The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!
Chapter 321 - 184: Demand for a Urine Test?

Chapter 321: Chapter 184: Demand for a Urine Test?

At American Airlines Arena, silence reigned.

Faced with Su Wan’s domineering response, they found themselves speechless.

Without exaggeration, tonight was supposed to be their night of revelry, but because of Su Wan, they experienced what is called "a rollercoaster of emotions from heaven one second to hell the next."

Looking at the close-up shot of Su Wan on the big screen, they suddenly remembered how the Dallas media dubbed him the "Regular Season MVP Thief."

If that were true...

Then what does it make Dirk Nowitzki, who was contained and even shut down by Artest, only to face Su Wan’s block in the final moments, and stood at the free throw line managing just one successful free throw out of two?

Their unswerving belief in Dirk Nowitzki was shaken tonight. Facing Su Wan, even these Dallas people had to admit:

Dirk was completely outplayed!

Utterly devastated.

Artest and the younger O’Neal watched Su Wan’s gestures and felt the man explode with dominance. After exchanging a look, they too mimicked Su Wan’s gesture towards the stands.

No!

It wasn’t just them!

The rest of the Pacers did the same.

No wonder they harbored such resentment towards Dallas.

The fans here were just too damn infuriating!

Of course, if we were to talk about racism, European football takes the crown with their extreme behaviors, even throwing bananas onto the pitch is seen as child’s play.

But that doesn’t mean these Dallas people deserve forgiveness.

Barkley, observing the Pacers’ collective "throat-slitting" gesture, nodded, "A 4-1 scoreline, this is indeed a massacre of Dallas!"

Kenny Smith added, "Not just physically, but mentally too!"

Just look at the numb expressions of these Dallas players.

One by one, they trudged off the court like zombies.

There was no communication between them whatsoever.

It was as if they weren’t teammates, merely fellow travelers on the path to the underworld.

Leading by 15 points into the fourth quarter, and even with less than 5 minutes remaining, they were up by 12, everyone thought victory was in their grasp and that at least tonight, they would defend their home turf.

But the turn of events was so abrupt and unexpected.

Su Wan’s onslaught was like a flood and fierce beast, devouring them without leaving any scraps, and in the process, crushing their confidence.

The Pacers huddled together, celebrating their convincing victory.

They didn’t bother with theatrics of mutual admiration with the Mavericks players in front of the media.

This wasn’t directed at the Mavericks players, who all deserved respect.

Without any dirty tricks or biased officiating, this was a series played in the purest form. Even having decimated them, Su Wan was willing to call them "opponents."

But the fans of this city, you couldn’t really grow fond of them.

Since they carried themselves with such arrogance, then there was nothing to be said; the Pacers could treat them with the same arrogant attitude.

Su Wan even thought to spoil with a line:

"Feeling despair? Don’t rush, your moment of true despair is far from arriving!"

This "come from behind" act was just the opener, the real climax is yet to come!

Su Wan took a deep look at the departing Dallas people and smiled as he donned the championship jersey.

Before long, David Stern appeared with the O’Brien Cup in front of them.

After a year, seeing the glimmering Championship Trophy again, Su Wan’s heart was still filled with intense excitement.

Every time he saw this Championship Trophy, it represented another layer added to his glory.

At the end of the day, NBA players fight to the end to flash their fingers, counting who has the most rings.

Everything else is just a bonus.

Su Wan read a story once.

The Celtics, with their eight consecutive championships, became so numb to victory that they mechanically lifted the Championship Trophy, and even in the locker room, they were too lethargic to open the celebratory champagne.

He really liked that story and hoped one day he’d be able to experience that feeling of winning the championship to the point of exhaustion.

Of course, for him, he was just starting to enjoy the wonderful feeling of back-to-back championships. That numbness towards winning, he still had a long way to go.

"I declare, the team crowned the NBA 05-06 season champions is... the Indiana Pacers, let’s congratulate them!"

Amid David Stern’s announcement, Su Wan, as the team representative, held the Championship Trophy high.

By this time, the stands had already cleared out quite a bit, from the packed seats at the start of the game to hardly one in ten remaining, with just a few thousand people standing in the stands.

This was the Dallas Mavericks’ first Finals journey in their history.

The result was a hasty end with a 1-4 series score. And it was after they won one game, giving the Dallas fans boundless hope, they collapsed, losing four straight games.

They did finally get to see the O’Brien Cup in their arena, but it was engraved with:

Indiana Pacers!

The atmosphere at the venue was not lively, but rather filled with a sense of melancholy. However, thousands of miles away at Conseco Arena, at that moment, a massive roar erupted, and in the eyes of all Indiana people, there was uncontainable joy.

They, just like Dallas, experienced a complete emotional transformation.

They thought they would have to wait for the next game to determine the winner, but unexpectedly, Su Wan once again became the "last-quarter assassin" and helped the team complete an unbelievable comeback.
