The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Chapter 268: LeBron, don't rush off, I've got some goodies in my room_6



How does that phrase go again:

"If you break my wings, I will destroy your paradise!"

To prove he was not joking, that very morning, a fire was lit at Popovich's mansion in San Antonio, terrifying his family half to death.

Then, New York was not at peace either.

Hundreds of big and small cases.

All involved fans who had drunk too much or were excitedly engaging in "zero-cost shopping" or other crazy celebration activities.

All police stations in New York were busy all night.

And as dawn broke, news about Su Wan's sixth career championship and the New York Knicks winning their third championship in history, the first in 38 years, dominated most media headlines.

Because even before the finals, there had already been a lot of media setting the atmosphere.

Su Wan was officially "ascended to godhood", and in the eyes of most media, his status in NBA history was now comparable to Michael Jordan.

Especially with this championship he won in New York.

The team's level of play was really unbearable to watch.

Leading such a team to a championship was definitely a testament to his personal ability.

Barkley said, "Currently in the league, Su Wan is undoubtedly the most dominant player on the court, without a peer, and this is absolutely not a disrespect to Kobe, but unfortunately, his leadership isn't at Su Wan's level!"

What excited New York media even more was not just winning the first championship in 38 years.

They were more excited about Su Wan's promise.

He pledged to bring a "dynasty" to New York!

Looking at the current situation...

The first signs were very promising!

Su Wan's first championship in Indiana was won by defeating the Spurs.

And...

That finals round, Popovich ended up in the ICU!

All these signs were strikingly similar to Su Wan's first championship in Indiana.

Then, for the New York Knicks.

Winning a championship over the Spurs also meant a return of good fortune.

In the "shortened season" of 1999, the New York Knicks executed a "Black Eight" upset over the Heat Team and made it to the finals, but they lost to the Spurs there.

That championship made Tim Duncan's "sophomore legend".

Afterward, the Spurs consistently made the playoffs, winning another championship trophy in 2003.

Such a long stretch of good fortune was now reclaimed by the New York Knicks.

And it just so happened to be reclaimed on this 12-year cyclic point...

How could New York media not believe:

This was a hint that New York was about to secure a "dynasty"?

Now they had only one thing to do, to keep Dolan, this fool, honestly playing his role as the owner, without deliberately making idiotic moves...

In the eyes of New York media, this was the biggest obstacle to the "New York Dynasty".

Additionally, Vince Carter's comments after the game also sparked heated discussions.

No one expected that he had joined the New York Knicks just to insult LeBron.

And...

He succeeded!

He successfully proved that he and Su Wan could win championships.

So...

The blame for the Cavaliers not winning the championship naturally couldn't be put on him.

As for who should bear it...

Do you understand what "control variable method" means?

Shaquille O'Neal stepped forward right away.

When he initially called Vince Carter, he had actually been hoping to see this scenario become reality.

In his eager anticipation, Su Wan didn't disappoint him, nor did Vince Carter.

The fun...

It had arrived!

"Once again, it's proven that LeBron just isn't as good as Su Wan!"

"He just doesn't have the leadership abilities of Su Wan!"

"Therefore, I propose, Big Z, Larry Hughes, Ricky Davis...all the players who partnered with LeBron and had to pay for his failures, join Su Wan's team, and he will lead you to prove that it wasn't you who were inadequate, but this so-called Chosen One!"

"One thing that everyone should know..."

"Even Su Wan couldn't coexist with him peacefully!"

Originally, Vince Carter's words already had the media reevaluating LeBron James.

Now, Shaquille O'Neal adding fuel to the fire.

The narrative of the "sacrifices" LeBron had made last season that led to a comeback suddenly disappeared again.

The "Cleveland Plain Dealer" also came forward at this time:

"Looking back now, we made a huge mistake. We shouldn't have traded Andre Miller for LeBron, we shouldn't have given up Ricky Davis for LeBron. If we hadn't let go of these two, maybe Bozer wouldn't have left either..."

"They along with Su Wan..."

"Perhaps the Cavaliers would have won the championship long ago!"

Su Wan, watching their musings, couldn't help but internally criticize:

It wasn't easy, these guys finally realized what kind of lineup they had squandered.

However, pitiful people always have detestable qualities.

Everyone knows, if history were to repeat itself, the Clevelanders would definitely still give all their favoritism to LeBron.

Therefore, there's really no need to feel sorry for them!

Below this outpouring of comments, LeBron James once again became the "biggest victim" of the finals.

No...

Not just him!

Pat Riley also became a victim.

This season, the Heat Team was stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

For the "Divine Calculator," this was definitely not the result he wanted to see.

Therefore, changes were inevitable.

And in his view, LeBron was his biggest bargaining chip.

His original intention was still to build the "Three Giants".
