BEEP!
The whistle blew, and the game resumed.
Su Xi made his free throw, and the Pacers retained possession.
The Auburn Hills Palace was in an uproar, putting constant pressure on the head referee and the Pacers players.
But Su Xi was completely unfazed.
He calmly sank the free throw, then took the ball from Little O'Neal.
He dribbled to the top of the arc as Tony Battie came over to set a screen.
Su Xi drove in a straight line with explosive acceleration, charging directly for the paint. Ben Wallace scrambled to chase him from behind, but Su Xi pressed forward fearlessly. As Su Xi leaped into the air, Ben Wallace collided with him forcefully from behind... Everyone saw the dangerous play: Wallace's right hand slammed onto Su Xi's shoulder, pulling him back with incredible strength. If Wallace had brought him down from the air, Su Xi would have very likely landed on the back of his head and suffered a concussion.
Anyone could see it was an extremely dangerous, flagrant foul.
