After finishing his call with Larry Bird, Su Xi received another call from Isaiah Thomas.
Isaiah Thomas congratulated Su Xi on the major victory. He was most pleased that Su Xi had solved his stamina problem. He also thanked Su Xi for teaching Carl Malone a harsh lesson, destroying his championship dream and making him leave the court on his knees.
Isaiah Thomas utterly detested Carl Malone.
Then, Nike also called to congratulate him.
Nike was currently feeling a mix of pain and pleasure. While the huge bonus payments made them wince, if Su Xi led his team to defeat the OK Combination and win the Finals MVP in his rookie season, his popularity on the court would reach an unprecedented peak.
Nike would definitely reap huge rewards from this. They would certainly promote Su Xi as their number one asset and had even come up with tags like 'Successor to the League' and 'Ruler of a New Era'.
This would make things a bit awkward for James.
