The next morning, Suxi went to the Toyota Center Arena for training as usual. In front of the hotel, he has already been interviewed by three waves of Chinese media, and this match is a great day for Chinese fans.

This is the first time in history that both sides of a Chinese derby have been at the heart of the team.

The NBA also made a grand publicity warm-up, from the day the Cavaliers arrived in San Antonio, the major TV stations broadcasting the NBA made a preview.

This will not only be broadcast live in China but will also be broadcast live in the United States on ABC and TNT in the United States.

It's a big game.

Judging from the marketing grandeur of the NBA, the level of the regular season is higher than the opening game and lower than the Christmas game.

Everyone is looking forward to the performance of Su Xi and Yao Ming.

At the entrance of the hotel, there were many excited fans who unfurled banners to welcome Suhi's arrival. A lot... Chinese fansChinese fans came from all over Texas, North America, and some even flew in from China.

Just to watch this game.

Suhi was very moved.

He usually rarely interacts with fans before games, but this time, he took the initiative to walk to the side, took photos with forty or fifty fans next to the hotel, and signed autographs for them.

At the same time, it is also interviewed.

Suxi said he was looking forward to playing against Yao Ming, who was the best center in his heart....

Suhi is sincere.

He thought in his heart that the Cavaliers would not trade him before such an important game, and even if he wanted to announce a trade, he would have to wait until after this game. After all, it's been so long, and it's not bad for this day.

But he still gave the reporters a precautionary shot, saying: "Please be cautious and look forward to this game. ”

The reporter asked, and Su Xi didn't say much.

Then, the reporter asked again if there was a conflict with LeBron James and could not be reconciled.

Chinese journalists have also reported on the incident, but not as crazy as foreign media. After all, the Chinese value harmony and try not to expose their scars. And he pursued the philosophical idea of brothers outside the wall to resist humiliation. The media will not deliberately promote it until it is completely torn apart. Of course... This is just the attitude of the official media, and the Internet is also boiling and there are discussions.

In the hupupu forum.

The topic of Suhi and James' 'boss fight' has been crammed into the homepage.

And, what is unbelievable is that the people who support James are actually the majority.

That's fucked up. You can imagine how touching the network environment was in 03.

"Why does Sushi have to compete with James at this time? James is the chosen son, the little emperor. His talent was known in high school, and Suhi was far from him. And when you're out and about, can't you keep a low profile? ”

"What's so bad about being a dick? If something happens, there is the boss on top. It's nothing more than doing more dirty work, Suxi is still young, shouldn't young people suffer more? ”

"Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slow to become king. The philosophy of the ancestors, Su Xi, is not touched at all. Look at Yao Ming, have you ever seen him and Boss Fu arguing? Suhi is asking for her own hardship. ”

"Su Xi just can't figure it out, how good it is to follow the little emperor, isn't he fragrant to be a prime minister? I have to fight with the little emperor and trade him another day, which is a matter of one sentence. Don't look at Ricky Davis's fierce trouble, it's not like he's been dumped in Boston..."

“……”

In these 'objective, independent and discreet' analysis tides, a few pertinent comments are occasionally washed away. 'Why can't Suhi be the boss?' His performance is better than James, he is more efficient, the ball is in his hands, the team always wins, James can't win except for talent. ''Su Xi is not a eunuch, why should he stay by the little emperor's side and do dirty work?'' ''They are all human beings, so why does Sushi have to be inferior?'' ''James was absent in both games, Sushi turned defeat into victory and created miracles. What did James do? The only triple-double was given to him by Suhee. ’‘……’

Su Xi naturally did not know what was being said on the domestic Internet.

He walked into the Rockets' home arena, warmed up and stretched as usual, and then went to the court to acclimatize to the court.

They came early, and the arena was empty and empty.

Suhi practiced shooting for a while, and ran tactics with Carlos Boozer and Tony Barty for a while, and they became more and more tacit and adaptable to Suhi's playing rhythm.

Just when they were having fun.

James walked over and said condescendingly, "Jack, it's time for us to have a final end." ”

"I don't like to hear people say that you're better than me, that's better than me. I'm going to defeat you and banish you. ”

LeBron James passes the basketball to Susie: "Come on, play five balls." In the way you like best, you just have to guard against the three of me, and you win. ”

Well?

Suxi didn't react a little. Five balls, defend against you three to win?

It's still so condescending.

Su Xi sneered in his heart, if it was a top scorer like Kobe Bryant and Maddy, it was here. They will definitely say: five balls, you defend one and you win.

"Okay. Just do as you say. ”

Suhi agreed.

He passed the ball to LeBron James, who received the basketball, quickly pressed down, and then suddenly picked up... He showed unprecedented strength.

He's going to prove one thing in front of everyone in the team: I'm better than Suhi! You should surrender to me, not think how powerful he is.

This is the very naïve side of James, who is only 19 years old after all.

But if he played in the NBA for two more years, he would not do such a meaningless testimonial question.

However, this is excellent good news for Suhi.

Now, his explosiveness has been fully copied to James, 98. James may be a little stronger, but he probably can't replicate it.

Among the super talents that Sushi has opened so far, the only one that has not been fully copied to James is the super speed talent.

So, Suhey's defensive strategy didn't press up, and he gave James room to release his speed.

James is at full throttle, and he's furious, and his mood is at its peak.

Suxi quickly followed, still half a beat slower.

However, the super-speed talent in his body surged violently because of this.

When James took the third step, Suhi's super-speed talent quickly soared to 95.

And there is also an upward momentum.

James jumped, Suhee followed suit, and his bounce was still a little worse.

Rumble!

LeBron James completes the dunk.

After he scored, he yelled at Suhi. "How ridiculous your wishful thinking is."

"You've walked, you've taken an extra step." Tony Barty reminded from the side.

James immediately glared.

"Is this the off-field defensive assistant you arranged?" James said sarcastically: "No one has ever blown me this way." ”

Suxi didn't bother with him, just said, "Come again!" ”

James got the ball again and Suhey's defense was more pressing.

James started instantly, and there was a suspicion of stealing.

But Suxi followed up in time, one step, two steps!

Suhey's Super Speed talent has been increased to 96.

Sushi went on a confrontation.

He withstood James' lower set, James stumbled a little, and he threw the basketball out in the middle of the stumbling...... Swish!

Hit.

This ball is indeed his individual ability.

"See? Score two in a row, play one more, and end the game. Jack, you're nothing without me. Do you really think you're strong defensively? It's me who is there to deter. ”

James continued to trash talk at Sushi.

He was like a madman who hated because of love.

Suhee didn't bother to talk to him and passed the basketball directly to James.

James got the basketball, and Suhey's pressure was a little closer this time.

James bobbed, and he jumped straight into the game, intent on killing the game.

But... Bang!

Striking iron.

"Come again!"

Sushi passes the ball to James.

This time, he reached out to press James' defense.

James took a quick step forward, then made another sharp stop and made a jumper... The attacking tempo was great this time, and Suhi's defensive pressure was a little missed.

But.

Bang!

James' hand did feel a little worse.

Basketball misses.

Only the last ball remains.

With two goals in a row and no goals, James is under a lot of pressure.

Because more and more people gathered around, even the staff of the TV station began to enter the venue from that side and lay up the broadcast equipment.

He decided to do it quickly.

So, the moment he received the ball, he started quickly... This activation action is a steal step.

However, Suhi didn't care about any of this, but quickly followed.

While he keeps up with the second move, his super speed talent reaches 97.

This is the limit of James' talent.

Copy exactly to hand.

James took two and a half steps with the ball and jumped violently, but just in the ascending space of his jump, Suxi predicted in advance, he sprinted and jumped, stretched out his long arm and opened his huge palm to press on the basketball, and the huge force suppressed it. At this time, James had not yet raised his tonnage strength advantage to the extreme, his body couldn't stop descending, and he couldn't even struggle!

Bang!

The basketball slammed into the floor.

It's over!

The law bans the king.

Tony Barty screamed and he began to applaud.

Carlos Boozer also gave Jason Capono a high-five with a smile on his face.

"Well done, Jack. It deserves to be Gary Payton's boastful glove second. ”

That's when Charles Barkley came over and he saw it all happen.

James originally wanted to fight for a jump ball or something, but now he just brushed his sleeves away.

His mind was full of wonders: why did Jack rush up so fast in the last ball, and how did he feel that he was faster and faster every time? Also, he rushed up like me.

At the last moment, he really felt like he was fighting against himself.

He even had a strange thought: Damn Suhee the Sheep must have stolen my talent, he wasn't so fast and fierce when he first came.

…

Charles Barkley and Suhey chatting.

"It looks like you have a good relationship with LeBron, do you often go head-to-head like that?" He's a bit interested in interviewing, and even though he doesn't have a microphone, these conversations will appear in his live stream in the future. He will come up with this first-hand news to deter the fans.

Barkley came from behind, and he didn't know what was going on.

Sushi didn't want to explain either.

He just said, "I don't often go heads-up." ”

"Have you thought about breaking out tonight? I think you can get a triple-double of 20 points. If you're confident, I'll bet Kenny on a donkey ass. Barkley stated the most important purpose of his trip.

He's here for the ass of a donkey.

So far, the highlight of his career and the most Waterloo moment of his commentary has been kissing a donkey's butt. He vowed to return the shame.

Kenny has been looking for Suhey's stubble, so he thinks it's an opportunity.

Start with the Chinese and end with the Chinese.

What a wonderful closed loop.

However, Suhi said, "I suggest you don't gamble like this tonight." ”

"No faith?" Barkley said excitedly.

"It's not about faith. If I have the opportunity next time, I'll tell you in advance. Sushi said.

Barkley hurriedly took out his mobile phone: "Give me your number." ”

Suhi gave him the number.

His phone, which he kept in the locker room, rang a string of ringtones and then stopped.

But then, the phone lights up again. Three text messages in a row.

Suhi didn't immediately see the news from Cavaliers owner Gordon Gunder, Pacers president Larry Bird, and executive agent Mike O'Connor.

…

Suhi and Barkley chatted for another 10 minutes or so.

At this point, the players began to leave the arena as Chinatown's dragon and lion dance and acrobatic teams began to enter the rehearsal.

The Rockets and the NBA take this Chinese derby very seriously, and they have prepared a grand halftime show.

The NBA aims to promote the great success of globalization through this game, and in particular... This leverages the potential largest basketball market in the world.

Suhi left the pitch as he walked into the players' tunnel.

The CCTV reporter ran over and stopped him with a smile: "Suxi, this is the greatest Chinese derby ever." There has never been a two-star Chinese player in the NBA who has played against each other, so do you have anything to say to Yao Ming? ”

Su Xi smiled, and he said in Chinese: "Yao Ming, sound the air defense alarm, I will air raid your forbidden area." ”

"Now, there are at least 50 or 60 million fans gathered in front of the TV set across the country, and they can't wait to see this exciting matchup, what do you have to say to the fans?"

Sushi took the microphone and was about to speak.

The leader of the Cavaliers hurriedly walked over, he attached himself to Suhi's ear, and whispered, "Jack, you were traded." You can't be accessed as a Cavaliers player right now. ”

Suxi was stunned.

The reporter next to him was also dumbfounded.

The foreign correspondents' English was very good, they heard the key words clearly, and combined with Suhi's expression, they knew what was going on without guessing.

Suhi exhaled, although he didn't think the Cavaliers would disgust themselves before such an important game began. But when they did, he relaxed.

It's good.

It's best to be merciless.

Su Xi took off his Cavaliers jersey, and a Chinese fan next to him was shouting: Su Xi! Suhi!

Suhi handed the jersey to the fan and said, "Keep it well, this is an out-of-print jersey." ”

The fan couldn't have been happier.

At this time, a Chinese fan next to him asked: Suxi, you gave him the jersey, what are you wearing tonight?

Suhi smiled.

Then he said to the camera, "Fans, wait. In a little while, the real Chinese derby will come. ”

With that, Suhi strode towards the players' tunnel.

CCTV reporters filmed the whole process, and their cameras kept shooting from afar at the end of the player tunnel where Suxi disappeared.

It's a wonderful shot of Suhi walking through a slightly grey passage into the light.

…

"What ???"

Barkley was shocked in the commentary seat, he didn't expect it, and scolded: "What the hell is the knight doing? Three-way deal! Engage in three-way trading at this time? I'm ready for everything, you tell me you won't play......"

"Are the Eagles crazy? Why should he get involved. Kenny Smith was also puzzled.

Earl Johnson explained: "The Eagles have been in a fire sale lately, and they're going to completely rebuild. These junk contracts in my hand are really hard to clean up, and their junk contracts are second only to the Knicks in the whole league. ”

Barkley was still shocked.

After about ten minutes, the director prints out the transaction and hands it to them.

It's a three-way deal.

The Eagles sent Stephen Jackson, Alan Huntson, and the 2004 top-five picks.

The Pacers sent a whole bunch of cheap players: Anthony Johnson with an annual salary of $810,000, James Jones with an annual salary of $370,000, Tinsley with an annual salary of $860,000, Kenny Anderson with an annual salary of $1.07 million, and Al Harrington, the team's best sixth man and scoring master. Plus an unprotected first-round pick in 2004 and a first-round pick in 2006.

The Cavaliers sent Eric Williams, who has an annual salary of $5.54 million, Tony Barty, who has a $4.4 million contract, and Suhey, who has changed his contract.

The Hawks received $4.4 million expiring contracts from Al Harrington and Tony Barty.

The Pacers get a junk contract of $8 million for Suhi and Alan Henterson, and a $5.54 million junk contract for Eric Williams.

The Cavaliers acquired Stephen Jackson, Anthony Johnson, James Jones, Tinsley, Kenny Anderson, and three first-round picks.

Just from the deal itself, the deal takes what everyone needs, and everyone earns it.

The Hawks paid for the draft picks, but they got a Super Sixth Man of the year that was a good time, which eased the immediate need. Moreover, the garbage contract was cleaned up.

The Cavaliers made a lot of money, and they got Stephen Jackson, a defensive stalwart at the No. 3 position, even though it was Jackson's final final salary. At the same time, they also won the No. 1 position of rising star Tinsley, talented veteran Kenny Anderson, plus a large group of elite players who have been polished by the Pacers system at a good price. Although sent out Suhi, but also put the garbage contract to clean up. While also earning future draft picks. Especially the Eagles' draft picks, although the top five protection, by 2005 it was the top three protection, and by 2006, it was the first pick protection... Maybe it will be a piston miracle this year.

And, to get Susie, the price they paid to the Knicks wasn't huge.

In comparison, the Pacers are betting a bit big. They ate two junk contracts and gave away so many elite players and draft picks. Just to bet on Suhey.

What if Sushi can't make it?

Isn't the walker a bamboo basket for water?

After this deal, the NBA world was shaken!

It's like dropping a shock bomb.

The first epicenter of the earthquake was the Knights' locker room.
