Chapter 443: Chapter 208: The Birth of a Super Team_4

But Su Wan felt it was worth a try.

Firstly, with the help of the system, he had long surpassed the top players in the league in terms of body control; furthermore, he was very aware of the sensation in that state, and as long as he truly pushed open that door, he would be able to detect it instantly.

The more he thought about it, the better an idea it seemed. In the following period, aside from "Rehabilitation," Su Wan focused on searching for that sensation within "The zone," but it was not successful.

Could it be related to my physical condition?

This was Su Wan’s guess, but he quickly dismissed it.

If it were really related to physical condition, then he wouldn’t have been able to access "The zone" at all in the beginning.

Of course, if it was because his physical condition hadn’t reached that level and he had to forcibly open it with the system’s help...

Su Wan had to admit that this was a possibility.

However, about a week later, he realized that wasn’t likely, because he clearly felt that state, albeit just for a fleeting moment, lasting less than a second.

But that was enough to excite him immensely.

This proved that his attempts were viable.

It was just because there were other factors interfering that he hadn’t paid attention to before, leading to the fleeting sensation.

Don’t rush, take it slow!

Having clinched "three consecutive championships," Su Wan’s character was now very calm and patient.

During this period, a big trade took place in the free market.

The Magic Team signed and then traded for Lewis from the SuperSonic Team without any chips.

With Ray Allen gone, Lewis had no reason to stay in Seattle.

The trade didn’t come as a surprise.

It was just the final amount that shocked all the media.

The Magic Team offered Lewis a seven-year, one-billion-dollar contract.

It was said that Lewis was stunned when he saw the contract; he thought he had woken up too early or was still dreaming.

Otherwise, the Magic Team must have gone crazy to offer him such a large contract.

But the fact proved...

Whether the Magic Team was crazy was unknown, but he indeed signed a "billion-dollar contract" and became the tenth "Mr. Billion" in the NBA.

Voices of doubt filled Orlando for a while.

Not only the media from other cities but even the Orlando media couldn’t understand it.

After this trade, the NBA free market completely calmed down, and on September 15, the Pacers’ closed training camp started.

When Su Wan arrived in the locker room, he saw Ron Artest and, noticing no one else was there, asked, "How’s it going? Did you finalize your new contract?"

Ron Artest shook his head.

"Did Larry refuse?"

"No... he told me you haven’t renewed yet, so everything has to wait until after this season," Ron Artest said with a helpless expression.

"Larry is such a bitch!" Su Wan cursed unapologetically.

He was using him as a "shield"!

And Ron Artest really couldn’t argue with that.

Because he knew his rank could never be ahead of Su Wan’s.

But the problem was...

If Su Wan really did renew his contract, then what chance did he have?

"Should I talk to Larry first?" Su Wan asked.

Ron Artest visibly shuddered, shaking his head emphatically, "No, no, Su Wan, no need, really no need!"

Su Wan watched his reaction, pursed his lips, nodded, and agreed.

He knew this was no longer just about money, but also about pride.

Pacers were establishing a dynasty, and Ron Artest was absolutely a core player. It was entirely reasonable for him to secure a sufficiently lucrative contract based on his achievements.

Let’s put it this way...

Ron Thompson!

Or calling him Klay Artest would also be fine.

The only difference was that Artest had one less finger extended than Klay.

Ben O’Neal also heard Ron Artest’s loud voice and jokingly asked, "Ron, did you start drinking on the first day of the new season?"

Otherwise, he couldn’t think of any other reason why the current Ron Artest would dare to speak so loudly with Su Wan. Like him, Ron Artest fully acknowledged Su Wan’s leadership role on the Pacers team.

Acknowledged it to the extent that he could make a joke about it.

But all he got in return was a cold glance from Ron Artest.

"I’m going to train!"

With that, Ron Artest left.

Ben O’Neal watched him go, his aura filled with resentful spirit vibes, wisely dropping the subject. After his footsteps faded, he weakly asked, "What’s with him?"

Su Wan spat out two words: "Contract!"

Ben O’Neal’s face showed instantaneous understanding, then he fell silent, suddenly sighing, and asked, "Su, how long do you think we can still play together?"

Su Wan shook his head.

That question, he didn’t know how to answer...

Or rather...

He didn’t have an answer.

Then Tinsley entered the locker room, unable to suppress the smile on his face, returning to his demeanor from two years ago, no longer as gloomy as last season.

It was easy to understand his mood.

Calderon was gone, and with Larry Bird not signing any high-quality backups during the summer, he was once again the main Point Guard for the new season Pacers team.

Without any competitors, it would be strange if his mood weren’t good!
