Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 101: Something is needed to prove that the Cavaliers should not trade me
After 5 and a half months, Su Wan returned to Cleveland again. Although it wasn't long, he felt that everything had changed.

When he got off the plane he could still see the huge poster of LeBron James, which had been taken down twice, the most recent time it was taken down, and...

5 years!
Su Wan suddenly had an idea. He wanted to try to advance the time.

Of course he knows very well that this is difficult. Asking the team to trade him is different from leaving after the contract expires. It is also not conducive to LeBron James returning to play "hometown basketball" later.

Another point is that LeBron's team almost never asked the team to trade LeBron during the contract period.

They will plan LeBron's contract very well, especially after 2014. They rarely sign contracts of more than four years. They usually sign 4+1 contracts. Even in a big city like Los Angeles, a four-year contract is their limit. They do this to maximize their initiative.

So, no matter how hard life is, they will persevere until the contract is fulfilled.

But no matter how difficult this matter is, Su Wan wants to give it a try.

LeBron James' posters are as eye-catching as ever, but this city no longer sees any posters of Suwan, as if he had never played for this city.

"Sue, is there anything fun to do in Cleveland?"

O'Neal Jr. comes to Cleveland once or twice almost every year, but the total time he spends here is not as long as Suwan, who has lived here for two or three months.

Suwan told him: "The best place in Cleveland is the Quicken Loans Arena tomorrow night!"

Hearing his meaningful words, Reggie Miller next to O'Neal Jr. laughed.

Looking at the high-spirited Su Wan, he thought of himself 10 years ago. Every time he went to New York, he wanted to do something big.

He succeeded several times, so much so that New York fans still deeply "love" him.

Su Wan's personality is much more radical than it was back then, so there are many cities that "love" him.

Not one, not two, not three...

Irene had an interview appointment with Su Wan and she was in a good mood today.

ESPN just signed a new contract with her, for 2 years and 1 million. For her, a newcomer who just switched to the basketball field, this is a good contract. She knows very well that she was able to get this contract because she has always maintained a good media relationship with Suwan.

So she specially booked a local restaurant in Cleveland and chatted with Su Wan while eating.

Before the interview began, she asked with concern: "Su, have you solved your troubles?"

She was referring to that incident with the "vampires".

Su Wan said: "It's almost like that. I chose a compromise, but it solved the problem well. They won't bother me again." The fight with the "vampire" was not a victory. He had more radical methods, but that would stretch the "front line" too long. The playoffs were coming soon, and he didn't want to be distracted by these things.

Then we entered into the formal interview phase.

"Everyone knows the importance of the Cavaliers' game tomorrow. As a former Cavaliers player, will you let them win tomorrow?"

"As long as LeBron calls me, everything will be fine."

Su Wan's attitude is very generous.

Erin knew why: “LeBron wouldn’t make that call.”

"So I won't let them win!" Su Wan said, "Before the new season started, I said I would lead the Cavaliers into the playoffs..."

"Hmm?" Irene waited for Su Wan to continue.

"There have to be some things that prove that the Cavaliers shouldn't trade me, such as the fact that they should have been led by me into the playoffs this season, but ultimately failed to make the playoffs, even though they had the Chosen One, LeBron James!"

Irene smiled: "I think I have booked the hottest topic for tomorrow."

"This is all I can do for you. Congratulations again, Irene, you are a great reporter!" Seeing the interview was over, Su Wan prepared to leave.

But Irene stopped him. Her eyes became seductive while her fingers moved restlessly on Su Wan's chest: "Su, what do you think I can do to thank you for your support?"

"You can... get out of the way!" Su Wan pushed her aside and left without looking back, leaving Irene alone in the messy private room.

Su Wan returned to the hotel and received a text message from Irene:
- I'm sorry if I offended you, Sue. I can apologize, I'm really sorry, I just want to strengthen our partnership.

Su Wan has read "House of Cards" and the original "The Boys" comic, so he knows that * is also a way of binding American partnerships, and this kind of binding is very popular among bigwigs.

The process of in-depth communication can promote a closer relationship between each other.

He had no objection to the binding.

but……

The premise is that it is the one he likes.

Irene is the typical "big girl" that American men like, but not the one he likes.

- It's okay, Irene, I don't take it to heart, and you shouldn't take it to heart either. Just pretend that what happened today never happened. You are not the only woman who wants to get me but can't.

After seeing this reply, Irene, who was feeling anxious when she returned to the hotel, breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Su Wan could still joke with her, it meant that he really didn't take it seriously.

However, she still regretted being too rash tonight. If she had been more prepared or waited a little longer, perhaps she would have been able to successfully bind.

The next day, the Pacers players took a bus to the Quicken Loans Arena, and Suwan felt that the Cleveland people were extremely unwelcome to him. And unlike the boos from the Washington fans at the MCI scene, it can be seen from the expressions of these fans that they really hated Suwan.

It's no wonder that their "prodigy" is being tortured by Su Wan in the media every day. Any Cleveland resident with some geopolitical complex can't stand it, not to mention those "true fans".

Moreover, Irene's interview with him was released this morning and, as expected, caused a stir.

This is the time when Clevelanders are at their most irritable.

If Suwan wasn't surrounded by bodyguards, it is possible that some extreme Cavaliers fans would want to go up and give Suwan a bottle of authentic Cleveland liquor.

However, these fans who defend LeBron so much would never have imagined that one day this "city hero" in the eyes of Clevelanders would say that he is not from Clevelander, but from Akron, which is his hometown. As for Clevelanders, they often call Akron people "country bumpkins."

Suwan kept the boos in mind. It was obvious that these Cleveland people had not yet realized how stupid what they were doing was.

During the pre-match interview phase, Irene came.

Looking at her, it was as if nothing had happened yesterday. The speed of adjustment was indeed very "American".

She showed Suwan the clip of other ESPN colleagues interviewing LeBron.

"I am looking forward to this game. No matter how many times Su and I play against each other on the court, it will always be interesting. I know that many media try to portray us as rivals, but there is no such thing between us. Our playing styles are completely different, and our positions are also different. You should compare me with players in the same position and style. No matter what, I believe this will be an exciting contest."

To be honest, even in Chengdu, at least there is Tianfu Avenue which is straight. You never know which of LeBron James' words are true, he is always like this...

It's so hard to hear him tell the truth.

The key is that he always tells lies that others can easily see through at a glance.

Barkley complained about LeBron in the studio: "He doesn't expect anything from this game against Suwan. If they lose, the Cavaliers won't even have a theoretical chance of making the playoffs, which is like Suwan closing the door to the playoffs for him. How can he expect anything? LeBron, sometimes you should tell the truth and show your attitude. You are the King, man. The King should be the King. Why do you always try to be a good guy in front of the media? Suwan said so many offensive words, but he is still an All-Star starter in the East. This is not a problem. Be tough, LeBron, respond to Suwan and say that you can lead the Cavaliers to beat them and keep the hope of making the playoffs!"

Kenny Smith, who was sitting next to him, shook his head slightly: "Man, you have to allow LeBron to have his own personality. He is not that kind of person. He prefers to speak with actions and say what he wants to say after the game."

"Aren't people like this afraid of losing and being slapped in the face, Kenny?" Barkley asked back, "Do you think Michael will remain silent when faced with these words from Su Wan? Will he say in front of the reporters that he is looking forward to playing against Su Wan?"

Kenny Smith stopped talking, and the whole world knew the answer:

Michael Jordan will make his attitude clear at the first opportunity and respond harshly.

"If LeBron wants to be the next Michael, he should think about what Michael would do at a time like this! What he's doing now..." Barkley suddenly laughed strangely, "It reminds me of Scottie."

Kenny Smith also laughed. He also came from that era, so he knew very well that Scottie Pippen was indeed a little timid in front of the media. The sentence "The postman doesn't work on Sundays" had already exhausted all his brain cells.

LeBron in front of the camera is like Scottie Pippen wearing No. 23.

That night, ABC, TNT and ESPN all broadcast the game live across the United States. In addition, all countries around the world that have NBA copyrights will also broadcast it live simultaneously. This shows the attention paid to this game by the outside world.

Until now, the outside world still doesn't know what kind of irreconcilable conflict there is between Suwan and LeBron. Whenever Danny Ferry mentions this matter, he always says, "It was my decision to trade him, and I take full responsibility for it!"

But everyone knows that Suwan has shown his potential early on, and a rookie at the "third in history" level will not be traded so easily.

There is only one reason to trade him, and that is there is a huge conflict between him and LeBron.

The various signs of targeting LeBron after Suwan left the Cavaliers also illustrate this point.

Twenty minutes before the game started, the two teams entered the venue. The audience seats were so packed that even Su Wan was surprised. In the dozen or so regular season games he played for the Cavaliers, he had never seen such a packed venue.

The moment he walked out of the player tunnel, the boos from the audience seemed to swallow him up.

After getting off the bus, Su Wan thought he understood how much the Cavaliers fans hated him, but now he realized how wrong he was. The boos in the afternoon were less than one-tenth of what he was experiencing now.

Fortunately, he had experienced boos in San Antonio, so this was not a big deal.

The ABC reporter interviewed Suwan ten minutes before the game started, and his question was very straightforward: "What are you going to do tonight, Su?"

Su Wan looked around. He could still hear the boos coming from all directions. He looked at the reporter who asked the question:
Tell me, how can I be polite to these bastards?

The reporter showed an expression of immediate understanding. As NBA sideline reporters, they can always read the players' taunts and aggressive expressions at the first time. There is no way, they have seen too many similar expressions.

It was also for this reason that he had no doubt that Su Wan's answer would be quite impactful.

Then Su Wan also proved this point:
"I will make these boos disappear and completely destroy the Cavaliers' season!"

His voice was very loud, without any regard for the Cavaliers players who were preparing to play next to him, including LeBron. When he heard Suwan's determination, his footsteps paused, his whole expression froze, and a strong sense of dissatisfaction flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mood, called the starting teammates on the court to his front, formed a circle, and shouted "Come on!"

This leadership move also caused huge cheers from the audience.

The starting lineups of both sides stood in the center circle.

The Pacers' starting lineup remained the same, and the Cavaliers' starting lineup was the same as last time:
LeBron is at No. 1, McGinnis is at No. 2, Newbell is at No. 3, Drew Gooden is at No. 4, and "Big Z" is at No. 5.

Gooden jumps the ball with O'Neal Jr.

Complete defeat!

Gooden, who had smoked too much marijuana, couldn't concentrate at all.

But on the other hand, it also reflects his talent. Even though he is often distracted on the court, he can still average 14.4 points and 9.2 rebounds per game this season.

Otherwise, why do people say that what the NBA lacks the least is talent?

As soon as Tinsley got to the frontcourt, he passed the ball to Suwan, and there was immediate loud booing at the scene, so loud that it shook the earth.

Facing McGinnis, Suwan didn't even call for a pick-and-roll, but forced a breakthrough, using confrontation to tear apart the Cavaliers' formation and create a gap. LeBron came over at this time, but was fooled by Suwan's "fake" pass.

This is LeBron's defense, it comes quickly and goes even faster.

Su Wan rushed to the basket and made a layup with a change of rhythm.

"Big Z", who was about to make up for the defense, was dodged by Su Wan's sudden change in rhythm. His leg muscles relaxed and tensed again, and it was too late for him to jump again.

"Paul…Brandon?"

As Suwan habitually wanted to taunt Silas when he returned to defense, he faced Brandon Malone's face instead.

"Where's Paul?"

“He was fired.”

"Congratulations, Brandon, I'll prepare a gift for you!"

"Thank you."

Su Wan felt a little regretful. He was not only going to torture LeBron tonight, he was also going to torture Paul Silas as well. Unexpectedly, Silas still couldn't escape his original fate...
