"He destroyed us by himself; it was his night," said Billups, speaking of Su Wan’s performance, genuinely impressed.
"What else can be said? Hats off to him, beyond that, I have nothing to add," Hamilton remarked on Su Wan’s performance, also filled with respect.

"He had a stronger desire to win than us, you could see it in his eyes," Prince evaluated Su Wan.
"It has sothing to do with Larry not being there, but in my view, even if Larry had been on the sideline, it wouldn’t have made any difference. I don’t want to make excuses; he put on a perfect performance," Rashid Wallace said eventually, shaking his head slightly. It would be an unforgettable playoff ga in his career.
"He was celebrating his advancent; him making that gesture is for the League to judge. As for him making such a gesture, if I had won a series like that, I’d also have so excessive gestures to celebrate. But that doesn’t an we’ve given up; we’ll co back, for sure," Ben Wallace said about Su Wan’s "double-handed strangulation," this ti his tone was very calm and his comnts very objective.
In the post-match interviews, the attitude of the "Five Tigers" of the Pistons was very unified:
Tonight, we were convincingly beaten!
Big Ben Wallace’s bones are slightly harder; he’s still thinking about revenge tomorrow.
And that is "Big Ben," naturally, the epito of inspiration, it is impossible for him to easily admit defeat.
On the Pacers side, there was high praise for Su Wan as well.
Rick Carlisle openly said, "I think now I can understand the joy Phil Jackson felt when coaching Michael Jordan and Shaquille O’Neal."
"When Su Wan wants to win, no one can stop him!" exclaid Artest.
Even after shooting 0 for 7 from the three-point line, Stephen Jackson confessed, "Tonight, I almost beca the team’s villain, but fortunately, we have Su Wan, an unbelievable guy!"
"During the final monts, Rick actually asked Su what we should do. He told us, just to quietly appreciate his performance and give applause at the right tis; it was truly a perfect show!" cheered little O’Neal.
"Encountering Su Wan in my career is a fortunate thing!" said Reggie Miller.
He was well aware if the Pistons had really made it through tonight, the subsequent gas would beco progressively tougher, certainly filled with uncertainty. You cannot allow the defending champions, teetering on the edge of a cliff, to see a chance for survival; that would only invite their most ferocious counterattack.
A reporter asked about Su Wan’s post-ga actions: "Did you expect him to make that (Locking Throat) gesture?"
Reggie Miller laughed, "Actually, when he replicated Big Bird’s classic monts on the court ti and again, I knew that one day it would be my turn. So, when I saw that gesture, I wasn’t surprised; I just said to myself, see, the day has co!"
"No issues, that gesture will make many fans rember him. Ending the ga with the Pistons with such a gesture couldn’t be more appropriate."
"But that gesture has already been banned by the League, I’m sure he will receive a fine. Will you pay the fine for him?"
"Of course," Reggie Miller agreed without hesitation.
During the interview, Su Wan learned from a reporter that Reggie Miller was prepared to pay his fine. He showed an expression that suggested it was only right: "I’m glad he’s co to that realization. After all, if it weren’t for him, how would I have known about such a celebratory gesture? He corrupted a blank slate rookie; that’s his punishnt."
Pfft, you blank slate!
The reporters surrounding Su Wan cursed him inwardly for his shalessness.
"Su, you seem to enjoy doing so celebratory gestures after gas, from folding arms to the recent strangulation. We would like to know if you will do any new celebratory gestures during the Eastern Conference Finals; you know, people are imitating your arm-folding gesture; you’re a trendsetter."
Su Wan said, "It depends on what kind of ga I’m playing. Generally, I might just say a few inconsequential trash talks, like in the ga against the Bulls. If there are so conflicts between us, then maybe I’ll do so more extre celebratory gestures. That’s Indiana; we don’t provoke anyone; we are just defending against those who provoke us first, letting them know that we’re not to be trifled with."
Inconsequential trash talks, huh?
The reporters couldn’t help but want to mock again.
The interview ended quickly.
In fact, Su Wan was in a good mood today and was willing to allow the reporters a longer interview. But they had to return to Indiana tonight, so it was not to be...
The first thing Artest said to him on the bus was: "Your fellow countryman might make it to the Western Conference Finals too!"
"Huh?" Su Wan was startled for a mont. "Didn’t they lose the first ga against the Phoenix Suns?"
"They lost the first ga, but won the second. Now they’ve got the ho-court advantage," Artest inford him of the news he had just received from the reporters.
Upon hearing that the Rockets had evened the score, Su Wan was genuinely surprised and asked an assistant coach to check the regular season records between the Phoenix Suns and the Rockets, discovering that the Rockets had won 2 of their 3 encounters, with one of the gas being a victory by around 20 points.
Noting this, Su Wan scrutinized the three gas carefully and realized that beating the Suns didn’t have much to do with Yao’s performance; he had a solid foundation.
