Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 222 There is no such thing as honor in defeat. Losing is losing!

(A very interesting chapter!)

Rivers couldn't understand why no one was talking trash to Suwan, but he still got into that state.

Is it possible...

Does he have the ability to read minds?
Can you hear the trash talk in your opponent’s mind?
Well, it doesn’t really matter anymore, the situation is this:

Suwan opened "The zone". Even though the Celtics were leading by 13 points, it didn't mean they would definitely win the game tonight...

This is a ridiculous thing.

This was clearly a game where the Pacers were on the edge of a cliff.

Even though it was the last quarter, they were still trailing by 13 points.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "life hanging by a thread"...

But when Su Wan entered that state, Rivers' eyes inevitably showed some panic.

There is no way. The first game of the Eastern Conference Finals proved that once Suwan entered that state, the Celtics could not limit him at all!

If he wasn't so afraid, he wouldn't have called a timeout immediately when he saw Su Wan entering that "state".

If we can't defend him, we can only think of a way to attack from the offensive end...

Rivers looked at Pierce, Ray Allen, and Kevin Garnett, and said seriously: "Guys, think about why we got together. Now we are only one step away from entering the finals. Come on, guys, hold on to the 13-point difference, let us win this game and advance to the finals!"

"When they heard the word 'finals', whether it was Pierce, Kevin Garnett, or Ray Allen, their expressions changed slightly.

It was a trace of desire, a trace of thirst!
So far in their careers, even Paul Pierce, who entered the league the latest, has been in this league for 10 years, and Kevin Garnett has been in this league for 13 years, but none of them has ever touched the finals.

This……

That's why they got together!

Su Wan's back wave is terrifying, but...

After all, he is only one person!

and……

A 13-point lead!
That’s really a lot!
As long as they can respond to Su Wan's goal, Su Wan may not be able to catch up the score in one quarter!

They all knew how difficult it was to catch up in such a desperate situation.

Of course, this is looking at the matter from their own perspective.

But they forgot...

Standing in front of them was Su Wan, the league's youngest "three-time Finals MVP" winner who led his team to a dynasty in the first three years of his career!
The game started again. Facing Suwan's shining eyes, whether it was Pierce, Ray Allen, or Kevin Garnett, they all subconsciously gritted their teeth.

The first game of the series proved that it is not easy to defend Suwan.

Therefore, this game was to defend 13 points.

The Celtics' approach was "attack instead of defense", using the "Big Three" offense to compete with Suwan.

Although Suwan can defend Paul Pierce point-to-point, the Celtics still have two other "giants" who attack frequently.

More than four minutes after the game resumed, the 4-point difference that remained seemed to indicate that this was the right thing to do.

Rivers breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could exhale all his breath, he saw Suwan catching the ball while moving quickly, and Ray Allen quickly jumped to defend, and the result was...

"Shh!"

"beep!"

A three-pointer was made and there was another free throw opportunity.

Su Wan, who was lying on the ground, heard the whistle, watched the ball fly into the basket, and clenched his fists tightly.

This goal directly caused the scene to explode!
The Indiana people were ready to accept death, but Suwan's "4 points" gave them a little more desire to live.

"Shh!"

The free throw was made steadily, and the score difference suddenly reached 9 points.

When Su Wan retreated, a unified shout rang out at the scene. It was no longer a "Su Wan" to keep him, but a united shout of fighting spirit:
"Defense!"

"Defense!"

The Celtics are a little more impatient.

When the score gap continues to widen, the team that is lagging behind will definitely be under pressure.

But as the score continues to narrow, the side under pressure becomes the leading side.

Not only is there a sense of urgency as the lead is eroded bit by bit, but the change in mentality is also crucial.

And don’t forget, the Celtics were already in a panic and under tremendous pressure because Suwan suddenly opened “The zone”.

After Suwan's "four-point shot", the Celtics became obviously more panicked.

After being blocked for two consecutive rounds, a low-level mistake was made in the next round.

The Pacers seized the opportunity to narrow the score to 4 points.

The key player to score these 5 points...

It’s still Su Wan!

"This is just one person challenging the Celtics one-on-one!" Barkley watched Suwan score another 5 points, and his score in the fourth quarter had exceeded 15 points. Amid the cheers of the audience, he quickly returned to defense and took a defensive stance with a fighting look on his face.

Even through the screen, he could feel Su Wan's desire for victory.

At this moment, it seemed as if nothing in the world mattered anymore. There was only one thing left in Su Wan's eyes, and that was...

Win!

What Barkley saw and felt was the only thought in Su Wan's mind at this moment.

Now there is only one thing on his mind: how to even out the remaining score.

Paul Pierce was a little afraid to stand opposite Suwan to receive the ball.

But at this time, someone needs to step up and score, and he has to step up and score...

Yes!

I really want to poop!
The tension caused his sphincter to contract continuously, creating an urge to defecate.

No, I can't back down!
I must persevere!

Paul Pierce caught the ball with gritted teeth, but Suwan saw it all.

When he stretched out his hand to signal and Ray Allen passed the ball to him, Su Wan moved, like a cheetah that had been crawling for a long time, rushed out directly and intercepted the ball.

"Bah!"

After gliding at a low altitude like a "jet", Su Wan scored with a one-handed slam dunk.

All the Celtics could do was look at Su Wan's back, breathing heavily and shaking their heads slightly.

abnormal!
So perverted!

It’s not like there aren’t players this season who can compete with them.

Can……

This is the Eastern Conference Finals!

And it's already Game 6 of the series.

Su Wan played like a "super giant" in every game.

As for the first game of the series and tonight's game, he played a phenomenal "god-level performance". This kind of presence on the court really makes people want to shake their heads.

Becoming an opponent with a guy like this.

It’s so unfortunate!

The last 2 points...

Now, the pressure from the Celtics seemed to have turned into substantial frost. Their movements on the court looked so slow, as if they were an "old car" that was shaking slowly with a "creaking" sound. Except for the bells not ringing, the whole car body was making a shaky feeling, making everyone realize that they were already at the end of their strength and were just waiting to be dealt a fatal blow!

But at this time Ray Allen stood up, caught the ball, turned around, and kicked his legs, the whole action was done in one go.

ball……

He was arrested immediately!

The score difference changed by 5 points again!
God knows how excited Rivers was. His hoarse voice turned into a "dolphin sound":
"Nice!!!!"

At this moment, in his heart, Ray Allen is the "No. 1 killer in history"!
This goal is really crucial!

However, in the next round, Suwan immediately responded from outside the three-point line, forcing Rivers to call the last timeout.

After this goal, Su Wan's score in the final quarter reached 20 points.

The DJ on the scene couldn't help it anymore and played Su Wan's exclusive BGM "Extreme Ways"!
Whenever this song is played in Conseco Arena, it will inevitably cause a "huge wave".

this moment……

It even directly became a "tsunami"!
"Agent 99" is once again "destroying the bomb" to the extreme!

Su Wan took the towel handed to him by the staff and wiped the sweat from his hair.

The staff member took the towel again and immediately felt that it was a lot heavier.

Rick Carlisle correctly guessed Rivers' offensive plan after the timeout.

Kevin Garnett just got the ball in the high post when he was double-teamed by Suwan and Randolph. He quickly turned to look for Pierce, but he couldn't see him anywhere. The only person left was...

Rajon Rondo!

Rondo was stunned when he saw the ball in his hands.

I?
Was it me?
He hesitated whether to break through or shoot directly.

This awkward look made Su Wan see the shadow of LeBron.

This is what people who don't have confidence in shooting are like.

With a loud bang, the attack failed.

"Ho!"

Kevin Garnett really tried his best, staggering to grab the offensive rebound, but just as he grabbed it, it was stolen by Su Wan.

Quickly launching a counterattack, Su Wan wielded his spear and rode his horse, galloping all the way, successfully breaking through everyone and putting the ball into the basket.

It’s a tie!
Now the momentum is completely on the Pacers' side.

The tough defense helped them to hold on for the next round.

The Celtics began to double-team Suwan recklessly. Facing a "four-man open space", Suwan finally chose to pass the ball to Randolph in the inside.

"Dangdang!"

"beep!"

The ball didn't go in, but Randolph caused Perkins to foul.

It was not easy. After six games in the series, this was the second time Randolph caused Perkins to foul.

Perkins was obviously anxious.

If it weren't for the pressure of tying the score, he wouldn't have acted so quickly.

"Dangdang!"

"Shh!"

When Randolph missed the first free throw, there was a low cheer from the audience. Fortunately, Randolph withstood the pressure and made the second free throw.

While he was shooting free throws, Rivers kept adjusting the Celtics' lineup on the court.

There were 13.4 seconds left in the game. The Celtics had no timeouts and the ball was served from the backcourt. He could only arrange tactics at this time.

Same thing with Rick Carlisle.

Although he had a timeout, it would be better not to call one at this time.

Then the game officially started with the referee's whistle. To be safe, the Pacers did not double-team him immediately. Instead, they waited for Rajon Rondo to dribble across half court.

There are only 11 seconds left, which is plenty of time.

There was still a desire for victory in Su Wan's eyes, and other than that, no other emotions could be seen.

But at this moment he heard the system's reminder:

His physical strength has reached its limit!

There are 10 seconds left before the system automatically exits "The zone" mode.

I rely on...

Su Wan gritted his teeth immediately.

Now not only the Celtics are racing against time, but he is also racing against time.

10!

8!
With the sound of the countdown coming from his mind, Su Wan relied on his extremely clear brain to judge the Celtics' ball path.

Did Paul Pierce catch the ball?

wrong……

That was a covering move.

The real goal is...

Su Wan caught a glimpse of that thin figure!

It's Ray Allen!

Su Wan immediately let go of Paul Pierce in front of him and quickly moved towards Ray Allen.

The ball really flew into Ray Allen's hands.

And the next second after he got the ball, Su Wan also appeared in front of him.

The countdown in my mind has reached the last 2 seconds.

There are less than 3 seconds left.

Ray Allen jumped up and looked at Su Wan who was falling from the sky. He had no choice but to force a shot.

The moment the ball flew out of his hand, Su Wan also heard the sound of "The zone" withdrawing. At that moment, a huge feeling of fatigue enveloped him. His body seemed to be hollowed out, and even his raised arm felt like it weighed a thousand pounds.

But looking at the ball right in front of his hand, Su Wan cursed: "Rough!"

Despite the fatigue rushing to his head, his fingers still touched the ball.

It was a very slight contact, but Su Wan felt it...

Ray Allen saw it, too.

Ruined.

"Dangdang!"

"beep!"

Sure enough, the ball hit the backboard, and at this moment, the red light on the backboard also lit up.

win……

Won!

Trailing by 13 points in the fourth quarter, the Pacers finally made a comeback thanks to Suwan's 22-point performance in the quarter and his extreme "touching the ball", and narrowly changed the score to 1-3 with a difference of 3 point.

Su Wan...

done!
"He saved Indiana once again!"

As Barkley shouted, the whole audience once again shouted for Suwan:
"MVP!"

"MVP!"

Indeed...Su Wan deserves the three letters "MVP".

"It's all thanks to Suwan that this series can enter the seventh game. He alone holds up this team!" Looking at Suwan, who was helped up by his teammates with fatigue written all over his face, Bill Walton's eyes were full of disbelief.

He was once again shocked by Su Wan's "Ultimate Savior".

"As long as Indiana has Suwan, it will be their time to rise! Without a doubt, this is... the era of Suwan!"

If Suwan had O'Neal Jr. and Artest by his side before, then this year's playoffs, especially the Eastern Conference Finals, have proved that even if Suwan is alone, he has the dominance of "one man, one city, and ten thousand men cannot break through" on the court.

Needless to say, the Celtics' opponents. Even Paul Pierce, who despised Suwan the most, no longer had the idea of looking down on Suwan.

This guy is only 23 years old!
But his ability to create miracles on the court made him feel intimidated.

He had only seen this kind of fear in one person before, that name:

Michael Jordan!

Although he was facing Jordan in his twilight years, his first match against him still made Pierce understand what the "God of Basketball" meant...

Su Wan is like a younger version of him!

"Doug...Doug!" Thibodeau called out to Rivers thoughtfully, but the first time, the "pig-head" didn't come back to his senses. He was still shocked by Suwan's performance in the final quarter. When Thibodeau called out the second time, he finally turned around in a daze and looked at him with confused eyes.

"Ok?"

This kind of "pighead" can be the head coach, but I can only be an assistant coach?
Thibodeau was even more dissatisfied, but no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only patiently say, "Doug, I think... I saw Su Wan's weakness!"

"What?" Rivers was a little surprised.

Could such a pervert have any weaknesses?

Why can't he see it?

"His... physical strength!" Thibodeau asked Rivers to carefully observe Suwan's current condition. "He has already fought to the extreme tonight. This kind of fatigue cannot be recovered in one day's rest. What we need to do is to continue to consume Suwan's physical strength in the seventh game!"

After his reminder, Rivers realized that Suwan was even a little shaky when he walked to the bench. This looked quite shocking like the time when Jordan fell headfirst into Pippen's arms, but it did show that there was something wrong with Suwan's physical fitness.

Is it okay?
This abnormal series averaged 44.5 minutes per game!

The Pacers lost 3 points in 6 games in the 25 minutes without him. This shows how much this team relies on him!

If we take care of his physical condition and let him rest more...

This is indeed a good idea!

However, Thibodeau had his concerns. The Celtics were reversed after leading by 13 points, which was somewhat of a blow to their morale. He didn't know whether the Celtics could regain their morale in the seventh game.

Unexpectedly, Rivers waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, Tom!"

No one understands "fighting spirit" better than him!
Suwan didn't know that Thibodeau had already accurately targeted his physical fitness.

If he knew, he would have said...

Thibodeau is right!

Especially after this big battle, he had to drag his sore body to Boston by plane, which was another torture.

Even after a day's rest, he had not fully recovered and his feet still felt a little weak.

But the game had reached this point, and Su Wan had no choice but to grit his teeth and hold on.

The home team's locker room on the day of the game.

Rivers called the "Big Three" to him: "No matter what happened before, I hope you can forget it and play well in the game tonight!"

"You all see how good Su Wan is!"

"He's only 23 years old!"

“He’s only going to get better!”

"And what about you?"

"You're getting older!"

"Your era is coming to an end..."

"Paul, Kevin, and Ray... this may be your only chance in this life. It's your last chance. Whether you can seize it or not depends on you!"

“I believe we can make it to the finals!”

The effect of "Rivers Brand Extra Thick Chicken Soup" is very obvious. The fighting spirit of Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen has been raised to an unprecedented level at this moment. As for Paul Pierce... he wants to shit again!
Thibodeau didn't sleep for two nights and finally sorted out Suwan's shooting hot spots in these games and this season, and specially marked the "overlapping parts" among them.

Obviously, this is the "shooting hot zone" that Suwan is most accustomed to this season. Whether it is in the playoffs or the regular season, he likes to shoot in these places.

Then there was the targeting of Su Wan.

"Whether Su Wan has the ball or not, we must take the initiative to create physical contact to ensure that he consumes physical energy every second he is on the court!"

"Also, don't give him a chance to shoot from mid-range, let him go to the basket!"

"We must continue the pincer attack!"

"The round-robin situation will delay him. Don't let him break through so easily!"

……

So many defensive targets were aimed at Su Wan.

The Celtics are going to go all in and bet that the rest of this Pacers team doesn't have the ability to step up.

It turns out that Thibodeau made the right bet...

With Suwan being targeted a lot, the other players on the Pacers were completely unable to stand up.

Randolph had only one explosive performance in the entire series, and that performance was outside the three-point line. His strong attack under the basket, which he was better at, was severely restricted in this series. Coupled with the high-intensity confrontation, he was extremely uncomfortable.

He started to feel dizzy since the 5th game of the series!
Including the last game, although he made 2 of 1 free throws, he only scored 13 points in that game.

He fainted.

Others were no better.

After Artest left, the entire back line was exposed, and Anthony Parker was completely unable to defend against off-ball running and shots by Ray Allen.

So much so that when Suwan was defending Paul Pierce, he had to help him defend Ray Allen at all times.

To be honest, even though Suwan only played for 44 minutes in the game, he was more tired than LeBron James who played the full 48 minutes.

Another point is that the role players of the Pacers have not been able to perform to their full potential. Whether it is Dio, Millsap or other players, the roles they now assume are bigger than before.

The bigger the role, the greater the pressure, and their lack of experience becomes apparent.

Su Wan is working hard to make up for this shortcoming.

But his physical strength had not fully recovered, and after facing heavy attacks from the Celtics, he did not do very well in this aspect in this game.

The game came to the end of the third quarter, and this time the Celtics led by 17 points, more than any other time before.

But they still dare not be careless.

They lost the last game despite leading by 13 points. Is it really safe to lead by 17 points in this game?

Sure enough, driven by his strong desire for "life", Su Wan once again entered "The zone" mode.

But this time he only lasted less than 8 minutes before he left "The Zone"...

I’m so tired!
The score difference was narrowed to only 6 points.

But as he exited "The zone" mode, the Pacers' momentum to catch up came to an abrupt halt.

At the end of the game, the score was 98 to 90...

The Celtics defeated the Pacers by 8 points.

But even when the buzzer sounded, Boston's "Big Three" still looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. It was not until the cheers from the entire stadium filled the entire ND Garden that they finally realized the game was over and they had won!

Oh my God……

too difficult!
Although the previous two rounds had both gone to game 7.

But the feeling is different.

As long as they lead by more than 10 points in the first two rounds, they can be sure that they have won the game.

But facing the Pacers, even with a 17-point lead, they still felt that the lead was unstable.

They are like the running little people in Temple Run.

If you want to survive, you have to keep running...

Don't even mention how much mental pressure this caused them.

"call!"

Kevin Garnett let out a long breath and then burst into tears.

He originally thought he would not cry until he won the finals.

But in the end, after the fight and defeating Su Wan, he couldn't help but want to cry.

This is definitely the opponent that brings him the most pressure.

He can't win if he's missing a brother.

Ray Allen stood there expressionlessly, waiting for his teammates to high-five him, but on that expressionless face, one could still see the palpitations that flashed from time to time, and deep in his eyes, deep gratitude.

He is a person who does not care about sex.

But at this moment he really couldn't control his expression. This was the aftereffect that Su Wan had on him.

There was no joy in winning the game, but rather a sense of relief after all the anxiety.

As for Paul Pierce, looking at the final score, he let out a long breath, and his whole spirit was completely relaxed at this moment. Along with his body and mind feeling comfortable, his sphincter also felt comfortable.

then……

"puff!"

Abnormally smooth!
He could feel something long in his trouser pocket.

With warmth.

Gan!
Looking extremely embarrassed, he quickly ran towards the locker room, but the other Celtics players came over excitedly at this time.

No, no, don’t!

Pierce wanted to run but couldn't.

Perkins slapped him hard on the butt, hitting the bull's eye. The touch froze his joyful smile and he fell into deep thought:
why!

"Won!"

"Paul, we won!"

"You don't look excited!"

The others pushed and shoved excitedly. Paul Pierce wanted to escape but couldn't, and had to celebrate with them.

This effort...

Another one came out.

The underwear can no longer hold it in.

The long thing rolled down his trouser leg.

Reporters soon discovered...

That is……

shi!

"Damn, Paul Pierce was so excited that he shit himself!"

I don't know who shouted first.

Barkley, who was still lamenting that Suwan, who averaged 7 points in 38.5 games, had won a glorious defeat, was stunned when he heard the director's reminder. Then he said excitedly: "Dear audience friends, you may not know how excited Paul Pierce is to win this game. He was so excited that... he even shit himself!"

Su Wan stood on the sidelines, waiting for the "winners" to finish their excited celebration, and then offered his congratulations as the "loser".

When the first playoff loss of his career came, Su Wan was calmer than he thought. He was neither depressed nor angry. He wanted revenge, but he didn't show it on his face.

Later, Suwan recalled why he was so calm in this defeat in his career and came to this conclusion:

He tried his best!

He did everything he could.

But still lost...

He doesn't accept defeat, but he can admit it, he will become stronger and come back!

Well, mainly because he couldn't be upset when he heard that Paul Pierce had shit on the spot.

He knew that Pierce's sphincter was loose and that he was originally going to make a comeback this season.

Later he revealed that he went to the locker room to take care of it because he was about to poop.

But he didn't expect that Pierce's sphincter would be so loose. Or was the pressure on him really that great?

Not to mention Suwan, the other players of the Pacers who were originally looking down in frustration, all looked up in surprise and looked at Paul Pierce curiously.

A conspicuous mass...

puff~
I don’t know who laughed first, dispelling the frustration of defeat.

Su Wan finally waited for the Celtics to finish their "celebration".

Kevin Garnett was the first to walk over to him, hugged him, and said to him, "Don't let your loyalty get you killed, Sue!"

Here it comes, here it comes, that classic quote is here again!

It’s hard for Suwan to say whether Kevin Garnett has the right to say such things.

He doesn't have such a position...

He did stay with the Timberwolves for 12 years and wasted his prime years.

Minnesota is still a small city.

Su Wan stayed in the small city for 12 years without seeing any hope, but he didn't dare to say that he could do it.

But the problem is that his salary is not low.

In the 00s, he earned 2 million, which was about 5 million higher than the maximum salary under the "Larry Bird Clause" at the time.

The Timberwolves' salary cap space was occupied by him alone, and they had to take extreme measures to attract new players. They signed a "yin-yang contract", sacrificed 5 years of draft picks, and directly pushed the team into the abyss.

If Kevin Garnett was willing to sign a maximum salary contract with the Timberwolves that was similar to the market price, or slightly higher, the Timberwolves would not have ended up like this. The Timberwolves also made such an offer sheet, but Kevin Garnett disagreed. He insisted on getting the full salary, thinking it was compensation for staying in a small city.

Therefore, it is hard to say whether the Timberwolves delayed Kevin Garnett or Garnett harmed the Timberwolves.

After all, after giving Kevin Garnett a top-tier contract, except for 04, Garnett was eliminated in the first round almost every year.

This is not a big achievement.

And Suwan's situation is different from Kevin Garnett's.

"Kevin, this is the first playoff round I ever lost."

Kevin Garnett remained noncommittal when he heard Suwan say this. He felt the same way when he lost in the playoffs for the first time. But 12 years later, he finally left Minnesota and came to Boston.

Given the Pacers' current poor lineup, he is very clear that if Suwan continues to stay there, he will most likely be the next one.

Do you really think that by winning the first "three consecutive championships" you can continue to win championships in small cities?

Good luck will eventually run out!
Big cities and star teammates are the hard truth!
Then Ray Allen came over, just gave a simple hug and said, "The future is yours!"

Su Wan also nodded and said "Congratulations".

Afterwards, Suwan politely rejected Pierce's approach.

Although Pierce has always been dissatisfied with Su Wan, he generously called her "Sister Li" at this moment.

During the post-match interviews, many reporters felt that Suwan had "honored his defeat", especially after seeing Paul Pierce's embarrassed look, they thought so even more.

Su Wan said, "There is no such thing as honor in defeat. Losing is losing! I can accept winning, and I can also accept losing!"

"Is it because Pierce defecated on the spot?"

"Well, this is part of the reason..." Su Wan had to admit.
