Chapter 614: Chapter 242 "Black Eight Miracle"_5

LeBron now couldn’t compare to Su Wan, not only in on-court performance, honors, and team-leading achievements, but also in spirit if he were to leave the Cavaliers under these circumstances.

That would truly be a killing blow!

They debated whether LeBron would leave or not, yet Quicken Loans Arena was silent.

All Clevelanders watched LeBron walk into the home team’s tunnel with complex expressions.

At this moment, they wanted to say something to LeBron.

But they didn’t know what to say.

Cavaliers fans were a bit dissatisfied with LeBron tonight.

They thought if LeBron had performed better, the Cavaliers wouldn’t have lost tonight.

LeBron’s performance tonight disappointed them.

But...

Thinking that he was the City Son of this city, recalling the attention he had brought to the Cavaliers over the years, they hoped that LeBron would sign his third contract with the Cavaliers this summer.

Stay and pull the team out of the "abyss."

Just like...

They didn’t want to mention that name.

But the fact that two years ago Su Wan chose to stay, moved so many from Indiana, made many Clevelanders envious.

Who wouldn’t want their city’s City Son to be as devoted as Su Wan?

They believed LeBron would not disappoint them.

LeBron’s figure disappeared into the home team’s tunnel.

When the reporters saw him, they immediately rushed forward, but were held back by staff. LeBron walked into the locker room without expression, locked the door, and no one could enter. No one knew what happened inside, only LeBron was there. Ten minutes later, LeBron came out. Some reporters could see LeBron’s red eyes. They could roughly guess what had happened after LeBron entered the locker room.

During the subsequent interview, the hoarseness in LeBron’s voice also proved this.

Suddenly a reporter asked, "LeBron, do you want to get revenge on the Bulls?"

This question was essentially asking, "LeBron, are you going to leave?"

LeBron responded almost instantly, "Of course, without a doubt. No one can question my competitive spirit; I even want to face the Bulls again right now! This is not our true strength, it definitely isn’t!"

By the end of it, LeBron couldn’t sit still anymore.

Seeing his manner and hearing his answer, the Cleveland media felt much reassured.

They believed that LeBron would definitely sign with the Cavaliers this summer!

Meanwhile, Richie Paul stepped out of Cleveland’s airport, glanced at his phone for the latest news, and his face showed helplessness.

They lost again!

Defeated by "Black Eight"...

He knew this return was a challenge.

But he had not expected the challenge to be this daunting.

LeBron James’ reputation had declined compared to two years ago, and now it was probably on par with an ordinary Super Star. This "Black Eight" defeat would likely be another hit to his reputation.

The road ahead...

How should he navigate it?

Richie Paul’s face was full of difficulty.

The next morning, the news of the Cavaliers getting "Black Eight" surged to the top of the national hot search, giving the Los Angeles people some good news.

Whether the Lakers could win the championship was one thing, but the Cavaliers having secured 65 wins and then being defeated by "Black Eight" was now a fact,

They would surely relish mocking them.

The "New York Daily" once again mentioned the title of Chosen One: "Is this the Chosen One’s ability to withstand pressure? Would God know choosing such a child for pressure endurance might be infuriating?"

Already leading the Pacers into the second round, waiting for Hawks and Heat Team to determine the final winner, Su Wan commented on the Cavaliers’ final elimination: "Even after Sean announced his return when we were down 1-3, I knew, given LeBron’s mental toughness, it’d be hard for him to achieve a major turnaround, but him not winning even one game and getting directly eliminated still surprised me a bit, I can only say... after all these years, he really hasn’t improved at all!"

Shaquille O’Neal took the opportunity and harshly commented: "See? I’ve been saying it, if his development environment were given to Kwame Brown, letting him play with Michael during his rookie season, then this biggest flop title would be his!"

Su Wan thought about it, he didn’t agree with Shaquille O’Neal’s comment.

There’s also a possibility that Jordan would have diminished Pippen, turning him unconsciously into a "Spot Shooter".

Hmm... fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

With the Cavaliers eliminated, the playoffs’ greatest "entertainment" became about the Lakers.

Everyone wanted to see if they would become the first NBA team to win 72 games in the regular season but not secure a championship. However, this didn’t affect the Lakers eliminating the Thunder Team 4-0.

Kevin Durant might have secured the "Scoring King", but he was still too young in front of Kobe.

At the same time, Hawks eliminated the Heat Team 4-2.

Wade said after the match, a classic hard phrase:

"This is the last time I get eliminated in the first round in my career!"
