That night, Cameron Anthony and LeBron James pulled Su Xi into a room to chat for a while. The two of them were full of ambition, both wanting to take the entire NBA by storm.
Halfway through their conversation, they also called over Dwyane Wade from Marquette University.
As soon as Wade arrived, he greeted Su Xi enthusiastically. He said he had watched the game live and thanked Su Xi for his words of affirmation.
Su Xi gave an awkward smile. It wasn't so much that he was affirming Wade's ability, but rather that he wanted to compete against him to accelerate the fusion of his own talents—especially the super-speed talent he had just acquired from Allen Iverson.
If his speed increased to over 80%, Su Xi's abilities would take a quantum leap. He struggled when defending speedy guards precisely because he lacked speed. Of course, agility and coordination were also very important factors.
