"Meat Bodhisattva" Su Xi suffered a Waterloo of a defeat in San Antonio.
The Pacers lost by 18 points. Su Xi himself took 25 shots, making only 9 of them.
The San Antonio Spurs were a traditional powerhouse. Unlike the dysfunctional Lakers, they were a great wall of steel. Bruce Bowen was wrapped around Su Xi all night like a sexy aunt in leopard print.
Bowen was a defensive thug. His dirty footwork was unparalleled in the league; countless superstars had been forced to change their playstyle because of him.
But Su Xi only grew bolder. He not only actively sought out Bowen but even went at Duncan with Bowen still defending him.
Duncan was still full of pent-up frustration from his crushing defeat at the Olympics. This "flying demon" was especially fired up tonight, sandwiching Su Xi in double-teams. Yet even under these circumstances, Su Xi was still able to get his shots off with ease.
He just couldn't make them, that's all.
