Chapter 674: Chapter 254: What level are you, and what level is Su Wan? Are you qualified to have a conflict with him? _5

Kenny Smith said, "Throughout the games in December, many players from the New York Knicks have shown growth which has stabilized their scoring; this was key to the Heat Team not being able to close the gap!"

The Heat Team started off poorly, but their performance improved in the second half.

The reason they couldn’t close the gap lies in what Bill Walton said about the Knicks’ more stable scoring ability.

Su Wan scored 35 points, six rebounds, and five assists in this game, which was a normal performance.

Tonight, the Knicks managed to defeat the Heat Team by leveraging the strength of their entire team.

Besides Su Wan, Stephen Curry scored 21 points, Danilo Gallinari scored 17 points, Artest also returned to form with 18 points, and Tyson Chandler added 14 points...

Compared to the Knicks’ multi-faceted scoring, the Heat Team relied mainly on Wade and Chris Bosh, who together scored 58 points but still fell short.

After losing the "second battle" with the Knicks, news quickly spread from Chicago:

They had won tonight’s game.

The Bulls’ record now matched that of the Heat Team.

Two days later, in the game where both teams met, the Bulls, bolstered by their entire team, defeated the Heat Team 100 to 88.

The manner in which the Heat Team lost this game was identical to their previous loss to the New York Knicks...

Both times, relying heavily on Wade and Chris Bosh, but other players on the Heat Team couldn’t provide enough support.

The moment LeBron James had been waiting for finally arrived...

Miami’s media began repeatedly mentioning LeBron’s name.

LeBron’s coverage suddenly increased:

"I believe that upon my return, I can solve all the problems the Heat Team is currently facing!"

"The Heat Team is currently missing a capable ball handler, and I am that player!"

"The reason the Heat Team lost to the Knicks and the Bulls in both games is because they were missing me!"

...

His statements successfully stirred ample attention.

The entire Miami had the highest expectations for him since he joined.

LeBron felt that all the hardships he had suffered were worth it.

Su Wan also noticed the commotion; he wanted to say something but after some thought, decided to quietly enjoy the show, and he had already made his predictions earlier.

However, he didn’t speak out to ridicule, but someone did ridicule LeBron.

This time it wasn’t Shaquille.

It was...

"The Cleveland Plain Dealer"!

"Miami People are a bunch of naive fools for believing LeBron’s nonsense. From 2003 to 2010, during LeBron’s eight years with the Cavaliers, did you ever see him make a miraculous turnaround?"

"If he couldn’t accomplish these things in Cleveland, why would Miami People so easily believe his tall tales?"

"LeBron has never had the ability to turn things around, but when it comes to making things worse, he never disappoints!"

"Just wait and see; the facts will show how ludicrous it is for people to expect this cowardly traitor to improve the team!"

Can you believe it?

This was the opinion of LeBron from "The Cleveland Plain Dealer," which once adored him.

Not just Su Wan, but the entire League was astounded.

Cleveland’s hatred!

What could LeBron say?

Indeed, Cleveland was a bunch of madmen; if they couldn’t have something, they wanted to destroy it.

But I, LeBron, will definitely not let you have your way!

Approaching his comeback, LeBron James had been seen more frequently in... the gym!

Touching his swollen muscles, LeBron had a confident smile on his face.

Just you wait, whether it’s those who scorn him or those who await him, this time... he will surely become the Heat Team’s "Savior."

One thing he was even more certain of:

Chris Bosh and Wade were both very capable and could be his allies!

With such support, he was very confident he could achieve the same success as Su Wan, and to reclaim the Eastern Conference’s top spot for the Heat Team would be a piece of cake!

On December 25, the New York Knicks hosted the "Christmas Battle" against the Lakers.

This summer, the Lakers faced turmoil; Yao Ming’s stress fracture caused the Lakers to be cautious, offering only a three-year contract with an annual average of 11 million, with the last two years being team options.

"Yao’s team" wasn’t satisfied, but after checking the market, they realized this was the best deal available.

Eventually, Yao Ming chose to renew.

Yet, this meant the Lakers would continue to rely on Kobe and Paul Gasol as their main duo this year, currently ranking third in the Western.

Ultimately, the in-form New York Knicks won the match, adding to their "9-game winning streak." freeωebnovēl.c૦m

After Christmas, the Knicks’ winning streak finally ended.

They finished the post-Christmas schedule with 1 win and 2 losses.

On January 1st, all eyes in the League were on Miami.

The man who had been suspended for 30 games was about to play his first game of the new season and his debut with the Heat Team.
