Back in 84, he became Jordan’s lifelong enemy!

Chapter 84: Beat the Mavericks in three quarters, Norm cried!
  "Hi Tom, long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Jack."

Before the game, when the two sides were warming up, Jack Sikoma, who had become the center of the Mavericks, gave Tom Chambers a big hug, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries.

In fact, the two have only worked together for one season, and their relationship cannot be said to be very good.

In fact, the SuperSonics lineup in the new season has changed too much from when Sikoma was with the team in the first two seasons, and there are many unfamiliar faces.

Almost all of his teammates from the championship season have retired or left, and none of them are old faces from that time.

Among the current SuperSonics lineup, the only one who has been his teammate for the longest time is Danny Voness.

But it was only three years.

Moreover, at that time, Vonis was the substitute and he was the main player. Now he is still the main player and Vonis is still the substitute.

The only difference is that he is the Mavericks' main force.

His relationship with Vonis is not as good as with Chambers who was only his teammate for one season.

After chatting with Chambers, he turned around and continued to warm up, leaving Chambers to continue chatting with another former teammate Gus Williams in this half.

After scoring a goal and waiting for the pass from the training staff, Sikoma glanced at Su Wen, who was silently practicing on his own in the opposite half, and felt complicated in his heart.

He thought he would stay with the Sonics until he retired.

I never thought that just a No. [-] pick would be sold by the management.

An All-Star center like him who has been famous for many years has actually become a trading chip for the No. [-] pick.
  At that time, after the deal was concluded and reported, there was huge commotion and jokes.

At that time, many people thought that Les Haberg was fooling around and was doing it in order to get rid of the influence of his former manager Zoli Volchok.

Even Sikoma himself thinks so.

He was angry at that time. Almost as soon as he learned that he was traded to the Mavericks, he called Guis Williams and cursed Haberger.

Even if Williams comforted him with the reason that "the NBA is a business league," he still couldn't accept this fact.

I won a championship for the Sonics, I made contributions to the team, I
  Why did he get such treatment in the end?

A No. [-] pick sold me out?
  I am an all-star insider, and I have become a trading chip for a rookie?

Haberg must be out of his mind!
  However, with the arrival of the new season, Su Wen's incredible performance one after another made his face swollen.

He scored 45 points in his first game, scored 42 points to defeat the Lakers, and scored 55 points in a single game to quench the Rockets.
  The horrific performances made him stunned with his trading chips.

Although he was still unhappy with the deal and Haberg, he could no longer maintain his pride with Su Wen.

It's not like I can't accept such a perverted kid and such a terrifying guy as my bargaining chip.

Therefore, until now, his psychology towards Su Wen is still indescribably complicated.

"Is this No. 9 Su Wen?"

"It's him."

Under the basketball hoop at the SuperSonics half, a group of fans pointed at Su Wen.

"45 points, 46 points, 55 points? Defeating the Lakers? He doesn't look like such a strong person."

"Hey, stop talking, he should be one of ours!"

"Yeah, what a pity! Norm, look at the good thing you did, letting go of a superstar rookie for nothing."

"God bless, please help him not to explode tonight. We don't want to lose to him."

"Damn it, yellow-skinned monkey, get out of here!"

"Uh"

Yellow monkey?

After Su Wen, who was warming up, heard this, his originally calm heart suddenly became filled with anger.

A bunch of white-skinned pigs, just wait for me, I will make you look good tonight.

"Snapped!"

On the evening of November 11th, the game between the Seattle SuperSonics and the Dallas Mavericks officially began.

Both sides sent their strongest lineups to fight.

Supersonic --

No. 211, Tim McCormick, [-]cm;

No. 208, Tom Chambers, [-]cm;

No. 201, Su Wen, [-]cm;

No. 198, Al Wood, [-]cm;

No. 190, Brad Davis, [-]cm.

calf--

No. 211, Jack Sikoma, [-]cm;

No. 208, Kurt Nimfis, [-]cm;

No. 198, Mark Aguirre, [-]cm;

No. 198, Rolando Blackman, [-]cm;

No. 188, Gus Williams, [-]cm.

The average heights of both lineups are similar, but in terms of strength, the Mavericks are more balanced.

Inside there is Sikoma, the former champion of the Sonics, and outside there are scoring masters like Aguirre and Blackman.

At the No. [-] position, Williams is better than Davis in terms of strength.

In short, not many people were optimistic about the Sonics before the game.

Even though the SuperSonics are currently on a seven-game winning streak to start the season, Su Wen has been extremely strong all the way, but in terms of overall strength, they are not very optimistic.

However, the game changes rapidly, and no one can guarantee that the stronger side will win.

What's even more unexpected is that Su Wen acted aggressively as soon as he started.

On the first ball, he took the ball and did it. As if he was in no one's land, he rushed to the basket, aimed at the basket, and dunked hard into the frame.

In the next round, he cut inside again without the ball, faced Blackman's defense, and hit the mid-range shot.

The next minute, he was in the corner, taking a shot as soon as he caught the ball and hitting it long.

This was not over yet, he drove straight from the bottom corner with the ball, passed the defense of Aguirre and Nimfes, and smashed the ball into the basket.

In just four minutes, he scored 12 points on sudden shots and stopped the Mavericks.

At this time, Dick Motta, who was the head coach of the Mavericks at the time, severely criticized Nimfis and Sikoma, the two big men on the inside, believing that the two were too soft on the defensive end and allowed Su Wen to do whatever he wanted. .

He wants them to be tougher.

As for Aguirre, who was guarding Su Wen alone, he bluntly pointed out the fact that the opponent was beaten.

Then began to rearrange the next defense.

They need to strengthen the interior frame protection.

Back on the court, Aguirre, who originally wanted to talk trash to stimulate Su Wen's mentality, shut up immediately when he saw the murderous look in his eyes.

He thought of the 55 points the opponent scored on the Rockets in the last game.

This 55 points in a single game was an achievement that he had never achieved in his previous career.

Tonight, in only four minutes, they scored 12 points. This needs to be more exciting. Maybe they will directly set the highest score in a single game to the 60 club.

Such a terrible look.

Aguirre withdrew his gaze, corrected his mentality, and quickly devoted himself to the offensive end.

Unfortunately, his shot inside was immediately blocked by Su Wen.

The opponent was forced to chase him back after getting rid of him. When he was shooting, he was given a big block from one side that covered his head and face.

After he was blocked, the opponent just ran away with a murderous look in his eyes, and his target was in the direction of the frontcourt.

Wood grabbed the basketball that was blocked by Su Wen, ran to the frontcourt, and finished the score by himself before Su Wen could get involved.

Just after returning from the timeout, they were hit head-on, and the Mavericks were a little flustered.

Gus Williams is indeed one of the important chips in the Suvin trade.

When he advanced forward with the ball, he made a downward gesture to several teammates, telling them to calm down and stabilize their mentality.

He deliberately advanced slowly, which indeed gave several other teammates time to adjust their mentality. Then during the attack, Sikoma successfully broke away from McCormick's entanglement and threw the ball into the basket.

But he never expected that the offense had just ended, and the SuperSonics had quickly received the ball. Davis passed the ball to Su Wen. After a sudden advance, Su Wen rushed to the penalty area and shot. , not waiting for their defense to get into position.

"Shh!"

Looking at the sloppy shot, Su Wen still made it.

Could it be
  Team general manager Norm, who was in the first row of spectators behind the Mavericks bench, trembled slightly in his heart.

Are they going to suffer something serious tonight?

Is this Su Wen also going to pour his powerful firepower on them?
  Su Wen's scoring show continued. He seemed to have endless energy. Throughout the first quarter, he forced himself to attack and score. He scored 23 points by himself.

As for the Mavericks, their offense is a bit stumbling, and they can't always cooperate smoothly.

Aguirre seemed to be invisible under Suvin's defense, and was ineffective throughout the game.

Blackman was also being closely guarded by El Wood and could only contribute limited energy.

At the end of the first quarter, the Sonics entered the second quarter with a score of 37:26.

"Does he want 50+ again tonight?"

"No, I feel like I'm going to reach 60+."

"Scary guy!"

The audience at the scene was a little stunned and very nervous.

When he came back in the second quarter, Lenny Wilkens seemed to want to take advantage of the victory and suddenly strengthened the defense inside, catching the Mavericks off guard and being beaten by the Sonics into fast break counterattacks.

After the first half, the SuperSonics led by 70 points, 48:22.

苏文则在上场的20分钟时间里，21投14中，罚球6中4，一人轰下32分4篮板3封盖2助攻。    半场32分，这可怕的得分能力，已经把小牛球迷给震住了。

Especially those who had spoken ill of him before the game felt very embarrassed at this time.

"Damn boy, you are really not afraid of not being able to leave this venue."

"This yellow-skinned monkey is completely crazy. What are we guys doing?"

"Damn, damn!"

Although they were unhappy with Su Wen a lot, they could only be furious and unable to do anything.

Returning in the second half, Su Wen seemed to have calmed down and began to participate more in the team's offensive system and kept passing the ball.

Mavericks fans were relieved to see that he no longer played hard and continued to put on a terrifying scoring show.

At this time, they no longer care about the team's victory or defeat, they just hope that this guy will stop scoring.

Otherwise, they will have to follow the Rockets' footsteps and be nailed to the shameful frame of the opponent's scoring record.

The Sonics' offense still went smoothly. Although Sikoma scored several consecutive goals and assisted Blackman several times, leading to an 11:4 offensive climax, they soon found themselves in Suwen. Under the leadership of an unreasonable offense, a 15:2 shock wave was produced.

Not only that, in the last four minutes of the third quarter, Su Wen broke out again, hitting consecutive shots, scoring 10 points by one person, and directly opened the point difference to more than 30 points.

At the beginning of the final quarter, Su Wen had not yet come on the court, but the Sonics' substitutes continued their efforts and launched another 10-0 offensive climax.

113:73
  Well, with a 40-point difference, he no longer has to play this time. Their opponent, Mavericks head coach Dick Motta, directly announced his surrender and allowed the bench to continue playing.

Although the Mavericks' substitutes were also very competitive, and in the following game time, they hit a wave of climaxes, and finally scored a big score of 38 points in a single quarter, but they had no choice but to dig a hole in front of them. They can fill it up in one session.

In the end, they could only look at the huge gap of 111:136 helplessly and end the game.

They lost by a full 25 points.

At the end of the game, the home fans' eyes were confused, as if they were in a state of confusion about who I was, where I was, and what I was doing.

But even more unbearable than them is the team's general manager Norm.

He was almost crying and was staring at Su Wen's figure, his eyes full of resentment.

why?

Why did I send him to Seattle?

Am I really out of my mind?
  By the time he came to his senses, the Sonics had finished exiting the game, and Su Wen also ended the on-site interview and returned to the locker room.

"Su, you were too fierce tonight. Is it because you were scolded by the fans here?"

In the locker room, Chambers had finished taking a shower and put on clean and comfortable clothes. He put his arm around Su Wen's shoulders with a smile and asked.

"What do you say?"

Su Wen slapped the other person's hand away and shrugged.

He had just taken off his sweat-soaked jersey, revealing an upper body that was no longer ribs but had obvious muscle lines.

He didn't want his sweat to stain the other person's freshly washed arms.

Chambers didn't mind this. His smile never dimmed and he said coquettishly, "It seems so."

"Originally, I wanted to be like you and blow up the Mavericks, so I was so angry. But since you made the first move, I reluctantly let you do it."

"Thank you." Su Wen rolled his eyelids angrily, "Thank you for letting me."

After saying that, he stopped bitching about this guy and went to the bathroom to wash himself off.

When he came out again, it was already time for the post-game press conference.

As the visiting team that defeated the Mavericks tonight, Su Wen was forced to the podium by Wilkens to be interviewed by a group of reporters.

他今晚35投22中，罚球9中7，再次轰下50+的51分8篮板4助攻4封盖，把现场的记者给震撼到不行。

Perhaps none of these people expected that he would score so many points in two consecutive games.

"Su, congratulations on scoring 50 points again tonight and leading the team to defeat the Mavericks."

A male reporter from ESPN was the first to stand up and congratulate him, and then asked: "Can you tell us why you still scored so many points tonight?"

"You obviously just scored 50+ in the last game."

What he meant to ask was, what aroused you so much?

As soon as he finished asking, Su Wen couldn't help but recall the insults he received from the local fans before the game. He shook his head and still didn't tell the opponent truthfully. Instead, he calmly replied: "50+?"

"You didn't tell me, I didn't even realize I scored so many points."

He smiled and then continued: "I just feel in good condition and feel good in my hand. Just hit it and it will be there."

"I don't mind using up my energy as long as it helps the team."

The reporter didn't get the answer he wanted, so the reporter could only sit down in frustration.

In this kind of post-match media press conference, generally one reporter can only ask one question.

Otherwise, if there are dozens of reporters from different media and everyone asks too many questions, when will this reception end?
  "Su."

At this time, a female reporter stood up, looked at him with a smile, and asked: "You got 50+ again tonight. You achieved something that many superstars find difficult to achieve, two consecutive 50+ games."

"Is the reason you score so many points in a row because your teammates' abilities can't help the team win?"

"We have all seen the number of shots you took. 33 shots in the last game and 35 shots in this game. You took too many shots. Is it because of your teammates?"

"This beauty," when the female reporter wanted to say something else, Su Wen interrupted her.

He took a serious look at the press pass hanging around the other party's neck and sneered: "Your question is full of malice."

"I think you have ulterior motives, so I don't want to answer you, but after thinking about it, I still have to satisfy you."

The Dallas Morning News?
  Ha ha!

From the other party's press card, Su Wen instantly understood why the other party asked such a question. He sneered secretly, but the smile on the surface was full of spring-like warmth.

"You don't have to drive a wedge between us."

"My teammates are all very good. Their abilities are all top-notch in the league. No matter who they are, they can help the team win. It's not just me."

"The reason why I take so many shots is because they all trust me, trust my feel and condition. I am very grateful to them, they are my closest and best comrades and friends."

"then you"

The female reporter listened to his answer with a disdainful and disapproving attitude, but Su Wen suddenly pointed at her and said calmly: "In view of your question just now, I understand your good intentions. ,so."

"I have decided not to accept any interviews from your "Dallas Morning News" in the future!"

"boom!"

When Su Wen's decision was announced, his serious and courageous look directly blew up the scene.

You are so brave!

Each reporter was surprised and puzzled, but they all looked at the female reporter from the "Dallas Morning News" with schadenfreude.

Chambers and Wilkens, who were sitting on both sides of Su Wen, were surprised at first, but they both nodded with understanding smiles and had no intention of interrupting him.

The female reporter went crazy and picked up the microphone to say something rude, but suddenly remembered that she could only ask one question, and sat down angrily.

Then, Su Wen ignored her and continued to be interviewed by other reporters below.

Soon, the post-match press conference was over.

When Su Wen returned to the hotel, he wanted to lie down and rest, but Tom Chambers and Al Wood suddenly knocked on his door.

"You are."

He asked in confusion as he saw that the two of them had changed into casual suits at some point, as if they were going out on the street.

"Jack and Gus invited us to sit at the bar, will you go?"

Chambers smiled and extended the invitation to Su Wen.

Su Wen thought for a moment, shook his head, and refused: "No, I can't drink yet."

Su Wen remembers that American law seems to stipulate that teenagers under the age of 21 cannot drink alcohol.

If you can't drink, why go to a bar?

What's more, he is not familiar with Sikoma and Williams.

The only thing that matters is the transaction.

"Go."

Chambers walked in, hugged his shoulders, and said with a smile: "They mentioned you when they came to invite you, and they also want to get to know you."

"Uh"

Everyone said this, so Su Wen could only agree, "Okay, you guys wait for me."

Then he closed the door and went back to change clothes.

The Sikoma duo seemed to know that they were somewhat unpopular here in Dallas, so they specially booked a box and arranged for bodyguards to call them.

In fact, they don't have to.

There are not many extreme fans in Dallas, and Su Wen and the others did not encounter any unpleasant things along the way.

As Chambers said, Sikoma really wanted to get to know him.

When chatting with them, Sikoma and Williams were more reminiscing about their days in the SuperSonics, and chatting with Chambers about everyday things.

As for Su Wen, they just asked him how he was doing in Seattle, if he went to any fun places, and if they had the opportunity to take him to play with him in the future, etc.

Although Sikoma and the others were traded to Dallas, their house in Seattle was not sold.

When they plan to take a vacation, they still choose to go back to live.

After all, Seattle is known as the most livable city in the United States, and they don't want to leave that city just like that.

During the process, nothing unpleasant happened to both parties, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Su Wen chatted with them until the early morning before leaving together.

　Sorry, I still don't feel well today. I got up late and went to get an injection, so I haven't had time to type.

　　The update is late, sorry everyone!
