The winning rate was just a notch above 50%.
But Su Wan truly relished these last 10 gas.
He shot no fewer than 25 tis in each ga.
And given that the Pacers were so weak, challengers were many, and he "entered the zone" with a frequency reminiscent of two years ago.
Just in these recent 10 gas alone, he entered it 5 tis, each ti garnering at least 60,000 zone points, amounting to a total of 300,000 zone points all pocketed. His Field of View was instantly boosted by 85 points.
As a result, his passing beca much smoother. Many passing angles that were previously unseen now all ca into view.
So, in the last 10 gas, not only did he average 36.5 points, but he also dished out an additional 4.5 assists per ga.
One reason why the assist numbers didn’t increase further...
His passing ability wasn’t of that caliber!
Besides these gains, Su Wan grew more familiar with the feeling of his body "in the zone," feeling as though he had vaguely spotted that door—next, he just had to lay his hand on it and push it open.
Su Wan’s extre performance made many people reminisce about Kobe in his years.
Of course, Su Wan scoffed at this.
It had been fine to be called "Huaxia Jordan" before, but now the tier had dropped, turning into "Discount Jordan"? What kind of joke was that?
For Pacers fans, they were keener to see Su Wan win gas while also putting up impressive stats.
Like in tonight’s ga, Zach Randolph scored 23 points with 13 rebounds.
But the best perforr on the team was still Su Wan:
points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists.
Several of those assists were to Randolph. —If only Randolph’s pick-and-roll habits could be a tad better, then his assist count for tonight could have been even higher.
Honestly, Su Wan was starting to miss young O’Neal.
Helpless, since O’Neal was still wheelchair-bound, he had to make do with what he had.
On the way back after the ga, Su Wan took the tactical board from the assistant coach’s hands and questioned Randolph about a few plays earlier—why didn’t he step up for the pick-and-roll when the opportunity was clear?
Randolph was completely flustered.
It’s not like that...
Man!
A 20-point blowout win, and you’re still not the slightest bit happy?
Why does your attitude make feel like we lost by 20 points?
This was sothing Randolph had never experienced before.
Suddenly, an Indiana fan shouted toward Randolph, "Hey Zach, you were really nice tonight, can I get your autograph?"
?
?
Are you asking for my autograph?
Zach Randolph was flabbergasted.
In Portland, in New York, he was always the one people shunned.
Fans proactively asking for his autograph? Even if he offered autographs altruistically, people would shun him as if he had the plague.
How co I just have one good performance with the Pacers and fans are already asking for my autograph?
Are the fans here that easy to please?
"Sorry, but Zach’s performance tonight was actually quite bad, he still needs to adapt to the Pacers. Don’t praise him too early or ask for his autograph so soon!"
Zach was about to agree when he saw Su Wan, who seed distracted, refusing on his behalf.
What was worse for Randolph was as soon as Su Wan said that Randolph’s performance wasn’t great tonight, that fan imdiately changed his tune, "Su, you’re right, I also think he can do better."
WTF!
What do these fans take Su for?
God?
Damn it...
His mind was a whirl of grumbling complaints. Facing Su Wan’s questioning gaze, he forced out a smile uglier than crying, "So, where exactly did I screw up that badly!"
As Randolph started to show "humility and eagerness to learn" on the practice court and put in genuine effort,
The relation between him and Su Wan eased up quite a bit.
Even Randolph noticed that.
Since Indiana didn’t have a lot of bells and whistles to indulge in, only a few nightclubs that Randolph grew sick of after a month, his ntal state also improved a lot.
It just goes to say, a countryside routine could certainly be healthier!
This applied in the NBA as well.
Before his transmigration, Su Wan had always heard that Zach Randolph suddenly changed his on-court deanor when he was with the Grizzlies because mphis had a lack of entertainnt options, and the unvented Randolph could only vent on the court.
Now it seems...
The rumor was becoming more believable.
Of course, Randolph’s mindset now was definitely not the sa as back then.
So, Su needed to occasionally wind him up tight—then, their relationship would tense up again.
But every ti, the first to back down was always Zach Randolph.
The reason was...
Su Wan really didn’t spoil him at all.
If he said no playing ti, no playing ti it was; if he said no ball, no ball was given.
He was really out of wits.
As Zach Randolph buckled the fourth ti for the sake of his future, April ca around, and on the flight to Portland, Su Wan said to Randolph, "Seeing how well-behaved you’ve been lately, tonight we’ll help you put up a good show, let you shine in front of your old team."
Randolph’s mouth gaped, and he instinctively wanted to ask:
Do I owe you a kowtow, Su?
