The Pacers flew back to Indiana overnight.
As they descended from Bolis International Airport, they could see a sea of Pacers fans waiting to pick them up, looking at Su Wan and the rest with hopeful eyes as they walked out of the airport terminal.
Soone suddenly shouted,
"Su Wan, we need you!"
Then a unified chant broke out,
"we need Su Wan!"
"we need Su Wan!"
"we need Su Wan!"
The chanting filled the air, putting a moved expression on the tired face of Su Wan.
In fact, during the post-ga interview, a reporter had asked him about renewing his contract, but he had not given a clear reply.
In truth, he was inclined to renew.
However, the specifics of the renewal contract needed to be discussed with Tyrone and the Nike team. He had so matters that required their attention.
But now, Su Wan was willing to add the retention of these fans as a reason to stay.
Zach Randolph watched the fans gathered at the airport in the dead of night, solely to persuade Su Wan to renew his contract with the Indiana team. He appeared sowhat dazed, and a look of envy involuntarily crept across his face.
He had been traded twice.
When the Blazers fans heard he was traded, they celebrated; the New York fans rang their gongs and beat their drums.
Both groups of fans considered him a "scourge"!
Because of this, he often told himself,
I don’t need fans!
I just need US dollars!
But...
Seeing how passionately the fans were pleading with Su Wan, he couldn’t help but admit that he was envious!
Noticing the evident envy on his face, Su Wan teased him, "Envious, Zach? This is what you get for ’three consecutive championships!’ Just achieve that, and you’ll receive the sa treatnt!"
Randolph remained silent.
But his gaze clearly showed a flicker of desire.
He longed for such stories to unfold in his own life.
But...
Could he achieve it?
"Hey, this sumr you need to seriously improve your under-the-basket skills to beco more stable. Don’t give up on your mid-range and long-range shots either. I want to be impressed by your improvent in these areas in the new season!"
Walking out of the airport, Su Wan waved goodbye to the other teammates, but he stopped Randolph.
Unless anything unexpected occurred next season, this "Future Bear King" would be his greatest asset, especially since Su Wan wasn’t sure to what level little O’Neal could recover.
After all, it was a stress fracture, and he hadn’t played for a season.
If he could play at 80% of his pre-injury condition in the first season back, that would already be quite remarkable...
Thus, it seed Su Wan could only rely on Zach Randolph.
"If I don’t see your improvent in these areas during the next season’s training camp, then Zach... you’ll spend the entire season warming the bench!"
However, Randolph wasn’t concerned about Su Wan’s threats at all. His perspective was unusually curious: "So, Su Wan, does this an you’ll renew your contract with the Pacers?"
For so reason, realizing this made Randolph quite happy.
Years later, Randolph finally understood why he felt so happy knowing that Su Wan would renew his contract.
Because Su Wan...
Lived the life he wanted to live!
Did he really think such a player didn’t care about public opinion?
It was just because he didn’t have the chance to prove himself, coupled with dia skepticism and fans’ biased views, that he had always lied to himself, pretending not to care.
The significance of Su Wan to Randolph was...
Randolph could attribute the change to, "Look, it’s not that I wanted to change, but there’s soone forcing to change, wanting to be a hero," and nothing more.
So people are like that.
They fear change, and even more, they fear that change won’t make any difference and instead beco a source of ridicule.
With Su Wan pressuring him, Randolph didn’t have these concerns.
Su Wan looked at him and rolled his eyes, "This is none of your business, Zach. See you in September!"
Then, he drove off in the Lamborghini that Artest had given him.
The very next morning, the "Ga 7" victory excited Su Wan so much that he ended up pulling Paul Pierce’s pants pockets, landing him at the top of the All over the United States hot search list.
Now, all over the United States, fans knew what Pierce’s shit was like.
So dical doctor rode on this wave of attention, using Pierce’s shit to briefly analyze his health condition:
"The guy has so stomach issues, he’s better off eating soft rice!"
Many fans agreed with this view.
In this playoff series, Paul Pierce averaged 17.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and one steal per ga, with a shooting percentage of 41.3% and a three-point shooting percentage of 30.3%, averaging about four turnovers per ga.
He was basically being dragged into the finals by Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen, and other players.
If that wasn’t "eating soft rice," what was?
Additionally, after this ga, Rivers said with relief, "If Su Wan had help, it would be very difficult for us to defeat the Pacers; without Su Wan, we might have easily swept the Pacers 4-0!"
Kevin Garnett comnted, "He is a fighter. I think there is no player better than him in this league right now!"
Ray Allen said, "He will dominate this league for many years, so... we have no ti left, we must win the championship this season!"
Their attitudes all pointed to the sa fact:
Su Wan was too strong!
Without him, the Celtics wouldn’t have struggled so much in the Eastern Conference Finals.
