"How much?! 2 years, 24 million? An Undrafted Player? Are you sure you're not joking with me?!"
"F-fake... right? How is this possible?!"
"WTF? He's an Undrafted Player, why him? Why give such a high salary to a player like that?!
Isn't that like a white swan stripping naked and kneeling before a toad?!
This is absurd!
I don't believe it, I don't believe it.
Absolutely not!!!"
"Hehe~ Why don't you believe it?
You might not know how monstrous Su Yan, an Undrafted Player, has been playing this past week.
NBA career debut.
Played 5 minutes, scored 24 points, and delivered a step-back Three-point Shot buzzer-beater, single-handedly cremating the "thunders big three".
Against the Detroit Pistons, he easily put up 25 points.
Against the Warriors, he exploded for 37 points, hitting a remarkable 10 Three-point Shots, setting a new single-game Three-point Shot record for the season.
He also became the ninth player in NBA history to hit 10+ Three-point Shots in a single game.
Isn't that an explosive performance?
And last night, another 9 Three-point Shots, his output was as astonishing as ever, racking up 36 points, 5 steals, and 4 Blockings.
What is this?!
"Top-tier 3&D Player" level.
The era is now moving towards the small ball era, and Su Yan is a potential stock that aligns with the times!!!
Not only does he play well.
Su Yan also has the backing of Dragon Country, with a massive market; just look at the popularity Yao Ming has.
With all these factors combined.
Su Yan, whose popularity is rapidly growing, will instantly become a hot commodity once his name gets out, making the entire league scramble for him!"
"Ahem... various teams have long been openly and secretly vying to sign Su Yan."
"Even so, he is still an Undrafted Player, and his talent isn't particularly outstanding.
Furthermore.
He has only played 4 games in the league; you could call his playstyle ahead of its time, or against its time.
He definitely hasn't fully proven himself yet.
But for him to get a higher salary than several all-stars, isn't that a bit hard to convince people?!"
"Su Yan certainly doesn't deserve it; it just goes to show that the New York Knicks are 'rich idiots'!"
"Hehe~ Typical sour grapes! Pure jealousy!"
"To be honest! An Undrafted Player getting an all-star annual salary, this is truly too exaggerated, too outrageous, too unbelievable!"
"…"
Fans reading the news reports, and netizens on various basketball websites.
Everyone debated fiercely.
It became uncontrollable.
It wasn't until 12 noon, when the NBA officially announced the new player of the week, that everyone's attention shifted slightly.
First, for the Western Conference.
Chris Kaman of the Los Angeles Clippers was selected.
Last week, he averaged: 25.7 points, 11.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals, 2.5 Blockings, leading his team to a 3-0 record.
The Los Angeles Clippers had been playing poorly all season.
Last week, they suddenly erupted, achieving a 3-game winning streak, and Chris Kaman's contribution was indispensable.
He displayed extraordinary dominance in the paint.
His selection as the Western Conference player of the week was well-deserved.
What about the Eastern Conference?!
The NBA first presented three sets of statistics.
Orlando Magic's "The Superman" Howard, averaged last week: 19 points, 19 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 3.5 Blockings.
Leading his team to a 3-0 record.
Cleveland Cavaliers' "The Little Emperor" LeBron, averaged last week: 30 points, 8.5 rebounds, 9.0 assists, 1.0 steal, 1.0 Blocking.
Leading his team to a 3-1 record.
New York Knicks' Su Yan, averaged last week: 30.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 2.5 steals, 1.8 Blockings.
Leading his team to a 4-0 record.
At first glance, everyone's initial reaction wasn't to compare who performed better, but rather to see a very striking name.
Who?
It was Su Yan.
He's an Undrafted Player, he shouldn't even be in the player of the week selection.
This is an incredible honor.
You know... many skilled players in the NBA might never win a player of the week honor in their entire careers.
Now.
Su Yan, an Undrafted Player, is competing for this honor in his first week in the league; the shock it gives people is imaginable.
Crucially.
After seeing his concrete statistical performance, everyone couldn't help but feel that he was indeed quite good.
Immediately.
They all speculated who would win player of the week.
"Uh... it should be LeBron, right? 30+ near triple-double, plus 1 steal and 1 block, an all-around 'hexagonal warrior'.
What's even more commendable is.
He also helped the team win, which definitely qualifies as player of the week level."
"The Superman with 19 points + 19 rebounds + 3.5 blocks, his dominance in the paint is unmatched; Western Conference player of the week Chris Kaman.
He'd have to walk with his head down in front of The Superman."
"They're all so strong, it's hard to choose!"
"If I had to choose, I'd pick The Superman. His stats are comparable to LeBron's, but player of the week consideration also takes record into account.
LeBron lost one game.
"The Superman" Howard narrowly wins!"
"I agree!"
"??? Why are you leaving Su Yan out? Isn't his performance good?!"
"Su Yan? As an Undrafted Player rookie, he indeed played well. Saying he's the Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week, that's fine.
But this is the player of the week evaluation, a competition among all players in the Eastern Conference.
That's where he falls short.
His 30.5 points are comparable to LeBron's, but his rebounds and assists are inferior to LeBron's, and his rebounds and blocks are completely overshadowed by Howard.
He played very well.
But not as good as LeBron and Howard."
"That makes sense!"
"Agreed!"
"Nonsense, have you even seen Su Yan's performance last week? You have no idea how good Su Yan played!"
"…"
Fans expressed their opinions, arguing again, with no one conceding, leading to no resolution.
But this is what the NBA official wanted to see.
After a while, once the hype built up, the NBA officially announced: Su Yan was named Eastern Conference player of the week.
Fans who supported Su Yan were overjoyed, feeling like they had won a great victory.
Opponents were puzzled.
Why?!
The NBA official also gave an explanation: First, in Su Yan's first game, he only played five minutes, and apart from 24 points, all other stats were zero.
This inherently lowered his average stats.
Second, on top of already good stats, Su Yan also averaged 8.5 Three-point Shots per game, which is terrifying.
An unprecedented level.
He elevated the Three-point Shot to a new, perception-breaking height.
Third, a 20-point comeback, a step-back buzzer-beater, ending a 10-game losing streak, 10 Three-point Shots, and a "Top-tier 3&D Player" performance.
Su Yan's performance last week was exceptionally eye-catching.
Finally, coupled with his Undrafted Player status, the sense of impact and contrast it created was too strong.
Therefore.
Su Yan was named Eastern Conference player of the week!
"WTF~ 8.5 Three-point Shots per game?!"
"My apologies, my apologies!"
"I knew Su Yan had some Three-point Shot skill, but 8.5 Three-point Shots per game in his first week in the league, that's still too exaggerated!"
"He really did deliver a phenomenon-level, perception-breaking performance!"
"Su Yan, worthy of the Imperial Ancestral Temple!"
You don't know it until you hear it; once you hear it, you're shocked..
When the NBA official listed out the reasons one by one, the originally opposing fans were all speechless.
Immediately after.
The NBA official also dropped two even more explosive major records!!!
