Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 139 LeBron James, the biggest data brush in NBA!

At the end of August, Suwan's Ford had some problems, which made him think of changing cars. After Bill Duffy learned about this, he directly said in an interview:

"Su Wan is struggling with whether his first sports car should be a Ferrari, a Porsche, a Lamborghini or an Aston Martin?"

Then within two days, Su Wan saw a Ferrari and a Porsche in his garage.

The Ferrari was given by the local Ferrari manufacturer in Polis.

Due to the existence of the 500 Grand Prix, there are many famous sports car manufacturers in Polis, including Ferrari, which is eager to conquer the 500 Grand Prix.

When the representative heard that Su Wan wanted to change the sports car, he immediately sent the car to Su Wan. This was equivalent to spending 100 million to make him the spokesperson for Ferrari. Considering Su Wan's popularity in Boris, this deal was a great bargain.

The Porsche came unexpectedly.

Originally Bill Duffy thought it was a gift from the manufacturer, but it turned out that the owner of the Pacers bought it and sent it to him.

What is a "supernova"?

It's a pity that Su Wan has already told him that he does not plan to renew the contract when it expires this year, and he plans to train his own team.

Bill Duffy was not surprised by this. The Chinese market was indeed too big, and he had no access to many domestic businesses. Su Wan having his own team could indeed help him expand his business territory better, just like Yao Ming's "Team Yao".

In early September, Suwan asked Artest and O'Neal Jr. to have a drink.

This was a new thing, because Suwan really never drank. So even though Artest and O'Neal knew that the other would go, they still agreed.

When he arrived, the two men were there and were waiting for him in the parking lot.

"Why don't you go in?"

Su Wan got out of the car.

"I mainly want to see this sports car that Ferrari gave you."

Artest wanted to touch it as soon as he got his hands on it. With his salary, buying a Ferrari is not a big deal. As long as he doesn't max out the configuration, it can be done for a few hundred thousand.

But something you buy yourself is different from something someone else gives you as a gift.

So far in the NBA, only Michael Jordan has this honor.

Su Wan has now become the "second person".

Of course, more importantly, he felt uncomfortable being alone with O'Neal Jr.

O'Neal Jr....

It feels pretty much the same as him.

These two people just don't like each other.

Su Wan looked at the two of them and saw that their magnetic fields were not compatible with each other. He slapped Artest's hands away and started rubbing them together. "Let's go. I've already booked a private room."

Today, in order to promote the easing of the relationship between the two people, Su Wan chose a small private room. After the three of them sat down, O'Neal and Artest were obviously a little uncomfortable. At this moment, the distance between them was closer than on the court.

This makes them feel embarrassed.

Suwan had a better relationship with Artest, so he asked Artest first: "Ron, without Reggie in the new season, do you think we can defend the title?"

"Of course, you and I are the strongest wings in the league..." Artest paused and glanced at O'Neal, "Jermaine is also the best center in the league, ahem~"

He really wasn't used to praising O'Neal in front of him.

Not only was he not used to it, but when he heard Artest say that he was the best power forward in the league, O'Neal also felt a little itchy and twisted his body unconsciously.

Su Wan saw all of O'Neal's reactions, turned his head and asked him: "Jermaine, what do you think? Will we have problems without Reggie?"

O'Neal shook his head: "Of course not. We are definitely strong enough to defend the title, and Ron is coming back too..."

He glanced at Artest and seemed to be unable to continue speaking. He was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his hands. He wanted to run away.

If Su Wan hadn't been the host today...

"In fact, I already knew from Reggie that there were some minor frictions between you, but in my opinion, they were not a big deal. There were even some misunderstandings, but they accumulated over time and turned into big things..."

"I'm glad that you at least recognize each other's abilities. This is the premise of everything!"

"Let me be frank!"

"Jermaine, you are 27 years old this year. Even if your peak period lasts until you are 33 and you don't encounter any injuries, you still have 6 years!"

"Ron, you too, are 26 years old this year. If there are no problems, you still have 7 years of peak years ahead of you!"

"This period of time will also determine the future height of your career!"

"If your goal is just to become an All-Star, then after winning the championship last season, you can start playing badly this season."

"But if your goal is to enter the Hall of Fame after retirement, then now is your best time!"

"What lies before you is an opportunity to create a three-peat dynasty!"

"I believe in the abilities of both of you, and you both recognize each other's abilities. I believe we have the ability to win three consecutive championships."

"After achieving this, you will definitely be able to enter the Hall of Fame in the future and leave your names in basketball's highest hall of honor."

"Of course, I will not deny that this is also a special moment in my career!"

"When I won the Finals MVP last season, my comparison object naturally became Magic Johnson. He is an amazing player, but I still don't want to lose. I don't want to lose when compared with anyone, so all I can do is keep winning and keep winning until the end!"

"It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of the three of us depends entirely on the decisions of the two of you. Whether we continue to be hostile or become friends depends on your choice!"

As Su Wan finished speaking, bright lights kept flashing in the eyes of Artest and O'Neal Jr.

To be honest, it is impossible for players at their level of career to say that they have never fantasized about entering the "Hall of Fame".

But they also knew how difficult it was to enter the "Hall of Fame". Su Wan's words opened the door to the new century for them.

In other words, they suddenly realized that the "Hall of Fame" is not so out of reach.

At least as Suwan said, as long as the Pacers win two more years and win the "three consecutive championships", their chances of entering the "Hall of Fame" in the future will be greatly improved.

That is...

Hall of Fame!

O'Neal Jr. and Artest looked at each other. This was the first time they looked into each other's eyes today, and there was no avoidance.

They both saw the intention in each other's eyes.

Somehow, they suddenly began to like each other more.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Su Wan asked the bartender to bring the wine that had been prepared long ago.

When Artest saw Su Wan, who had not drunk for a thousand years, actually pouring wine into his glass and toasting with them, he widened his eyes and asked, "Are you really going to drink?"

Su Wan said: "Reggie has retired, but the banner of Indiana cannot fall. I alone cannot carry this banner. Jermaine, Ron, we have to carry this banner together. I need your help. Come on, I toast to you and to our upcoming defense and the 'three consecutive championships' that we are about to create. Cheers!"

With a heroic "Cheers", O'Neal Jr. and Artest raised their glasses together, and the three glasses clinked together, making a crisp "ding" sound!
They had a very enjoyable drink and after finishing they were ready to change places and continue the party.

Su Wan had not originally planned to go, but when he thought about leaving the two of them who had just reconciled together, if something happened again, all their efforts would be wasted, so he went along.

They played until 2: in the morning, then the three of them went back to their respective homes to find their mothers.

The next morning, the news that the "Pacers' Iron Triangle" was partying wildly in a nightclub made the sports headlines of major media outlets.

It was almost time for the closed training camp to start.

As for other teams, there are news about the core players of the team leading the team to train early and prepare for the new season, or there are news about the core players of some team making a tough statement like "We will let everyone see a different XX team in the new season".

The news content of these three people on the Pacers is somewhat degenerate compared to them.

At one time, a large number of media outlets said that "it will be difficult for the Pacers to defend their title in the new season." Some serious ones even directly named Suwan: "There are many NBA stars who reach their peak right after their debut but soon fall, and most of them do so because of a lack of self-control!"

They felt that Su Wan would be next.

However, when the Indiana media saw the news, they were excited.

If they remember correctly, this is the first time that O'Neal Jr. and Artest were photographed together in a nightclub. Does this mean that their private relationship is better than the outside world predicts?
They believed that Suwan would never fall, because the local media tracked and reported Suwan's whereabouts in the summer many times and found that his final destination was always the training hall. He just didn't take pictures and upload them to Facebook like other stars to compete for the "Most Hardworking Summer Award."

Su Wan is always very low-key in these aspects.

He seems to enjoy people looking down on him, or even trash-talking him.

Reggie Miller also called Su Wan after seeing the news: "You actually dragged the two of them to the nightclub and played together for so long?"

Su Wan, who had just woken up from a hangover, corrected him: "It wasn't me who pulled them, it was them who pulled me, and they teamed up to force me to drink. These two guys..."

"It sounds like a fierce war. It seems that you have resolved the most critical contradiction..." Reggie Miller admired Suwan very much, but he was a little curious about how he convinced O'Neal Jr. and Artest. Apart from their bad tempers, these two people should not have any common pursuits, right?
Su Wan said casually: "Of course, I will influence them with my great love. To be honest, I am ready to be a pastor in the church after retirement. I will definitely be an excellent pastor. What about you? How long will you enjoy your retirement life? Have you thought about what to do next? I still need a driver to help me drive."

"Fuck you!" Reggie Miller cursed and said what he was going to do next. "Larry invited me back to be an assistant coach, but I refused."

In fact, he had this idea until last night. He wanted to come back to help Su Wan maintain the stability of the team, but after seeing the news, he felt relieved and gave up the idea.

Su Wan is a better leader than he thinks.

The relationship between O'Neal Jr. and Artest was eased so quickly.

Even if it's just a temporary reprieve, it would be great.

"I might become a commentator, but I may need some time to decide what to do in the end."

After chatting for a few more words, Reggie Miller hung up the phone. He thought he would not call Suwan again when the new season started, but within two days, Reggie Miller could not help but call Suwan again:
"Man, this is crazy. They just released your interview like that?"

He was talking about the "54 Points Night" documentary produced by Nike for Suwan.

Suwan blasted LeBron James in various ways:
"He is indeed the most talented high school player in the past three years, but he is also the most hyped rookie by the media!"

"I still can't understand why Carmelo Anthony couldn't share the 'Best Rookie' award with him? Especially the year before, the reason Yao Ming lost the Best Rookie award was that the Rockets' record was not as good as the Suns'."

"LeBron is the most outrageous person I have ever seen. When everyone is working hard on defense, he is always the one waiting with his hands on his hips. The most outrageous scene I remember was that the guy he was supposed to defend went straight into the paint in front of him, and then he accused his teammates of not making up for the defense in time. Well... I am also one of the players who was accused!"

"I really want to know, when did he develop these court privileges? Since he was in high school, or after he came to the Cavaliers?"

"Why do I say he needs to be coached? Because he has too many immature aspects on the court."

"When the score is behind by a large margin, he always uses his unwillingness to admit defeat as an excuse to stay on the court and rack up statistics that are of no help to the team."

"What is the biggest conflict between me and LeBron? I don't agree with his way of playing. He has no ability to command his teammates to run tactics, but he keeps playing point guard for the ball."

"In fact, I don't know what position he plays. If he is the No. 6, he shouldn't have so many shots. If he is the No. , then please hand over the command. If he is a small forward, do what a wing should do, such as help defense and keep an eye on the opponent's arrow. If he is the No. or No. , well, I have never seen him defend the opponent's inside line under the basket, but he grabs nearly backcourt rebounds in every game. If you really want to grab rebounds, why don't you grab frontcourt rebounds and fight for the 'second attack' opportunity?"

"I think he's more of an opportunist on the court. He goes wherever there are data, fills up his data sheet, and then loses the game. This is also the reason why his data has improved so much compared to his rookie season, but the Cavaliers still can't make the playoffs."

"LeBron James, the biggest stat brush in the NBA!"

"He needs me to play a game like this to wake him up completely!"

"The 54-point night was his belated coming-of-age ceremony!"

"Looking forward to it? If you really want me to say, I'm looking forward to him making changes in the new season and playing real games."
