Chapter 344: Chapter 188 This is the Pacers Standing at the Summit Waiting for Challenges_5

Look at this, the New York media...

On October 8, on Pacers Media Day, Erin met Su Wan, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, but she wore a look that said, "You dog, don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up to," Only after asking did she learn that Su Wan had ended up in the hospital trying to avoid Yui Aragaki.

Su Wan had almost forgotten about this incident. Seeing her bring it up again, he retorted, "Even if it had been you, I would have dodged!"

Initially, Erin was quite pleased, but then it dawned on her:

What does he mean by ’even if it had been me’?

She cursed in her heart once more, "You dog," before the interview officially began.

"The New York Times believes this NBA season will be an era of intense championship contention. Su, do you agree with this view?"

"Era of intense championship contention?" Su Wan shook his head, "No, this is the era of the Pacers standing upon the mountain peak, waiting for challengers! They should be well aware that this is their last season to prevent the Pacers from claiming the throne!"

"I’m looking forward to seeing which team will eventually climb to the mountain peak and become the last stumbling block!"

"I hope it’s a strong enough team so I don’t just kick them down the mountain with one foot; sitting on the throne wouldn’t be interesting otherwise!"

Although Erin knew that the defending champion Su Wan would talk more domineeringly, she didn’t expect him to boldly diss the entire League, practically challenging them to put up a fight.

Without surprise, Su Wan’s words sparked huge heated discussions the next day.

But this time, no journalists were sarcastically commenting about the Pacers winning the championship by fighting or similar weird remarks.

Last season’s playoff dominance was evident to everyone.

In four playoff series, they lost a total of only three games!

Such dominance is noteworthy even in NBA history.

Of course, having the credentials to talk like that doesn’t mean other media won’t refute him.

With Yao on their side, the Los Angeles media were brimming with confidence, vowing to stop the Pacers from achieving "three consecutive championships" this season and even boldly claiming, "Indiana doesn’t have the destiny of a dynasty!"

This seriously irked the Indiana media.

Yet, at the same time, other small-city media also mocked Los Angeles.

Just your Los Angeles has the destiny of a dynasty?

Always poaching other teams’ superstars and then talking big, have you no shame?

Think you’re a big city, so great, die you damn bitch!

Uh...

That’s a historical issue!

Los Angeles is used to the resentment from these country bumpkins; let them rant, it won’t stop them from continuing to snatch superstars.

Look, even this summer they poached a superstar from Houston.

The Cleveland media also reacted vehemently, even reaching a state of agitation: "Su Wan clearly hasn’t realized the changes in the League, but of course, that’s his usual style; he never sees anyone else, and this arrogance will ultimately cost him!"

Sharapova also saw Su Wan’s comments in the media.

Honestly, even though she was not pleased that Su Wan’s popularity ranked higher than hers, she had to admit that he had the confidence to make statements she definitely couldn’t say herself.

It related to the culture of tennis, but she also indeed didn’t have the guts to diss all the opponents before the game.

Both holders of two championship titles (Grand Slams), so why the huge difference?

If she asked Su Wan, he would tell her,

This is the difference between not having defended a title and having done so!

Although both have two titles, the dominance is not the same!

Before the preseason matches began, Su Wan appeared near the Sailor Tower in Bolis City’s center, accompanied by Tyrone.

Opposite this iconic building is the tallest building in Bolis.

And on the exterior wall of this building, a giant red cloth was covering something at that moment. Su Wan held a rope in his hand, almost as thick as his arm, waiting for the countdown from the host next to him: "3, 2, 1!"

As the host counted down to "1," Su Wan pulled the rope, with other staff helping him at several other spots. As the red cloth was dragged away, it revealed a huge poster hidden beneath.

The figure on the poster, Su Wan was incredibly familiar with.

It was him...

Su Wan!

"This is Bolis’s surprise for you, Su, a thank you for what you’ve brought to this city. Do you like this gift?" The speaker was the mayor of Bolis.

In the two years that Su Wan led the team to championships, the Pacers’ valuation soared, spurring the surrounding industries, and Bolis’s GDP rose by 15% over the past two years. More people turned their attention to Bolis, all thanks to Su Wan.

One could imagine, once the Pacers clinched the "three consecutive championships," the local economy would leap forward once more.

This gift from Bolis was both an appreciation and an encouragement.

From now on, Su Wan truly became the "City Son" of Bolis!
