Chapter 130 The Thrilling LeBron James

LeBron James is in a bad mood recently. In fact, he hasn't been in a good mood in the past few years. His current situation is the same as when Kevin Garnett was trapped in the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Under his leadership, the team was able to enter the playoffs, but it failed in the playoffs every year. It is the seventh year since it entered the league. Although it has entered the finals, it always fell short at the last moment.

In the 2005-2006 season, he led the Cavaliers to the playoffs for the first time, averaging 30.8 points, 8.1 rebounds and 5.8 assists in the playoffs, but was eliminated by the Pistons in the second round;

In the 2006-2007 season, he led the Cavaliers to become the second-seeded team in the NBA Eastern Conference with 50 wins. In the playoffs, the Cavaliers defeated the Wizards (4-0), Nets (4-2) and Pistons (4-2). -[-]), led the Cavaliers to the finals for the first time. In the finals, they were swept by the Spurs!

In the 2007-2008 season, he led the team to the playoffs with a record of 45 wins and 37 losses. They faced the Wizards in the first round and defeated their opponents 4-2 in total games. They eliminated the Wizards in the playoffs for three consecutive years. .But in the second round, facing the Celtics, who had the Big Three, the Cavaliers forced the Celtics to enter the seventh game. Unfortunately, they lost in the seventh game with a total score of 3 to 4 and failed to win again. further;
Last season, he led the Cavaliers to the league's best record of 66 wins and 16 losses, and he also won the first regular season MVP trophy of his career this year.

季后赛中的骑士队以4比0先后击退活塞及老鹰率先晋身NBA东部决赛，对手是魔术。这个系列赛里詹姆斯打出了场均38.5分（48.7%命中率）8.3篮板8助攻。但最终骑士还是以总场数2比4负于魔术。

This season, the Cavaliers made reinforcements during the offseason and introduced the 38-year-old Shaquille O'Neal. Since the start of the new season, he led the Cavaliers to once again proud of the league with a record of 18 wins and 5 losses, but he is still worried.

The five games they lost were against strong teams, Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, Los Angeles Lakers, and even the San Antonio Spurs. In trouble.

How many seven years are there in life, how many seven years are there in a player's career, James feels deeply confused about his future, whether he wants loyalty or historical status?

这个时候尼克斯的新秀进入了他的眼中，2009年2月4日作客对尼克斯的赛事中，他几乎完成自1975年贾巴尔以来个人得分超过50分的三双，在比赛中取得52分、11次助攻及9个篮板。

But it was still not finished after all, but the Knicks rookie faced the Magic team led by Howard, and even scored a 50+ triple-double that even he couldn't do!

He knows how strong the Magic are. Why did the Cavaliers introduce the aging shark? Isn't it just to deal with Howard, a monster?
In the Eastern Conference finals last season, their team faced the Orlando Magic. Warcraft showed absolute dominance in the penalty area, almost supporting the Magic's defensive system with one person.

On the offensive end, Howard single-handedly overwhelmed the Cavaliers' inside line, scoring goals like chopping melons and vegetables against Big Z and Varejao's attacks.

Facing such a powerful Magic and such a powerful inside no-fly zone, Gatsby, a rookie, scored a 50+ triple-double and accomplished something that he himself could not do!
James couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Only he knows how difficult it is to get this statistic, and Gates is weaker than this rookie. + Triple-double, James became very interested in Gatsby, he asked a videographer to dig out Gatsby's previous game video, James was shocked.

Unlike him, the proud man of heaven, Gatsby's starting point for entering the league was too low:

He became a monk halfway through, lost in the draft, barely signed by the Knicks, started as a fringe player, and was so weak that he could only play 20 minutes per game at the beginning. Just such a rookie, he rose and grew at the speed of a comet. As a quasi-star with an average of 20+9 per game, he even scored 30+10 in many recent games. Yesterday's game was even too much, directly scoring Zhengu Shuojin's 50+ triple-double!

How amazing!
How outrageous!

James carefully watched all the videos about Gatsby edited by the videographer. After watching, he fell into deep thought. He saw the omnipotence in Gatsby. player, but his awareness is definitely the best among them.

Accurate three-pointers, sharp breakthroughs, as accurate as a scalpel in assists, brains on the court, dense defense and aggressive off-ball skills, except for those dunks, folding layups, and crushing opponents' breakthroughs that rely heavily on physical fitness. Cibi showed all-round qualities.

In particular, Gatsby's killer nature and his murderous and decisive temperament at critical moments shocked James even more.

"Knicks?" James couldn't help but be moved. New York has long offered an olive branch to James. James Dolan has publicly solicited him many times, and even hired an economist to help him calculate how much more money he can earn after arriving in New York. James He was a little hesitant before, because what he wants more at this stage is the championship.

However, because the Knicks were a mess last season, what kind of rags in the locker room, and a lot of rubbish big contracts, James was discouraged. However, this season, Donny Walsh's work is in James' eyes.

Constantly operate to get rid of big contracts and trade for big contracts that are about to expire. The 10-11 season is a brand new start for the Knicks. The Knicks still have a very good foundation. If they pass by themselves, they can recruit one or two more A superstar, and then attracting capable veterans to join, is a proper championship team!
More importantly, the Knicks got lucky this year and signed Gatsby, an undrafted pick. After more than 20 regular season games, Gatsby has become a rising superstar in the league. If he goes to the Knicks , with the help of a teammate like Gatsby, the championship he has been looking forward to for many years should not be too far away, right?
James stared blankly at the TV, and after a long time, he picked up his cell phone and made a call.
