Chapter 898: The Nature of a Pseudo-Superstar

In the opening game of the NBA league, Gilbert Jr. attended the Thunder's new season game as the team owner.

This game is still the Heat vs. Thunder at home, a follow-up to last season's finals. The two teams are particularly jealous when they meet, mainly the Thunder.

Durant turned on the death mode, and started to exert his strength directly at a 45-degree angle, hitting the target repeatedly.

I don’t know if LeBron James was broken by the criticism from the media owned by Gilbert Jr. or what, he started to defend with his eyes and was unwilling to even extend his hand.

Those LeBron James fans on ESPN also made excuses for LeBron James, saying that James was worried today, that James was too physically exhausted, that he must have over-trained during the offseason, and so on.

However, on the offensive end, LeBron James immediately became full of energy. Wade directly stole the ball from Westbrook, and when he looked forward, LeBron James had already run to the center circle.

In the analysis of the James-Wade connection by the ESPN commentator, LeBron James directly scored with a domineering tomahawk slam dunk... The referee blew the whistle, it was a traveling violation!
LeBron James immediately spread his hands toward the referee, and Gilbert Jr. could hear his complaints while sitting on the sidelines.

"I didn't take a traveling penalty? Why did you call it a traveling penalty? It was a good shot."

The referee received a strict order and ignored him. He just pointed at the big screen and played a slow-motion replay.

Several ESPN commentators were still speaking up for LeBron James, thinking it was a good shot. But when the replay came out, they shut up and it was indeed a traveling shot.

Gilbert Jr. was also discussing this ball with the team's general manager Sam Presti, who was watching the game with him on the sidelines: "Before this change, there would never be a call."

Sam Presti agreed: "Indeed, he probably realized that the distance was not enough for the dunk, so he took two more steps."

"Now, the league's superstar is going to become a pseudo-superstar."

Little Gilbert laughed mockingly. He didn't care about other teams, but if they dared to use these crooked tricks in front of his team, they would be taught a profound lesson.

I'll let you destroy my team's first championship, so I'll directly ask the league to take action and destroy your 40,000-point project.

In fact, to be honest, with LeBron James' top-notch physical fitness, it would not be a problem for him to become a top star even without the referee's favoritism.

Although my achievements are not as high as in my previous life, I can still be included in the top 20 or even top 10 discussions.

Gilbert is helping the NBA return to normal, not letting the league manipulate the NBA into a sideline game. Otherwise, he should just go to the NFL. He plays basketball because he knows a little bit about basketball.

To put it bluntly, both Arsenal and the Thunder are just Gilbert's toys.

This is different from most owners in the league. Those owners may require market profits, but Gilbert Jr. pursues the joy of playing with toys.

Just like playing games, if you beat me normally, I will admit that I am inferior to you. But if you beat me by using cheats, I am sure not many people will be convinced.

The result of this game was uneventful. The Thunder defeated the defending champion Heat by 25 points, and Durant scored 28 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

库里三分球7中5,外加突破发球拿下22分;维斯布鲁克17分11个助攻,还领到了一个恶意犯规。

The reason was that Westbrook stood up for Curry and knocked Joel Anthony over with an elbow.

Those who watched NBA in the past life would definitely shout "Wow" when they saw the Thunder's lineup. This lineup is awesome. Gilbert Jr. also thinks so. Curry and Durant are on the same team. Staying healthy means being invincible.

With the addition of Westbrook, Ibaka and other good players, the team can be a strong contender for the championship as long as they make some improvements.

The Heat were in a bad situation. LeBron James only scored 9 points in this game, and his streak of scoring in double figures was interrupted. The game entered garbage time early, and when he wanted to score points, the Heat coach directly stopped him.

Little Gilbert is sitting on the sidelines. If you go up there to score points, not only will you lose the game but you will also lose face. Forget it!
LeBron James' face was dark and ugly, and smelled terrible. He looked at Gilbert on the sidelines with hatred, snorted coldly, and went straight back to the locker room without even hugging after the game.

During the post-match media interview, LeBron James explained that he performed poorly because of discomfort in his groin and injuries.

The media is stirring up trouble, and Gilbert Jr. also accepted an interview with TNT.

He said bluntly: "The league's penalty standards and rules have always been in favor of star players, which is understandable, but it can't be too extreme.

If obvious fouls and traveling are not called, that is not a star whistle, but a favoritism whistle.

The referee also knew that he was biased, so in order to find a tie, he had to blow a few similar whistles from the opponent's side. In this way, not only the fans on this side were unhappy and scolded the referee, but the fans on the other side also scolded the referee.

So the penalty rules can be modified every season, but all teams must be treated equally, otherwise the incident in the June finals will happen again. "

A reporter asked: "LeBron James said that he was affected by a groin injury today, so he didn't play well. What do you think?"

"How? I stood and watched."

Gilbert scholar LeBron James spread his hands: "Regardless of injuries or illnesses, I think it is best for players to focus on the court.

What's the point of complaining to the referee? Can it change the fact that you traveled? The referee is not your father, what's the point of complaining to him? "

These words were extremely serious and excessive. If LeBron James didn't get furious when he heard them, he would be considered to have a good temper.

But the most important thing is that he has no way to refute little Gilbert because what little Gilbert said is true.

In this world, lies never hurt anyone, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

Gilbert Jr. has exposed his superstar nature and revealed his essence of data being king.

The most important thing is that he has no way to refute it. He tried to argue for himself last year, but the huge group of movie fans and fans directly overwhelmed him.

LeBron James is known as the NBA star with the most fans in the world after Kobe Bryant. But compared with big names like Gilbert Jr., his number of fans is simply not enough.

After that incident, many fans said they would stop being his fans, and LeBron James' commercial value also dropped significantly.

What LeBron James fears most is that Nike executives have decided to find a new alliance face and abandon him.

Everyone can see that LeBron James, who has offended Gilbert Jr. and whose image has been damaged, is no longer suitable to be Nike's face.

This is not like his previous life, when LeBron James had achieved enough honors and accumulated enough reputation before the world recognized his true nature.

If it was the LeBron James of 2018, it would be useless for Gilbert to put pressure on the league. But the LeBron James of today is still far from it.

After watching the game with great satisfaction, Gilbert Jr. went to the locker room to visit the players and promised them this season's honorary bonus and championship bonus.

"You should know that I have been crowned the richest man again, which means I am not short of money. As long as you perform well, you can get a bonus from me." (End of this chapter)
