Chapter 462: Chapter 212: So What Was the Reason LeBron Became the ’Chosen One’?_3

No other reason, it’s just that he had too little experience when he was young, and the team protected him too well.

Look at Michael Jordan!

Before winning the championship, he was first beaten by the Celtics, then by the Pistons.

He honed his league-dominating offensive skills through the beatings, and by ’88, he was already called "the best player in the league," naturally, alongside tremendous booing.

He was called "the best player" because his individual skills were indeed unparalleled.

The tremendous booing, of course, was because he still hadn’t won a championship!

During the time he was beaten by the Pistons, he realized his own shortcomings in physical confrontation and immediately started the first "Breakfast Club," after which his ability to take hits became even more fierce.

Later, many fans said that Michael Jordan defeated the Pistons because he had Pippen.

But in fact, if it wasn’t for Pippen’s damn "migraine," Jordan would have entered the finals a year earlier.

Even so, with teammates who held him back, he took the responsibility of losing on himself, believing that his ability to compete physically was still not enough.

After the "Breakfast Club," no one could stop Jordan, and he won the championship as soon as he entered the finals, and once he won, he established a "Dynasty."

They say "trial by fire forges the finest steel," and Jordan is definitely the true embodiment of this phrase.

Then look at what LeBron did in the first seven years of his career, which was similar to Jordan’s?

In the first two years, to establish his position, the management traded away everyone who threatened his ball-handling rights, causing Boozer to prefer becoming a "rebeller" rather than stay with the Cavaliers. Then, using the "Big Core" playstyle, he put up dazzling statistics, but didn’t make the playoffs in the first two years of his career.

By the time he finally made the playoffs, Wade had won the championship!

When he broke into the finals and got a buzzcut, losing seemed to become an unacceptable thing.

As soon as the Cavaliers fell in the playoffs, the next day or the day after, there would immediately be rumors of LeBron suffering from injuries, affecting his performance.

Then, in those seven years, other than gaining a more intimidating physique, his skills did not improve in the slightest.

And the Cavaliers tried every player in the league for him, only to have him and his fans claim "no superstars want to come to Cleveland."

If he had been thrown into the same situation as Jordan was for a couple of years, it really wouldn’t take seven years to develop a single skill.

This was proven by the three years from his second season with the Heat until he left the Heat.

During that time, he had an awkward but somewhat effective back attack and a reasonably stable mid-range shot.

But as soon as he returned to Cleveland, all that was gone.

So, those who say LeBron is disciplined, there’s no problem. But those who talk up his diligence, it really leaves you speechless.

What LeBron lacks the most is a general manager like Pat Riley to whip him into shape.

Interestingly, he had originally planned to use the same tactics he used to threaten the Cavaliers’ general manager on Pat Riley, but the "Divine Calculator" taught him a lesson right away, making him realize he had no special privileges in Miami.

Perhaps that’s why he later bit back, claiming that his experience in Miami wouldn’t affect his greatness.

After all, that was his "stain."

And in the home team’s tunnel, tonight’s best performer, Vince Carter, was cornered by James’ favored reporter who aggressively asked, "The Cavaliers must have many tactics to help LeBron when he’s heavily targeted, diverting those defenses. But we didn’t see that in this game; we only saw you continually holding the ball. So Vince, do you think you should take responsibility for this game?"

Vince Carter looked at him, sneering in his heart.

Old foxes all of them, playing such clichés with me!

As soon as the reporter spoke, Carter knew what he was getting at and directly said, "About this question, we discussed it at halftime in the locker room. LeBron is afraid to take responsibility for losing, not wanting to handle the ball in the second half. I told him I’m not afraid to take responsibility, so in the second half, the ball was in my hands! That’s it, do you have anything else you want to ask?"

The questioning reporter couldn’t help but swallow his saliva and glanced to the side, where there were seven or eight other reporters who had also heard Carter’s response to the question. The look in their eyes scared the reporter.

He knew he had stirred up trouble!

He, who had originally intended to make Vince Carter look bad on behalf of LeBron, hurried to find LeBron...

When LeBron heard that Vince Carter dared to answer the question in such a way, his face also changed, looking as if he had been stabbed in the chrysanthemum, "How many reporters were with you when you interviewed Vince?"

"About seven or eight..." the reporter recalled.

It’s over!

LeBron’s face showed desperation, and he quickly contacted Bill Duffy, hoping he could block the news as much as possible, preventing it from spreading.

Bill Duffy’s grave voice came from the handset, "Tell me first, LeBron, is it true?"

"..."

LeBron fell silent, and so Bill Duffy understood, cursing heavily, "Damn..."

"Why would you react like that?" he couldn’t understand!

If it were Su Wan, faced with the same situation, there’d surely be no hesitation in demanding control of the ball, taking the team’s weight on his shoulders.
