has been the chef of the Eastern Army every year, but now he is suddenly squeezed to fight it, which is a psychological gap.

You must know that James can squeeze the former boss of the Heat team Wade out of Miami, but now the position of the boss in the East has been snatched by a person who suddenly appeared.

The depression in his heart can be imagined.

What makes James even more anxious is that since Qian Chen was born, his team has calculated in detail for him, and his personal business value has begun to decline significantly.

To put it mildly, the total number of kitchen fans in the league is now growing slowly, Qian Chen has more fans, he James has fewer fans, and with fewer fans, he will make less money.

Although in the first game, James's mind had already sensed that Qian Chen's future was very likely to have a huge impact on his status, but he didn't expect this time to be so much earlier.

A few years ago, the league was Kobe's world, and it was finally his turn, and now a Qian Chen suddenly appeared.

This is completely out of his life.

Just thinking about it, James is a little autistic.

While James was sitting alone in the corner in a daze, a long arm wrapped its arms around James's shoulders from behind.

"Hey, bro, it's just an exhibition game, you're the best in my opinion!"

Wade put his arm around James' shoulders and comforted.

"Thanks, buddy."

With the comfort of his brother, James's mood improved significantly.

The two reached out and slapped their hands.

But soon Wade's expression turned serious.

"Don't worry about that, our only goal this year is to win the championship, you know, LeBron."

James nodded solemnly, too.

"I know, brother."

This is the second year that they have been together, and they can no longer use the run-in as an excuse.

With the Heat's lineup, not winning the championship is a failure. The price of the failure is that the Heat's current roster is in danger of disbanding.

So they're under a lot of pressure.

After the All-Star break, the final stage of the season began.

Teams aspiring to make the playoffs or even championships have become more tense and train more often.

And the teams that have basically given up the playoffs are starting to fight for a good pick in next year's draft.

The alliance as a whole is deeply polarized. And since the beginning of the millennium, it has maintained a situation where the west is strong and the east is weak.

The Cavaliers are not as competitive as the West, where the only strong teams in the East are the Boston Celtics, the Orlando Magic, the Heat, who make up the Big Three, and the Cavaliers, who have just risen this year.

After a fierce battle, the regular season ended in mid-April.

After a rough patch, the Cavaliers are in third place in the East with a 44-14 record.

However, this result is placed in the West, but it has just crossed the threshold of the playoffs.

The Utah Jazz, who finished eighth in the West, also happened to be 44-14.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the West is strong and the East is weak.

The Eastern Conference rankings from high to low are the Heat, Celtics, Cavaliers, Hawks, Pacers, Magic, Knicks, and 76ers.

In the West, the Spurs, Thunder, Lakers, Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks, and Jazz are in the Western standings.

The NCA schedule is that the East and West will each determine the division champion, and then the East and West champions will face off to determine this year's championship.

Specifically, according to the regular season results, the first pair in the East is the eighth pair in the East, the second pair is the seventh, and so on.

Then the winner of the first vs. eighth vs. the winner of the fourth vs. fifth face.

This schedule is quite unfriendly to the Cavaliers.

First they will collide with the Orlando Magic, the traditional powerhouse in the East, and then they will likely meet the traditional giants with the most titles in the history of the NCA League, the Boston Lobsters, ahem, and the Boston Celtics in the division semifinals.

Even with a hard-fought win over the Celtics, the Miami Heat will be waiting for them in the division finals.

On the other hand, the Heat's schedule is much easier.

The first opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers, a 10,000-year-old team after Iverson's retirement.

Either the Atlanta Hawks or the Indiana Pacers were either strong.

Even if the Cavaliers defeated the Big Three Heat with great difficulty, there are still Western giants waiting for them on the championship finals stage.

So Cavaliers fans are very forgiving.

After all, this year is Qian Chen's first year, and he is still young. For a team at the bottom to make the playoffs is a remarkable, even terrifying, performance.

Even the Cavaliers management has only set a small goal, break through the first round of the playoffs, and then try to trade Rose next year, correct Qianchen, and trade a reliable helper to officially join the championship race. It's a little exciting to think about.

The whole team seemed very relaxed, but Qian Chen did not.

To put it bluntly, it is the pursuit of difference.

Those who are accustomed to tasting the wine of victory, and then taste the bitter wine of defeat, the taste is absolutely difficult to swallow.

The Cavaliers have been experiencing defeats, and even in the most glorious moments of the little emperor's leadership, they fell one step away from the championship.

So the Cavaliers are used to losing from top to bottom.

But Qian Chen is different, victory has been engraved in his bones, even if there is no systematic task, he will definitely do his best for the championship.

Not for money, not for fame, not for glory, just for victory!

- Won the NCA championship this season.

- Success Reward: 50 Free Talent Points! A golden random talent! A golden random cooking skill! A piece of golden random kitchenware!

This reward is second only to Emilia's recruitment mission. This means that the difficulty of winning the championship this time is second only to the orange mission!

And this time, he couldn't use the scene for help!

This task is not a problem with Qian Chen's own strength, the key is still in his teammates.

Qian Chen's performance is basically as stable as POI, but his teammates are different.

At the end of the day, the NCA game is a team game.

Unless Qian Chen can beat the other four by himself, failure is inevitable.

Qian Chen thought about it, and inserted the 'perfect second master' who had just been plundered from Pippen into Owen.

Ross is too stable, and there is no room for improvement after a major injury, and Susan, as a pastry chef, is not strong in the ability to control the situation of the battle.

So Qian Chen finally decided to use this rare talent on Owen.

Owen is the one with the most room for improvement in the current team, and he is also his little brother, so Qian Chen will pull him a hand.

Best of all, this talent is detachable after installation.

So Owen, who was pinned on by Qian Chen, fell into bad luck.

Qian Chen dragged him every day and urged him to practice.

Seeing that the rest of his teammates could prepare to leave every day, Owen wanted to cry without tears.

After Qian Chen checked Owen's attributes through the system, he found that after installing Owen's 'Perfect Second Master' talent, his progress speed had indeed been greatly accelerated.
