Chapter 591: Chapter 238 He Doesn’t Understand the NBA!_2

Su Wan made 13 out of 20 shots, scoring 30 points; Jordan made 8 out of 17 shots, scoring 18 points; Kobe made 11 out of 20 shots, also adding 25 points to his account.

As the final buzzer sounded, Su Wan and Kobe high-fived, while Jordan looked visibly upset.

That damn competitive spirit surged up again.

But "fair and square," he was the one who had proposed it, so he couldn’t very well renege on it now.

But he hadn’t expected Su Wan to be so ruthless, going so far as to openly order a $10,000 bottle of Lafite wine, and then shamelessly asked, "Can I take this to go?"

The next morning, the news that Su Wan, Kobe, and Jordan had suddenly appeared at the Drew League exploded across the entire United States basketball community.

Countless fans took to the internet seeking to witness what it looked like when these three outstanding shooting guards teamed up.

Barkley mocked online, "Is Michael prepping for his third comeback?"

When LeBron James saw the news while on a beach vacation, he turned to Wade and said, "How about we hit up the Drew League too?"

Wade didn’t want to go, but he didn’t say so; instead, he glanced at Carmelo Anthony.

Carmelo, definitely not wanting to touch a basketball in the summer, outright refused, "No going!"

Since he refused, Wade could then follow suit.

Seeing his two best mates unwilling to go, LeBron had to back down.

He knew going alone wouldn’t draw the same attention.

Especially the shock and excitement brought by the sudden appearance of Michael Jordan, Kobe, and Su Wan together...

Just imagining it made LeBron envious.

But now he couldn’t go, all he could say was, "That’s just how Su Wan is, always loving the spotlight!"

He’s a professional player, why disrupt the balance by playing in an amateur league?

He will definitely never play in the Drew League, deliberately seeking media exposure.

Holmgren: You better not!

It’s undeniable, the news was hot. By early July, when the NBA free agency opened, attention gradually shifted from those three players to the major team trades.

During these days, seeing Su Wan cause a big stir in the Drew League, the sulky LeBron finally heard some good news:

Danny Ferry and Anthony Parker reached a 4-year, $36 million contract.

Parker, a "three-time champion" quality wing, would be playing in a Cavaliers uniform next season.

LeBron always loved hearing such strengthening news; he wished the Cavaliers could reach the strength of the ’08 Dream Team.

Especially now, hearing that Danny Ferry got Parker from the Pacers, taken from right beside Su Wan, made him even happier.

That’s right, that’s right, keep digging like that!

Best to take everyone from the Pacers, oh, except for Su Wan and Shaquille, those two who have no idea how to get along with teammates.

After the last season, LeBron was even more convinced, the continual problems in the locker room weren’t his fault, but:

Su Wan, Shaquille O’Neal, and Vince Carter, they just couldn’t understand their place! No respect for the king of Cleveland at all!

Now that they’re gone, are there any discord in the Cavaliers’ locker room?

Without them, didn’t I still lead the team to 60 regular season wins?

LeBron insisted, last season’s loss to the Magic Team was a fluke!

This season, his teammates had grown even further, surely able to bear their responsibilities within the team, an undoubtedly stronger Cavaliers squad.

And now...

Anthony Parker was poached to the Cavaliers, weakening the Pacers even more.

So...

Your days are numbered, Su Wan!

Last season you got lucky, this season, not so much!

LeBron continued waiting for more good news.

But at this moment, the media started spreading rumors about "Howard for LeBron one-to-one trade."

Seeing these rumors, LeBron immediately became unhappy.

What upset him even more was...

The Magic Team management quickly responded, "We are not interested in LeBron; Dwight is our future!"

Then LeBron saw the response from the Cavaliers, "LeBron is forever not for sale by the Cavaliers!"

However, this did not improve his mood, in fact, it got worse.

He really wanted to ask Danny Ferry, couldn’t your damn response be any faster?

Then, that same afternoon, he heard news which he wasn’t sure was good or bad:

The owner of the Pacers sold 51% of the Pacers shares for $220 million, officially changing owners. The new boss, named Steve Cohen, was a Wall Street hedge fund mogul.

Reportedly even wealthier than the Simon family.

They say new owners are always ambitious, what if he spends a billion to strengthen the team, what then?

Why is Su Wan’s luck always so good?

LeBron was annoyed.

Meanwhile, just after signing the contract face-to-face in the boardroom, Herbert capped his pen and said to Steve Cohen, "Congratulations, you now have management rights of the Pacers!"

Cohen smiled, his polished bald head shining enough to serve as a fill light, "From now on, we’re in the same boat, Herbert, let’s push hard together!"

Herbert gave Cohen a suggestion: "You should have a chat with Su Wan; he’s one of a kind. If the Pacers are making moves, you’d better tell him first, be transparent with him, and he’ll treat you as a friend."
