"Don't get me wrong, LeBron doesn't know, it's just something I want to say." Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Paul realized that he had misunderstood, and immediately opened his mouth to explain.

Tang Tian nodded to signal that he understood.

"I think coach you can increase LeBron's tactical position on the team and make him the biggest nucleus of the Cavaliers' Big Three." Paul said with a smile.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Paul to say such a thing.

He was a little angry and a little funny.

At the end of last season, James mentioned this to him, and now he has changed his agent?

"That's what LeBron meant?" He looked at Paul faintly.

"No, coach, I said it before, it's my personal opinion." Paul continued to keep his smile on his face.

After Paul finished speaking, Tang Tian's face changed suddenly.

"It's not something you should be in charge of." He pointed to Paul and finished speaking, ignoring the latter's reaction, and went straight out of the study.

Are you kidding!

An agent actually privately asked him to increase the tactical status of his players, is he really a puppet coach!

"Taylor, let's go."

Seeing Tang Tian's bad face, Swift knew that he was in a bad mood, so he reached out and hugged Ying Short.

Ying Short also felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, although he reluctantly looked back at the direction of Mu Ying Short, but he didn't struggle.

"Damn it!"

After Tang Tian and Swift left for a while, Paul slammed the table angrily.

"What's wrong?" Coming out of Paul's house, Swift asked.

"It's fine." Tang Tian put aside what he had just done and said with a smile, "Let's go back quickly, Auntie's dishes should be ready soon." ”

Swift nodded, Tang Tian didn't want to say it, because she didn't want to spoil the festive atmosphere of Christmas, and she didn't need to dig deeper.

The Rich Paul affair was just a Christmas episode.

Eating Christmas dinner, making wishes, inviting the choir, the whole holiday atmosphere is still very strong.

At the end of Christmas, Tang Tianliu's uncle and aunt lived at home for a period of time, and they were also used to accompany Hathaway.

The Cavaliers have a Christmas game against old rivals the Lakers.

The Lakers still maintain the core roster of previous seasons, and the biggest move in the offseason was to send away Odom and trade Barnes.

In total, the two teams are rivals, but because they are in different divisions, they are one of the few partners.

Kobe Bryant is still the core of this Lakers team, and his desire to win has not decreased because of age, but has become stronger because he has not made the playoffs for several years in a row.

It was also under his strong performance that the Lakers and the Cavaliers tied the game at 55 in the first half.

In addition to Kobe Bryant's excellent performance, it is also clear that James is not playing well.

The shooting percentage of 5 of 11 shots is not bad, but the problem is that many of them are strong attacks outside of tactics, and the Cavaliers' original layered offense has turned into a solo fight.

In his previous life, Kerr was always criticized by fans for not letting Curry go it alone and always letting him share the ball and play the whole.

A very simple logic, a problem that can be solved with the individual ability of the star, why do you have to run tactics?

But in fact, the integrity of a championship team is very important, and it is very easy to be targeted if you rely on individuals alone, and it is difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of other players, which is very disadvantageous in a long regular season.

Coming back in the second half, James' desire to attack was still strong, but the Cavaliers still couldn't pull away.

In the end, Bryant scored six points in a row before the end of the game and scored 42 points in the game to help the Lakers narrowly defeat the Cavaliers 108-105.

The Cavaliers' 13-game winning streak also came to an abrupt end.

James shot 14-of-32 from the field, scoring 38 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, but the role players other than the Big Three shot 2-of-10 were obviously not normal.

After the game, Tang Tian originally wanted to talk to James, but when he returned to the locker room, he found that James left without taking a shower.

I asked other people, and I don't know what the reason is.

Tang Tian frowned slightly, he felt a hint that something was not quite right.

Over the next week, James continued to shoot a lot, and the Cavaliers had a 2-1 record.

James averaged 36.6 points, 9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game in the past three games, and the statistics were quite gorgeous, successfully squeezing out Paul to become the best of the week in the new week.

Because in the weak East, the record is not visible, but the fans can more or less feel that the game of this Cavaliers team is far from being as easy as the start of the game.

On January 2, 2012, the Cavaliers played back-to-back games against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs' GDP is getting stronger, and with the well-being of the selected Leonard, their 13-3 record so far this season is no worse than that of the Cavaliers.

James continued to shoot high, but he didn't feel good tonight, hitting just two of his first nine shots.

This point was caught by Popovich, and the score was pulled apart little by little with targeted defense and layered offense.

Tang Tian couldn't sit still, and shouted at James twice during the pause.

Coming back in the second half, James regained his touch, but he was still outside the tactical system, and the Cavaliers struggled to chase the points to no avail, trailing the Spurs by 15 points in the third quarter.

Tang Tian finally had enough, and directly pressed James to the bench in the fourth quarter.

The Cavaliers fought back frantically in the fourth quarter under the leadership of Paul and Yao Ming, and once forced the score to 5 points, but Ginobili's two consecutive three-pointers at the critical moment still allowed the Spurs to win the final victory.

After 13 consecutive wins, 2 wins and 2 losses in the last 4 games, the Cavaliers have used their bloody experience to illustrate the importance of priority between individual stars and team groups.

The day after the end of the game, Tang Tian finally became angry.

The ability of top stars is indeed much better than ordinary players, but in the previous life, even the Heat team, when they first combined, lost three in a row and lost four in a row, and it was only after the big three made sacrifices that they began to gradually enter the winning mode.

After all, the basketball game is 5 people, and there are 48 minutes in the whole game, and the stars can establish an advantage, but no matter what level of star, it is impossible to win easily after leaving the team.

"Kathy, LeBron is here and called him to my office!" As soon as he arrived at the office that day, Tang Tian was furious.

After more than half an hour, Casey knocked on the door and came in, but James was not followed by him.

"Everyone else has arrived, LeBron doesn't know why he hasn't come yet, and I didn't get through when I called his personal number." Casey said with a frown.

"Didn't come?" Tang Tian was stunned for a moment.

Just then, Ryan, the team's chief team doctor, walked in.

He glanced at Casey, then at Tang Tian.

"I just got a call from Rich Paul."
