Chapter 426: Chapter 205 The Birth of the Indiana Dynasty_2
Four words to describe it:
Unstoppable!
Su Wan was very confident himself.
Are you kidding? A 39-point lead had been secured, and the next game was still to be played at the Indiana Pacers’ home court. With time, location, and people all on their side, what else was there to say?
Today!
Today!
To leave no stone unturned, Su Wan went as far as to say before Game 6 of the series, "The Lakers are already very strong, and this is our first time reaching Game 6 in the Finals!"
"But it’s time to end it, there’s never been a Game 7 for the Pacers in the Finals!"
With these words out, the entire Pacers team instantly morphed into howling iron wolves.
And it wasn’t just the Pacers players, the fans were the same.
The noise at Conseco Arena tonight hasn’t dipped below 130 decibels, and from before the game, everyone was extremely excited.
Are you kidding? Winning this game would establish a Dynasty for the Pacers!
What does that even mean?
Well, if you exclude the ancient Boston Celtics, in modern basketball history, only the Bulls and Lakers have had a "Dynasty," and among other teams in the League, only the Rockets have conquered back-to-back championships.
Okay, it’s definitely not right to dismiss the "Dynasty" like that.
Even so, just by winning tonight’s game, the Pacers would become the fourth team in NBA history to create a Dynasty.
Since joining the NBA in the 1970s, the Pacers had never achieved such heights.
For this reason...
The court-side seats were brimming with star power tonight.
Pacers’ owners Melvin Simon and Herbert Simon were both present court-side tonight rather than in their preferred VIP boxes.
Tonight, they wanted to feel everything up close.
Additionally, Sharapova also came to witness Su Wan securing his "three consecutive championships."
Unbeknownst to her, it was already June, and she had just finished the Australian Open, Miami, and French Open tours without any notable success, her best achievement being runner-up at the Australian Open.
She really didn’t expect...
That Su Wan would still maintain dominance, slicing his way to what looked like his third Championship Trophy of his career.
That’s just too...
Like him in bed, inhuman!
On the Lakers’ bench, Vujacic also spotted Sharapova.
He was a little shocked.
He knew Sharapova had previously come to see Su play, but after that game, the two merely greeted each other courtside without further interaction. There wasn’t any gossip, so he thought it was a coincidence.
But now, with Sharapova appearing at court-side once again, he couldn’t help but suspect she was here specifically for Su.
He wasn’t the only one with such suspicions; the domestic commentary team also noticed this scene, and Zhang Weiping chuckled, "This isn’t the first time Sharapova has come to watch Su compete!"
The other middle-aged men also laughed, with a look of "instant understanding" on their faces.
When Su Wan entered the court, passing by Sharapova, he slightly raised his brows and then smiled, greeting her openly and giving her a high-five.
This gesture immediately set the cameras whirring, and flashbulbs popped incessantly.
A "golden couple" in sports, oh so tantalizing!
Just this gesture was enough to conjure up 347 different stories about Su Wan and Sharapova that couldn’t be left untold.
Moreover, Reggie Miller wasn’t commentating today; he came to witness the team securing the "three consecutive championships" in person.
In his early retirement, he never imagined the Pacers could make it this far.
It wasn’t that he underestimated Su, but rather...
He didn’t dare to think!
After all, NBA is full of geniuses, with countless standouts, but only two in the modern era had led their teams to "three consecutive championships": Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal.
Su was a freak of nature, but still young.
But unexpectedly...
Su was even more of a freak than he had imagined.
That "three consecutive championships" was about to be realized.
He had to admit, "Buddy, you’ll definitely be the number one in Pacers’ history in the future!"
Su laughed, "Wasn’t I already?"
Then the two embraced, and the photographers captured the scene once more.
As eras transition, there was no better representation of a legacy being passed down than the bond between Su and Reggie Miller.
Even the passing from Tim Duncan to David Robinson in San Antonio back in the day...
Seemed somewhat inferior by comparison.
After all, this Pacers team was just too successful!
Kobe had been scowling since he stepped into Conseco.
And once the entire Pacers team entered the arena, his scowl turned even uglier.
What’s with this damn celebration atmosphere?
Did these Indiana natives think they had already won the NBA Championship?
There was still one more game to play!
Really thought you were guaranteed to win tonight?
Damn it!
Damn it!
Damn it!
There’s nothing Kobe hated more than being underestimated.
At this moment, he was almost engulfed by rage.
In fact, the Pacers fans were somewhat wary of him.
It’s just...
Su had already said it, there was no Game 7 for the Pacers.
They naturally believed it.
Are you kidding? Bringing back the glory of the Pacers’ ABA days was almost accomplished, let alone winning against the pesky Kobe.
Wasn’t that just a matter of gripping it tightly?
The decisive game that determined the Pacers’ fate soon began,
and the cheers from the crowd were strong from the get-go.
