Chapter 629: Chapter 245 Su Wan’s Revenge_5

If it weren’t for the chance to make a big profit, would he be so nice to Su Wan?

The faces of capitalists are all much the same.

But sometimes, relationships maintained by interests are more reliable than those maintained by feelings.

As long as the interest is long-term, that’s fine...

Su Wan didn’t expect Herbert to be so ruthless, cutting the deal right in half!

However, if he were Herbert, he definitely wouldn’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After all, it was Steve Cohen who was in a rush, and the more he continued the dispute, the more he would lose—Herbert was just watching Steve Cohen and the Indiana fans "fight like sandpipers and clams," in no hurry to intervene, as pressing down on the price was the right move!

As for Cohen selling the team to other capitalists, it wasn’t realistic.

No one would take over the Pacers at this time.

They all knew too well that coming in would make them "targets by everyone"; besides, Su Wan had already named his preference—selling back to Herbert; they couldn’t keep Su Wan and without Su Wan, what growth could the Pacers have?

Therefore, nobody would take over.

Steve Cohen only had one choice, and that was to offload his shares to Herbert at a low price and leave the gaming table in disarray.

Well...

It should be!

During the preparation of the show, Su Wan actually didn’t have to do anything, as Erin was handling things for him.

During this time, he would often visit Ivanka’s house.

He went there four or five times a week.

Ivanka told him her home’s passcode and implied with a remark, "I always feel that you’ll come here more often in the future!"

Su Wan asked, "What do you think, Ivanka? Where should I go to play basketball?"

Ivanka shook her head, "I don’t know, choose wherever you want to go! Or... the city that welcomes you most!"

As Ivanka said the latter, her eyes shifted slightly.

Su Wan saw her guilty expression and mercilessly pointed it out, "It seems you also know how fervent New Yorkers are about this!"

Ivanka didn’t deny it, grumbling, "How could I not know?"

It seemed that it was known that Su Wan was now in New York, as the streets were filled with Su Wan’s posters, from Madison Square Garden to Chinatown, with dozen of teams marching every day. Either they were shouting in unison, "Su Wan, we want you!"

Or they were carrying banners, "Su Wan, come save the basketball holy land!"

They filmed various videos and uploaded them to YouTube, to solicit Su Wan.

Like two female fans lifting their tops, one with "New York" and one with "Knicks", shouting at the camera, "Su Wan, plunge into the embrace of New York and the Knicks!"

The media also relentlessly promoted that only Su Wan could save New York, nearly turning it into the "New York Bible."

Even the New York City Mayor recorded a video himself, "On behalf of all of New York, I welcome you, Su Wan, we need you here!"

Times Square’s giant screen displayed photoshopped images of Su Wan in the Knicks’ number 99 jersey with various amazing highlight reels.

In New York, it wasn’t just one or two people who were mad, but the whole city...

Of course, it wasn’t just New York doing this; fans in other cities were more or less crazy too.

But who would have thought New Yorkers could be crazier!

With a population of 6.5 million, the whole city was insane...

Ivanka was bombarded daily with this information.

She had seen New Yorkers recruit superstars before, but never to this extent of madness.

However, she was well aware that what the New Yorkers were wooing was a superstar phenomenon in NBA history that had never appeared before.

Just his arrival could possibly dominate the entire decade for the Knicks.

No wonder they were So enthusiastic!

Ivanka was curious to know how inclined Su Wan was to come to New York now.

Su Wan honestly told her, "I haven’t yet started to seriously think about this issue."

Ivanka didn’t ask any further.

A day later, Dolan also recorded a video, "Su Wan, come to New York, I guarantee that this will always be your team, I will support you unconditionally, fulfill all your requirements, you will be the King of New York, here you can surpass Jordan and become the new NBA logo!"

This made New York even more restless during this time.

Donnie Walsh spoke on the phone with Larry Bird at this moment, "Bird, how big do you think are the chances of New York getting Su Wan?"

Bird said, "I’m not Su Wan, how would I know what this kid wants!"

Walsh chuckled lightly, "Larry, don’t be childish, I know I shouldn’t have left abruptly, I should have told you, old buddy, it’s my fault, I apologize to you!"

Hearing Walsh’s apology, Bird finally took him seriously and analyzed, "Su Wan’s departure this time will definitely be to a big city, one of the top five cities in America, first off, he won’t go to the Lakers."

"Second... he can’t go to the Heat Team either!"

"Then... it’s also quite unlikely for the Chicago Bulls!"

"His choices might be the Clippers or the Knicks..."

When Bird said Knicks, he snorted coldly.

Walsh shook his head helplessly, listening as he continued,

"But if you trade for some All-Star player at this time, then I can for sure say, he definitely won’t join the Knicks either!"

Upon hearing this, Walsh immediately understood what he was supposed to do.

That was...

Do nothing!

Su Wan was a proud man.

He certainly wouldn’t join a team with giants.

Even if the team hadn’t made the playoffs last season, but had managed to acquire a "superstar" this summer, he wouldn’t join.

So at this time, creating a stronger combat force to attract Su Wan’s joining was completely the wrong idea. freёNovelFire.com
