Su Wan was also asked about his argunt with LeBron Jas.
Indeed, rather than the process of winning, people prefer to watch the minor incidents during the ga, especially the confrontations and altercations between a strong rookie and the team leader.
Su Wan replied very directly, "When I see sothing happening that makes uncomfortable, I will speak up. This isn’t targeted at LeBron, but at every teammate. Of course, they can do the sa to . If I ever have a mont where my mind isn’t clear, they can wake up with their words!"
The host’s expression imdiately beca animated.
Because it seed like Su Wan was saying:
My argunt with LeBron was because his mind wasn’t clear!
To directly na and even insult LeBron Jas like this, this rookie...
Isn’t that a bit too impulsive?
He knew Su Wan was brave, but he didn’t realize Su Wan was this brave!

Su Wan didn’t think his words were too excessive.
Tis have changed.
When he joined the Cavaliers, he fantasized about everything based on one point:
His opponent was LeBron Jas.
To perform against soone like that, Su wanted to avoid direct confrontation, to grow steadily, and to wait until his "zone" value enhanced his potential. After cashing in on that potential, he would shine brightly.
But plans don’t always keep up with changes.
His performance in the sumr league, his performance in the Olympics, greatly increased Cleveland’s expectations of him.
Bozer’s "rebellious" behavior caused Danny Ferri to feel a crisis, and his attitude toward Su Wan beca more serious.
Moreover, before the preseason started, Su Wan had won the battle of public opinion and beca the most dazzling "star" of the 2004 class in the preseason.
Tonight, he had a perfect debut.
He believed that among the nurous congratulatory ssages now laying in his phone, there must surely be one from Danny Ferri.
As for the current LeBron, he was rely a "supernova"—he had neither team achievents, regular season MVP, nor a championship ring. What he had—age and potential—was similar to Su Wan.
In a nutshell:
The present Su Wan fully had the capital to contend with him and therefore didn’t need to overthink.
Now, this rising "new star" only needed to express what he wanted. As for the subsequent repercussions, how to ease the relationship with LeBron, how to make LeBron further tolerate his actions—that was all sothing the general manager needed to consider.
After all, the worst outco he faced was being traded.
But given the potential he was showing now, he believed that any team lacking a main outside player would be interested in him.
He wouldn’t go to those cities to make a na for himself, and stay in the small city of Cleveland to be a discontented second-in-command?
Don’t be ridiculous!
Moreover, all these events happened under the caras, so right and wrong were clear. Even if the dia was bought and did not tell the truth, those general managers wanting their teams to rise certainly wouldn’t be blind to the facts.
The next morning, unsurprisingly, Su Wan topped the headlines of major dia outlets.
Dostic dia mainly reported his debut stats: 25 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 1 block.
The newly released third issue of the "Basketball Pioneer" described Su Wan’s first professional ga as "perfect":
Not only were his stats impressive, but his role in the ga was crucial.
Furthermore, Yao’s NBA debut only resulted in 0 points, 2 rebounds, 2 turnovers, and 3 fouls; Bartel’s debut was a dismal 0 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and 5 fouls; Wang Zhizhi fared slightly better, with just 6 points and 3 rebounds. The three of them combined didn’t match up to one Su Wan.
Originally, the most outstanding debut performance among Huaxia players in the NBA was by Yi Jianlian, who hadn’t even entered the NBA yet.
In his first ga with the Bucks, he scored 9 points, 3 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal, 3 turnovers, and 6 fouls.
It was these underwhelming debuts that made dostic comntators not optimistic about Su Wan’s performance, constantly giving fans a "heads-up": "The debut is just a ga, it doesn’t represent anything, Yao’s initial data was so bad that everyone called him a bust, but that didn’t stop him from becoming a top NBA center later. Su Wan is the sa, everyone has a process."
It turned out that comntators were just comntators; they knew nothing!
Once Su Wan delivered a performance, they all had to eat their words.
Su Qun blabbered every day: "Now it looks like, Su is already adapting to the NBA’s physicality. You see how he handled Artest a few tis, although he didn’t hold out, he really was tough!"
Zhang Weiping said: "Wan is really sothing. His skills may not be that great, but his physical fitness is excellent, even considered good in Arica. That’s the biggest difference between him and Yao, so he’s more adaptable to this environnt!"
Yu Jia: "Tonight, facing last season’s regular-season first Pacers, facing the championship-honored Stephen Jackson, facing the league’s best defensive player Ron Artest, the 19-year-old Su Wan presented a perfect pledge. As the train of ti slowly starts, and a thorny road lies ahead, what challenges await him are still unknown. But now, we have more confidence that he will play more beautiful gas in the future. Now, let’s congratulate Su Wan on winning his first NBA regular-season ga!"
The Arican dia focused more on LeBron Jas and Su Wan’s post-ga interviews, and their dialogues during the ga break were all dug up.
Although LeBron explained all this as a "normal phenonon during the adjustnt phase" in the post-ga interview, all dia knew that LeBron always acted mature in front of the dia. For that maturity, sotis, he inevitably said so insincere words.
Compared to him, Su Wan’s personality was much more genuine; from his brief remarks, the dia could clearly feel that he had so opinions about LeBron.
"The Cleveland-version of Jordan and Pippen faced their first test without having proved themselves yet!"
This was ESPN’s headline.
Seeing this headline, Cleveland fans couldn’t help but worry.
They had waited so long and finally got two imnsely talented rookies who were quickly realizing their potential. They hadn’t even started imagining a bright future when signs of discord between the two rookies appeared.
What pained them even more was:
When the Cavaliers finished their opening ga, they really didn’t want the team to give up Su Wan for LeBron!
Most Cavaliers fans felt that if the Cavaliers wanted to win a championship in the 2000s, they needed LeBron, and Su Wan was indispensable too.
Not just them, Danny Ferry felt the sa.
In fact, after the opening ga, the Cavaliers managent had already sounded the "red alert."
The managent, highly sensitive to the locker room atmosphere at this stage, realized there were erging rifts between LeBron and Su Wan, and they needed to nd these rifts.
Also sparking discussions were Barkley and Kenny Smith’s reviews of their debut performances.
"He’s a watered-down version of Jordan, and I’m an enhanced version of Pippen? What nonsense are these guys talking about?"
LeBron saw this news the next afternoon.
The start of the new season for the Cavaliers was harsh; facing the regular season’s top Pacers at ho was one thing, but after that, they had to imdiately head to Miami to face back-to-back challenges from this sumr’s Miami Heat, now boasting Shaquille O’Neal.
This schedule was just...
With LeBron’s physical condition, when he woke up in Miami the next morning, he felt both tired and weak. But seeing the news, he instantly beca furious. He wasn’t pleased to be called an "enhanced version of Pippen".
An enhanced Pippen was still just Pippen, and a diluted Jordan was still Jordan!
Did these guys really understand?
Uncle, a rookie should just think about how to get the ball into the basket.
He had to consider much more!
Besides scoring himself, he had to energize his teammates, possess a strong will to win, and make Cleveland’s tomorrow even brighter!
All these things...
Could he really be Pippen?
