?

Even if you participate in it as a "water cooler player", it is a very meaningful thing.

That’s why there are so many Batters in this world.

Ok……

Ok!

It is rare to find someone as arrogant as Battelle.

The envy in Barkley's eyes is even more...

Beyond words!
In fact, stars like Barkley who have won the regular season MVP are more eager for the championship than ordinary players.

After all, this is not only a recognition of his personal strength, but also a recognition of his ability to lead a team!

Which regular season MVP likes to be called the “uncrowned king”?

They would rather be like Su Wan and become the most dazzling presence under the spotlight of the finals.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is “the dream of millions of basketball boys”!
"Let us congratulate Su Wan for becoming the first Chinese player to lead a team to win three consecutive NBA championships. He is truly a god sent to the Chinese basketball world!" Yang Yi in the studio quickly showed off the new words he had just learned on the Internet.

At this time, Suwan had been surrounded by other members of the Pacers. A group of people lifted him up and threw him into the air four or five times in a row, until the cheers from the whole audience almost overturned the ceiling.

They finally remembered that the "losers" of the Lakers were still waiting to shake hands with them.

"Congratulations, Brother Su!" Yao Ming is almost used to calling him "Brother Su".

When Su Wan shook hands with him, he said, "Don't be discouraged, Brother Yao, the future is yours!"

"???" Yao Ming snorted and laughed when he heard this unexpectedly, his expression quite speechless.

Kobe's face was very sour, but he didn't leave immediately. Instead, he waited to hug Su Wan.

"Enjoy it, this is the last time you can beat us in the finals!"

Ok……

The main reason for not leaving is to make harsh remarks.

Su Wan was a little confused: "Why? Is this your last time in the finals?"

"..."

Kobe suddenly felt that he needed to recall whether he had never won an argument with Su Wan.

"Don't lose heart, Kobe, the future is yours too!" Su Wan's main theme is "treat everyone equally."

"..."

screw you!
The defense is broken, family members!
Kobe looked even worse than before.

He decided to buy a Suwan jersey.

Then Su Wan walked to the audience seats on the sidelines, took off his jersey and threw it towards the audience who were still shouting.

There were exclamations at the scene.

Before they could exclaim, Sharapova had already covered her mouth and exclaimed.

Su Wan was standing right in front of her.

As Su Wan took off his shirt, his eight-pack abs immediately came into view.

This scene is even more bizarre than Biju.

Even Sharapova, who has seen the world, subconsciously covered her mouth.

Otherwise I really can't help it...

She wanted to say:
Young man, you are playing with fire, do you know that?

And this scene happened to fall into Vujacic's eyes.

Seeing Sharapova covering her face but with eyes shining, and looking so indescribably coquettish... uh, charming, he felt like he was going to collapse.

What kind of "committing crime in front of the husband" plot is this!
Artest also wanted to imitate Suwan and throw his jersey to the bench, but he heard O'Neal next to him say: "You are throwing out 5 US dollars, Ron..."

With just one sentence, the "Beast" instantly woke up, holding the clothes he had taken off tightly in his hands. Looking at the expectant fans, he turned to the staff and said, "Where's my championship T-shirt? Why don't you bring it to me?"

His piece is worth 5 US dollars, and Su Wan's piece is more valuable. If it were put up for auction, it would be worth at least 20 US dollars.

Are you kidding? This is the jersey worn during the three-peat. It’s not a question of whether it’s limited or not, but…

There is only one of this kind, it can never be duplicated!
Su Wan also knew this, but he threw it away anyway.

It feels really good to spend a lot of money...

In fact, not only this jersey, but also the ball used in this game has such value.

However, Su Wan can decide on the jersey, but he cannot decide on the match ball. After throwing away the jersey, Su Wan also noticed the various styles in Sharapova's eyes...

Only then did he realize that he had just taken off his clothes in front of her.

But it's not the first time.

He even moved closer, pretending to sign autographs for the fans behind Sharapova.

Sharapova is completely dizzy now...

No problem, fuck him!

What she didn't know was that a group of female fans behind her also noticed that she was "sticking" to Su Wan's abdominal muscles, and the anger in her eyes was about to burn the entire Conseco Arena:

Let go of my giegie, let me come!

Su Wan's perfect figure also feasted their eyes.

It feels good, it feels good, this time it really feels good!
Soon the staff handed the championship T-shirt to Su Wan.

The moment they saw Su Wan put the T-shirt over his head, they suddenly had an urge to strangle the staff member to death.

The Simon brothers were also waiting on the sidelines to high-five Su Wan.

After waiting for a long time, it was finally their turn.

Melvin Simon's eyes were a little red with excitement. It was his idea to buy the Pacers. In the beginning, he had been the operator of the team. As he got older and had less energy, he slowly transferred the team to his younger brother.

He never imagined that the Pacers would one day become a team that won three consecutive championships!

He held Su Wan's hand and said very solemnly: "Su Wan, the whole of Indiana will be grateful to you forever!"

The next step is the awarding of trophies.

Before Su Wan walked towards the team, he was about to pull Reggie Miller from the sidelines to the center of the court. Reggie Miller waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Su, this is your honor, and this moment should belong to you!"

Artest and O'Neal Jr. noticed this scene, looked at each other, and walked over decisively, trying to forcibly bring Reggie Miller to the center of the court, but Suwan stopped them and pointed to the microphone not far away towards Irene.

Irene understood what he meant and quickly ran to hand the microphone to Su Wan.

Then he walked to the side, his eyes full of excitement.

She was very clear about how her popularity would be enhanced in just a few seconds, from the moment when Su Wan asked her to take the microphone to the moment when she handed the microphone to Su Wan, when the whole world was paying attention to her.

For a career mentor like this, just offering your body to him is not enough...

But, she hasn't even given up her body yet.

"Let us welcome the eternal captain Reggie Miller!" His loud shout also made the fans in the stadium shout Reggie Miller's name together.

Reggie Miller would reject Suwan's kindness, but he would never reject the enthusiasm of the Indiana people.

His whole life has been tied to Indiana.

Barkley said: "This is the charm of Su Wan!"

Although Su Wan appears strong in external ways, he always makes such heartwarming gestures.

David Stern and the O'Brien Trophy were actually ready to go out, but after noticing the commotion on the sidelines, he immediately stopped the staff who wanted to push the O'Brien Trophy out.

Such heartwarming moments deserve more exposure.

He has always believed that if the NBA wants to have depth, such humanistic feelings are absolutely indispensable.

Especially when someone like Su Wan does this kind of thing, it will make the matter itself more hotly discussed and more attractive.

As Reggie Miller took the court, the staff also found him a championship T-shirt.

To say Reggie Miller didn't want to cry would be a lie.

He really didn't expect that God would let him meet such good teammates in the last year of his career.

I shouldn’t have retired if I had known!

Then the O'Brien Cup officially debuted.

This is not the first time Indiana has seen the O'Brien Trophy, and they have been the owners of the O'Brien Trophy for the past three years.

But at this moment, the cheers from the audience were louder than any previous year, and the cheers from the entire Conseco Fieldhouse resounded throughout Indiana.

David Stern looked at Su Wan, who was the center of attention, with indescribable satisfaction in his eyes.

It's not just the warm moment just now.

Any idea what the live viewership was for the final few minutes of this game?

3300 million!
Although the Pacers defeated the Lakers by 39 points in Game of the Finals, the suspense of the championship plummeted.

However, for the entire series, the average real-time viewing number per game was as high as 2900 million.

At its peak, the average number of viewers per game exceeded 3100 million!
Such data may mean nothing to the football league, but it is an exciting number for the NBA.

in particular……

this moment!
The Pacers officially became the fourth team in NBA history to establish a dynasty, with the number of viewers reaching 3300 million!
This number of viewers is enough to make this year's finals a classic.

What's more, this round of finals did have some classic moments that ignited the entire United States. Suwan's "god shot" was the key to the surge in ratings for the subsequent finals.

Of course, Kobe's subsequent strong rebound with the Lakers was also the key to making the show more interesting...

Any player who can increase ratings and boost NBA popularity is a good player.

In David Stern's eyes, Suwan is now in the shape of ratings and even more so in the shape of US dollars.

How could David Stern not laugh when he saw these two things?
Suwan also noticed that David Stern's smile seemed more friendly than before. Surrounded by the entire team, he moved towards the O'Brien Cup, and then invited Reggie Miller to lift the third consecutive championship trophy together, symbolizing the Indiana dynasty.

At this point, not only was the Pacers dynasty established, but Suwan also became the player with the most championship MVPs in the league.

As for championship trophies, the active player with the most is Robert Horry.

He won two consecutive championships with the Rockets and three consecutive championships with the Lakers. He has a total of five championship rings.

Behind him are the three championship trophies of Suwan, Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe.

Of course, from the perspective of honor, Suwan also has two regular season MVP trophies.

If all these major honors are counted, Su Wan is already the number one player in the league.

Kenny Smith also noticed this: "Suwan now has 3 Finals MVPs, 3 O'Brien Cups, and 2 regular season MVPs. Charles, do you think he is the best player in the league now?"

Barkley said: "From the perspective of honor, he already is, but from a personal perspective... he should also be considered!"

He wanted to say that given the same position, Kobe's personal ability was definitely above Suwan's, but then he thought that Kobe did not completely suppress Suwan.

而且最终总决赛6场比赛打完,科比的场均数据为34.5分6.5篮板4.5助攻2抢断,跟苏万的场均33.5分7篮板2.5助攻2.5抢断1.5盖帽其实也在伯仲之间。

All we can say is that Kobe is a little stronger than Suwan, but not so obvious that he can squeeze Suwan behind him.

There is also Wade, whose strength is evenly matched with Su Wan.

Since they can't suppress Su Wan...

There is nothing wrong with saying that Su Wan is the "first person".

The most important thing is that the honors Su Wan accumulated in the first three years of his career were too hard.

Wade is strong enough, but no one thinks of him as the best.

As for Kobe...

He is now three Finals MVPs and two regular season MVPs behind Suwan.
