Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 261 Still Looking Back
LeBron, kneeling on the ground, even looked for the camera.

The knees follow the direction.

Let a bunch of cameras surround you.

With a pious look, he waited for the final judgment.

That performance seems to say:
The alliance will definitely give me a fair treatment!

The entire Heat team was dumbfounded.

Spoelstra knew that LeBron was unwilling to play as a substitute, but he did not expect that LeBron would do such a thing on impulse.

Wade and Chris Bosh looked at each other and wanted to pull LeBron up, but there were so many media surrounding him, and looking at LeBron's pious look, it was clear no matter how you looked at him that this guy would definitely not get up.

If a real fight breaks out, the scene will be even uglier.

Neither of them dared to move.

Chalmers opened his eyes.

He is well aware of the feud between the Heat and the New York Knicks 11 years ago, which can really be described as a "blood feud."

Otherwise, the Miami media wouldn't care so much about losing to the Knicks twice.

He is ashamed to have a teammate like LeBron!
The New York fans in the audience were also stunned at first, and then they laughed one by one. They were the group of people who loved to watch the fun, and now seeing LeBron kneeling on the ground in anger because the referee did not blow the whistle, it was an eye-opener.

They have been called "soft bones" because they cheer for their opponents' outstanding performance.

But they didn't kneel down...

Look at LeBron again, he really knelt down.

Fans in the front row pulled out their phones and started taking pictures.

One of the little fans turned to his father and asked, "Did the Heat player make a mistake?"

The father said, "No, he thinks we made a mistake!"

The little fan was puzzled: "Why did he kneel down then?"

The father said: "Maybe he was too emotional."

The young fan asked, "Can I do this when I get emotional in the future?"

The father said: "No, son, they are players from the Heat. We are fans of the Knicks. You should be like Suwan and try to create miracles no matter what the situation is!"

Irene noticed this scene from the beginning of the conversation between the two people, and asked the photographer behind her to aim at the two people and record the conversation.

She was originally still thinking about how to write tomorrow's news, but now, this paragraph of conversation is enough.

The referees looked at LeBron kneeling down with strange expressions, and one of them stepped forward and wanted to say something to LeBron, but was sternly rejected by LeBron.

He now only wants the truth, and...

fair!

The referee looked at him and finally sighed.

The center console began to replay the video of the final attack.

Since LeBron is so unwilling, let’s see what is going on!
LeBron, who was still kneeling, looked up at the big screen.

He firmly believed that Tyson Chandler hit his hand prematurely when he was defending him for the last time.

But before the picture got there, as he took that step forward, there was a round of boos from the audience, and then LeBron heard even louder ridicule:

"Isn't this already a walk?"

"Doesn't he know he's walking?"

"I'm telling you why Tyson Chandler made the LeBron traveling gesture to the referee at the end!"

"LeBron, how many steps do you want to take?"

“The basic skills are too weak!”

……

There was a hint of sarcasm on Su Wan's face.

In fact, he noticed that LeBron was traveling during the game, but since LeBron didn't score, he didn't care about it.

Referees are like this, when they can't see the footsteps clearly, they will choose to believe, especially in the case of "super giants".

Of course there is another possibility, that is, they really didn't see it.

In either case, since LeBron didn't score in the end, he didn't pursue it.

But unexpectedly, LeBron jumped up first and even knelt down.

This……

What a great show!
The referees spread their hands to each other, especially the one who wanted to negotiate with LeBron at the time, who had an expression of "He's asking for death, there's nothing I can do" on his face.

All the Heat players didn't want to stay in Bengbu anymore and just turned around and left, but Wade was considerate enough to rush forward and pull LeBron up.

But LeBron was still living in his own world, and said to Wade: "Did you see that? Tyson hit his hand, did you see that? Black whistle, this is a black whistle, otherwise we could have tied the score!"

Wade was really upset. He wanted to yell to LeBron:
"Brother, even if you didn't see it, you should have heard it. It was a traveling foul. You were in the front, so what kind of foul is that?"

This last attack was equivalent to the referee turning a blind eye. Are you still complaining?

At first he really thought LeBron had been wronged, but...

Who knows what he will be laughed at by the “venomous” New York media after the game!
The reporters would not let them leave so easily. As soon as they entered the visiting team's player tunnel, they surrounded them and interviewed them without any explanation.

"LeBron was too excited, which is understandable. It just proves his competitive spirit!" - Wade talked about LeBron's "kneeling";
"He was a little emotional and did something out of line." - Spoelstra on LeBron's "kneeling";
"I don't know why he did this. I never understood some of his actions." - Chalmers on LeBron's "kneeling";
"LeBron may feel sorry for the loss!" - Chris Bosh also defended LeBron's "kneeling";
"That was a ruined shot. I still stand by my statement. I expressed my emotions, but I was not treated fairly by the league!" - LeBron talked about his "kneeling" behavior;
As for what the New York players think about this.

"I was stunned. As far as I can remember, Michael Jordan always said that if the referee didn't blow the whistle, it was a good shot. Suwan also said something similar. Therefore, it was the first time I saw someone so confidently asking for a whistle." - Artest talked about LeBron's "kneeling behavior";
"He did it on purpose because he knew I could defend him, it's that simple! He always wants to defeat his opponent in a simple way, such as injuring his opponent, or leaving Cleveland and going to Miami to join a strong team." - Artest talked about being "elbowed";
"This is LeBron. I am not surprised at all. He has always been a privileged child. Do you think he would think he traveled? No, in his opinion, he did not travel, but Tyson Chandler did commit a foul! He would feel that he was treated unfairly... See? This is LeBron!" - Suwan talked about LeBron's "kneeling" behavior. Halfway through his speech, a reporter relayed LeBron's latest remarks about his kneeling. Suwan made a gesture: Look, everything is as I said.

"Do you really think he doesn't know the rules of traveling? He just bet that the league will always condone his traveling, so he never works hard on such things. He would have always had this privilege, but he ruined it all himself. You should know what I'm talking about." - Su Wan continued to talk in depth about LeBron's traveling.

And the next morning, the New York media started to stir up trouble.

A huge headline, with a picture of LeBron, read: "Miami Surrenders to Us!"

Since the NBA was founded, there have been many instances of players kneeling on the court.

But they either cried with joy after winning, or were upset after losing, or for other reasons.

LeBron was the first person to kneel down in anger because the referee did not blow the whistle on the last attack.

If this isn't a blatant foul, what is?
Can the New York media let such a person go?

and……

If you want to do something big, do it in a big way. It would be boring to just write that LeBron surrendered.

If you want to write, write "Miami"!
Then the process of LeBron looking for the camera while kneeling was also exposed, and the New York media named it: "LeBron, a natural actor, with a natural sense of camera!"

In the afternoon at Madison Square Garden, fans wearing Miami No. 6 jerseys replicated LeBron's kneeling gesture at the entrance of Madison Square Garden, which once again set off the media.

A New York Knicks fan tweeted that a similar statue will be made and placed at the entrance of Madison Square Garden in two days (PS, please believe me, I'm not talking about LeBron).

Wow, in order to prevent LeBron’s team from suing him for defamation, he actually made a "disclaimer" in advance.

Although it is not known whether this will be useful.

But imagine that when the time comes, LeBron's team will righteously say in court in order to hold someone accountable: "That's LeBron. Who else has knelt in Madison Square Garden besides LeBron? It's him, your honor. That statue is him!"

The picture is so beautiful and full of joy.

At this time, Irene also released the video of the conversation between the father and son at the sidelines.

A cartoonist drew it into an animation, which was retweeted by Su Wan.

This comic went viral at the time.

Then netizens realized that Su Wan had taken on the promotion of a youth project, and this promotional method was Su Wan’s own idea.

Most media also believe that Suwan and New York have won.

Just being "swept away" is embarrassing enough.

Now they are actually kneeling down to Miami, which is even more...

Barkley said: "The Miami media has been fighting with the New York media for 12 years. Now because of LeBron, the Miami media has completely lost its voice!"

He just couldn't understand why he felt he had committed a foul, and his subconscious reaction was to kneel down.

and……

You should at least watch the video replay before deciding whether you should kneel or not!

I took the first step, but you ended up kneeling down!
The official referee report then killed the match:
LeBron was walking in front and Tyson Chandler was hitting his hand behind.

The Miami media was full of criticism.

They were already very dissatisfied with LeBron's performance after his comeback in January.

Now that this guy has knelt down in Madison Square Garden, it's even more...

"Send this wimp back to Cleveland, where he should rot!"

"As a Miami player, you actually knelt in Madison Square Garden. If you know what happened between us and New York, you shouldn't kneel!"

"LeBron is so disappointing. He totally lacks the spirit that a Heat player should have!"

"Give up on this guy, Miami can't tolerate such a wimp!"

……

There are constant calls from the Miami media to trade LeBron.

At the American Airlines Arena, Pat Riley met with LeBron.

The "divine fortune teller" had a shrewd face full of ugliness.

Most of the ridicule from the New York media was directed at LeBron, but some of it was directed at him.

After LeBron knelt down, they found a way to vent the grudges from many years ago.

As for New York's ability to disgust people...

Even Pat Riley couldn't take it easy.

Years of reputation destroyed.

If trading LeBron now wouldn't bring any good bargaining chips, to be honest, he would want to trade LeBron right now.

What a wimp this is!

Kneeling in Madison Square Garden!
If they stay in the Heat for a few years, who knows how many spineless people will be assimilated!

Now Pat Riley finally understands why the Cavaliers have never won the championship.

He is such a spineless person that no matter how awesome the lineup is, it cannot unleash its due power in his hands.

Now he also understood why the Cavaliers always ranked well on the media power rankings before the start of the new season every year, but as the game progressed they became a team that needed reinforcement in all aspects.

The temperament of a "softie" will assimilate teammates.

"Be a substitute or sit on the bench...LeBron, you make your choice!" Pat Riley didn't waste time talking to LeBron and directly gave him a "choose 2 from 1".

LeBron didn't want to accept it: "Pat, you should respect me, you can't do this to me!"

Pat Riley also learned something new: "Respect is earned through actions, not words. The fact that the Heat haven't won a single game since your comeback is enough to explain everything."

"Then trade me!" LeBron was very tough.

He absolutely cannot accept the status of a substitute.

Not only can he not accept it, his team will not let him accept it either.

But Pat Riley said: "I can trade you, but I don't want to do a losing business. I paid two first-round picks for you, but you are not even worth one first-round pick now. I need you to perform well on the bench to increase your value. At that time, I will trade you!"

"Then let me start, let the team cooperate with me, and when I perform well, my value will naturally go up!"

Pat Riley laughed and stopped talking nonsense to LeBron: "If you don't want to, forget it. I will notify the coaching staff and put you on the inactive list!"

The reason why Pat Riley is so tough is that he knows that even without LeBron, the Heat is still a top-notch team this season because there is no need to compromise with LeBron.

On the contrary, it is LeBron who needs to compromise in order to continue playing.

As soon as LeBron heard what Pat Riley said, he panicked, softened his attitude, and agreed to play as a substitute.

He is such a wimp!
Pat Riley's eyes were full of disgust.

The conversation between the two ended here.

Walking out of the general manager's office, LeBron wanted to cry but had no tears. At this moment, he missed Cleveland and his days with the Cavaliers very much. Danny Ferry was so cute, and the Cavaliers fans and the Cleveland media were so loyal to him.

The kid who was born in Akron wants to go back to Cleveland.

On the way home, he searched the Internet for the latest news about Cleveland, and the result was...

"It's better for LeBron, the wimp, to leave, or the whole of Cleveland will be ashamed of him!"

"Is this LeBron? God, we used to consider him as our cornerstone!"

“Gilbert: We have to admit once again that it is really stupid to give up Suwan for LeBron!”

……

Well, he suddenly didn't miss Cleveland that much!

They are all "fence-sitters"!
There is no difference between Cleveland fans and Heat fans. They are essentially a bunch of opportunists who don't know what loyalty is!

Good thing he left Cleveland and won’t be loyal to the Heat!
He swore that one day, he would make sure that those who ridiculed him would no longer be able to reach him.

Just wait and see!

Pat Riley still gave him some face. The next morning, the Heat coaching staff issued a notice: "After losing the game against the New York Knicks, LeBron took the initiative to communicate with the coaching staff and was willing to give up his starting position." Spoelstra faced the camera and said without blushing or beating his heart: "LeBron believes that he has not found his form yet. Continuing to stay in the starting lineup will only affect the original chemistry of the team. Therefore, after careful consideration, he chose to give up his starting position!"

What else can LeBron do?
I can only continue to say what Spoelstra said: "As long as the team can win, I can do anything!"

After this news was reported by major media, it immediately caused heated discussion.

Some media told Suwan that LeBron voluntarily gave up his starting position.

Su Wan sneered: "Stop talking nonsense!"

If LeBron is willing to give up his starting position, is he still LeBron?

He doesn't have such awareness.

Apparently this was the vibration that Erin was talking about when Pat Riley was about to take action.

At first, Su Wan felt that this change was a bit unsatisfactory.

He originally thought Pat Riley would just trade LeBron.

But if you think about it carefully, given LeBron's current reputation, a direct trade would not bring any valuable chips. Given Pat Riley's personality, he would rather wait patiently for a better opportunity to make a move.

In this case, letting LeBron play as a substitute is the best option.

Su Wan suddenly realized, isn’t this exactly “off-peak travel”?

It’s bad. I hope he won’t get any benefits!

but……

Think about LeBron shamelessly saying in the future that he likes to play as the team's sixth man.

Looks like it’s quite fun!

When Shaquille O'Neal saw the news, he immediately guessed the inside story. He had just started working at TNT, and he said confidently in front of the camera: "I can be sure that it was Pat Riley's idea to let LeBron be a substitute, and then he asked the coaching staff to publicize that LeBron volunteered to give LeBron a way out and make him grateful to him. This is Pat Riley's method!"

As early as his playing days, Barkley liked to contradict Shaquille O'Neal, but this time he nodded in agreement.

He also felt that the possibility of LeBron taking the initiative to become a substitute was not high.

Kenny Smith was a little sad.

From 03 to 11, he watched LeBron go from being a "prodigy" to a substitute for the team.

This is a truly divine turn of events...

Unexpected.

But considering LeBron's character, it doesn't seem surprising that he took this step.

The most important thing for a player is of course talent, but what is more important than talent is his mentality.

The appearance of Suwan destroyed LeBron again and again, and also caused him to be questioned again and again, and finally emptied his "blood vessels".

Of course, LeBron's own "Decision One" was also one of the fundamental reasons that ruined him.

He lost his last base.

It is normal to lose support, become a "rootless duckweed", and completely fall from the level of "core of the team".

Well, being banned for 30 games is also a huge blow.

But it can only be said that the "flowers of evil" were planted in the past and are bearing fruit today.

If he had not chosen to escape at the time, but directly admitted to the behavior of condoning bullying, with the support of the Cleveland media and fans, even though that period would have been a bit difficult, the whole thing would definitely have been turned over by now, and would not have caused him a "secondary impact."

And this, after all, is a problem with his personality.

The New York media was not polite at all and directly posted:
"Suwan sent LeBron to the bench!"

The Cleveland media added: "Even if he enters the bench, LeBron still has a lot to learn!"

Ok……

Cleveland did it too!
It was also on this day that the statue of LeBron kneeling on the ground, which fans had previously talked about, was completed in the fan plaza of Madison Square Garden.

The fans entertained themselves and held a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Soon the photo of the statue circulated in the media and many fans came to see it.

I heard that this statue was originally a bronze statue of a gorilla with its butt sticking up, which is why it was transformed so quickly and was completed in just two days.

The facial details of the bronze statue are not very good either.

Of course, this is a wise choice from any perspective.

But the entire kneeling posture is exactly the same as LeBron's kneeling posture at that time.

It is not known whether intentionally or unintentionally, but the management of the Indiana Pacers announced on the same day that they would prepare a surprise for Suwan on the day he returned to the Pacers.

Soon, some media revealed the surprising content:
"The Pacers erected a bronze statue for Suwan in front of Conseco Fieldhouse!"

This is the first bronze statue in the history of the Pacers. - Although there has been a bronze statue of Suwan outside Suwan Street, the two have very different meanings.

Larry Bird, who returned to the position of general manager, did not hide it any further. He said: "Everything is to thank Suwan for winning 5 championship trophies for Indiana. He deserves it!"

He didn't show off this time.

Larry Bird only won three championships in his entire career, but Suwan won five championships for the Pacers. It is not excessive to erect a statue for him, and it may even be too little.

after all……

Up to now, the glory of the entire Pacers team was brought by Suwan.

Suwan later confirmed this: "They have contacted me. For me, this is something worth looking forward to. I have always been clear that the Pacers and I have made each other successful!"

When this was said in Indiana, the Indiana media said, "No, Suwan, you made this team!"

If it weren't for Suwan, this city wouldn't have shined so brightly in the past six years.

And at such a warm moment, on January 1, Suwan returned to the stadium for the first time since the trade.

Before the game, Suwan unveiled the first bronze statue of his career.

Just like the bronze statue at the entrance of "Suwan Street".

They are all 1:1 height.

The bronze statue of Suwan, wearing the No. 99 jersey of the Pacers, is in a breakthrough pose.

Various championship trophies and MVP trophies were placed in a patchwork pattern next to the platform. If you count carefully, the number is correct:
5 championship trophies, 5 finals MVP trophies, 3 regular season MVP trophies.

After the bronze statue was unveiled, the Pacers management also prepared a 15-minute tribute video for Suwan.

Every highlight of Suwan's honor in this city has been edited, and of course the promises he once made, such as "rebuilding the glory of Indiana", "now is about to enter the Suwan era"... and so on.

After so many years, hearing Suwan's promises again still makes Indiana people feel excited and extremely excited.

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

"MVP!"

At the end of the film, the long-awaited cheers once again resounded throughout the stadium.

As they shouted, many fans couldn't help but shed tears.

Every story needs an ending.

After Su Wan's return this time, the story between them and Su Wan came to an end completely.

It was such a heart-wrenching story that they really didn't want it to end.

Then the competition officially began.

After Herbert regained control of the team, he renewed the contract with O'Neal Jr., whose contract was about to expire, and also renewed the contracts of Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol, whose contracts were about to expire next year.

Add Millsap and Harrington from New York...

The Pacers have an extremely deep inside lineup.

And all kinds of styles are included.

On the outside, Billups and Afflalo were attacking and defending respectively.

Also on the bench are Jeremy Lin and Nate Robinson...

It's just a little bit on the flank.

But relying on the strengths of the team, it can still be compensated in tactics.

At the beginning of the season, without Suwan's flank control, they were not very comfortable for a while. Because they had to bear more responsibilities. But after entering January, they gradually developed a tacit understanding. Unknowingly, they played a wave of "1 consecutive wins" until mid-January when they lost the first game of January.

It is in stark contrast to the Heat.

The ranking also came to fourth in the Eastern Conference.

Second only to the New York Knicks and the Heat.

Behind them are the Magic and the Boston Celtics!
It can be seen that their overall strength should not be underestimated.

However, in this game, they met Suwan, and it seemed as if their bloodline was restrained. Their overall performance was mediocre. In the end, the New York Knicks won easily with 108 to 94.

Suwan played well and scored 41 points.

Every time he scored, the audience couldn't help but cheer in unison.

After the game, Suwan said directly: "It feels very good to be back in Polis."

The reporter asked him: "The Pacers have regained their fighting power less than two months after you left, and are now ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference. Does this mean that your influence on this team is not that great?"

Su Wan looked at the reporter with an idiotic look in his eyes: "Cleveland lost LeBron and is now ranked at the bottom of the league. LeBron must have left a lot of championships for Cleveland, right?"

This statement is a deadly one.

The reporter was speechless...

In fact, apart from this media reporter, no one else has linked the Pacers' resurgence to Suwan's lack of influence on the team.

Just kidding, when Su Wan left, he actually brought a lot of good resources to the team.

With the abilities of Larry Bird and Rick Carlisle, it would be strange if they couldn't integrate these resources to make the Pacers fight again.

and……

The Pacers have indeed become more combative, but given their current combat effectiveness, it is still difficult for them to win the championship.

This is the manifestation of the lack of Su Wan.

Even though the "legacy" left by Su Wan has made up for the team's weaknesses as much as possible, the impact of the absence of Su Wan is still huge, which just proves that Su Wan is irreplaceable.

Just like that, Suwan's first game back in Polis after the trade ended with a heartwarming scene.

New York media published:

“It’s time to look back!”

They are talking about none other than LeBron!

On January 1, four days after Suwan returned to Polis, it was time for LeBron James to return to Quicken Loans Arena for the first time since leaving Cleveland.

Tickets for the Quicken Loans Arena were sold out that day.

This is the same as Suwan returning to Conseco Arena.

But that's the only similarity.

The Pacers management prepared a bronze statue for Suwan.

Cavaliers fans also prepared a "bronze statue" for LeBron:
Some fans painted themselves with gold powder, wore the Heat's No. 6 jersey, and knelt in front of the Quicken Loans Arena.

His teammates took a video and posted it on YouTube with the title "LeBron apologizes to the entire Cleveland."

And this was just the beginning. When LeBron threw magnesium powder on the scene, all the Cavaliers fans were stunned.

They didn't expect that this sadistic person could be so shameless.

Countless curses were heard:

"Coward, you're just like the father you'll never find. You run away as soon as you say so!"

"You can only be the core in the Cavaliers. If you go to other teams, you are just a substitute!"

"LeBron, shouldn't your season ceremony be kneeling? Only in this way can you guarantee that the referee will whistle you!"

"You'll never be better than Su Wan, you damned coward!"

……

The fans were so angry that they started throwing things at LeBron.

He was so scared that he quickly walked towards the bench.

Security was temporarily added at the scene.

The referee walked up to LeBron and said unhappily, "Can you please stop irritating them, LeBron?"

Still throwing magnesium powder?
Aren’t you afraid that these angry fans will attack you and turn you into magnesium powder?
LeBron, however, looked calm and pretended not to care about all this.

Shaquille O'Neal looked at his close-up in the camera and sneered: "A guy who seeks attention will never change!"

New York media released two contrasting photos in real time:

Suwan received the "MVP" cheer from the audience at Conseco Arena; LeBron was attacked by various mineral water bottles, beverage bottles, and popcorn at Quicken Loans Arena...

The two photos put together have become art!
