Chapter 271: The Biggest Beneficiary of the Rule Change is Actually...
Su Wan recently watched the news about LeBron and was very displeased.
So, praising him is the only right thing to do, and pointing out his faults is wrong?
Su Wan didn't care how others were manipulated, but such tactics wouldn't work on him!
"Basketball is just basketball!"
"I don't care what kind of symbol he is to Black Americans!"
"All that is off the court!"
"I respect the choices of all Black people!"
"They treat LeBron as a guiding light, and there's no problem with that!"
"But in the NBA, in this League!"
"This guy is just bad!"
"He's been with the Cavaliers for 8 years!"
"The Cavaliers traded away Andre Miller and Ricky Davis for him, and of course, including me, they brought in Shaquille O'Neal and Vince Carter for him! But what was the result?"
"He hasn't even made it to the finals!"
"Shaquille and Vince ended up being his scapegoats!"
"But the truth proves that those who can't win championships with him are not the problem. Shaquille and I won two championships, Vince and I also have won one!"
"So why couldn't they win championships when they were with LeBron?"
"Whose fault is that?"
"Do I need to say more?"
"By the way, from 2004 until last year, the Cavaliers only beat the Pacers once in the regular season, a time without me or LeBron!"
"Since I left the Pacers, LeBron hasn't beaten me even once!"
"Now just because he scored a triple-double with 30 points in the opening game, I should consider him my rival?"
"Why?"
"If he wants to be my rival, he should first prove that he has the ability to defeat me!"
"Lastly, I want to say..."
"You all noticed LeBron's big triple-double of 30, but you should have also noticed that Chris's performance was not very good!"
"Listen, I can predict this will definitely not be the norm!"
"Chris Bosh, who was in the League's First Team last season with averages of 23 and 11, will plummet this season because LeBron is monopolizing the ball!"
"There's no other reason, simply because LeBron, as a player, is too wasteful of his teammates!"
"OK, let me summarize what I've said!"
"LeBron, a person with poor individual ability, has never beaten me in the past 7 years, and is a softie who betrayed Cleveland. Why should I consider him a rival?"
His words brought a moment of silence to the room for a second.
Then there was thunderous applause.
The journalists interviewing Su Wan at that moment were all bright-eyed.
Since LeBron suddenly took over the dominance in public opinion, these journalists who were accustomed to pointing out LeBron's issues to help him improve suddenly found themselves out of space. They were so suppressed that they could hardly breathe, and could only choose to submit, temporarily staying silent on LeBron.
However, LeBron's Team's media journalists hit a wall today.
After Su Wan fiercely refuted that journalist, his remarks also became a hot search the next day.
The New York Times immediately wrote, "LeBron and Su Wan are not on the same level, LeBron needs to first become the best player of the '03 class, then try to compete for the regular season MVP trophy, and finally, he can aim to challenge the League's best player."
Barkley also said, "Yes, let's just discuss basketball and what happens in the League, LeBron does not have the qualifications to be compared with Su Wan in this League!"
Shaquille O'Neal also tweeted, "A man without a ring should first pursue a championship ring, and then compare himself with someone who has two championship rings. Take it slow, LeBron, this is not the NBA Draft, you can't skip college and directly register, the gap between you and Su Wan is too big!"
Then the media from Indiana and Cleveland joined in mocking LeBron.
In the past few days, LeBron's Team, who had been rampant in the public opinion, felt the "strong headwind" again. They did not let LeBron respond to this matter, nor did they dare let the media provoke Su Wan again.
What can I say!
Even if LeBron is now the top version, your elder is still your elder.
The "heavy punches" formed over the past 7 years are not "one-time props" but "nuclear weapons" that can be reused at any time.
In short...
"LeBron, you might have to endure a bit longer until we defeat Su Wan!" Richie Paul advised LeBron.
This infuriated LeBron.
No.
I sacrificed before the summer, you told me to endure;
I sacrificed after the summer, and you still tell me to endure?
So was my sacrifice all in vain?
The more he thought about it, the angrier LeBron got, and he directly said, "The past glory is also the past, we have to look forward!"
These words made Su Wan outright laugh, "A softie who betrayed his own city, a racist who bullied his teammates, will of course look forward, he's eager for everyone to forget the past, but... that's impossible!"
LeBron couldn't respond anymore.
Because if he continued to clash with Su Wan, then the media's pressure would follow.
Especially since Diddy had also called him, "Raymond, this topic is too sensitive, just endure it!"
You know, their strongest weapon as a race is "racism," which, against white skin, only needs one accusation of racism to instantly silence the other party.
But now, the "racism" weapon was held in Su Wan's hands, which was unbelievable!
