108：99。

The Pacers comfortably won the finale with a historic 71-game record.

It was their first-ever team record and the second-best regular season record in NBA history, behind the 72-game record set by Jordan and the Bulls.

In fact, the Pacers have only lost four games since getting Suhey.

So a lot of people say that if Suhee joins the Pacers in the first place, the Pacers have a good chance of breaking the Bulls' record.

The night belonged to Indiana, and at their home stadium, the Conseco Arena was boiling with 20,000 fans cheering in unison.

It was their most successful moment ever, having reached the Eastern Conference finals twice under Larry Brown and Larry Bird led the team to the Finals... But, tonight, all the fans smelled of the championship.

Although Suhi was not on the field, the fans were still shouting a name in unison: Su! Sue! Sue!

This made Su Xi in front of the TV very moved.

He and the Pacers have been fantastic this season, and they've made each other great. Although he didn't get any new super talents in terms of physical talent after moving to the Pacers, he improved rapidly in terms of technique and court understanding.

"We're going to win the championship, we're going to win it, there's no reason for us to fail again, that's our manifesto."

Reggie Miller shouted with the microphone in his hand after the game.

This 90-year-old arrogant and domineering scoring guard returned to domineering tonight, and his eyes were full of murder and determination. People saw in him the perseverance to push away Jordan's hit, the ruthlessness of Miller's moments, and the ambition and desire that he had been unable to seek for more than ten years.

Suhi nodded in front of the TV.

That's what he's here to be.

The championship is even more important to him.

This is not just a simple honor, but also the 'source' of Suhi's ability to obtain subsequent super talents. and, get the contract key of Bird's super spatial talent, and Nike's historic bonus.

Suhey turned off the TV, he walked out of Scarlett's hospital room, pushed open the door, and it was an even more difficult battle.

…

The Pacers' 71-win win made the front page of all sports media the following day, and the Pacers were undoubtedly the biggest winners of the regular season.

There is no suspense in Rick Carlisle's best coach.

Of Suhi and Artest, there was definitely one person who was selected as the best defensive player.

O'Neal Jr. will definitely make the All-Star team, and he is the third-best power forward after Duncan and Garnett.

And then there's Suhi, who is also very popular for his best rookie.

And when the sports media called this season the 'Pacers season', the entertainment media frantically followed the news that Suhi and Scarlett were filming commercials, and that Scarlett was rear-ended by a police car and recuperating in Indiana.

The news drove the entertainment media crazy, and they were like sharks that smelled blood.

Almost every channel is discussing the significance of this incident, and they analyze it decently, concluding that Scarlett has gained the upper hand and turned the situation around.

Suhi was in no mood to care about this gossip news.

He went into the gym the next day and was with his team-mates.

Despite the three-day holiday, none of the players were absent from the training session.

Because they're so hungry for the championship trophy.

And, if the teams with 71 wins in the regular season can't win the championship, then they're the biggest losers.

"The playoffs are not the same as the regular season, it's a series. The regular season is a game of wins and losses, and not enough research on each other. Whoever has the most advantages wins. But the playoffs are... Whoever has fewer disadvantages, who is caught with short pigtails, wins. ”

Carlisle and Suhi said: "There are no weak teams in the NBA, the Celtics are strong, and we can't rest on our laurels in the regular season. They're holding back their energy to create the Black Eight Miracle right now. ”

Suhi has obtained information on all the outside players of the Celtics in the past two days, and it records in great detail, which player's shooting percentage at which point, where he is used to launching breakthroughs, the number of blocks and pick-and-rolls, the inertia of running without the ball... The NBA's vast database makes it impossible to hide.

Suhi then understood why Carlisle said that the playoffs are completely different from the regular season, the regular season is about the advantages of the project, and the playoffs are about the shortcomings.

Suxi's shortcomings are obvious now.

This is also the favorite criticism of those basketball experts.

The Celtics have been in the playoffs with Pierce and Walker as the duo in previous seasons, but before the start of this season, Anthony Walker was traded and Pierce was corrected.

Suhey, the Celtics' current second-in-command, is well aware, Ricky Davis. The '20+5+5 superstar' who used to be very bad with Suhi, but when he was traded, he told Suxi the truth, and has been helping Suxi speak since then.

Davis washed all the lead in the Celtics, he cooperated with Pierce throughout the whole process, and he was also very cooperative on the tactical end, and he was even willing to be the team's sixth man.

In addition to Ricky Davis, there is another former rival: Marcus Banks.

Banks was drafted by the Celtics with the 13th pick in the first round, although he was awesome before the draft, and even wanted to step on Sushi to make a name for himself in Chicago training camp.

However, when he arrived in the NBA, he was out of the picture. He has nothing particularly to stand out, and is now a substitute for Atkins, averaging 5.3 points and 1.9 assists per game, and Sushi has long been out of the same level.

Nevada Tractor Factory was also very happy that it did not sign with Banksy in the first place, but chose to give $200,000 to Suhi...... This is the reason why they have become famous in Nevada.

Now I am looking for Su Xi to sign an endorsement contract, and they all start with a seven-figure annual salary.

Atkins, the Celtics' starting point guard, is the quintessential short point guard, with speed, accurate shooting, and a good three-point shot. He is also more active on the defensive end, but limited by his size, the effect is average. The passing ability is also relatively average.

Overall, he and Sushi are not on the same level.

However, Carlisle said that if Atkins uses it well, it will be enough to create a misplaced advantage over Suhey.

Again, the playoffs are very different from the regular season.

On the last day of vacation before the playoffs, the NBA announced a rookie of the best team: Suhi, Wade, James, Anthony, Bosh.

The All-Rookie Second Team is: Hinrich, Ford, Hayes, Josh Howard, Haslem.

There is no dispute about this.

Only Bosh was a little embarrassed, because apart from him, the other four Rookie All-Rookie lineups were all favorites for All-Rookie for a while.

Later in the afternoon, the All-Defensive Team and All-Defensive Team were also released.

The surprising thing is that Suxi was selected.

It's not just him, but O'Neill Jr. and Ron Artest.

With 71 wins, the Pacers have an unprecedented advantage in this kind of selection.

The All-Defensive Team lineup is: Suhi, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Kevin Garnett, Ben Wallace.

Very objective.

This season, Suhi is the steal king and has the most blocks among point guards. His winding defense has become a classic. Although many people say that he relies too much on physical confrontation and has a lot of technical moves that are suspected of fouls, if he is switched to a new defensive strategy, Suhi's defensive ability will plummet.

However, under the existing rules, Sushi is the big killer in the No. 1 position, and he can switch to any position at any time.

In addition, Suhi and Artest were both selected to the All-Star Team for three times.

The All-Breed squad is: Kidd, Kobe, Garnett, Duncan, O'Neal.

The All-Round Second Team list is: Kassel, Stojakovic, Maddy, Jermaine O'Neal, Ben Wallace.

The list of the best three teams is: Suhi, Reed, Artest, Nowitzki, Yao Ming.

This list came out, and it was very controversial.

A lot of people think Sushih shouldn't be in the third team because he's not at the level of the league's third-best point guard.

But Pacers fans are very unhappy, why can the Timberwolves' Kassell win the second team, and that shooter Stojakovic also wins the second team?

What qualifications do they have? They were beaten like Reservoir Dogs by Suhey, Reggie Miller, and Artest, so why did they crush the Pacers?

Voices of support and opposition are constantly intertwined.

This is just a list of collective awards, and if the individual list is released, it will have to be turned upside down.

Regardless, Suhi and the Pacers' big win in this regular season is a given, and their 71 wins are a glory engraved in history, and no one can offset it.

Nike executives are the most flustered at this time.

They never dreamed that the prize money would be redeemed so quickly, and their signature shoes wouldn't even be available until the second round of the playoffs.

Because according to the records in black and white.

Once Suhi is on the All-Star team, he will receive an additional $10 million in prize money.

The three-lineup is also the best team.

In other words, Suhi cashed out the prize money in her first season.

He has received more money from Nike this season than LeBron James has taken from Nike, and if you count the contract payment, he is far behind the Chosen One.

When LeBron James got the news, he was so angry that he almost fainted.

Because he wasn't named to the All-Defensive Team or All-Defensive Team.

Although these two lineups are heavily focused on their records, he already knows in his heart that he is already behind Suhi in the race for Rookie of the Year.

This already made him very sad.

Even more sad was when he heard that Nike was going to pay Sushi an additional reward of $10 million.

He angrily called Brother Goodwin over and scolded him. "Why? Why? Why did you negotiate such a good contract for Suxi the Sheep? Why did he get $10 million and I didn't? ”

The two brothers were silent.

Eric Goodwin complained in his heart: Even if I talked to you, you were not selected for the best team.

It's a good thing that this sentence was not spoken, otherwise James would have been even more angry.

He now sits in front of the TV and watches Suhi, Wade, and Anthony play the playoffs, but he can only start preparing for the 2004-2005 season early.

James is a very hard worker, and he has developed an extremely detailed training plan, especially for his technique and body, which has never been seen before.

Moreover, he also has clear guidance on the team's planning.

He told the Cavaliers owner and general manager: I want to keep Carlos Boozer, I want a point guard who can shoot threes, I want a forward who can get in a position and can get rebounds.

Moreover, he also instructed the team not to renew Stephen Jackson's contract.

He hated Stephen Jackson so much that Jackson pointed his finger in the face several times in the locker room, showing no respect for the Chosen One.

And talked about Suxi the sheep several times, deliberately stabbing him.

He was angry, he couldn't leave this kind of back-and-forth person.

Scourges like Ricky Davis can't happen a second time.

…

Time went by, and no one expected that Ricky Davis and Sushi would be traded out of Cleveland before and after, only to meet in the first round of the playoffs.

Suhi was warming up at the arena when he saw Ricky Davis come over to say hello, his eyes didn't have the sharpness they used to be, and he was no longer the one who treated Sushi and James as assistants.

He accepted the Celtics' position for him, and he also stood up for his post conscientiously.

"Jack, I said a long time ago that you have a better future than LeBron James. He is the one who is selfless on the surface, but in fact cares most about data. ”

Well?

Davis said this, which made Suhi feel weird. He thought to himself, is there anyone in this world who cares more about data than you? You're throwing a basketball at your own rebound for a triple-double.

But on second thought, the same kind must know the same kind best.

This is probably why they are incompatible.

"Come on, Jack. The playoffs are very different from the regular season, and if you're not prepared, the accolades you get will be poured on you. Ricky Davis patted Suhi on the shoulder, like a spiritual mentor.

At this time, Tony Barty also ended their greetings with Paul Pearce, they are friends of life and death after all.

"I've said hello to Pierce, Jack. If they dare to do bad things to you, I'll be the first to rush up and them, and no one will be given face. Tony Barty publishes bodyguard quotes.

It's actually important, the benefits of the playoffs are very different from the regular season, and when it comes to the playoffs, a lot of dark dirty tricks will be used.

Suhi thanked him.

He patted his chest: "This is what Su Bao should do." ”

Su Xi always felt that the title of Su Bao was weird, he once asked Huang Xiaoman, and Huang Xiaoman told him: "You don't inquire about women's affairs." ”

Before the game began, the Pacers played a documentary on their home court, which recorded the Pacers' two Eastern Conference finals defeats and one Finals hate since 1993.

It caused a strong emotional surge among the fans at the scene.

In the first game of the playoffs, the Pacers' ambitions for this year are written on their faces.

The more this is the case, the more cautious Suhi becomes.

Once the boat capsizes, the more serious the backlash becomes.

Backbite!

The whistle blew.

The game begins.

The starting players of the Pacers were: Suhi, Miller, Artay, O'Neal Jr., Foster.

The Celtics' starters were: Atkins, Davis, Pierce, McCarty, Blunt.

Syllable!

Foster jumped to beat Blunt and Sushi held the ball past half court to open his first playoff game.
