Chapter 308: Chapter 181 Shaquille, Maybe It’s Time to Retire

shots made out of 15, three-point shots 5 out of 3, free throws 17 out of 15, scoring a total of 48 points, and additionally 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 4 steals, and 1 block.

Among those, he got 18 points in the final quarter alone!

Helping the team come back from a 10-point deficit, they clinched this crucial game. — If the Pacers had lost this game again, the overall score would have been tied at 2 to 2, the importance of which is self-explanatory.

This was the first time Su Wan had pushed himself to the limits this season, 20 seconds before the game ended, he heard the system warning him that he would soon exit "The zone" mode.

Luckily, in the last 10 seconds, the opponents had already given up the struggle, and Su Wan just had to stand there.

If he still had to run back and forth, he would have probably fallen down the moment he took a step.

Facing Wade, he had made numerous extreme moves, and now the aftereffects were all manifesting in his body.

And these aftereffects grew increasingly stronger.

As the buzzer sounded, Su Wan felt a load lift off his entire body, then involuntarily leaned sideways, where Artest and Little O’Neal swiftly caught him.

Erin captured this moment in a photo.

Pat Riley saw this scene, subconsciously looked up at a jersey hanging above in the stadium, and felt even more eager.

Seeing Su Wan in this state, Rick Carlisle hurried forward to show his concern, thinking: Is this guy’s physical fitness actually good or not?

He was even more puzzled now!

minutes later, Su Wan sat in the visiting team’s locker room, both feet dipped in ice buckets, body wrapped with ice packs, even on his knees, finally easing the burning sensation in his body.

Before the reporters could start asking questions, they kept taking photos, recording this moment of Su Wan.

A great performance needed a poignant visual.

Su Wan’s individualistic heroics tonight were just what Americans loved.

They loved this styling even more!

The sight alone allowed people to speculate much:

He must have been tired a long time ago, right?

The will to win kept him going until the end, which was why he delivered such a perfect performance.

This guy’s willpower is simply extraordinary!

During the question session, a reporter referred to what Shaquille O’Neal had just said in an interview, "Shaquille thinks it’s because he trash-talked you after being 10 points ahead, that he faced such a major comeback. What do you have to say about that? You got 18 points in the final quarter, all starting from Shaquille trash-talking. Did his words touch you and make you want to win even more?"

"Everyone gets angry when someone trash-talks them, and I’m no exception; it indeed makes one want to perform well, so just like Shaquille said, don’t trash-talk me, or you’re going to suffer badly!" Su Wan said jokingly, making all the reporters laugh.

"Shaquille was overpowered by you; does this mean the grudge between you two is over?" asked another reporter.

Su Wan shook his head, "No, even though he started the war, when it ends is up to me!"

Jokingly, how could he easily let go of this "Fat Head Shark"?

Impossible!

He must severely dent that pomposity.

The next morning, Su Wan’s 48 points became a hot topic all over the United States.

Many media outlets described last night’s performance as "The Divine Enthronement".

It was just too sensational!

A single person, in a matter of minutes, turned around a 10-point lead of the opponent.

Not just his own scoring, but also those two steals against Wade and Shaquille O’Neal.

Bill Walton said at the time, "In those two rounds, Su Wan made Dwayne and Shaquille look like they were not even in the same league as him!"

And take Pat Riley!

He went through the "show time" era, saw the prime Michael Jordan — he is the "living NBA history"; after this game, he said, "Tonight it was as if Michael Jordan was playing on the court wearing a Pacers’ No. 99 jersey," showing how stunned he was.

Then there’s Shaquille O’Neal, famous for being petty in the league, and his conflict with Su Wan is well-known. To make him say such a thing under these circumstances shows how deeply last night’s performance must have impacted him.

Furthermore, Su Wan’s "The zone" once again sparked a heated discussion.

All media were guessing whether Su Wan had entered that state again.

Then, in Erin’s latest interview, they got their answer.

Su Wan indeed had entered that state!

"When I want to win, I can feel my attention becoming focused."

This was a topic Su Wan wouldn’t mention in front of other media; fellow journalists envied Erin’s privileged access.

With the "Su Wan buff" helping her, Erin, who had just signed a 2-year contract last year, got renewed by ESPN on an even larger contract for 3 years and $5 million. In the journalism field, her contract placed her among the top tier.

And in this position, every other person was a veteran in the industry.

Though her status at ESPN had risen over the past year and her network had expanded considerably, compared to other journalists with similar contracts, she primarily got this lucrative deal thanks to Su Wan.

Erin was well aware of this; after signing the contract, the first thing she did was report to Su Wan.
