Don't talk trash to him.

Chapter 36 This public opinion attack really works!

If he competes with LeBron for the top spot, he will end up being traded by the Cavaliers.

So even if he leads other teams in the future and beats the Cavaliers in the playoffs and the finals and wins the championship before them.

Nor can it cover up that he lost the battle for power in the Cavaliers to LeBron.

Su Wan doesn't like such stories.

He wants to be the kind of player that the Cavaliers management would rather offend LeBron James than keep him in the process of competing with LeBron for the top spot. He doesn't want to be kicked out like a "stray dog".

Of course, this goal must be difficult to achieve.

He knows exactly what LeBron means to Cleveland.

But again, this is 2004, not 2009!
LeBron James is also on the road to proving his ability.

From this perspective, the gap between him and LeBron James is not that big.

It's like a running race held in Cleveland. LeBron has more than him now, just his status as a local player and the sponsor logo printed on his clothes. When he really runs better than LeBron, can Cleveland just drag him off the track?
Maybe it was possible before, but in the past few years, Cleveland has dragged too many contestants out of this track. Many of them were invited by themselves to participate in the competition. If they drag Su Wan out again this time, I'm afraid no newcomers will dare to participate in the next competition.

"No, we must not let their conflict escalate further. So, you can find a few media outlets to shift the blame for this defeat onto Paul, saying that he did not use the player properly, which led to the loss of this game."

In the general manager's office of the Quicken Loans Arena, after learning that Suwan had lost the game and had gone berserk on the bus, and was almost about to point his finger at LeBron and curse him, Danny Ferry quickly asked his assistant Chris Grant to contact the media. He was ready to sacrifice the "bus" to save the "man". First, divert the media's attention from Suwan and LeBron, and prevent the conflict between the two from being exposed to the media.

Sometimes, it is the excessive media attention that makes things worse.

then……

"Let's leave it like this for now and observe the situation for two more days!"

Danny Ferry unconsciously walked to the window again. The bright moonlight and the shining stars made the night view of Cleveland very beautiful tonight. If LeBron and Suwan can shine like the night sky, the future of the Cavaliers will be infinitely bright.

The next morning, the news of the Heat's victory over the Cavaliers dominated the sports sections of major media outlets.

There were only three games yesterday.

This game was also Shaquille O'Neal's debut with the Heat, so it naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Although the Heat won, the person who stood out from the crowd in this game was Suwan.

His blockade of Dwyane Wade in the second half, his personal offensive performance, and the Cavaliers' momentum in chasing points during this period were recognized by many media.

ESPN senior expert Zach Lowe commented on the game: "The Cavaliers failed to win this game, and the coaching staff should bear the main responsibility. If I were the head coach of the Cavaliers, I would at least design four or five singles tactics for Uncle. This is what he deserves for his performance in the game."

Coincidentally, the Cleveland Plain Dealer also thought so: "Paul Silas should correctly realize the role he needs to play in the team. He is the one who can share the burden with LeBron when LeBron is double-teamed. His singles are enough to attract the opponent's best perimeter defenders." When Paul Silas saw these reports, his head was buzzing.

No, why are you all coming towards me?
How could I not know that uncle has such a role?
Can……

The key is that someone...

I don’t want to!

At this time, Paul Silas obviously did not realize that his situation was becoming delicate.

When Su Wan saw the news, he just laughed.

This can also be considered an "old traditional art".

Whenever LeBron's team has a problem, no matter what the problem is, the first person to take the blame is the head coach. Not only is he the player with the most All-Star teammates and the most trades in his career, he is also the player with the most head coaches. From entering the league in 03 to his son entering the league in 2024, he has experienced a total of 10 head coaches. On average, he changes a head coach every two years. Being on a team with him is not only a "high-risk industry" for players, but also a "high-risk industry" for head coaches.

But Suwan had no intention of helping Silas stabilize his position as head coach of the Cavaliers.

Who made this guy prefer LeBron James at the beginning?

Su Wan is a person who doesn't bear grudges at all and is simply petty.

At 10: am, he drove to the Quicken Loans Arena. After today's routine training, the Cavaliers will board a plane to Milwaukee. The Cavaliers will then experience two consecutive away games, the first game against the Bucks and the second game against the Hawks. So he brought his luggage with him.

Brandon Malone walked out of the conference room and happened to meet Su Wan at the elevator entrance. He told him the good news: "Paul and several of our assistants have just studied your game videos. He plans to arrange some singles tactics for you. Seize the opportunity and perform well. As long as the effect is good, these tactics will become the Cavaliers' common tactics in the new season. You should know what this means."

Su Wan was a little surprised, but when he thought about the overwhelming doubts about Paul Silas from the outside world, he was not so surprised.

Ma Long showed Su Wan the tactical board in advance.

Paul Silas put a lot of thought into it and designed several sets of positions. He also arranged different formations based on Suwan's different offensive choices.

"In addition, in order to make up for your lack of vision, we have arranged several tactical positions for you. If you encounter obstacles during a breakthrough, you can first look for the players at these points..." Malone's final introduction allowed Su Wan to fully understand the specifications of the tactics that Paul Silas had developed for him.

An absolutely core-level tactical system!
He will be like the "one star and four shining" LeBron, Deron Williams under the "UCLA system", and Allen Iverson under Philadelphia's "four defenses and one offense" system. In this system, his advantages will be infinitely magnified, and at the same time, his disadvantages, such as his lack of passing vision, will be minimized as much as possible.

In other words, he will perform even better.

Otherwise, why would LeBron like to create hype so much!
This public opinion attack really works!

Look at Paul Silas, he was scolded by the media and then the tactics were immediately arranged for him.
