Chapter 461: James's Tears

December 25, 2007, Cleveland Quickfinance Arena.

Every Cavaliers fan at the scene looked at the score on the scoreboard, with an incredible and painful look on their faces.

118 to 97!

In a game where they almost all had the power of the whole city, the huge margin of 21 points has put the entire Quick-Loan Arena into a dead silence now.

At the end of the game, the Cleveland Cavaliers lost by 21 points at home!

James, O'Neal, Ben Wallace, the Cavaliers who are almost a Big Three configuration were swept by the SuperSonics by 21 points at home!

The biggest difference in the game was 28 points!

What's more, in the fourth quarter of this game, Yes sat on the sidelines the whole time and did not play.

And their pride, the son of Cleveland, LeBron James played the entire fourth quarter!

Even so, the Cleveland Cavaliers still lost by 21 points on their home court.

32-28, that's the single-quarter score of a fourth-quarter game without Yes.

With James crazy speed, crazy pursuit, supersonic speed and no Yes, the Cavaliers scored the game's highest single quarter 32 points.

And the SuperSonics, although not as good as the James-led Cavaliers, only scored 28 points in a single quarter, but this score is enough for the SuperSonics to sit on the court and win by the way.

Quick Loan Arena, after the game, now many people are looking at the live scoreboard in a daze.

That's a pretty magical score.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, because James stayed on the court and Yes was always off the court, many people were more optimistic that James could bring Yes back to the court with the Cavaliers.

This rotation of the SuperSonics is just rubbish on the offensive end.

The whole team revolves around Durant.

In terms of James' single-defense strength in this game, Durant must not be defended to death by James on the offensive end, hammered to death!

But the end result?

In this fast-paced fourth quarter, Durant shot 5-of-13 from the field and shot 38.5 percent from the field.

The hit rate is very low.

It's really very low.

However, as long as you watch the game in the fourth quarter, no one will think that Durant's shooting percentage is low!

Throughout the fourth quarter, James was frantically targeting Durant.

James ignored the Cavaliers' basket protection, and also gave up the help defense of other SuperSonics players, and wholeheartedly pinched Durant.

This is the strongest defensive intensity James has ever come up with.

James has only used this level of defensive intensity against three players this season.

One is Kobe, one is Yes, and the other is Durant in the fourth quarter.

In addition to the Yes bug, the last Kobe Bryant who was treated like this by James was 8 of 22 shots in the whole game, with a shooting rate of 36%!

Durant faced James' defense in the fourth quarter, and in terms of offensive efficiency, he was a little better than Kobe.

In the face of James' desperate defensive style, except for Yes, who dares to say that his shooting percentage can be higher than Durant's, and his offense is better than Durant's?

In recent times, Durant's shooting percentage has been hovering around 40% per game.

The 38.5% shooting rate in this game can also be seen as a fluctuation of around 40%!

With James' unbelievable level of defense, Durant's offensive efficiency is about the same as usual.

In other words, James went all out in this game, even if O'Neal Ben Wallace couldn't prevent Yes, even Yes's little brother Durant didn't prevent it!

Magical or not?

Durant shot 5-of-13 in the fourth quarter, and James shot 5-of-13 in the fourth quarter!

Durant scored 15 points on 5-of-13 shooting.

James scored 18 points on 5-of-13 shooting.

James made a lot more free throws than Durant.

If you remove the free throws, James and Durant will have the same scoring efficiency in the fourth quarter!

The performances of the two were evenly divided.

No, it's not an equal score, although the shooting percentages of Durant and James are the same, most of Durant's points are three-pointers, and without free throws, Durant scores more than James!

"In the fourth quarter, James' purpose was to force Yes, but in the end, Durant led the team to block James."

Looking at the round-eyed James on the court with an incredible face, to be reasonable, Barkley now also feels incredible.

In the face of James' defense in the fourth quarter, Durant can shoot even 30% from the field is already very satisfying.

But in the end, he played with the same efficiency as James, which is really magical.

Is Durant still the No. 1 player on ESPN's garbage list?

"Is this guy really still the same Du Fifteen?"

The supersonic players sitting next to Yes are now more shocked than those professionals on the field.

How much they hated Durant before, and how shocked they are now.

"Is this still the guy we're going to get rid of?"

led the team alone to block the knight's swift counterattack.

This is the first time for supersound!

In the past, the supersonic speeds, after Yes went off the court, there was no second point player who could score consistently.

The reason why the SuperSonics' rotation is not the best in the league is because they lack a player who can score consistently no matter what the situation.

Frequent dumb fires.

If it's against James like this in the fourth quarter.

They can be sure that if it was the previous supersonic rotation lineup, it would definitely be a dumb fire.

They need Yes to get back on the pitch and be consistent.

But Durant really stabilized the supersonic situation on the court.

Durant did in the fourth quarter, on the offensive end, what Milicic, Rondo and all the other SuperSonics players except Yes didn't do!

"This guy can really be Pippen next to Yes!"

David Lee's exclamation made all the supersonic players around Yes who were envious and silent come back from their distractions.

For a while, none of the supersonic players showed a very inconsistent expression on their faces.

As the now recognized second leader of the supersonics, Milicic is still surprised by the expression on his face now, which is the expression of most supersonic players now.

And Rondo......

The expression on Rondo's face was very unhappy right now.

What does this guy really mean to be Pippen by Yes's side?

What about Pippen Nyima!

Short Li, if you can't speak, just shut up!

Yes doesn't need Pippen by his side at all, it's enough for Yes to have a second master by his side!

What Pippen is not Pippen, that's the feudal remnants of the NBA!

Nima's, Du Fifteen can really compete with the second master for the position of the second master?!

Durant's performance in the fourth quarter was very satisfying.

After testing in the fourth quarter of this game, Yeyes can finally determine that Durant's trait really exists.

Durant shot 5-of-13 in the fourth quarter and 12-of-30 for the game, just over 40%!

It's truly magical!

Of course, on top of that, the SuperSonics' change of attitude towards Durant now makes Yes equally happy.

This means that Durant's second mission may be completed.

Not only is Durant's second-oldest task possible, but if other players are no longer obsessed with getting Durant away, then they may also have tasks that can be done.

It's a virtuous cycle!

Ye Si didn't expect that this game with the Cavaliers could give him so many surprises.

This game with the Cavaliers, whether it is for Yes, Durant or for the SuperSonics, is a surprise.

But it was an impossible game for James to bear.

This season, he has suffered so much ridicule and so many hardships in Cleveland, but he still has hope for the future and still feels that the future is full of brightness.

Why is that?!

Isn't it because he always felt that his knight was stronger than Yes's hypersound?

He has always felt that Yes's current strength is temporarily above him, and the overall strength of his knights is above supersound.

And the knight is still a lot above supersound!

He's going to prove it in this game, O'Neal, Ben Wallace, his teammates are going to prove it for him!

But what was the end result?

Again and again, O'Neill and Ben Wallace inexplicably stood in his way in pursuit of Yes!

In the eyes of the Cavaliers fans and the audience in front of the TV, he, O'Neal and Ben Wallace couldn't help Yes alone.

But what is the reality?

The reality is that he is on the court alone against O'Neal and Ben Wallace plus Yes 3!

1 to 3 is not Yes, it's him!

These are known to no one but him!

Desperately, he even suspected that O'Neill and Ben Wallace were cheating on him.

He didn't do anything about either of them.

The prestige of these two in the NBA is too high and too high!

As long as these two are injury-free, as long as they want to play on the court, no one in the entire NBA will dare to put them off the court.

He doesn't have that prestige, and Mike Brown doesn't have that prestige!

What's more, O'Neal and the Cavaliers now have a three-year, $60 million contract that runs until the summer of 2010!

Three years! O'Neal's super big contract will cost him three years!

And Ben Wallace, like O'Neal, also has a three-year contract, and Ben Wallace's remaining three-year contract is not as big as O'Neal, but it is also 3 years and 45 million!

O'Neal and Ben Wallace's contracts are 35 million a year, as long as the Cavaliers have these two, the Cavaliers don't want to have any room to operate!

If these two people are completely incapacitated, he can also let the knight boss slowly pardon these two people.

But the key thing is that these two people now have some strength.

The owner of the Cavaliers is not Bill Gates, and the amnesty of the players also has to pay the players' salaries!

For the capitalists, it is a crime to waste something useful.

He could be sure that there was absolutely no way the Cavaliers boss would pardon either O'Neal and Ben Wallace.

Thinking of this, James' eyes as he looked at Durant became more and more dazed.

He didn't understand why O'Neill and Ben Wallace were pit him.

But he knew that O'Neill and Ben Wallace could pit him once today, and they could pit him again and again in the future.

O'Neill and Ben Wallace, who were once a source of hope for him, are now a source of despair!

He's going to be delayed by O'Neill and Ben Wallace for three years!

Based on O'Neal and Ben Wallace's regular season performances, no team in the league would be willing to trade the Cavaliers for a pick-up.

Three years of his career were wasted by O'Neill and Ben Wallace!

If Yes wasted these three years with him, he would not be unwilling.

But after the fourth quarter of this game, how could he think that Yes was wasting time with him!

Previously, Yes drafted Durant with an eye-to-eye pick, and was considered by the league's media pundits to be a waste of his career.

But after this game, no one will have any criticism of Yes's selection in this year's draft.

Even if Durant really isn't the best option.

Yes also used his selflessness and stubbornness to train Durant into a very good choice!

It was he who personally whitewashed Yes's choice of Durant!

Thinking of this, James felt himself even more miserable.

He is now in the Knights with O'Neill and Ben Wallace in the Fall.

And yes, he's already groomed his junk young teammates!

Such a contrast made him suffocate in despair!

Call!

James closed his eyes in pain.

"LeBron, it's just a normal game, there are too many games like this in the NBA every season, and losing one game doesn't mean anything, LeBron, now we need to be optimistic."

When he opened his eyes, he looked at O'Neill, who was standing in front of him, smiling, and Ben Wallace, who was constantly nodding.

James felt his little heart and his liver flutter.

Optimism?

"LeBron, Big Ben and I will continue to be by your side, we can beat Yes one day!"

"Shaq is right, Shaq and I will dedicate the last of our energy and career to you, and we will beat Yes after all."

“……”

Give me the last of your energy and career?

If James had heard Ben Wallace and O'Neal say that before this game, he would have been very, very moved.

But now, he didn't feel anything moved, only the fear of watching the chainsaw!

"LeBron."

Just as James was growing more and more frightened in the face of smiling O'Neill and Ben Wallace, a cold, unfamiliar and familiar voice sounded behind him.

James looked back mechanically.

Yes?!

James looked surprised.

Yes is here to laugh at me?

James's face began to sink with surprise.

Yes didn't notice the change in James's expression now, and Yes now looked at the Cavaliers on the sidelines with a touched face as the fans began to slowly burst into applause again.

The Cavaliers were slaughtered by the SuperSonics at home.

After a brief period of uncomfortable silence, the Cavaliers fans on the scene once again became the strongest backing for the Cavaliers and James.

"LeBron, you're right, we have a group of partners behind us who will never leave us and give everything."

"I will not abandon my city, I will not abandon KD, Rajan, Paul, I will carry them with me, I hope that one day we can meet on the highest stage of this world with all the hope and pride on our backs."

"Let's do it together, the bravest warrior in my heart!"

Looking at Yes's outstretched fist, James touched it in a daze......

Looking at Yes's back smiling away, James looked at the smiling faces of O'Neill and Ben Wallace behind him...... Carrying them on your back?

James closed his eyes blankly.

"LeBron, you're crying?!"

"LeBron was moved to tears by Yes?!"

Ah, despair......
