Chapter 280 The road to “goat” and the big deal.

“Let us congratulate Suwan for winning his 7th championship in his career!”

Bill Walton was yelling, too.

His eyes were full of disbelief.

There’s no way, this is just too scary!

In his 8-year professional career, he only failed to win a championship in one year.

From his personal perspective, he has now won three consecutive championships and four consecutive championships, which is even more awesome than Michael Jordan.

At least that’s what the numbers show.

What’s even more terrifying is Su Wan’s age, he is only 26 years and 340 days old!
There are still 27 days left until I turn 22!

It’s just…

monster!

In fact, Bill Walton feels touched every year when he sees Suwan win the championship.

He had been inspired since he led the Pacers to their first championship in their first year with the team, but what he was thinking at the time was:

This new Chinese guy seems very different.

At that time, he never thought that Su Wan could win seven championships in eight years!
And every time he watched Suwan win the championship, Bill Walton’s heart became more and more excited, with that kind of excitement of seeing the birth of a legend with his own eyes.

At this moment, when Suwan won the championship again and held up the seventh championship trophy in his career, a word immediately popped up in his mind:

goat!

If Su Wan’s sixth championship established his godhood, then Su Wan’s seventh championship made him take another solid step towards the title of “goat”.

What is a “goat”? It is the most protruding part of a goat’s horn.

That’s unique!
Su Wan is becoming the only one.

Ok……

What Bill Walton thinks at this moment is similar to what Barkley is emphasizing: “He is the chosen one and the only one.”

There was applause from the audience.

These applause are for Kevin Durant and the Thunder players.

虽然他们最终还是被0-4淘汰，就像S14的8强赛上，TES遇上了SKT1一般毫无还手之力。

But to be honest…

By being able to make it to the finals, this Thunder “young army” has actually exceeded their mission!
After all, before the start of this season, no one expected that the Western Conference team to enter the finals would be the Thunder!
The commentators also temporarily turned their attention to the losing Thunder team.

Kenny Smith thought of a question: “Do you think Kevin Durant will become the next glider?”

He means……

Will Kevin Durant, like Drexler, completely lose the qualification to be compared with Suwan after this game? After the original “Glider” lost the 92 Finals, no one compared him with Michael Jordan anymore!

Barkley said: “LeBron has been defeated by Suwan so many times, but there are still media comparing him with Suwan?”

Shaquille O’Neal said: “The biggest difference between the Glider and LeBron is that in 92, he was already 30 years old. At that time, this age was the age when he began to decline from his peak. If he didn’t beat Michael at that age, there would naturally be no hope in the future!”

“There is another very important reason. Glider joined the Rockets not long after and became the second core of the Rockets.”

“You should know that in our era, Core No. 1 was only compared with Core No. 1!”

“If it was in the early 00s, we would think that Allen Iverson had a higher historical status than Scottie Pippen because he had the regular season MVP and was the boss of the team!”

“Kevin is only 24 years old now, almost 3 years younger than Suwan. This is not his absolute peak yet, so in my opinion… as long as Kevin Durant keeps his current strength, he will soon become Suwan’s challenger!”

At this time, Su Wan also took the initiative to step forward and greet Kevin Durant: “I believe you can drink the bath water, but for me and Scarlett, forget it!”

Kevin Durant, who was already depressed, became even more depressed after hearing this.

But in this round of the finals, he was completely defeated in the duel with Su Wan.

In 4 games, we were beaten cleanly 0-4.

In these four games, he averaged 4 points, 23 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, and his statistics are not as good as usual.

If we analyze the efficiency value, it will be even more disgusting!
每场比赛他出手25.5次，命中其中的8.5球，投篮命中率33.3%；三分球场均8投2中，命中率25%；连场均罚球命中率也只有61.5%！

Looking at Su Wan again, he averaged 32.5 points, 7 rebounds and 4.5 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of 50%, a three-point shooting percentage of 43.7% and a free throw percentage of 95.8%!

In total, Su Wan made 24 free throws and only missed 1!
The efficiency value of the “180 Club” level made Kevin Durant face Su Wan’s ridicule, and he could only silently say in his heart:
Wait!

I’ll create a few more accounts to curse you to death when I get back!
Kevin Durant left in a huff.

Suwan greeted Westbrook and James Harden again.

Harden turned his head and looked at Stephen Curry before leaving.

They were all rookies in 09, but now they are about to win their second championship. Look at him, he made it to the finals for the first time in his career, but had his head shaved by Stephen Curry.

He envied Stephen Curry’s life…

At this time, the staff brought the championship T-shirt.

As he put his clothes on, the Oklahomans on the sidelines began to leave, but not many people left, and two-thirds of the fans were still waiting on the sidelines.

They had never seen the champion at such a close distance, and their eyes were full of curiosity…

Ray Allen has already changed into his championship T-shirt.

Standing in the center of the court, watching his teammates putting on championship T-shirts one after another, he subconsciously glanced at the game. Until this moment, he still had a feeling of unreality.

I really……

Won the championship?
He couldn’t believe it.

From 96 to now, 16 years, 15 seasons of pursuit, until this year, he is finally going to hold the championship trophy.

He felt extremely sad in his heart.

He hasn’t been a very important player for the New York Knicks this season.

Even though he was a starter in the Eastern Conference Finals, he played in 60 games during the regular season, averaging 23.4 minutes per game and scoring 9.8 points per game.

In the playoffs, his average playing time increased somewhat, but it was only 26.4 minutes, and he only scored 10.5 points per game.

At most, he is an important member of the New York Knicks’ bench, but he is definitely not a main force, let alone a core player.

This is also where he felt sad:
As a core player back then, he fought hard but failed to win the championship. Now, as a substitute player, he has advanced all the way. In the entire four rounds of playoffs, he only lost one game and won the final championship.

Could it be that……

I am not born to be the core of the team and win the championship?
Ray Allen has been compromising in order to win the championship over the years, from the “big boss” of the Supersonics, to the “core player” of the Boston Celtics, and then to the “substitute player” of the New York Knicks…

He finally won the championship and fulfilled his dream, but he felt a little unhappy!
David Stern also appeared at this time with the championship trophy.

Another player whose eyes flashed with emotion was…

Kwame Brown, the No. 01 pick in , was a man whose career’s highlight came when he was selected in the draft. However, he became an abandoned bargaining chip on the Lakers’ road to building a strong team. When his contract expired last summer, he thought his career was over.

What awaits him next should be a minimum salary contract.

The final result was both the same and different from what he expected.

The similarity is that this is indeed a low-salary contract, but the difference is that this contract comes from the New York Knicks.

That’s how he came to New York and became a member of the New York Knicks.

just now……

He became a member of the championship team this season.

Even though he averaged less than 5 minutes per game, and even though he only played two games in the playoffs, he is a genuine member of the championship team!
With such a career, he finally won the championship…

Oh, God!
Is this a joke you’re playing on me?

There was a relieved smile on Kwame Brown’s face.

His career is locked in, and at 31 years old it’s impossible to change that.

and so……

Just let it be “parallel imported number one scholar”!

Anyway, he won the championship!
Su Wan noticed everyone’s gazes.

But he didn’t notice Kwame Brown’s somewhat sad look.

He didn’t have much in common with Brown.

There is no way, this is a “water dispenser manager”, even participating in team training depends on the head coach’s arrangement. – In fact, Suwan also thought about transforming Kwame Brown at the beginning, but when he arrived at the New York Knicks, he was already 30 years old and his physical functions began to decline. All the assumptions about him that should have disappeared basically disappeared. He only had one advantage left, that is, his lower limb strength is very good, and he can do pick-and-roll screens on the court.

However, this season, the New York Knicks do not rely on the ball handler’s screen and then breaking through the basket as their main offensive means.

This season, more pick-and-rolls are initiated by the inside ball handler and the outside player.

He also lacks good mobility and is not suitable for the New York Knicks’ system.

If Kwame Brown had met Suwan four years earlier, Suwan might have been able to train him to have more potential. As for now… everything is a foregone conclusion and there is nothing Suwan can do.

Just like Wang Zhizhi did not go to the Mavericks immediately after the draft, thus missing the best opportunity to receive training from old Nelson.

By the time he arrived at the Mavericks, the Mavericks already had Nowitzki.

Moreover, most of Wang Zhizhi’s abilities had already been finalized. In the end, this talented power forward who once dominated Yao Ming in the CBA only played as a water cooler in the NBA for a few seasons before leaving the NBA with regret.

But for Kwame Brown, there is more than just this one thing that has turned his luck around.

Soon, the title of “the worst top scholar” will belong to someone else!

Of course, this is assuming that the future of the NBA does not change…

Jimmy Butler and Isaiah Thomas, who are also “important parts of the bench”, also won the championship trophy for the first time in their careers, but as freshmen, their expressions at this moment were more of longing and excitement.

The NBA championship trophy is the league’s highest achievement, and many superstars have never been able to win this award in their entire lives.

Now they have this award in their pocket as soon as they enter the league.

Apart from excitement, what remains is infinite yearning for the future.

Barkley looked at the two guys flashing past the camera and showed an envious look.

People are really different.

He ran around for the championship, but finally only made it to the finals in 93, where he met “God Joe”, who beat him so hard that he lost all his temper. In the end, he joined a team, but failed to win even a championship trophy. Look at these two guys, who almost sat on the bench for the entire season, but now they are wearing championship T-shirts.

As for what, the championship they won like this has no gold content…

Barkley in 93 agreed.

But in 12, Barkley only felt that these two people were lucky.

Once you enter the league, you will have everything!

As a representative, Su Wan lifted the championship trophy.

There was a huge booing at the scene.

This was Oklahoma City fans’ final way of disgusting the Knicks players.

What they don’t know is…

The louder they yell, the more it stimulates the team.

When Artest received the championship trophy, he waved the trophy in his hand toward the audience. After watching several Thunder fans break their defense, he turned around with satisfaction and returned to the team.

David Stern announced the Finals MVP of this season at this time. Without any suspense, Suwan was elected Finals MVP for the fourth consecutive year.

It was Bill Russell who awarded him the Finals MVP.

The old man said something naughty again: “Come on, Su, you only need 4 championships to catch up with me!”

Su Wan smiled and shook his head.

I have to admit, Bill Russell is terrifying.

He has played in this league for 8 seasons.

In 7 of those seasons, they won the championship.

But he still has four championships to go before he can match Bill Russell.

To be honest, if Bill Russell had the Finals MVP trophy at that time, maybe Michael Jordan would have no chance of getting the title of “GOAT”.

Su Wan had reason to believe that these celebrities probably had too few entertainment programs at that time, and they were bored every day and spent a lot of time thinking about who they would meet next and what kind of naughty words they would say.

otherwise……

How can this “trash talk” be like a sow wearing a bra, one set after another?
Suwan held up the Finals MVP trophy, and the audience booed again. But from these boos, he saw the streets and alleys of New York in chaos!
New York should have become Gotham with simple folk customs by now…

After a few simple acceptance speeches, the host began to ask questions: “Suwan, congratulations on successfully defending the title with the New York Knicks. Now you have more championships than Michael, and you have also won more Finals MVPs than Michael. So, I would like to ask you, what is your next goal?”

Su Wan asked back: “You are not from New York, right?”

The host was stunned for a moment, then nodded: “Yes, I am not!”

“No wonder!” Su Wan showed an understanding expression, then he looked at the camera and turned his head to look at the host: “If you were a New Yorker, then you would never ask the current question. All New Yorkers know what my next goal is…”

Now that we have achieved two consecutive championships…

Of course…

“Build a New York Dynasty!”

This caused another huge booing from the audience.

Su Wan frowned slightly. He could no longer pretend not to hear. He picked up the microphone again just as he was about to put it down. He continued: “Of course, I know that this must be a difficult task. After all…”

“I can’t keep running into a team like the Thunder!”

Just one sentence was enough to break down two-thirds of the Thunder fans in the stands.

Their faces turned red and they couldn’t say anything.

There is no way, Su Wan’s words are too heartbreaking…

But they couldn’t say anything to refute it.

because……

The Thunder lost really badly, they had no power to fight back at all.

But Su Wan hadn’t finished yet: “This year was the easiest finals I’ve ever played in!”

All right!

Completely breaking the defense!

Not only the fans at the scene were shocked, but also Kevin Durant, who was being interviewed, was shocked. He repeatedly confirmed: “Did Suwan really say that we were the easiest opponent he had ever faced in the finals?”

Seeing the reporter nod several times, he immediately shouted towards the camera:
“Then let’s wait and see!”

“I swear, we will be back in the new season!”

“and……”

“Su Wan will also pay the price for what he said!”

The reporters surrounding him were all stunned.

Especially the reporters in Oklahoma.

They even showed some relief in the next second.

It’s the kind of satisfaction that comes from the pig at home growing up and being able to eat cabbages!
There is no doubt about Kevin Durant’s ability. In their opinion, he is even the most capable new generation since Suwan in 04.

His only problem may be that he doesn’t know how to make harsh remarks in front of the media cameras.

but now……

They saw Kevin Durant’s role as the “Thor”.

They believe that Kevin Durant, who has a more extroverted personality, will definitely make this team stronger in the new season!
Kevin Durant himself was stunned for a moment.

no……

What did I say?
I said I would make Su Wan pay for his words?

How could I say what was in my heart?

Forget it…

Just think of it as giving yourself a little extra motivation!

Kevin Durant’s gaze became more determined.

The next morning, his remarks were reported by major media websites.

Kevin Durant looked through these reports and most of the media gave him positive feedback, saying that it was not easy for him to have such a positive momentum after just being completely defeated.

In their opinion, Kevin Durant will become even more terrifying in the new season.

Kevin Durant watched these sounds, hummed softly and lit himself a joint…

In the smoke, he felt even more excited when reading the comments of these media people.

Then, his whole body became light and blurry.

In this daze, he seemed to see himself reaching the finals again in the new season, completing his revenge against Su Wan, and then taking a bath with Scarlett.

This is it. This is it…

This is the picture!

Beautiful, so beautiful!
Kevin Durant, who had regained consciousness, immediately picked up another marijuana stick.

He wanted to have this beautiful dream for a while longer.

I’ll just indulge myself for this day, and starting tomorrow I’ll start training.

Kevin Durant’s remarks accounted for about 5% of the total coverage that morning, and the remaining 95% were all about Suwan!
This championship is Suwan’s 7th championship in his career!
As Bill Walton said, Suwan has now completed his pursuit of Michael Jordan.

Next comes the stage where he surpasses Michael Jordan!

First, he has achieved the first step:
After he won his seventh championship in his career, anyone or any media, as long as they ranked the historical status of NBA players with respect, would not rank Michael Jordan’s name ahead of Suwan’s.

Because 7 plus 7 is greater than 6 plus 6!

Now Suwan has surpassed Jordan in terms of statistics.

But to completely surpass it, we have to talk about some minor details:

For example, Michael Jordan used the same lineup to lead the Bulls to three consecutive championships twice in the 90s.

The difficulty of this achievement is even higher than “8 consecutive championships”!

This is also a very critical step for Michael Jordan to become a “goat”.

If Suwan wants to surpass Michael Jordan, he must do what he did and win two “three consecutive championships” with the same team…

This is a hard condition because:

What he needs to do is not to be on par with Jordan, but to surpass Jordan.

So for those media people who chase after details, there is only one way to convince them, and that is to copy Michael Jordan’s “miracle”!
Of course……

As long as Suwan can win the championship next season and help New York complete the “three consecutive championships”, the title of “GOAT” can be worn on his head.

At least in New York, Suwan, who holds 8 championships, is definitely the “GOAT”.

But in order to climb to the position of “GOAT” and completely squeeze Michael Jordan to the position of “second in history”, Suwan still needs a new round of consolidation.

This is why Su Wan’s initial goal was to be number one on the three lists of Finals trophy, MVP and FMVP!

It’s really a coincidence.

After Suwan wins the championship next year and brings the first “dynasty” in the history of New York team, he will be only three trophies away from 11 championship trophies. At the same time, he is only one “three consecutive championships” away from replicating Michael Jordan’s miracle of winning two “three consecutive championships” with the same team!
Just right!

However, these are Su Wan’s own thoughts.

Sports Illustrated stopped pretending and came clean. They directly announced the cover of the new issue that morning:

Su Wan was holding a basketball in both hands, with four letters above his head:

goat!

ABC commentator Hubie Brown’s remarks last night also made the league’s “hot search” list: “In the next few years, the entire league will fight against Suwan together. I have already seen that scene!”

Grouping has been popular in this league since 07.

Some media believe that Suwan’s first three championships were also achieved by working together.

However, after the team was eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals in the fourth season and began to suffer from the “dynasty sequelae”, Suwan’s last two championship trophies with the Pacers and the two championship trophies he won with the New York Knicks helped him dispel these doubts.

Strictly speaking, Suwan’s seven championship trophies were won by him with three different core teams.

Especially when he won his first championship with the New York Knicks, he led a group of rookies all the way to the final championship!
Of course, some media also believe that Su Wan is lucky.

Including the New York Knicks’ championship this year, many people also think so.

because……

At the end of the season, considering the status of these teams in the league, the Lakers are considered the Western Conference team with the greatest chance of winning the championship.

As a result, Yao Ming was injured, turning the Lakers’ championship dream this season into a pipe dream.

Then there are the Spurs, who are first in the Western Conference record…

They also fell in the Western Conference semifinals because of Tim Duncan’s injury.

The two Western Conference powerhouses both suffered injuries, which led to the Clippers’ “Western Conference Finals dream” and the Thunder’s first trip to the Finals in team history.

This is similar to the situation last year when the Pacers and the Heat had a big fight, which ended up sending the New York Knicks to the finals.

It’s no wonder that these media once again mentioned the “luck theory”.

The New York media did not pay attention to these sour comments from the outside world.

Well, the New York media seemed quite happy to hear about this good fortune.

After all, luck is in New York, which is definitely a good thing for the Knicks.

They look forward to the “championship luck” continuing to stay in New York and helping the Knicks win another championship!
In this way, the New York Knicks can establish a “three consecutive championship dynasty”!

When that day really comes, no one will care whether you won the championship by luck or not. Everyone will only say that New York has become the fifth city in NBA history to have a “three-consecutive championship dynasty.”

And, if anything, the New York media thinks this is fair…

It took them ten years of luck to get Su Wan!

Now the luck of winning the championship is gathering in New York, which is normal!

They are not a team like the Los Angeles Lakers that doesn’t give but only takes!
Since 1970, the Lakers have been looking for stars from other teams to accumulate “championship luck”, from Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to Shaquille O’Neal to Kobe Bryant, and then Pau Gasol. These have allowed the Lakers to have a good role in every era, including the 90s, when they at least made it to the finals once…

But it doesn’t matter, it’s not that I won’t retaliate, it’s just that the time has not come yet!
Just wait, Los Angeles, you’ll have something to worry about!

The front-page headlines of all media in New York today are about Suwan and the New York Knicks who successfully defended their title.

Once upon a time, the pride of this city was the New York Yankees!
There are a total of 27 championship trophies so far.

But with the death of Steinbrenner and the strong rise of other teams in the league, the Yankees have only won one championship in the past decade, which was in 1 three years ago.

Entering the 10s, their best result was losing in the finals.

It can’t compare to the New York Knicks winning the championship for two consecutive years.

It can be described in two words:
“The God who goes up the mountain” and “The God who goes down the mountain”.

The New York Yankees are the “God that went down the mountain” and have been forgotten by New York fans, as if the city has never been proud of this team.

All eyes in New York are on Suwan and the Knicks.

The cover of The New York Times features a photo of Suwan holding up the championship trophy, with the same four letters written next to it as on the latest preview poster of Sports Illustrated:

goat!

The cover of the New York Times features New Yorkers marching in the streets last night to celebrate the New York Knicks’ title defense.

It is worth mentioning that although the New York Knicks have won two championships, “two consecutive championships” is something that no one in the team’s history has ever achieved, including the city’s former legend Reed.

Now Su Wan has done it!
Many New York fans have already petitioned the government to allocate a piece of land in the city center to build a statue of Suwan to protect the city!
Of course, there are more extreme petitions:

A large number of New York fans launched a parade, which directly led to the resignation of the New York mayor and Su Wan was allowed to lead New York…

It is for this reason that Su Wanshun got another nickname:
Mayor of New York!

The good news is that there is no such slogan as “fxxk Suwan”.

In addition, there are countless New York media that are praising Su Wan.

Even more excited than them were the New York fans.

Last night, they made a lot of noise all night long. All the police officers from many police stations were mobilized and worked all night long. They just called it a day.

But the fans of the injured players who celebrated till the end last night were quiet, but during the day another large wave of “zombies” appeared, no… a large wave of New York fans began to understand.

The streets were in a mess.

Su Wan woke up early in the morning, ready to discuss the details of the acquisition with Nike, and drove out in his newly purchased Hummer. However, as soon as he got to the street, crazy fans fearlessly blocked his way.

When they saw clearly that it was Su Wan, they immediately lined up and saluted Su Wan.

Risby!

When Su Wan saw this situation, he immediately went back and changed into a Ferrari that was more familiar to New York fans.

Now no one stopped his car. Everyone’s reaction was similar, either cheering, shouting, or saluting Su Wan’s car like the fans did at the beginning.

As Suwan won New York’s second championship.

The love of New York for him has reached a new height.

At 9: in the morning, Su Wan and Tai Lun met the Nike people in the tea restaurant where they had agreed to meet in advance.

The specific acquisition details have been finalized by both parties:

Suwan received 3% of Nike’s shares, while Nike owned 49% of his shares. Suwan has the right to operate his own brand, use Nike’s designers and production lines, and arrange his own people to join Nike’s various departments for more systematic learning.

After taking another look at the contract and confirming that there were no problems, Su Wan signed the contract.

His personal brand:

“Su Wan” is officially launched.

As the first pair of “signature shoes” of his personal brand, Suwan has actually been communicating and discussing with Nike designers since last year.

Even Su Wan has seen the final sample, which is just waiting to be polished in details before going into production.

For the production part, Su Wan found his own processing plant and assembly line in the country.

When the contract was signed, the assembly line officially started operation.

Tai Lun had a new identity and quickly arranged media channels to prepare for the promotion of “Su Wan’s Generation”.

At the same time, Suwan met with senior executives of ESPN.

The first basketball reality show “This is Streetball” sponsored by his personal brand was officially launched.

Su Wan drew up a list of invited guests:
Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Marbury, Alston.

When seeing these four names, ESPN executives were stunned.

He knew very well that if these five people appeared on a variety show at the same time, the ratings would definitely go off the charts, but…

Can?

Su Wan left a message: “Just invite them. If you can’t invite them, just call me!”

The ESPN executive almost blurted out: “I want to call you right now!”

Among these people, it is not difficult to invite Marbury and Alston, but Michael Jordan and Kobe…

How to invite?
Su Wan looked at their embarrassment and talked about the two requirements of this program:

Suwan will receive 45% of all advertising sponsorship revenue; then, as the only sneaker brand, “Suwan” has the first right to sign all players.

When the ESPN executives saw Suwanti’s two requests, they couldn’t help but curse in their hearts:
Really cruel!

But after Suwan said before that he wanted to invite Kobe and Michael Jordan to join this variety show, the senior management of ESPN was also very clear that even if Suwan did not cooperate with them, he would not lack next home.

Perhaps other platforms can gain more fans at once by relying on such a popular basketball variety show, thus having an impact on them.

This is something ESPN executives don’t want to see.

But they obviously also realized how strong the program’s subsequent money-making ability was.

Especially when it explodes…

That is even more…

They even wanted to buy “Suwan” shares at a high price.

Unfortunately, Su Wan doesn’t have any extra shares.

ESPN made up its mind and simply took out 1% of their equity in exchange for dividends after “Su Wan” signed popular players.

In fact, ESPN is not looking for such a small profit.

Instead, he wanted to bind Su Wan more deeply.

They are very optimistic that “This is Streetball” will become a milestone basketball variety show in the history of basketball.

Su Wan is still very confident about this.

Take the original “This is Slam Dunk” for example. The internet celebrity players who became popular in the first season include Zhang Ning, Zhou Rui, and Yang Zheng. Their traffic is obviously much larger than those that came later.

The same is true for other variety shows, such as “The Voice of China” and “The Rap of China”, which are the most impressive in their first seasons…

First, it is because of the novelty of the column;

Secondly, most of the people who come to participate in the program at this time want to change their current situation or move themselves to a higher level through this program, so they will work very hard in the program.

Su Wan believes that there are also many golfers on the streets of America who are eager for such an opportunity to change their destiny.

and……

Su Wan still has a “big move”!
After finalizing the contract, ESPN began recruiting online.

When I heard that the final championship team could sign a contract with “Suwan”, it might even be possible for them to sell their signature shoes on “Suwan”.

A group of street basketball players suddenly went crazy!
You know, since AND1 that year, no force has tried to reorganize the street league. In addition, AND1 has gradually weakened, and the overall development of the American street ball circle is still around 02.

A big thing happened on the street at that time:
The super popular player “Ladder” died unexpectedly.

It is for this reason that no force is willing to integrate the street league.

In a league like this, it is very difficult to create stars.

The self-discipline of street basketball players is far inferior to that of NBA players.

Add to that the chaos in the streets…

Star players are more likely to have accidents.

These reasons combined have led to the streetball circle’s exposure stagnating.

But now, “This is Streetball” imitates “American Idol” and selects the best “streetball player” through PK, which immediately reduces the cost of star-making. And there is no fear of loss at all, and the one who stays to the end is naturally the “star among stars”!
And among American street basketball players, who doesn’t want to become the final “star among stars”?

In addition to registration, ESPN also sent invitations to world-renowned street basketball players, giving them direct access to the event.

This was Su Wan’s idea.

Anyone who plays on the street mainly focuses on the “face project”.

As long as they have enough face, they will definitely accept the invitation, and they may even say to others: “I didn’t want to go at first, but there is no other way. The production team gave me a direct pass, so I’ll go and have fun!”

The registration went smoothly.

What Su Wan didn’t expect was…

There was a problem with finding sponsorship!

Only less than 4 million people were recruited in two days.

Compared with other programs, this is already a good result.

But for Su Wan, it would definitely not pass.

He pulled all the sponsors who had invested or wanted to invest into the conference room and announced something to them: “In order to increase the audience’s participation, there will be a CALL segment!”

“For the brands that sponsor the most, we will link the number of votes to the products. For example, if Kroger becomes the largest sponsor, then fans who want to support their favorite stars must buy your condensed milk or milk. Or like Chris, if you make napkins, fans who want to vote need to buy your products to vote for their favorite stars…”

“In addition to popularity voting, we also have resurrection voting and other voting links, and the votes will be tied to your products.”

“But for all this, we only choose the biggest sponsors, so…”

“Everyone, if you want to get this opportunity, I hope to see your sincerity!”

The conversation was very effective, and according to information obtained from ESPN staff, competition among sponsors suddenly became fierce.

Su Wan then turned his attention back to the “Champions Parade” on the 15th.

Just like last year, Dolan invited the “old actor” Bomber to open the “Champions Parade”.

Last year’s New Yorkers were crazy.

This year is no less impressive.

The defense filled the whole city with a bit of wildness.

In fact, from the time Suwan lifted the trophy to today, which has been about a week, the excitement of New York fans has never stopped.

The streets of New York are bustling every day.

The frenzied parade continued to the scene.

And when Su Wan appeared on the sightseeing bus, this wildness was even more…

Erin found the right angle and took a photo that could be included in Time:

At this moment, Su Wan is the God of New York!

She had never seen New Yorkers look so crazy at any star or celebrity. This made her think:
“Two consecutive championships” is so crazy, what if it’s “three consecutive championships”…

Erin gasped.

I don’t dare to think about it, I really don’t dare to think about it!
The parade ended and the sightseeing bus returned to Madison Square Garden.

Dolan called on a large group of stars to join him to celebrate today’s championship parade.

Su Wan met Scarlett again, and this time he did not avoid her enthusiasm.

This made Scarlett’s face flash with suspicion, and then she decisively chose to step back.

But how could Su Wan let her escape?

He immediately stopped her and said, “Scarlett, we have met so many times, we should be considered friends, right?”

Scarlett felt even more strange and looked at Su Wan warily: “I don’t have a friend like you.”

Su Wan didn’t care what she was saying at all. He pulled her to the side and “forced” her to sit down. Fortunately, Kevin Durant didn’t see it. Otherwise, he would hate her even more!
Scarlett couldn’t break free, and said unhappily, “What on earth do you want to do?”

Su Wan then said, “You should know that I recently collaborated with ESPN on a program.”

Scarlett did know: “That basketball show, right?”

After getting Su Wan’s confirmation, she showed a puzzled expression:
So?

What has it got to do with me?
Su Wan said: “You know, every basketball team has a cheerleading team!”

“So you want me to be a cheerleader for you?” Scarlett’s eyes were full of curses:
Do you know how much I’m worth now?
Su Wan pretended not to notice her reaction and clapped his hands: “How smart, Scarlett, it seems that you agree to help me with this, thank you very much!”

Scarlett was amused by his shameless behavior. She smiled and raised the cup in her hand: “Okay, I can do you this favor, but you have to do me a favor in the future.”

“Anything is fine except being your boyfriend!” Su Wan picked up the cup from the side.

Scarlett rolled her eyes to the sky: “Don’t worry, even if you want to, I don’t want it!”

“Ping!”

The two cups collided with each other, making a crisp sound.

The deal is done.

Su Wan asked casually: “Can you introduce other women to me? I’m still short of a few cheerleaders!”

Scarlett was a little dissatisfied: “Isn’t it enough to have me?”

Su Wan didn’t even think about it: “Of course it’s not enough!”

“You…” Scarlett almost jumped up and hit Su Wan’s knee. Finally, she said angrily, “I’ll contact someone for you!”

Su Wan was a little worried: “At least it should be of your level. I don’t want it if it’s too ugly!”

Then, before Scarlett was about to pour the wine in the glass on him, Su Wan slipped away.

After finalizing the female guest, Su Wan began to contact Michael Jordan and Kobe.

Kobe disagreed at first, but after being provoked by him, he agreed.

As for Michael Jordan, this is really ridiculous, but it doesn’t matter, Su Wan has a “trump card”: “The Bobcats haven’t made it to the playoffs yet, right? Well, as long as you agree to participate in my variety show, I will give you two names. As long as your team selects them this summer, I guarantee that they will make it to the playoffs in less than two years!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Michael Jordan, who had disagreed with Su Wan before, fell silent.

He was very moved.

After all, Su Wan’s vision is indeed excellent.

As mentioned earlier, Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant both performed at the regular season MVP level, even though they did not win the award.

What’s even worse is that OJ Mayo really reached his peak as soon as he debuted, and now he is getting worse and worse!

However, Michael Jordan coughed dryly and said, “Listen, little bitch. I don’t need you to provide me with any list. But the quality of this draft is too poor. I think they are all the same. I am only good at selecting geniuses! Since it’s just a matter of choosing a good one from a bunch of bad ones…just choose for me if you want!”

Ok……

Look at Jordan.

This is a profound interpretation of what it means to be “hard-mouthed”!
Anyway, I just don’t want to admit that there is something wrong with my vision.

He even refused to admit that he was tempted by Su Wan’s proposal.

“And…you can’t tell anyone else that you chose these two people for me!”

“Don’t worry!” Su Wan now understood why Scarlett rolled her eyes at that time, “Hurry up and tell me, who are the Bobcats’ two draft picks this summer?”

“The second pick in the first round, and the 33rd pick in the second round…”

Su Wan immediately looked up the list of rookies in this draft, looking for familiar names, and quickly locked on two of them: “You can choose Damian Lillard with the second pick in the first round!”

“Then with the 33rd overall pick in the second round, you can choose… Khris Middleton!”

“Can these two do it? And Suwan, don’t you know that the Bobcats chose Kemba Walker last season?” Michael Jordan questioned.

Su Wan said impatiently: “Anyway, he is definitely more of a star than Michael Gilchrist, who you are all paying attention to!”

Michael Jordan nodded.

No more doubts.

This is what he wanted to ask:

Who is better, this guy named Lillard or Michael Gilchrist?

Now Su Wan gave him the answer.

Then came June 6th.

The annual draft.

Su Wan and Irene were still in the studio commenting on the talent show.

From the outside world’s perspective, the 12 draft was undoubtedly a “weak year”, even though Anthony Davis was included in the draft.

In fact, thanks to such a genius this year, otherwise this would not be a “weak year for the draft” but a “wasted year for the draft”!

From Su Wan’s perspective, this was a rare time when the experts were right.

This year is indeed not a “big year for the draft.”

Apart from Anthony Davis, the only players in the first round of this year’s draft who eventually became stars were Lillard, Drummond, and Draymond Green in the second round!

It can be seen that the yield rate is very low!
Before the game, Irene asked as usual if there was a regular season MVP-level player in this draft. Suwan only said one name: “No. 1 pick Anthony Davis!”

“Only him?” Irene was a little surprised.

This year’s class is too miserable, isn’t it?

She also didn’t think Su Wan was deliberately concealing the truth, because the New York Knicks did not have any draft picks this year, and all of their draft picks had been traded.

So this means that the 2012 draft is really a “weak year” for the draft!

Originally, this year’s No. 1 pick belonged to the Hornets.

But because the Hornets got Pau Gasol, the “No. 1 pick” that year eventually fell into the hands of the Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick for two consecutive years, and they chose Anthony Davis without hesitation.

In this way, Cleveland has formed the “best second-in-command bond” of Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis.

Then the Bobcats selected Lillard in the first round as Suwan said and Khris Middleton in the second round.

Suwan remembered that the Bobcats also had Biyombo in the interior.

With just these three guys, not to mention the others, it should be no problem for the team to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

If they can get a better inside player, they may be able to reach the Eastern Conference semifinals.

but……

There is no higher possibility!
Michael Jordan really had no luck.

It happened that this year Su Wan had something to ask him.

If this happened in 11 or 13, the Bobcats would definitely have a better foundation.

As the “worst of the 75 players”, Lillard’s ability to lead a team may only be at the level of the first round of the playoffs, which is similar to the level of “Yao and McGrady” combined.

Then the Warriors selected Barnes and Green as they had originally drafted.

In this way, the Warriors now have three future members of the “Death Five” in Klay Thompson, Barnes and Green…

It’s a pity that the most important “gear” Stephen Curry is now the “second in command” of the New York Knicks.

After the draft, messages about trades began to increase.

Several of the rumors involved LeBron James.

Pat Riley seems to have discussed a trade for LeBron with several teams, but there has been no specific information yet as to which team he will ultimately choose.

“LeBron, why don’t we talk to Pat Riley again? If he knows the rules that Adam is going to revise in the summer, he will definitely consider continuing to use you as the core!”

In a temporary training gym in Miami.

Rich Paul found LeBron and persuaded him to have another good talk with Pat Riley.

After all, he is stronger in the new season!

If possible, Rich Paul actually thinks the Heat’s lineup is more suitable for LeBron.

The key is that no one knows where the Heat will trade LeBron.

If he goes to a small, useless team, LeBron will have to waste another year. The new season will be LeBron’s tenth season in the NBA. The 18-year-old LeBron is about to turn 28 and does not have that much time to waste.

But LeBron shook his head slightly: “No, Richie, don’t persuade me, I have made up my mind, I must leave this city, they don’t understand my efforts and sacrifices for them!”

“Here, all my efforts are taken for granted by them. Let them see the price of losing me!”

As he spoke, LeBron’s eyes gradually became confident: “They will definitely regret it later!”

Not long ago, LeBron had another phone call with Silver, who told him that before the new season, the league will announce new rules that will strictly penalize defenders for violating the ball handler’s cylinder.

LeBron didn’t understand what it meant at first.

After Adam and the referee patiently explained to him, he knew very well that he would become even more terrifying!
Of course, the reason for his confidence was not just because of Adam’s call.

Also because…

The trainer came over at this time: “LeBron, are you sure you’re ready? Although these will make you stronger, your body will become stiffer, and…”

“Another point……”

“We suspect that the cramps you experienced during the game may be a side effect of this reason!”

“For example, your hair and beard will turn gray prematurely.”

“in addition……”

“This may also lead to some side effects that we are not sure about…”

LeBron’s expression became serious. He turned his head to look at the trainer and said to him, “No need to say more. I believe you, my brother. Now… make my monster bigger. I need this power. I need to become stronger!”

The trainer saw that he had failed to persuade LeBron to this extent, so he could only give him the “black technology” as he wished…

Rich Paul looked at LeBron and sighed helplessly. Now he knew very well that LeBron had gone completely crazy in order to prove himself.

At this time, Rich Paul also received a call from Pat Riley:
“Man, the deal is done, let me tell you where LeBron went…”

Rich Paul’s expression gradually became serious as Pat Riley spoke.

Until he heard Pat Riley say the name of the new team, Rich Paul was extremely excited and said: “No, no, you can’t treat us like this, Pat, LeBron has given so much to this team, you should consider him!”

But his roar was met with Pat Riley’s cold response: “Telling him in advance which team he will be sent to is my greatest respect for him!”

“Please tell LeBron that the Heat are very grateful for his comeback in the past two years. I hope everything goes well for him in his new team!”

“No, Pat, hey, hey, hey, damn it!”

Rich Paul wanted to fight for something, but Pat Riley had already hung up the phone.

LeBron turned his head to look at Rich Paul. He heard what Rich Paul yelled into the microphone during the argument with Pat Riley, so his expression was extremely uneasy:

“So… where was I sent?”

“…” Rich Paul was silent for a while, and finally opened his mouth as if he had spent a lot of effort, “Milwaukee… Bucks!”

“What?” LeBron’s forehead was bulging with veins. He thought he had heard it wrongly. “Where?”

“Milwaukee Bucks!” Rich Paul said it much more smoothly the second time.

But LeBron James was completely silent.

“No, no, no, take out the phone and call Pat Riley again and tell that damn guy he can’t do this to me!” LeBron panicked.

To be honest, he thought his next home wouldn’t be very good, but he really didn’t expect it to be a remote place like Milwaukee.

Rich Paul pulled out his cell phone but hesitated to call Pat Riley.

“What are you waiting for!” LeBron was very impatient.

Rich Paul said: “It’s useless to call Pat Riley now. We should call the Bucks management and let them know that getting us will not have any good results! Even from a risk perspective, the Bucks should cancel the deal!”

LeBron’s face lit up with joy, and then he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice:
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

That’s the truth!

That’s the truth!

“That’s strange, you should call the general manager of the Bucks right away!”

Rich Paul didn’t hesitate this time.

The more he thought about it, the more it made sense, so he immediately called the Bucks general manager.

The call was answered quickly.

Rich Paul introduced himself, and when he heard that he was LeBron’s agent, the Bucks general manager was surprised. His unexpected reaction, in Rich Paul’s view, was as if he was saying:

Damn it, why are you calling me now!
“We already know this, man.”

“what do you know?”

“Did you make a deal with Pat Riley?”

“Yes what’s the matter?”

“Nothing…” Rich Paul first hinted at something just in case. After confirming that the Bucks and the Heat really had a deal, he finally revealed his true colors and threatened, “Listen, even if this deal is reached and we come to Milwaukee from Miami, LeBron will never stay in this city. We will ask for a trade, so… no matter what you think, in order to avoid throwing all the chips you paid into the water, I advise you not to trade with Pat Riley for LeBron!”

“What? LeBron?”

“if not?”

“When did I trade LeBron with Pat Riley?”

“What else? You just said there was a deal with the Heat!”

“There is indeed a deal… Hey, man, this is not something you should care about! This deal has nothing to do with LeBron. And as an agent, your threats offend me, so you have to pay the price for your arrogance!”

After saying that, the Bucks general manager hung up the phone.

Rich Paul was so scared that he quickly called back and pretended to be a grandson and said all kinds of nice things, and finally the Bucks general manager let him go.

“Damn it, we got screwed by Pat Riley!”

In fact, Rich Paul didn’t even need to say anything, LeBron also reacted, and his expression was as distorted as it could be.

In the general manager’s office at the American Airlines Arena, Pat Riley learned through his connections that LeBron and his agent had actually gone to the Bucks general manager to cause trouble. He smiled like an old fox:
LeBron, you really didn’t let me down!
That’s right, Pat Riley deliberately told LeBron’s agent that he wanted to trade him to the Bucks.

Knowing what he knew about LeBron, they definitely wouldn’t want to go.

There are only two ways to disrupt this deal, either start from him or start from the Bucks general manager.

His attitude just now was so tough that LeBron and his agent naturally wouldn’t try it again.

The only target they can conquer is the Bucks general manager.

The reason for doing this is very simple…

Next he will send LeBron to a similar small place.

To prevent him from sabotaging the deal, Pat Riley didn’t plan to tell him in advance.

But LeBron has great influence in America. If he is not told in advance, he will definitely say that he has been subjected to “racial discrimination” later. He did not respect his influence by not notifying him in advance before the transaction.

and so……

Now that he has been notified, LeBron can shut up!
July 7st came, and Su Wan had already arrived in Paris. As soon as he got off the plane, he saw the headlines on major media websites:
The Miami Heat traded LeBron James to the Timberwolves for Kevin Love, a 2013 first-round pick and a 2014 second-round pick; then they traded David Lee to the 76ers for Jrue Holiday, a three-way deal involving the Bucks.

LeBron was sent to the Timberwolves?

Before the outside world could react to this transaction, another blockbuster deal was born, and the protagonist was still the Timberwolves!
They sent a bunch of chips to the Magic to get Dwyane Howard…

The “No. 03 Scholar of 04” and the “No. Scholar of ” have collaborated!
