Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 244 He Definitely Can’t Be Second
Wade has indeed had a bit of a rough time in recent years.

Mainly because in the first few years after debuting, the worst result was the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Although Wade and Shaq were unable to win the championship as a team due to Suwan, and even 06 did not become Wade's "season of the gods", at least he made it to the "Eastern Conference Finals" for two consecutive years.

And now?

Since Shaquille O'Neal left, Wade's best result has been the Eastern Conference semifinals, and he has been eliminated in the first round in the past two years.

Last year was the worst for him.

The team finally made it to the playoffs, but he was injured at the end of the season.

This season, "Big Z"'s form declined and became a burden to the team. Even though David Lee grew into a 20+10 inside player, the Heat still fell in the first round of the playoffs.

As he reached the age of 28, "The Flash" became a little anxious.

He, who has never forced the team to surrender, used this method to indirectly express his attitude and put a little pressure on Pat Riley.

This year is LeBron's contract year, and it is also Wade's contract year, so when he said this in front of the camera, the reporters became sensitive: "Dwyane, if the team's reinforcements do not meet your expectations in the end, will you choose to leave the Heat?"

Wade was stunned at the time.

Pat Riley's "strict father" face flashed through my mind, and my pupils shrank slightly. No, brother, don't mess with me! If Pat Riley heard this, how should I explain it?
"Leaving Miami? Are you kidding me, man? I'll never leave Miami, it's my second home. Everything I have is from Miami!"

Ok……

This is how an honest person gets angry!
The reporters felt bored at the time.

Su Wan knew that the gears of fate had begun to turn...

Of the four teams in the Eastern Conference semifinals, three have already been confirmed.

They are:
The Bulls, Pacers and Hawks eliminated the 65-win Cavaliers and completed the second "black eight" after the first round of 7-game 4-win system was changed.

The Celtics and the Magic fought for six games, which was the most tense series in the first round of the Eastern Conference. In the end, the Celtics broke through the siege and took the last spot in this year's Eastern Conference semifinals.

The two Eastern Conference semifinal matchups are:

Pacers vs. Hawks, Celtics vs. Bulls.

The Western Conference semifinals matchup is also fresh:
Lakers vs. Nuggets second game.

Then a "black eight" happened in the East and a "black seven" happened in the West. The Mavericks, who ranked second in the Western Conference regular season, were defeated by the Spurs 4-2 and eliminated in the first round.

Interestingly, the two teams also met in the playoffs last season. The Spurs were the higher-ranked team, but they were defeated by the Mavericks. Now they have returned the humiliation.

Dirk Nowitzki suffered another big blow.

Now the outside world calls him "the biggest wimp in history."

In the history of the NBA, it is rare for a "superstar" to suffer from both the "black eight" and the "black seven".

Dirk Nowitzki did it.

As for the title of "the second biggest wimp in history", some media gave it to LeBron James, while others defended him, saying that the Cavaliers were helpless in being eliminated in the eighth round. And with the "washing of articles" by LeBron's team, the "wimp" trend was completely focused on Dirk Nowitzki.

Centipede insect, dead but not stiff!
The health bar of the "Chosen One" is so damn thick!

Su Wan looked at the outside world's ridicule of Dirk Nowitzki, and thought about how he completed a "god-level season" in 2011 under such circumstances. It can be seen that his psychological quality is really good.

All I can say is that the relatively not-so-strong stars of the "older generation" are like diamonds in front of someone else.

This is what peer comparison is like.

The Suns also fought their way through and met the Spurs in the semifinals.

So the plot of the West this year can be summed up in two words:

revenge!

While the script was being finalized in the West, the first game of the series between the Pacers and the Hawks officially began in the East.

The Hawks' starting lineup is: Mike Bibby at No. 1, Joe Johnson at No. 2, Josh Smith at No. 3, Marvin Williams at No. 4, and Al Horford at No. 5;
The Pacers' starting lineup is: Chauncey Billups at No. 1, Suwan at No. 2, Afflalo at No. 3, O'Neal at No. 4, and Zach Randolph at No. 5;
To put it bluntly...

Except for position three.

The Pacers have the advantage in all other matchups.

Mike Bibby has entered the decline of his career, while Chauncey Billups is still in his prime.

Joe Johnson is still in his prime, but compared to Suwan, he is a little inferior.

Joe Johnson's ceiling is that of an ordinary superstar, at least two levels lower than Suwan.

Marvin Williams, who plays the power forward position, was a "genius" in college, known as a "genius swingman," but after entering the league he became another "fake" "fake second pick."

His current playing style is the "space-type power forward" that has become popular. What hinders his further development is his insufficient defensive ability. He is more suitable for defending the wings rather than inside players.

In fact, American inside players who don’t shoot towards the basket but instead shoot while floating are basically “softies”.

Either their character is too gentle, or they are afraid of confrontation.

Marvin Williams is both.

O'Neal Jr. is good at defending players of his type.

As for Al Horford, who is known as the "ball blind identifier" at the five position, he can defend and assist, but he is not the best in both aspects.

Randolph is more afraid of those strong and heavy inside players, such as Perkins.

Horford is obviously not that type of player, and Zach Randolph is no match for him.

Of course, the strength of this Eagles team also lies in:
They have Jamal Crawford on the bench.

This is the main reason why the Hawks can rank third in the Eastern Conference regular season standings this season.

They have plenty of offensive firepower.

The Heat were completely suppressed by the firepower exchange and ultimately lost the series.

Rick Carlisle is well aware of this, so if he wants to beat the Hawks, he must either limit the Hawks' firepower or play with more ferocious firepower than the Hawks. He had almost no hesitation:
Pull up the Italian guns!

It's just a head-on fight!
Then come on!

See which side has more firepower.

From the very beginning, the Pacers focused all their energy on the offensive end.

Under Billups' organization, players from the Pacers stepped up one after another and scored.

Just 3 minutes and 13 seconds into the first quarter, five Pacers players, including Afflalo, scored.

However, the Eagles were just as powerful and scored in many places.

At the end of the first quarter, the score between the two teams was 32 to 29.
Neither head coach changed their tactics and they were obviously satisfied with the performance of their players.

In the first half of the second quarter, the two sides were still in a stalemate, but in the second half, Suwan began to hold the ball and play one-on-one a lot. Joe Johnson was unable to defend him and could only try to respond.

But in terms of scoring explosiveness, there are only a few people in the league who can compete with Su Wan:

Kobe, Wade, Carmelo Anthony and the regular season version of Kevin Durant.

Joe Johnson is not on that list.

Of course, this is also normal. If Joe Johnson is at Suwan's level, the Hawks will not be the "civilian five eagles".

As for the Hawks' current lineup, if it is led by a No. 2 player of Suwan's level, they are guaranteed to make the finals.

However, the Hawks were able to climb to third place in the Eastern Conference this season, thanks to the good leadership of their "locomotive" Joe Johnson.

Bill Walton commented: "Joe Johnson is good enough, but compared with Suwan, he is a little bit inferior."

At the end of the first half, the Pacers widened the gap to 9 points.

The Hawks didn't lose at any other time, but they lost by 6 points when they needed their stars to stand up and compete.

Kenny Smith said: "This is the biggest difference between the playoffs and the regular season!"

During the regular season, sometimes the ability of the "leader" cannot be reached, but the team can make up for it. However, in the playoffs, it is very difficult for role players to help the "leader" make up for it.

To a large extent, the playoffs are about which "big brother" is tougher!
Those who are defeated by the "underdogs" are without exception because their core is not strong enough.

The Mavericks' defeat in the 07 playoffs was an example of this, and the Cavaliers' defeat in the playoffs also illustrates this point.

It is a fact that Marion was injured, but it is also a fact that LeBron James performed poorly in the "life-and-death battle"!

Derrick Rose on the opposite side was tough when he needed to be tough.

Coming back in the second half, the Eagles began to defend against Suwan.

As a result, Su Wan was not restricted, but their own rhythm became chaotic.

In the fourth quarter, Suwan scored 10 points in a row and scored 39 points in the whole game, helping the team to win over the Hawks by 118 points with a score of 98 to 20.

除了39分外，苏万还有7个篮板跟5次助攻2抢断以及1次盖帽。

Joe Johnson was able to compete with him on equal terms in the first half, but in the second half, as the Eagles head coach changed his tactics, he suddenly became sluggish on the offensive end.

Su Wande admitted that he had much less responsibility in this game than Joe Johnson.

Most of the time in this game, he only needs to be responsible for finishing and positional defense.

In addition to his personal offense and defense, Joe Johnson also needs to fill the organizational and passing responsibilities of Mike Bibby when Crawford comes on the court.

What many people don’t know is that Joe Johnson is known as the “singles king”, but he is actually a “two-position player”, and like Billups, he doesn’t need to keep the ball in his hands for a long time.

The only difference is that Billups is better at the "money ball" style of play, while Joe Johnson has an excellent "back-to-the-basket singles".

It can be said that the "Eagle King" is a very useful "second in command".

His ability as a core leader is slightly worse.

He was originally unable to compete head-on with Su Wan, and in the second half he also took on more responsibilities, so it was understandable that he could not keep up with Su Wan's firepower.

He ended up with only 20 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists.

Compared to his regular season data, this data is not much worse.

But in the playoffs, if we just continue our performance during the regular season, it would only be at the All-Star level!
The Eagles have many second-in-commands.

Al Horford is also a very good "second in command". He can do a lot on both offense and defense.

But if you want to rely on him to capture the city, that would be difficult.

Players like him who rely on their brains to play basketball generally have slightly weaker ability to solve problems.

For example, Stockton, Jason Kidd, and even Steve Nash can be considered as this kind of player. Don't say that Steve Nash's scoring ability is underestimated. He can actually win the "scoring champion"...

If his ability to solve problems is really good, the Suns will definitely make it to the finals.

That is why the “big bird” is so precious and rare.

There is a reason for this.

Yi Jianlian looked at Su Wan, who was high-fiving his teammates one by one amid the cheers of the audience, his eyes full of envy.

Yi Jianlian had a lot of playing time during the regular season, but his playing time gradually decreased in the playoffs.

There is no way. Yi Jianlian's current selling point is his ability to fly and dunk, but to be honest, based on these two points, there are too many "big black men" in America who are more talented than him.

In Su Wan's opinion, the only way for Yi Jianlian to break the deadlock is to develop the three-point shooting ability as soon as possible.

Many fans may be wondering, I remember that Yi Jianlian has three-point shooting ability!
It is true that he can shoot from long range.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many fans lamenting that Yi Jianlian didn't catch up with the right time when he entered the NBA. If he was born later, he would definitely be a "space-type No. 4" player.

But in fact, Yi Jianlian's shooting problem is not his shooting accuracy.

But in that...

He was too slow!

Not only is his three-point shooting slow, but his turnaround jump shot is also very slow. In the eyes of opponents with strong physical fitness, it is no different from a snail.

The threat that Yi Jianlian's shooting ability can bring in NBA-level games is less than the public realizes.

If he wants to make a name for himself in the NBA, he must speed up his shooting.

Otherwise, based on his current characteristics, it would be easy for him to be DNP in the playoffs like now.

But if a player wants to truly gain a foothold in the NBA, the playoffs are the big stage.

Many players have successfully established themselves in the NBA through outstanding performance in a series.

Of course, Yi Jianlian knows this truth!

Just look at the envious look in his eyes when he looks at Su Wan and you will know how much he wants to play the full 42 minutes like Su Wan.

Ok……

What he envied more was Su Wan's incredible chopping of melons and vegetables on the court. He seemed to be omnipotent.

They are both Finals MVPs from CBA, why is there such a big gap between them?

Otherwise, ask Su Wan this summer, what aspects do I need to improve?
Can……

Will Su Wan guide him if they are not related to him?
For Yi Jianlian, it is really difficult to take the initiative to ask about his own shortcomings, especially since he and Su Wan have only spoken a few words in the national team.

After the first game of the series, many media outlets were saying that it was only a matter of time before the Pacers made it to the Eastern Conference Finals for the sixth consecutive year.

They asked Suwan what it was like to have never missed the Eastern Conference Finals in his career.

Su Wan said very cautiously: "Let's wait until we advance to the next level!"

But in the end, he couldn't help but show off: "I don't think I have any special feelings. After all, for me, the playoffs every year only really start from the Eastern Conference Finals!"

Look at what you are capable of!

Atlanta reporters were upset tonight as they watched their team slowly disintegrate, but what else could they say?
They have no room for rebuttal in the face of facts.

They can only put pressure on Yi Jianlian like crazy. We are all Chinese!
They all came from the CBA league and they are all finals MVPs!

Why is there such a big gap between you, the Finals MVP, and him?
Even if it means you get what you pay for, our rank in choosing you wasn't much lower than Su Wan's!
The league released the "Best Team" and "Best Defensive Team" for the 09-10 season at this time...

"The best team: Kobe, Suwan, LeBron, Kevin Durant, Howard;"

When the "Best First Team" list came out, it caused a wave of heated discussion.

Barkley said very "venomously": "When I saw the names of LeBron James and Kevin Durant occupying the forward positions in the best first team, I had only one thought: the era of forwards is over!"

It's no wonder he said that, because the performance of these two "Best First Team" small forwards in the playoffs was too bad.

One was eliminated in the "Black Eight" game, and the other was coached by Kobe to the point where he couldn't take care of himself.

Of course, Barkley's remarks also caused the media behind the two players to attack wildly.

LeBron himself did not respond to this.

As for Kevin Durant...

He did not respond directly, but used his trumpet to madly attack Barkley:
"This flying pig is just envious of Kevin Durant for getting the All-NBA First Team at such a young age!"

"If I remember correctly, Charles never won the scoring title in his entire career? That's why he hates Kevin Durant!"

"No matter how much you hate Kevin Durant, it doesn't affect his greatness!"

"Kevin Durant will definitely get his championship ring, and Charles Barkley can only continue to say sour words!"

……

"The second team of the best lineup: Dwyane Wade, Steve Nash, Carmelo Anthony, Zach Randolph, Yao Ming;"

"Best Third Team: Brandon Roy, Joe Johnson, Pau Gasol, Shawn Marion, Stoudemire;"

It can be seen that Dirk Nowitzki has completely fallen out of favor.

He performed fairly well this season, with the Mavericks ranking second in the Western Conference, but he did not earn a spot on any All-NBA team.

Of course, after the first round, the "black seven" once again proved that there was nothing wrong with the media's vote.

The New York Times has divergent thinking: "If LeBron James' career has not yet made any breakthroughs, then what awaits him is becoming the next 'Dirk Nowitzki'!"

This scared LeBron, and he called Wade right away: "Dude, you really don't want to come to Cleveland? We won 65 games last season. If Sean hadn't been injured, we would never have been eliminated. As long as you come here, we can definitely create a big scene in the new season!"

Wade apologized, "LeBron, we are best brothers, but I'm sorry, I can't leave Miami!"

He has said in front of the media that Miami is his second home, so how can he leave?
And if you really want to say it...

"LeBron, do you really have to stay in that small place called Cleveland? Miami is the big city. If you put on the Heat jersey, you will know what a real superstar is!"

To be honest, LeBron is very tempted.

Can……

The Cavaliers just got eliminated by the "black eight", how can he leave?

In fact, he didn't take it very seriously.

Because in his opinion, if Shawn Marion had not been injured, the Cavaliers would never have been eliminated.

If there is any guilt, it is Marion's guilt towards the team and his teammates.

He is the one being dragged down!
As for saving the Cavaliers, pulling them out of the abyss…

I have been in this city since 03. Isn’t that enough of a sacrifice?
Damn David Stern, why did he have to let the Cavaliers get this "No. 1 pick"?

Why can't another team get this pick?

If he was with the Pistons, he would have won the championship in 04.

If he went to the Grizzlies, he would have partnered with Pau Gasol and the Grizzlies would have made it to the finals long ago.

Only on the Cavaliers can he accomplish nothing!
I can't even meet good teammates!

As a child born in Akron, he knew very well that he had already repaid what he owed the city. Now it was the city that owed him more and more!

what?
You said this city gave up Su Wan for him?

Ha ha!

Then they could have chosen to give up on me!

I didn't ask them to trade Su Wan!
It was they who chose me between me and Su Wan, not me who made them give up Su Wan.

This logical relationship must be made clear!
And who did Su Wanneng rely on to go to the Pacers?

Isn’t it all thanks to me, LeBron James?
Without him, Suwan would have gone to the Mavericks. With that wimp Nowitzki, could they have won three championships in three years and four championships in five years?

Not to mention that the Cavaliers owe him, Suwan also owes him!
If he really left, he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of guilt.

The Cavaliers picked me?

Am I going to stay with the Cavaliers forever?

Have you helped me?

Should I be grateful to you forever?

They're all work, they're all colleagues. I've already sacrificed my future for so many years. Do you want me to stay in Cleveland for the rest of my life?
I'm from Akron, there's no need for me to do this for Cleveland!

but……

The people in this world only know how to use moral blackmail!
For the sake of his own public image, LeBron cannot go against them.

Therefore he couldn't leave.

The most important point is that LeBron always remembers what Rich Paul said, if he takes the initiative to join the Heat, he will be the second!
He absolutely cannot be second!

Wade also knew that their three-year agreement was unlikely to be fulfilled, so he hung up the phone with regret.

Well, Wade actually felt relieved.

Look at the negative news about LeBron James in the past two years!
He fell out with Shaquille O'Neal and then with Vince Carter.

These two are good people in Wade's heart.

Especially Shaquille O'Neal, the two of them worked together, Shaquille is a very smooth person, rarely gets really angry. It's really amazing that LeBron can upset him.

Wade wasn't sure about working with someone like LeBron.

Even if they are brothers.

And this is just off the field.

Now on the field...

The psychological quality in this crucial match was too poor.

To put it bluntly, this is the real reason why Wade is unwilling to come to Cleveland.

When the time comes, he leaves his family and career to come to Cleveland, but ends up being screwed by LeBron in a crucial game, he won't be able to bear it!

If it was Su Wan who asked him to form a team, do you think he would still say "Miami is his hometown"? I'm afraid he would change Polis to "second hometown" at the speed of light.

LeBron can't come...

But the recruitment work cannot stop!

A person with a long neck suddenly appeared in his mind, and he quickly picked up the phone and called: "Hello, Chris, this is Dwyane. Are you interested in coming to Miami? With you and me, we can definitely achieve great things..."

Wade himself didn't expect that he could talk so much.

Anyway, the final result was very successful. Chris Bosh said at the time: "Dwyane, let's cheer for the new season together!"

Is this a success?
Is lobbying that simple?

Wade felt like he was about to get cocky.

He quickly called Pat Riley to take credit for it.

When Pat Riley heard that Chris Bosh was willing to come to the Heat, there was a bit of surprise on his face.

He has high expectations for this summer. If Suwan opts out of his contract, he will become a completely free agent.

This is definitely a big fish that the entire league is waiting for.

By then, all 30 teams will definitely scramble for it.

There is no other way. We have won four championships in five years. If we win again this season, it will be five championships in six years.

Not only did he lead the team to three consecutive championships, but he also eliminated the "dynasty sequelae" of the Pacers.

The key is that this player is really loyal.

To be honest, these general managers were not sure about recruiting Su Wan.

But in the end, the Simon family suddenly sold 51% of the team's shares due to various financial reasons. The new boss was a "greenhorn" who had no idea about the unspoken rules of the NBA, and he directly clashed with Su Wan.

Given Su Wan's arrogance, it is certain that he will opt out of the contract.

But Pat Riley is not sure whether he can attract Suwan to join with just David Lee and Wade.

After all, he is such a friendly person, even if he leaves, he will leave a considerable fortune to his old employer.

If the Heat really want to give them a few more capable players, then even if Suwan comes, they will have to rebuild for a while.

Now that Chris Bosh is willing to come, the Heat's paper strength has suddenly become extremely luxurious:
Wade, Haslem, Chris Bosh and David Lee!
Just look at the league this summer, how many teams can have a lineup as luxurious as the Heat?

"Well done, Dwyane!"

His praise made Wade smile happily, as if he had eaten bee poop.

For Wade, a compliment from Pat Riley is better than anything else in the world.

Best Defensive Team:
Suwan, Kobe, Dwight Howard, Rajon Rondo and Gerald Wallace were selected to the "Best First Team".

As for the "Best Second Team", there was a name that made Su Wan speechless:
LeBron James!
no……

You really only look at his average of 1.6 steals and 1 block per game, right?
However, there is no way around it. NBA selection is often like this, and data is the most intuitive reflection. Otherwise, can LeBron regard the "data cake" as his "lifeline"?

And think about it, he has been a member of the "Best Defensive First Team" since last season.

Now, due to Su Wan's suppression, he only made it into the "Best Defensive Second Team" once until this year.

Su Wan thinks...

The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
在“最佳奖项”的讨论声中，苏万带着步行者队成功以4-0淘汰了老鹰队，他在这轮系列赛场均33.5分6.5篮板4.5助攻1.5抢断1盖帽，投篮命中率48.4%，三分球命中率40.3%，罚球命中率90.4%。

Let everyone know what kind of bonus a "superstar" can bring to a team in the playoffs!
In the words of Bill Walton: "The Hawks lost nothing except their superstars!"

Before the final game against the Hawks, Suwan received the long-awaited "Defensive Player of the Season" trophy.

This season, the Magic only ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. Although Howard's performance on the defensive end was still remarkable, in the end more than 40% of the media gave the "Defensive Player of the Season" trophy to Suwan.

In this way, Suwan became another player after Kevin Garnett to win the regular season MVP and "Best Defensive Player Award".

Eh?
It doesn’t seem to be anything great!

Then let’s add an attributive.

Suwan became another player who won the regular season MVP, "Best Defensive Player Award" and Finals MVP.

The last person to do this was Michael Jordan.

Ok……

Barely qualified, let Michael Jordan take a chance!

After reading the news release prepared by Tailun, Su Wan chose the second version.

The next morning, Suwan's name was put together with Michael Jordan's name.

Subsequently, the Celtics also broke through from the semi-finals.

After two years, the Celtics and Suwan met again on the stage of the Eastern Conference Finals.

This time, the “Big Three” are all here!
Suwan set the tone before this series began: "Although we also met the Celtics last year, without Kevin Garnett, I never felt that we had completed our revenge. This time, it is real revenge!"

The Celtics' "Big Three" were facing a formidable enemy.

There is no way. Kevin Garnett's return this season cannot bring them any confidence.

Not to mention that the Celtics lost all three games against the Pacers in this regular season. Just look at last season, before Kevin Garnett was seriously injured, they also lost to the Pacers by more than 3 points per game.

They have long been outclassed by the Pacers.

If it weren't for their desire for the championship, I'm afraid they would have surrendered by now.

The Eastern Conference Finals are about to begin.

In the West, the Nuggets failed in their revenge and were eliminated again by the Lakers 4-1.

The Suns eliminated the Spurs 4-0 and completed their revenge.

The two teams that entered the Western Conference Finals were born.

theme……

Or revenge!

Lakers vs. Suns.

On the day this series began, the league officially announced the regular season MVP of this season:

Kobe Bryant won the second regular season MVP trophy in his career!
