Chapter 624: Chapter 244: 6 Years, 5 Titles_5

His sneakers sold well, and so did his jerseys.

But all of that was based on his identity as a player.

Without that role, when it came to promoting other brands, he needed the support of fans.

And often the most supportive fans were those of his own team.

But how many of the Bolis fans actually had the capability?

Moreover...

Directly having Su Wan endorse would have been more effective, wouldn’t it?

Why sign with the Pacers?

The brands that signed with the Pacers were usually local Indiana companies.

A twenty or thirty million endorsement was already the limit for this city.

So if the Pacers wanted to keep all of their players in the summer, they had to suffer at least a loss of ten or twenty million. Do you think the owner from Wall Street would engage in this kind of charity business?

However, the Los Angeles media wouldn’t feel sorry about it.

They were eager for Su Wan to leave Indiana.

Not only them, but the other 29 teams in the league also wanted the same.

Because only if Su Wan left Bolis would they have a one in twenty-nine chance of becoming the city that acquired Su Wan.

No one knew who would be the lucky one.

Two days later, the third game of the finals officially started at Conseco Arena.

The stands were packed with people.

Ever since Su Wan arrived, Conseco Arena had always been sold out.

Tonight, the stands looked even more crowded.

Barkley glanced at the data and realized it wasn’t his imagination.

Tonight, Conseco Arena had added 3,000 temporary seats but they sold out instantly, high in demand.

All Pacers fans seemed to gradually accept one thing:

Su Wan would leave this summer!

Now they knew everything.

The new owner’s disrespectful actions towards Su Wan had made them angry.

Before the game, media reporters interviewed Pacers fans in front of the arena.

One fan angrily said in front of the camera, "If I were Su Wan, I would definitely leave Bolis. Steve Cohen doesn’t respect him at all. I understand his pride, so... leave, Su Wan. As your die-hard fan, I respect your decision. What you’ve brought to this city is unprecedented in the past 30 years!"

Su Wan also saw this news.

For now, he wasn’t sure if this was arranged by Nike, or...

If there really were Pacers fans who considered things from his perspective.

Although Su Wan had stayed at the time because of his sense of responsibility, to build his image, and then for the fans.

But if this was truly how Pacers fans felt, Su Wan would be touched and feel that staying with the Pacers two years ago was indeed the right decision.

And if the Pacers fans didn’t think this way, if it was just Nike’s arrangement,

Then Su Wan wouldn’t be upset or disheartened.

Instead, he’d be even more relieved about his decision to leave now.

After all, if these Bolis people didn’t consider him, why should he consider Bolis?

If he had stayed, once his performance declined, he’d definitely be discarded like a bereaved dog...

He hoped this was really from Pacers fans.

Even if it was just one.

He would be very happy.

That night, Su Wan played with exceptional motivation.

The Pacers eventually turned the big score into 3-0.

Only one more victory was left, and the Pacers would win their fifth Championship Trophy in six years. frёewebnoѵēl.com

On the evening of the fourth finals game, David Stern was present.

Su Wan and the Pacers didn’t leave any suspense about who would win the championship.

Despite Kobe’s hard play, no other Laker was able to keep their fighting spirit.

Eventually, the game ended, Kobe scored a hollow 40 points, and the Pacers won 110 to 96, grabbing the fourth game and sweeping the Lakers 4-0.

It’s worth mentioning that this was also the first time since the NBA restructured the first round that a team swept through with a perfect record to ultimately win the championship.

wins and 0 losses!

Barkley muttered, "There couldn’t be a more perfect ending!"

"Let’s congratulate Su Wan and the Pacers on winning the Championship Trophy again!" the CCTV-5 studio, Yu Jia, and others shouted excitedly, eyes filled with emotion.

They had never imagined that a Huaxia person could dominate the NBA like this.

No...

This was beyond mere domination!

From 2004 to 2010, this was an era!

And when the final whistle blew, the Bolis people in the stands made a gesture that somewhat surprised Su Wan; it seemed they were prepared as they pulled out banners and posters, raising them high:

"Su, thank you, Indiana will never forget you!"

"Thank you for bringing glory to this city; you owe us nothing, make the decision you want, Su Wan!"

"Su Wan, leave, that idiot Steve Cohen doesn’t deserve your effort, you should stand on a more shining stage!"

...

Su Wan immediately looked towards the Nike-affiliated reporters; seeing their surprise, they quickly lifted their cameras, and he smiled!

It seemed there were indeed Bolis people willing to consider his perspective.
