Basketball: The Chosen Victim

Chapter 201 Lao Zhan's Tears!
"You never consider other people's feelings"

"You only know your own pain"

The MVP awards ceremony is scheduled for G4. Before the G3 game, Cavaliers general manager Grant got Kelly Clarkson to sing "Because of You" live.

You can't invite a pop singer like Rihanna, but Kelly, who was born as a bar waiter, is more sincere:
"I won't repeat your mistakes"

"I will not interfere with the way you choose"

"You lament how difficult life is"

"And I've suffered enough"

"So I won't let myself make the same mistake over and over again"

In the darkness, only Sister Kelly in a white dress stood under the spotlight and sang softly, floating in the huge arena like the sounds of nature.

The originally noisy auditorium gradually fell into silence, and the emotions hidden in my heart were aroused by the thousands of times of singing.

"because of you"

"I never dare to deviate from the track of life by half a point"

"because of you"

"I find it hard to trust others, even myself"

"I can't cry"

"Because I know, in your eyes, this is cowardice"

"I was forced to smile every day after that"

"My heart can't be broken anymore"

"Because it was no longer whole at the beginning"

"because of you"

"I'm so scared"

"I've watched you fade away"

"I hear you crying in your sleep every night"

"I'm too young"

"You should have understood that you can't rely on me..."

On the big screen in the air, the on-site director showed the picture to LeBron James standing on the sidelines.

He couldn't bear it any longer and lowered his head, wiping away the tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.

His cheeks were bulging, and he was trying his best to endure the emotions that were about to explode. Wade patted him on the shoulder lightly. From "Decision" to now, the pressure on James is also increasing day by day.

The boy does not cry easily, but it is not when he is sad.

A burly man of more than two meters was sobbing in the former home court, and the Cleveland people on the scene were all moved by it.

The fans who were holding placards such as "The Chosen Dog", "Kneel down and beg for forgiveness", "What should I do? I should retire in place!" silently put down the placards in their hands.

After all, they are the stars who grew up in their hometown!

Now I'm crying into tears, I guess I regret it in my heart.

The order of appearance is really important, just like the person who accompanies you drunk is destined to be unable to send you home.

James is the one who once gave the Cavaliers hope, but Wu Di is the one who fulfills the hope...

However, this wave is true. Cleveland people are sentimental.

How could James cry because he regretted his original decision?
If he doesn't bring his talents to the South Coast, then this season will only be more difficult for him, not to mention the Eastern Conference finals, even the second round.

He just felt that life was too difficult.

He encountered all the difficulties he could think of and unexpected difficulties.

As for betraying your hometown?

Oh, how ridiculous.

This is just a false proposition!

There are many Latin Americans smuggled over from Miami. They all know that the United States is the source of pain in Latin America, but they still struggle to become a member of the American people. Some even choose to become American soldiers in order to get a green card quickly.

Just like now, even if he betrayed his hometown team and joined the Heat, creating a precedent for the giants to join forces at the peak, the number of his fans not only did not decrease, but increased.

After all, fans still like the feeling of victory, even if the victory is not so pure.

And in order to win, he had to go to Miami!

Carrying the banner of justice and then losing the game, he has played this role.

And it lasts for 7 years.

But now, who still remembers the lone hero of the past?
As an unlucky guy who was abandoned by his father since he was a child, what qualifications does this world have to teach him how to do things?

Don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering!
What's wrong with him wanting to win?

His "Decision" broadcast live on ESPN is still the highest-rated program on ESPN so far.

The people of Cleveland burned his jersey, not because he betrayed his hometown, but because Cleveland is finished and can no longer recruit big-name stars!
Celine's "Irreplaceable" is the true portrayal of the hearts of Cleveland people.

However, the mistake is that Wu Di appeared!

His huge poster in Cleveland was replaced by Wu Di's handsome appearance.

He defeated the Cavaliers three times in the regular season, but Wu Di took away his MVP and brought hope to Cleveland again!
Now, it is leading the Cavaliers to lead the Heat 2-0 in the Eastern Conference Finals!
James felt the pressure and he couldn't breathe. He has been pushed to a dead end by Wu Di. If he loses the series, his fans will inevitably be lost, and his commercial value will plummet:
"God, why am I going through all this..."

Sister Kelly's singing has ended, but James is still crying. His mind flashes back to his childhood in Akron, the Cleveland metropolitan area.

Life was tough back then, growing up in a single parent household, no siblings, no father, and he remembers those rainy nights in Akron, when he would always ask himself "why me?"  …

"The one who is playing now is not No. 23, but No. 6, the former little emperor, and now the little party dish, LeBron~James!"

The DJ at the scene sarcastically read out James' appearance introduction according to the script written before, but there were very few responders at the scene.

The people of Cleveland are too honest. They just saw James cry, and they are already distressed.

But James has regained his mood, raised his head and rushed to the court.

He has just figured it out, there are many people who have experienced similar experiences to him, but only he has survived, only he dares to have the domineering tattoo on his back of "The Chosen One", only he understands that "God will never give a Man presents challenges that he cannot meet"  …

No matter what, this time, he must win!
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the Cavaliers. Among the Cavaliers players, only Wu Di could maintain his normal expression, and the pride on the faces of the other players could no longer be concealed!

If they had tails, then at this moment, the tails of these Cavaliers would have already reached the sky.

They are indeed qualified to be proud, and they have won consecutive away games against the Heat, the Galaxy battleship, when they are not optimistic.

And this time Love also came back ahead of schedule, and the strength of the Cavaliers has been further strengthened...

"Hehe, you're still too young!"

James spat secretly, he just spent a few tears, and the group of people were bluffed.

Qualified to be proud, but it doesn't mean you can be proud!

The Heat with a stronger lineup paid a heavy price after underestimating the enemy, let alone the Cavaliers?

Open your eyes and look at the Heat!

All of them looked angry and united in the same hatred, obviously ready for a decisive battle to the death!

On the big screen, the starting lineups of both sides were displayed.

For the Heat, point guard Bibby, shooting guard Wade, small forward James, power forward Bosh, and center Z.

For the Cavaliers, point guard Davis, shooting guard Wu Di, small forward Jamison, power forward Love, and center Jordan Jr.

beep!
When the kickoff whistle sounded, Bosh took the lead and picked the ball to Wade before Jordan.

Wade went straight to the basket, and Davis failed to keep up with him in the middle. After the gambler's steal failed, Parker immediately made up!
But Wade pressed Parker sideways and ran towards the basket, slammed the ball near the free throw line, and then took a step to the right, and at the same time threw the basketball to the right, shifting Parker's center of gravity and then throwing the ball to the right. The basketball is pulled back, and the signature Mi Zongbu is strong!
At the critical moment, Wu Di chased the hat from behind, but he missed it!

Because Wade threw the ball behind him in advance!
James caught the ball in the air, swung his arms round, and violently dunked!

Bang!
2-0!

James did not make unnecessary celebrations, and immediately turned back to defend after dunking.

Wu Di received the ball on the right wing. Judging from the strength of Davis' soft pass, he could feel that the state of his teammates on the field was a bit vain.

Understandable, but unacceptable!
Even this MVP has not let up, so what qualifications do these people have to relax?
Including the fans in Cleveland, James scored the first point just now, and there were very few boos, and there were even scattered cheers...

This……

Fortunately, Wu Di's goal is the championship, and these problems will not affect his state.

James' defense this time was very aggressive. As soon as Wu Di received the ball, he turned sideways and actively blocked Wu Di's right with his thigh, just to force Wu Di to rush to the left.

And when Wu Di goes to the left, someone will attack immediately!

Wu Di took a tentative step, he was going to play tricks.

虽然股票的奖励还没有下来，但他昨天已经用G2比赛奖励的2000万美刀提升了2点控球，把控球从90提升到了92的超巨级中等。

He didn't increase his strength, because after all, his physical energy will be consumed faster after his strength is increased, which is not a cost-effective improvement strategy at this stage.

Not to mention the 2-point strength increase, it should still be weaker than James.

But ball control is not the case. Judging from these two games, the Heat have invested more and more resources in defending him. He urgently needs stronger ball control skills to break through the Heat's double-teaming.

James was not deceived by his slow movements, seeing his center of gravity shifted and the moment the basketball fell, he blocked it one step ahead of time!
This is the hesitation step, Wu Di's usual breakthrough technique!
However, Wu Di suddenly dropped his arm, and caught the ball 0.1 seconds before the basketball hit the ground!

It's not so much grasping as it is sucking, sucking like a magnet!
Then shoot the ball from behind to the right!
His ball handling is super giant at 92, but don't forget, his physical flexibility is legendary at 98!

The combination of the two is the ultimate control ability!
In an instant, Wu Di and the shocked James passed by!

In the eyes of James, who may lose the ball with ordinary dribbles, it is impossible and should not be done!

But Wu Di did it!

"I buy it!"

At the Cavaliers' home commentary booth, old Tate's soul was out of his body stimulated by this scene!
"Hahaha, welcome to magic show time! LeBron!"

Larry Nance on the side couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. James' expression just now was so funny!
"Fake! Fake!"

In a luxury hotel in Sicily, Italy, Kobe, who was stealing his hesitation from Vanessa Wu Di, couldn't help but cursed, and then raised his palm with disgust.

This is a super-difficult technical move that he wanted to develop a long time ago, but at that time he failed to develop it because of many reasons such as small hands.

It seems simple, but there are many tricks in it.

Take the point of putting down the ball and catching it in the air as an example. You need a top-notch ball feel and a pair of oversized giant hands to have a chance.

And in order to ensure confusion, the basketball is not simply put down, but has an initial velocity...

Although the initial speed of the hesitation step itself is not fast, it still has an initial speed, which makes it quite difficult to catch the ball with one hand in the air.

Just being able to put the ball vertically in the air and catch the ball, the NBA can count on one hand, plus the smooth and precise backhand breakthrough after catching the ball...

"Made, does his hand really have extra gravitational force on the basketball?"

In Kobe's eyes, three points of jealousy, three points of shock, and four points of regret, he regrets not going to college now, otherwise how could he not know such important knowledge of physics?

"What's the matter, Harney?"

Looking at Kobe's appearance, Vanessa asked with a puzzled expression. Pan An is in the eye of the beholder. In her eyes, Kobe is like the god of basketball, but now the god of basketball in her eyes is blank.

"This dead thief stole my skills again!"

Kobe spat and turned his attention to the live broadcast again.

After Wu Di easily passed James, James turned around and chased again, but it was too late. He could only eat Wu Di's exhaust gas, and then watched Wu Di complete another dunk while riding a dragon!

2-2!

The Quicken Loans Arena was boiling, and the cheerleaders hugged each other excitedly and jumped around like bunnies!

Wu Di's move just now was so handsome and cool!
On the sidelines, a group of celebrities were even more excited and made gestures of throwing things, or simply covered their faces, while the widowed sister Scarlett, who was wearing a black hip-covering skirt, couldn't close her legs with a smile, no, can't muzzle.

Fighting again on the opposite side, James took the initiative to ask for the ball at the top of the arc. Facing the huge distance opened by Wu Di, he pulled up and shot!
Although the posture is still the same as the zombies in the old Hong Kong movies, the basketball hits the net with a whoosh, making all the players who are desperately stuck on the rebound feel lonely.

5-2!

Lao Zhan excitedly took the overlord's step, and roared towards the auditorium while walking!

Wu Di's eyes froze, Ma De, Lao Zhan's hand feeling is not so good today!

Offensive and defensive changes, Davis dribbled the ball to the free throw line, suddenly raised his arm and lobbed the ball back to Love, who had just arrived on the wing.

Bosh immediately pounced!
Love stuck his block and barely shot!

Bang!
The basketball hits the frame!

Although it didn't cover it, Bosh still interfered with Love's shot.

Big Z stuck Wu Di and let James pick up the rebound.

Before everyone could react, James moved laterally to the low position of the elbow area, pushing the basketball vigorously towards the Cavaliers' backcourt with both hands.

Davis jumped up and wanted to steal, but it was a bit short, and the basketball passed through the court and came to Wade's hands steadily.

Janeway connected in reverse, and Wade jumped up and made a layup in two steps after receiving the ball.

7-2!

beep!
Scott had to call a timeout.
