In the Cavaliers' locker room, reporters had just left, and the noise they had brought still seemed to be there, with a dozen players and coaches staying inside, still with impatient expressions on their faces.

James' expression was different, his face was blank and merciless, like a statue.

The reporters' questions are vivid, and the little emperor sat on the chair in a daze, with his back to the wardrobe, recalling the reporters' questions:

"LeBron, this is your last game in Oakland, will it be your last game of the season?"

"The Warriors have won three games, and it only takes one for them to take the championship, how do you feel about that?"

"In the past games, the Warriors have dominated the interior, do you think that's your holehole?"

"LeBron, what are your plans for next season? I've heard that the Bulls and Knicks have started to engage with you privately, what are your options? ”

The Cavaliers won just one of the four games in the Finals, and yes, they lost again in the last game, and the Warriors were invincible at home, with Chamberlain sweeping 44 points and 20 rebounds, and he roamed the court to dissolve the Cavaliers' carefully coordinated interior lineup.

O'Neill is too old, his age, his weight, his style of play, he should retire to be a commentator, instead of continuing to stay on the court and fight against Chamberlain.

The first and second games were okay, O'Neal had plenty of rest before, and he still had the body to wrestle with Chamberlain, but from the third meeting, the big shark was too much to lose, and in the last game, he finally collapsed.

In the third game, the Cavaliers fought back at the last minute and chased the score to single digits again.

As a result, Nelson Sr. asked for a timeout, and the two sides fought again two minutes later, and Chamberlain's pressure on Vallejo was a hook; Fifteen seconds later, on the defensive end, when James cut inside and was about to make a layup, Chamberlain sent another block!

And just like that, the Cavaliers' last chance to counter was gone, and the Warriors defended their first home court.

Then, soon, the Warriors started their second home defense game.

In Game 4, the shape went in a more favorable direction for the Warriors.

Chamberlain used energetic running, gorgeous and flexible footsteps and the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers to completely blow up the big shark, in the face of Chamberlain's 40+20, O'Neal only got 12 points, 8 rebounds, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, he ate six fouls and went off, leaving James alone on the court.

From that moment on, James was determined to leave Cleveland for the summer!

During the regular season, James was only occasionally disappointed with O'Neal, Xiao Mo, and Jamison, but in the finals, he was completely disappointed.

O'Neill's age is the biggest problem, and he will be even older next season; Xiao Mo's personal ability is good enough, but this guy doesn't like to pass, and he is a playmaking guard, James has to spend more body and energy on lineup organization, which he can't bear.

What drove him even more crazy was Jamison's sudden slump.

After leaving the Wizards, Jamison suddenly went from All-Star forward to parallel import, losing himself with the Cavaliers, losing his nimble posture and accurate shooting.

In the most crucial game of the Finals, reporters did not focus on James' views on the Cavaliers' reinforcements next season, but asked him which team he would go to.

James chose to remain silent at this point, and he blocked the reporters' mouths with a fluttering sentence of 'no questions related to the game will not be answered', his gesture made the Cavaliers uniform team more and more worried, and also made the Cavaliers players lose their last belief in fighting.

Now the most frightened is the Cavaliers' uniform team and his boss, they must now regret why James was signed to a three-year contract instead of a five-year contract!

Of course, no one expected that three years later, James had not won the championship, and according to the expectations of fans and experts, James should have won the championship in 2007, and as a result, he did reach the finals that year, but unfortunately was swept by the old Spurs.

James' current contract, strictly speaking, remains for four years and is worth a total of $60 million.

Truth be told, after a four-year rookie contract, James is already eligible for a maximum salary. However, according to the league's regulations, players with more than 7 years and less than 10 years of football can sign a contract with a starting salary of 30% of the league's salary cap, while those with less than 7 years of football can only have a maximum starting salary of 25% of the salary cap.

The Cavaliers were bent on offering James a five-year, $80 million contract, which is undoubtedly more tempting for the player in terms of length and total amount.

Not to mention that the salary of 80 million a year and 16 million in five years is 1 million more than 15 million in 4 years, 60 million a year, and it is more secure for players to say that a five-year agreement is one year longer than a four-year agreement.

However, James firmly chose a four-year contract of 60 million, which is the confidence of the little emperor, he believes that he will only get stronger and stronger, and he can sign the maximum salary after four years, so he chose a contract with a shorter time limit.

After the four-year contract is completed for three years, James will have a player option to terminate the contract early and re-sign.

James' new contract will start in the 2007-2008 season, and at the end of the three-year contract, James will be exactly seven years old, and if he chooses to sign a new contract, he will receive even greater benefits. Moreover, once the Cavaliers' record has not improved for several seasons in a row, a short contract could also help James to switch to another team.

Now, James can enjoy the benefits of his precise vision, and starting next season, he can not only get a big contract, but also change teams at will, because this summer, he is a free agent!

Staying or changing teams, this question has been plaguing James since the beginning of this season.

James also made a decision for himself early in his heart, if he wins the championship, he will stay in the team, and if he can't win the championship again, he will leave the Cavaliers!

In fact, James still hopes to stay with the Cavaliers, and staying with the team not only means that he can win a good name, but also ensure his absolute core position. But now it seems that he has to leave the Cavaliers, because although the finals are not over, the championship has already fallen to the Warriors.

James sat in the locker room with a blank face, but his mind was spinning fast, he was thinking about which team to transfer.

Despite league rules that prohibit teams from engaging with players until the season is over, almost all of the team's uniforms and coaching staff are quietly out to make contact with their favorite players.

So far, Little Emperor's agency has received invitations from at least twenty teams. In addition to the well-known Knicks, Nets, and Bulls, there are many more teams secretly attacking him.

Even the Lakers, who have James' sworn enemy, secretly expressed their affection for him after being eliminated by Chamberlain.

The atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room was dreary, and even O'Neal, who liked to be the most funny, was silent, leaning back on the closet with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Now O'Neill really has no mood or strength to boost the morale of the team, he has been exhausted by Chamberlain's torment.

Outside the door of the away team's locker room, three middle-aged men were huddled together and whispered.

The three are William Wesley, a well-known NBA powerhouse, Leon Rose, James' agent, and Mavrick Carter, the CEO of James' company, LRMR.

Wesley said dissatisfiedly: "Damn, LeBron could have had a more brilliant future, this qiē is all the fault of the Cavaliers, why didn't they exchange him for a better helper?" Look at what teammates LeBron has surrounded him since he entered the league, Ben Wallace and O'Neal are good, but both of them are seventy years old combined! ”

Leon said indignantly: "Teammates are not the biggest problem, LeBron has enough ability to settle the opponent, in fact he needs a better head coach, so I propose to let LeBron go to Los Angeles, is there a better head coach than Phil Jackson?" ”

"The head coach is a big problem, but I still want LeBron to stay in Cleveland, it's his home, it's his roots, it's the lifeblood of his business! If we think Mike Brown is incompetent, then why not get rid of him? Wouldn't it be okay to change LeBron's coaching team? Maverick said.

Wesley shook his head and said, "No way, man, LeBron is definitely leaving Cleveland, because the city is so small, LeBron is no longer the kid he was seven years ago, he needs a bigger market!" ”

"The question now is, which team is best suited for LeBron? Which team did he go to? Leon asked.

"How's Chicago? They have a champion with unlimited potential, LeBron + Rose, a double champion, what does that mean? It means that James' probability of winning the championship will be greatly increased! As you all know, LeBron has achieved nothing in the first seven seasons of his career, which has made his pursuit of glory to the point of hunger! Wesley said.

Leon pondered for a while, shook his head and said: "Impossible, although Derrick Rose is a very low-key little guy, he is actually very proud, let him give LeBron a hand, he will never want to!" But then again, isn't there a better option for the Alliance? Actually, there's one thing I haven't told you,"

Leon paused, and then said: "Miami also contacted me, and that Riley guy assured me that in addition to keeping Dwyane Wade, he has also got another important big guy in the class of 2003, as long as LeBron chooses to join Miami, then he has the confidence to create a dynasty!" ”

"Miami Heat?" Maverick said in surprise, "That's a bit too big, isn't it?" Cleveland, LeBlanc is the little emperor who reigns over the world; And once he moves to the Heat, he can only be a core player on an equal footing with Wade at best. After all, the Flash has already won the championship, and LeBron will continue to chase the championship. ”

"So what does it matter? Now LeBron just wants the championship! Leon retorted.

Maverick sneered and said, "If you only want the championship, then it's best to let him go to the locker room at that end!" ”

As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the other side of the arena, where the Warriors' locker room was located.

Listening to Maverick's words, Wesley and Leon looked at each other, and they were a little depressed: where did this Chamberlain come from, in their hearts, if there was no Chamberlain, then James could have won the championship this season with the assistance of O'Neal!

The door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open from the inside, James's think tank trio immediately shut up, Mike Brown walked out, the two sides looked at each other, and then as if they didn't see each other, they didn't say hello at all, and just staggered by.

James's think tank has always looked down on Brown, and Brown is the one who won the best head coach after all, and he will not put his hot face on the cold ass of these people.

James was the last to come out, and as soon as he walked out of the locker room, the trio greeted him.
