Su Wan was naturally behind this.
Bill Duffy made the calls and pulled together the materials to report Donaghy at Su Wan’s behest.
As Yao Ming’s agent, it was Bill’s job to handle such matters; thus, he did not refuse and was even happy to tackle them. Wouldn’t anyone hope for their client to be even more successful?
In his third professional season, terd the "New OK Combination" alongside McGrady, Yao ought to have shone brighter.
He indeed could have achieved that; they had given the Mavericks a "0-2" start, and then Mark Cuban had sent out the videotapes.
Such "extrajudicial asures" weren’t unusual in NBA history, but it certainly was rare for an owner to get involved personally.
Su Wan could understand Cuban’s urgency.
If the Mavericks could eliminate the Rockets, they would face the Suns in the second round.
Mark Cuban needed this opportunity to prove himself.
And he was willing to do sothing crazy for it.
But Su Wan did not want to watch passively as the Mavericks triumphed with these "extrajudicial asures."
He took action!
Actually, he didn’t do much—he just had Bill Duffy gather evidence and then submit it. Two phone calls, totaling less than 5 minutes.
Speaking of Donaghy, it’s chilling to rember that before becoming an NBA referee, he had refereed in the CBA dostically...
Donaghy could have been a representative of high-level officiating erging from the Huaxia league.
But rather than fulfilling those hopes, he beca a cautionary tale.
Also interestingly, the principal referee of the "Auburn Hills incident" was him.
If Artest had heard the news of Donaghy being taken away, he probably would have embraced him and taken him to a nightclub, calling one of the regular girls he knew. Unfortunately, Su Wan wouldn’t speak of such a thing, nor would Bill Duffy.
The feeling of manipulating everything from behind the scenes was still pretty great.
It felt like being the "big boss behind the curtain."
As a transcender, along with displaying dazzling brilliance, there was another thing, and that was creating a "butterfly effect."
Now that the "butterfly" had flapped its wings, what kind of impact it would generate remained to be seen.
Su Wan didn’t keep following the developnts after that and threw himself into the upcoming series against the Bulls.
Now shifting to Chicago, the young Bulls relaxed visibly on their ho court, which caused so problems for the Pacers, but by the end of the third quarter, they were only ahead by 8 points.
The young Bulls saw hope for a win and started to show strong montum, one stepping up after the other.
The atmosphere of the scene surged with each goal they scored.
But at that mont, Su Wan stepped up, responding continuously, returning the points scored by Ben Gordon, Hinrich, and Luol Deng exactly.
This was undoubtedly the Bulls’ most hopeful ga, but ultimately, under the feat of Su Wan scoring "11" points in the final quarter, the Bulls missed the best opportunity. As the ga ti slowly slipped away, the young players’ impatience erged, and the Bulls made consecutive mistakes, handing over the third series victory on a silver platter.
After the match, watching Su Wan score over 30 points again, the Chicago dia couldn’t help but exclaim, "Why didn’t this guy get 100% of the votes in the ’Rookie of the Year’ poll?"
Ben Gordon was nothing compared to him!
Hmm...
From skepticism to being convinced, it only took three gas.
This proved one thing:
Chicago dia isn’t tough!
All out at first, weaker next, exhausted the third.
The Bulls perfectly embodied this saying.
With a score of 0-3, they were completely devoid of fight, and after a token resistance in the fourth ga, they quickly surrendered.
Su Wan finished his work in three quarters again.
Barkley defended Su Wan, "Such opponents really undermine Su’s stats!"
Across four gas, Su Wan scored over 30 in two gas, averaging 30.6 minutes of play ti per ga, scoring 26.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks...
These were already "Super Star" level stats.
But everyone knew that Su Wan could produce even more spectacular stats, if he stayed on the court...
"Learn well!"
On a close-up shot, Barkley pointed at the big screen, his expression abstract, he shouted. Although he did not specify nas, everyone knew whom he was talking about.
Yet despite this, Su Wan was selected by many dia as the "Player of the Week" in the playoffs’ first round. It wasn’t an honor that ca with a trophy, but it still demonstrated how brilliant Su Wan’s performance in the first round was.
Of course, the sour dia were still there diminishing Su Wan, such as Detroit’s dia saying bluntly, "Su performs well among rookies, very well indeed; that’s why he got the Rookie of the Year, he just proved that again!"
The implication was:
What does performing well against a "fresh recruit" like the Bulls represent?
Co to Detroit, and let the Pistons show you what the "playoffs" really are!
The Pacers were the dominant team in the first round, but Detroit dia felt no pressure, and the Pistons smoothly eliminated the Philadelphia 76ers containing Allen Iverson in a 4-1 series.
Larry Brown had the last laugh in this "master vs. apprentice" contest.
And the Philadelphia 76ers had not only Allen Iverson but also the forr "King" Chris Webber, whose paper strength seed robust to most dia, even championship calibre in Detroit dia’s view.
