Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 77: Stealing chicken but losing rice
When Bruce Bowen kicked towards Suwan, there was a low cheer at the scene and some San Antonio people showed expectant smiles. They were expecting Bowen to kick Suwan down with one kick.

But the next scene surprised them. Su Wan reacted in a flash and used his hands to block Bowen's feet before falling to the ground.

Because of Su Wan's attack, Bowen lost weight and fell backwards, with his head hitting the floor.

The low cheers instantly turned into a roar. The timid fans immediately turned their heads away, frowned and closed their eyes, not daring to look back at the court. It was not until their friends reminded them that their heads did not explode as they had imagined that they dared to open their eyes.

At this moment, they saw Bowen, who was full of energy just now, lying on the ground, motionless. Only the rise and fall of his chest proved that he was still alive.

"Team doctor, team doctor!"

Popovich came back to his senses from the shock and quickly asked the assistant coach to call the team doctor. Taking this opportunity, he glanced at Su Wan who had climbed up and stood with one hand on his waist, and shouted angrily to the referee: "This is murder. That Chinese newcomer wants to kill Bruce. What are you still standing there for? Send him off the court!"

As Popovich shouted, there were also bursts of boos at the scene, and all kinds of foul language began to pour out from the audience.

Reggie Miller and others stood next to Suwan at the first moment.

This is the lesson they learned from the "Palace of Auburn Hills Incident".

"Are you okay?" Tinsley asked in a low voice.

Su Wan shook his head slightly.

Originally, he planned to run to the referee immediately and show an innocent expression like Bruce Bowen did in the past, to show that he did not mean it, or run to Bruce Bowen's side hypocritically to express his concern.

But in the end he gave up.

He doesn't want to do these things.

the reason is simple:
Bowen kicked him, and he was just protecting himself and making a legitimate defensive response. It was Bruce Bowen's own fault that he was lying on the ground now. If the referee cannot make a fair judgment, he will also seek justice in front of the media. He did nothing wrong.

So, he chose to do nothing, just stay there quietly and wait.

The team doctors came hurriedly. One of the more experienced ones gestured numbers in front of Bowen, asked and observed Bowen's reaction, and made sure that his mind was not distracted. He was relieved and began to check his body. Finally, he confirmed that there were no injured parts and asked the team doctor to lift him onto the stretcher.

Seeing Bruce Bowen end up like this, the fans at the scene became even more excited.

Popovich took the opportunity to put crazy pressure on the referee: "You must expel him. If I don't see this result, you are deliberately biased. San Antonio will never accept this!"

The referee glanced at him and simply pulled him to the technical table. He pointed at Bruce Bowen flying in the air on the replay and asked, "Greg, I want to ask, what is the professional term for this move on the basketball court?"

Popovich was speechless, but his tone did not soften: "...No matter what, the person lying on the ground now is Bruce Bowen!"

When the referee saw that Popovich was playing rogue with him, his attitude became even tougher: "Anyway, we only saw Bruce making moves that shouldn't happen on the basketball court, and this wasn't the first time. Uncle just made moves to protect himself, he didn't fight back."

"He raised his hand. Didn't you see it?" Popovich pointed to a frame in the replay video. "If he didn't raise his hand, Bowen wouldn't have fallen like this!"

Can this be called no counterattack?
"If Uncle didn't raise his arm, he would be the one lying on the ground now!" The referee said as he held the whistle in his hand. "Listen Greg, this is the final penalty. I will give Bruce a second-degree flagrant foul. If you don't return to your position quickly, you will also get a technical foul."

Popovich never thought that his efforts to request a video review would eventually convict Bruce Bowen. This feeling of losing more than gaining more made him angry and he cursed out loud: "Go ahead and blow the whistle at me, you piece of shit, are you qualified to be a referee?"

"beep!"

The referee saw that Popovich was shameless and was not polite at all. He blew the whistle and sent Popovich off the court. "Damn it, you guys can just blow the whistle. The other team killed someone and nothing happened. You will definitely regret it!" Popovich continued to curse, but he had to walk towards the player tunnel.

It was fine enough for the audience to see Bruce Bowen being carried away, but now even Popovich was called off the court, and shouts of curses immediately filled the entire Spurs home court.

The Pacers also received the referee's "two free throws and one throw" decision at this time.

Rick Carlisle breathed a sigh of relief.

Artest had never been so pleased with the referees before, and he shouted at the three referees one after another: "Master, wise, wise!"

Originally, Carlisle wanted Reggie Miller to take the free throws, but Miller looked at Suwan and refused, thinking that Suwan could do it.

Su Wan did not disappoint him. Standing at the free throw line, facing the deafening boos, he made both free throws.

Next, the Pacers can continue to attack.

The Spurs were clearly confused on defense, as they were used to running around under Popovich's scolding. Now that Popovich is gone, they are really not used to it.

One word:

cheap!
When Suwan saw the situation on the opposite side, he immediately chose to ask O'Neal to cooperate with him in a pick-and-roll. The chaos of the Spurs team was clearly revealed. Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili, who came back on the court, both pounced on O'Neal. Suwan, who was left open, took advantage of the touch of the free throw just now and made a steady mid-range shot.

Score 4 points in a row!
Su Wan, who was at the center of the vortex, seemed not to be bothered by the booing at all.

Even amid the boos, he fought harder and harder!

Well, if it weren’t for the blessing of “The zone” mode, this burst of boos that was about to swallow Su Wan would definitely have an impact.

After all, this was Su Wan's first time experiencing such a scene...

Next was the Spurs' attack. Rick Carlisle successfully predicted that the other Spurs players wanted to give the ball to Tim Duncan and let him handle it. He kept signaling on the sidelines and implemented a "slow double-team" on Tim Duncan.

That is to continue to double-team Tim Duncan, slowly and tentatively narrow the encirclement after he gets the ball, and decisively double-team him the moment he is ready to pass the ball.

Tim Duncan, who has always been as steady as an old dog, also showed impatience under the constant pressure.

The ball was shot hastily but missed.

Foster grabbed the rebound.

Then the Spurs suffered a crushing defeat.

The Pacers played more and more steadily, and the score gap widened. In the end, they won by 98 points, 85 to 13, at the Spurs' home court.

苏万在上半场砍下8分3篮板3助攻的情况下，最终全场拿到了24分6篮板7助攻3抢断3盖帽的完美表现。

However, everyone knows that the post-match focus of this game is not on Suwan's data.
