Chapter 568 James’s Anger
On March 26th, the league was very lively.
Not only were the Celtics, the number one player in the Eastern Conference, eliminated by the Suns, but the Wizards, the second ranked team in the Eastern Conference, were eliminated by the SuperSonics.
After the Cavaliers, ninth in the Eastern Conference, were defeated by Chandler from the Thunder at home, the Cavaliers' two leading players, James and O'Neal, actually gave a cold stare on the court.
In today's NBA, the whole world knows what kind of person LeBron James is, a gentleman, generous, charitable, loyal, etc. It can be said that as long as beautiful words are thrown at James, that's right. .
Such a player, even if he hates another player on the court, will still maintain his most basic courtesy and self-cultivation.
But in tonight's game, James actually expressed his emotions directly in this way.
How rare is this?
This game showed more than just this aspect of James' extremely angry mood.
After the game, James even wiped off his sweat with the towel handed over by the caddy and threw it directly away. Moreover, he did not throw it into the caddy's arms, but deliberately threw it directly in the opposite direction of the caddy's hand!
This kind of irrational emotional venting is quite shocking.
Obviously, James didn't have any objection to the caddy. He just couldn't vent to O'Neal, but he thought the caddy was O'Neal.
What happened to the Cavaliers was very lively. As the ninth in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers' loss instantly exceeded the losses of the Celtics and Wizards, the two top two teams in the Eastern Conference.
Even Yeosi, who was interviewed after the game with the Wizards, was asked about O'Neal and James.
"Shaq is a champion, one of the greatest players in NBA history, and now one of the best centers in the league."
"LeBron is one of the best players in the NBA and one of the best players in future NBA history."
"Both of them are great players. When such great players face a loss, you can't ask them to face it happily. This is unrealistic. They need temper. This is how they motivate each other. Don’t read too much into it.”
"Yes, according to some rumors within the Cavaliers, James and O'Neal have been having conflicts since they were defeated by you twice before. O'Neal felt that James did not trust him, and James felt that O'Neal did not care about the interests of the team for attention and limelight. Now The two have reached the point of irreconcilability. There are rumors that the Cavaliers are preparing to trade Milicic and Quentin Richardson with O'Neal and the SuperSonics in the offseason. Do you agree with this transaction?"
Trade O'Neal?
Ye Si frowned.
It's not necessary, right?
Aren’t O’Neal’s current statistics on the court pretty good?
During the All-Star Game, O'Neal was praised by a wave of people from all over the United States. After the All-Star Game ended, O'Neal's offensive state on the court was quite outstanding.
After the All-Star Game, O'Neal averaged 22 points per game.
On the offensive end, O'Neal devoted all his strength, so on the defensive end,
O'Neal's performance is naturally predictable.
The game was sealed by Chandler, which is simply unheard of.
James was screwed up by Chandler in this game, and he was filled with anger. Then he saw O'Neal's performance on the defensive end. It would be strange not to be angry. No matter how good the personality is, people will be angry.
I can't hold it in anymore, I really can't hold it in anymore.
After the All-Star Game, the Cavaliers' record was so bad because of O'Neal's poor performance on the defensive end.
ATM
However, there is no doubt that despite becoming an ATM machine on the court, O'Neal has maintained the popularity and limelight he gained in the All-Star Game.
The data is beautiful. After the All-Star Game, he averaged per game. This is the standard for the No. 1 center in the Eastern Conference!
Anyone who has followed the Cavaliers' games for a long time can certainly see how much harm O'Neal's pursuit of data flow in the game has done to the Cavaliers.
James is exhausted on the defensive end. Is it for you, Shaquille O'Neal, to steal the spotlight and rack up statistics on the court?
Co-authored by me, LeBron James's dedicated defense on the court and improvement of the team's record are to assist you and make you the boss of the Cavaliers?
Stop joking, okay?
When you are enjoying those spotlights in front of the media, have you ever thought about your teammates who are still tortured by the snake-letting tactics and Sanders Index?
The Yes Knight can understand James' anger. He understands James much better than he understands O'Neal.
The James now is not the James 8 years from now.
If it were the 32-year-old James eight years later, he could teach O'Neal how to act.
Do you also want to play harvest in front of me?
What kind of fat fox are you that dares to show off in front of me?
James is still young now, and he really can't beat O'Neal in this regard, and he is made uncomfortable by O'Neal.
O'Neal really doesn't care about the Cavaliers and the playoffs that much now.
Wasn't it true that the Eastern Conference's eighth seed in the playoffs was swept by the Celtics? What a loss to the great Shaq.
This is not as good as enjoying high statistics in the regular season.
Based on Ye Si's understanding of O'Neal, O'Neal probably had this idea in mind.
O'Neal doesn't really want to enter the playoffs now. It would be better not to enter in eighth place, but James is different.
As long as he is willing to stick to his loyalty and love for 13 years in a place like Cleveland, even if he is eighth in the Eastern Conference, he will make the playoffs. This is a reward and explanation for the Cavaliers fans who have been cheering for him for a season.
Even though he was kicked out by the Wizards in the first round last season,
If you have to face the Celtics this season, you have to do it hard!
It can be said that O'Neal and James now have irreconcilable conflicts in the direction of the team.
Yes has always respected James' intelligence and sensitivity.
He must have guessed this too.
It's just that James could be so calm after playing him for more than two thousand times, but this time he was so loud, Ye Si knew that James was really desperate.
Maybe he really hinted to the Cavaliers management after the game that he would be there without O'Neal, and that there would be O'Neal without him.
Just obviously.
How could O'Neal be traded away so easily.
What's more, the Cavaliers' owner may not want to trade O'Neal.
After the All-Star Game, the attention O'Neal brought to the Cavaliers and Cleveland is truly addictive.
Cavaliers owner Gilbert has spent so much money and made so many stupid moves in the three years he has been the Cavaliers owner, and finally seems to have made a very good deal. Will O'Neal be sent away now?
Can you be willing?
Moreover, perhaps Gilbert does not think that the Cavaliers' current record is due to O'Neal alone.
There is nothing wrong with O'Neal focusing on the offensive end now. Even if he only attacks, he has contributed everything to the Cavaliers. There is nothing wrong with him trying to get attention. If he gets attention, doesn't the Cavaliers also get attention?
In the second half of this season, the Cavaliers' attention is much higher than in the previous two seasons.
Perhaps for Gilbert, O'Neal's current physical strength is limited, and he may want O'Neal to put all his energy on the offensive end more than O'Neal.
As for the Cavaliers' record and losses...
Take this game as an example. If James is not 6-for-14 in this game, if James can score two more points in this game, the Cavaliers will win!
James may be more responsible for the Cavaliers' current record.
Gilbert was very sad for O'Neal.
But James was the one he had to keep.
If he wants to be recognized in Cleveland, he must keep James.
This is also the reason why he was willing to pay the luxury tax in a small place like Cleveland.
Just show it off and let James know that he is also working hard.
Now if Gilbert really told James to trade O'Neal for Milicic and Richardson, he was obviously just pretending.
Only a fool would trade a promising young All-Star center for someone who is about to retire at some point. Does the SuperSonics seem like a team that lacks O'Neal's attention?
Gilbert's calculation was very loud, LeBron, look, I traded, I either didn't trade, or I couldn't trade.
Otherwise, will you continue to work together?
Ye Si felt that Gilbert seemed to be quite good at this, and it seemed that this was not the first time he had done this in front of James.
For example, Gilbert hired Larry Hughes as an assistant for James...
According to Gilbert's assumption, James never thought that he would play like this.
Ye Si is very aware of the intellectual arrogance of these white people.
Gilbert didn't know enough about James.
Based on Ye Si's understanding of James' IQ, James must have noticed that Gilbert was an unreliable cheat.
It's just that James' love for Cleveland and the Cavaliers made him endure it until 2016.
Now James was desperate and wanted to see Gilbert's attitude again. Gilbert used this attitude to deal with James.
Ye Si felt a little sad for James.
It doesn’t matter if your IQ is looked down upon by others, but your loyalty has become a tool for others to make profits.
If he were James...
Ye Si wasn't sure what he would do.
"Yes, according to the news ahead, Cavaliers owner Gilbert seems to have promised James that he will discuss trading O'Neal with the SuperSonics during the offseason. What do you think?"
"What do I think? Do you think this is possible?"
After Ye Si finished speaking calmly, he stood up and left the post-match press conference.
Yeas sympathized with James' loyalty to Cleveland being exploited by Gilbert.
However, he thinks it's good for O'Neal to follow James by his side.
Before his hard power has grown up, if O'Neal is not around James, he will be 'bullied' by James every time he sees James, just like Kobe is now.
James' talent is so outstanding that he is definitely the player most feared by all defenders in the league.
March 27, 2007, Cleveland.
LeBron James looked at the pile of newspapers in his hand, the expression on his face was very scary.
The Cleveland Honesty newspaper in my hand didn't accuse him of being unreliable.
The Cleveland Honest Daily reports that the Cavaliers management is preparing to trade O'Neal for Milicic plus Richardson in the offseason.
Seeing this news, James held the newspaper with both hands as if he was going to crush it into pieces.
Are you taking me for a fool again? !
Do you really think that I don’t know the whole story about the ‘Unreliable Mr. Pu’ that was reported last time by the Cleveland Honesty Man?
Do you really think that I don’t know anything about the anonymous person within the Cavaliers who complained about me being unreliable as told by the reporter from The Honest Daily?
James knows very well, he knows, he knows everything!
He knew this a long time ago.
However, his bond with Cleveland was played with by Gilbert, a native of Detroit, and he had no choice but to do anything about it. This was the most painful thing for him.
He is now extremely envious and jealous of Yes!
I am more than just envious of Yes' performance on the court.
I’m also jealous that Yes can have a boss like that.
Recently, after the NCAA entered the All-Star Tournament stage, James also regretted it countless times.
If he had not entered the NBA directly, but played in the NCAA, would his career have been completely different?
In Cleveland, he was tricked by Gilbert.
He wanted help, and Gilbert found him help.
He wanted to strengthen the team, so Gilbert paid the luxury tax for him.
Gilbert seemed to have given everything to him in Cleveland.
Even the Cavaliers fans who support him are full of gratitude to Gilbert.
Gilbert didn't give him any reason to attack at all.
He has the unlimited support of Cavaliers fans behind him.
Gilbert also has the endless support of Cavaliers fans behind him.
If he wants to attack Gilbert, he is going to attack the Cavaliers fans who support him.
This is the most despairing part.
If he were Dwyane and didn't know anything, he might be fooled for the rest of his life.
But, how could he be Dwyane!
How could he be willing to stay in Cleveland and be tricked by Gilbert for the rest of his life? !
In front of a highly intelligent conspirator like Gilbert, it is useless to talk about feelings and ideals. When dealing with these capitalists, it is best not to talk about rabbits but only interests.
Don't listen to what they say, watch what they do.
However, now he is not qualified to negotiate with Gilbert on an equal footing.
He is now a pawn in Gilbert's hands to gain support and interest in Cleveland.
James took a deep breath.
This is a desperate situation.
Outside, Yes had already walked so far away that his eyes could no longer keep up with his steps.
Outside, Dwyane has taken the lead to win the championship, and he hasn't even started yet.
Outside, Cameron and Chris have found the right place for their efforts and progress, but he is still in Cleveland, scheming with his teammates and bosses, and he is wasting his life!
Love for Cleveland…
"Are you really convinced of me like this?"
James' faint voice made the originally warm air become cold again.
