"First, I want to say that this glorious moment belongs not only to me personally. I want to thank Coach Mike, thank James, and thank my teammates. Without their support and sacrifice, I wouldn't have played so excellently on the court, nor would I have been able to showcase my talent, nor would I have been able to inspire others."
"Of course, I also want to thank Scarlett, Gal Gadot, and Swift. If it weren't for them often appearing on the court to distract me, I might have defeated the Lakers long ago. You all know that beautiful women always affect our playing speed."
"Hahaha..."
The fans on the scene, the Cavaliers players, and the league executives all burst into laughter.
Tang Long stood in the spotlight, as dazzling as starlight.
Everyone was envious, yet it seemed fitting. It was an open secret that these women liked Tang Long, but people were more curious about who Tang Long liked more.
After entertaining everyone and pushing the atmosphere to its peak, Tang Long continued, "Looking back at this season, we have experienced hesitation and the joy of a winning streak. As a member of the team, I also want my team to win victory and the championship, just like those once great players, like Chamberlain, like Michael Jordan, even like Kobe."
"I have to say, even though we defeated the Lakers, Kobe's greatness no longer needs to be measured by the outcome of the game. He stands there, and he is a dazzling planet."
"Here, we also won the Cavaliers' first championship. I must admit that this makes me and James, whom I specifically instructed before coming on stage, that we must thank our dearest fans. Without your support, we wouldn't have gone further, nor would we have achieved today's results. It is you who let us know the mission of a Cavaliers player."
...
"Mr. Wu, we've made it."
"Have we?"
Wu Rongzhao glanced at the excited business manager and then shifted his gaze back to the live broadcast. At this moment, the Cavaliers players had just finished receiving their awards, and Tang Long and James were chasing Mike Brown with champagne.
The manager was right. This signing was incredibly worthwhile, especially with Tang Long winning the championship and the F/
"Gilbert, don't provoke me, or I'll bring both James and Tang to our Heat."
In terms of strength, Arison clearly had more leverage than Gilbert, and this wasn't just an empty boast.
Gilbert, who had been acting proud, dared not provoke Arison further. He quickly got down to business, "Mickey, what if I could facilitate the signing of two or three stars to your team? Just imagine, Dwyane Wade alone could make the Heat a powerhouse in the league again. Where else can you find such a good deal? If I were you, I would be jumping for joy right now."
"Jump my ass," Arison cursed back angrily. But business was business. Arison patiently said, "Let me hear it. If I'm not satisfied, and you try to provoke me again, I'll bring James and Tang to the Heat. You know I have the capability."
"Bosh + Artest + Westbrook, what do you think?"
Arison, uncharacteristically, didn't curse immediately. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's still not enough. Also, what the hell is Westbrook? Are you trying to fool me?"
"Mickey, Westbrook is definitely the most talented young player in the league. Believe me, if you saw him play, you'd be amazed. Besides, he's a player Tang signed. Just this point should make you believe that Westbrook is absolutely a future superstar. You've heard about Tang's investment acumen, haven't you?"
"Even if what you say is true, it's still not enough. You know, that's Dwight."
Gilbert gritted his teeth, "What do you want?"
This was more than just a three-team trade. To achieve this transfer, the required resources far exceeded Gilbert's imagination.
"Bosh is fine, but all the players you mentioned are only first-class, not superstars. Without superstars, it will affect our market."
"Then what if we add Iverson?"
"Barely acceptable, but you know, even though Iverson has outstanding talent, he lacks the same charisma as Dwight. This will affect us."
"Just tell me directly, who else do you want?"
