Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 249: Red Apples Represent Maturity
The sightseeing bus continued to move forward and passed by Times Square. The magical cold current music sounded. Su Wan felt that it was a little familiar. He turned his head and saw that on the temporary stage of Times Square, the lift platform slowly rose up and the entire Girls' Generation appeared. Each of them had a Chinese character written on their T-shirts, which read:
Welcome Su Wan to New York!

When the song officially started, Su Wan also recognized it was the same song "gee".

The nine members of Girls' Generation had just been waiting in the audience to perform.

They heard the increasingly noisy noises outside, and when they came out, they saw the streets of New York, which were in chaos because of Su Wan, while Su Wan was standing on the sightseeing bus, like a monarch patrolling his territory.

There was surprise on everyone's face.

Their fans are crazy enough.

But compared to what they have seen so far, whether in terms of scene or scale, Su Wan has defeated them far more instantly.

Jessica Jung stood in the team and swayed with them. At this moment, she clearly realized how dazzling the man she had a relationship with was.

She immediately forgave Su Wan for not replying to her private messages since the All-Star Weekend.

For a man as busy as him, it's normal that he didn't see it!
Su Wan asked Donny Walsh next to him: "Who called them?"

When Walsh saw Su Wan again, he no longer had the enthusiasm and courage he had when he rushed up to hug Su Wan for the first time.

He didn't dare to blaspheme the gods in the hearts of New York fans.

When he heard Su Wan's question, he immediately answered: "Boss saw the news. You went to their dressing room to meet them during the Christmas battle last year, so..."

Su Wan nodded and continued to look forward.

There are 4 arenas in Madison Square Garden.

The "Garden Generation One" and the "Garden Generation Two" at Madison Square Garden.

Hence the name "Madison Square Garden".

But the third arena was located at the intersection of 3th Street and Eighth Avenue, and then the fourth arena was located at 50rd Street and Seventh Avenue.

These two arenas actually have nothing to do with Madison Square Garden anymore.

The "Garden 4" is currently used as the venue for the New York Knicks' games.

As the car entered Midtown Manhattan, the "Garden IV" came into view.

At this time, a familiar background music sounded in the fan square, and the man's affectionate voice came:

"We Are the Champions~"

"My friends!"

"and we ..."

On the stage was the band Queen.

They were singing their famous song "We Are the Champions", which was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame last year.

When they had almost finished singing the song, the sightseeing bus arrived at the Fan Square.

Su Wan got out of the car and walked to the front of the stage.

The Queen band moved out with their instruments, leaving only an empty stage.

Everyone knows that the New Yorkers who are gathering on this stage from all directions are expecting Su Wan to stand on the stage, not someone else.

Su Wan took the microphone and slowly walked onto the stage. Looking at all the Knicks fans standing in front of him, he saw the desire and longing in their eyes...

He spoke:

"Dear New York fans, we finally meet..."

With just one sentence, cheers broke out at the scene. Until now, New York fans still couldn't believe that they really got Suwan. This couldn't be a dream!

But before the cheers could start, Su Wan raised his hand to stop them. He hadn't finished speaking yet:

"I know what you want!"

“That’s why I’m here!”

“Winning is what I do best.”

“The past six years are proof of that.”

"give me some more time……"

"In one year, or at most two years, I will turn Madison Square Garden and New York into a true basketball mecca!"

These simple words caused the scene to become agitated.

Su Wan did not say this in a very strong tone, but because he was Su Wan, the whole of New York still fell into madness.

Without him.

Just because Suwan said in Indiana "rebuild the glory of the Pacers", he really did it!
Now, New York fans believe that the man who built the "City of Redemption" in Polis will build a new "City of Redemption" in New York.

This time he redeemed...

It's all of New York!
Entering the stadium, Dolan and Donnie Walsh were still accompanying Suwan as they toured the new stadium that had just been rebuilt in 06.

Dolan vividly talked about the history of the Knicks and how he and his father teamed up to fight against the mayor of New York in 06 and finally kept the arena in their hands.

If it weren't for the hard work and perseverance of both father and son.

Then this stadium will become the home venue of the New York Jets.

But in the end they won the war.

At that time, Dolan believed that the ancient "basketball mecca" must have sensed the coming of its master, which allowed them to defeat the mayor of New York.

Four years later, his hunch was proven true:

Suwan, the phenomenal superstar who won five championship trophies in the first six seasons of his career, will put on the Knicks uniform and fight for New York in the new season.

Speaking of uniforms…

Dolan asked Su Wan what color uniform he liked.

Now that the New York Knicks have Suwan, everything is a new beginning.

This naturally includes team uniforms.

Be sure to choose the color that Su Wan likes.

Su Wan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go with red!"

Dolan was not surprised.

And he can accept red.

There are a total of 7 teams in the NBA, and one of their home and away jerseys is red.

This is considered a "popular color" in the NBA.

But there is another reason why Su Wan chose red.

This is the Big Apple.

"When the apple turns red, it means it is a ripe fruit!" Su Wan said the metaphor, and Dolan's eyes lit up immediately.

Now he agreed even more.

Originally he agreed because Su Wan liked it, but now he agreed because he felt Su Wan was right. Red apples are the symbol of maturity, and only when the Big Apple City is "red" can it reap the fruits of victory!

Su Wan was not surprised by Dolan's reaction.

There is no big boss who does not believe in good omens.

Of course, Su Wan actually believes in these metaphysical theories a little bit.

After deciding on the color of the shirt, Donnie Walsh asked again, "Su, will you still wear No. 99 in the new season?"

Before Su Wan could say anything, Du Lan spoke up: "You can choose whatever number you want to wear, even if it's a retired number, it's fine!"

Su Wanke had no such interest. He said, "Then... No. 95!"

Then Suwan talked to Donnie Walsh about strengthening the team.

After the Knicks completed the trade with the Pacers, the current roster of the team is:

"Point guard: Stephen Curry, Raymond Felton, Anthony Carter;
Position 2: Su Wan;

Three position: Ron Artest, Paul George;

Power forward: Jared Jeffries, Gallinari, Ronny Turiaf;

Position Five: "

If they were all in their prime, this would be one of the best lineups in the league.

But now, it can only be described as horrific.

Stephen Curry has just finished his rookie season, and Paul George has not yet started his new season.

Artest has been in the news a lot in the past two years in New York, but most of the time it's because of the trouble he gets into off the court. It's still unknown how much strength he still has in his peak period.

As for the rest, the only one who is still at his peak is Raymond Felton.

As one of the "North Carolina Four Young Masters" back then, Felton has made a name for himself in the Bobcats over the years, but because his classmates Chris Paul and Deron Williams are so outstanding, everyone has forgotten that there is a point guard like him in the "05 generation" who has made a name for himself.

After his contract expired this summer, Michael Jordan, the "stingy guy", was unwilling to renew his contract, so he joined New York as a free agent.

After he came to New York, he happened to meet D'Antoni. With the support of his offensive system, he also achieved the best statistics of his career with an average of 17.1 points and 9.1 assists per game.

But the following year, the team brought in Carmelo Anthony from the Nuggets and Chauncey Billups, who was originally from the Nuggets, which led to him being traded to Denver and leaving the spotlight. Suwan didn't even know where he went later, which teams he joined, and when he retired.

This time he came to New York just like before, but in Su Wan's opinion, he would be even more uncomfortable than before.

At least he had his highlights in the 10-11 season.

This time...

It will be difficult for him to have such a season again.

After all, it is impossible for the team to reuse him when they already have Stephen Curry.

You know, even first-year Stephen Curry's statistics have already caught up with his peak period.

more importantly……

Stephen Curry's style of play without taking up the ball is more suitable for Suwan.

Aside from Felton, the other players are either past their prime or still need to grow…

However, Suwan does not regret giving so much "legacy" to the Pacers. As the "No. 1 player in the league", this is what he should have!

When word gets out that Su Wan is the only one changing teams, how glorious it will be!
Although the situation in other positions is miserable, at least there are still people available.

Including Gallinari at the power forward position, if Suwan remembers correctly, this is also a very good "outside artillery".

But there is still no suitable candidate for the fifth position.

Su Wan believes that this is the problem that needs to be solved first.

Donnie Walsh prepared the list quickly, and Suwan saw Stoudemire's name.

He originally joined the New York Knicks as a free agent this summer.

Signing him would definitely solve the offensive issues at the five position.

However, as far as the New York Knicks' offense in the new season is concerned, Suwan believes that it is enough. What they need more now is a defensive inside player than an offensive inside player.

Another point is that Amar'e Stoudemire has entered the "glass man" stage since 2011. Signing him means turning the New York Knicks into his "retirement home."

Su Wan didn't feel bad about spending money, since it wasn't his money anyway.

but……

He also doesn't want to sign some players to come here for "retirement".

Then he saw Tyson Chandler's name.

"It's him!"

Su Wan's eyes suddenly lit up and he pushed Tyson Chandler's information in front of Donnie Walsh.

In the original 2010-2011 season, Nowitzki led the team to a "legendary season", eventually winning the championship and taking off the hat of "the biggest wimp in history". Many media believed that the fundamental reason why Nowitzki could become a legend in that season was the arrival of Tyson Chandler, who helped him relieve the pressure on the defensive end and allowed him to focus more on the offensive end.

Su Wan agrees with this view.

Because since then, Nowitzki has never played like he did in the 11 playoffs, especially before entering the finals, his performance in the three rounds of the Western Conference series was terrifying.

The most important thing……

If you don't want to waste your time and energy dealing with LeBron, then the best way is to put a tall inside player like Tyson Chandler in the interior.

The restraint on LeBron is like a cat meeting catnip, the effect is amazing!
As for whether the Mavericks can make it to the finals after snatching Tyson Chandler.

Su Wan thinks so...

It’s best to get in!
Can’t enter…

You deserve it!
Who made their boss Cuban?

Su Wan didn't feel any psychological burden when he was snatching.

Besides, this can’t be called robbery, right?

I just gave Tyson Chandler a contract and he insisted on signing it. What can I do?

Originally, Cuban gave Tyson a maximum salary contract with a starting salary of 1260 million. The Mavericks could not afford such a large contract and could only make a deal through a sign-and-trade format.

The New York team does not have this worry.

Their salary cap is more than enough to accommodate such a large contract.

So Donnie Walsh went directly to Tyson Chandler's agent.

Although the offer was the same, Tyson Chandler didn't even think twice and signed the New York contract...

What can I say! If Dallas didn’t offer a lot of money, who would be willing to go to this “white supremacist” and “discriminatory city”?

Now a team has offered Tyson Chandler a new offer sheet, and it is New York, which owns Suwan.

Tyson Chandler almost yelled:
"I have a dream, to become a champion center!"

Without knowing the future, if Suwan and Nowitzki were placed in front of him and he had to choose who to follow a thousand times, he would choose Suwan ten thousand times.

And after securing the starting five position for the new season in New York.

A big thing also broke out in Indiana:
Steve Cohen sold 1.4% of the Pacers back to Herbert for $51 million.

In just one year, he lost 1.1 million on this alone!
If we add the losses in other industries.

I’m afraid the number is as high as 1.5 million!
But he……

admit!

There is no way to deny it. If he continues to stalemate with Indiana fans, the only thing that will become worse will be him.

He was actually ready to compromise a long time ago.

But he didn't start negotiations with Herbert until Suwan officially signed a contract with the New York Knicks. He didn't want to see himself enter the game with great ambitions only to be kicked off the table in disgrace, while Boris still looked happy.

Since he had lost so much money, Boris would have to lose something important before he would be content.

Su Wan is their most precious treasure!
Seeing the Pacers' popularity immediately decline after Suwan left, Steve Cohen left the court contentedly.

Herbert made a net profit of 1.1 million in one year by selling and buying shares of the team.

This is even more cruel than "getting something for nothing"!

Of course, he always remembered that he could be where he is today mainly because of Su Wan's help, otherwise he would not have made 1.1 million for nothing.

So after regaining the team's shares, Herbert immediately announced to the public that he would build a bronze statue of Suwan outside the Conseco Fieldhouse before next year.

As soon as this news came out, LeBron was dragged out and tortured again.

It also means leaving his own parent team.

It turns out that the Pacers are already considering erecting a bronze statue for Suwan, and LeBron...

It is very difficult to see one of his jerseys in the hands of Cleveland fans now!
because……

It’s almost burned out!
Barkley said very seriously: "I believe this will have a bad influence on other stars. When they leave, other fans will follow the Cleveland fans and do the same thing. But in fact, everyone should know that they are innocent. Even if these stars leave, the damage they have done to their old club has not reached the level of LeBron!"

Barkley's concerns are justified.

Stoudemire eventually left the Suns. Although he did not join the New York Knicks as originally planned, he still joined a big city team as he wished:

Los Angeles Clippers!

This season, Stoudemire did not play out in the 05-06 season as he did originally.

As a result, Steve Nash failed to prove his ability to lead the team alone, and the regular season MVP of that season was ultimately taken away by Suwan.

As a result, Stoudemire's reputation is not the same as before, and many media believe that he mainly relies on Steve Nash.

But the Suns are still unwilling to give Stoudemire a maximum salary contract.

The reason is that Steve Nash and he are both old, but they still haven't made it to the finals.

Considering their age and the current changes in the league's landscape, they don't think the Suns can win the championship with Steve Nash and Stoudemire.

At this time, in the opinion of the Suns general manager, reducing spending is the best option.

Naturally, Stoudemire was not convinced that he could not get the maximum salary.

The talks between the two sides broke down.

Some Suns fans followed the example of Cleveland fans and burned Stoudemire's jersey.

Barkley sighed, "This is the bad atmosphere that LeBron has brought to this league!"

But when LeBron heard him say this, he said in his heart:
This has nothing to do with me!

He doesn't want his jersey to be burned, so he just won't leave!
If you want to go to other teams and get a top salary, you must be prepared for this!

and also……

Look!

Fans are the same no matter where they are. As long as the stars in the team do not meet their requirements to stay, they will turn against each other.

They simply don't see the sacrifices the stars have made for them in the past.

wrong!

should say……

They simply can't remember the contributions the core players of the team have made to the city.

For fans like this, there is no need to be loyal to them.

Just be true to yourself!
Ok……

He also studiously ignored the heartwarming moment unfolding in Indiana.

However, if you use the Boris fans to fight back against LeBron, he will still have something to say:
Su Wan was just lucky, as he brought them five championship trophies and shut them up, otherwise they would have burned Su Wan's jersey!
what?
If Su Wan can use five championships to shut them up, why can't I?

Of course I can!

Do you think I can be on the Heat team?

After this disaster, LeBron's mentality is now completely distorted.

In his opinion, all the mistakes were someone else's fault, and he was not at fault at all.

Those who pick on his faults are deliberately targeting him. Those who compare him with Su Wan are Su Wan's fans, a bunch of unhappy guys. Even if you attack me like this, what can it do?

Didn’t I successfully sign a new contract and transfer to the Heat?
It's nothing more than earning less, and being more passive when jumping out of the contract, but it's also a life that you, the bunch of people who are not satisfied with your lives, will never have in your entire life!
Especially on July 7, at the press conference held by the Heat's "Big Three", when LeBron appeared and the audience cheered, he was even more convinced of this:
As long as you are good enough, no matter what mistakes you have made in the past, there will always be a group of people cheering for you!
This was the first time LeBron made a public appearance in front of fans after Gilbert released the video. Looking at the enthusiastic expressions on their faces, LeBron was in the best mood in recent times.

He immediately said to the Heat fans who were shouting at him crazily: "Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five... No, I want to bring 8 championships to Miami!"

Wade and Chris Bosh stood behind him, listening to him count as he finished speaking. Both of them looked at each other:
What happened to this guy?
Could you please stop bragging?

By then, we will be dragged to take the blame together!
Although LeBron also dragged Wade and Bosh to take the blame.

But LeBron's original strength was recognized by these two people.

Even if they were dragged onto a pirate ship, they wouldn't be too panicked.

But now...

The crown of "The Chosen One" had been torn to pieces by Su Wan.

Last year, Derrick Rose led the Bulls to complete the "black eight" and dealt LeBron the heaviest blow.

LeBron James' psychological endurance is not even as good as that of a second-year rookie.

And this summer, LeBron's hypocritical face was slowly peeled off with Gilbert's revelations. Now he is an arrogant and conceited person, but he is extremely psychologically fragile and has a tendency to bully and is ruthless and ungrateful!
Even though Wade and he are best brothers, he must have some different feelings for him at this moment.

Not to mention Chris Bosh.

He joined this team purely because of Wade's appearance.

Now he is branded as the "peak group", which really makes him feel wronged.

Then when meeting the fans for the first time, LeBron did this again. It would be strange if he didn't have any thoughts in his mind!
However, LeBron was very satisfied to receive such cheers.

Sure enough, the "chosen one" can never be abandoned.

So what if Gilbert framed me?

Didn’t I successfully gain my own fans in Miami?
The thing that this world has the most is fans!
LeBron's eyes almost narrowed as he laughed, and his face gradually became more fanatical.

Not long after the press conference ended, the news that LeBron would bring 8 championship trophies to Miami spread throughout the league.

The New York Times mocked him immediately: "If you are so confident, why did you leave Cleveland? Oh, it turns out that he has Dwyane and Chris. This is why this 'chosen one' is so confident! But don't be happy too soon, LeBron! Remember, Suwan will always be your nemesis!"

Kenny Smith was also stunned when he saw LeBron James' smug look. "I don't know what to say. Some people just went through the "Friends' Mom" ​​incident and caused a huge stir during their transfer. It's understandable that making promises is the fastest way to win over fans, but if the promises can't be fulfilled, then they will only become a handle for ridicule. LeBron James, it seems that he still hasn't grown from the previous turmoil. This is a very sad thing!"

Shaquille O'Neal, who hasn't seen him for a long time, said: "If LeBron can bring 8 championships to the Heat, I will donate all my assets. Everyone can testify that this sentence is always valid!"

Su Wan did not get involved in this matter. He was negotiating with the "vampire" for his future.

Yao Ming finally got a "stress fracture"...

This is Yao Ming's fate, and he doesn't feel sad at all.

But this gave Su Wan a bargaining chip in the negotiation with the "Vampire". He directly expressed his thoughts: "Next, I will not participate in any Asian Championships or World Championships that are not related to Olympic tickets. If you want to succeed in these events, then you must select more outstanding newcomers to fill my vacancy!"

When they heard him say that, they got anxious. They probably meant, "Su Wan, you promised us that as long as we didn't ask you for money, you would participate in every international competition."

It's just not that straightforward.

But Su Wan was in no mood to beat around the bush with them: "Now, you can try to ask me for money!"

His tough attitude left the other side speechless.

After a long silence, the "vampire" spoke again, his tone softened: "Su Wan, you have to pay attention to the impact. The Chinese men's basketball team is a whole. We can make an exception for you, but it's not easy for others!"

Su Wan sneered: "Do you mean participating in international competitions, or paying the money?"

"If you're participating in an international competition..."

"My reason is to make way for newcomers, give them more opportunities to play in international competitions, and train them!"

"Dayao is injured now. Is there anyone in the Chinese men's basketball team who can completely replace him?"

The "vampire" didn't speak.

Su Wan had been observing their expressions and soon saw the clues. What they really cared about was the payment. Su Wan's expression became cold: "If you find it difficult for me not to participate in international competitions and not to pay the money, then..."

"Just don't charge any money!"

"This is the money we earned through our own hard work. How can I not see the so-called training?"

"When I was injured in the youth training, and when no one paid attention to me during the team's transfer period, I never saw any care."

"Or……"

"Giving me the green light to play in the NBA back then was considered training!?"

When the "vampire" heard this, his face changed immediately: "Su Wan, pay attention to your attitude, we are just following the rules. I know your words carry a lot of weight in the NBA, but here you must realize that you are a registered athlete in the country, you have to obey the organization's arrangements..."

Su Wan smiled: "Then can't I just cancel the registration?"

"..."

The "vampire" was silent again.

Yao Ming suffered a "stress" fracture. Even though he was an outsider, he knew that Yao Ming's career was almost over. The next men's basketball representative to the Olympics would have to be Su Wan.

If Su Wan really cancels his account he will stop playing.

He really can't bear this responsibility...

Seeing that the "vampire" had nothing to say, Su Wan did not intend to continue the conversation. He was not here to discuss anything, but to inform others: "I will issue a notice soon. Whether you are willing to cooperate or not is up to you!"

Less than half an hour later, the assistant of the "vampire" brought a mobile phone. On the Weibo app that had just been put into use in 09, Su Wan posted a new update:
"All fans should know that Yao Ming suffered a stress fracture!"

"Some netizens may not know what stress fractures are. I can explain it to you. Simply put, it's just playing too many games!"

"After Yao Ming was injured, I suddenly realized that there was no one in China who could fill his vacancy in the interior."

"For so many years, due to Yao Ming's presence, there hasn't been an outstanding new player at the national team level in the five position in China for a long time!"

“This makes me feel a little worried!”

"Behind Dayao, there is me!"

"What about behind me?"

"If I suddenly suffer the same injury one day, where will the Chinese men's basketball team go?"

"In my opinion, winning the silver medal in 08 is certainly a wonderful memory, but behind the seemingly prosperous prospects of men's basketball, we must admit that many of the golden generation of Chinese men's basketball are already old, and Chinese men's basketball needs fresh blood!"

"In order to have more young players in the national team, I declare that from now on, I will no longer participate in the Asian Championships and World Championships that are not related to Olympic tickets. Let more opportunities for international competitions be given to those who come after me!"

"Of course, I also promise here that when the Chinese men's basketball team needs to fight for Olympic tickets, I will be obliged to put on the Chinese men's basketball team's uniform and stand on the international stage!"

"In my opinion, if I can play in three more Olympic Games, it will be far more meaningful than if I play in more Asian Championships or World Championships!"

"I hope that the Chinese men's basketball team will be as good as it has been in the past 8 years without me!"

In the end, this statement caused an uproar. Judging from the comments, some understood it, some did not, and some even stood on the moral high ground and criticized Su Wan.

Su Wan didn't care about all this. He believed that once these guys realized how badly the Chinese men's basketball team would lose in international competitions without him, they would also realize that the "crisis" he mentioned was not groundless.

He focused more of his energy on personal training.

This time he went to Grover again to help him strengthen his body control training.

Another thing is to continue to strengthen middle-distance training.

But in addition to him, Suwan also dragged Artest in front of Grover.

This guy has been decadent in New York for two years. He has no idea what he has become, but in his memory, although Artest helped the Lakers win the championship in 2010, his condition was not very good.

From this we can infer that Artest would be even worse if he let himself go.

Suwan asked Grover to coach Artest on his behalf.

The main thing is to restore his physical strength.

This is what Grover does best.

When Michael Jordan was 35 or 6 years old, he still had the physical strength to play the entire game. In addition to his amazing willpower, it was also closely related to Grover's training.

And Artest is only 31 years old this year!
