Chapter 607: Chapter 241: LeBron, Who’s Your Daddy!_3

Seeing him criticize Su Wan like this is really speechless, the New York Times directly said, "So LeBron, when you play like this, do your teammates feel speechless?"

Barkley even said, "Su Wan only played like this in the All-Star game, but LeBron, you play like this during the regular season!"

So where does he get the face to criticize Su Wan?

LeBron didn’t expect that he had once again got himself burned.

Hence, after the All-Star Weekend, he kept a low profile for some time.

But...

This is the playing style etched in his genes, he wanted to change, but really...

He couldn’t change!

Watching the ball leave his hands without turning into stats, he really couldn’t control his desire to keep holding the ball.

As everyone knows, LeBron has a very frugal public image.

And this image manifests on the court as:

If the shot doesn’t directly convert into stats, he’d rather keep the ball in his hands.

Until an opportunity arises.

Therefore, as the focus of the outside world no longer centered on him,

He unknowingly exposed his true nature again.

Su Wan’s "unintentional" reminder after the game, and the next morning, the term "LeBron’s playing style" once again topped the hot search all over the United States.

The New York Times followed Su Wan’s footsteps more punctually, and they immediately published an article:

"LeBron plays the most comprehensive style of basketball, but it’s the most selfish!"

Barkley also bluntly said, "If I had played like this when I was with the Phoenix Suns, I could have averaged a 40-point triple-double per game, but I know that playing like this, my teammates wouldn’t perform well!"

LeBron was denounced again, and even his all-around stats were questioned.

Some media even believed that the reason Jia Misen hadn’t performed well since joining the Cavaliers was because LeBron had always monopolized the ball.

He felt desperate.

That afternoon, after dealing with the media, he stood at the entrance of the locker room, listening to the laughter inside, he felt incredibly lonely.

Damn it!

I’ve brought you guys to the top of the Eastern Conference.

You guys?

While I’m facing criticism, you’re here having a great time, acting as if nothing happened.

Can’t you defend me in front of the media cameras?

Or maybe say something like "I’m happy working with LeBron"?

A bunch of leeches!

You always depend on me to win games, but at critical moments, you’re no help at all!

A surge of uncontrollable disgust suddenly welled up in LeBron’s heart.

Now he not only hated Cleveland, hated the Cavaliers, but also hated these teammates.

Can I get some strong teammates?

Like Dwyane Wade, like Carmelo Anthony, like Chris Bosh!

Luckily, Bill Duffy managed to secure some positive press for him at this time, and a lot of media outlets vindicated him:

"It’s not that LeBron wants to play this way, but it’s the Cavaliers’ roster that forces him to play like this, he can handle various systems, and the style he has chosen is what suits the team best!"

LeBron’s mood significantly improved amidst this backlash, and he answered questions with an air of maturity:

"Yes, this is me, I’m not limited to just one style of play, everybody knows that, I can adapt to any system, the way I play is what suits the current Cavaliers the best, and us leading the Eastern Conference is the evidence!"

The counterattack was quite successful.

Just as LeBron said, they were on top of the Eastern Conference, and the record could silence any doubts.

Having dispelled the wave of doubts, LeBron could once again comfortably, no, happily lead the team to victory in his favorite environment.

In late March, the Cavaliers caught a favorable schedule and went on a tear, and during this period, LeBron racked up several "30-plus" triple-doubles, ultimately leading the Cavaliers to a 12-3 record for the entire month and winning the Monthly Best Player Award again.

In the Eastern Conference, the two players who had won the "Monthly Best" award that season were Su Wan and LeBron.

The Cleveland media went crazy, they felt that LeBron had never been so close to the regular season MVP, and started constantly issuing statements to garner support for LeBron to win the regular season MVP.

Unfortunately...

The media outside was more optimistic about Kobe winning this season’s regular season MVP.

Because after the Lakers finished their games at the end of March, they had only lost 7 games and, with 8 games left in the regular season, they could possibly set the record for the best regular season ever.

If that really happened...

Then this year’s regular season MVP would be a foregone conclusion!

Even if they just tied the historical record, there wouldn’t be much suspense, because the past two times a team achieved a 72-10 record, their leading star won the regular season MVP.

Once it was Michael Jordan, and the other time it was the recent Su Wan.

So, all of Los Angeles was very confident that Kobe would win this year’s regular season MVP, as long as the Lakers achieved a 72-win record.

By comparison, Su Wan and the Pacers had somewhat less exposure than these two teams at this time.

Currently, the Pacers are second in the Eastern Conference, 4 wins behind the first-placed Cavaliers. Given that there are only 8 games left in the regular season, the chances of catching up are slim.

Moreover, the Pacers are not a team that places much emphasis on home and away games.
