The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

He kicked LeBron James in the groin and pretended to lose his footing on landing, staggering forward only to aim another kick at LeBron's groin.

"Ugh!"

LeBron, already in unbearable pain, rolled his eyes in agony.

Then, unable to hold back, a warm stream flowed down, wetting the floor near his groin.

Sideline spectators immediately noticed:

"LeBron's pissed himself!"

"LeBron's pissed himself!"

Shouts made the cameras on the scene zoom in on LeBron's groin area.

Everyone saw the dampness on his shorts.

Laughter echoed throughout the arena.

No one cared about the pain on his face.

Because the broadcast crew kindly replayed the footage of him elbowing Afflalo in the face, causing blood to flow.

Everything was perfect poetic justice.

Dante Jones wore an expression of "apology" as he said to the suffering LeBron, "Hey, are you okay, what's that thing you said... 'This is a basketball court; anything can happen!' I'm really sorry this happened!"

The team doctor frowned as he brought over the stretcher.

LeBron, still in pain, lay down, clutching his groin area.

Dante Jones was given a "Level 2 malicious foul" by the onsite referees.

This set off the Indiana crowd!

Why did LeBron only get a "Level 1 malicious foul" for making Afflalo bleed?

Was Dante getting kicked out just for making LeBron pee himself?

Whose home court was this?

"Referee sucks!"

"Referee sucks!"

"Referee sucks!"

There were chants of abuse toward the referees on the scene.

Rick Carlisle patted Dante on the shoulder as he passed by.

Even though there was no blood, putting LeBron on a stretcher was enough.

After LeBron James left the court, the Pacers firmly held their home court, defeating the Heat Team 94 to 83, by 11 points, changing the series score to 3-1.

Following Rick Carlisle's directions, Dante Jones openly admitted his actions after the game: "I did it on purpose. LeBron has made small plays more than once on the court; he pushed Zach Randolph from behind as Zach jumped for a rebound, shoved O'Neal's waist during the 'Second Attack,' and tried to undercut me when I attempted a shot. But the worst thing he did..."

"I don't need to tell you, you all should know!"

"Alon's face was covered in blood, and he suffered a concussion!"

"Yet he can still recklessly harm us on the court!"

"So, why can't I do these dangerous things to him?"

"Are only Heat Team players allowed to hurt us, and we're not allowed to fight back?"

"Or is it because..."

"Su Wan has left, and you think Indiana people are just soft persimmons for everyone to squeeze?"

"We respect every opponent; if they want to solve problems through basketball, we welcome it. If they want to resort to sleazy methods, we'll bite back!"

"We believe!"

"Justice will prevail!"

...

The whole state of Indiana was stirred by these words.

The next morning, the Indiana media collectively published articles condemning LeBron and the Heat Team, as well as the League for showing favoritism to LeBron: "They turn a blind eye to LeBron's little tricks; that's the main reason for all the trouble!"

"As for the Heat Team..."

"They're just a dirty team!"

The New York media immediately supported the Indiana media:

We testify, the Heat Team thinks of low blows to win games when they can't win on skill.

The New York media mentioned the '97 semifinals.

In that game, the Heat Team instigated a fight with a malicious foul by PJ Brown, causing the New York bench to erupt in anger. This led to a brawl and ultimately several Knicks starters were suspended, losing them the series.

Now, they've repeated the trick, trying to provoke the Pacers with LeBron's "malicious foul," so O'Neal and Zach Randolph, like "Big Mama" and "Gorilla," lose their temper and throw punches, leading to their suspension.

"But this time, they weren't successful!"

"Rick Carlisle saw through their tricks, trading only a Dante Jones for a beautiful counterattack!"

"From what we know, LeBron's testicles are split open, but he should thank God because Dante's second kick missed the target!"

"However, even though it did not hit the target, he did kick near LeBron's groin, causing LeBron some issues in that area."

"This is something worth reflecting on..."

"Do we often pretend to be sick?"

"It turns out, that's a huge taboo!"

"If you often fake sickness, the illness you're pretending to have will eventually come for you!"

"In ways you can't imagine!"

"Combining these problems, LeBron might need one to two months to recover!"

"This means his season is over!"

"But there's no need to feel sympathy for LeBron because..."

The New York media placed a photo of LeBron with a mysterious smile on his face after elbowing Afflalo and causing him to bleed at the end of this paragraph.

There was a final sentence:

"Everything is what he brought upon himself!"

Su Wan also immediately supported his former team: "I'm glad to see they responded in the right way. To deal with dirty players like LeBron and Bruce, we should make them feel the pain, even double it, then they'll know how wrong they are to do such things!"
