Chapter 384: Chapter 196 Las Vegas Romantic Encounter_5

They were looking forward to a strong performance from Su Wan tonight, but it seemed his enthusiasm wasn’t high.

Erin’s focused expression turned to her phone at this moment.

Still no messages from Su Wan.

She had thought that since Erin gave him her number, Su Wan would have contacted her quickly.

Could it be that I didn’t perform well the other day?

That shouldn’t be the case! ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm

I did all the moves that I should have!

Su Wan’s return to the court was in the second half, and he only played for a few minutes before yielding the stage.

Rick Carlisle really does have a wicked sense of humor.

He let Shaquille O’Neal, Wade, and LeBron share the stage for a long time, performing "Ran Dong" before everyone’s eyes.

The show did not disappoint:

Shaquille O’Neal had a noticeably higher frequency of coordination with Wade than with LeBron.

On one play, he blatantly ignored LeBron, who was making his way behind him, passed to Wade cutting through the middle to the basket, assisted him in completing an "alley-oop dunk," and then celebrated with him by bumping chests passionately.

When Shaquille left the Heat Team, he disliked Wade.

But after living in Cleveland for so long, he felt more nostalgia for Wade.

LeBron’s face was full of embarrassment.

Su Wan wasn’t motivated, Wade and the others were performing "Ran Dong," and the Eastern Conference was clearly not as united as the Western Conference, leading to Kobe winning this year’s All-Star MVP with 32 points.

He was originally this year’s All-Star MVP.

The end of the All-Star Game meant the end of the Las Vegas All-Star Weekend.

When Su Wan left the court, he was stopped by reporters in front of the bench.

Erin stood up and noticed this scene; she looked at Su Wan first and their eyes met for a moment before she walked toward the fans’ passage.

The reporters’ questions started at this time.

The last question asked him to talk about what he gained from this trip to Las Vegas; the image of Erin popped into Su Wan’s mind, and he said, "I think the time has come, Bolis is ready to host an All-Star Weekend, Indiana needs such an opportunity, and I hope to see the Las Vegas All-Star Weekend atmosphere in Bolis soon."

Since Su Wan spoke up, David Stern naturally couldn’t pretend not to hear, and the next day, the League officially revealed that Bolis would host the All-Star Weekend within the next two seasons.

The moment the news was announced, the Bolis market personally called Su Wan.

Life in the "cornfield" is really not easy!

Su Wan was adding Erin’s contact number to his phone book, and he didn’t forget to send a message:

——Su Wan.

The response came back quickly:

——Okay.

The end of the All-Star Weekend heralded the final stages of the regular season.

The final ranking of the teams will be decided during this time.

Of course, some big trades usually happen in the League at this time of year.

But this year, the free agency market closed very calmly.

Even the Cavaliers, which everyone expected to make a big trade, had no movement.

The Cleveland media breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, they knew that the atmosphere within the Cavaliers was terrible, especially the relationship between Shaquille O’Neal and LeBron, as could be seen from the All-Star Game.

Still, the Cavaliers were second in the Eastern Conference, showing they were still very strong this season.

Even for the sake of this ranking, they didn’t want Danny Ferry to make trades.

At least touch the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals first...

According to the Cavaliers’ current performance, they could achieve this.

The last time the Cavaliers touched the floor of the Eastern Conference Finals, no one knew when that had been.

With such an opportunity now, they really couldn’t bear to miss it.

Danny Ferry probably thought the same, as he didn’t make any moves until the free agency market closed.

He finally...

made a decision we in Cleveland were satisfied with!

They were satisfied, but LeBron James’s mood was sour.

At the All-Star Weekend, Shaquille O’Neal had made him look foolish once again.

Now with the grievances old and new combined, he really wanted to immediately demand the team trade Shaquille O’Neal.

But Bill Duffy, that softie, wouldn’t let him pressure Danny Ferry no matter what, and told him to focus on the court and play well.

How could he focus on the court now!

Thinking it over, LeBron called Richie Paul, feeling that only his good brother could come up with a solution to voice his frustration.

Paul was somewhat conflicted when he received LeBron’s call and his question. Bill Duffy had strictly warned against giving LeBron any rash advice, emphasizing that LeBron’s most important task was to behave on the court.

He hemmed and hawed, making LeBron even more irritable: "Who are you even with, Richie?"

Hearing LeBron say this, Paul then shared his plan: "LeBron, your back injury hasn’t acted up this season, right? Why don’t you rest for a few games, let the world see just how bad the Cavaliers are without you?"
