The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!
Chapter 477 - 215: Shall I kowtow for you, Su?_3

Chapter 477: Chapter 215: Shall I kowtow for you, Su?_3

He only scored 8 points and grabbed 5 rebounds in the game.

His stats had drastically shrunk.

No wonder he wasn’t happy!

What frustrated him more was that he wanted to vent his depression but then realized there was nothing but cornfields around; where could he find any entertainment cities?

He certainly couldn’t go to a cornfield to enact "a bear shucking corn" to vent his inner dissatisfaction, could he?

This kind of life continued for three or four games.

Finally, Randolph couldn’t stand it anymore, and he sought out Su Wan again, looking fierce, "Why are you singling me out?"

There were other people in the locker room; everyone looked up at Randolph and Su Wan.

Su Wan just sat there, staring him down, but in the end, it was Randolph who became intimidated first.

He looked away from the stare-down with Su Wan.

"Don’t think I’m targeting you, Zach, I know you want to put up numbers!" Su Wan pointed to the other people in the locker room, "Don’t they want to?"

Randolph was at a loss for words.

Who wouldn’t want to put up numbers?

That’s real money we’re talking about here!

"So, since we’re all fighting for stats, why wouldn’t I give those opportunities to teammates who train harder and are more willing to cooperate on the court?" Su Wan asked seriously, "What do you think? Zach!"

"..." Randolph’s first impulse was to snap back "Who says you get to call the shots?"

But he knew what the response waiting for him would be:

This is Indiana!

The three championship banners hanging above Conseco Arena left him speechless.

Su Wan continued, "Zach, you have only one option laid out in front of you: train well, play well, integrate into this team, and then your stats will naturally look good!"

"Of course, you can keep resisting, choose not to play; no, you don’t need to choose. If you continue to be uncooperative, you’ll slowly lose even the chance to play!"

"You might think just get through this season, but let me tell you, Zach, don’t be delusional. As long as I don’t give in, Larry Bird will definitely not trade you!"

"Let me think, how many years are left on your contract? Two years? Three years?"

"I’m very curious to see how long you can last, Zach!"

"Damn it!"

Su Wan’s arrogant demeanor made Randolph unconsciously clench his fist, a look of "wanting to kill for relief" on his face. The other people in the locker room immediately became tense. Su Wan stood up at this moment, his sudden movement made Randolph unconsciously step back, looking at Su Wan warily.

"Looks like you want to fight?" Su Wan flexed his fists and shouted to a few others in the locker room, "You guys go out and close the door behind you!"

Seeing Su Wan apparently wanting to send the others away, leaving just the two of them to fight in "an octagonal cage", Randolph swore under his breath, "Madman!"

Then he left the locker room as though fleeing.

Su Wan looked at his flustered back, sneering and shaking his head, then sitting down and sighing helplessly:

Indeed!

The bully fears the braver.

The braver curses those who don’t care for life!

But what could he do?

Soon everyone would know, Zach Randolph was his choice.

If Randolph was still the same "lazy husband" as in New York, he wouldn’t be able to afford the loss of face.

One’s glory is all’s glory; one’s loss is all’s loss.

Since we’re all tied to the same fate, don’t blame me for being tough.

What? freewёbnoνel-com

Speak nicely, and maybe he’ll listen?

Don’t joke.

Is the character shaped by cities like Portland and New York that easy to change?

Su Wan could talk all he wanted, but after all, it wasn’t some divine ability that could make things happen with just a word. He’d never imagined that a few sentences of "chicken soup" could make Zach Randolph have a "reformed" turnaround. But everyone has a weakness.

Do we need to mention what Randolph’s weakness as a "Data Brush" is?

Not being able to produce impressive stats is his biggest worry.

After all, his reputation isn’t good, and if he doesn’t have stats to back him up, let alone getting a big contract, staying in the league would be a problem.

For someone like him who came out of the slums to become a "millionaire," enjoying life while also being afraid of one day getting knocked back down to square one.

If he wants to stay in the league and keep signing big contracts, cooperating with Su Wan is his only choice...

After all, this is Indiana!

Especially since he’s a big man.

Su Wan had a thousand ways to make sure he didn’t touch the ball the entire game.

Of course, he could also choose to complain about Su Wan’s "inhumanity" to the media.

But who is it? The absolute leader of the Pacers, a phenomenon-level rookie who has led the team to three consecutive championships and has never had any off-the-court issues. And on the other side, a notorious figure, busted by the police for racing cars and smoking marijuana, a "Data Brush" who manages to create drama wherever he goes...

Whose side do you think the media and public opinion would favor?

In the end, Randolph would only humiliate himself further, tarnishing his reputation even more, and he would still end up sitting on the cold bench.

Therefore, from the moment Su Wan decided on Randolph, he already envisioned Randolph behaving and playing in Indiana.

It just...

Required patience!

After this quarrel, the fleeing Randolph continued to be tough, and Su Wan didn’t indulge him: he had Rick Carlisle put him on the inactive list with the reason listed as special circumstances.

For a while, the media outside was abuzz with speculation.

Some said Randolph must have violated discipline again; others thought that Randolph’s lazy attitude could very likely lead to a team suspension; and there were even rumors that Randolph must have fought with a teammate, and this wasn’t the first or second time...
