It was a bit cold in Cleveland on December 10, 2007.

Since December this year, it has rained in Cleveland for 10 days in a row.

Sub-zero temperatures, combined with the eerie rainfall, put the whole of Cleveland in a very sour atmosphere.

With only half a month left before Christmas on December 25th, it stands to reason that Cleveland should be in the Christmas mood now.

But neither on the streets of Cleveland nor inside the Cleveland Cavaliers, there was no Christmas atmosphere.

"Damn the weather!"

Daniel Gibson, who stepped into the Cleveland training gym early in the morning, cursed secretly.

Whether it's the weather in Cleveland or the Cleveland Cavaliers' record, it feels extremely depressing.

So much so that the whole team is now immersed in a strange atmosphere.

When Daniel Gibson came to the arena, he saw that the familiar No. 23 figure had already arrived at the training hall early.

Seeing this back, the expression on Daniel Gibson's face was full of adoration.

This is a person who truly deserves respect.

Even if he has now become the object of hunting all over the world, his fighting spirit, his will, and his efforts are worth learning from everyone.

In the entire Cavaliers, he was the only one who had seen the moon at four o'clock in the morning in Cleveland.

This is a model who can sacrifice everything for him.

If it weren't for him, he Daniel Gibson would just be an unappreciated piece of garbage who left the NBA in one spin.

With his support, he can now become one of the NBA's most promising young shooters.

He averaged 18 points per game in the NBA and shot 42% from three-point range, which was an achievement that he would never have imagined before.

Now, when he was in the second grade, he had reached that achievement.

Every time he looks at his average technical stats per game this season, Daniel Gibson has a feeling of unreality.

Because, he is now averaging 0.1 more points per game than his NCAA boss Aldridge!

Daniel Gibson has always been well aware of how everything he has now came from.

Without this 23rd, he would not have been where he is now!

He is willing to give everything for this 23rd, even his life if necessary!

Like all Cleveland natives, he longed to see the day he was truly crowned king of Cleveland!

And unlike other Cleveland natives, he can fight for this great king with a bow and arrow, and they can only shout for him from the side!

It's just that......

Daniel Gibson didn't know what to think, and the expression on his face was a little hateful and a little resentful.

There are many people who shout and cheer for this king, but like him, there are very few people who give everything for this king to fight.

Looking at the now empty knight training hall, Daniel Gibson clenched his fists tightly.

It's six o'clock in the morning and the training hall is understandably empty.

After all, not everyone is a great effort like LeBron.

Not everyone is a repayer like him.

But what if two hours later, the Cavaliers' training hall is still empty?

Now this knight has become something he no longer recognizes.

Since the Cavaliers traded for O'Neal from the Heat and Ben Wallace from the Bulls, this team is no longer the team he knows.

Last season, the Cavaliers weren't that strong, though, and didn't have the greatest center in NBA history, nor did they have one of the greatest defensive centers in NBA history.

But everyone's heart is neat, and everyone is working hard to fight for that king.

Valejo, Drugouden, Big Z......

Everyone is fighting wholeheartedly for the king and the city where the king is located.

Now, this atmosphere of striving for progress is completely gone.

A team with LeBron James, O'Neal and Ben Wallace, in the NBA's regular season, and still in the East, has a record of only 7 wins and 15 losses.

has the second strongest hard power in the entire East, and the final ranking is only the eighth place in the East!

This is an absolutely intolerable achievement.

It's not just that he can't stand it, he believes that LeBron James is even more unbearable.

It's just that in the face of O'Neill's laziness and Ben Wallace's desirelessness, this king has no way.

These two big guys who spoil the atmosphere of the team have too high a status in the NBA.

What's more, he also knows very well that LeBron James has also been putting up with O'Neal and Ben Wallace.

LeBron James needs the play of these two in key games.

LeBron James can tolerate them not training hard and not working hard in ordinary games, but he hopes that they can be the fighters he relies on the most when it matters most.

What are the important competitions?

Playoffs, of course...... And the Christmas war half a month later!

As long as they can play their strong strength in the Christmas game and the playoffs, LeBron James can put up with all their willfulness.

Daniel Gibson didn't know what to say about this.

To O'Neill and Ben Wallace, Daniel Gibson knew that he was desperate.

And LeBron, he hasn't despaired yet.

Even if the season is 1-7 and the West starts with a six-game losing streak, even if it is now 22 games played, the Cavaliers' record is 7-15, LeBron James has not despaired.

I'm still looking forward to the Christmas game in half a month, and I'm looking forward to the playoffs this season.

Daniel Gibson doesn't know if James was right to expect that.

But he knows that he needs to pick up the basketball on the court, and then work hard to improve his strength through training, and become the most important help next to LeBron James.

Even if the whole world is not standing by his side, I will stand by his side.

The Cavaliers' training hall is quiet now, and there are only two players training hard in the huge training hall.

looked at Daniel Gibson, who was now standing on the 3-meter-2 high platform he had just used not far away.

James' face was full of relief.

He can now really understand why Yes is so keen to develop young junk players.

This can gain far more than a sense of achievement, but also irreplaceable loyalty.

It's just that......

This kind of cultivation is really too slow, too slow.

Sluggish?

Thinking of this, James shook his head helplessly and bitterly.

For him, too slow, but for Yes......

LeBron James sighed heavily.

He still can't understand why the Seattle SuperSonics, who were considered to be at the bottom of the West at the start of the season, can now be the joint first in the West and the league under Yes.

19 wins and 2 losses.

If someone said before the start of the season that this was a supersonic record, I am afraid it would be considered an idiot.

Not to mention 19-2, 2-19 is about the same!

He has always been envious of Yes's treatment in the media world.

This treatment, which originally belonged to him, now falls on Yes's head as it is.

In the past, he had always felt very unwilling.

This thing that originally belonged to him should have always belonged to him.

Even last season, when Yes was going crazy with the supersonic speed in the playoffs, he felt that he should be able to snatch back what belonged to him.

That's what motivated him to train so hard this summer!

After getting O'Neill and Ben Wallace, he even felt that this year's Christmas War was the time for him to regain all the glory that belonged to him.

But now......

Now that the SuperSonics are tied for first place with the Suns and Rockets at 19-2, even if he beats Yes in the Christmas game this year, he will not be able to snatch the halo that Yes snatched from him.

With such a supersonic, in first place in the league in the regular season, what's wrong with losing a Christmas game?

By that time, the victory in the Christmas war had become irrelevant.

Unless, this year's Christmas game is about the number one game in the league, and the Cavaliers not only beat the supersonics, but also drive them out of the league.

If this is the case, even if he can't snatch all the lost aura from Yes's hands, he can temporarily regain most of his lost dignity.

Of course, if he could, he would have preferred that the SuperSonics would have been better off playing the Christmas War than the number one in the league.

The supersonic are now in the first place in the league, and the pressure on him is just too great.

Every time those media in the United States mention the current record of the SuperSonics, and then see the current record of the Cavaliers, these media will not let him and his Cavaliers go.

Back then, he and Kobe Bryant were the control group, and the media liked to use him to compare Kobe Bryant.

Now, he and Yes are in the control group.

It's very uncomfortable.

And what is even more uncomfortable is that in the face of the ridicule of these media in the United States, he can't even fight back at all.

When the media used him to hack Kobe, Kobe Bryant could still fight back a little.

Now he is considered inferior to Yes in every way.

He admits that his ability to lead the team is indeed not as good as Yes.

After all, even Jordan and Magic have admitted that Yes has the best ability to lead the team in NBA history.

But in addition to the ability to lead the team, James doesn't think he's much weaker than Yes!

Maybe even the weak ones really only have the ability to lead the team!

Last season, he struggled with what he didn't do as well as Yes was his shooting ability.

Throughout the summer, he practiced shooting like crazy.

But what about the end result?

In the face of vicious snake release tactics, no matter how good his shooting practice is, it is useless!

When he can practice his shooting to the point where he can break 45% of the snake release tactics.

40% of the snake release tactics are waiting for him in front.

When he breaks 40%, the front is 35%!

When he can break 35%......

It was already the Year of the Monkey!

There are really not many teams in the league that can use 35% defensive intensity to release snakes.

But it just so happens to be a strong team on his way to the championship!

In other words, if he wants to shoot to break the snake release tactic, how much effort will he need to put in?

He was willing to put in the effort, but he wasn't willing to put in that much time!

By the time his shot is powerful enough to break through any defensive intensity, is that the year of the monkey?

Not a year, not two years, not three years, not even four years, not five years......

Just when the appearance of the Sanders index made him feel hopeless in life, he finally realized!

This is also thanks to the game between Yes and the Spurs, Yes's strong shooting ability can't break the Spurs' 35% snake release tactics with shots.

Yes finally smashed the snake release tactic, and instead of shooting, it was his passing!

That incredible hurricane pass and the best behind-the-back pass ever.

As long as he can learn these two passes, then he can win with his team even if he only takes less than 10 shots in a game!

As long as he can learn these two passes, he won't have to shoot those damn shots again!

Yes can use these two powerful passes to turn Durant into a rookie scoring champion, and if he learns these two great passes, he can also develop Daniel Gibson into an NBA scoring champion!

It's just that......

He has tried to pass like this in recent games, but all the mistakes he has come back have come back from.

He certainly wouldn't think Daniel Gibson was inferior to Durant, and those mistakes were all because he hadn't learned his passing home yet.

It doesn't matter if you haven't arrived home yet, James isn't depressed at all.

Unlike shooting, passing has always been his most talented skill!

Shooting to the Yes level, he doesn't have confidence.

But when he practices his passing to the Yes level, he is still confident!

As long as he learns these two passes of Yes, it's time for him LeBron James to really take off!

Of course, this will take time.

Until then, this year's Christmas game will still be a thunderous blow to Yes, O'Neal and Ben Wallace are not unsatisfactory against other teams, but they will certainly not be unsatisfactory against Yes!

In addition to the first time, the SuperSonics also have the weakest defensive forward in the league, Durant!

The SuperSonics are the only team in the league that doesn't use any snake tactics!

However, before the Cavaliers can deliver a supersonic thunder blow, other teams need to stop the supersonic first!

James is confident about tonight's game between the SuperSonics and the Thunder.

He is sure that Chris Paul, his best friend, will not let him down!

The Seattle SuperSonics and Thunder have to play two games in a row, and even if they can't win, they can be consumed with all their might.

In the face of Yes, Chris will definitely not have any reservations!

Naturally, Yees and the SuperSonics, who returned to Seattle from Salt Lake City, would not have known that there was such a person who had always cared about them, thousands of miles away.

On December 10, 2007, the Seattle SuperSonics defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder, eighth in the West, 109-103 at home.

Then, on December 12, the Seattle SuperSonics came to Oklahoma and faced the Thunder fans, who are known as the craziest Thunder fans of the season, and defeated the Thunder led by Chris Paul 111-105 in the boos of the whole court!

In just 3 days, they defeated the Thunder twice, bringing the SuperSonics' current record to 21-2

At the same time, these two games against the Thunder are also the 10th and 11th consecutive wins of the SuperSonics this season.

Even though the supersonic speed is still ranked third in the West, the whole of Seattle is still in the heat of the extreme.

It was in this extreme heat that the Seattle SuperSonics came to Minnesota.

The opponent of the SuperSonics on December 14 was the Timberwolves.

A much-anticipated Chinese derby.
