Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 20 We Will Be Jordan and Pippen

Bill Duffy once again demonstrated what "professionalism" means.

The next morning, he brought the gym, trainer team, and nutritionist team to Su Wan. They were all well-known bigwigs in the industry, with high prices, but they were extremely popular. Bill Duffy used his own resources to jump the queue and invite them.

This reflects how important Suwan is to Bill Duffy.

His ability and efficiency are beyond doubt now. It's just that he has too many clients and may not have enough energy, which may lead to the failure to renew the contracts of some players in time.

Just like Anthony Carter's contract extension with the Heat last year.

Su Wan doesn't have too many things to deal with right now, so he can continue to work with him for the time being. When he has more off-court matters to deal with, or when his agent's contract expires, which is only two years, he will consider other more suitable agents.

During the special training period, Suwan received an advance of three months' salary from Danny Ferry. Together with the advance payment made previously, he had taken half of the money for the first year of his contract before the new season even started.

With the salary from the first three months, the original owner bought a house near the stadium and a car. The house was not big, only 80 square meters, and the car was just an ordinary Ford. There was some money left, and Su Wan took out part of it and returned it to the original owner's "big house".

The money I have in my pocket right now is not enough to pay the salaries of trainers and nutritionists.

Danny Ferry agreed very readily and asked Su Wan if he wanted a bigger advance. Such a kind attitude made Su Wan feel uneasy. But he didn't hesitate and simply paid 7 months' salary in advance. Danny Ferry agreed without hesitation. Before hanging up the phone, he reminded Su Wan: "If you have any difficulties, you can call me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

This worthless look, could it be that... this is the legendary "dog-licking" mode that the Cavaliers only display when facing LeBron James?
You know what, the "licking" really feels itchy and makes people feel comfortable.

"Thank you, I'll go take a shower and go to training!" Su Wan automatically put herself into the role of "goddess".

Danny Ferry listened to the busy tone on the phone and smiled happily. He was very aware of the change in Su Wan's tone, which showed that his actions made Su Wan happy!

Boozer's "rebellious" behavior hurt him a lot. It also made him start to reflect on what he had done in the past two years to make the players lose confidence in the management and leave the Cavaliers at the cost of their reputation.

He thought of Andre Miller and Ricky Davis, whose departures were all due to one person:

LeBron James!
The Cavaliers have invested too much energy in LeBron James in the past two years, and have always considered everything from his perspective, considering his situation, and even using thunderous means to establish his position.

It now seems that these measures were too extreme, causing other Cavaliers players to lose confidence in the management.

Suwan showed potential that is higher than the tenth pick in the first round in the summer league and the Olympics. In order to prevent the Boozer-style tragedy from happening again to him, Danny Ferry has been keeping an eye on Suwan since the Olympics. Now he is even more obedient to Suwan's words, with the purpose of making Suwan feel that the team values ​​him.

Now, the plan is successful.

The new season has not started yet, but the relationship between the management and Su Wan cannot be described as unpleasant.

After the money issue was resolved, Su Wan devoted himself to the special training to improve his body. After the Olympics, there was only one month left before the teams started training camp. During this month, Su Wan had no distractions and used all his time to improve his physical fitness.

The age of 19 to 22 is the "golden age" for a person to improve his physical fitness. Although Su Wan's physical potential is running low, he has made significant progress in a month.

“上肢力量：68→71（75）；下肢力量：69→72（78）；核心力量：73→79（88）；协调性：70→74（80）；速度：72→75（78）；横移脚步：72→75（80）；爆发力：80→82（85）；弹跳：84→85（85）；体能：72→78（88）；伤病抗性：75（75）；”

I spent a lot of zone points to improve my potential physical fitness and core strength, which improved the fastest, both increasing by 6 points.

In addition to improving his physical fitness, he also gained some weight, from 94KG to 96KG.

As his physical fitness and tonnage changed, his appearance also showed some obvious changes:

First of all, the muscles are more evenly distributed, and the muscle lines are very obvious everywhere. His gestures are full of strength and explosiveness. His high chest muscles and thicker arms represent his strong fighting ability.

When Bill Duffy saw him again, he couldn't help whistling: "Wow, uncle, I think the Cavaliers coach will be conquered by you the first time he sees you. Your whole body tells others that you have been soaked in sweat all summer!"

September 9th was the first day of the Cavaliers' new season training camp. As soon as Su Wang parked his car in the underground parking lot of the Quicken Loans Arena, he saw a brand new Honda parked in front of him.

"Uncle? OMG, are you going to live in the stadium after the Olympics?"

Calderon opened the driver's window and stuck his head out, his face full of surprise.

As his agent, Bill Duffy had to discount his praise. But Calderon's reaction when he first met him convinced him that his progress over the summer was obvious. There was more confidence and calmness in his eyes.

Danny Ferry held a press conference specifically for him, Calderon, and Drew Gooden, the fourth pick in the first round of the 02 draft who was acquired in the summer to fill the gap left by Boozer.

Drew Gooden had his best season in the past, averaging 12.5 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. It is absolutely qualified for the "fourth pick in a weak year" to play such a performance. But he is not the protagonist of the media today.

Su Wancai, wearing the No. 99 jersey, is the person that reporters most want to interview.

They've heard so many stories about this new guy this summer.

They have a lot of questions they want to ask.

As a result, Calderon and Drew Gooden's desks were deserted. In front of Suwan, a group of people gathered densely. Calderon didn't feel anything. As a newcomer, he didn't have as much exposure as Suwan, and his performance and potential were not as good as Suwan's. He was ready to be ignored. Drew Gooden was a little embarrassed. The new season would be his third year in the league, but his popularity was far less than Suwan, a newcomer who hadn't played a game yet. He felt as if he had suddenly grown hemorrhoids on his butt.

--------

September 9, Cavaliers rookie press conference, Su Wan interview summary:

"Uncle, why did you choose jersey number 99?"

"The homonym of 99 has a good meaning in China, and it is also the largest number in the NBA jersey number. This is my goal."

"Uncle, you look so good. Are you confident that you can win the 'Best Rookie' award for this new season?"

"I think I'm very confident, but the Cavaliers player just won the 'Best Rookie' award. In fact, I have something more I want to do... The last time the Cavaliers made the playoffs was in the 97-98 season, almost 6 years ago. It's a long time ago. I think what Cleveland people want to see more urgently than me winning the Best Rookie award is to get the Cavaliers back on the playoff stage. LeBron came last season, but unfortunately we were still a little short. But don't worry, now I'm here, no one can stop us from entering the playoffs!"

"Uncle, I had fantasies about my first meeting with you, but now I'm very disappointed!"

"Then you still have time to leave now. As you can see, I don't need a reporter like you!"

"I just felt like you didn't show the flamboyance you did in summer league."

"If I don't even know who my opponent is for the new season and I'm just opening my mouth casually, then I should go see a psychiatrist."

"How would you rate LeBron James, your talented teammate?"

"Good, good question. I also want to know how we will get along."

"You two have already had contact. We all know that you took a photo together at the summer league and he went to watch your game."

"Just that one contact? Then I felt that the first time I saw you, I didn't like you very much. I thought you were a terrible person. Can I say that?"

"So, don't you think you two would make a good pair?"

"I didn't say that. Everyone knows LeBron's talent. On the contrary, I think we can become the second pair of Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen!"
