Chapter 640: Chapter 248: The Apple Turns Red, Signifying Maturity

The sightseeing bus continued on, passing Times Square, where the mesmerizing chilly flow of music began to play. Su Wan felt a bit of déjà vu and turned his head to see, on the temporary stage of Times Square, the platform slowly rising with the members of Girls’ Generation making their appearance, each wearing a T-shirt with a Chinese character. Together, the characters read:

Welcome Su Wan to New York!

Once the song officially started, Su Wan recognized it—it was "Gee."

The nine members of Girls’ Generation had just been waiting to make their entrance from below the stage.

They heard the noise from the crowd growing louder and louder. Finally, when they appeared, they saw the streets of New York in chaos because of Superstar, and there was Superstar standing on the tour bus, surveying his domain like a sovereign.

Their faces were filled with astonishment.

Their die-hard fans were already crazy enough.

But compared to the scene they were witnessing, both in scale and spectacle, Su Wan totally outshone them by a long shot.

Zheng Xiuyan stood among the group, swaying with the music. At that moment, she fully realized just how dazzling the man she had been involved with really was.

She forgave Su Wan right then for not returning her private messages since the All-Star Weekend.

For a man as busy as him, it wasn’t unusual at all not to see them!

Su Wan turned to Donnie Walsh beside him and asked, "Who called them here?"

When Walsh saw Su Wan again, he no longer had the enthusiasm or courage he once did, when he rushed up to embrace Su Wan upon their first meeting.

He dared not desecrate the god in the hearts of New York fans.

Hearing Su Wan’s question, Walsh responded immediately, "BOSS saw the news, last year during the Christmas Game you had visited their dressing room, so..."

Su Wan nodded, his gaze returned to the road ahead.

Madison Square Garden has a total of four arenas.

"Garden One" and "Garden Two" are located in Madison Square.

Hence the name "Madison Square Garden."

But the third arena is located at the corner of 50th Street and Eighth Avenue, and the fourth is located at the intersection of 33rd Street and Seventh Avenue.

These two arenas don’t actually have much to do with Madison Square anymore.

The current home of the New York Knicks is "Garden Four."

As the bus entered Manhattan Midtown, "Garden Four" also came into view.

At this time, a familiar BGM began to play in the fan square, along with that man’s deeply passionate voice:

"We Are the Champions~"

"my friends!"

"and we..."

On stage, it was Queen.

They were performing "We Are the Champions," a legendary song that just last year was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

As they neared the end of their performance, the tour bus arrived at the fan square.

Su Wan stepped off the bus and walked to the front of the stage.

Queen moved off, taking their instruments with them, leaving the stage empty.

Everyone knew, the New Yorkers converging from all directions toward this stage were not expecting anyone else but Su Wan to take the stage.

Su Wan took the microphone, slowly strolled onto the stage, and surveyed all the Knicks fans standing before him. He saw the longing in their eyes, and the aspiration...

He began to speak:

"Hello, New York fans, we finally meet..."

He spoke just one sentence and the venue was about to erupt with cheers. Even now, the New York fans couldn’t believe that they had actually gotten Su Wan. This had to be a dream!

But before the cheers could begin, Su Wan raised his hand to quiet them— he wasn’t finished:

"I know what you want!"

"And that’s why I’m here!" free𝑤ebnovel.com

"Winning is what I do best."

"The past six years are the best proof of that."

"Give me some time..."

"One year, two at most, I will turn Madison Square Garden, I will turn New York, into a true basketball holy land!"

His simple words caused unrest in the crowd.

Without using a forceful tone, just because he was Su Wan, New York still erupted into madness.

And for one reason only.

Because back in Indiana, Su Wan had said "to rebuild the glory of the Pacers" and he truly did it!

Now, the New Yorkers believed that the man who built "Redemption City" singlehandedly in Indiana would establish a new "Redemption City" in New York.

And this time the one he would redeem...

Was all of New York!

Entering the arena, Dolan and Donnie Walsh still accompanied Su Wan, touring this new stadium rebuilt in ’06.

Dolan shared colorful stories of the Knicks’ history, and how in ’06 he and his father joined forces against the New York City mayor to finally keep the stadium in their hands.

If not for their father and son’s persistence.

The stadium would have become the main venue for the New York Jets.

But in the end, they won that battle.

Dolan believed that the ancient "basketball holy land" had foreseen its coming master, which allowed them to win against the mayor.

Four years later, his premonition was proven true:

Su Wan, the phenomenal superstar who had won five Championship Trophies in the first six seasons of his career, was set to don the New York Knicks’ jersey and fight for New York in the new season.

Speaking of jerseys...

Dolan asked Su Wan what color jersey he liked.

With the Knicks having acquired Su Wan, everything was a new beginning.

Which naturally included the team colors.

They would definitely choose whatever color Su Wan favored.

Su Wan thought for a moment: "Let’s go with red!"

Dolan wasn’t surprised.

And he could accept red.
