LeBron James, your house got robbed.
Chapter 8 This time things really didn't go as planned.
Game 6 of the NBA Finals: Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks.
As the final whistle blew, Dallas celebrated wildly at American Airlines Arena, as the German team achieved legendary status in this match, shedding its "soft" label.
LeBron James no longer possesses the same high spirits he displayed a year ago when he shouted "not 1...not 7" on national television. Instead, he lowers his head and walks towards the player tunnel with a gloomy face.
He was probably planning his remarks for the press conference later.
Chen Shuo withdrew his gaze, while Gilbert waved his fist, celebrating the traitor's defeat.
Gilbert appeared exceptionally excited throughout the game.
Whether driven by business interests or personal grudges, Gilbert's hatred for James is genuine.
This shows that historically, the collaboration between Gilbert and James was essentially a compromise between personal feelings and commercial interests.
After venting his emotions, Gilbert turned to look at Chen Shuo:
"One last question"
Why are you so sure Miami will lose?
Gilbert doesn't believe in curses or anything like that; they're just things used to fool people and create buzz.
All of Chen Shuo's actions so far have been based on the assumption that James would lose.
The problem is that if James wins, Chen Shuo will have no chance to turn things around.
Whether it's within their own organization or within the entire NBA.
Chen Shuo had anticipated this question and spoke very seriously:
"The Heat's Big Three haven't found a suitable system."
"James's skill set dictates that he must be a ball-handler to fully utilize his talent."
"As the least prominent member of the Big Three, Bosh sacrificed ball possession, which also limited his playing time."
Ultimately, this season's Heat are Wade's team.
"Furthermore, the Mavericks' strength has been severely underestimated; their roster depth is far superior to that of the Heat."
These are basically the analyses of this match by experts from later generations; Chen Shuo merely borrowed them.
But to convince Gilbert, it's still a bit too late.
Chen Shuo began to adjust his facial expressions, and his voice deliberately became trembling and full of emotion.
"All of these combined are enough to bring the Mavericks' winning percentage to over 7%."
"I've always been a lucky person; 7% is enough for me to go all in."
Gilbert saw the gambler's fervor in Chen Shuo's face; coincidentally, as someone who had started from scratch, he had never lacked the courage to take a gamble.
"Chen, I'll have a serious talk with Grant; you need his help."
Chen Shuo was secretly delighted; he had finally managed to keep his position.
Meanwhile, James, having finished showering, had already entered the media room.
As I slowly sat down, I kept telling myself to stay calm and composed so that I could naturally shift the blame.
Through constant self-suggestion, James answered the first question in a very official manner.
The first question posed by the Heat's reporter was quite conventional and not particularly pointed.
The next reporter is from the Cleveland Plain News.
Alva Fields broke through James' defense in just three seconds.
"LeBron, what are your thoughts on the Cleveland curse? Have Chen Shuo's remarks affected you?"
James's speech suddenly quickened.
"Absolutely not"
"Those who want to see me fail, they will wake up tomorrow and still be living the same life, facing the same problems as today."
"And I will continue to live the life I love and do the things I love."
After James finished speaking, he suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly pulled the microphone back over to speak:
"By the way, the general manager in Cleveland, his name is Chen Shuo, is that pronounced correctly?"
"Forget it, we don't need to dwell on this. I'm not even sure if he'll be in this league next season."
"..."
When Chen Shuo saw this interview, he couldn't help but chuckle. Life really wasn't going well for him.
I've taken the blame for all the LeBron haters this time. Before they even have a chance to have a good life, I'll be the one to suffer.
However, it's not all bad; James's initiative will make the opening of this scene more eye-catching.
After the Finals, the story of Nowitzki leading his team to victory against the super team of three became a hot topic in the American sports world.
No one dared to call the German machine a coward anymore, and James quickly became the target of all attacks.
Numerous NBA legends and commentators have spoken out again, condemning the "super team" behavior once more. Online fans have launched a barrage of attacks, mocking the behavior from every angle.
Before winning a championship, James was destined to have no say in public opinion.
Riding on this wave of negative attention, many of Chen Shuo's remarks during the playoffs were also rehabilitated by fans.
LeBron James' lack of charismatic leadership has become a new battleground for his fans and detractors.
The "Cleveland curse" has become a popular meme as LeBron James moved south to Miami.
Just as the hype reached its peak, the Cavaliers announced they would be holding a press conference.
At the press conference, Chen Shuo announced the team's two goals for the new season.
Winning the championship, and sending James fishing.
This move brought the feud between the Cavaliers and LeBron James to the forefront.
When faced with reporters' questions, Chen Shuo made his point clear and unambiguous: the team's core strategy for rebuilding during the offseason was to defeat the Heat and take down LeBron James.
Most people think this goal is meaningless. Given the Cavaliers' current form, even returning to the playoffs would be difficult, let alone eliminating LeBron James and competing for the championship. It's just wishful thinking.
But some reporters sincerely asked:
"I mean, if both teams make the playoffs, but you can't guarantee they'll meet."
Chen Shuo answered the question seriously because he had indeed thought about it carefully.
"If the two teams go far enough, they will eventually meet, for example, in the Eastern Conference Finals."
"I think if they work hard, they still have a good chance of making it to the Eastern Conference Finals."
After saying this, even Chen Shuo felt that his tone had been too arrogant.
However, no matter how big a boast you make, as long as you can achieve it, it's a perfect show-off, and Wang Bode is very experienced in this kind of thing.
"bite--"
The prerequisite quest "The General Manager of Cleveland" has been completed and the reward has been distributed. The follow-up quest "The Curse of Cleveland" is now open.
[Mission: The Curse of Cleveland]
Mission objective: Prevent LeBron James from winning the NBA championship before the Cavaliers do.
[Reward: Unknown]
Chen Shuo stared at the newly triggered task. Wasn't this just the boast he had made? To be more precise, it was Gilbert who first said it, and he was just making it more elaborate.
Upon a moment's thought, Chen Shuo realized that this task was not simple.
He not only had to lead the Cavaliers to a championship, but also make sure that James didn't win a championship before that.
You have to understand that LeBron James has long legs. If he can't win a championship with the Heat, he will naturally go to the next strong team.
The best way is to lead this Cavaliers team to a championship as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, Chen Shuo began to examine the prize: [Sibodu's Little Leather Whip].
After reading the text several times, Chen Shuo finally understood its principle, and this prop truly lived up to its name.
Now it's time to get down to business. Those two precious fortune-telling slots are waiting for me to use.
However, before that, Chen Shuo had to go to the team's training facility in the suburbs.
