Chapter 157: Chapter 120 I Seem to See a Pack of Wolves from Siberia!

"Su is trying to challenge Shaquille O’Neal under the basket?"

"He’s going to have a problem!"

"Oh, no!"

"Sure enough, Shaquille retaliated against Su as well. I thought they were friends!"

Bill Walton turned his head away involuntarily as he watched Su Wan being yanked down from the air.

The scene was too gruesome for him to bear to watch.

Barkley loudly condemned Shaquille O’Neal’s black hand: "This is the problem! This is the problem! We all know Shaquille has a bad habit. When someone tries to dunk over him, he’ll stop his opponent violently by any means necessary."

"Vince Carter once tried to slam dunk over him, and he was pulled down to the ground, knocked out for 20 seconds!"

"We often discuss players in the league who are known for playing dirty, and Shaquille O’Neal gets overlooked, but he’s done similar things many times. He has a strong sense of pride, but his methods are too reckless, completely disregarding the safety of his match-up. What I want to ask is, if a defender did this to you, Shaq, you, too, like to embarrass opponents with dunks, would you want your opponent to treat you like this?"

The crowd was even more awestruck.

Even when Su Wan let out a fierce shout and slapped Shaquille’s hand away, they dared not boo.

They saw it clearly, Shaquille O’Neal’s pulling action was too violent. Su Wan fell straight down with his body parallel to the floor. The dull thud told everyone just how painful that fall was.

Even though he was the opponent, they understood Su Wan’s anger.

Foster and the younger O’Neal along with Stephen Jackson rushed over immediately, but the referee had already positioned himself between them and Shaquille.

Soon after, the Pacers’ team doctor arrived, and after checking that Su Wan was okay, he slowly got up.

The younger O’Neal and Jackson helped pull him up.

Su Wan glared viciously at Shaquille O’Neal: "Wait!"

Those two short words made Shaquille O’Neal’s hair stand on end, feeling like he was watching a horror movie in the dead of night.

After reviewing the video, the referee issued the final decision:

Level 1 malicious foul.

The Pacers would get two free throws and one ball possession.

"Is this actually not a direct ejection?" Rick Carlisle looked at the result and exploded with rage. If it weren’t for the assistant coach holding him back, he would have charged right up to the referee, "That move, are you sure it wasn’t meant to kill Su? Why is it only a Level 1 malicious foul?"

Why else would it be? If Shaquille was sent off, how could they continue to play Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals?

Would the Heat Team still have any hope of winning?

It could only be said that sometimes league referees did not take players’ lives seriously for the suspense of the game.

Of course, there was also the possibility of Shaquille O’Neal’s "superstar" privileges.

It was only normal for the newcomer Su Wan to have a bit of a gap with him.

However, Su Wan believed that if he made the same move on Shaquille, the referees wouldn’t eject him either.

Again, because if he was ejected, then the Pacers wouldn’t be able to play either.

"Swish!"

"Swish!"

Stabilizing his emotions, Su Wan executed both free throws successfully.

After that, the younger O’Neal inbounded the ball from the sideline, and Su Wan, once again at full power, made a breakthrough straight toward the basket.

If Shaquille O’Neal dared to block him like that again!

He wanted to see just how many times this guy could commit a "Level 1 malicious foul" without getting sent off.

The entire Miami crowd was stunned.

They couldn’t believe Su Wan still dared challenge Shaquille O’Neal’s defended basket.

"OMG!"

Barkley shook his head too, his greasy face full of shock.

So far in the NBA, only two people had dunked over Shaquille’s head. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel-com

One was Coleman.

At that time, Shaquille O’Neal was a rookie and did not dare to strike.

The other was Michael Jordan.

But he did not succeed in dunking over Shaquille with one attempt.

He tried to slam dunk over Shaquille O’Neal and encountered the guy’s "Black Hand," lying on the floor for quite a while.

However, after this incident, he continued to try and eventually caught Shaquille O’Neal off guard and completed the slam dunk over him.

Afterward, Shaquille O’Neal did not admit it, thinking that he had already dodged out of the way.

Besides these two, no one else had managed to dunk over Shaquille.

The main reason was that after being violently pulled down on their first attempt, those "slam dunkers" didn’t dare try a second time.

For example, Vince Carter.

Michael Jordan always seemed so different from others.

But now...

A second Michael Jordan-like guy appeared.

And he was even wilder than Jordan.

Just off the floor, he immediately tried a second attack upon getting up.

Bill Walton couldn’t help but exclaim, "Su Wan, the indestructible Indiana man!"

Shaquille O’Neal was also dumbfounded.

He had never seen someone so fearless of death.

But he dared not strike again.

Not to mention anything else, another "malicious foul," and he’d be ejected from the game. And who knows what kind of controversy it would stir up after the game. Especially from the Huaxia market, the past with Yao Ming might also be dug up.

In the end, he chose to shrink his head like a "shrunken turtle" and dodge away from the encounter.

"Bang!"

Su Wan slammed the ball with both hands, and the pull on the rim before landing almost deformed it.

"What’s the matter, softened up, you softie?"

He shouted at Shaquille O’Neal.

"The Shark" didn’t dare talk back, he saw the anger in Su Wan’s eyes, witnessed his volatility.
