Chapter 543: Chapter 228: Is LeBron Getting Better?_4

Isn’t that the case?

Channing Fleay had decided; this summer, when his contract expired, he would definitely leave the Cavaliers.

It was too much to bear here!

Especially now that LeBron had said such things, even if he made a shot, it wasn’t his own ability. It was because of LeBron’s trust in him and because he didn’t want to betray LeBron’s trust.

Seriously...

To hell with it!

After the game, Erin asked Su Wan, "If you were to describe this Cavaliers team, what would you say?"

Su Wan thought for a moment, "In the absence of a tiger in the mountains, the monkey is crowned king!"

Originally, he wanted to say "gorilla," but to avoid LeBron going to the media in tears, complaining about a personal attack, he ultimately chose to use the proverb as is.

If LeBron wanted to pick a fight over it, then it was nothing more than an ancient Huaxia proverb.

If they made a big issue out of this, where would Da Zhangwei dare to go to the United States?

Eh?

Had he visited after posting "Sunshine, rainbow, little white horse"?

This loss was exaggerated more and more by the Cleveland media, almost to the point of "noble in defeat." They believed this season was the smallest gap in strength between the Cavaliers and the Pacers.

Su Wan heard these "crazy words" from Cleveland as if they were the world’s biggest joke.

He admitted, the Cavaliers’ style was somewhat restraining for the Pacers.

But when he could tap into his hatred for Cleveland and activate "The zone" mode, sorry, this Cavaliers team was destined not to make any breakthroughs!

Therefore, he was very confident, "If the Cavaliers want to beat the Pacers, the first thing LeBron needs to do is to guard me at critical moments and dare to attack with the ball when facing me!"

"He doesn’t even dare to face his destiny, how can he overcome his inner demons?"

Su Wan’s words naturally stirred up opposition from Cleveland, but this time, Su Wan didn’t bother with them.

Whether it’s a mule or a horse, pulling it out for a stroll will tell.

The Pacers faced some injury problems and fluctuations in form during January. For a team that relied heavily on shooting, these fluctuations meant scoring instability.

Therefore, their win rate dropped to 50% during this time.

However, the Cavaliers also had a fluctuating record during this time.

So even though the Pacers only had 10 wins and 6 losses in January, the Cavaliers had just 11 wins and 5 losses, failing to seize on the Pacers’ downturn to overtake them in the rankings.

The Eastern Conference’s "Monthly Best Player Award" for January went to Dwight Howard.

In 15 games in January, he was terrifying, averaging 24 points, 13 rebounds, and 3 blocks.

Under his leadership, the Magic Team achieved the "best record" in the Eastern Conference with 12 wins and 3 losses, pushing past the Celtics to third place in the Eastern Conference. This was Howard’s first time as "Monthly Best Player" in his career, and it was also the first time a player from Orlando had won the award since McGrady.

Now the name "Superman" sounded even louder.

But this also upset Shaquille O’Neal, who directly blasted his former team’s "new pet" to the media, mocking, "Superman isn’t just a simple-minded, muscular man. At best, he’s a blue-collar superstar. Please don’t insult the title of Superman — it only belonged to Shaq at his peak..."

After he finished, he immediately thought of another figure and then said, "Of course, if Su Wan were to call himself that, there would be absolutely no problem!"

Howard was naturally not pleased, but as a rookie, he endured Shaquille O’Neal’s first attack.

Orlando’s media, however, was unwilling to let Howard be mistreated and immediately hit back, "If it weren’t for Kobe, you’d be nothing! Shaq, you’re not Superman, you’re just a lucky guy, so until you prove you can win a championship without Kobe, shut up, you Orlando deserter!"

Shaquille O’Neal naturally charged this account to Dwight Howard.

He awaited the next opportunity to fire at Howard.

On the first day of February, the League announced this year’s All-Star starters and reserve roster.

Su Wan, as "Ticket King," was named as a starter for the Eastern Conference guards.

Then Zach Randolph and Shaquille O’Neal were voted into the Eastern All-Star reserves by the coaches.

Zach Randolph, averaging 18.6 points and 10.4 rebounds for the season to date, ranked among the top power forwards in the Eastern Conference, comparable to Kevin Garnett’s stats.

Shaquille O’Neal played an average of 28.4 minutes per game, scoring 16.4 points and 7.6 rebounds — the numbers were just passable, but due to the overall decline at the five position in the League, his inclusion in the list was relatively uncontroversial.

Additionally, it’s worth mentioning that LeBron James, after six years in the League, was finally selected as an "All-Star starter."

He and Kevin Garnett were the two starting forwards for the Eastern All-Star.

This was thanks to little O’Neal’s injury and the Raptors’ decline in performance.

Of course, LeBron James had also brought some surprises to the outside world this season.

When the selection as an All-Star starter was officially confirmed, LeBron James nearly cried in front of the media.

After so many years, the coveted All-Star starting spot was finally his!

Additionally, this year, combining both Eastern and Western starters, there were a total of 6 players who entered the League in the ’03 class and beyond.
