The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

"But actually, he's not even qualified to be my opponent!"

"By now, you should realize what I'm talking about."

"That's right, the media that hyped up this game before, and now shifting public attention and throwing the blame for the loss on you, are all part of the same team!"

"They didn't expect LeBron, who gets favoritism from the League, to lose so miserably!"

"But they want to keep hyping up the battle between LeBron and me for the regular season MVP!"

"What to do?"

"They can only continue sacrificing you!"

When Su Wan got to this point, he sneered ironically:

"If I remember correctly, Chris, you were 'All-NBA First Team' last season and the only All-Star starter for the Heat Team. It's not easy for any player to reach that level!"

"It's even more difficult to give all that up at the peak age!"

"But what's sadder is..."

"Your sacrifice has not been rewarded at all, and instead, you have to bear all the responsibilities that you shouldn't have to carry!"

"Chris, do you really want to waste the best years of your career for teammates like these?"

"Look at Shaquille O'Neal!"

"And look at Vince Carter!"

"They both ended up as LeBron's scapegoats after he lost games!"

"But in the end, it turned out that the problem wasn't with them, it was LeBron!"

"I don't quite understand why Pat Riley, given your outstanding performance last season, would hand over the team's absolute core to LeBron. Anyway, if I were the general manager, I would definitely continue to build around you!"

"The way Pat Riley did it, to me, it's a complete lack of respect for your performance!"

"I am angry for you!"

"Of course, the choice is yours, but I couldn't help but speak out."

"Let's see if my guess is accurate or not!"

The video ended like that.

In just three minutes, the content was rich.

The most shocking thing was undoubtedly the video Su Wan had prerecorded, which successfully predicted the direction of public opinion the next day:

Chris Bosh actually became the main scapegoat in most media outlets for the Heat Team, even being called as LeBron's "deadweight" for his inability to perform up to par with Su Wan.

What else can be said!

LeBron, Su Wan really sees right through you.

He had already figured out what you and your team would do after losing a game!

As for the statement Su Wan made after his prediction, while it seemed to be addressed to Chris Bosh, for the New York media, Barkley, and some reporters who are against LeBron, this was a signal!

Stoke the fire, hurry and stoke it!

I've already fanned the flames for you!

What you have to do now is blow this fire bigger.

The New York media published an article at the earliest opportunity: "Chris Bosh should recognize what he has lost this season, he was last season's All-NBA First Team and All-Star starter, and this season, he's lost his All-Star starter spot, no, he's not even an All-Star anymore. This is the result of his sacrifice, with his commercial value plummeting. As his on-court performance declines, so too does his value."

"I believe that if it was last summer, there would be many teams willing to trade at least three first-round picks to get Chris Bosh. But now, I think it would be difficult to find a team willing to offer more than two first-round picks for Chris!"

"The Dragon King needs to think carefully about his future!"

Barkley said, "Chris's situation reminds me of my time in Philly, where I was similarly disrespected, and then I went to the Phoenix Suns and became the regular season MVP. Players have professional integrity and should follow the team's plan, that's right. But we should respect ourselves more. No one knows our value better than ourselves!"

Shaquille O'Neal said, "If I had been All-NBA First Team and an All-Star starter last season, and led the team to be first in the league, yet the team took away all my rights before the next season, I would definitely request a trade, because that's just too disrespectful!"

Reggie Miller also said, "Chris Bosh has the ability of a superstar but not the self-respect of a Super Star!"

...

Then the media in Cleveland and Indiana also chimed in, stepping on him one after another.

Chris Bosh actually woke up early this morning already paying attention to the news.

His performance yesterday was poor.

He was ready to be criticized.

But to see these media portraying him as the "criminal" of the Heat Team, he felt a sudden sense of injustice.

How much time has passed?

Did they forget?

I sacrificed myself for the team!

Especially seeing some Miami media and fans online clamoring for him to be traded, he really felt stifled.

Heartbreak, sadness, and depression flooded his body...

And just then, his agent called him to check out a Twitter post by someone named Erin and watch the video she posted.

Chris Bosh knew who Erin was—

The entire industry knew her as Su Wan's personal reporter. Following Su Wan for seven years, she went from an intern to a top journalist at ESPN, holding a wealth of media resources in her hands. And more importantly...

She was also beautiful!
