Chapter 489 The Cavaliers' Great Change!
Shumpert has long been abandoned by the Zen master and left the New York Knicks with JR Smith, and it has been more than a year since he came to the Cavaliers. What can he know about the Knicks?

Coincidentally, James and his core members were also discussing about the Knicks and Xie Chen in secret. Shumpert came in at this time. Could it be that James' thoughts have been leaked to these role players?

James didn't know whether Shumpert knew what he was thinking, but Shumpert must have known something for daring to barge in so recklessly, so James took Shumpert's shoulders and led him out. He wanted to know why Shumpert was here, and then considered whether to let him stay in this room.

James took Shumpert out of the room, closed the door, and the two stood at the door talking.

James asked Shumpert: "You just said something about the New York Knicks, what made you so nervous?"

Shumpert did show a very serious look: "LeBron, do you know? We will face Xie and Anthony's New York Knicks in the first round of the playoffs! Haven't you noticed that the Knicks' recent record has been stagnant? They did it on purpose! They just want to meet us in the first round and then get rid of us!"

Hearing Shumpert's panic, James was very calm. Shumpert was very surprised why James didn't react at all after knowing such shocking news.

James put his hand on Shumpert's shoulder: "Who told you about this? Kevin Love? Irving? Or what did you hear when we talked last night?"

"What? You say you know it too?" Shumpert was even more shocked now.

James frowned. Since Shumpert wasn't eavesdropping on their speech, how did he find out about this problem, and he said it with certainty, which seemed to be very evidence-based.

Shumpert said quickly: "No, my mother just called me and told me."

"Your mother?" James was puzzled, "How could your mother know about the Knicks?"

Shumpert began to explain: "Today, my mother ran into the Knicks president Phil Jackson on the way to the mall. Of course my mother knew who he was. She always wanted me to play in New York. Even when I came here, she still didn't follow me in New York. When Phil Jackson sent me and JR here, she was very dissatisfied.

"So my mother grabbed his suit and scolded him, asking him why he sent me away in the first place, and calling him an idiot who couldn't use people. Phil was eager to leave and didn't dare to say anything to my mother. But when he explained, he accidentally slipped his mouth. He said, 'When we go to Cleveland to play the first round of the playoffs with the Cavaliers next month, I will personally apologize to Shumpert'."

"What? Phil, did he really say that? These are his original words?" James was shocked.

"Yes, that's what he said. My mother was also very strange at the time. Didn't the regular season just end next month? I kept telling her that we might play the Eastern Conference Finals against the Knicks and we would not be home until May, so she called and told me about it. I watched the Knicks games again and found that the Knicks were really suspected of letting go, so I guess Xie...wanted to hit you in this way!" Shumpert explained.

James sneered: "Even you can see that the Knicks are deliberately losing the game, and our coach is still obsessed with it. Can such a stupid coach really bring us a championship? Shumpert, are you willing to face the Knicks in the first round?"

When Shumpert thought of Xie Chen and Anthony, he immediately felt a little hypocritical: "Oh, of course not, although I have confidence in our team, but... if there is an eventuality, it would be too ugly to be out so early. LeBron, I know you want revenge, but we can't fall into the trap that Phil and Xie set up, we have to avoid them!"

James is now completely sure that Xie Chen is trying to blackmail him. He is too lazy to go back to the room to argue with Blatt. Blatt only has the record and the number one throne in the Eastern Conference. This person will not willingly let the Cavaliers fall to the second place in the Eastern Conference.

James said to Shumpert: "Go to the room and tell Blatt that I'm not feeling well and I'm going back to Cleveland. I can't participate in tomorrow's game. Also, no matter what happens next, stay calm and believe me. Everything is for the team and for the championship!"

After James finished speaking, he left in a hurry. They are in Miami now, and tomorrow they are going to play an away game with the Heat. Shumpert looked at James who was going away quickly with blurred eyes. What is so important that they will not even play the game?

When James returned to Cleveland, the first thing he did was to find the general manager of the Cavaliers, David Griffin. David Griffin had long wanted to fire Blatt. This idea had been in the All-Stars, especially after the big losses to the Warriors and Spurs. He doubted Blatt’s coaching ability.

James feels that the current Cavaliers cannot withstand such a big shock. They want a championship this season, so everything must be steady and win. Changing a head coach is no small matter. What if the new coach cannot help the Cavaliers?
Of course, James doesn’t like Blatt either, and he also hopes to fire the NBA rookie coach, but James hopes that former Warriors coach Mark Jackson will replace Blatt to coach the Cavaliers, because Mark Jackson signed James’ agency, but general manager David Griffin disagreed, so James also didn’t agree with David Griffin firing Blatt.

James went directly to David Griffin's house in the middle of the night and disturbed David Griffin's beautiful event. The wife of the general manager didn't pour James a glass of water and gave James a resentful look.

James was not in the mood to care about this, so he directly told David Griffin why he came.

David Griffin had long wanted to fire Blatt and support Tyronn Lue. When he heard that James was so angry and demanded that Blatt be dismissed from class, he said nothing else: "I didn't expect to thank this kid. He has such a vicious and vicious heart at a young age, and you haven't done anything to him. Why does he have to hack you? He stole our championship last year, and this year he defeated you to win the slam dunk contest. We should be angry!"

David Griffin sighed: "Since Blatt only cares about the aura of the number one coach in the East, I have no choice but to dismiss him, but Mark Jackson is not suitable to take over. I want assistant coach Tyronn Lue to take it first. What do you think?"

Tyronn Lue fully supported James' loss plan, so James agreed immediately.

The next day, the entire league received amazing news!

The Cavaliers have undergone tremendous changes overnight, Cavaliers head coach David Blatt, dismissed get out of class!
At the end of the regular season, such a major event really shocked the entire league!All fans who follow the NBA can't believe this is true, and they can't help asking, why?Why was Blatter fired?

Since Blatter became the head coach of the Cavaliers, he has achieved very good results. Last season, when the Cavaliers were plagued by injuries, he led the team to the finals. This season, so far, it is still the No. [-] team in the Eastern Conference. God, the head coach of the No. [-] team in the Eastern Conference has never been fired.

After Gene Shu and Len Scott, Blatt led the team to the finals in the previous season and dismissed the class in the next season. Looking at the entire NBA history, there are only three people, and Scott was fired because his winning percentage was less than [-]% before the All-Star Weekend. But the Cavaliers are different. The Cavaliers are the number one in the Eastern Conference.

After the news came out, the Israeli fans couldn't sit still first, and they attacked the Cavaliers one after another, and even pointed the finger at James. Some fans even cursed that James would never win the championship again.

David Blatter once led the Maccabi Tel Aviv team to win the European Basketball League championship, and served as the head coach of the Israeli national team, so Israeli fans support him very much.

Even KATZ, the small owner of the Heat, came to join in the fun. He said: "James also wanted to do the same thing with Spoelstra, but failed."

The meaning of the words is obviously that it is because of James that Blatter will be dismissed from get out of class, but this KATZ's words are not credible, and he is also a businessman from Israel. The big boss of the Heat, Alisson, has always wanted to buy his shares, but this guy does not sell.

All of a sudden, James and the Cavaliers were pushed to the forefront.

The Knicks naturally know about such a major event in the league.

"I really didn't expect that one of my plans would lead to such a major change in the Cavaliers! Phil, you must have known in advance, right? That's why we 'do our best to lose the game'." Xie Chen, Phil Jackson, and Anthony gathered together to talk about this matter. Xie Chen has been amazed for a long time.

Xie Chen never thought that one of his decisions would have such a big impact on James and the Cavaliers. He just wanted to avoid the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat as much as possible. He didn't want to face James. He is not stupid and has no grudge against James. Why would he do this?Why did James think that Xie Chen wanted to blackmail them?

Phil Jackson showed a kind smile, although everyone knew that he was definitely not a kind and loving old man, and that Blatt would be fired at this juncture must be fueled by Phil Jackson.

Phil laughed and said: "I heard some rumors in advance, and then passed on some news appropriately. Anyway, they have proved that Blatter cannot lead the Cavaliers to win the championship. It is better to end this unpleasant relationship as soon as possible."

Anthony is an upright person. Although he envies everything James has achieved, he still feels sorry for James. Anthony said: "It's a pity that the newly appointed Tyronn Lue can't lead the Cavaliers to win the championship. People have always said that Blatt's employers (JR Smith and Shumpert) are better than you. Now no one will say that. Of course, I am happy to see Blatt get out of get out of class. The Cavaliers' chaos gave us the Knicks a chance. If we meet in the playoffs, I believe the odds of winning will be greater."

Xie Chen nodded. Tyronn Lue only entered the coaching industry in 09. Before that, he was known as the background emperor under Iverson's legs. To this day, some people still mention Tyronn Lue: "Look, this is the guy who was stepped over by Iverson."

But after that, he and Iverson became good friends.

Tyronn Lue used to be an assistant coach for the Clippers. He was recruited by the Cavaliers last year as the chief assistant coach. He has no experience as a head coach. Now let him take office, and it will be the playoffs next month.
"Tyron Lue is indeed a bit easier to deal with than Blatt. If I meet the Cavaliers in the playoffs this year, I will probably be stared to death. Everyone in them must hate me now. They think I want to black them. James must want to eat me." Xie Chen really wanted to say, I don't want to take the blame!

Anthony patted Xie Chen on the shoulder: "Shall I call LeBron to clarify?"

"Don't." Phil Jackson who spoke, "Let him think that we have black eight ideas and plans, it doesn't matter, let's see what they will do next, if they make the Raptors a scapegoat in order to avoid us, that would be too interesting. It's a pity that those outside fans who don't know the truth don't know what kind of game it is now. It would be more interesting if they could understand."

What Phil Jackson means is that people are looking forward to the newly appointed Tyronn Lue to see his strength and see if he can lead the team to victory, but the reality is that Tyronn Lue's task now is to make the Cavaliers lose.

Sure enough, in Tyronn Lue's first game in office, he played an away game against the Miami Heat, and was beaten by the Heat by more than 20 points, giving the Heat a victory.

Fans began to criticize Tyronn Lue wildly, and he was far worse than Blatt. Did the general manager of the Cavaliers lose his head and fire the head coach who helped them get the number one in the Eastern Conference?There is no reason for this!

However, in any case, Blatter's dismissal has become an unchangeable fact, and Blatter himself has not said anything about it.

However, when Blatter left, he kept saying Xie Chen's name. He felt that without Xie Chen, he would not have been fired.

Xie Chen was also very guilty of Blatter, anyway, it was because of his own plan that he was fired, so Xie Chen found his contact information and wanted to express his condolences, but he didn't appreciate it at all.

"I locked the basket on the Cavaliers and your Knicks. I took the key. Goodbye!"

Blatter called again.

"None of you can win the championship this season! The Spurs are 50 times stronger than you! The Warriors are 100 times stronger than you!!" shouted hoarsely.
