340 The offseason is over, time to compete in the preseason!
At the event, celebrities were enthusiastic and generously donated to the cause. In less than half an hour, approximately $30 million was raised, including a portion donated by Su Hao. In addition, Kobe Bryant and other celebrities also donated generously.
The principal gratefully thanked Su Hao and the others: "Thank you so much for your support and help. I feel really bad that you have contributed both your time and money."
Su Hao smiled and replied, "Public welfare requires our joint efforts. Only by working together can we create a better learning environment for the children here and give them the opportunity to give back to society."
Kobe chimed in, "Su Hao is right. This little bit of money is nothing to us. Principal, you don't need to worry about it."
Afterwards, the principal warmly invited Su Hao, Kobe, and others to dinner, but they politely declined. After all, they were already bursting with excitement and eager to embark on their vacation.
However, for Su Hao, this summer was destined to be busy and fulfilling, and he didn't have much free time to squander.
After saying goodbye to Kobe and others, Su Hao left with his agent.
"No missions today, right? I'll head back and rest then!" Su Hao said to his agent, Jeff Augustine, while stretching.
“Yes, there are no tasks assigned for today, but there are tasks waiting for you tomorrow!” Jeff Augustine replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Su Hao shook his head helplessly, thinking: This is my first off-season! There are so many things waiting for him to do. Besides playing basketball, he also has to participate in various activities. For Su Hao, who achieved fame at a young age, this summer will definitely be fulfilling.
"I'll go back and rest now. Call me if you need anything!" Su Hao dragged his tired body and slowly left the scene, returning home.
During the offseason, Su Hao signed five endorsement deals and also established his own brand company. He certainly doesn't have time to manage the company's daily operations himself, so he's handed it all over to Taylor Swift's team. This way, Su Hao can focus more on his basketball career.
Furthermore, during the limited free time of the off-season, Su Hao and Taylor Swift's relationship deepened significantly. They spent many wonderful moments together, and their understanding and trust in each other grew even stronger. This sweet romance became a highlight of Su Hao's life, making him feel incredibly happy.
The off-season is short, and with its end, the Summer League begins.
As a key player for the team, Su Hao shouldn't have needed to play in the Summer League. However, he still chose to participate to maintain his competitive level and prepare for the upcoming regular season.
"Beep...beep...beep..."
"Hello? Who is it?"
"Su Hao, are you sure you want to participate in the Summer League?" the Clippers' head coach asked on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, is there something wrong?" Su Hao asked curiously.
"There's nothing wrong with it. I thought you weren't going to participate in the Summer League! I wasn't even planning to put you on the roster! I wanted you to get some rest!" the manager said with a smile.
"I appreciate the manager's kindness, but I think it's necessary for me to participate. After all, I need to maintain my competitive form, and we still need to defend our championship title!" Su Hao said.
"Okay! Then I'll put you on the roster! Tomorrow our opponent is the Lakers, and I've already sent you the game schedule. Please take a look!" the manager said.
"Okay! That's all for now." With that, Su Hao hung up the phone.
At this moment, Su Hao was filled with anticipation and a desire for challenge. Although it was just a summer league, it was an excellent opportunity for him to test his strength and adjust his form. He knew that only through continuous honing could he continue to demonstrate outstanding performance in the new season. Facing his old rival, the Lakers, further ignited his fighting spirit.
"The Lakers, we're meeting again!" Su Hao muttered to himself, a determined glint in his eyes.
The next day, Su Hao arrived at the court early to warm up and discuss tactics with his teammates.
Despite it being just a summer league match, the stadium was packed with people.
Both participating teams are from Los Angeles, so they can be considered to be playing on home turf.
In the past, Staples Center fans were only fond of the Lakers. However, since Su Hao joined the Clippers and led the team to the championship, his explosive dunks in the game have deeply impressed the people of Los Angeles.
In fact, it wasn't just because Su Hao brought brilliant achievements to the Clippers and his outstanding performance on the court that convinced them, but also because the Lakers' performance had been consistently poor in recent years, leaving fans without any hope and gradually losing their former enthusiasm!
Su Hao and his teammates, dressed in their jerseys, ran out of the player tunnel. The audience erupted in cheers, a deafening roar that filled the air.
"Clippers are the champions!" This familiar slogan echoed in the air, as if reminding people of the "Lakers are the champions!" that used to frequently resound in this arena back in the day!
Although today's game was just a preseason match, Su Hao was still scheduled to start.
The Lakers, on the other hand, did not field Kobe, instead having several veterans lead a few rookies in the game.
This is probably because the Lakers want to protect Kobe and prevent his injury from worsening. After all, Kobe is no longer young, and his physical condition is not what it used to be. Forcing him to play could lead to aggravation of his injury, affecting his entire season and even his career.
Whether Kobe plays or not is irrelevant to them. Even if he does, it will be a crushing defeat. They might as well conserve their strength and maybe they will have a chance to make it to the playoffs!
"Beep—" The referee blew the whistle to start the game.
The Clippers did not field their full starting lineup. Although the team is strong overall, the coaching staff made some adjustments considering the opponent's situation and the schedule.
Clippers starting lineup: Curry, George, Brown, Gordon, Su Hao. This lineup is primarily offensive-minded. George, a recent Clippers draft pick, is a versatile player who excels in both offense and defense. However, the strongest point of this lineup is in the paint, thanks to Su Hao.
Lakers' starting lineup: Odom, Artest, Farmar, Walton, Vujacic. In comparison, the Lakers' roster appears somewhat lacking in star power, but these players are all experienced veterans, and their teamwork should not be underestimated.
