Chapter 420: Chapter 204 Defense Wins the Championship!!!

Sure thing!

That’s what you get!

Warned you not to spew "trash talk" at Su Wan, but you still wanted to challenge the limits, didn’t you? Well, look where that got you.

Power cut!

Phil Jackson watched as Kobe was faked out, falling to the ground and even sliding backward a bit, only to stare helplessly as Su Wan completed a three-point game-winning shot in front of him.

And let’s say...

Not only was he not angry, but he also found it immensely satisfying!

You wanted to be stubborn, now you’ve hit an iron wall, haven’t you?

Let’s see if you dare to throw "trash talk" at Su Wan again!

He didn’t see the intense desire for battle and the desire for revenge growing even stronger in Kobe’s eyes.

But Kobe’s expression didn’t last too long as, whoosh, a group of people darted past him and headed straight for Su Wan.

Kobe, who was still sitting on the ground, didn’t even know which two people had picked him up, forcing him to join the celebration.

The venue was filled with various cheers and shouts, which eventually unified into three letters:

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

Su Wan, once again, saved Indiana.

The Finals with a big score of 2-0!

This meant that even if the Pacers lost all three of the following games, they would still have a chance to return home and turn defeat into victory.

At the same time, this meant...

Unless the League gave Kobe an extra game, there was no way he could lift the Championship Trophy in front of the Los Angeles people this season!

After the game, Su Wan quipped at Kobe, "I told you, Kobe was just cracking a bad joke!"

Kobe, with a stern face, accepted the interview. The taste of being killed at the buzzer was of course something that got more infuriating the more he thought about it. When a reporter asked him to comment on Su Wan’s "three-point game-winning shot," he replied irritably, "You know it’s a game-winner, so what more is there to say?"

Is there any game-winner that’s not spectacular?

Even a wide-open mid-range kill is a "highlight shot" that couldn’t be any better!

Moreover, Su Wan made the shot after faking out Kobe.

David Stern personally witnessed this moment.

And he called his contacts in the media right at the end of the game, "I think you should know how to promote Su Wan’s kill!"

From any angle, this shot was reminiscent of Michael Jordan’s "last shot."

Jordan in ’98 shook off Russell.

What Su Wan shook off was even more remarkable, and very special, asides from being the league’s number one active guard, he was also "Jordan’s Successor"...

With so many factors intertwined, David Stern believed it was enough to become a historic classic shot in the NBA Finals.

And the timing of this shot was too coincidental.

From 1998 to 2007...

That’s exactly a decade!

An era!

Therefore, the next morning, the news of Su Wan shaking Kobe with a game-winning shot exploded across the United States.

This was a true nationwide sensation.

Any media outlet with a sports section reported on Su Wan’s "kill" this time.

The New York Times believed, "With this shot, Su Wan has officially opened the doors to the Divine King’s Palace. Mount Olympus of the NBA must now make room for him!"

Sports Illustrated thought, "This is the most shocking game-winner of the 2000s, no, the most shocking shot!"

ESPN, using a picture taken by Erin, compared it to Jordan’s final shot in ’98, with a simple headline: "God Descends on Conseco!"

And these reports further elevated Su Wan’s influence.

Su Wan’s Facebook followers reached 1.5 million, and Twitter gained 500,000 followers overnight.

More than two hundred thousand fans downloaded Twitter just for Su Wan.

As for the various endorsements that came rushing in, they were too numerous to count.

That day, it was as if Indiana had already won the championship.

And this was just the madness on the American side.

Back home in Huaxia.

The servers of the forums were jammed on the same day.

All sorts of news were reporting on Su Wan extensively.

If the American media were comparing Su Wan’s shot to Jordan, the media here were more direct, as the nickname "Huaxia Jordan" spread like wildfire.

Basketball fans were incredibly excited.

As for soccer fans... they were only beginning to watch as the basketball community produced Superstars one after another. A Yao Ming was one thing, but now even "Jordan" had appeared. They immediately felt as if "a divine star has descended," foreseeing that since basketball has such stars, perhaps football was about to birth its own "Ronaldo."

Only the true Su Wan fans knew that if Su Wan found out he was being called "Huaxia Jordan," he definitely wouldn’t be pleased.

Fine if foreign media called him that!

Don’t domestic media have any sense?

What "Huaxia Jordan"?

You might as well call Jordan "American Su Wan!"

Did 22-year-old Jordan know what a championship ring looked like?

Not to mention that "Brother Su" was just two victories away from lifting "three consecutive championships!"

Nike went completely nuts.

Su Wan’s shot sent Nike’s stock soaring by 4%!

LeBron James’s losses over the years were all earned back with Su Wan’s "game-winning shot."

Of course, all thanks to Kobe’s "cooperation!"

Without such a heavyweight opponent, where would such a tremendous shock come from, right?

Nike immediately added another filming crew for Su Wan to gather more material...

After this game-winning shot that shocked the United States, they clearly realized that Su Wan’s miracle-like "Rookie Three-Peat" was nearly a fact!

This summer, they had to shoot a second documentary for Su Wan...

They had already thought of a name for it, called "The Road to Godliness"!

Actually, since before the Finals began, Nike had already dispatched a professional filming team to follow Su Wan throughout the finals in the arena. But after this game-winning shot, they suddenly felt that their level of focus on Su Wan had still not been enough.
