Chapter 496: Chapter 219: Do you want to ruin the efforts of a whole season for all of us by yourself? _2

When the media discusses which city’s fans are the hardest to please, they often overlook the fans in Detroit.

Because it’s desolate here, there truly isn’t anything worthy of attention.

But actually, if we’re talking about the NBA’s most disgusting fans, the Pistons’ fans should rank at the top of the list.

Perhaps it’s the hostility brought on by economic depression, every Pistons fan’s life is filled with dissatisfaction, and their tempers are incredibly explosive.

This is one of the ten cities with the worst public safety in All over the United States.

Guns are rampant, and drugs are overflowing.

So much so that their mental state is very sensitive.

They long for revenge against Su Wan.

Now, watching their team fall to 1-3 against Su Wan yet again!

Extreme Detroit people began to question Chauncey Billups and the others, "Why haven’t you died yet?"

General Manager Joe Dumars was just observing this scene in the player’s tunnel.

It reminded him of 16 years ago.

A significant reason the "Bad Kids Army" disbanded was also due to an irreconcilable relationship with the fans.

To some extent, that Pistons team was rebuilt amidst the cursing of Detroit people.

The scene now seemed just like a repeat of yesterday...

Nevertheless, Joe Dumars knew, the big boss witnessing the fans’ rage would definitely choose to compromise again, letting him make trades.

After all, for the Pistons, ticket revenue forms a substantial part of their income.

They’re the team in the League most reliant on their fans, which means they need to please these fans even more.

The Pacers still rolled out their starting lineup tonight featuring Zach Randolph and Millsap as the Twin Towers.

Playoffs are like this, as long as one lineup works wonders and the other side can’t handle it, then it’s a lineup you can keep using till the end.

However, tonight’s lineup didn’t have as much impact as in the previous two games.

Not because the Pistons had found a way to limit it.

But rather because Zach Randolph and Millsap themselves experienced fluctuations in form.

This is normal.

After all, this is Randolph’s first time in the playoff semi-finals, and he’s just a "Data Brush"; Millsap, needless to say, is a sophomore rookie who has never taken on such an important role for the team before.

The excitement produced results in the first game.

Then gradually, as opponents adapted to some extent, performance naturally "receded."

This is much like hitting the "rookie wall."

But once they get over that hurdle, it’s a whole new world.

Simply put, Su Wan is now in a position of "leading the new," even though he’s only 22 years old...

But clearly, the Pistons on their side were visibly disturbed by the home crowd.

For these old-timers, no matter how much the away fans cursed, they would have no reaction, they might even feel like laughing. Yet hearing fans who had cheered for them over the past few seasons suddenly change their attitude was undoubtedly a blow to them.

Billups even experienced a case of missing wide-open shots.

Which provoked yet another round of loud boos.

Distinct shouts came from the sideline seating area, "Chauncey, you’re the weakest Finals MVP in the NBA!"

During that instant, Su Wan saw the tremor in Chauncey Billups’ eyes.

Although many in the media had referred to him in this way, Chauncey Billups clearly did not expect to hear a Detroit fan say that about him.

Ultimately, the somewhat somber Game 5 of the series ended with the Pacers, in poorer form, beating an even more out-of-sorts Pistons team 91 to 80.

Having won the game, the Pacers also comfortably beat the Pistons with a large score of 4-1, advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals for the fourth consecutive season...

This was a result Indiana natives couldn’t have imagined three months ago.

Back then, with little O’Neal out for the season and Artest clamoring to be traded, all Pacers fans thought the season was over.

But unexpectedly...

Su Wan, even having been "stripped of two arms," led the Pacers into the Eastern Conference Finals once again.

"What do I feel? I can only say, having hands is enough!"

After the game, facing reporters, Su Wan’s light-hearted comment ignited the media’s opinion the next day.

He’d done it again!

But there was no choice, because in the four years Wan entered the NBA, the worst postseason result to date was the championship, right?

Moreover, this season they’ve made it into the Eastern Conference Finals again.

This time around, Su Wan was without little O’Neal and without Artest!

Yet he still did it...

If this isn’t "having hands is enough," then what is it?

Other than saying "Well Played," they couldn’t criticize him at all.

Even more so, those shocked that Su Wan once again led his team to the Eastern Conference Finals weren’t only from Indiana Media.

Media from outside were equally stunned.

Su Wan’s leadership ability truly exceeded their imagination.

In fact, if not for the improvement of Su Wan’s Field of View, the Pacers would not have been able to win so easily.

Su Wan gained a better ability to distribute the ball, which was key to completing the last piece needed to become a "historic-level Swingman."

This is the most terrifying thing about promising young superstars:

They can still improve!

No one knows their limit!

Barkley said it this way, "We often say that the sky’s the limit to describe a player’s potential, but in my view, the sky is far from Su Wan’s limit; his limit is in the universe, in space! We should call him ’Universe Su,’ ’Space Su’—it’s really unbelievable!"

Well, what was expected came after all...

Su Wan inevitably became ’Space Su’!
