For the people of Dallas, Su Wan was their eternal heartbreak.
In 2006, the Mavericks made their only finals appearance in the team's history, only to suffer a "lead one to lost four," starting a string of humiliating reversals that included being "Black Eight" by the Warriors and "Black Seven" by the Spurs.
Dirk Nowitzki became the NBA's biggest softie.
And because of this, Dallas became the "City of Softies."
For Dallas people, who take pride in being "Cowboys," this was truly a deep-seated hatred.
Su Wan was seen as the source of it all... They believed that if the Mavericks had won the championship in 2006, everything would have been different, but Su Wan, that despicable outsider, ruined it all.
Their suffering began from this.
So...
Even if it was just a chance to break the New York Knicks' regular-season "home invincibility," the people of Dallas were so excited.
