The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Hey there!

That's just so comfortable!

It wasn't just one thing that was making LeBron's mood great.

With the League changing the rules, Pat Riley seemed to have felt that making him the Absolute Core was a better choice, and for the new season, LeBron would become the Heat Team's starting Point Guard.

Ball in hand!

Hahahahaha!

Every time LeBron thought about this, he couldn't wait to howl to the sky.

His most comfortable style of play had finally returned...

From now on, I won't sacrifice for anyone!

A hint of gloom passed through LeBron's eyes.

He had sacrificed enough in the past year!

Dwayne, you run for me!

Chris, you get down to the corner for me!

And that Chalmers, who argued with me every day, just sit honestly on the bench!

I'll lead you bunch of trash to win games.

The game that night started, and LeBron indulged in using his "Crab Step" on the court.

The biggest bonus from the "traveling" rule change for him was that he could gather the ball earlier and then just rush towards the basket with it.

Um...

To put it simply...

Rugby-style charge!

Ruhl couldn't stop LeBron's Breakthrough, and by the time Noah came to help defend, LeBron's momentum had already been built up, and going up to block him would more likely result in a charging foul.

Just like that, LeBron grew more and more energetic as he kept completing basket attacks.

Later on, he got so excited that it wasn't just a "four-step layup" anymore. This was... five, six, seven, eight steps!

Noah kept gesturing to the referees LeBron's "travel," but they totally ignored him, completely messing with his mentality.

They gave him a technical foul and told him to sit down and cool off.

LeBron even deliberately puffed out his chest and raised his head as he walked by Noah, who was very annoyed. When he turned his head, LeBron quickly closed in. But LeBron seemed to be especially sensitive to someone approaching him in a post-up position. He turned his head suddenly, his face still showing a bit of panic:

"What what what, what are you going to do?"

He ended up amusing Noah instead.

In the end, the Heat Team won at home with a score of 108-99, beating the Bulls by 9 points.

LeBron scored a luxurious triple-double with 30 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists.

Wade scored 21 points.

As for Chris Bosh, he only posted 13 points and 3 rebounds.

For Miami fans, they were fine with whoever had great stats, as long as they won the games. Seeing LeBron so fierce, they cheered loudly for him.

In their view, LeBron was the most unstable factor last season; the Three Giants never won a game when they started together.

Seeing LeBron perform so well in the first game, and the Three Giants even managed to beat the Bulls together, that's a good sign!

As for the underperforming Chris Bosh, they believe he can definitely adjust.

This was last season's "All-NBA First Team" after all!

And also the only All-Star starter for the Heat Team!

After the game, LeBron said, "I'm pretty sure I have really transformed, this season, I'll definitely succeed!"

The Miami media subconsciously overlooked that LeBron said "I'll definitely succeed" and not "We'll definitely succeed." They also believed, as long as LeBron maintains his current state, the Heat Team has great prospects for the new season.

The next morning, news of LeBron leading the team to victory against the Bulls began to sweep All over the United States.

LeBron's "30-plus" triple-double was praised to the skies.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer made some sour comments, and immediately a wave of media outlets attacked them.

That took them by surprise.

When did LeBron's media power became so strong again?

As for LeBron himself, seeing the Cleveland media getting a lesson left him very excited.

One media outlet asked Su Wan what he thought of LeBron's performance in the first game: "Do you think LeBron will become your rival this season?"

Su Wan rolled his eyes: "If he could be considered my rival, he would have been my rival long ago, but I've never taken him seriously in the past, and it's definitely not possible to take him seriously now, he's not on my list of rivals."

One of the reporters immediately looked at him sharply: "Su Wan, what do you mean? Are you making those comments as a way to discriminate against LeBron because he's Black?"

Su Wan was unfazed: "Fuck off, I've been talking about basketball, when have you ever seen me bring up racial discrimination? LeBron's just lousy at basketball, whether he's Black, White, or Asian, lousy is lousy!"

"You actually reminded me!"

"Speaking of racial discrimination, LeBron really did racially discriminate against Asians, and he also has a history of bullying teammates!"

"Why don't you tell me, why such a person is still able to play ball so carefree up to now?"

"Just because he's Black?"

Turning the tables on the reporter who wanted to stir things up, it stunned him.

A big "DANGER" sign flashed through his mind!
