Don't talk trash to him.
Chapter 185 Requesting a urine test?
Chapter 185 Requesting a urine test?
The American Airlines Arena was in complete silence.
Faced with Su Wan's domineering response, they were unable to say anything in response.
It is no exaggeration to say that tonight should have been a night of enjoyment for them, but because of Su Wan, they experienced what it means to be "heaven one second and hell the next" - "ice and fire".
Looking at Suwan's close-up on the big screen, they suddenly remembered that the Dallas media called Suwan the "regular season MVP thief."
If that's the case...
Then what about Dirk Nowitzki, who was restricted and even locked up by Artest in the finals, was blocked by Suwan in the final moments tonight, and only made 2 of 1 free throws when standing at the free throw line?
They have always believed in Dirk Nowitzki, but tonight, the "German Tank" was placed opposite Suwan, and even these Dallas people had to admit:
Dirk was completely defeated!
Exploded to pieces.
Artest and O'Neal looked at Su Wan's movements and felt that it was very manly. The two looked at each other and followed Su Wan in making the same move towards the audience.
Do not!
It's not just them!
The same goes for the rest of the Pacers.
No wonder they hate Dallas so much.
It’s really because the way the fans here talk is so fucking infuriating!
Of course, if we really want to talk about racial discrimination, we have to talk about the tricks played in European football. Throwing bananas directly onto the field is child's play.
However, this does not mean that these Dallas people deserve forgiveness.
Barkley looked at the Pacers' collective "throat-cutting" and nodded: "4-1, this is indeed a massacre for Dallas!"
Kenny Smith added: "Not just physically, but mentally as well!"
Look at the numb expressions on these Dallas players' faces.
They walked off the field one by one like zombies.
There was no communication between them at all.
It seemed as if they were not teammates, but just fellow travelers on the road to the underworld.
Leading by 15 points entering the fourth quarter, and even with less than 5 minutes left, they were still leading by 12 points. Everyone thought they had victory in their grasp, and at least tonight, they would hold on to the home victory.
But everything happened so suddenly, and people were caught off guard.
Su Wan's attack was like a flood and a beast, engulfing them without leaving any residue, and crushing their self-confidence as well.
The Pacers hugged each other and celebrated the big victory.
They did not seek to interact with the Mavericks players and create the illusion of "mutual sympathy" in front of the media.
This is not directed at the Mavericks players, they all deserve respect.
There was no "dirty tricks" or "black whistles", this was a very pure series. Even if they were slaughtered, Su Wan was willing to call them "opponents".
But the fans of this city are really hard to like.
Since their attitude is so arrogant, there is nothing to say, the Pacers can treat them with the same arrogant attitude.
Su Wan even wanted to give a spoiler:
"Do you feel hopeless? Don't worry, your moment of despair is far from coming!"
This drama of “coming up from 1 to 4” can only be regarded as the opening act, the real climax is yet to come!
Suwan took a deep look at the Dallas players who were starting to leave the field, smiled, and changed into his championship uniform.
Soon David Stern appeared in front of them with the O'Brien Cup.
After a year, Su Wan was still extremely excited when he saw the golden championship trophy again.
Every time he sees this championship trophy, it means that his honor has increased a little bit.
When NBA players fight to the end, all they have to do is show their fingers and count who has the most rings on them.
Everything else is just extra.
Su Wan read a story.
The Celtics, who had won eight consecutive championships, were numb to the end. They lifted the championship trophy as a routine and returned to the locker room, too lazy to even open the champagne for celebration.
He likes this story very much and hopes that one day he can experience the feeling of winning a championship and winning until he vomits.
Of course, now he has just begun to enjoy the wonderful feeling of winning consecutive championships, and he still has a long way to go before he becomes numb to the feeling of winning the championship.
"I declare that the team that won the NBA 05-06 season championship is... the Indiana Pacers. Let us congratulate them!"
As David Stern made the announcement, Suwan, as the representative of the team, held up the championship trophy.
At this time, the audience seats were already quite empty. Only one in ten of the seats that were packed before the game started remained, with only a few thousand people still standing in the stands.
This is the first trip to the Finals in the history of the Dallas Mavericks.
The result was a hasty 1-4 loss. And after winning one game, which gave Dallas fans endless hope, they lost four games in a row.
They finally saw the O'Brien Cup in this stadium, but the name on it read:
Indiana Pacers!
The atmosphere at the scene was not warm, but rather a bit sad. However, thousands of kilometers away at the Conseco Fieldhouse, a huge cheer erupted at this moment, and there was uncontrollable joy in the eyes of all Indiana people.
Like Dallas, they experienced the same polarized emotional shift.
I thought the winner would not be decided until the next game, but unexpectedly, Su Wan once again became the "final quarter killer" and helped the team complete an incredible reversal.
This man can really make the impossible possible!
It’s incredible!
All Pacers fans believe that there is no one in Indiana who doesn't like Suwan, and if he doesn't like Suwan, then he is definitely not an Indiana.
The camera returns to the scene and the trophy passes through the hands of all the Pacers players.
Everyone's expression is different.
People like Su Wan who have won a championship once are calmer in comparison.
Once you are alive, the second time you are familiar!
Except Artest...
Although he also touched the championship trophy last year, he had to ask "Can I touch this big JB" before touching it?
Now, he doesn't need it anymore!
He was also one of the core players of the Pacers' championship. If the O'Brien Cup were to break into pieces, a large piece would belong to him.
There was a sigh in Calderon's eyes again.
From the "water dispenser" of the Cavaliers to the main point guard of the championship team.
Two seasons, two years, two lives!
He was very emotional.
It turns out that I really have the ability to play in the NBA and even help the team win the championship.
Dio didn't become lazy as usual once the game was over.
Before he came to the NBA, his goal was to prove his talent and make a name for himself in the NBA. Then he just wanted to enjoy the court. He didn't even have the desire to be an All-Star, and winning a championship was not a necessity for his career.
But when he truly felt the weight of the O'Brien Cup, he seemed to feel very clearly his efforts on the court in the past season.
He, who had always been lazy, suddenly had an idea to make progress:
I will continue to feel this weight!
The taste of victory is sometimes like this, more addictive than opium.
Then David Stern announced the winner of the Finals MVP Award. Watching him slowly pull out the white card with the final answer from the envelope with a suspenseful smile, Barkley couldn't help but say, "Announce it quickly? Is there any other result?"
33.4分6.2篮板3.2助攻2.2抢断1.4盖帽!
Shooting percentage 48.4%!
Three-point shooting percentage 38.9%!
85% free throw shooting rate!
Average of 2.5 turnovers and 2 fouls per game!
Are there any other options besides Su Wan?
But Kenny Smith quickly stopped him and told him not to say anything, otherwise he would say something bad. But Barkley really didn't believe that his "bad words" could be so bad, so he directly said Su Wan's name.
Smith rolled his eyes and thought:
Wait!
If it’s not Su Wan, you can just wait to be beaten to death by Su Wan’s fans!
"The player who won the final finals MVP award is...Su Wan!"
But in the end, it was proved that even Barkley's "poisonous milk" could not prevent Suwan from winning the Finals MVP trophy again.
"Dear audience friends, this is a historic moment!" Bill Walton reminded Suwan when he received the Finals MVP trophy, "This is the first player in NBA history to win the Rookie Challenge MVP, All-Star MVP, Regular Season MVP, and Finals MVP in the same season!"
The fans who were listening to ESPN's commentary had their heads buzzing. When many fans heard Bill Walton calling their attention, they thought he was going to say that Suwan was the first player in NBA history to win the Finals MVP award consecutively in the first two years of his career.
Of course, this achievement is already remarkable.
Even if we remove the "attribute" of the first two years of the career, there are not many NBA players who can win the Finals MVP award for two consecutive years:
Since the Finals MVP award was created, only three people have achieved this:
Michael Jordan, Olajuwon and Shaquille O'Neal.
Even as strong as Magic Johnson and Bird, they have never won the Finals MVP for two consecutive years.
In this achievement, Su Wan is also the "fourth person" in history.
But what Bill Walton said was even more amazing:
Rookie Challenge MVP, All-Star MVP, Regular Season MVP, Championship MVP!
Many NBA historical stars may not be able to collect these "fragments of honor" in their entire careers, but Suwan did it in just one season.
In this league, it is already amazing for a player to win the regular season MVP and the Finals MVP in the same season. The media often calls this year "Year XX".
But compared to what Suwan has achieved this season, they are all a little lacking.
This is the real "Su Wannian"!
The big screen on the scene also reminded everyone at this time what kind of historic moment they were experiencing;
The first NBA player to win Finals MVP in the first two years of his career;
The first NBA player to win the "Four Major MVPs" in the same season;
Even David Stern's eyes were full of light when he looked at Su Wan:
This Chinese player is really awesome!
more importantly……
He achieved this result by leading a team in a small city!
This will definitely have some effects in the future. If those rookies say that a certain city is too small and they don't want to play there, he can openly let the media publish articles to ridicule them: "If you don't have the ability, just say you don't have the ability. Indiana is small enough, right? Isn't Su Wan still unlocking various terrifying honors and achievements there?" People with ability can shine everywhere!
"I'm really sorry. First I stole Dallas' regular season MVP trophy, and now I've stolen Dallas' championship trophy. I put it in Indiana. If you have the guts, come and get it from me!"
The speech of the finals MVP became a stage for Su Wan to vent.
These words are enough to make Dallas the laughing stock of the entire country tomorrow.
The last paragraph was from Suwan to Indiana: "This is the second championship trophy promised to you. Believe me, the Pacers will have the third championship trophy soon!"
The Dallas residents who were still at the scene heard this and were extremely certain of what was happening in Polis, who they could not see, and how he was cheering.
They felt sad in their hearts.
Su Wan left the field with satisfaction, but just as he entered the player tunnel, he saw the public relations manager with a serious look on his face, and there were several people in uniform standing next to him.
"What?" Su Wan looked curious.
The PR manager pulled him aside and said to him, "Damn Mark Cuban, together with the owners of several other teams, put pressure on the league to require a urine test on you. When we learned the news, they had already arrived."
Su Wan smiled: "Why are you so nervous? Do you suspect there is something else in my urine?"
He was neither nervous nor surprised at all.
It's really normal for Mark Cuban to do this.
Many fans say that Cuban is the most humane boss in the NBA.
But actually, bullshit!
What little humanity he had left, he gave to Nowitzki.
Their stories are beautiful, but what do they have to do with other players?
And apart from this story, there is nothing much to say about Cuban. He is the owner who receives the most fines in the NBA. What are the reasons for most of his fines?
He just wants to put pressure on the league through off-court remarks.
During the Mavericks' series against the Rockets last season, he even sent a videotape to the president's office, demanding stricter calls on Yao Ming's movements.
These little tricks all show that he is a guy who doesn't care about other people's lives at all.
Now they want to use a urine test to disgust Su Wan, how could Su Wan be surprised?
However, this is a good opportunity...
Dallas fans have been insulting him with racist words these days. Just a "throat-cutting" action is not enough to completely vent their anger. Su Wan has decided to beat the Mavericks to death when he sees them next time.
But for him who never waits for revenge, it still feels a bit frustrating.
Unexpectedly, Cuban came to the door at this time.
He shouted to the reporters nearby:
"Mark Cuban suspected that I used performance-enhancing drugs. These are the investigators from the league. I will cooperate with the investigation. I have nothing to feel guilty about!"
"But I really want to know, why me?"
"There have been many players who have performed well in the finals over the years. I won't mention the distant past, such as Michael Jordan, Shaquille O'Neal... They all performed like supermen in the finals, but I haven't seen Mark Cuban ask them to take urine tests!"
"Based on what I've experienced in Dallas these past few days, I know very well what kind of city this is. I believe you know this too, so I suspect that Mark Cuban has serious racist tendencies. He discriminates against us international players and thinks we can't perform like this on a stage like the Finals!"
"At the same time, I am disappointed that the league agreed to his request. David Stern, the great president, do you also think that international players can only perform well by injecting performance enhancers?"
"The league conducts doping tests on us at a specific time every year, and there has never been a problem with my report, so I need you to give a sufficient explanation, not just a superficial apology!"
After that, he followed the league's investigators and extracted urine.
Afterwards, he called Bill Duffy and Nike representatives separately and reiterated, "I don't want this matter to end with just a light apology. Since he wants to make a scene, I will accompany him to make a scene."
Both sides understood Su Wan's meaning and immediately prepared to launch tomorrow's public opinion war through their respective channels.
The Nike representative said directly: "Don't worry, we can guarantee that even if Mark Cuban does not disappear from this league, we will make him peel off a layer of skin. Of course, there is also the league, and someone needs to be held accountable for this matter!"
Just kidding, the Su Wan now is not the Su Wan of last year.
After he won last year's Finals MVP, he was still just the next "Magic Johnson."
But now it’s different, he has created two “historical firsts” that belong to him alone.
Whether it was winning the Finals MVP in the first two years of his rookie season, or winning four MVPs in one season, Suwan's importance to Nike was destined to be elevated to another level. It is no exaggeration to say that he is Nike's "leader" for the next ten years.
Besides, this is also related to Nike's personal brand image.
Isn't it a roundabout way to slander Nike for signing players who take drugs by conducting a urine test on Suwan?
Although this is not uncommon in the American sports circle, especially in the track and field and swimming teams, seven out of ten have asthma. But in the NBA circle, David Stern has always been a "heavy punch", and Nike naturally cannot let its spokesperson be affected by this aspect.
If we let this matter pass lightly and it seems nothing happened now, who knows if there will be a "history book" in the future that will cause Su Wanzhen to become a suspect of doping.
This is also the reason why Su Wan wants to make a big deal out of this.
Only in the end did the league and Cuban get punished. In the next ten years, the news about this incident would be that Mavericks owner Mark Cuban accused Suwan of doping and what happened to him.
Instead of the news that Su Wan performed well in the finals ten years ago and was suspected of using stimulants, but fortunately it was a false alarm.
And only when Mark Cuban and the league give a positive explanation can the matter of "Su Wanqiang is so strong that the team owner suspects that he has used stimulants" go viral.
Su Wan was still very confident. He had already tested himself and the system would not cause his body to have a positive reaction like taking stimulants.
Soon the rest of the Pacers team also found out about this, and none of them were in the mood to even be interviewed.
The post-match interview ended quickly.
However, when he was about to get on the bus, Su Wan saw Irene and suddenly remembered that he had originally promised to do an exclusive interview with her.
"After something like this happened, you definitely aren't in the mood to be interviewed. It's not a big deal." Irene expressed her understanding.
Su Wan thought about it and asked the team's public relations manager: "Can I bring a reporter on the plane?"
This is not just about taking care of Irene. Mainly, the season is over, and after this incident, he really doesn't want to meet any reporters tomorrow, nor does he want to accept any interviews.
The PR manager was a little surprised, not by Su Wan's request, but by Su Wan's questioning: "Do you think anyone can stop this from happening? Man, we are not the management of the Magic. This is Indiana, your territory."
He had no doubt that if he refused Su Wan's request, he would be fired tomorrow for stepping into the gym with his left foot first.
Su Wan smiled and said, "The rules should be followed. At least, I have to tell you."
Then Su Wan greeted the others.
After Irene found out, she was stunned. She was not being sentimental, but she still wanted to ask, "Su, are you playing some kind of trick of playing hard to get with me? Actually, it doesn't have to be that troublesome. Just beckon me and I'll take off all my clothes!"
"Fuck off!"
Su Wan cursed in annoyance, but Irene smiled. This was one of the rare times she had the upper hand, and it felt really good.
This matter spread quickly, and Erin's status in ESPN is expected to be further improved.
"In fact, TNT, ABC and other media have been contacting me through headhunters recently." It takes more than 5 hours to fly from Dallas to Indiana. Irene has plenty of time to interview slowly. She is not in a hurry. She first chats with Su Wan about her recent situation. "But I rejected them all..."
"Why? Is the offer not good enough?" Su Wan knew that the new contract offered by ESPN was already a top-tier contract in the current journalist industry. For a newcomer like Erin, it could even be considered the "top salary."
Erin said, "There are some better ones than ESPN, but I feel that if I choose another company, I will probably make a bad impression on you."
Su Wan was a little surprised, but didn't say anything, waiting for Irene to continue.
"ESPN gave me a starting point in the industry, and as my value increased, they kept following up with big contracts to show their respect for me. If I gave up on such an old club because of the money, I would become an ambitious person in your eyes, right? You would definitely not like such a person."
Su Wan smiled.
Irene was not wrong.
He really doesn't like people who only care about their own interests.
Take player transfers for example...
If a player is unhappy in a team, is not valued, does not get enough respect, or the team does not have the idea of investing heavily and pursuing results, and the player himself does not want to just sit there on a contract, then there is nothing wrong with a transfer in these cases.
But if a player has been the focus of the team's training since his debut, and the team even trades other talented players who may affect his growth for him, and then spends two years waiting for him to grow. When building the team, they also spend money when necessary, trade when necessary, and even overdraw the team's future for him, then even if this player fails to perform well, he should not just walk away.
People cannot always do only things that are beneficial to themselves.
Without emotions, what’s the difference between us and cold-blooded animals?
Even if such a player succeeds, don't blame the fans for calling him a "businessman".
It is impossible for Su Wan to get along peacefully with such players, nor is it possible for him to become friends with such people.
He was pleased that Irene kept her original intention and was not blinded by money. This proved that he was not wrong about her and that the preferential treatment he had shown her in the past two years was worth it.
The interview lasted about 40 minutes. After Irene finished the interview, she looked around and saw that it was quiet. Almost all the Pacers players were asleep.
Judging from the score, they won easily.
4-1!
But they have been in Dallas for the past six days. The influence of various off-court factors and the "meat grinder-like" hand-to-hand combat on the court have made them physically and mentally exhausted. Now that they have finally won the championship, they can finally sleep peacefully.
"Can I take some pictures of them sleeping?" Erin asked quietly.
Su Wan nodded. He had already informed them before that Irene might take some photos at that time, so there was no need to ask for their opinions.
Irene tiptoed past each player's seat, looking for an angle to take pictures of them while they were sleeping.
Especially when Artest was sleeping with the O'Brien Cup in his arms, she took several photos in a row before she captured the feeling she wanted.
Finally she walked in front of Su Wan...
Su Wan, the biggest "contributor" tonight and the most tired one, has fallen asleep. Irene originally wanted to put the Finals MVP trophy in Su Wan's hand and take a photo, but after thinking about it, it was not like Su Wan to do such a low-class thing, so she poured the Finals MVP trophy at his feet.
"Nice!"
Irene was very satisfied with her creativity.
The plane arrived in Indiana, and Su Wan had no idea that he was "forced" to pretend to be a B while sleeping.
