In the finals, the Timberwolves from the West faced the Cavaliers from the East. Li Qiang and his old nemesis, old friend LeBron, met again.

Think back then, exactly 8 years ago. At that time, Li Qiang was just a kid who had just graduated from high school and hurriedly dropped out of school to pursue his basketball dream in the United States. And LeBron has been sought after as the first person in the league.

However, the little emperor does have his arrogance and strength. Yes, not many people use this title anymore. The emperor is no longer small. And he betrayed the knights who loved him deeply, and he was no longer worthy of the title of emperor.

At that time, I had just won the championship of the National High School League, and I felt that the world was so big that I could roam. At that time, the young and vigorous self thought that the CBA had no opponents of its own except Yao Ming, so he came to the United States full of ambitions and tried to set foot in the NBA, the basketball temple. But I didn't expect to be turned away because of my age!

I couldn't swallow this breath and still participated in the NCAA league. In the summer before that, he also participated in Nike's summer training camp and met his fateful opponent - LeBron. James.

Li Qiang still remembers the results of the two heads-up that year. Yes, although he was invincible in the training camp, he was completely defeated in the heads-up. At that time, his own template was actually this front-guard swing man. And he lost to his own template.

At that time, his strength was no longer inferior to him. But in terms of playing experience and technique, he was beaten to the fullest.

At that time, Li Qiang still remembered the little emperor's relaxed expression after throwing down the sentence "He is much better than when I was my age", patted his ass and left.

And what Li Qiang wants to tell him in his heart is that although I am still a few years younger than you, I want to prove that I am not worse than you!

So in the next year, Li Qiang worked hard in the NCAA to practice and play, and finally improved his strength. Just stepped into the NBA, and in the Lakers' intra-team heads-up game, he blew up his idol Kobe. At that time, I was much better than I was a year ago.

At that time, he had a confrontation with LeBron shortly after the start of the season, and he had far surpassed him in strength at that time, which caused him a lot of trouble. Although the number of alignments is not much, it does not fall behind at all every time.

Li Qiang still remembers his excitement at that time. myself, finally beyond their own template.

After that, Li Qiang's cultivation path stepped into the formal, whether it was the cultivation of the Cultivation Technique to cultivate the physical strength of running immortal, or the Pulse Expansion Technique and the Jiuyang Divine Skill. Every breakthrough in cultivation has raised one's strength to a big level.

In his third or fourth year in the NBA, Li Qiang's Timberwolves and the Heat, which have a big three, met in the Finals for two consecutive years. Like LeBron's nemesis, Li Qiang has successively taken away the championship that should have belonged to the Heat.

From the fifth year onwards, all this became a suspense-free affair. Whether LeBron continues to stay with the Heat to form a Big Three or return to the Cavaliers, the Timberwolves led by Li Qiang will always become a hurdle for him to win the championship.

Yes, the essay topic for one year in the Shanghai college entrance examination is called "Crossing the Hurdle". And Li Qiang has become the one that LeBron can't cross.

Today, the aging LeBron is 32 years old and about to pass the peak of his career. And he is only 25 years old, and there are still good years waiting for him.

On the other hand, LeBron has reached the Finals six times, twice with the Cavaliers, and four times with the Heat, but he can't win the championship anyway. Except for the first time caused by Spurs, the last five times were all because of Li Qiang!

Li Qiang has become a stumbling block on LeBron's road to the championship and a lingering nightmare every night.

Maybe one day, when people are surprised to find that LeBron is old, they will remember that he is actually worthy of the title of "uncrowned king".
