Chapter 258: Chapter 57: "Little Sheep Su Xi Fulfilled All My Fantasies About a Man

Stan culture fans were far more professional than the NBA experts. They didn’t engage in subjective speculation or talk about "potential," "talent," or "The Chosen One." They simply presented the data and stated the facts.

The internet went wild!

The entertainment channels were also quick to follow up.

Originally, it was just people in the sports world discussing the Rookie of the Year race between James and Su Xi.

Now, everyone across the United States, whether they cared about sports or not, understood: James had piggybacked his way to his Rookie of the Year award.

The famous football superstar Tom Brady even said, "In the world of football, you wouldn’t see such a ridiculous tie."

James was suddenly mortified.

Who would have thought that what started as a squabble of jealousy in the entertainment industry would end up with LeBron James being the one getting burned?

Despite the sports media constantly trying to run interference for James, saying Su Xi’s success was built on the Pacers having the best record, that James had tied Su Xi in Rookie of the Month awards, and emphasizing that his 20-5-5 stats were historically rare.

But once public opinion from all of society got involved, the "media advantage" they had originally built against Su Xi instantly crumbled.

Everyone has eyes. With such a direct comparison, how could anyone still say James was on the same level as Little Sheep Su Xi?

The Goodwin Brothers even suggested James return the trophy.

But they were met with a torrent of curses from James and James’ mother, who claimed they hadn’t come up with a single good idea.

The NBA officials, on the other hand, weren’t worried at all. They were even a little pleased. This wave of traffic surpassed all of the NBA’s previous promotional efforts. At the very least, many people who had previously been indifferent to basketball were now learning about advanced stats and true shooting percentage... Before, they weren’t even interested in how points were scored in basketball.

Thank you, Little Sheep Su Xi.

...

Amidst the turmoil, Su Xi led the Pacers to their second victory over the Miami Heat. The Heat Team showed no ability to take the game down to the wire against the Pacers. Dwyane Wade still scored 25 points in the game, but his efficiency was greatly reduced as the Pacers focused their defense on him.

In this game, Su Xi posted a near triple-double with 16 points, 12 assists, 7 rebounds, and 3 steals.

After the game, Wade was interviewed about the hot-button issue of the Rookie of the Year award. He said, "Since the league handed out a co-award, why not add a third? I think Cameron should have been named Rookie of the Year too. Cameron’s scoring and rebounding were both higher than LeBron’s and Jack’s, and he led his team to the playoffs."

There was a hidden meaning in his words.

The stans quickly grasped the true meaning and started posting their opinions: "Look! LeBron isn’t even better than Cameron in any respect, so why does he get to share the Rookie of the Year award?"

"Just because the media has been hyping him up as ’The Chosen One’? Just because he supposedly has ’the-sky-is-the-limit’ talent? If he can’t even win Rookie of the Year outright in his rookie season, doesn’t that label become worthless?"

"A Rookie of the Year who can’t even lead his team to the playoffs... A Rookie of the Year who is despised by his own teammates..."

"..."

James despised Su Xi. He didn’t even want to go online anymore.

Whenever he went online, under any post discussing basketball or Su Xi, he would see people mocking him.

And on many entertainment channels, people who seemingly had nothing to do with basketball were also mocking him, as if he were just some flashy, useless player who only got ahead because the league propped him up!

This made him miserable. He disliked Su Xi more and more, believing Su Xi was the cause of it all. ’If I hadn’t told the team to make a trade to draft him back then, he’d probably just be warming the bench on some other team.’

’After all, when he first entered the league, he had nothing to boast about.’

’He grew step by step with the Knights, and it was me who fed him the ball, play after play.’

’And what’s the result? He turned on me and even brought his fans to cyberbully me.’

The more James thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he felt that Su Xi had wronged him.

He was actually starting to feel aggrieved.

This just goes to show, people always "edit" and "beautify" their own memories.

James certainly wouldn’t remember the secret of how he brought Su Xi to Cleveland in the first place, nor the heartless way he forced the team to trade Su Xi away.

...

Su Xi traveled with the team to Miami, causing him to miss out on an intimate encounter with Scarlett... Although the media was in a frenzy reporting on their relationship, Su Xi had yet to have that final "collision" with Scarlett.

In Miami, Su Xi ran into Jessica. Jessica Alba happened to be in Florida shooting her new movie.

She rushed over from Orlando and protested Su Xi giving his Rookie of the Year trophy to Scarlett.

But her protest was adorable: she refused to wear the bunny girl ears Su Xi had prepared for her.

Su Xi always had a way to make her give in when she was angry.

Because he had superpowers in the bedroom, capable of making Jessica immediately happy and utterly exhausted.

He wasn’t like some men who were helpless, unable to handle their girlfriends, who would struggle like a greased pig.

Jessica was persuaded in bed.

The Miami Heat were beaten into submission.

They lost two home games in three days, and the Pacers easily advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 4-0 record.

The two opponents they had faced, the Celtics and the Heat, were both relatively weak.

Neither had posed a real threat to them.

Some said this kind of schedule was better, while others said such an easy path would be detrimental to their performance in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Currently, the Pistons were locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Brooklyn Nets.

While the Pacers were sweeping the Heat, their series was tied 2-2.

They were the second and third seeds in the East, respectively, and were top-tier contenders in the conference.

...

"I don’t know how Scarlett got Jack’s Rookie of the Year trophy. But, I can tell you how I got this hickey."

Jessica Alba declared her sovereignty in front of the media, pointing to the red mark on her neck and saying, "This is a true symbol of love. As for trophies and what not, even a thief can get one."

She added, "If you watched the game, you’d find my symbol of love on Jack’s neck too."

Jessica was done playing games and went straight for the kill.

Su Xi saw the report on TV and was completely stunned. He rushed to look in the mirror, and even though three days had passed, he could still see a faint red mark on his neck.

Oh! My god!

Su Xi would never have thought she’d go that far.

’Jessica actually used this kind of "revenge." ’

’Now my opponents will have one more thing to trash-talk me about.’

Su Xi thought to himself.

"Jack has fulfilled all my fantasies about men. All I can tell you is, it feels like... jumping on clouds, with every pore in your body secreting dopamine..."

"From the first minute to the sixtieth, I was at my peak the entire time."

"Whether on the sofa, the balcony, or in the bedroom... Whether it was our first encounter at 6 PM or our sixth battle at 6 AM... my pleasure never stopped... My stamina was the only thing limiting my pleasure, not his..."

Jessica Alba was exceptionally animated while saying this during an interview on a women’s channel.

Her description made the female guest and host beside her scream repeatedly.

In the United States, this kind of talk isn’t considered shameful.

In fact... it sparked longing and adoration from many women.

Is Little Sheep Su Xi really that ferocious?

Is this why two sexy Hollywood starlets are flocking to him, unable to get enough, and have never thought of pulling away even though they know about each other?

...

Because of this, Su Xi was criticized by the sports media, who could always find a unique angle for their attacks. Even though the Pacers had won, and with a clean sweep at that, they still claimed Su Xi was utterly depraved for engaging in this sort of thing before a game.

Shaun Kemp was a cautionary tale.

Coleman was an example of a downfall.

Su Xi would definitely fade into mediocrity. He would absolutely stumble because of women.

These criticisms rose and fell in waves.

It was as if Su Xi had violated a heavenly law.

"This is the backlash from your entertainment industry fans attacking LeBron James and those basketball experts."

Even someone with a brain like Artest’s could understand that.

How could Su Xi not understand?

So, he paid it no mind at all.
