Chapter 529: Chapter 225 Bloodline Basketball_5

Dolan originally wanted to meet Su Wan, but Su Wan declined to avoid suspicion.

Talking about this does not sound good!

If he really joined the Knicks later, everyone would think they had been colluding at this time. Therefore, Dolan couldn’t meet him. Having no other option, Dolan gave up and Su Wan only met with representatives of the Asian forces.

After the pleasantries, they went straight into the "distribution of interests" phase, a directness that Su Wan really liked.

He just sat quietly, watching those representatives of Asian forces "fight like dogs" among themselves, and finally when he sensed some trickery, he spoke up, "You guys should also know that Bolis is developing a commercial street as well, and they’ve given me a 30% share!"

Upon hearing that the mayor of Bolis and Herbert had given Su Wan such a large share, the Asian forces’ representatives fell silent.

After more wrangling, Su Wan eventually got a 10% share, not much less than what the two biggest forces had secured, and the rest was to be distributed further.

After the matter was nearly settled, Su Wan left directly.

But from this meeting, he had only one feeling:

The waters are indeed deep in big cities!

While it’s just the development of a commercial street, in Bolis, the mayor and the local magnate Herbert could decide the matter with a clap of their hands; in New York, it was different. Due to the numerous forces involved, although everyone was united in pushing forward the project, it turned into a mess when it came to the distribution of profits.

At the same time, Su Wan could feel that a few forces were hostile to each other.

If it weren’t for Su Wan’s presence, they probably would not have been able to sit at the same negotiation table.

Let alone have any sort of cooperative interest.

This meant that anything could happen in the future.

But no surprise there—even though Su Wan only had a 10% share, it could potentially be worth a billion in the future. —Of course, if he wanted this 10% share to be worth a billion, he would have to join the New York Knicks.

If that were to happen in New York.

What kind of basketball would this be?

"Vein Basketball"?

Soon, the news became public, and reporters swarmed to Su Wan like dogs who had spotted a bone, asking him, "So Su, will you join the New York Knicks in two years?"

Su Wan rolled his eyes at them. "Are you sure you want to ask such a question on the opening day of the season?"

But what disgusted Su Wan the most was that Mark Cuban jumped out at this juncture, accusing him of accepting bribes from Dolan and violating league regulations.

The League immediately launched an investigation.

In the end, it was determined that the dealings between Su Wan and Dolan were just normal business transactions.

The street’s development wasn’t facilitated by Dolan alone, but by him and representatives of Chinatown’s forces, as well as those nearby, collectively pushing it through.

Dolan didn’t mince words, outright cursing, "Mark Cuban is an idiot!"

Su Wan then took out his notebook and added another mark against Mark Cuban. —Actually, Su Wan rarely tried to dismantle championship teams; defeating them brought him much more satisfaction.

And he was too lazy to recruit superstars.

But, if Nowitzki hadn’t managed to achieve his "Divine Enthronement" with a championship in 2011, then mark that on Mark Cuban’s tab.

Let him get away with such pettiness, but don’t treat Su Wan like a pushover!

Just watch!

The Pacers’ first game of the new season was against the Atlanta Hawks.

The "Huaxia Derby" between Su Wan and Yi Jianlian.

Before the game, Su Wan didn’t meet with Yi Jianlian.

Their relationship was just that of ordinary National Team teammates.

They rarely contacted each other.

At most, they would greet each other like they did before the game started.

This had a lot to do with Yi Jianlian’s personality; he’s a typical ’I person’, and Su Wan found it uncomfortable to be around such people, so a brief meeting before the game was good.

The Hawks had acquired Mike Bibby this summer.

Their weak point guard position finally had a reliable dribbler, coupled with Joe Johnson and Al Horford’s playmaking, this Hawks team was doing well in sharing the ball.

In fact, the Hawks’ style of play had continued for about seven to eight years.

From the first generation of "Civilian Five Hawks" to the second generation, they all followed this system.

The reason was the existence of the versatile Al Horford.

He truly was all-round.

If only he were a level higher in versatility, he would definitely become a foundational pillar of the team.

Too bad!

Ultimately, this also resulted in both generations of "Civilian Five Hawks" being just regular-season teams.

Even LeBron had confidently said, "I’ve found a way to counter you all."

The Pacers encountered some trouble in their defense at the start; they simply weren’t agile enough, but they equally frustrated the Hawks on the offensive end.

And with Shaquille sitting out, the Pacers brought on a more mobile and stronger-shooting lineup, smoothly widening the score gap.

Eventually, the entire game concluded with the Pacers’ "fiery offense" and "shooting wave" easily defeating the Hawks, achieving a victorious start.

Yi Jianlian played 12 minutes and 23 seconds, making 2 out of 3 shots, and 2 out of 2 free throws, totaling 6 points, along with 2 rebounds, which didn’t really give him much presence in the game.

Su Wan scored 26 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block.

After the game, he stated, "This year, we didn’t receive championship rings before the game, and I’m not used to that, but no worries, next year I’ll bring that ceremony back to Indiana!"
