Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 55: New "Gold Rush"

If the first three and a half quarters of the game could only satisfy the "winning party", then in the next 12 minutes, Suwan's perfect "personal show" on both offense and defense was enough to satisfy everyone.

A lot of physical energy was consumed in the previous quarter, and at 6 minutes and 14 seconds into the fourth quarter, Su Wan saw the system prompt.

However, the Supersonics just raised the white flag, "five in and five out", replaced all the main players, the game entered "garbage time", and Rick Carlisle also replaced him.

Looking at Su Wan passing by, Carlisle patted his shoulder with satisfaction.

Reggie Miller even gave up his seat voluntarily.

The expressions of others, including O'Neal and Stephen Jackson, when they looked at Suwan, changed a little. After watching such a game, it was hard for them not to change their opinion of Suwan. This was the second-ranked SuperSonics team in the West, and Suwan led the Pacers' remnants and single-handedly defeated all of them. Before the end of the fourth quarter, the score difference was 20 points! In the same situation, if any of them were replaced, they would ask themselves, it would be difficult to do such a thing.

Su Wan faced the hands that his teammates on the bench extended to him, and high-fived them one by one. After he sat down, Tinsley, who was next to him, brought him a cup of Gatorade and handed it to him: "Man, you are really amazing!"

He was referring to Su Wan's perfect "solo show"!
10分钟不到的时间，进攻端砍下11分3助攻；防守端拿到了3个篮板2次抢断以及2次盖帽……

The word "terrifying" alone is not enough to describe his dominance on the court during this period!

Su Wan knew very well that he could perform so well on the offensive end thanks to the weak defense of the Supersonics; and such data on the defensive end was also related to the opponent's large amount of ball transfers and catch-and-shoot.

This is determined by the characteristics of the team!

If he were on a team filled with a lot of singles and top-notch defenders on the wing, he really wouldn't be able to perform so strongly.

The plan to challenge Artest one-on-one must not be stopped.

Interview after the game:

"What else can I say? Uncle destroyed us alone. It's hard to believe that this is just a rookie. The Pacers got him at this time. It's a relief for the fans here." - Nate McMillan;

"He defended well, but that's not the main reason why I didn't perform well tonight. I need to adjust my condition." - Ray Allen talked about his 33.3% shooting percentage;

"Incredible, really incredible. Even when I saw him returning to defense, I still couldn't believe he could do such a thing. He will become a star player." - Lewis talked about the goal that Suwan blocked;
"He did everything I wanted him to do. No, he even did things I didn't ask him to do. Tonight he showed that he can be the core of the team." - Rick Carlisle praised the media.

"He led the team, including me. It's incredible that someone like him has just been in the league for a month!" - Tinsley, who scored 16 points, 10 of which came from Suwan's passes, smiled into crescents when he heard Suwan's name.

"I just have one question...How did we get him? Cavaliers, what's your problem?" - "Voice of the Pacers" Bobby Leonard smiled happily after commentating the game.

"How does it feel to lead the Pacers to a 20-point win over Seattle, the second-best team in the Western Conference? Erin, I can only say... it feels great, but to be honest, the most refreshing thing is not having to take care of a high school student who is overconfident and incompetent on the court. I was completely myself tonight!" - Su Wan in the post-match interview with Erin.

In addition to Irene's interview, a domestic interview team also came, the classic "duo" of Su Qun and Yang Yi, and they brought Su Wan a message:
Domestic fans are very dissatisfied with the Cavaliers' trade of Suwan. In their opinion, Suwan did nothing wrong, he just taught LeBron how to play correctly on the court. Can this be a reason for being traded?
All we can say is that Cleveland doesn't deserve Suwan!
The next morning, this game was also widely reported in the media:
"He played for 30 minutes and 14 seconds, scored 27 points, 7 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks. In his first game for the Pacers, the Chinese rookie had a phenomenal performance. Cleveland, will you regret it?" - Indiana Star;
"The Chinese star Suwan performed strongly in his Indiana debut, leading the team to a 20-point victory over the Western Conference powerhouse SuperSonics. He has become the new hope of Pacers fans." - Indiana Chinese News;
"Use data to tell you, who delayed whom between LeBron and Suwan." - The New York Times;
"If I were Danny Ferry, I would resign at this time!" - Barkley's remarks after the TNT live broadcast of the Pacers vs. Supersonics game;
Most media took the initiative to cue the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The reason is not only what Suwan said, "It feels so good not to have to take care of high school students on the court", but also because the Cavaliers also had a game yesterday. They faced the Los Angeles Clippers, the tenth-ranked "lottery seed team" in the Western Conference, and eventually lost by 82 points, 94-12.

LeBron's statistics looked pretty good. He scored 47.4 points, 22 rebounds, 7 assists, 5% shooting percentage, and even had 6 steals and 1 block, with only 3 turnovers.

但这场比赛最后5分钟，他一共出手两次全部偏出，0分0助攻0抢断0盖帽，只有1个篮板还是后场篮板。

Being so "invisible" at the critical moment, coupled with the team's loss, put LeBron at the center of attention.

In fact, at this moment, NIKE and other media channels behind LeBron would immediately publish articles to denounce the Cleveland management for inaction and failure to find strong help for LeBron.

But now...

Such press releases will only bring ridicule.

Because originally LeBron had a strong helper, but LeBron couldn't stand the other party's guidance, so the team sent him away.

But the problem is...

"He really needs guidance!" Barkley said emotionally.

LeBron's statistics show that he has the ability, but his "invisibility" at critical moments shows that his playing style is flawed. If such a person has someone telling him what to do, he can definitely play better.

The media resources behind him were of no use for a while, and LeBron James could only keep his head down and be a "turtle".

He believes that things will get better slowly!

He gave all his praise to Elton Brand: "You know, Elton has always been an excellent inside player. He can handle the ball himself, he can grab rebounds, he can do everything. He destroyed our inside line, which is the root cause of our loss."

At the same time, many general managers of various teams have communicated with their "spotters" over the phone, and the content is similar:

Send more scouts to the Chinese CBA as soon as possible, and focus on observing those players who have the potential to become MVP!
今年是02年CBA联赛总决赛冠军姚明进入NBA的第三年，场均18.6分8.4篮板2盖帽，投篮命中率55.2%！已然是“准巨星”级别的表现了。

Let’s look at the 04 CBA Finals MVP Su Wan. In his first month in the league, he averaged 22.9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game, pushing LeBron James behind him and becoming the “third best rookie in history.” He also put on such a phenomenal performance in his first game with the Pacers.

What else is there to say?

CBA League is the new “gold rush”!
