On July 12, U.S. time, the well-known sports weekly "Sports Illustrated" published James's news on its official website: I will return to Cleveland.

The article "I Want to Go Home" by journalist Jenkins was published: "Before no one cared where I played, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio......"

At the beginning of the article, it is written that it reviews James's mental journey through James's tone and in relatively simple and simple language.

After all, high school students, if you write too flashy and make it look like Fitzgerald's Gatsby, others will see at a glance that this is ghostwriting.

At the end of the article, it was briefly written: "I am ready to take on this challenge. I'm going home. ”

As soon as this article came out, where did James go, the dust finally settled, go home!

The whole city of Cleveland rejoices, their former king has finally returned!

Of course, behind everything there is no superficial article that looks so warm and relaxed.

Before making his decision, James single-handedly stirred up the entire free market.

He considered other teams, met with Pat Riley in Las Vegas, and put pressure on the Cavaliers and Gilbert.

James' team has also conducted a thorough assessment of James' contract issues to help him make the best choice.

James has feelings for the Cavaliers and Cleveland, but feelings aren't the only factor in his decision, and even the most important factor isn't particularly certain.

And the Cavaliers have carried out a flash move in the salary space early, in order to be able to use the space to eat James and Li Liang.

However, because of Li Liang's existence, the Cavaliers and Gilbert have hardened a lot in the face of James' pressure.

James only wants to sign a two-year contract, and like Li Liang, the second year is a player option.

But the Cavaliers insisted that the second year be a team option.

The James team only wants to commit to one year, while the Cavaliers want to commit to two years.

Because the knights know that Li Liang will most likely not be able to keep it in the second year, if he can't keep James again, will this combination be cool for a year?

Without that reasoning, the Cavaliers need James to make a longer-term commitment.

Under the influence of Li Liang, James finally compromised, vetoed the advice put forward by his team, and decided to accept a contract with a two-year, second-year team option.

It was also a major win for the Cavaliers, who could take advantage of James a little.

James's team can't help it, they all say that the king is back, but there is an extra emperor in front of him......

……

When James announced his return to the Cavaliers, Li Liang was training hard in Miami.

Alexander's training camp has a lot of NBA star customers, and his brand is getting louder and louder, especially Li Liang often comes over, adding a lot of glory to Alexander.

Tyson Chandler, Kevin Durant, Chandler Parsons and others are all doing their workouts with him — of course, during the peak of summer training, and they're all on vacation.

Only Li Liang, the winner of the championship, FMVP, the first person last season, has already been training intensively here in Alexandria early.

What the world is most afraid of is talented people who work harder than you.

People who are more afraid of the system still work harder than you.

Alexander sighed that Li Liang's achievements in a short period of time were really amazing.

Two years ago, when Li Liang had not yet entered the NBA, Alexander still remembered that he was just a tall Asian young man with mediocre physical fitness.

Two years have passed, and he has been full of honors, and at the same time, his physical fitness has reached a rather impressive level.

He has a strong and well-proportioned body, strong muscles, and excellent coordination, flexibility, explosiveness, and endurance.

Alexander was amazed, how did Li Liang's body practice?

For things like physical fitness, seven points are destined, and three points depend on hard work.

Many talented people just don't practice, just eating is a tendon meat.

Li Liang's kind is simply a miracle.

But think about the miracles he's created, and don't care about that.

When he arrived at Alexander, Li Liang trained his body intensively.

What puzzled Alexander was that Li Liang's focus on strengthening this time was the buttocks.

You're an outsider, super three-upper, why do you want to boil your ass?

Of course, the professional point should be called the buttock muscles.

Li Liang's explanation is simple, "Because I want to practice my interior offensive skills." ”

Alexander reminded Li Liang that you can't chew too much, you have achieved great success relying on your own style of play, why should you take an outdated path?

Two years ago, in order to improve his back ability, James also carried out special training to improve his back and hip muscles here in Alexander.

In 12 years, he relied on his back to help the Heat win the championship.

But in the past two years, as the three-point shot has become more and more powerful, James has lost weight, and the improvement of his back has also stopped, just as a part of the skill package, not a key skill.

Li Liang, as the initiator of the popularization and explosion of three-point power, had to practice the back-to-back technique, which puzzled Alexander.

Not to mention that the back is gradually being eliminated by the times, it is very difficult to practice.

Even if James is like this, he has been practicing for a few years, but he has achieved a little success.

Playing with your back to the basket is inherently difficult, requiring a lot of talent and a lot of time to practice.

Alexander reminded Li Liang twice, but Li Liang still insisted, and Alexander didn't say anything.

Practice your ass, practice your ass!

In Miami, Li Liang underwent two weeks of intensive training to strengthen his butt.

During the day he trains here in Alexandria, and when he returns to the hotel in the evening, he follows Tom Heinsohn in the system to practice the back-to-back positioning technique.

Heinsohn, an old smoking gun, is still very solid in technology.

Although basketball technology has been continuously improving from the 50s to the present day, and the skills of later generations are always better than those of their predecessors, there are a few technical moves that have either stagnated or disappeared.

In Heinsohn's time, there was no three-point line on the basketball court, and the competition under the basket was much fiercer than it is now.

At the same time, because the dribbling technique is immature and the walking rules are severe, the basket card position is very important, and a large number of off-ball technical movements are used.

At that time, the physical fitness of players was not as good as it is now, but their movements were generally more brutal and ferocious, and they had to engage in hand-to-hand combat in order to grab an inch of space under the basket.

Hain Thorne not only fought hand-to-hand, but also burned Li Liang with a cigarette to remind him to control his movements.

After this painful torture, Li Liang's ability value in the back card position quickly soared from 15 points to 40 points.

In this way, the mission of Tom Heinsohn's smoking gun is completed, and Li Liang also gets a special item [Tom Heinsohn's Cigarette]: a puff that will make you brave the next time you get stuck in the slot.

What a mess!

For Li Liang, the ability to card under the basket at 40 points is still far from enough, at least it must be increased to 60 points.

So he continued to practice deeply in the system while training with Alexander, and then he found out that it was Anthony Mason who was waiting for him behind Tom Heinsohn......

Mason......

Li Liang saw his arms and buttocks at the training ground, and he was a little panicked.

"Well, this, let's take it slowly, I want to take a break and go to Cleveland to sign a contract."

Li Liang exited the system.

At this time, Zhu Shu sent a message telling Li Liang that James was ready to officially sign with the Cavaliers, and he hoped to sign with Li Liang, along with Julius Randle.

The king doesn't see the king, and now we finally have to meet.

So, Li Liang packed his bags, said goodbye to Alexander, ended his two-week training, and flew to his next stop, Cleveland.

The air in the countryside should be relatively fresh, and you can watch the stars with Zhu Shu at night.
