Chapter 502: Chapter 220 Who Exactly Said ’Trash Talk’ to Su Wan?!_3

After all, Jordan getting 63 points is really impressive, but since the Green Army could still win the game despite him scoring 63 points, it means everything is under control. Jordan can’t possibly score 63 points every game...

It’s just that there are more die-hard fans at North Shore Garden, otherwise, the hit Boston fans would probably be leaving the arena one after another by now!

The Celtics’ "Three Giants" plus one Rajon Rondo were sitting in a row.

Nobody was saying anymore that Paul Pierce didn’t make a mistake.

Damn, releasing such a "Demon King," how can you even play!

Even for Rajon Rondo, he wanted to say, "Bro, please don’t jinx us next time!"

Paul Pierce’s thoughts were still on the recent court play with Su Wan hitting a three-pointer to extend the lead over thirty points, with Su Wan directly standing with a finger on his lips, gesturing a "shut up" sign at him.

The insult wasn’t severe, but enormously humiliating!

The last quarter was exceptionally tough to endure.

What provided some relief to Rivers was that the "Three Giants" along with Rajon Rondo all agreed:

Absolutely do not trash-talk Su Wan!

The external media watched with amazement as Su Wan scored 48 points in the first three quarters of the Eastern Conference Finals’ first game, helping his team ultimately crush the Celtics by 26 points, exclaiming in shock that Su Wan was terrifying:

"Just how many more surprises is this guy going to bring us?"

"OMG, this is definitely the most influential player in the current active roster!"

"Is Su Wan really only 23 years old? What kind of monster is he!"

"Is Indiana going to make it into the Finals for four consecutive times?"

...

Even a significant portion of the media believed that even if the Pacers only won this game and got eliminated 1-4, no one would question Su Wan’s ability.

From any perspective, the Boston Celtics were supposed to be the team with stronger on-paper capabilities by far!

Before the first game even started, many media outlets believed the Pacers were going to lose by at least ten points.

But unexpectedly, not only did the Pacers win, but they won by over twenty points!

The level of dominance Su Wan showed in that game was terrifying.

Consider that he not only got 48 points but also had 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.

Barkley couldn’t help but comment, "Why couldn’t Su just get two more points? Just one more basket would have given him 50 points. I absolutely believe that by the end of Su Wan’s career, he will be the player with the most scores between 48 to 50 points in the league!"

From what he recalled, such events had already happened several times.

He’s that typical "OCD killer"!

But what Barkley didn’t know was that Su Wan was quite relieved that Rivers had chosen to wave the "white flag," because at that time, he was nearly at his limit.

Returning to the bench and putting a towel over his head, bowing down was also to hide the tired look on his face that he couldn’t cover up after "The zone" mode had ended.

Previously, he didn’t want to get 50 points; this time, he really couldn’t get them.

The intensity of Eastern Conference Finals level games was just too much.

Even though Su Wan conserved his physical fitness, "The zone" only lasted for 2 quarters.

Luckily for the Celtics, it was their first time facing Su Wan under "The zone" mode, plus Su Wan changed his style of play, and Rivers’ timely surrender. Otherwise... whose prey it would become was still uncertain!

Had the Celtics executed an "Extreme comeback," the Pacers would likely have only been left with the prospect of being swept clean.

However, this was essentially the team that was the season’s defending champion.

The difficulty was laid out there, and with the current roster of the Pacers, just Su Wan entering "The zone" was not enough to take them down by himself; it required some fortunate coincidences to work!

This "The zone," in terms of upper limit, indeed isn’t as powerful as the "Reverse Melancholy Little Prince Badge."

However, the "Reverse Melancholy Little Prince Badge" also has its problems—it’s too taxing on teammates...

Two days later, the second game of the Eastern Conference series continued on the Celtics’ home court.

From the start, one could tell the Celtics, under the three "old guys" leadership, were all in good form, completely unaffected by the 32-point loss in the previous game.

Also, in this game Paul Pierce stayed quiet in front of Su Wan, no matter how Su Wan provoked him, his mouth seemed taped shut, adamantly refusing to respond.

Since Su Wan couldn’t activate "The zone" mode, and Randolph was still heavily restricted in this game, the Celtics managed to keep a 10-point lead into the second quarter and smoothly maintained this lead until the end of the game.

to 89!

The Celtics tied the series.

The overall score morphed to 1-1, easing Paul Pierce’s expression a bit.

In his view, he hadn’t caused a disaster.

God knows the pressure he was under after losing the first game of the series; he even suffered insomnia until dawn that night. Tossing and turning in bed, his eyes would only close for his exhausted mind to incessantly spring up with the same thought:

"What if we lose the second game too?"

"What if we lose the second game too?"

...

Fortunately, they won in the end!

And he realized, as long as they didn’t throw any trash talk at Su Wan, and prevent him from entering that damned "The zone" mode, the Pacers’ strength was clearly lower than theirs, and the Celtics could smoothly clinch the victory.

So...

Just keep your mouth shut!
