Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 70 Unexpected Disaster
Michael Redd made his position clear, but he was still booed by the audience when he entered Conseco Arena before the game. He had no doubt that if he was voted for the "most unpopular person in Indiana" at this moment, he would definitely be the first.

Is Bill Simmons crazy?
This year is Reed's "contract year" and he just wants to play well and sign a big contract this summer.

Any bad night, in his mind, would reduce the amount of money he would receive from his big contract.

He didn't want to mess with a "powder barrel" like Su Wan...

As for the All-Star status that can increase bargaining chips, Michael Redd knows very well that Shaquille O'Neal in Los Angeles can't compete with Yao Ming. How can he compete with Suwan for the All-Star starting position in Milwaukee?

The Pacers' overall strength is stronger than the Bucks.

Rather than uttering harsh words, it is better to be beaten in public and affect your value.

It's better for him to develop quietly. With his data this year, he will definitely be an All-Star substitute. Why should he fight for the All-Star starting position, which is a hopeless position in the first place?

But in the end, Bill Simmons, this sad guy, pushed him to the front.

He even suspected that this person was hired by Su Wan.

Just to slap him in the face and make myself more famous...

After warming up, both sides started the game. The Pacers' starting five: Tinsley, Suwan, James Jones, O'Neal Jr., and Foster; the Bucks' starting five: Mo Williams, Michael Redd, Mason, Joe Smith, and Zaza Pachulia.

O'Neal Jr. won the jump ball and the game began.

Tinsley passed the ball to Suwan in the frontcourt, and the others did not wait for Suwan to signal, but took the initiative to move away, allowing him to face Michael Reed 1v1.

At this moment, there was a huge cheer at the scene.

Michael Reed's scalp tingled. It was the first time he played against Suwan after the trade. He was a little surprised: He had only been here for more than a month, why did he receive such cheers.

He remembers that he was like a "little transparent" during his rookie season.

Not to mention the fans, even some of the team staff may not know him.

Sometimes when the extra practice time is late, you will see the guarded eyes of the security guards.

He really came out of the mud.

Before he came out of his memories, Su Wan took action, swaying forward continuously to mobilize his body's center of gravity. He suddenly took a step forward, made a forced breakthrough to the right, and shook Reed behind him. Facing Joe Smith who came to defend in the middle, he paused, bent down, got to the basket, jumped high, and completed a slam dunk.

At this time, Pachulia was rushing back to the "three-second zone" from the side.

A center of his size has slow steps, so Suwan broke through when he had to move out during the "three seconds of defense". The only backup defender he had to face was Joe Smith.

Facing the "1 vs. 2" battle between Michael Redd and the "wandering No. pick" was not very difficult.

The Bucks counterattacked with a serve. Mo Williams was increasingly showing the style of a future "Mo Bu Pass". He looked like "the world is mine with the ball in hand". Mason's position overlapped with his, but he waved his hand away in disgust and drove him aside.

He seized the open space created by the pick-and-roll in the paint and completed a mid-range jump shot.

Tinsley's one-on-one defense was very good this time, mainly because Mo Williams was not tall, did not run fast, and was thin. He finally had the opportunity to use his strong physical strength to disrupt Mo Williams' dribbling rhythm through confrontation. The rhythm was off, and the subsequent shots were unstable.

O'Neal Jr. grabbed the rebound and passed it to Tinsley.

The ball was in Su Wan's hands again before it crossed half court.

Looking at everyone's attitude, Su Wan understood that this was a stage for him to perform and to fiercely fight back against Bill Simmons' remarks!

What he didn't know was that the person who initiated this action was Ron Artest, who was standing in front of the bench cheering for Suwan. When Suwan was not in the locker room, he said to others: "The fact that we can regain the love of Indiana people so quickly is inseparable from uncle. He has helped us so much. This time it's our turn to help him."

Tinsley joked, "Ron, have you noticed that you now like to start giving speeches just like your uncle?"

"This is called captain's temperament. Do you understand it, Jamal?" Artest rolled his eyes.

Tinsley smiled, Reggie Miller also smiled, only O'Neal's eyes moved, but he agreed to let Suwan play well tonight, which he deserved. Even if the person who proposed this was Artest.

There was no harmony between the two of them, but because Reggie Miller was still there, the conflict between them did not break out.

Reggie Miller looked surprised when he discovered this.

He was worried that when he retired, the Pacers would fall apart because of these two people.

Now it seemed that there was one more person who could tie them all together on the same ship.

Even though Suwan didn't know the story behind it, he could see it and was very moved. He felt lucky to have had teammates like LeBron in the early stages of his career and now meet the Pacers.

From this point on, he has LeBron's team to thank for sending him to Indiana.

It is somewhat ironic that in the media's mouths, few of these people have a positive image, but LeBron, in front of the media, is the "chosen one" with a perfect personality.

Maybe Zhou Shuren is right!
Those who are righteous are mostly butchers, and those who are most ruthless are mostly scholars.

This seemingly perfect "good guy" actually has most of his character flaws.

Not only LeBron James, Kobe's image in the media after entering the league has been developing along the path of Michael Jordan. After the "Eagle County Incident", he lost all commercial endorsements, and his agent created a new commercial image for him:

Love me or hate me!
Since then, people have discovered that Kobe is actually a child with no emotional intelligence and a terrible personality.

Suwan likes Indiana like this.

He was not polite, holding the ball to face Michael Reed, and forced him to retreat to the three-point line with a series of crossover steps. He was standing on the three-point line, and at this time he also fully exerted his strength, rushed to the basket against him, and completed the second layup:
"Michael, if this is all your defensive ability, I can score 40 points tonight!"

Michael Reed wanted to say, "Then give it a try," but he couldn't say it. After two confrontations, he knew that he couldn't stand up to Suwan. He hated Bill Simmons even more. If it weren't for this old guy, he wouldn't have suffered such an unprovoked disaster.

So, sometimes it’s not easy to be in the C position.

For example, Michael Reed now is just like when he appears in the Paris Olympics in the future, waving desperately, and then listening to the host introduce them as the Coreans from "North Korea". He is full of dissatisfaction and embarrassment, but he can do nothing about it.
