Chapter 406: Chapter 201 Shaquille’s Final Burst_2

"Sharks" didn’t care at all. "Danny, this is my 15th season in the League, things like this can’t shake me, I only stick to what I want to stick to!"

When facing the reporters, he was also very straightforward about his attitude, "I’ve been in this League for so long, I know what kind of player I am. No one can question my judgment about my own body. As for those who were thanking me for what I did for Cleveland in the semifinals just two days ago, and are now accusing me of dodging the game, I only have two words to say...wcnm!"

Shaquille O’Neal didn’t actually say the last wcnm; instead, he made a gesture and mouthed the words.

His tough attitude naturally provoked a bigger backlash from the Cleveland media.

This backlash was actually what Shaquille wanted.

He thought carefully about why Danny Ferri was so concerned about his playing injured, and he came to a conclusion:

Danny Ferri wanted to ensure his value.

He was going to trade him this summer!

Shaquille wasn’t surprised by this outcome.

But...

Shaquille O’Neal wasn’t going to just watch Danny Ferri make many reinforcements in the summer.

He wanted to assure his own market value, therefore the quality of the players exchanged for him shouldn’t be bad. That’s something he couldn’t change. However, besides this trade, Shaquille O’Neal wanted those players trying to join the Cavaliers to feel apprehensive.

Firstly, the constant news of unrest in LeBron’s locker room had already created a difficult persona for him.

This alone was enough to make people wary.

If there were also Clevelanders forcing injured players to play against their will, do you think many players would be reluctant to come to Cleveland?

That’s why his reaction was so explosive this time.

The purpose was to provoke an even more intense backlash from Clevelanders.

Now, Cavaliers fans and the Cleveland media were indeed fired up, and their language became sharper.

They clearly hadn’t realized how the outside world was viewing them at this moment!

Thinking about how he successfully tripped up LeBron, Shaquille O’Neal couldn’t help but want to dance the Swan Lake ballet.

No, no!

I’m an injured player right now, my butt still hurts, can’t dance, can’t dance!

The online public opinion continued to ferment, and the discussion about this matter grew louder.

University of Texas.

A tall, slim African-American was sitting in front of his computer, intently typing on the keyboard.

His gaze focused, his demeanor slightly handsome, especially paired with his unique aura, it was easy for someone to exclaim:

How did this kid grow up?

But the most eye-catching were his long legs, currently barefoot, stretched out carelessly in a posture that would thrill any leg enthusiast. His hooked foot looked like a scythe, terrifyingly long.

The keyboard clacked rapidly, and finally, he displayed a satisfied smile and hit send:

—"If I were Shaquille, I’d rather play, fall down on the court to show them I’m truly injured, instead of letting these doubts continue to assail me."

After he sent this message, a large number of replies quickly came:

"You are?"

"I don’t know about others, but one thing is clear, this brother is definitely a Clevelander!"

"LeBron, don’t test us; no one would support Shaquille doing that, he is injured and he should rest!"

"Clevelanders are the most arrogant people I’ve ever seen, but now I want to add another adjective: the stupidest! Do you really think anyone supports forcing Shaquille to play injured, huh?"

"I’m not a fan of Shaquille, but I also don’t want to see him play injured!"

"Cleveland wants to completely ruin Shaquille, that bitch even more so!"

...

The man saw these replies, far from being scared, he actually showed an excited smile, moved his fingers a bit, and adjusted the keyboard.

Alright!

He was starting to warm up his fingers before shooting...

Then a clattering sound was heard, and the man’s expression gradually twisted.

He entered the "battle mode"!

Ultimately, the Cleveland media still didn’t achieve their goal, and during the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals that night, Shaquille O’Neal, with a face that looked unbothered by boiling water, dressed in casual clothes, sat on the bench watching the team being thrashed by the Pacers again by 30 points.

What made the Cleveland media even angrier was that after the game, Shaquille O’Neal still shamelessly commented on LeBron: "He didn’t involve the other Cavaliers players. Otherwise, even if it’s tough to win, we wouldn’t have lost by so much!"

So you can lead, huh?

If you can lead, then why don’t you play!

You, sitting on the bench, blaming LeBron on the court for not involving the Cavaliers, do you really have the nerve?

Shaquille O’Neal’s confrontations with the Cleveland media became even more pointed, but for him, it didn’t matter anymore, there was just one more game left, and after that, it was all over, who cares what the Cleveland media says?

Even before the fourth game of the series started, Shaquille O’Neal jovially taunted in the locker room: "LeBron, come on, try to only lose by 19 points tonight, and don’t go over 20!"

By this time, LeBron had already heard about Shaquille O’Neal’s comments after the previous game that he couldn’t lead the team.
