Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 165 I haven’t scored 50 points in a single game this season, right?

At the same time that Suwan returned to Indiana, LeBron James also returned to Cleveland.

Coming down from the airport, he looked at the huge poster of himself across the airport, but he did not feel the same excitement as before.

This is his second All-Star trip in his career.

But he still played as an All-Star reserve. -- Wade, who was also an All-Star reserve last season, became an All-Star starter. Carmelo Anthony, who did not make the All-Star team last season, also made the Western Conference All-Star team as an All-Star reserve this season.

He wants to widen the gap with his classmates again, and he also wants to win the All-Star MVP in this All-Star Game.

And he felt this was an opportunity!
McGrady wants to win the All-Star MVP, so others will definitely let down their guard, and he can just take advantage of that opportunity to "steal".

But in the end, Suwan confronted McGrady head-on and took away the All-Star MVP from Houston.

In the second season of his career, he has four MVP trophies, and only one regular season MVP has yet to be won, and he has a good chance of winning it this season.

At the age of 20, becoming a "four MVP grand slam winner", LeBron couldn't imagine how glorious Suwan would be with the help of Nike.

So at this moment, when he looked at his poster, he not only did not feel excited, but also felt a sense of being dragged down.

If he had been traded to Indiana at that time, then standing next to him now would be two All-Stars, O'Neal Jr. and Artest, as well as two surprises, Calderon and Dio, and helpers like Foster and Tinsley.

What game can’t be won?
So now all the glory of Su Wan belongs to him!
Yes, that’s what it looks like!

Thinking of this, LeBron James suddenly felt a little disgusted with this conspicuous poster.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that he doesn't like the domineering self in this poster, he just thinks...

This poster should not be posted in Cleveland, but in Miami, Dallas, and other better teams!

If he was in those teams, he might have won the championship and become the MVP long ago!
It's nothing like now, when Nike deducted money for not making the All-Star starter.

Did Cleveland owe him so much without realizing it?

But even so, he still has to take that damn responsibility!
He is well aware of the questions he will be asked when he faces reporters again tomorrow:
Can the Cavaliers still make the playoffs this season?

This is actually the question he wanted to ask Danny Ferry: Do you still want the Cavaliers to make the playoffs?

If you want to, why don't I see you making a big deal in free agency?

Why don’t I see any strong reinforcements joining?

His heart is so tired!
But he has to face the reality. If he does not lead the Cavaliers into the playoffs, he will face Nike once again using the hard indicators of the contract to deduct a large sum of money from him, and he will also face stronger questioning from the media.

Maybe they all think that the "chosen one" should "fight 1 against 5"!

But these damn guys, can't they really see his data?
Isn’t it enough that he averaged 31.4 points, 6 rebounds and 4.8 assists per game this season?
Is it really my fault that the team is not strong enough?
While he was mumbling, Rich Paul called him and said, "LeBron, Danny Ferry wants to meet with you. He wants to talk to you about the contract extension."

"Contract renewal?" LeBron didn't understand why Danny Ferry suddenly wanted to talk about this.

Although he is indeed in the third year of his rookie contract, the team should talk to him about contract renewal in advance out of respect.

but……

Why is it at this time?
Rich Paul told LeBron his guess: "I think Danny wants us to know that the Cavaliers are still full of confidence and expectations for you..."

"Are you pitying me?" LeBron was immediately angry. He didn't listen to what Rich Paul said and directly refused him. "Tell him that I am only focused on getting the team into the playoffs!"

Rich Paul was a little surprised. He didn't quite understand why LeBron was angry.

Little did he know that LeBron already thought Cleveland was a burden to him.

At this time, Danny Ferry thought that LeBron's continuous setbacks would discourage his self-confidence, so he sent a half-respectful and half-encouraging contract extension. This...

To put it more simply, a woman who thinks she is in better condition and should have a better boyfriend, when she hears her current boyfriend ask her if she wants to get married, half of her feelings are because she is afraid that she will be sad because people are gossiping about her.

It would be strange if I wasn’t furious!

LeBron James has reached the crossroads of the "three-year itch", and has become even more itchy because of an ill-timed contract extension.

On the other hand, the Pacers have also restarted their regular season journey. Now they are 3 wins away from the first place in the Eastern Conference, the Detroit Pistons. They hope to narrow this gap or even surpass it before the end of the season. In Rick Carlisle's view, the two games against the Pistons in mid-March and early April will become the key "decisive games".

But the Pacers have their own problems...

They want to be first in the Eastern Conference, but they don't really want to be first in the league.

Last year’s experience in the finals taught them: Being fat first doesn’t count.

If they were the side with a worse record, they would have the opportunity to win the championship trophy at their home court.

For the Conseco Fieldhouse, which had not been bathed in the "golden rain of championships" for decades, just that one "golden rain" last year was far from enough.

However, this problem soon ceased to be a problem.

Considering that the Mavericks are now ranked first in the league, if the Pacers really become the second in the league, then in the finals, they will most likely become the team with a better record.

The reason...

You taste it carefully!
That, of course, is the view of the Indiana media.

For Suwan's regular season MVP, who is also the first regular season MVP in the history of the Pacers, they can be said to have fought hard. Even if they become "mortal enemies" with Dallas, they must help Suwan seize the dominant position in public opinion.

But the Dallas Mavericks are also unlocking this first in team history.

What puzzled Su Wan was that he remembered that Dirk Nowitzki should have won the regular season MVP next season. That was definitely Dirk Nowitzki's most glorious...regular season.

The original contender for the regular season MVP this year should have been Steve Nash. He won another regular season MVP trophy this season, becoming the second point guard after "Magic" to win the regular season MVP for two consecutive seasons.

Why can’t I hear much from him now?
Then when the Pacers and the Suns met, he realized that, by the way, Stoudemire was not out for the season this time!
Originally, Steve Nash won his second "Regular Season MVP" not because the Suns had an outstanding record for the second consecutive year.

It was because of Stoudemire's season-ending injury and the departure of Joe Johnson that the team's strength was greatly reduced. Under such circumstances, Steve Nash still led the Suns to a final ranking of second in the Western Conference.

All major media people were shocked. Nash successfully won his second consecutive regular season MVP.

It was also this regular season MVP that completely established Nash's position as the absolute core of the Suns.

At the same time, it was also after this that it was rumored that Stoudemire relied on Nash's help to play at the top level of the league's inside line, and he couldn't play without Nash. Therefore, when the Suns management gave him a contract extension in 2010, they were hesitant and ambiguous. Stoudemire moved to the New York Knicks and proved with practical actions that he didn't rely on Nash, and Nash even delayed his singles in the inside line!

If it weren't for the injuries, the New York Knicks would have remained competitive for a long time in 2010. This time, Stoudemire's injury was avoided, and it's unknown what impact it will have on the future of this duo.

O'Neal Jr. showed a strong desire to attack before the game tonight. Suwan asked him to fully cooperate with O'Neal Jr. to play well. Calderon and Dio also helped him to perform dunks under the basket whenever they had the chance.

In the first half alone, O'Neal Jr. dunked seven or eight times in the Suns' paint.

He was so excited that he even used his chest to hit Stoudemire, almost causing a fight.

Su Wan, however, looked on with a smile on his face.

You will pay for what you have done in the end.

Just as Stoudemire pushed others back then, others pushed him the same way tonight.

The process of this game was similar to the previous game between the two teams.

The stalemate lasted until the end of the third quarter, with the score difference between the two teams being only about 6 points, which was very tense.

Su Wan stepped up, and after two minutes of "full power", the score difference was smoothly reduced to about 10 points, and then the game ended in a confrontation.

Bill Walton said: "If the last game can't prove my point, then this game should be able to prove it. The Pacers' small lineup is an enhanced version of the Suns. What the Suns lack is their sharpest weapon!"

The final score of the game was 125 to 112.
The two teams were competing against each other for almost the entire game, with no defense at all, so the final score is quite exaggerated even in this era.

O'Neal finally scored an "oversized double-double" of 30 points and 15 rebounds, surpassing Stoudemire's 21 points and 9 rebounds. At the last moment, he blocked Stoudemire. In addition, he won the game: "I think everyone should have no objection now. I am the enhanced version of Amare!"

This time, Xiao Si was unable to utter any rebuttal.

Because he was completely beaten in every aspect tonight.

But that doesn't mean he won't be able to speak in the future.

Just wait and see, the next time the Suns win, that's when he'll be showing off.

O'Neal Jr. solved the problem of flies that had been bothering him for two months. Now that his ears are free from worry, he smiles more often.

On February 2, the Pacers played their last game in February.

After the All-Stars Break, they have only lost 2 games so far.

After recovering from the four-day All-Star Weekend holiday, everyone was a little slack, which caused them to lose one more game and failed to maintain their previous losing frequency, but compared to most teams in the league, their condition is good.

Unfortunately, the Pistons are not among these most teams, and they are still three wins ahead of the Pacers.

Indiana's last opponent in February:
Milwaukee Bucks!
At the beginning of the season, two new players from the "05 generation" were dissatisfied with Suwan's bad mouth and responded. One of them, the "58 Cannon", was beaten up in Indiana before and then beaten up again in New Orleans.

Recently, when reporters mentioned Su Wan, he quickly changed the subject and became much more honest.

However, Su Wan was skeptical about Chris Cannon's honesty. This guy was not someone who would give in so easily. He was afraid that he had no chance this season and would wait until next season to get his chance back.

After dealing with one of them, the other one naturally cannot be let go.

The No. 1 pick Bogut was selected by the Bucks.

Speaking of Bogut, this is another notorious guy.

Not only in the NBA, but also in international competitions, he has made rude remarks about the Chinese men's basketball team.

Even if he didn't respond to Su Wan, Su Wan would not let him go.

Not to mention that he has responded to Su Wan now.

Then there is nothing more to say.

This old guy is just lucky. In the previous game between the Pacers and the Bucks, he was injured a week ago and ended up missing the game.

Suwan scored 39 points in this game and the Pacers won by nearly 20 points.

After the game, Bogut told the media: "If I were there tonight, Sue would never have been able to get into the Bucks' restricted area so easily!"

This is just adding to the old grudges.

Before the game started, reporters asked Bogut: "Do you still think that Suwan was able to score 39 points in the last game because you were not there?"

Bogut's expression was particularly annoying: "Of course, I respect my teammates, but there are many roles that I can't replace, so with me here tonight, Sue couldn't have scored more points."

Irene was also among the reporters interviewing, and when she heard Bogut's words, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Is not this nonsensical?

Isn’t 39 points high enough?

So the reason we didn’t score 39 points was because of your good defense?
This person is so mean!

Irene saw through Bogut's true nature in a second.

but……

Irene quickly ran to tell Suwan what Bogut had said.

She felt that Bogut might be slapped in the face this time.

For others, 39 points is a difficult number, but for five or six players in the league this season, 39 points is not out of reach.

Su Wan, who averaged 27.8 points per game, is also among them.

This season, Suwan has scored 30 or more points in a single game, a new career-high 30 times. At the same time, he has scored 40 or more points in a single game as many as 8 times.

She believes that Bogut's words will give Suwan extra motivation, allowing him to increase the number of games in which he scores 40 points or more to 9 this season!
Sure enough, when Suwan heard what Bogut said, he smiled sarcastically, and then Irene heard him ask, "I haven't scored 50 points in a single game this season, right?"

Irene nodded obediently.

Su Wan said: "Then you can write the headline of tomorrow's report now. Bogut's role on the court is to help Su Wan score his first 50-plus points this season!"

I saw a guy in the QQ area saying that I only have quantity but not quality in the last chapter. I don’t know if he was talking about the Houston plot or the plot in the past two or three days. What do you guys think? If you have any questions, please tell me the specific questions.
