Su Wan had read the newspaper that morning, and his statement about bringing a championship to Indiana had made headlines in several media outlets. But he really had no idea that Indiana folks had already dubbed him "Agent 99."
He just didn't know what Washington's "Agent 0" would think about it.
Considering Arenas's "Brother Pingtou" personality, there would probably be an unavoidable "battle of the agents" at some point.
But who cared about that now? Su Wan needed to focus on nailing his game debut.
His speech at the fan square and the bold statements at the press conference had successfully reignited the interest of some of the Pacers fans who were previously solely focused on venting their frustration.
One hour before the game, the stands were already 80 percent full.
The box office backstage showed that all over eighteen thousand tickets at the Conseco Arena had sold out. About eight thousand of those were sold after Su Wan's press conference yesterday.
