In their opinion, Zach Randolph has done more than enough.
He helped the Pacers through their toughest growing pains and completed a relatively smooth transition.
Of course, they also have to thank Su Wan; without him exchanging for so many assets, the Pacers wouldn’t have this group of young talents!
Early the next morning, news of Su Wan’s quasi-fatal shot started to cover the entire United States.
The whole internet was abuzz with discussions about Su Wan’s dominance in the fourth quarter.
This was the most dazzling aspect of Su Wan in this playoff series.
Although everyone was already well aware of this fact.
But sothing like this, just like LeBron’s amusent, remains fresh with each viewing!
Various praises filled the major dia outlets.
No wonder people are so emotional; the New York Knicks won too heroically the past two gas.
Su Wan erupted twice in the final quarter to help the team achieve a coback.
Especially in New York...
Such stories caused Su Wan’s jersey to sell out once again.
Ever since his single-ga 83-point "divine enthronent," his jersey has had few days in an "available" status; basically, as soon as a batch is made, they’re cleared out.
This was yet another ti!
New York fans went crazy.
Spike Lee was especially moved to tears: "God didn’t let us sink for ten years for no reason; the reason is Su Wan!"
As for the Indiana dia, most have started summarizing the season; reaching the Eastern Conference Finals and losing again to Su Wan can be considered a satisfactory result for them.
They embrace the notion that "Su Wan is an insurmountable mountain for them."
In Indiana, Su Wan is even more "GOAT" than Michael Jordan!
How could a "GOAT" be so easily defeated?
The only regret probably is that this ti in the series, they didn’t win even a single ga against Su Wan.
Yet unexpectedly, trailing 0-3 in the series, the Pacers continued to maintain their strong montum from the last ho ga.
Zach Randolph, who missed a layup at the last critical mont of the previous ga, exerted himself especially in this match, as they led by 14 points heading into the fourth quarter.
And when the sa situation arose...
In the last 3 minutes of the ga, Su Wan cut the lead to 5 points. Zach Randolph didn’t let any chances slip this ti and seized the opportunity not once but twice, scoring in crucial monts.
Ultimately, helping the team secure their ho court with a 99 to 96 victory, avoiding a sweep by the New York Knicks.
As the final whistle blew, Randolph clenched his fist and let out a low roar...
This ti, he finally did it!
Even if it was just this one ga.
Even though the series score turned to 3-0, winning tonight’s ga didn’t really change anything.
But...
At least he wouldn’t obsess as frequently about the missed layup from two days ago.
In the stands, one by one, the Bolis people showed satisfied expressions.
Not having to watch the team be eliminated live was sowhat comforting.
More importantly, they saw Zach Randolph’s determination in crucial monts, saw his efforts, and gained a bit more recognition for Zach Randolph.
At least for them, this victory wasn’t entirely pointless.
They liked Zach Randolph even more.
Next, the battlefield of the Eastern Conference Finals returned to the New York Knicks.
The Knicks players who were sowhat sluggish in the first two gas finally found their form tonight. Coupled with Su Wan’s consistently stable performance, they faced almost no resistance and ultimately took the fifth ga of the series decisively with a 108 to 93 victory, extending the series lead to 4-1!
Cheers filled Madison Square Garden the mont the buzzer sounded.
The New York Knicks advanced to the Finals for the second consecutive year!
Amidst the cheers, Su Wan hugged Leonard who was right next to him.
The so-called "facial paralysis" Leonard had grown weary after five gas.
No wonder he had this expression, it’s just...
Too difficult!
This playoff series was really tough for him!
From the keen ambition of the first ga, to now "just let die," the emotional changes alone were enough to express the challenges he faced in this series.
As a rookie, he now holds the Eastern Conference Finals in awe.
Su Wan didn’t say much to him.
Words like "the future is yours" seemingly aren’t appropriate for him to say.
He’s only 26 years old!
Not only is the present his, but Leonard’s future is still his as well.
Eventually, he said to Leonard: "I think you’ll get used to it!"
Leonard’s originally sulky face lifted instantly, looking at Su Wan, a face full of disbelief as if not daring to believe that Su Wan’s 36.5-degree mouth would say sothing so cruel.
He wanted to ask:
Are you the devil?
Now he believes, Fu Manzhou really exists!
Su Wan didn’t care about him, after throwing one line of trash talk, he walked toward Zach Randolph.
"Buddy, well done, didn’t expect you to be so competent!"
You could clearly see, Su Wan’s affirmation made Zach Randolph’s "refugee face" imdiately break into a smile.
Honestly, just when Su Wan said those words, Zach Randolph himself had a feeling that he wanted to hear Su Wan recognize him, and that’s why he worked so hard.
