Chapter 18: Night Talk

When the battle between the Timberwolves and the Cavaliers came to an end, the result of the Cavaliers' upset defeat stunned countless people.

After failing to hit the championship last year, the little emperor has become more and more versatile after hard training this summer, and everyone is looking forward to a stunning season in the new season.

However, the Cavaliers' big loss to the Timberwolves on the road surprised experts across the United States, and counting the Cavaliers' loss to the Celtics two days ago, the Cavaliers of the Little Emperor have suffered two consecutive defeats.

Suffering such a failure at the beginning of the new season undoubtedly cast a shadow on the little emperor's championship dream.

When the Cavaliers' interior encountered the Monster that exploded in the season last season, the fragile interior defense was fiercely torn apart by the Monster, and the entire defense line was shattered by the impact.

To be honest, Warcraft's offense is not outstanding, as the league's No. 1 center today, his dominance is based on his defense, as a center in the league with its own defensive system, Warcraft Howard's defensive ability is undoubtedly extremely good, anyone who wants to break through into the basket to attack, has to face that pair of big hands that cover the sky.

But Warcraft is not all without weaknesses, when his defense can't defend against the opponent, then what awaits Warcraft will be a situation that will be blown up, because Warcraft's offensive means are not excellent.

This example is a reason why every time the rocket fights with the magic, Yao Ming will always play a brilliant performance, Yao Ming's soft touch and Shanghai dance steps are enough to make the monster play can't find the north.

But there was no presence in the Cavaliers' lineup last season that could blow Howard out, and the little emperor could only sigh in the face of the suffocating pressure in the restricted area.

This season, in order to keep James, the Cavaliers brought in the aging shark O'Neal from the Phoenix Suns, hoping that this old man with infinite scenery can give James the confidence to stay.

The aging sharks did not play in the battle with the Timberwolves due to injury, and after this game, James once again deeply realized the importance of helpers!

As time in the league goes by, he has felt the desire for a championship more and more, Jordan has not won a championship for seven years, Kobe Bryant has suppressed that desire for many years after leaving O'Neal, he is not willing to wait so long!

When he entered the league in 03, countless people praised his unlimited potential, and Nike even directly gave him a big contract of nearly 100 million dollars when he was a rookie, and everyone thought that he was the pride of the sky and would become a superstar in the league.

As his years in the league grew, he became more and more versatile, training harder, and little by little he began to get closer to the image of the knights in the dreams of the experts.

However, years without a crown made him start to get anxious!

How long has it been, if there is no championship this season, he will also taste Jordan's seven years without a championship!

But Cleveland isn't a big city like Chicago, and he doesn't see any sign of reinforcements in the Cavaliers' management.

Take a look at the teammates over the years, Big Z, Mo Williams...... Year after year of drafting, waiting for year after year of reinforcements, in exchange for these teammates, James gradually had the idea of escaping the city!

If he doesn't win a championship this season, he should probably look for a team with the potential to compete for a championship and be willing to recruit him as a central player!

He may have to wait another seven years to stay in Cleveland, but he won't wait for his "Pippen"!

Late at night, James sat alone in his Cleveland villa, took out his mobile phone, stared at the bright roster of players on the phone screen, he stared at a name for a long time, and he stretched out his thick index finger to click on the name.

After waiting for a long time, the phone was connected, and a deep voice came from the other end of the phone:

"LeBron, is there something wrong with me so late?"

LeBron was silent and didn't speak.

There was silence for a long time, and the other end of the phone shouted again.

"Chris, what do you think of this year's rookie Bruce Lee?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Chris Paul's eyes on the other end of the phone, but he didn't expect LeBron James to call specifically for this reason, after thinking about it, he still held the phone and said:

"I haven't played against Bruce Lee, but I've seen the video of his game, and this rookie is very unusual, he's very unusual compared to this year's rookie, his style of play has matured, and he learned the proper way to play as a point guard in three years in the NCAA."

"I've watched his game carefully, and his stats won't be the best of the players in the game, but he's very efficient on the court, and as long as the basketball is in his hands, the team's offense will be extremely fluid."

"Even if it's only 7 per game. 3 assists, but his role on the field is not reflected by simple statistics, I see Chauncey's shadow in him! ”

Paul was a little silent after speaking, and there was a little bit of a bad feeling in his heart, as he continued to improve, he gradually began to have the trend of the league's first point guard, although Nash is still young, but more people began to put the title of the league's first point guard on his head, this is not a false name, many people understand that Paul has a strength!

But Paul said such a thing himself, which still surprised LeBron James, who is Chauncey?

The soul of the 03-04 Pistons championship that year, the former FMVP, many people underestimated the grassroots FMVP point guard, when Chauncey Billups transferred to the Denver Plateau two years ago, many people were laughing at the management of the Nuggets, after the failure of Iverson and Anthony's backcourt golden double gun combination, they once again tried to form a new backcourt golden double gun!

But when Chauncey Billups brought Carmelo Anthony, a longtime first-round playoff player, to the floor of the Western Conference Finals, everyone felt the hidden power of the grassroots FMVP.

Could Bruce Lee also be a point guard like Chauncey Billups?

LeBron James couldn't believe it, he said in a deep voice: "Chris, you are the number one point guard in the league today, this Chinese rookie has been in the limelight too much recently, you need to suppress him well, so that he understands how to face the seniors in this league!" ”

When Paul heard this, he immediately understood LeBron James's intentions, and he smiled and said: "Don't worry, LeBron, I won't keep my hand if I meet him, and I haven't met such a strong rookie for a long time!" ”

"And, in two days he'll be facing Stephen's Immortals, and Stephen will tell the rookie what the league's top point guard is!"

LeBron James smiled with satisfaction, Nash's strength he deeply understands, although this thin Canadian is no longer young, but he still has the ability to change the game!

Because his name is Stephen Nash - a two-time MVP winner!
