Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 85: Su Wan is becoming the most hated person in Cleveland (sixth update)

After the game against the Lakers, the bruises on Su Wan's body lasted for two days.

The harvest was not much.

In the 25 minutes of "Extreme The Zone" time, Suwan made 15 of 6 shots, with a low shooting percentage of only 40%. Including 6 of 4 free throws, he scored a total of 16 points, in addition to 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

A total of 2 zone values ​​were gained.

After such a long time in "The zone" mode, I only gained less than 3 zone values.

In Su Wan's impression, this should be the least efficient game since entering the league.

However, considering that his opponent was Kobe, his overall strength at this time was probably around the 10th to 15th star in the league, and he could be ranked in the top three among the stars in the same position. And this was a direct confrontation with Kobe, and with his current ability, it was already very good to be able to play like this.

Besides, Kobe defended him, and didn't he also limit Kobe with the help of his teammates?

Kobe played for about 23 minutes and 14 seconds, and made 16 of 6 shots. Looking at the shooting percentage alone, it was only 37.5%, which is not as good as him!

This should be considered a fifty-fifty split!

Of course, another reason why Kobe played so inefficiently was that his ribs were broken by Suwan...

In addition to realizing that there is still a big gap between him and the top players, Su Wan’s biggest feeling is that he lacks signature skills.

His previous method of adding points was comprehensive improvement.

Considering that his previous foundation was too weak, it is understandable to add this.

But now his potential values ​​for ball control, breakthrough and mid-range shooting have all reached 85 points, and his potential value for mid-range shooting has even reached 90 points. He feels that he needs to specialize in breakthrough and mid-range shooting to make his style more obvious.

Moreover, even from the perspective of the playoffs, he should have made plans early.

Why do many superstars who are very good in the regular season become "fakes" in the playoffs?
The reason is that they have comprehensive skills, but are unable to specialize in any one area.

The most typical example is "The Great" Embiid.

He seems to be able to play both inside and outside, but when the competition in the playoffs becomes more intense, many of his weapons in the regular season are no longer available, and he can only be reduced to a "power forward", playing on the outside.

Su Wan doesn't want to be "the god in the regular season and the bug in the playoffs", he must create "specialized weapons".

During this period, all the zone values ​​were invested by him in the middle distance.

After the potential value reaches 90, each increase requires a zone value of more than 5, so during this period of time, he only increased the mid-range potential to 95 points.

But this is also the potential value of the "super giant" level. He can feel that his mid-range shooting has become more and more stable during training.

It's just that for now, the results of these trainings have not yet been reflected in the competition.

Having ability is one thing, and wanting to show it in the game is another. Just like there are so many "No. 1 in Korea" in LOL, how many of them can really become first-tier players? However, with the help of "The Zone" mode, he accumulates shooting experience much faster than ordinary people.

He believed that soon no media would dare to say that his shooting was not good.

Other teams in the league will also make special defensive arrangements targeting his shooting.

After playing against the Lakers, the Pacers faced two tough back-to-back games. Stephen Jackson also fell in this abnormal schedule. The Pacers suffered another wave of "1 win and 3 losses" and dropped to 5th place in the Eastern Conference.

The "Su Wan spirit" is still fermenting. Several "old people" have commented on Su Wan's action of straightening his dislocated finger.

"The Glove" Gary Payton said: "I didn't like this new guy until I watched the game between the Pacers and the Lakers. I have to give him the biggest respect. This new guy has incredible willpower!"

Lenny Wilkens, the head coach with the most regular season wins in the league, said: "This is a very interesting newcomer. Kobe was slapped in the face. He is a very old-school player. You can feel his willpower. He is very different from the spoiled newcomers of the new century."

These positive comments have made Suwan's popularity continue to rise, which is very obvious in the All-Star starting voting. Although the Pacers have lost more than they have won in this wave of consecutive "back-to-back" games, Suwan is far ahead of Allen Iverson, the second-ranked back line in the Eastern Conference, by about 20 votes, with a total of 152 million votes. In the third round alone, he received 75 votes.

He ranks second in the Eastern Conference, only behind Shaquille O'Neal. He ranks sixth in the entire league, only behind Yao Ming, Shaquille O'Neal, Kevin Garnett, McGrady, and Kobe.

After the official announcement of the third phase of voting results, The New York Times wrote a special report for Su Wan: "Su is becoming a super phenomenal newcomer. His rookie season is more eye-catching than 'The Twins'!"

In this article, The New York Times also mentioned Cleveland: "From this moment on, Mrs. Cleveland will gradually begin to regret that they have lost Suwan!"

It's not just the New York media that thinks so. The Bleacher Report also mentioned this in its report that day: "If the Cavaliers hadn't traded Suwan, they would have the first player in team history to be selected as an All-Star starter in his rookie season. Now the team that broke this team record has become the Indiana Pacers."

LeBron and his team are extremely anxious.

After the results of the third round came out, they were still ranked third among Eastern Conference guards, but the difference in votes between them and Allen Iverson reached 15 votes, which is a gap that is quite difficult to catch up.

Nike media can only continue to canvass votes for LeBron James.

but……

On January 1, the Pacers' last game in January was against the Philadelphia 29ers at home.

As the current "scoring champion" of the league, Allen Iverson had the last laugh in the duel with Suwan, scoring 33 points to surpass Suwan's 24 points.

After the game, Suwan once again campaigned for Allen Iverson: "I look forward to playing with him in the All-Star Game."

The Cleveland media felt helpless when they saw Suwan's remarks.

They really wanted to publish an article to accuse Su Wan.

After all, LeBron was your former teammate. Shouldn't you be campaigning for your former teammate at this time?

But Suwan had already said that he and LeBron had a conflict, so it was normal for him not to help LeBron canvass for votes. It was also at this time that they understood why Suwan had publicly admitted on Facebook that he had a conflict with LeBron.

This is preparation for revenge!
I have to say, he really knows how to find opportunities.

If LeBron James, the All-Star starter, is lost, it will not only be a blow to him, but also a blow to the entire Cleveland.

In the end, the Cleveland media, unable to morally blame Suwan, could only say sourly: "Suwan is becoming the most hated guy by Clevelanders, even though he once belonged to this city."

To go against LeBron is to go against the entire Cleveland!

The Cleveland media are also forgetful. They just said that Suwan likes revenge, and now they can't help but post a message to criticize him. As a result, Suwan made the following remarks on his Facebook that night: "If some players, as the boss of the team, can't even lead the team into the playoffs, and finally become All-Star substitutes, I will be very disappointed with the head coaches in the league! If you just look at the data, then why didn't Ricky Davis make the All-Star team in 02?"

Although Su Wan did not mention any names, based on the content he posted, it doesn’t really matter whether he mentions any names or not. Even a fool would know who he is talking about.

It's really cruel. Not only did they not allow LeBron James to be in the All-Star starting lineup, they also wanted to prevent him from being on the All-Star bench...

The Indiana media couldn't help but complain: "Cleveland, Cleveland, why did you mess with Suwan?"
