Chapter 306: Chapter 180 Absolutely Do Not Trash Talk Him_7

"Why does he suddenly have a ’Star Whistle’?"

Fortunately, not only does Su Wan have a whistle, but Wade has one too.

Almost every point made by Su Wan was matched by Wade.

The two teams remained deadlocked like this, finishing the third quarter.

Su Wan had already scored 30 points, but Wade had also scored 25 points. Add to that, the Heat Team’s incredibly successful defense against the others today meant they led by 6 points entering the fourth quarter.

Shaquille O’Neal avoided the Pacers’ "Small Lineup," playing less than 4 minutes in the third quarter before he was benched.

But since the "Small Lineup" didn’t narrow the gap during that time, Dior and Calderon had to rest again at the start of the fourth, giving Shaquille O’Neal the perfect opportunity to perform.

Two consecutive strong plays, scoring, helped the Heat Team extend the lead to 10 points.

There were 6 minutes and 34 seconds left in the fourth quarter.

An excited Shaquille O’Neal shouted to Su Wan, "Su Wan, it’s not me who needs teammates, it’s you. Without your teammates’ support, you really can’t win. The regular season MVP shouldn’t be yours, hand it over to Dirk!"

You ask why he’s "popping the champagne at halftime"?

First, he felt sure it was in the bag; second, he’d been relentlessly mocked by the media these days, becoming a burden for the Heat Team. Now finally came his chance for revenge. Although there was still some time left in the game, he just couldn’t wait.

And he believed, with Wade around, a 10-point lead was enough for them to strut.

Su Wan just gave him a look, and didn’t say anything.

But Shaquille suddenly shuddered for no reason. Su Wan’s icy gaze seemed to say:

Are you trash-talking me?

Good!

Very good!

Just you wait!

He didn’t know why, but after briefly making eye contact with Su Wan, these thoughts just popped into his head.

Don’t be scared, Shaquille, your team is leading by 10 points, and you’ve got Dwayne, no problem, definitely no problem.

But just as he had reassured himself, he saw Su Wan, ball in hand, make a series of Body Front Changes, shaking Wade off to the side.

Wade’s face was full of surprise; he had been dueling Su Wan for three full quarters. Although his fatigue was greater than Su Wan’s, as he was also dealing with the exhaustion from Artest, he couldn’t believe that Su Wan could still make such moves in the fourth.

Wasn’t this guy just gasping for air?

How could he move like...

Wade was caught off guard, and Haslem was even more so; he had intended to double-team with Wade to stop Su Wan, who was about to charge the basket, but as soon as he saw Su Wan rush in, he moved forward immediately. It was only after he stepped out that he realized something was amiss.

Wade...

Why was he shaken off?

Su Wan charged into the paint; it would be too aggressive and full of openings for him to confront this.

"Doot!"

But just as these thoughts flashed through Haslem’s mind, Su Wan was upon him, rubbing against his body as he continued to drive inside. Fouled by Haslem and getting the whistle from the referee, he laid up off the glass, easily scoring and earning a "2 plus 1" chance.

Is this what Wade feels like when he plays?

Damn, that’s exhilarating!

No wonder LeBron always likes to charge inside at crucial moments, knowing the whistle will blow, performing actions without any psychological burden.

Isn’t a 2 plus 1 just a piece of cake?

"Su Wan, going to the free throw line for the 14th time this game, the referees are insane, they just want the Heat Team to lose tonight!" the commentator desperately shouted, igniting a tidal wave of boos.

Su Wan sneered inwardly.

This guy only mentioned that he got 14 free throws tonight, never mentioning that Wade stood on the free throw line 12 times as well.

Otherwise, why would Wade be the only person this season who Su Wan, Artest, and little O’Neal together couldn’t contain?

Isn’t it because his playoff whistle is fiercer than LeBron’s?

A bunch of officials who allow themselves to set fires, but won’t let the citizens light lamps!

They’re used to receiving preferential treatment. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

But sorry, we are one of you too!

"Swish!"

The bonus free throw was solidly hit.

Su Wan glanced at Shaquille O’Neal again, still not speaking.

But Shaquille’s pupils trembled slightly, full of unrest.

On the Heat Team’s response, Payton initially wanted Shaquille, who had just scored consecutively, to continue the offense.

But Shaquille thought about it and decided to give the chance to Wade instead.

In times like these, better to let the more reliable person take it.

Payton was stunned.

This was not the Shaquille he remembered.

And Shaquille himself probably didn’t notice that, although he usually only verbally placed himself in the "second-in-command" role, emphasizing that Wade was the real leader of the team, now, he truly relegated himself to that position in his heart.

Full of Pippen-like timidity.

Wade requested the ball and called for a clear out.

This time, Su Wan was the one who defended him.

Just like when guarding Kobe, Su Wan herded Wade toward the "encirclement."

Artest rushed over in time to form a double team.

This time the double team was very successful. It wasn’t the first time the Pacers tried this tactic on Wade in the game, but Wade had always managed to squeeze through the gap between the two defenders. Sensing Su Wan’s intent this time, he planned to "turn the tables," but Su Wan’s speed was faster than ever.

What the hell is this?

Is it that "The Zone"?
