The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Chris Bosh would gulp down saliva every time he saw her.

He quickly found Erin's video.

When he saw that Su Wan had predicted last night that he would become the target of media blame today, he was stunned.

This guy...

A charlatan?

Then, when he saw Su Wan claiming that all the public opinion was manipulated by LeBron's team, he was initially skeptical. But then he suddenly remembered that last year Su Wan had predicted ahead of time that LeBron would drop out of the game.

Su Wan understood LeBron too well!

So...

Was it true?

He immediately became infuriated!

Fuck you, LeBron!

Earlier, when Gloria seduced him, he had considered the team's internal impact.

Had he known, he would have just gone all out!

No wonder he was so agitated.

What LeBron did was just disgusting!

Everyone on the Heat Team saw his sacrifices.

If it weren't for him moving to the corner, giving up ball handling and space, could LeBron have played so comfortably?

Another reason Chris Bosh was so furious, and usually, he wasn't this hot-tempered:

Due to various factors, last season Chris Bosh proved his ability to lead as the "Boss" of the team, both in terms of individual honors and statistics, he was the top in his position.

Whereas, originally when Chris Bosh joined the Heat Team, he was the one sacrificed, not knowing what he could become, and also crushed in aspects of honors, hence lacking in confidence.

But now, his confidence was overflowing!

He already harbored resentment, but because of his high professionalism, he had always been enduring it, constantly telling himself in his mind:

For the team, for the team!

But what he never expected was, he loved the team, and feared the team could disband.

And the result...

Who the hell loved him back!

Then he saw Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal, and others fueling the fire with their statements, and he felt his chest heaving.

No, he had to vent this frustration.

Just as he was preparing to take action, his agent called and delivered the final blow:

"Chris, the two commercial contracts we discussed might be called off..."

"Bang!"

Chris Bosh lost it.

It was no longer manageable!

Damn it...

Don't act like a paper tiger, or do you think a monkey could really be king?

No ball-handling rights, fine!

Wasn't it because of my high tactical literacy?

Being scolded by the media, fine!

At that time, it was for the team!

But now even money is gone, shit...

"Tell Pat Riley, either give me back those damn ball-handling rights, or trade me immediately!" he almost roared, "Isn't this just bullying the honest guy?"

The agent hurriedly called Pat Riley.

Riley hadn't yet grasped the seriousness of the issue and thought he could handle any player.

Of course, the methods were definitely different.

With someone like Shaquille O'Neal, during his valuable times, he would negotiate; when he wasn't valuable, he'd kick him straight out; with someone like Wade, he would adopt a "stern father" attitude; with someone like LeBron, he would be tough when necessary...

Chris Bosh was more or less the type like Wade.

In two words:

Cajoled!

He requested a meeting with Chris Bosh, and started off by buttering him up: "Buddy, I believe you're a professional, and you definitely won't let some comments from the outside affect the team atmosphere. I believe you can manage your emotions!"

Chris Bosh said, "Pat, I have enough professionalism, but you should also give me enough respect!"

He had long wanted to ask, why give him up for LeBron?

Pat Riley said, "Chris, trust me, no one understands your value better than us. Listen, I can make a promise right now, no matter what others say, I won't trade you, and I will prepare a top salary contract for you!"

"..." Chris Bosh fell silent.

He had come here furious, but Pat Riley's sincerity left him unsure what to say. He silently stood up and left Pat Riley's general manager office.

Pat watched him leave with a smile curling at his lips.

Done!

It was that simple!

Chris Bosh was typically a bit temperamental but not excessively so.

Just being a bit sincere and emphasizing his words could easily cool him down.

However...

While he had cooled down, the relationship between Chris Bosh and LeBron... would likely retain some tensions.

Damn Su Wan!

Despicable outsider!

Why always resort to these hidden tactics?

The news of Chris Bosh's meeting with Pat Riley soon reached the outside world, naturally including Madison Square Garden.

The news was consistently brought by Erin: "Pat Riley personally soothed him, so there should be no follow-up."

Su Wan nodded, agreeing with Erin's words.

With Chris Bosh's personality, it was easy for Pat Riley to handle him.

However...

Although there wasn't a bigger spectacle, he had already gained what he wanted.

Firstly, LeBron's team hadn't succeeded in diverting attention, instead making his "prediction" popular again.

Also, LeBron's team's tricks were exposed by him, and now they must face "fate" directly.

Moreover, Chris Bosh, although he didn't immediately "rise in rebellion"—it's a pity, for if it was Shaquille O'Neal or Vince Carter, they would have probably dismantled the Heat Team immediately.
