Chapter 226: The Decision to Dystocia (Fourth Update)

It's been an extremely tough and confusing summer for LeBron James.

At only 25 years old, he has come to a crossroads in his life and has to make a major choice.

This isn't the first time he's made a big choice, as he did it when he was still in high school, at the age of 17.

He chose basketball and gave up football because he decided that basketball would bring him more and football would not.

He rejected Reebok and chose to sign with Nike, knowing that the contract amount given by Reebok at that time was $100 million.

A high school teenager whose family's monthly relief allowance was $17 turned down a 100 million yuan contract.

It's unbelievable, not because he's stupid, it's that he's not just thinking about the present, he's thinking about his entire basketball career.

That's right, he's been planning his career ever since, when he was just 18 years old.

Now, 7 years later, it turns out that he rejected Reebok and the decision to choose Nike should be the right one.

But his basketball path is still not smooth, because he is with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and of course, because he is not strong enough.

But can he get stronger? James himself is not sure, he is already the league's two-time MVP winner.

There are only a handful of players in NBA history who can win the MVP in a row, and they are all the top stars in history, so how else can he improve?

Instead of promoting yourself, you should promote your teammates, which is the first thought and train of thought of James and his team when faced with a choice.

As a result, the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are running poorly, are no longer on the team's agenda, at least not first.

The Bulls, the Heat, the Knicks are on the radar for James and his team.

Among them, the Bulls are Wade's hometown, Wade wants to go back to Chicago, and James can go and join forces with him.

Along with the top pick Derek Rose, it's an exciting combination.

However, after some communication with agent Leon Rose, Derrick Rose is not very interested in teaming up with James and Wade.

He may still retain the spirit of "leaders leading the team to compete" of the older generation of players, and he is unwilling to start the group early.

Then there is the Knicks, the market in New York is the largest in the league, and if James wants to go, it will definitely further amplify the market value of New York.

It is said that Stoudemire has promised to go to the Knicks, but James doesn't particularly want to team up with Xiaobawang, and the two have too much conflict in playing style.

There is also the Miami Heat, Riley tried his best to encourage James to come directly to the Heat, but James had concerns: because the Heat is Wade's team.

He is the emperor in the Cavaliers and the absolute boss of the team.

So if he goes to the Heat, will he be Wade's Pippen?

As a player with the goal of surpassing Jordan, going to another team to be the second is not something James and his team can accept.

So, despite a statement that a decision would be made on ESPN on July 8, James has not made up his mind where to go.

He is not a person who makes decisions easily, but he must leave enough room for himself to maneuver, and he will only make a choice after careful consideration.

After the free market opened on July 1, he stayed at home in Akron with his wife, mother, and friends.

He follows the movements of each team, receives information from each team, weighs the pros and cons, and makes the best choice.

But on July 4, Independence Day in the United States, a message on Twitter caused James and his team to blow up the nest.

Leon Rose was the first to call James, "LeBron, look at Twitter, NBA-Batman!" ”

James, the big name of NBA-Batman, is known and is the king of revelations in today's NBA.

As soon as he heard Rose say that the account was not good, he opened Twitter and found that a message about himself was being retweeted wildly: according to reliable sources, LeBron James's next stop will be the Miami Heat, and he is bringing talent to the South Coast.

β€œWhat? What is this reliable news? Who gave the reliable news? This is rumor-mongering. ”

James's first feeling in his heart was anger, he hadn't made a decision at all, what reliable news was going to the Heat?

Just when James was angry, Rose told him the second thing: "LeBron, I'm going to tell you the second news." Chris Bosh has decided to go to Miami and join forces with Wade. ”

Hearing the news, James was shocked.

Leon Rose is a co-agent for James and Bosh.

Obviously, Rose wants to put Bosh and James together.

If Bosh does go to the Heat, James will go to the Heat, and the Big Three......

This picture is so beautiful that James can't even think about it, and his first thought in his heart is: I am willing to go to the Heat.

Only by forming the Big Three can they fight against the Big Three of the Green Army and win the championship.

Why can the Celtics form a Big Three to win the championship and I can't?

James's inner balance quickly tilted in favor of the Heat, but when he thought of NBA-Batman's revelations, James got goosebumps.

"If I really chose the Heat, wouldn't I be hit by NBA-Batman? What is this account? ”

In an instant, James's heart was filled with anxiety and doubt, and Leon Rose said that he would rush over to meet with James.

James hung up the phone, and his good friend Rich Paul came over and said, "Hey, LeBron, can you see the retweet on Twitter?" ”

"I saw it, I saw it, and he said I'd go to the Heat," James said. ”

"This is a rumor, you should refute it, you haven't made a decision yet!"

"No, it's not a rumor, I do have the idea of going to the Heat."

"What? When did you want to go to the Heat? Why didn't you tell me? ”

"Just now, after this tweet, Ross said that Bosh went to Miami."

Rich Paul was also shocked, could it be that this NBA-Batman predicted James's prediction?

Or does he really have some special information channel, and there are moles among James' friends?

Everyone fell silent, and a tweet suddenly complicated the situation.

Sitting on the couch and looking through Twitter retweets and comments, James noticed a problem.

That is, most people are extremely resistant to the statement that they want to go to the Heat.

Either don't believe it and think it's a rumor.

Either they believed it and began to insult James with various words.

This is something James never expected, because the 25-year-old thinks that everyone will like and respect him.

He just changed teams and worked in a different place, so why did he have such a big reaction?

Everybody loves LeBron, and that's been the case since he entered the league, but after reading this tweet, James realized that this was not the case.

"Shouldn't I go to the Heat? How about going to the Clippers? Their general manager is good, and Curry is a guy with potential, and they are said to have 20 million in space. ”

James was a little shaken inside, and he felt that he should not go to the Heat.

In the evening, Leon Rose came to James' house to deal with the emergency.

Because this tweet will not only interfere with James's choice, but also make the live broadcast of "Decision" that ESPN has been planning for months go to ruin.

"Leon, do you think I can go to the Clippers? They're very good, just a number three. James offered his idea.

Leon Rose shook his head and sighed, "I called Smart Min on the way here. ”

"What did he say?"

"He told me to get out."
