Chapter 271: The Biggest Beneficiary of the Rule Change is Actually..._2
Continuing to entangle in this will surely make those white guys condemn altogether, "You black people say every day that you are racially discriminated against, so how come you are now discriminating against others?"
This will bring a negative impact on the entire race.
LeBron really wants to say,
LeBron, love me one more time!
But right now, he probably knows to what extent diddy can help him.
It's just about getting him to stand firm in public opinion.
If he wants real power of speech, he still needs to fight for it with his own efforts on the court.
Just wait and see...
LeBron devoted himself entirely to the game.
After the Heat Team won the first game against the Bulls, they continued to defeat the Spurs and the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies are a pushover; there's nothing much to say about that.
But the Spurs were the first in the Western last season!
Defeating last season's second in the Eastern and first in the Western in succession is a tremendously positive signal for the Miami media.
The momentum displayed by the Heat Team at the start of this season was almost no different from last season's, and it wasn't until mid-January that the Heat Team lost their first game of the new season.
During this period, LeBron James's stats were incredibly explosive:
Averaging 26.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game.
He produced outstanding statistics on both offense and defense.
He also received the Eastern "Player of the Week" for the first week.
After receiving this award, his team also conveniently shouted the slogan, "LeBron's form has clearly reached the level of a regular season MVP!"
And just as LeBron's Team put out this message, Su Wan, who had not scored more than 32 points in the previous games, scored over 40 in two consecutive matches. On January 22nd, Su Wan first scored 41 points against the Bobcats the night before, and then that evening he dropped a high score of 52 points, forcefully maintaining the team's undefeated record.
By the end of January, the New York Knicks were the only team that hadn't lost a game so far this season.
Su Wan, in 20 games, averaged 32.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.5 steals, and 1 block. His shooting percentage was 52%, three-point shot accuracy was 42.5%, and free throw percentage was 91.8%!
The 180 Club!
The entire league was stunned.
No one expected the almost 27-year-old Su Wan to burst out like this.
You have to understand, this season is a "Shortened Season," but in order to recoup losses, every team has to play a full 66 games. According to the schedule from previous years, there wouldn't be enough dates.
Therefore, the League organized a lot of harsh schedules.
"Back-to-back" games were no longer a rarity.
Every team had "back-to-back-to-back" schedules, and there were even "5 games in 7 days" devilish schedules.
Take the Spurs for example...
A group of old men!
But David Stern didn't show the slightest sympathy; just in January, they had to play 5 "back-to-back" games.
The worst schedule arrangement in the entire League.
The San Antonio media complained about this.
Media from other cities felt they should not complain because it was their retribution.
They deserved it!
At the end of January, out of 30 teams in the League, at least 20 had suffered injuries.
All because of the harshness of the schedule.
This showed just how devilish this year's schedule truly was.
Yet Su Wan played with the efficiency of the "180 Club" amidst such a schedule.
This...
They all didn't know what to say.
The media asked Su Wan, "Why is your form so good this season? Is it because of your special summer training?"
Su Wan said, "I heard LeBron wants to compete for the regular season MVP this year. If he has hope to win that trophy, then why don't I have a chance? I believe the media won't choose a guy who has never won against me, and they certainly won't abandon a consistent winner for a guy who has never won against me."
"I won't let that happen!"
This was the first time Su Wan revealed his intentions so early to compete for the regular season MVP.
At that moment, Nike media, the New York media, and ESPN, deeply cooperating with Su Wan, simultaneously exerted their influence to create hype for Su Wan's bid for the regular season MVP.
They were all in tacit agreement.
Their angle was the same:
If Su Wan won the regular season MVP trophy this year, then he would be on par with Michael Jordan!
The New York media put it bluntly: "If the 8-year 6-champion Michael Jordan can have 5 regular season MVPs, then there's no reason why 7-year 6-champion Su Wan can't have his 5th regular season MVP this season!"
And whether it's from personal data, efficiency, or from the perspective of the team's record, Su Wan was the one with the advantage.
"Fxxk!"
LeBron stomped his foot in anger when he saw these opinions in the media.
It's not...
What on earth did I do to this guy!
Why does he have to target me?
Richie Paul muttered quietly at the side:
You've done too much!
Pressuring him out of the Cavaliers, racial discrimination, and favoring older players while bullying Huaxia players.
Even though Richie Paul is LeBron's agent, he fully understands why Su Wan is targeting LeBron so fiercely.
If he were in the same shoes, he would probably be even more relentless.
Especially now that his honors and media influence are above LeBron's, he would be even more...
Relatively speaking, Su Wan has been quite restrained.
Of course, that's what Richie thought inwardly, but he said to LeBron, "The only way now is to defeat the New York Knicks in the upcoming game! Just one win against them, and the public opinion will be much friendlier to us!"
