Chapter 547: Chapter 229 Another Hunter is Born!_3

The Chicago media at the scene hastily captured the moment with their cameras.

During this period, the League announced the "Best General Manager" and "Best Coach" of the season.

Both awards went to the Pacers.

The "Best General Manager" needs no further explanation.

If Larry Bird, who rebuilt the team with a single trade, didn’t win this year’s award, the Indiana media would suggest the League should abolish the award.

Rick Carlisle won this award for the second time in his career.

The last time was when the Pacers finished with a 72-10 record, tying the "best historical record" for the season.

This season he narrowly defeated Mike Brown.

The reason was:

The stability of the Pacers’ locker room couldn’t be separated from Rick Carlisle.

If it were Mike Brown coaching this Pacers team, the locker room would have probably blown up by now!

Look...

It’s not just the players; what type of players a head coach encounters also determines his career.

This coach, not adept at dealing with superstars, became the "God of stabilizing the locker room in Ancient Greece" because of Su Wan’s presence in the locker room!

He also defeated Mike Brown with this ability and won this year’s "Best Coach Award"!

If the former Rick Carlisle knew this...

He would certainly tell his current self: Shouldn’t you be kneeling before Su Wan right now?

After the Pacers entered the second round, the Cavaliers quickly eliminated the Pistons 4-1 and advanced to the second round of the playoffs. Glancing at their neighbors, the Magic Team:

Huh~

They still need to play another game to advance?

What else is there to say?

"Dominantly advancing to the semi-finals, LeBron James enters his peak!"

"Ousting the Pistons once more, LeBron proves that without Shaquille O’Neal, they can’t stop his progress!"

"The Cavaliers’ only goal this postseason is to defeat the Pacers for revenge!"

"Pacers, don’t think you’re safe, LeBron and the Cavaliers have targeted you!"

...

LeBron’s Team and the Cleveland media don’t have the Magic Team on their radar at all.

The reports either boast how LeBron has entered his true peak career-wise, or they’re fantasizing about the Cavaliers advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals, defeating the Pacers, getting their revenge, and having the most exhilarating season.

After that, the Magic Team knocked out the Heat Team 4-2 and successfully met up with them.

By defeating the Heat Team, Stan Van Gundy got a huge weight off his chest.

Facing the Clevelanders’ scorn, the Orlando media were naturally indignant.

Like the Cleveland media, the people of Orlando also believed this was their most hopeful season.

As for the outside world, there was a lot of discussion about this playoff series.

The "No.1 Pick" from ’03 and the "No.1 Pick" from ’04 were meeting on the playoff stage for the first time...

Just from the exposure Howard and LeBron James have had since entering the League, you can tell how much of a boost "The Chosen One" and Nike have given to LeBron.

Both were high school "No.1 Picks", both chosen by small-market teams.

Yet, Howard’s first two years barely garnered much attention, even though he also averaged a double-double at the age of 18. Compared to LeBron’s off-court exposure, the difference was like night and day.

LeBron was pegged as the future face of the League as soon as he entered it.

As for Howard...

There was a fair amount of skepticism from the media when the Magic Team made their choice at the time.

It wasn’t until a photo of "kissing the rim" amazingly surfaced that Howard’s talent was fully acknowledged.

Honestly, if Howard had Nike’s team backing him, that "kissing the rim" photo would probably have gone viral long ago.

Perhaps feeling that Howard’s popularity had just started to rise in the last two years and couldn’t challenge his own, LeBron James was also very confident about this series.

Like the Cleveland media, he was already studying how to play against the Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.

He was even "worried" for the Pacers; what could they do if they lose to the Celtics and fail to meet him in the Eastern Finals?

It wasn’t until the fourth game of the Hawks and Celtics series, when Kevin Garnett suddenly suffered an injury, ending his season and worsening the situation for the Celtics, that he was sure the Pacers would definitely advance to the Eastern Finals.

Whether it’s the Celtics or the Hawks that advance, the team that emerges wouldn’t possess the capabilities to compete in the second round of the playoffs.

LeBron admits Su Wan’s luck is insanely good.

Unlike his own constant struggle against fate!

But he also believes that Su Wan’s luck will end this season. The playoff games will become more intense, which will definitely cause Shaquille O’Neal to fall into a physical crisis. By the Eastern Conference Finals, the Cavaliers will find a breakthrough by targeting his movement speed, defeat the Pacers to get their revenge, and move into the Finals!

And incidentally take down Kobe as well!

That would be the perfect season for him, LeBron!

Of course, he also knows that the first thing he needs to do is to take care of the current Magic Team!

What caliber, rising to "No.1 Pick" straight from high school like me!

He will use this game today to tell everyone, and to tell Howard:

There are differences even among high school draftee No.1 Picks.
