Me, a LeBron hater, going to the Cleveland Cavaliers?

A villa in Cleveland:

"Damn it, Rich, I need reinforcements!"

LeBron James watched Dwyane Wade on TV hoisting his FMVP trophy, and couldn't help feeling jealous and resentful!

Both were rookies from the 2003 class, and he was the Chosen One!

And what happened?

Three years had passed, and this year he finally led his team to the playoffs.

But then they ran into the Detroit Pistons in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, fought through seven grueling games, and ultimately lost to the Detroit Pistons, getting eliminated.

As for Wade?

First round, he led his team to a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Bulls. Next round, a 4-1 sweep of the New Jersey Nets. Then the third round, the Eastern Conference Finals, they easily took down the Detroit Pistons—the same team that had eliminated LeBron James—4-2.

Finally, in the Finals, they beat the Dallas Mavericks 4-2 to claim the 05-06 championship.

Wade averaged 34.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game, earning the FMVP!

He was also hailed as the first player from the so-called Platinum Generation—the 2003 draft class—to win a championship.

Seeing this, LeBron James, who had been hyped up by the media, felt a bit embarrassed!

Still, in LeBron James's view, Wade's ability to win a championship before him was still because of Big Shark O'Neal.

Big Shark O'Neal: ???

In the Finals, Big Shark O'Neal averaged 13.2 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 2.8 assists!

Big Shark O'Neal could help Wade to some extent, but it was also because Wade was strong enough himself that he won that championship.

You still need to be solid yourself to forge iron!

"Alright, I'll contact David right away. But LeBron, who do you want to reinforce with?"

Rich Paul asked, seeking the opinion of "GM LeBron."

LeBron James pretended to think for a moment, then rattled off the names of all the All-Stars he wanted to recruit.

Rich Paul: "..."

After listening, Rich Paul couldn't help but mutter inwardly, "Are you trying to build a Dream Team?"

Of course, Rich Paul wouldn't say that out loud—he had to make a living off LeBron James. Instead, he praised, "LeBron, your reinforcement ideas are brilliant. I'll get in touch with David right away and let him know what you want!"

Hearing Rich Paul's words, LeBron James's face immediately broke into a bright smile.

Then he turned back to the TV and murmured, "Next year, it'll be my turn to stand on that stage!"

After the Finals came to a close, fans shifted their attention to the upcoming draft.

This year's draft was packed with talent.

From Italy, Andrea Bargnani.

In the 03-04 season, Andrea Bargnani signed with Benetton Treviso of the Italian Serie A.

Over three seasons with Treviso, Andrea Bargnani helped the team win the 2005-06 Italian Serie A championship.

As a result, Andrea Bargnani became one of the top candidates for this year's number one pick.

Besides Andrea Bargnani, LaMarcus Aldridge and Adam Morrison were also among the top contenders for the first overall pick.

But in the eyes of Chinese fans, their focus was all on one person: Su Yi, a 19-year-old Chinese sharpshooter from the University of Florida!

Su Yi had only been at the University of Florida for one season, but he burst onto the scene. He won over fans with his deadly outside shooting and helped lead the Florida Gators into March Madness.

They defeated one opponent after another, ultimately lifting the championship trophy.

His popularity was sky-high locally, not just for his on-court performance, but also for his handsome, mixed-race-looking face.

He was as handsome as every one of you readers!

Good looks + great skills—that was a stacked buff. How could female fans not go crazy?

It's like a beautiful woman just standing there—people passing by would still sneak a glance. And if that woman also knew how to play games and played them damn well?

Holy crap, that's practically a goddess!

Of course, even gods and goddesses still need to eat and use the bathroom!

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was June 28. The 2006 NBA Draft was about to be held at the theater inside Madison Square Garden in New York City, USA.

At that moment, a figure walked in, wearing a black suit, with jet-black hair and a handsome, mixed-race face.

This person was Su Yi.

And beside Su Yi was someone a head shorter, also in a suit. His name was Xu Rui!

He was Su Yi's childhood friend who had grown up with him!

Both were Chinese!

A year ago, when Su Yi was hit by a car and sent to the hospital, after he woke up, Xu Rui noticed that Su Yi had undergone a huge transformation.

Especially going from a sports idiot to a sports prodigy—his basketball kept getting better and better. He even made the school team, and every day, girls were throwing themselves at him.

Xu Rui briefly considered whether he should also go get hit by a car.

But after thinking it over, he decided against it—he was afraid of pain!

"Yi, it's all thanks to you that I got to come here."

Xu Rui said excitedly.

"You'll have plenty of chances in the future. Didn't you say you wanted to be my agent?"

Su Yi replied as he walked, then casually found a corner to sit down. He didn't have the qualifications to enter the Green Room.

He estimated he'd be picked somewhere between the late first round and early second round.

"I'll get my license soon. Wait for me, Yi!"

Xu Rui said with full confidence.

In today's society, with the passage of time, college students were no longer in high demand, and the grim reality of graduating straight into unemployment was becoming more common.

But Xu Rui had sharp insight. After seeing Su Yi's talent on the basketball court, he immediately went to get certified, vowing to become Su Yi's agent.

Of course, even if Su Yi never made it into the NBA, having one more certification wouldn't hurt.

One more certificate meant one more path forward!

"Keep it up. I'm counting on you!"

Su Yi said with a smile.

Then the two of them sat there chatting nonstop, all the way until the draft began.

As David Stern stepped onto the center of the stage, it signaled the official start of the 2006 NBA Draft.

David Stern said a few brief words before diving straight into the proceedings.

Sure enough, it was no different from his past life.

The Toronto Raptors used the first overall pick to select Andrea Bargnani from Italy.

Then the Chicago Bulls used the second overall pick to select LaMarcus Aldridge.

Time passed quickly, and soon they reached the last ten picks of the first round.

Su Yi sat up straight, anticipation building.

He had tried out for quite a few teams before, and many had only given him verbal promises.

Of course, Su Yi only believed half of that.

"With the 21st pick, the Phoenix Suns select Rajon Rondo from the University of Kentucky!"

Hearing this, Su Yi couldn't help but curl his lip and muttered to himself, "As expected, only half of it was true."

The Phoenix Suns had once given him a promise.

Still, it was fine. The Los Angeles Lakers at the 26th pick, the Dallas Mavericks at the 28th pick, and the New York Knicks at the 29th pick had all given him promises. He couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation.

Which team would he end up with!

"With the 25th pick, the Cleveland Cavaliers select Su Yi from the University of Florida!"

"AHHHHHHH! Yi, you really got drafted!"

Xu Rui immediately hugged Su Yi, who was right beside him.

But Su Yi was dumbfounded. What the hell did you just say?

A LeBron Hater like him was going to the Cleveland Cavaliers?
