Chapter 488: Chapter 217: You Should Reflect on Yourself, Chosen One!_4

The better-recorded Cavaliers, however, suffered a brutal "slaughter" in the round.

Boos filled the air outside.

This outcome was expected.

But during the game, they found that the Cavaliers were not completely without chance.

But LeBron didn’t seize it...

After Game 3, there were many voices mocking LeBron James.

Saying things like, "Even given the chance, you’re useless," "The Chosen One is the league’s biggest joke," clearly affected LeBron’s mentality, so much so that his performance in Game 4 was very poor...

Alright, one thing must be mentioned: in Game 4, LeBron obviously had fewer whistles. In the first three games, he would have at least 3 calls by the end of the first quarter; this time, he only managed to get 6 free throw opportunities for the whole game.

With whistle protection, the Pacers inevitably had some apprehension on defense and were very cautious, making it relatively easier for LeBron.

But without whistle protection, the Pacers were even more unrestrained, which is why LeBron only scored 13 points in Game 4.

The New York Times stated, "We should have a correct understanding of LeBron James by now. If we still regard him as a player like Michael Jordan, that’s disrespectful to Michael. In fact, even comparing LeBron to Scottie Pippen is now questionable! LeBron James’s spirit is even more fragile than Scottie’s!"

Barkley also said, "LeBron has proved once again that he can never give the right answer in crucial moments. Honestly, even if they lose, if LeBron could have produced a glamorous stat line in this game, I would think he’s grown. But he didn’t. He continued to perform worse and worse in the series against Su Wan!"

LeBron’s performance in the previous games was not bad, but adding the last terrible performance, his final average stats in this series were only 23.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, and 4.5 turnovers.

As the team’s core player, this stat line is merely mediocre.

If you’re looking at it from the "Chosen One" perspective, it’s a mess.

Especially compared to Su Wan’s average of 35.5 points, 7 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks.

The gap...

Widens infinitely!

LeBron probably noticed the media’s increasingly low opinion of him, and at the post-game press conference, he said directly,

"I’ve been trying to attack the Pacers’ interior, constantly putting pressure on them. I’m the most effective ball-handler for the Cavaliers. If you pay attention to the plus-minus, you’ll find that mine is the best on the Cavaliers. I broke through the Pacers’ intense defense, found my open teammates, my playing style achieved the tactical purpose, it’s just the shots didn’t go in, that’s not something I can decide on my own!"

"The Pacers are different, Foster is positioning, Zach Randolph can power-play with the ball down low, and other players, they all have their roles, they play more like a team, and that is the fundamental reason the Cavaliers lost!"

Wouldn’t the Cavaliers perform better if Vince Carter revolved around me? freēwēbnovel.com

Damn it!

In the end, he cursed bitterly in his heart.

When Shaquille O’Neal heard his remarks, he immediately hit back in New Jersey, "Stop blaming your teammates, LeBron!"

"Why is it always a problem with players you play with?"

"And how can a player like Zach gel so perfectly with Su Wan?"

"I don’t mean to offend Zach, but we all know what kind of player Zach Randolph was with the Blazers, in New York!"

"But the change we’ve seen in him in Indiana, everyone’s seen it, and that’s where LeBron falls short compared to Su Wan!"

"Danny Ferri has traded around the entire league for you, but you always fail to get along with your new teammates, that’s LeBron’s biggest problem!"

"You should reflect on that, Chosen One!"

A statement that woke up many!

Shaquille O’Neal’s words suddenly made the media realize.

Right!

Why has Zach Randolph become more positive on the court since joining the Pacers?

And it seems that since going to Indiana, he hasn’t caused any trouble off the court!

Could this be...

A reformed man?

"What kind of charm does Su Wan possess?"

This was the question posed by the New York Times the next day.

Because...

That same day, news of Ron Artest being arrested by the police for speeding in New York city hit the newspapers.

While in Indiana, especially after the "Auburn Palace incident," there hadn’t been any similar incidents.

The notoriously bad Randolph went to Indiana and turned into a "good boy."

The "former reformed representative" Artest, who had just left Indiana for New York, got arrested.

The stark contrast makes it clear whose credit it is!

Larry Bird added fuel to the fire at this point, "When I was hesitant about getting Zach Randolph, Su Wan told me, ’Indiana is a city of redemption; Zach will be reborn here.’"

"And then... it all happened!"

"Su Wan proved he was right!"

With that, Su Wan was even more elevated to the pedestal of a God.
