Still at 17 minutes of play, Su Wan's stats were fixed at 23 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.
The system settled the ga, and he once again had 39,000 zone points tucked into his pocket. Together with the previous 45,000, his zone points reached a total of 84,000.
The feeling of tangible gains from each ga was truly thrilling!
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the ga approached its end.
The mont the final whistle blew, Little Nelson let out a long breath. From the mont the Cavaliers caught up, every second had been a tornt for him. He had never played such a desperate ga.
Howard shrank his head and walked toward the player tunnel, afraid either the dia reporters or Su Wan would stop him.
This was the worst ga he had played since the sumr league began, with 33 minutes and 45 seconds on court, scoring only 15 points and 8 rebounds, and his second half tallied rely 5 points and 3 rebounds. His shooting percentage wasn't even 45%, plus there were 7 turnovers.
At this ti, a simple "hello" from soone would make him blush with embarrassnt.
But he was clearly worrying unnecessarily.
The mont Su Wan left the court, he had already forgotten about this "tool man."
As for the dia reporters,
They were too busy swarming around Su Wan to care about him, the "defeated general."
LeBron and his two companions did not leave imdiately after the ga; they gathered in front of Su Wan.
Wade welcod Su Wan with a warm hug.
Their closeness made reporters wonder if they had known each other before.
But that had never been heard of!
With such enthusiasm from Wade, LeBron had no choice but to reveal a more enthusiastic smile and raise his voice, "Man, your performance was incredible, I'm already looking forward to teaming up with you in the new season. I think we will definitely be the best duo!"
After speaking, he followed suit with a hug to Su Wan.
Su had only one word to describe this "combo" move:
Classic!
Prompted by the reporters, Su Wan and the others left behind a four-person group photo.
It wasn't until they left that Su Wan finally realized:
Did I join?
"Is this Su Wan's sumr league performance? Are you sure, Brandon, you're not joking with ?"
Several hours later, the scouting reports of Su Wan's first three gas of the sumr league appeared via fax on the desk of the general manager's office at Quicken Loans Arena. General Manager Danny Ferri, having just reviewed Su Wan's average stats, imdiately called Ma Long to check for any possible mistakes.
No wonder he had such thoughts.
With an average of 22.6 minutes of play per ga, each ga he managed to score 19.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2 steals, and 1.67 blocks. The shooting percentage was 60%, three-point shot accuracy was 38%, free throw accuracy was 80%, and with only an average of 3 turnovers...
As a reference, LeBron Jas had average stats of 15.8 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in last year's sumr league.
A fine set of numbers, but clearly falling short when compared with Su Wan's performance.
Not to ntion, last year under the insistence of LeBron Jas' team, the Cavaliers had sent nearly half of the starting team to the sumr league.
Su Wan didn't receive such treatnt.
Comparatively, Su Wan's performance was even more formidable.
Even in the "big draft year" of 2004, snagging such imdiate ga strength as the 10th overall pick was a pleasant surprise. His arrival was sufficient to compensate for the Cavaliers nearly giving away Ricky Davis last season.
Next, he only needed to finalize the contract renewal with Carlos Boozer.
And add Big Z.
The core team to support LeBron Jas for the new season would then be set.
It would definitely be a lineup to look forward to.
Perhaps, even the notorious title of "City of Curse" for Cleveland could beco history at the hands of this group.—NFL history's "The Fumble" and "The Drive," MLB's "The Catch," along with NBA's "The Shot," are so of the most morable historical monts in the history of the United States' four major leagues. In all these monts, Cleveland was the victim. Cleveland had been without a championship in the major leagues for over 40 years.
If he, Danny Ferri, could end this embarrassing record, his na would also leave a significant mark in Cleveland.
The phone on the corner of the desk rang, interrupting Ferry's pleasant reverie about the future.
Glancing at the caller ID, it was Boozer's agent calling. He deliberately waited three seconds before picking up the phone, his voice controlled yet turning into astonishnt as he spoke, "Are you saying you want to forego the final year of Carlos Boozer's rookie contract, allow him to opt out, and then sign a new contract?"
He had heard it very clearly.
But it was precisely because he had heard it clearly that he was so surprised.
If Boozer wasn't insane, then he must be.
Otherwise, why would he hear such a ludicrous demand?
Who in their managent would give up a year of a "child labor" contract and let a player turn professional early?
"Danny, you should know that Carlos is very dissatisfied with his role in the team. You have agreed to many of LeBron's trivial demands, and he just wants to see your sincerity through this request."
The voice from the phone once again silenced Danny Ferri.
Last season, Boozer had repeatedly expressed his dissatisfaction with LeBron's team privileges and his own reduced role. From the perspective of repairing his relationship with the team, the managent should indeed offer him so compensation to ease his relationship with the team and LeBron.
It was a tough choice. After a brief silence, Ferri said, "Tell Carlos that I will seriously consider his request. Also, tell him that in the future plans of the Cavaliers, he is a very important part!"
After hanging up, he poured himself a cup of bitterly strong black coffee, gulped down a big sip, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, and his eyes squinted.
But the bitterness in his mouth right now was still not a tenth as distressing as the trouble Boozer had caused him.
Ferri knew that agreeing to Boozer's demands would be like opening "Pandora's Box"; others would definitely follow in his footsteps.
Catching a glimpse of the report Ma Long had just sent, Ferri reopened it, now clinging to this piece of good news to keep going. However, looking at Su Wan's photo, his eyebrows tightened even more.
He also rembered that Su Wan had outstanding ready-to-fight ability and possessed the most flamboyant personality among rookies in recent years.
Boozer was already dissatisfied with the privileges LeBron had; with such a strong personality, could he peacefully assist LeBron Jas?
Just monts ago, still fantasizing about a bright future, Danny Ferri walked to the window, looking out at the dim moonlight and sparse starlight, never had he felt the night in Cleveland as dark as tonight.
Su Wan, also standing by the window of his room, felt completely different:
The resplendent lights of "Gambling City" shone brightly, as bright as daylight, a place that seed never to experience night.
There were already quite a few news articles about the Cavaliers' and Magic Team's sumr league ga on Yahoo.
His boastful pre-ga statents had beco a reality, drawing even greater attention.
Bill Duffy had called him, urging him to quickly set up a Facebook account to interact with fans: "Nephew, your personality is very Arican, trust , this will give you much more exposure!"
Indeed, he wasn't wrong. Within just over an hour of Su Wan setting up his Facebook account, his number of followers had increased by nearly ten thousand. The current platform was not yet the most commonly used social dia in the United States afterward. This rate of growth in followers was quite phenonal.
Among the new followers were so Huaxia fans who sent Su Wan warm words of encouragent, and headlines from dostic reports about him:
"23 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks. Su just smiles lightly, not yet a Cavalier, he has already gained the coach's trust!"
"Su Wan's performance conquers Arican dia, the Huaxia Su likened to 'Kobe'!"
"Valiant space Su leaves Magic speechless, he has dominated the sumr league!"
