Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 31 A weakened version of Michael Jordan, LeBron is like an enhanced Scottie Pippen!

Kenny Smith looked at the statistics in front of him:

勒布朗-詹姆斯20投8中，罚球10罚8中，全场砍下24分8篮板6助攻2盖帽2抢断，投篮命中率40%，罚球命中率80%，三分球命中率2投0中，全场一共出现了5次失误；
苏万同样出手20次，命中了其中的11球，罚球4罚3中，全场砍下25分5篮板4助攻1抢断1盖帽，投篮命中率55%，罚球命中率75%，全场一共出现了2次失误；
Just from the data of the two of them, it is enough to call them "Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen of the Cavaliers"!
But how to answer Barkley's question seems a bit difficult...

LeBron is the "Chosen One" chosen by Sports Illustrated, and Cleveland also regards him as the "Son of the City". He also wears No. 23. No matter how you look at him, he should be that Jordan.

But in this game, when the Cavaliers were at a disadvantage and in a stalemate, it was Suwan who used his wing singles to help the team open up the situation. He also took the initiative to defend Artest. These were all "Jordan actions."

On the contrary, after he opened up the situation, LeBron James' breakthroughs, passes, and turnovers looked quite similar to Pippen's.

What else could he say?

Facing Barkley's extremely greasy eyes and the strange smile on the corner of his mouth, Kenny Smith said: "After watching this game, I think Uncle is like a weakened version of Michael Jordan, and LeBron is like a strengthened Scottie Pippen!"

Barkley rolled his eyes.

Your uncle dotes on his father!
Which "enhanced version of Pippen" doesn't dare to defend Artest?
Su Wan sat down on the bench, wiped his sweat with a towel, and followed "Big Z" who walked off the court. He passed by him and rubbed his head with his big hand: "Congratulations, uncle, a perfect debut!"

Calderon handed over a cup of Gatorade, with envy in his eyes. He also got a chance to play in this game, but only for 7 minutes and 34 seconds, and the time was very fragmented. Paul Silas replaced him when LeBron needed a breather. Therefore, he did not perform well and did not even touch the ball twice.

Su Wan could sense his frustration, took the Gatorade, and patted him on the shoulder: "There will be a chance!"

"Rookie, it's time for class. Now let the veteran tell you what is the first thing to do after playing a game with a player like Ron Artest!" Newbell got an ice pack from somewhere and very considerately wrapped it around Su Wan's chest.

It was only at this time that Su Wan discovered that his chest was blue and purple, as if he had been poisoned.

After fighting against a player like Artest, this is what happened!

Reporters quickly noticed the scene.

Bullying rookies is an NBA tradition.

It is very rare to see someone like Newbel treating Su Wan like a master.

Moreover, the impression Su Wan gave them was that of a person with a very flamboyant personality. Few veterans should be able to get used to such a person.

Why are you looking at...

Does it feel a bit like "group favorite"?

Among the reporters who took this photo, there were some from China. They even blocked Newbell in the player tunnel and asked him why he did this. Newbell answered directly: "In fact, I was almost exhausted. It's hard to defend Ron Artest. He is a beast. I didn't expect him to stand up. I saw the leadership qualities in him!"

LeBron looked at the "happy" crowd surrounding Suwan and suddenly felt like an outsider.

He had never felt so unfamiliar with the Cavaliers.

Like tonight’s win over the Pacers…

It would have been extremely exciting to defeat last season's No. 1 regular season team.

But when the final whistle sounded, he wasn't the least bit excited.

Instead, I feel... boring!

This victory was far from what he had imagined before the game.

In his imagination, the Cavaliers won the game tonight because of his continuous breakthroughs and passing, his efforts to lead his teammates, his layups at critical moments to get free throw opportunities, and then he made the free throws steadily to lead the team to victory.

All the spotlights are shining on his head!
He used the first game of the new season to announce:
I am stronger!
But fantasy is full and reality is very skinny.

What put the Cavaliers in trouble was his consecutive passing errors, but it was Suwan's continuous singles with the ball that opened the situation in difficult moments.

He is the most dazzling Cavaliers player tonight!
It was so dazzling that even he, the core of the Cavaliers and the owner of Cleveland, felt a little dimmed.

A heart-wrenching scene then appeared:

LeBron watched the host of the live interview walk past him with a smile, walk towards Suwan, and then... the fans who had not left the scene yet, cheered for Suwan in unison.

In the eyes of these people, there is only Su Wan at this moment!
"When you learn not to use your eyes to defend, I will make up for it!"

"First, I have to get that damn ball too!"

"LeBron, it doesn't matter if you're not in good shape, I'll help you win!"

"LeBron, why don't you high-five me!"

"When we're chasing points, give me all the balls!"

LeBron suddenly remembered every word Su Wan shouted at him during the game, and it was so clear. A sense of crisis spread in his mind. Looking at Su Wan who was beginning to be interviewed, a thought that even LeBron himself felt a little absurd came to his mind:
Must be careful with Su Wan, this guy may very well replace him!
Walking into the player tunnel, LeBron was in a much better mood as he was surrounded by reporters.

only……

"LeBron, how do you evaluate Uncle's debut? Who do you think was better compared to your debut last year?"

"Uncle's debut was perfect. Do you think he was the one who contributed the most to the Cavaliers in this game?"

"During the game, it seems that you had some conflicts. What happened during that time?"

"I once acted like the boss of this team, so LeBron, do you feel a sense of crisis?"

……

All of them were questions about Suwan, and each of them was so difficult to answer that LeBron's smile froze again. After organizing his words in his mind for a long time, LeBron James said, "You know, Uncle has always been that kind of player, and he performed very well, but we are different players, and the Cavaliers are in a different situation."

"We all did what we were supposed to do to beat the Pacers. You can see it by watching the game video. I was organizing and passing the ball, Suwan scored, and his singles were also very efficient. Of course, the basis of all this is that the rest of us attracted our own defense very well. He did what he was supposed to do, and so did we."

"We did have some heated exchanges, but that's okay. I can see things that my teammates can't see, and I have my own understanding. We are still in the process of running in, but it's not a big problem."

"There is no competition between me and my uncle. My style of play is there. I am a selfless player. I will do everything to make the team win. This is how I have always played. Everyone knows this. What else can I say? Let's see what happens next."
