Chapter 653: Chapter 250: New York, Your Emperor, Has Truly Arrived!_4

Now, with the New York Knicks, he’s done it!

He’s the player in the league with the most slam dunks during the preseason, a total of 30 dunks in 6 preseason games.

Just with slam dunks, he could score 10 points per game.

He felt as if he was back at the New Orleans Hornets, playing alongside Chris Paul.

But back then, he could only passively wait for Chris Paul’s blessings.

Now it was different, he had so many opportunities for "picking up the scraps"!

In 6 preseason games, not a single game involved the opponents focusing specifically on him.

The 6-0 New York Knicks, their offensive firepower has also sparked heated discussions among the media—they could score an average of 109 points per game.

They were the team with the fiercest average firepower throughout the league in the preseason!

Although...

This is just the preseason.

But it is well known that the New York media is the league’s most likely to pop champagne midgame.

Whenever they get a "Superstar," they seem to want to grab a "megaphone" and announce to the entire league:

Attention, attention, the New York Knicks are on the rise again!

This is not a drill!

This is not a drill!

Now that the preseason games have already tested the team’s standard, there’s nothing more to say—in New York, it’s championship or bust!

What, you ask if they believe Stephen Curry can still average 21 points during the preseason, and Danilo Gallinari can maintain his shooting percentage?

They would only answer you with:

Stephen Curry’s scoring will definitely decline entering the regular season, and Danilo Gallinari certainly won’t have such a shooting percentage.

Including Tyson Chandler, who won’t be able to continue with high-frequency "basket bombings" during the regular season.

But...

They also have a question to throw back:

"Will Su Wan only play 25.4 minutes?"

End of discussion!

Championship for New York!

On October 31st, the opening game of the new season took place at the home court of the New York Knicks.

And their opponents were also a "heavyweight bomb":

The Miami Heat!

You could say David Stern saved the NBA!

Just with this "opening game" arrangement alone, tell me, are you impressed or not!

If the Heat win...

They still have a LeBron on their bench!

Their potential is unknown to anyone!

And if the Heat lose...

They still have a LeBron on their bench!

Their potential is unknown to anyone!

In other words, regardless of whether the Heat win or lose this game, since LeBron James is suspended, it won’t affect the suspense that follows.

And from a traffic standpoint:

Even without LeBron, Wade plus Chris Bosh are enough to test Su Wan’s ability to lead the team solo.

Furthermore...

The Miami Heat and the New York Knicks are well-known rivals in the Eastern Conference.

Back in the day, it was the Knicks who "upset" the Heat as a "Black Eight."

And the two teams have had a few playoff clashes resulting in player ejections and suspensions of major conflict.

Clearly, with both teams making significant gains in this year’s free agency, David Stern is planning to reformulate the two teams into the "arch-rivals" of the Eastern Conference.

Starting with the first game of the new season...

That evening, Madison Garden was buzzing, nearly 20,000 seats, all filled.

The court side was packed with big names:

Taylor Swift, Jay-Z, Jessica Alba, Queen, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Paris Hilton, the Kardashian sisters, Ivanka, Spike Lee, Christina Taylor, Scarlett...

Those who knew, knew it was a basketball game’s opening night.

Those who didn’t, might have mistaken it for a celebrity gala!

And the reason that brought all these stars together:

Su Wan was having his New York Knicks debut tonight.

Arriving in "Big Apple City," Su Wan’s popularity could not be contained, with countless stars flocking for a few seconds of camera time on the sidelines.

Of course, most importantly, they came to see the world’s most astonishing athlete of the past 6 years.

He almost replicated the miracles of peak-era Jordan in Indiana: 6 championships in 8 years, two "threepeats"...

But what he accomplished was:

championships in 6 years, one "threepeat" and one "twopeat."

Now he’s in New York, and everyone is waiting to see what kind of legacy he will build here!

A deep and dominant prelude began to play, and a few musicians at the court side were initially stunned, then slowly revealed astonished expressions, just from the prelude, they could feel its boundless dominance.

The cheering of the crowd reached its climax at this moment.

Everyone had heard that Dolan had personally hired the world’s top composing team to tailor-make a personal theme BGM for Su Wan:

"God’s Domain."

And now, this BGM was making its first public appearance.

Judging by the reactions of those naturally sensitive to melody, it was clear the money was well spent, and the "God’s Domain" was an incredible success. Su Wan, emerging from the music, was also full of dominance.

LeBron James watched for a while, then suddenly hung his head.

Damn it!

Why is it this bitch!

In his view, all of this should have been his to enjoy.

Why should this bitch get it!

He couldn’t watch anymore; if he did, he might become green with envy.

Next to him, Chris Bosh and Wade were simply stunned.

Chris Bosh, who also came from a smaller place, couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

He was truly envious!

Before this, Bosh didn’t have a clear concept of how high a player could reach.
