Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 46 Trade that Chinese newcomer!

Averaging 22+5+5 per game, giving someone a taste of their own medicine, this is the "bomb" that Suwan prepared for LeBron's team.

He believed that given the current public opinion, Danny Ferry would not dare to trade him.

Are you kidding me? Which general manager would dare to trade the third-ranked rookie in history?
Don't say he doesn't dare!

Even if he dares, ask the current Cleveland people if they agree to trade him?

Soon, Bill Duffy received a call from Danny Ferry, who hoped that Suwan and LeBron could have a frank talk to clear up some misunderstandings that might not have existed in the first place.

Acting as a lobbyist under pressure from LeBron's team.

When Ferry achieved this, Su Wan's original goal was also achieved:
He became the new guy that Ferry had to try to keep even if it meant offending LeBron!
He agreed to Ferry's request and had a good talk with LeBron.

On the other hand, LeBron's team also received the same call from Danny Ferry. The Goodwin brothers were well aware that the current situation was beyond their control, and Suwan's public opinion momentum could no longer be removed by simply forcing him to step down.

They advised LeBron to meet with Su Wan: "Look at the bright side. If you really reach an agreement, the Chinese newcomer will definitely be a great help to you!"

Are you still helping me?

If we continue talking, I'll almost become his helper!

LeBron suddenly realized that his agent was treating him like a child.

The Goodwin brothers had been paying attention to LeBron's expression. Seeing that the ugliness on his face was still as hard as a frozen lump, they added, "If we still can't reach an agreement this time, we will force Danny Ferry to trade at all costs!"

After hearing this assurance, LeBron's expression finally eased and he reluctantly agreed to the meeting.

On November 11, the Cavaliers ushered in another round of "back-to-back", first going to Boston to challenge the Celtics, and then returning to their home court to face the Chicago Bulls.

What Su Wan didn't expect was that a poster recruiting him appeared in the ancient North Shore Gardens.

Celtics fans excitedly waved the eye-catching poster with the headline:
"That's how Ricky Davis came to Boston. He was reborn here. Uncle, the same goes for you. You will perform better in Boston. Paul Pierce is not LeBron James!"

Ricky Davis took the initiative to hug Suwan before the game.

He was very grateful to Su Wan for giving him a chance to explain.

Everyone thought he was saying "I thought LeBron was here to help me", but he was actually saying:
"I think LeBron James is a complement who can help me score better. I think we can form a connection between the two of us. Unlike what people think, I love this kid very much. Now I am next to Paul Pierce, which can also give me more open shooting opportunities."

He never said "LeBron is here to assist me". The media deliberately misinterpreted his meaning just to create a carnival to consolidate LeBron's status.

Now he felt relieved to see Su Wan defeat magic with magic.

The Cavaliers continued their winning streak. After defeating the Celtics, they defeated the "young army" Bulls. Their winning streak reached 5 games, and LeBron's depression reached its peak.

On November 11, while Cleveland fans excitedly celebrated the Cavaliers' entry into the playoffs, a meeting concerning the Cavaliers' future arrived as scheduled.

Suwan brought Bill Duffy, and LeBron also brought his agent team, and appeared in the conference room of Quicken Loans Arena at the time notified by Danny Ferry.

In addition to Danny Ferry, no one else from the Cavaliers participated in the meeting, including head coach Paul Silas, who did not appear in the meeting room. This was so that LeBron and Suwan could feel more at ease to reveal their true thoughts.

LeBron habitually said a few polite words: "Uncle, until now I still feel that as long as there are no problems between us, we can definitely become the best duo in history!"

Su Wan went straight to the point and put forward his own requirements: "Two very simple points. First, LeBron is not capable of playing the No. 1 position. We need a point guard with organizational skills who can perfectly execute the head coach's tactical system to control the rhythm of the game, not LeBron and his four NPCs! Jose Calderon has this ability, and he has also demonstrated his ability in this regard!"

"Second, LeBron must lead by example on the defensive end. I can let the opponent's best perimeter defender stare at me every night to free up his offensive ability, but his physical fitness is there. He can be a good defender, and he must stare at the opponent's best ball-handling attacker!"

"As long as LeBron can do these two things well, then as he said, we will become the best duo in history!"

The last sentence was said by Su Wan to Danny Ferry.

He could clearly see Ferry's expression turn awkward.

As he became quiet, no one spoke in the conference room for a long time.

LeBron couldn't control his expression at all, it was as ugly as it could be.

After a while, he turned his head and looked at the Goodwin brothers next to him. The indifference in his eyes seemed to say:

This is what you made me do!
My dignity has been severely trampled upon, what else do you have to say?

Danny took in LeBron James' expression. To avoid the meeting from ending before it even began, he cleared his throat and said, "This is it, Uncle. LeBron and I have discussed it. The Cavaliers will use the two of you as the core of their tactics. You will get a lot of opportunities to play one-on-one. This does not conflict with LeBron holding the ball at the No. 1 position. He also knows that your presence will make it easier for him to organize the game. You can become companions who rely on each other."

The pronunciation of "companion" was very clear, which was what Danny Ferry emphasized. No matter what else, at least he and LeBron are partners in the Cavaliers, not NPCs.

After he finished speaking, LeBron's expression relaxed a lot, and there was a little more anticipation in his eyes.

As long as he doesn't give up the ball, doesn't have to defend like a blue-collar worker, and is guaranteed a certain frequency of singles for Su Wan, he can still accept it.

After all, Su Wan has now demonstrated his abilities.

He is willing to be brothers with capable players!
Su Wan saw that all eyes were on him, and Bill Duffy was winking at him secretly. Obviously, even Bill Duffy had not expected the result of this retreat.

But Su Wan still spoke:

"so……"

"LeBron can agree to my two requests, right?"

LeBron saw that even after he had given in, Su Wan was still unyielding, so he could no longer sit still, stood up and walked out of the meeting room. The Goodwin brothers did not stop him, but followed him out.

At this time, if you still stop LeBron and continue to negotiate with him, will you still be able to save your dignity as the "Son of the Chosen One"?
Before leaving, the two brothers looked at Danny Ferry deeply, with a lot of meaning.

"It looks like we have to leave Cleveland, Bill!" Suwan noticed the looks of the Goodwin brothers and said to Bill Duffy next to him.

They and Danny Ferry were the only ones left in the room.

Ferry listened to the footsteps of LeBron and his group getting farther and farther away, and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, can't you really take another step back?"

Su Wan smiled.

Ferry's proposal just now seems to have benefited Suwan, but the ball is still in LeBron's hands, and he can still do what he wants on the court.

This is what Su Wan really cannot accept.

LeBron's "royal power" is what he wants to break.

"Danny, I only play with people who respect their teammates. All LeBron wants is a lackey who can do whatever he wants on the court. I can't do that."

"Oh~" Ferry sighed deeply. He couldn't persuade LeBron, so he could only try to persuade Su Wan again. After hearing Su Wan's truth, he also understood what Su Wan really cared about.

He also knew that LeBron had many bad habits that a player shouldn't have. This was related to his fame in his second year of high school and his lack of NCAA training. His reputation allowed him to ignore these details.

In fact, the Cavaliers have won five consecutive games in the past few days, and Ferry has also subtly recognized the current public opinion:
LeBron needs Suwan to scold him on the court so that he can perform better!
In the sports industry, winning means everything!
"LeBron and his team will definitely not give up, uncle. Although I don't know what they will do, but... uncle, you should know that many things are not up to me to decide. You have to walk the rest of the way by yourself."

Today's talks broke down, and many things are doomed.

For example, between Suwan and LeBron, the Cavaliers can only have one in the future.

Su Wan heard the reluctance in Danny Ferry's words and replied, "Actually, even if you trade LeBron, I can still wear the Cavaliers jersey, right, dear general manager?!"

He was just kidding.

Unexpectedly, Danny Ferry glanced outside the meeting room and whispered, "Honestly, if this wasn't Cleveland, I would have traded LeBron a long time ago!"

These words made Su Wan's eyes widen. He didn't expect that Danny Ferry, the general manager of the Cavaliers, would say such outrageous words.

But think about it, which general manager is willing to treat his players like his grandsons?
Although Su Wan has an outspoken personality, he has never asked the management to do anything.

His current position in the Cavaliers and his reputation in the media are all the result of his own hard work.

Walking out of the conference room, Danny Ferry shook hands solemnly with Su Wan. The elevator was on the left and the general manager's office was on the right. The two people walked in different directions.

That night, the urgent ringing of the phone broke the tranquility of the Cavaliers' general manager's office. Before Danny Ferry picked up the phone, he habitually glanced at the caller ID. The familiar number made his expression change slightly.

It was a call from big boss Daniel Gilbert.

After the call was connected, Gilbert simply said:

"Trade that Chinese newcomer!"

Danny Ferry was silent for a while and said: Got it, Boss!
