The Way of Basketball: Never Talk Shit to Him!

Chapter 465: Chapter 213: He Never Expected the Indiana Dynasty to End This Way

LeBron was trampled in the dirt once more.

This proved one thing:

Whenever he encountered Su Wan this season, nothing good happened for the Cavaliers.

Su Wan, LeBron’s "bane," completely dominated him!

It wasn’t just humiliating LeBron on the court, but also affected his aura, making him seem like he was possessed by a declining star, sparking controversial incidents.

Even now, two days later, some Cleveland media still couldn’t believe that LeBron even dared not say "I want the ball" in front of Vince Carter.

Really...

Upon seeing the news, Su Wan tweeted:

—The sun is fierce, everything is revealed!

He casually cleared his Twitter inbox.

Eager female fans often sent him imaginative photos and star-studded videos, hoping to catch his attention.

Unfortunately, they were mistaken.

Su Wan was a serious person.

Even if he looked at them, he critiqued the photos and videos they sent.

Just now...

He critiqued another batch of photos and videos.

Then he saw a private message from Gu Hara, informing him that she was preparing to enter DSP Company’s audition.

Su Wan casually replied with a "Good luck."

He then saw a message from Yui Aragaki from a month ago.

Last year, her starring role in "Love Sky" had grossed 3.9 billion yen in Japan, and her career was taking off, with back-to-back appointments keeping her as busy as a spinning top, recently not sending him messages.

But Su Wan thought, that burst of busyness had passed.

That’s what artistic women are like.

He wasn’t too affected; a star of Yui Aragaki’s caliber, if she threw herself at him, he wouldn’t say no. But if she wanted to fade into obscurity, Su Wan could quickly forget the deep talks they had shared.

His comment on Twitter quickly sparked a heated discussion, and just after arriving at the stadium that afternoon, a reporter asked him if his comment was hinting that LeBron was always like this, just previously well-packaged so no one noticed.

Su Wan shook his head, "Not hinting!"

Wasn’t that clear?

By now, Cleveland’s media should have immediately started shouting back on LeBron’s behalf.

Some of them did exactly that.

But interestingly, this time, the Cleveland media that fired back were significantly fewer.

Vince Carter’s recent bombshell had an unprecedented impact on LeBron.

Previously, whether it was Su Wan, Zhu Fangyu, or Shaquille,

They mainly made the media and casual fans change their impression of LeBron.

Simply put, they ruined his public sympathy.

That was the fundamental reason he hadn’t started in the All-Star game until now.

And this time...

The greater damage was done by Cleveland’s media.

LeBron’s "cowardly lizard" side shattered their beautiful illusions of the future.

Perhaps that was why LeBron’s community service activities in Cleveland had noticeably increased recently, and he kept emphasizing, "I will definitely bring Cleveland a Championship Trophy, I certainly will, no matter how many years it takes, I will make it happen!"

This "Championship Declaration" had a significant effect; soon after, the "Cleveland Plain Dealer" published an article saying, "Regardless, LeBron is only 24 years old. He has plenty of time to prove himself. Michael Jordan also took 7 years to win his first Championship Trophy in his career!"

Then the Cavaliers encountered a "sweet schedule," with weak opponents popping up one after another; they successfully pulled off a "7 wins, 3 losses" record.

LeBron’s ability to dominate weaker opponents goes without saying, averaging 28.4 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 1.4 steals, and 1 block with a 48.9% field goal percentage!

His consistent standout performances successfully salvaged his reputation value.

LeBron was overjoyed.

Bill Duffy saw him getting cocky again and quickly reminded him, "Buddy, keep up the current momentum and focus, you don’t need to explain anything, everything will head in the right direction!"

LeBron felt like a "king" being held hostage at that moment and inwardly cursed:

I’ll replace you someday!

During this time, Vince Carter’s relationship with him hadn’t improved, their on-court relationship resembled last year’s between Shaquille and LeBron, reaching a delicate balance.

They both dominated in their own styles.

So, Vince Carter’s performance in the past 10 games was also quite good, averaging 23.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.2 steals.

Added to that were contributions from Quentin and Channing Frye.

This team’s offensive firepower was indeed fierce.

Typically, such teams are ruthless against weaker opponents, but when facing strong teams, they can only hope for the best.

The three losses, without exception, were all against top four teams from both conferences.

Vince Carter wasn’t bothered by the losses; he was just going through the motions, planning to request a trade after this season. "UFO" was straightforward; he found it difficult to work with players like LeBron.

And...

Remembering how he had praised LeBron in front of the media, he suddenly felt nauseous:

I was too young back then!

Couldn’t tell a man from a dog!

During this period, the Pacers maintained their strong stance.

Even though Artest had taken some of the ball handling responsibilities, it didn’t affect the team’s normal operation most of the time.
