Chapter 490: The Knights Have Changed Dramatically!
Shambaught had long since been abandoned by the Zen master and left the New York Knicks with J.R. Smith, and has been a Knight for more than a year, what can he know about the Knicks?
And coincidentally, James and several of their core members are also talking about the Knicks and Xie Chen, and Shambaugh came in at this time, has James' thoughts been leaked to these role players?
James didn't know if Shambaud knew what he was thinking, but if Shambaugh dared to break in so recklessly, he must know something, so James took Shambaugh's shoulders and led him out, he wanted to know what Shambaught was here for, and then consider whether to let him stay in this room.
James took Shambaugh out of the room, closed the door, and the two of them stood in the door and talked.
James asked Shambaugh: "You just said something about the New York Knicks, what makes you so nervous?" ”
Shambaugh did look very serious: "LeBron, you know what? Our first round of the playoffs will be against Shea and Anthony's New York Knicks! Haven't you noticed that the Knicks' record has been stagnant lately? They did it on purpose! They just want to meet us in the first round and get rid of us! ”
Listening to Shambaugh's panicked words, James was very calm, Shambaught was very strange, why James didn't react at all after knowing such shocking news.
James clapped his hand on Shambaugh's shoulder: "Who told you about this?" Kevin Love? Or Owen? Or what did you hear when we talked last night? ”
"What? You say you know, too? Shambaugh was even more shocked.
James frowned, how did Shambaugh find out about this problem since he wasn't eavesdropping on them, and it seemed to be very proven.
Shambaught hurriedly said, "No, my mother just called me to tell me." ”
"Your mother?" James was puzzled, "How could your mom know about the Knicks?" ”
That's when Shambaught began to explain: "Today, my mom happened to bump into Phil Jackson, the president of the Knicks, on her way to the mall. Of course my mom knew who he was, she always wanted me to play in New York, and even when I came here, she still didn't come with me in New York, and when Phil Jackson sent me and JR over, she was quite upset, and she wanted to talk to Phil several times. bumped into him in the face, and of course he refused to let him go. ”
"So my mom tugged at him in his suit and scolded him, asking him why he was going to send me away in the first place, calling him a stupid guy who couldn't use people, and Phil was desperate to leave, and didn't dare to say anything to my mom, but when he explained, he accidentally slipped out, and he said, 'Next month, when we go to Cleveland to play the first round of the playoffs with the Cavaliers.'" I'll personally apologize to Shambaut'. ”
"What? Phil, did he really say that? Is this what he said? James was shocked.
"yes, that's what he said, and my mom was weird at the time, and I kept telling her that we might play the Knicks in the Eastern Conference Finals and that we wouldn't be home in May, so she called me and told me about it. I took another look at the recent Knicks game and found that the Knicks were really suspicious of releasing water. So guess whether Xie is ...... Wants to hit you this way! Shambaught explained.
James let out a sneer: "Even you can see that the Knicks are deliberately losing the game, and our coach is still obsessed." Can such a stupid coach really bring us a championship? Shambaugh, would you like to face the Knicks in the first round? ”
When Shambaugh thought of Xie Chen and Anthony, he immediately felt a little empty: "Oh, of course not, although I have confidence in our team, but ...... If there is a case. It's too ugly to be out so early. LeBron, I know you want revenge, but we can't fall into the trap that Phil and Shea have entered, we have to avoid them! ”
James was now completely sure that Xie Chen was trying to blacken him, and he was too lazy to go back to the room to quarrel with Blatter. Blatter only has the first place in the East in his eyes, and this man will not willingly let the Cavaliers fall to second place in the East.
James said to Shambaugh: "You go to your room and tell Blatter that I'm not feeling well and I'm going back to Cleveland and can't play tomorrow." Also, no matter what happens next, stay calm and believe that everything is for the team, for the championship! ”
James left in a hurry after speaking, they are now in Miami, and they are going to play the Heat away tomorrow, Shambaugh looked at James who was going away quickly with a confused look, what is so important that he doesn't even play?
When James returned to Cleveland, the first thing he did was to go to David Griffin, the general manager of the Cavaliers, David Griffin had long wanted to fire Blatter, and this idea was there when he was an All-Star, especially after the big loss to the Warriors and the Spurs, he was even more skeptical of Blatter's coaching ability.
James feels that the current Cavaliers can't withstand such a big shock, they are going to win the championship this season, so everything must be stable and winning, and it is not trivial to change a head coach, in case the new coach can't help the Cavaliers, what should I do then?
Of course, James doesn't like Blatter either, and he also wants to fire this NBA rookie coach, but James hopes that former Warriors coach Mark Jackson will replace Blatter to coach the Cavaliers, because Mark Jackson signed James's agency, but General Manager David Griffin disagreed, so James didn't agree with David Griffin to fire Blatter, either use my people or don't fire them, but now, James has to compromise, use anyone, and get this stupid person who doesn't obey me first!
James went directly to David Griffin's house late at night, disturbing a beautiful event for David Griffin, and the general manager's wife didn't pour James a glass of water and looked at James with resentful eyes.
James was in no mood to care about this, so he directly told David Griffin what he meant.
David Griffin had long had the intention of firing Blatter to support Tyronn Lue to take the position, and when he heard that James was so angry that he had to let Blatter go out of class, he didn't say anything: "I didn't expect that this kid Xie has such a vicious and ruthless heart at such a young age, and you haven't done anything to him." Why does he have to black eight you? Last year he snatched our championship, and this year he beat you to win the slam dunk contest, so it's us who should be angry! ”
David Griffin sighed: "Since Blatter only cares about the aura of the first coach in the East, then I have to let him go to class, but Mark Jackson is not suitable to take over, I want assistant coach Tyronn Lue to take it first." What do you think? ”
Tyronn Lue fully supported James' plan to lose, so James agreed immediately.
The next day, the whole league received an amazing message!
The Cavaliers changed dramatically overnight, and Cavaliers head coach David Blatter, out of class!
At the end of the regular season, such a big thing happened that really shocked the entire league! All the fans who follow the NBA can't believe that this is true, and they can't help but ask, why? Why was Blatter fired?
Blatter has had a very good run of results since he became head coach of the Cavaliers. Last season, the Cavaliers led the team to the Finals despite being plagued by injuries, and this season, it is still the No. 1 team in the East so far, and oh my God, the head coach of the No. 1 team in the East has never been fired.
Blatter became the second team to lead the team to the Finals the previous season after Gene Shue and Renscott, and then left the next season. There are only three in the entire history of the NBA, and Scott was fired because he had a winning percentage of less than 50 percent before All-Star Weekend. But the Cavaliers are different, the Cavaliers are the first in the East, and Blatter is doing well.
After the news broke, Israeli fans couldn't sit still at first, and they crusaded against the Cavaliers, and even pointed the finger at James. Some fans cursed James that he would never win the championship again.
David Blatter led Maccabi Tel Aviv to the UEFA Basketball League championship and served as the head coach of the Israeli national team, so the Israeli fans are very supportive of him.
EVEN, EVEN THE HEAT'S SMALL BOSS KATZ CAME TO JOIN IN THE FUN, SAYING, "JAMES WANTS TO DO THE SAME TO SPO." But failed. ”
The meaning of the words is obviously that it is because of James that Blatter will be dismissed, but this KATZ's words are not credible, and he is also a businessman from Israel, and the big boss of the Heat, Alison, has always wanted to buy his shares, but this guy does not sell.
Suddenly, James and the Cavaliers were thrust to the forefront.
When such a major event happened in the league, the Knicks naturally knew about it.
"I didn't expect one of my plans to lead to such a major change within the knights! Phil, you must have known in advance, didn't you? That's why we 'try our best to lose the game'. Xie Chen, Phil Jackson, and Anthony got together to talk about it, and Xie Chen had been amazed for a long time.
Xie Chen would never have thought that one of his decisions would have such a big impact on James and the Cavaliers, he just wanted to try his best to avoid the Chicago Bulls and the Miami Heat, he didn't have to face James, he was not stupid and had no grudge against James, why did he do this? Why would James think that Xie Chen wanted to black eight them?
Phil Jackson smiled kindly, although everyone knew that this was definitely not a kind and loving old man, Blatter would be fired at this juncture, and there must be Phil Jackson's push.
Phil smiled: "I heard some rumors in advance, and then passed on some news appropriately, anyway, they have proven that Blatter can't lead the Cavaliers to win the championship, so it's better to end this unpleasant relationship early." ”
Anthony is an upright person, although he envies everything James has achieved, but he still feels a little sorry for James, Anthony said: "It's a pity that the newly appointed Tyronn Lue can't lead the Cavaliers to win the championship, there have always been people who say that Blatter's employment (JR Smith and Shambaugh) is better than you, and there will be no more people now, of course, I'm happy to see Blatter get out of class, the Cavaliers' chaos is a chance for our Knicks, if they meet in the playoffs, I believe the chances of winning are greater." ”
Xie Chen nodded, Tyronn Lu only entered the coaching industry in 09, and he was known as the background emperor under Iverson's legs, and some people still mentioned it when they saw Tyronn Lu: "Look, this is the guy who was crossed by Iverson." ”
After that, however, he and Iverson became good friends.
Tyronn Lue was an assistant coach with the Clippers before, and was poached by the Cavaliers as the chief assistant coach last year, and he has no experience as a head coach, and now let him take office, and the playoffs will be in the playoffs next month, I believe everyone doubts whether he can do this job, and the Cavaliers he leads, but the team that is bound to win the championship this year!
"Tyronn Lue is indeed a little easier to deal with than Blatter, if I meet the Cavaliers in the playoffs this year, it is estimated that I will be targeted to death, and everyone must hate me to death now, thinking that I want to black eight them, James must be eager to eat me." Xie Chen really wants to say, I don't want to carry this black cauldron!
Anthony patted Xie Chen on the shoulder: "Do you want me to call LeBron to make it clear?" ”
"Don't." Phil Jackson, who spoke, "Just let him think that we have the idea and the intentions of Black Eight, it's okay, and see what they're going to do next, if they let the Raptors be a substitute for the dead in order to avoid us, it would be fun." It's a pity that the fans from the outside world who don't know the truth don't know what kind of game it is now, and if they can understand, it will be even more interesting. ”
What Phil Jackson means is that people are looking forward to the new Tyronn Lue to see what he's capable of and if he can lead the team to victory, and the reality is that Tyronn Lue is now tasked with making the Cavaliers lose.
Sure enough, in Tyronn Lue's first game in office, he played the Miami Heat away and was beaten by the Heat by more than 20 points, giving the Heat a victory.
Fans began to criticize Tyronn Lue for not being able to do it, far inferior to Blatter, did the general manager of the Cavaliers have a bad head and actually fired the head coach who helped them get the first place in the East? There's no reason for that!
However, in any case, Blatter's dismissal has become an unchangeable fact, and Blatter himself did not say anything about it.
However, when Blatter left, he kept reading Xie Chen's name, and he felt that if it wasn't for Xie Chen, he wouldn't have been fired.
Xie Chen was also very guilty about Blatter, no matter what, it was because of his own plan that he was fired, so Xie Chen found his contact information and wanted to express his condolences, but he didn't appreciate it at all.
"I've locked the Cavaliers and your Knicks' baskets, I've taken the keys, goodbye!"
Blatter called again.
"None of you want to win this season! Spurs are 50 times stronger than you! Warriors are 100 times stronger than you!! "The shouting was hoarse. (To be continued.) )
PS: It's the New Year soon, and I'm asking for a monthly pass in the new month!
