LeBron James running away? He's going all in on Curry.

The celebrations at Quicken Loans Arena continued, and the post-game press conference room was already packed with media from all over the United States.

Amidst the flashes of cameras and microphones, Su Yang walked in with a smile. Beside him stood the undisputed star of the night—Jeremy Lin.

"Mr. Su, congratulations to the Cavaliers on an incredible game-winning shot! Everyone says Jeremy is just a benchwarmer, but you gave him unlimited shooting opportunities. What's your assessment of his performance?"

Su Yang was lavish in his praise: "Jeremy's performance was nothing short of great. When Stephen was injured and the team was in dire straits, it was he who stepped up and helped the team out of the predicament."

"I've said it before, Cleveland will never tank. Jeremy is not only our starting point guard, but I firmly believe that, based on his current performance, he will be the next All-Star!"

Sitting to the side, Jeremy Lin was so moved by his boss's strong support that he nodded repeatedly.

"Then, Mr. Su!"

A reporter from Miami stood up and posed the most controversial question of the evening: "What are your thoughts on LeBron James's sudden announcement before the game that he would miss the game due to a groin strain? Does this make this revenge match seem somewhat regrettable?"

"Regret? No, I have no regrets at all, because I had expected this outcome."

Facing the cameras broadcasting live across the United States, Su Yang uttered a new term that left all the reporters speechless:

"Smart groin, huh? I'm already used to it."

"Intelligent...groin?" The reporters below the stage looked at each other in bewilderment. This highly ironic term instantly triggered their gossip radar.

"Isn't that right?"

Su Yang shrugged and coldly exposed the false god's fig leaf, "I specifically asked the old staff of the Cavaliers before. Ever since 2007, every time it comes to the crucial moments of the playoffs, or when he encounters some tough battles that he doesn't want to play or dares not play, our great 'King' always suffers some 'injuries' very precisely on time."

"I thought he'd have some new tricks up his sleeve today, but it's the same old thing."

"But Mr. Su, player injuries are inevitable..." a reporter tried to argue.

"Really?" Su Yang interrupted him rudely. "Has anyone seen even a single MRI report from either the Heat or the Cavaliers regarding his groin strain?"

The entire room fell silent instantly. Everyone thought carefully, and it seemed... there really wasn't one!

"There are no medical reports, nor clear diagnoses from the team doctor. Every so-called 'injury' is 'leaked' to the outside world by his personal reporters or his team's henchmen."

"This reminds me of the 2007 NBA Finals. After being swept by the great Tim Duncan, our Kings seemed to have some kind of injury, right? Oh right, it was his own reporters who reported that he played through the Finals with a serious injury."

"It's truly eye-opening to see someone who doesn't even have the courage to admit they're afraid to play and only uses Schrödinger's injury as a fig leaf."

After dropping the bombshell, Su Yang didn't give the reporters a chance to ask any more questions. Escorted by a group of security guards, he left the press conference hall with an air of nonchalance.

……

The day after the game, in Miami, at James' luxurious oceanfront villa.

"Bang!!!"

A vase worth thousands of dollars was smashed violently on the floor!

On the television screen, Su Yang's remarks about "intelligent groin" from the press conference were being played on a loop.

"Fuck!! That damn yellow-skinned monkey! How dare he spread such rumors about me on a nationally televised broadcast?!" LeBron James was trembling with anger, pacing back and forth in the living room.

"Intelligent groin", "Schrödinger's injury"... these words are like sharp knives, stabbing his most sensitive nerves!

Sitting on the other side of the sofa, Dwyane Wade watched his furious good brother and silently picked up an ice pack and put it on his knee.

Yesterday, he played for a full 42 minutes at Quicken Loans Arena, dragging his injured leg which had been suffering from waterlogging, only to become the backdrop for Jeremy Lin's game-winning three-pointer.

Looking at LeBron, who was in a fit of rage and walking with a whirlwind of energy, a hint of suspicion flashed in the depths of his eyes.

"Are you... really hurt?"

The words lingered in Wade's throat for a moment before he finally swallowed them back down.

He was a sentimental person and didn't want to make malicious assumptions about his brother, but Su Yang's words were like a poisonous seed that took root uncontrollably in the Flash's heart.

……

The smoke from the battle on the field has not yet dissipated, but the feast of capital has already begun in Hollywood.

In early March, Su Yang handed over all the team's daily affairs to General Manager Grant and Head Coach Scott, while he himself, along with Dilraba and Gulnazar who had just arrived from New York, landed in Los Angeles on a private jet.

Hollywood, a top-tier hillside villa in Beverly Hills.

Today, we have welcomed a group of special guests – executives from Disney and Marvel Studios.

As a time traveler, Su Yang knew all too well what kind of storm Hollywood would face in 2012.

In a few months, "The Avengers," which swept the globe and raked in $1.5 billion at the box office, will be officially released, ushering in Marvel's golden age.

The Hollywood executives were very respectful to the Chinese-American tycoon's son, who was sitting on the sofa with a fortune of billions.

"Mr. Su, regarding your proposed investment..." a Marvel executive tentatively began.

"Stop talking nonsense, one hundred million US dollars."

Su Yang pushed a Swiss bank draft onto the table: "I want a share of the final box office revenue from 'The Avengers.' I know the film may have entered post-production, but I know Hollywood rules. One hundred million US dollars is enough for you to re-edit and reshoot."

Upon seeing the promissory note with the astonishing figure, the executives' breathing instantly became heavy.

One hundred million US dollars in cash! In this country where capital reigns supreme, Su Yang, waving his checkbook, is practically a god!

"No problem! Mr. Su, your generosity is amazing!" The executives immediately put on a fawning smile.

"In addition, there is an additional condition."

Su Yang reached out and pulled the stunningly beautiful Dilraba and Gulnazar, who were sitting on his left and right sides, into his arms. "In 'The Avengers,' give them two outstanding supporting roles. They don't need too many scenes; just enough for them to show their faces and become internationally recognized."

"Furthermore, I want to see Marvel commit to creating a standalone solo film specifically for them. Of course, I will still be the one to finance that film."

They brought in capital, and a staggering $100 million at that!

How could Hollywood executives possibly refuse?

Let alone just adding two female supporting roles, even if it were just asking Iron Man to say a few lines in Chinese in the movie, they would absolutely do it without hesitation!

The deal was struck instantly, and Marvel executives left with their checks, expressing their deepest gratitude.

Dilraba and Gulnazar, who were sitting next to Su Yang, were completely stunned.

A supporting female character in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?! And a solo movie in the future?!

In the domestic entertainment industry, countless top actresses fight tooth and nail for even a minor role in Hollywood. But now, this young boss can elevate them to the top of Hollywood with a mere wave of his hand!

"Boss...you're so good to us!" Dilraba's eyes welled up with tears as she gave him a passionate kiss.

Not to be outdone, Nazha also clung to her with her charming allure.

Faced with the two stunning beauties' overflowing gratitude, Su Yang naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony.

That night, in this multi-million dollar hillside villa, a thrilling game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) continued until late into the night…

……

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows and onto the large bed.

Su Yang patted the girls who were still fast asleep, put on his bathrobe, went to the balcony, and dialed his father Su Jianxun's confidential phone number back home.

"Old man, did I disturb your meeting?" Su Yang stretched.

Immediately coming from the other end of the phone was Su Jianxun's furious roar: "You unfilial son! How dare you call back?! I just received a report from finance that you transferred one hundred million US dollars from the offshore account and invested it in some lousy movie?!"

"I gave you five hundred million US dollars to gain experience and invest in technology and industry! Is this how you're going to mess around? You're going to use one hundred million US dollars to pick up female celebrities?!" His father's voice made Su Yang's ears go numb.

"Don't get excited, Lao Su. Hollywood is a place of huge profits and fame. I'm investing in Marvel. Don't worry, this money is guaranteed to make a profit, with a net return of at least 50%."

Su Yang lazily reassured him, then changed the subject, his tone becoming serious: "I'm here today because I have a really big business deal that I want to offer you at a discount."

"Find me someone named Zhang Yiming in the Chinese internet community. He should have just started a small startup called 'ByteDance' in Beijing this month."

"Listen to me, at all costs, acquire the largest original share of this company! If he won't sell, throw money at him until he agrees! That thing is absolutely a game-changer for the future!"

As someone with memories of his past life, Su Yang clearly understands what "ByteDance," founded in March 2012, means for the future.

That's a super giant with a market value of hundreds of billions of US dollars! Snatching it away before it even started to shine is the real trump card in business.

"ByteDance? What kind of weird name is that? What kind of scheme are you up to now?" Su Jianxun asked suspiciously on the other end of the phone.

"Just trust me this once."

Su Yang smiled and said, "How about this, let's make a bet. If the movie I invested in loses money in the end, or if the company you bought is a money-loser, I will immediately return to China next year and marry that eldest daughter of the Wang family."

When Su Jianxun heard that his son was actually gambling with his freedom of marriage, he was finally stunned on the other end of the phone.

No one knows a son better than his father. He knew that although Su Yang was usually carefree and irresponsible, he would not hesitate to make decisions on matters of principle.

"Alright! You said it yourself, a man's word is his bond!"

Su Jianxun finally relented, "I won't interfere with the movie. As for that ByteDance company you mentioned, I'll personally send an investment team to investigate. If it really loses money, you'd better come back and get married next year!"
