LeBron James, your house got robbed.

Los Angeles International Airport

Scott was still trying to argue his case; he didn't believe he was willing to leave just like that.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that this Cavaliers team will achieve good results this season.

Coupled with the team's poor performance last season, this season's experience could help him completely turn his reputation around and give him a chance to become a top coach.

The media loves this kind of narrative: a superstar descends from the sky to save the team from its slump.

But looking at Chen Shuo, who was as calm as still water, Scott had no idea where to begin. After thinking for a long time, he could only manage to utter a single sentence.

"Whatever grudges we may have, the team's interests must come first."

"The game is about to start, and the team can't be without a coach."

Chen Shuo's tone was flat and detached from any worldly concerns.

"Until a new coach is found, Mike Langabady will serve as the interim coach."

Scott checked Chen Shuo's expression again and again, knowing that this was a decision that could not be questioned.

After realizing that Chen Shuo would not change, Scott completely broke down and began to talk nonsense.

"I have given a lot to the team."

"Damn it, you're a dictator."

"Gilbert won't allow you to ruin his team like this."

Seeing that the other party didn't have anything important to say, Chen Shuo turned to Grant, who was waiting behind him, and said:

"Send Coach Scott back to Cleveland."

Then, amidst Scott's insults, he turned and left.

That evening, a bombshell announcement broke in the North American sports world.

WoJ updated his Twitter at 3 a.m., saying that the Cavaliers are trying to send head coach Byron Scott home.

[Cavaliers head coach Scott has been fired by the team]

Such a hashtag quickly rose to the top of Twitter's trending topics.

A short message, without any context, went viral across every corner of the internet.

After a long and exhausting chase, Chen Shuo headed straight for the hotel.

The first thing I didn't do was go to sleep.

For him, the most urgent task is to confirm the coaching candidate.

Chen Shuo didn't lie down in bed until dawn. He was busy until the sky began to lighten.

I need to get some sleep to prepare for the storm that night.

By the time Chen Shuo woke up, the incident had been brewing for a whole day and had become the biggest hot topic in the American sports world.

The first to jump out was ESPN columnist Windhorst.

Windhorst immediately aimed the cannon at Chen Shuo.

They accused Chen Shuo, as general manager, of excluding dissidents and abusing his power for personal gain, focusing only on developing his own protégés Thompson and Leonard, while completely disregarding the team's performance.

They specifically cited Scott's previous interview as evidence.

It was stated that a week ago, Chen Shuo had used his power as general manager to threaten Scott, allowing Thompson to take more than six three-point shots.

Finally, it was revealed that Scott's sudden departure was related to the decision to remove Thompson from the starting lineup.

Chen Shuo watched with great interest.

As James's mouthpiece during this period, Windhorst is quite capable; this is almost the whole truth.

In addition, Magic Johnson also stepped forward to give an interview, publicly supporting his former teammate:

"Scott has contributed a lot to the rise of the Cavaliers. He led this new team to a ten-game winning streak, and his contribution is indispensable."

"No matter what position you're in, you can't treat a top coach like that."

The magician also pointed out in the interview:

"Chen Shuo's behavior could very well lead to Paul leaving the team."

This statement, like blood dripping into water, emitted a foul odor and quickly ignited the Los Angeles media.

Mike Bresnahan, a renowned expert at the Los Angeles Times, published a lengthy article attempting to analyze the impact of Scott's departure on Paul's future.

"An unprofessional management team."

"Is dismissing Paul's mentor a way to check Paul's power?"

"Will Gilbert intervene when the team changes coaches during a ten-game winning streak?"

All these claims lead to the conclusion that Paul will leave the team at the end of the season.

Chen Shuo focused on the last paragraph of the article, in which Bresnahan pointed out that Paul was entering the market and his next destination was likely the Los Angeles Lakers.

As a veteran Lakers team reporter, Bresnahan earnestly suggested that the Lakers should free up enough salary cap space during the offseason.

The truth has finally come out; they've finally laid their cards on the table.

Chen Shuo pondered Bresnahan's statement.

Since a trade to team up with Kobe is not an option, joining him as a free agent is a good alternative.

This is an interesting line of thinking for Paul.

"Knock knock—"

Chen Shuo opened the door, picked up the suit brought by the hotel waiter, and casually placed $20 on the plate as a tip.

Tonight is an important occasion, so we need to be a bit more formal.

The nights in Los Angeles are sparkling with stars.

Staples Center.

Chen Shuo, dressed in a sharp all-black suit, strolled leisurely into the stadium.

Some fans are busy making trouble for Paul.

"We Want Chris—"

It was clear that he had taken Bresnahan's advice into account.

He kept calling out to Paul, who was warming up on the court.

For Lakers fans, the veto of the Paul trade is one of their biggest regrets.

Therefore, Paul became the dream man of Lakers fans.

However, Gasol, on the other side of the court, didn't look so good.

It's one thing to try to trade yourself, but now that the trade has failed, the fans are still playing this game. After all, you did win two championships for the team.

Chen Shuo was unaware of Gasol's thoughts.

If I knew, I would definitely tell him.

For a city like Los Angeles, the Lakers are a powerhouse.

Being fickle is basic human nature; Los Angeles is never short of celebrities, and exchanging a mole for a white moonlight is a no-brainer.

Bynum, on the other hand, seemed oblivious, as if the fans were just having fun.

A few hisses rose up, gradually growing louder, and the Staples Center cameras quickly focused on Chen Shuo.

Lakers fans are taking their own way to get justice for Scott.

But in Chen Shuo's view, these fans were just looking for a good show and didn't mind making things worse.

So he put one hand to his ear and waved the other hand wildly, finally getting the boos he wanted from the crowd.

There were even some cheers mixed in.

This is more like it; this is what Los Angeles fans are like.

Chen Shuo continued walking towards his seat.

To be honest, he's already starting to like this feeling.

A villainous character under the spotlight.

Kobe looked at Chen Shuo; this guy was actually quite interesting.

From another perspective, Thompson saw Chen Shuo as arrogant and domineering yet also capable of controlling himself.

To be honest, he thought it was incredibly cool.

He's done all the cool stuff he wanted to show off.

How come he never noticed this arrogant side of Chen Shuo before?

Screw your dream lake.

Thompson was determined to send the Lakers to hell in this game. He wanted to stand with Chen Shuo and beat up the Lakers fans in the arena.

Although he was naturally quiet, he couldn't help but have some thoughts about what Chen Shuo had done for him.

All he can do now is sink those damn three-pointers.

"Duang—"

"Duang—"

"Duang—"

"—"

Thompson's repeated runs, catches, and shots only resulted in one piece of iron after another.

Even Kobe Bryant, the veteran on the other side, admired Thompson's talent and potential upon seeing him like this.

Thompson's courage in missing 10 consecutive three-pointers at Staples Center was only slightly less than his own three consecutive airballs in the playoffs when he was eliminated.

After all, it's a playoff elimination game for me.

Nevertheless, Kobe still planned to give the kid a good talking-to after the game.

The magician on the sidelines watched Thompson's performance speechlessly. Chen Shuo had fired Scott because of this kid.

Chen Shuo noticed the magician on the sidelines.

After calculating the time, I realized that Old Bass was already battling cancer in the hospital.

The Lakers' power struggle is about to begin, and Magic Johnson will have a significant role to play.

Of course, the main reason is still the elder Buss, and that trust in the separation of powers.

Looking up at the score on the big screen, it had reached 100:82, and the home team was poised for victory.

In this game, Thompson completely outplayed Kobe in terms of missed shots.

Chen Shuo was bored sitting on the sidelines, so he casually looked up the record for consecutive missed three-pointers in a single game. Thompson only needed two more shots to break this record.

For the sake of this record, Chen Shuo has no intention of replacing Thompson.
