Chapter 70: [Big Brother Arenas]

"Congratulations, Eastern Conference champions."

Suhi walked into the locker room, and he sent his blessing to Artest, who was missing a front tooth. Artest excitedly tore off his jersey, and he is now wearing an Eastern Conference Championship T-shirt. The Eastern Conference championship trophy was held in the arms of Reggie Miller, who looked like he had met his own heavenly food.

O'Neal Jr. has a smile on his face, he's going to be on the championship for the first time, and he's so happy with pink bubbles in his eyes right now.

Everyone in the locker room was presenting different joys and excitements.

Suhi seems to be the calmest of people, even though everyone thinks he should get carried away the most: after all, he is only 19 years old, and he has already made history leading the team to the finals, and this is his first season.

Barkley began to compare him to Magic Johnson on television.

After all, the only person in history who led the team to the NBA Finals in his first rookie season and won the Finals MVP was Magic Johnson.

Can Sushi replicate such success?

The second half of the TNT channel was talking about it like crazy.

Rick Carlisle didn't hesitate to call Suhi the leader of the team and the MVP of the Eastern Conference Finals in front of the media. He also asked reporters rhetorically: Why don't we get an MVP trophy in the Eastern Conference finals? Isn't the Eastern Conference champion a champion?

After three rounds of playoff matches, Suhi is undoubtedly the Pacers' most critical winner.

If the Pacers themselves are a priceless crown, then Suhi is the jewel in the crown, and its presence makes the crown a true symbol of power.

Suhi was greeted with champagne in the locker room, and the joy of victory turned into a sweet liquor sprayed on him.

It's a bit like the NBA's version of Songkran: the most popular get the most 'blessings'.

The 4-0 knockout of the Pistons was obviously a dream thing, and of all the predictions before the series began, no basketball expert made such a bold prediction.

But that's what happened.

The Pistons can certainly find a lot of reasons to lose, and there are a lot of ready-made ones in the media.

However, their season was over.

Larry Brown and Billups sat in agony at a press conference inside the Palace in Auburn Hills, being 'reviewed' by the media as the biggest losers in the East this year.

None of them were in a very good mood.

Larry Brown didn't even say anything about the scene.

Asked by reporters what he thought of the loss, he said: "I don't know. ”

He clearly hasn't accepted this defeat yet.

In contrast, Bilops adapted more quickly, saying: "I didn't guard Sushi the Sheep well, I gave him too many opportunities to break the defence. Moreover, he is very cunning and extremely good at hiding strength. He showed a different quality in the first, second, third, fourth and every game he came up with something new. ”

"Even in the same game, two defensive pairs in a row, you can feel his intensity increasing."

Billups says what he really thinks: "It's pretty scary. Because you don't know how much of his real combat power really is. ”

Billups came to this conclusion because Suhee brushed five agility points on him in Game 4. Of course, it will have an immediate effect.

Su Xi's current level of physical talent and technical talent, any increase in talent will bring substantial improvement.

If Sushi had been sitting in the press box, he would have stood up and applauded: Billups, you have such a strong sense of perception.

Then, a TNT reporter asked Billups: "Then what do you think is the level of strength of Suhi the Sheep?" ”

"I think he's the No. 1 point guard in the NBA."

Billups was serious.

The reporters in the audience were also silent.

If Billups had said this before the series began, it would have been taken as irony, and the Detroit fans below would have burst into laughter.

But now, they can't laugh.

Billups was beaten with a 'blue nose and swollen face,' and he said Suhi the Sheep was the No. 1 point guard on the roster, and that was it.

Billups himself is a first-tier point guard in the NBA, both offensively and defensively. In the active No. 1 position, he may not be in the top five, but the top 10 is very stable.

He said Suhee was the No. 1 point guard, and maybe Kidd would not be convinced.

But, Kidd, you've already made soy sauce.

Suxi the Sheep led the team to the finals, what else can you be fooled about.

If you want to push it, you can only wait until next season, or after the Pacers lose the Finals.

However, in today's league, point guards are among the five weaker positions. What are the four centers, the two rulers, the four strikers, the four defenders... There is very little talk about point guards.

In the current NBA's overall half-court strategy, the point guard has no other position to shine.

Carlisle and Artest then attended the post-match press conference. Compared to Larry Brown and Billups, they have the joy of a victor on their faces.

The reporters were a little surprised, and Suxi didn't come.

Suhee avoided being asked about Scarlett Johansson's date because he didn't want to be asked. Give Atay the opportunity to pretend after the game.

Ron Artest was happy and excited.

"We didn't treat the Pistons as an opponent from the beginning, and we haven't lost to the Pistons since Jack joined. So, 4:0, isn't it a continuation? ”

"The Pistons may feel like they're on par with us, or a little bit ahead of us... But it's actually like a 5,000-kilometer run, we ran one more lap than them... No, it's four laps. ”

"Jack is certainly the number one point guard, is there any doubt about that?"

"I don't know how strong he is. He doesn't need to show how strong he really is, he just needs to be a little bit stronger than his opponent thinks. ”

"LeBron James? Why are we talking about him? He's recognized by the media as the Son of the Choice, and our Jack is just an average first-time point guard who led the team to the Finals in his average rookie season, All-Defensive All-Player, All-Defensive Team. ”

“…”

Artest said a lot, and when it came to Suhi, he was especially excited.

The same goes for Carlisle, when asked about Suhi. Always full of emotions and passionate, he said: "Jack is the smartest, smartest, most impactful and most creative player I've ever seen in my career, not one of them. ”

These praises made Su Xi, who did not attend the press conference, still firmly dominate the topic.

In the next day's report, Suhi's name grabbed the headlines.

Suhi woke up at noon the next day in Indiana's house, and they returned to Indiana overnight... This was originally a flight prepared for the fifth game, so that the players could have a better rest and prepare for the fifth game.

Unexpectedly... No need.

Suhi will have a long vacation, and Carlisle first announced a three-day break on the plane. Whether the future vacation is extended depends on the game between the Lakers and the Timberwolves.

They are now tied at 2:2.

Suhi saw Shaq O'Neill's 'timely response' on TV. He was still playing with a treasure, and he made an exaggerated expression of surprise: What? The Pacers swept the Pistons? Sushi the Sheep scored 38 points? So scary? Oh my God, how are we going to deal with it? How do we cope?

He deliberately put on a frightening expression.

The laughing fruit is good.

But no one took it seriously.

Honestly, the Lakers should be glad that it was the Pacers who qualified in the East.

Compared to the Pacers, the Lakers don't want to face the Pistons.

The Pistons are very restrained by the Lakers' style of play.

Pacers, the inside line is more mediocre. Although the big and small O'Neal duel will become a media hype gimmick, basically everyone is not optimistic about what gorgeous data O'Neal Jr. can get in the penalty area where Carl Malone and O'Neal teamed up.

After Suxi got up and washed, the brokerage team began to call him to deal with various commercial endorsements.

After the Eastern Finals, Suhi's stadium value reached its peak, and his commercial value also reached its peak.

The most hardcore criterion for assessing a player's impact is his record.

Su Xi's current record has been put into the long river of history, and it is also a well-known existence.

That's why Nike is going to shoot the latest commercial for Sushi again, and with Kobe Bryant unable to promote it because of the aftermath of the lawsuit, LeBron James went home early to fish. Suhi will inevitably become their primary target for some time now.

Moreover, the sales of Sushi's sneakers are rising.

Nike was unexpectedly happy that Sushi led the team to the finals.

Of course, they're also there now: Will Jack really kill the Western Conference champion and win the MVP?

Suhi's Finals MVP means they have to pay Suhi an extra $20 million, which will make Suhi's sponsorship this year the first in history.

At the same time, this will also bring another problem that makes Nike very uncomfortable: if Sushi wins the Finals MVP this year and wins next year, his prize money will be doubled, and at the same time... Nike also wants to give him a 5% dividend on his sneakers.

Nike's Phil Knight may have been quick at the time, thinking that Sushi would definitely not win the Finals MVP in five years, let alone win a second consecutive year. Purely motivating.

is as strong as Jordan, and the first five years were empty-handed.

But now... Su Xi actually has the possibility of realization.

Nike was both happy and a little painful.

This ceded almost all the sneaker interests to Suhi.

Pure workers.

But in any case, this job has to be continued.

It is also necessary to increase investment.

Suhi has agreed to two new endorsement deals that will bring him $4 million in after-tax income over the next three years.

In terms of commercial value, Sushi undoubtedly stands at the top of the NBA. The only person who can compete with him properly is LeBron James.

When he was in Cleveland, James was jealous of Suhi's earning ability, and now with the blessing of the record, Suhi's earning ability has improved. If James had known, he would have burst out with even greater talent.

Hollywood is also talking about Suhi, and they are still holding on to Scarlett Johansson's remarks.

The basketball media is concerned about how much court ability Sushi is hiding.

The entertainment media cares about how strong Su Xi's ability in bed is.

This inevitably causes fluctuations in the circle of Hollywood female stars, who are originally chasing popularity, chasing luxury and pursuing uniqueness.

Imagine what else is more topical than Suhi right now? The two new-generation female stars are now soft on all kinds of endorsements because of his continuous film appointments, can other female stars not be blushing?

Moreover, Suxi's mysterious abilities also make them flock to it, and who doesn't want to experience that feeling?

Add to that the mysterious scarcity of 'Suhi the Sheep'.

O'Connor received a lot of invitations, all of them, without exception, to want Sushi to go to fashion events, high-class parties... There was even an appearance fee.

Mike O'Connor thinks that Suhee should go for it in terms of social development.

But Su Xi refused, he was aggressive and extremely strong in basketball-related matters.

But in life, he prefers to stay quietly in his room.

Arenas came to Indiana after the Lakers won the Kings Mountain to get a match point.

"Jack, I never thought your first season would be so successful."

Arenas walked into Suhi's indoor basketball arena and he said, "You have the energy of a superstar right now. ”

Su Xi waved his hand at him and said, "Hey, man, stop talking nonsense. Come and go one-on-one with me. I can't wait to learn something from it. ”

Arenas is a player that Suhi admires, and he is similar to Susie in many ways, so when he is coming to Indiana, Susi immediately invites him to his home and says that he will cook for him.

But as soon as he got out of the car, Suhi prepared him with sports gear.

Arenas said while wearing the Nike protective gear prepared by Suhi: "Don't take a picture of me, I'm Adidas' top star......"

"Isn't it Tracy Maddie?"

"It's going to be me right away."

Arenas is dressed and is about the same height as Suhey and has a similar arm span. He has a lot of power in his upper body, with a lot of explosiveness and speed, as well as excellent jumping. This has been a huge benefit on the offensive end, as he can force jumps and make all sorts of unbelievable shots.

That's probably what Adidas signed him for... Adidas likes to sign this kind of guard who is extremely physical and doesn't shoot easily to be defended.

Isn't that what their number one card, Tracy Maddy, is.

Suhi is very greedy for Arenas's ball-handling jumper, and Suhi wants to improve his ball-handling firepower after getting Reggie Miller's off-ball shooting talent: In today's league, the ability to handle the ball is the gold standard for outside superstars.

Suhi and Arenas have a lot of similarities in their physicality, and it makes sense for him to hit Arenas with his idea.

It was still Arenas who attacked, and Suhi defended.

Arenas showed his housekeeping skills.

After a year, Suhi's strength has multiplied since last summer when she was in Chicago.

Arenas didn't take the first ball very seriously, he actually wanted to shoot easily, but he was directly entangled by Suxi, he wanted to force a shot, but before he could jump, he was pressed down by Suxi with the ball.

"I haven't seen any scandals about you on the Internet recently, why are you suddenly so soft?"

Suhi stimulates Big Brother.

Big Brother suddenly slapped the basketball hard as if he had eaten Viagra, and his eyes widened: "Come again!" ”
