NBA: Starting with the undercut by Parker and Bowen

"Rookie, you have angered the king! Prepare to face his wrath!"

Upon receiving the inbound pass from his teammate, James dribbled forward while letting out a roar at Yang Lin, who was tracking back to defend.

king?

Claiming to be king?

Yang Lin's mind went blank for a moment.

It's understandable that the media would report on it; after all, those in the media have a bottom line and morals that are practically the sewers of humanity.

But don't you feel a little awkward referring to yourself now?

However, considering that LeBron James is the man who can tattoo "God of Heaven" on his body and has repeatedly referred to himself as GOAT since then.

Yang Lin instantly understood this performative personality.

He chuckled.

Yang Lin glanced at LeBron James with disdain and sneered:

"King? Have you never been to school? Even I, a foreigner, know that the United States is a federal country, and it has never had a king."

"Commissioner David Stern was right to ban high school draft picks; otherwise, people would think the entire NBA league is illiterate!"

"I think the league should specifically remind rookies during future rookie training sessions that the United States is a federal country, and it has never had a king."

The scope of the attack is quite broad; there are countless high school students in the league these days.

The blacksmith of the West Coast, the iron-willed jump shot king of Minneapolis, the deadpan star of Houston, the universally appealing Superman of Orlando...

Wow, these guys seem to have made quite a few surprising remarks.

If high school players are banned from the draft, will LeBron James be able to set some new records again in 17 or 18 years?

The player with the lowest educational background in the league? The high school student with the longest professional career?

Um... Just to mention, this season, the Wizards are the only team in the Eastern Conference with over 100 points.

However, the Jazz's scoring was very even.

This season, five Jazz players have scored in double figures, with the highest scorer being Carlos Boozer, who is just over 20 points.

But Boozer's scoring comes more from pick-and-roll shots than from strong post-up plays.

The lack of individual scoring threats is the weakness of this Jazz team.

Or rather, the Jazz under coach Sloan had this problem.

They are highly disciplined, have a stable record, and are able to defeat weaker opponents; however, they lack an X-factor that can improve the team's performance when things are close or when they are at a disadvantage.

Knowing all this, and with three sure-fire three-pointers in the Finals, Yang Lin decided to be the one to raise the bar for the Jazz.

Holding a basketball, Yang Lin said to James, who had a serious expression:

"LeBron, has the King finished being angry? The rookie was a little distracted and didn't pay much attention."

"Tell the rookie how the king got angry. Was he angry because he couldn't get the ball on offense? Or was he angry because he could only run around with a rookie?"

"Hmph~~" James looked angry, but didn't say anything.

Trash talk that's bound to lose, there's no way to refute it, you can only shut up and act like a coward.

"Haha~~" Yang Lin laughed wildly, looking exactly like a villain.

Seeing Okur trying to set a screen, Yang Lin waved his hand and shouted:

"Memet, no need for a screen, just spread out. There's a king here, and I'm going to be the emperor emeritus."

After saying that, Yang Lin realized something was wrong; the retired emperor already had someone else.

Hmm... not yet.

Delonte West has not yet joined the Cleveland Cavaliers, and LeBron James has not yet become close teammates with his future father.

In James' increasingly red eyes.

Yang Lin pointed to his feet and, mimicking Bird's tone, shouted, "I'm going to hit a three-pointer from here!"

After saying that, without waiting for James's response, Yang Lin jumped up and shot.

James was very focused on defense this time. When he saw Yang Lin jump, he immediately jumped as well, trying to block Yang Lin's shot.

With a height difference of over ten centimeters and an even greater difference in wingspan, James was like a giant, menacing spider, blocking all of Yang Lin's shooting routes.

Yang Lin had anticipated the difference in physique and physical attributes between himself and his opponent, so he added a fadeaway jumper and increased the arc of his shot.

He's guaranteed to make a three-pointer anyway; if he wasn't trying to show off, he could have just shot it anywhere.

A difficult fadeaway three-pointer.

James was determined to make a contribution on defense and block Yang Lin's shot, so he leaned forward and lunged forward with his right hand.

Unexpectedly, Yang Lin leaned back so far that he only managed to touch Yang Lin's wrist.

"Beep~~" Defensive foul.

"Swish~~" The basketball went into the net.

3 plus 1, a chance to score four points.

Boom~~

Yang Lin's goal ignited the Energy Solutions Arena.

"Beat-CLE~~Beat-CLE~~Beat-CLE~~"

"Yang~~MVP~~Yang~~MVP~~Yang~~MVP~~"

Yang Lin leaned back too far and fell to the floor after making his move.

But he didn't wait for his teammates to help him up; he quickly got up on his own.

Amid the cheers of the Utah fans, he shouted at the distraught James:

"King? This world belongs to me. You can only take what I give you, and you can't take what I don't give you."

"With me around, you can only ever be a prince."

Ascension to the throne?

Have you ever heard of a crown prince who lived for fifty years?
