Chapter 182: Chapter 129: These Guys on the Pacers Really Dared to Lay Hands on Tim Duncan! (Two in One)_6

...

"I really don’t know why the Spurs dared to get physical with Pacers players on their home court, can’t they see how tough this team has become over the past season? They’re not like the SuperSonics or the Rockets, they’re a team that’s definitely going to retaliate! Greg has really hit the nail on the head now. I wonder how David Stern is going to punish them!"

The opinion of most studio analysts was unanimous.

They believed the Spurs would face severe punishment.

After all, they had laid hands on spectators.

This was a big taboo for David Stern.

What’s most important is that with the precedent of the handling of the Auburn Palace incident, if he didn’t adhere to the previous standards of punishment, the Indiana fans might really revolt.

He also had no reason to forsake Indiana for the sake of San Antonio.

Su Wan had already appeared in front of the media.

He was surrounded by an especially large number of reporters.

Mainly...

The only ones from the Spurs side who could attend were staff members and benchwarmers; everyone else was already sitting in the team bus, being taken to the hospital.

An entire team off to get medical treatment.

With the Spurs basically having no post-game interview segment, these reporters could only crowd around Su Wan, right?

Su Wan first answered questions regarding Tim Duncan’s arm being put in a naked strangle, repeating what Popovich had said, but this time he was more direct, "If you were using the words of the Spurs players and head coach..."

"Jeff is a nice guy, he’s just too aggressive on defense!"

"Playoff competition is fierce; injuries are inevitable."

"The Spurs don’t like Jeff Foster because they can’t have Jeff Foster."

"I hope they can return to the court soon and continue to put on a great performance. They’re all very talented players, of course, Greg is also a very capable coach!"

Finally, he seriously answered the question: "We clearly warned the Spurs not to play dirty with Indiana, otherwise we’d surely send Tim Duncan out lying down. Since he didn’t believe what we said, naturally, we had to let him know that playing dirty isn’t something only the Spurs can do, it’s just that we have our own bottom line. But for a team as disgusting as theirs, we can be without a bottom line!"

Then he responded to the "Conseco incident":

"The fans’ anger must have a reason, and I think everyone knows what it is. It’s not only the Indiana fans who feel angry; when Ray Allen got injured or when Tracy’s knee was shattered, the fans of those teams were also very angry. No one wants to see such a team win the championship; that would be a desecration of the Auburn Lane Cup! This is something no fan can tolerate!"

"Here, I want to ask the League, this may cost me some money, but I still want to ask: do you really want to see a team that eliminated Ray Allen in the second round of playoffs, Tracy in the Western finals, and Jermaine in the finals win the championship?"

"Believe me, this will definitely lead to other teams imitating them."

"After all, the cost is too low; I only need to use a player making three to four million a year to eliminate your Absolute Core and cause your team to disintegrate instantly!"

"Do you really want the League to become like this?"

"The Spurs, inferior in skill, were unwilling to admit defeat and did things that defy sports ethics! Nonetheless, Indiana’s fans were just protecting the Championship Trophy that should have been ours in the first place."

Finally, the media asked about Bruce Bowen, whom he had hit.

Su Wan’s response was straightforward:

"All of this he owes to Jermaine. If Jermaine suffers serious consequences, please relay a message to this guy for me: this isn’t over!"
