Champions Creed

Chapter 328 Chapter 327: You play like fucking LeBron James! (Monthly ticket requested!)
LeBron and Michael passed away peacefully.

This is the biggest poop an NBA player has ever had on the court since Paul Pierce in the 2000 Finals.

No, two lumps, one for No. 23 and one for No. 45.

At the end of the game, all the Knicks fans were cheering.

Yao Ming had a good performance in the first game of the new season, with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks. Compared with last season, Yao Ming played more easily. He has really started to get used to life in the United States and playing in the NBA. He looks like a real top inside player.

Dwyane Wade was definitely a pleasant surprise, with 18 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals. His performance in his debut was beyond most people's expectations.

Even though Wade had a single game with 20+ points in the preseason, people really didn't expect him to perform similarly in the more intense regular season.

In the first game between Wade and Yao Ming, the Knicks defeated the super-favored Cavaliers by 14 points, which made fans all over New York curious about what kind of legendary story this combination would write next.

But the Cavaliers had a lot of accidents.

迈克尔.乔丹复出首战拿下了20分，但出手了21次，全场21中8，命中率不到40%。21次出手换来的20分，让这20分毫无价值。

天选之子勒布朗.詹姆斯13分5个篮板4次助攻外加7次失误，命中率同样不足40%。7次失误换来的4次助攻，让他的全能性成了笑话。

At first glance, their statistics seem to be pretty good, but because their efficiency is too low, they can't actually help the team at all.

You can imagine the mood of Cleveland fans at this moment. Last summer, apart from Kobe Bryant's Eagle County incident, the most reported basketball news in newspapers were about Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Most mainstream media were optimistic about their performance in the new season, and Michael Jordan himself boasted that they would at least make it to the division semifinals, which made all Cleveland fans feel like they were living a year in the offseason.

As a result, the Cavaliers had no way to deal with the New York Knicks in the opening game, as their performance was not very good last season and their biggest signings in the summer were only Wade and Tim Thomas. The Knicks were not considered a strong team in everyone's eyes!

They couldn't even beat a team that was recognized as a weak team!

In this state, it seems that the Cavaliers will have a hard time making it to the playoffs, let alone the divisional semifinals.

Moreover, the tone of the game between the Warriors and the Pistons yesterday was too high. Roger, who had been very low-key in the summer, defeated the defending champion in his first game after returning, which made the Cavaliers fans expect a similar ending.

But people do not share the same joys and sorrows. The Bay Area fans got everything they expected, while the Cleveland fans could only watch in disbelief as Michael Jordan and LeBron James stood on the court with their hands on their hips, helplessly accepting the outcome.

Tonight, countless men finally understood why their girlfriends were disappointed. Tonight, countless men finally understood not to boast before the end, saying things like "I'll fuck you to death tonight".

It's really hurtful that expectations are seriously mismatched with what you get.

The blood vessels on Michael Jordan's bald head were about to burst. He couldn't believe that LeBron James played so badly in this game.

Yes, Magic is also a point guard with a relatively high pass turnover rate, but it is not to the extent that he needs 4 turnovers to make 7 assists.

This is not caused by lack of experience, LeBron James is just afraid!
He broke into the inside several times and was blocked by Yao Ming before he suddenly remembered to pass the ball. This was because he began to be afraid to challenge Yao Ming after being blocked several times.

The worst part is, most of his pass targets were Jordan.

Even if Jordan's position is not good, he will subconsciously pass the ball.

This really made Wade feel great.

This is also one of the reasons why Michael Jordan is so inefficient, because when he receives the pass from James, there are often only a few seconds left for the offense, and he has no choice but to shoot against the defense.

And when Shandon Anderson increased the intensity of the defense, James didn't dare to make any moves at all.

Why did he keep going in without hesitation even though he knew Yao Ming was guarding the basket? Was it because he had no brains? Of course not, it was because he had no means to score from mid-range, so he could only choose to break through.

This is in stark contrast to his all-around performance in the preseason.

The performance of No. 23 today is enough to illustrate one thing: LeBron James' current so-called skills cannot be brought into play at all under high-intensity defense.

Shaquille O'Neal can dribble past opponents like a guard in training and one-on-one situations, but he almost never does that in official games because he will definitely be intercepted and question his life.

The same goes for LeBron James. If his skills cannot be fully utilized in official games, it is equivalent to having no skills.

It must be admitted that Shandon Anderson is an excellent defensive player, but he is not one of the top ones, not even the second best.

It's normal for a role player to be unable to handle Shandon Anderson, but it's really unacceptable if a player aiming to become a superstar can't handle Shandon Anderson.

Michael Jordan was extremely angry. LeBron James' performance made him feel angrier than losing the game.

He can lose, but he can't act like a wimp who can't fight a tough battle!
He wished he could walk up to the man with number 23 by the collar and tell him to take off the clothes because he didn't deserve it!
But Michael Jordan held back. Why did LeBron James still feel that Jordan was easy to get along with after spending a full training camp with him? Because Jordan had always been trying to control his temper.

The original Michael Jordan, who had six championships, could not understand why Kwame Brown was so stupid and why he could not do anything well. But now the Michael Jordan, who only has three championships, believes that you have to give people some opportunities to fail.

Not everyone can win all the time, including himself.

So he is more tolerant of rookies, which is why he has never lost his temper with James.

Otherwise he would have told that kid from Akron on the first day of training camp, "You better get your fucking shot more consistent before the season starts, or you won't be allowed to eat airplane food on the road!"

Today, Michael Jordan held back again.

He kept telling himself: Okay Michael, forget about this damn night, it's just this kid's first game, no need to be so hard on him.

Just then, Roger walked onto the scene.

He applauded and looked at Jordan and James, then told the Cavaliers' No. 23: "You let that old braggart take too many shots, and that's why you lost."

"Roger, shut up!" Jordan roared.

"Michael, why are you not arrogant anymore? Where is your pride? Why do I only see impotence and rage now? Didn't you say that you can easily surpass me last season with LeBron? Admit it, Michael, last season was the worst year of my career, but even so, you can't catch up at all."

"This is just the first game!" Jordan didn't waste any more time talking to Roger and turned to walk into the player tunnel.

James did not respond to Roger and immediately followed Jordan.

To be honest, Roger was surprised.

He was amazed at Jordan's endurance, how he could hold it in for so long without exploding.

But in the face of consecutive defeats, how long can that guy endure?

There was always going to be a game that would be the final straw that broke the camel's back in Jordan and James' fragile relationship.

At this time, Wade and Yao Ming had finished their on-site interviews, and the colorful-clothed man Sag found Roger, who was on the scene as a guest commentator today.

"Roger, before the game you always thought that LeBron and Michael could easily beat the Knicks, but tonight's result seems to be different from what you expected."

"It's not just me. Today's results are different from what most people expected. I think we should give Dwyane and Yao Ming more respect. As for LeBron and Michael, I really don't know what to say. The whole world knows that I love them, but I didn't expect them to be such untrustworthy, arrogant and incompetent trash! In the final analysis, we think too highly of them."

Roger got slapped in the face, but it was the most satisfying slap he had ever received.

Craig Sager shook his head. The whole world may not know that you love Michael and LeBron, but the whole world knows that the last two sentences you said are the truth.

Wade came up and laughed happily: "Hey Roger, as agreed, you will play against me in person the next time the Knicks and Warriors meet, right?"

"Of course Dwayne, I'm not the kind of person who takes what he says as fart. But please believe me, my friend, I'm not as easy to deal with as that useless old man."

"I'm not as easy to deal with as that high school rookie." Wade smiled and replied. He was so proud. He felt from the bottom of his heart that he was stronger than the Chosen One. It seemed that in this history, LeBron James was going to lose his best second-in-command.

Michael Jordan and LeBron James' debuts ended in disaster, but even so, their popularity has not diminished at all.

For reporters, the Cavaliers can bring huge traffic whether they win or lose.

So, when Jordan and James walked into the press conference, dozens of media were already waiting.

There is no doubt that the reporters' questions were quite embarrassing.

"Michael, have you ever thought about the possibility that the team won't make the playoffs this year?"

"Fuck, stop insulting me! Can't make the playoffs? Impossible, absolutely impossible! If the Cavaliers don't make the playoffs, I will add a sentence under the statue at the United Center: But those who will always submit to Roger!"

As we all know, when Michael Jordan retired for the first time, the Bulls built a statue for him, and a sentence was engraved on the base of the statue: Unprecedented.

After the second three consecutive championships in the original timeline, the Bulls added another sentence at the end: There will be no one like it later.

If the sentence added at the end really became "but those who will always submit to Roger", the show effect would be absolutely explosive.

The reporter was puzzled: "What does this have to do with Roger?"

Of course it does matter. Michael Jordan always wanted to defeat Roger.

He hopes to lead the rookies to do better than Roger, he hopes to achieve results in team management that Roger cannot match, and he hopes Nike can surpass Reebok led by Roger.

From beginning to end, his enemies never changed.

But Michael Jordan didn't want to talk about it. He simply and rudely replied to the reporter: "It's none of your business!"

"Well Michael, what do you think of LeBron's debut performance?"

Michael Jordan resisted the urge to blurt out "His performance was a piece of shit" and just nodded slightly: "LeBron is just a rookie, and this is just a rookie's first game. It doesn't mean anything."

After saying that, Michael Jordan stood up and left the press conference, leaving James alone.

This was the first time James saw Michael Jordan so indifferent and so angry.

It was also the first time I heard Jordan call himself a "rookie".

I thought he would be more respectful in addressing me.

Those rumors about Jordan and Chris Webber began to echo in James' mind.

Soon, a reporter asked again: "LeBron, will this loss affect your relationship with Michael? We all know that Michael is crazy about winning. He is likely to blame his teammates after losing a game. Will this happen in the Cavaliers?"

James answered firmly: "No matter what, my relationship with Michael will not change or waver. He will always be my good brother. This is a bad start, but we will make things better, we will."

Back in the locker room, James discovered that Michael Jordan had smashed the hangers in his locker all over the place.

Jordan was really embarrassed by this defeat. He had waited for six years and was looking forward to this night with full confidence, but he was beaten to a pulp by two rookies. The most humiliating thing was that Roger, that bastard, came to see him laugh, and he really got to see it!

So when he saw James walk in, Jordan stared at him sharply.

James swore that this was a look Jordan had never shown before.

The look was like an emperor looking at his soldiers, without any emotion, only orders and oppression.

Jordan stared at James and said word by word: "LeBron, you better perform better in the next game than today!"

"Of course Michael."

Will their relationship never change?

LeBron James once again doubted something he had said.

The next day, the Cleveland Cavaliers once again became the focus of the entire league.

Because they are a well-known joke.

Jordan and James are like Key and Peele in 2012, the most hilarious black brothers. Before the season started, everything they said became a joke.

Especially Jordan's words "I can do better than Roger and Amare" are simply a source of joy for fans.

Charles Barkley played the highlights of Jordan and James' mistakes on the show and laughed out loud: "When LeBron sees Yao, he always throws the ball out as soon as possible, but the unlucky Michael always catches the ball. This combination is so interesting. One always passes the ball to the other in the last few seconds of the offensive time. I can't tell whether this is too selfless or too selfish."

Michael Jordan might not have done better than Roger, but Roger couldn't be satisfied with just outdoing little Michael Jordan.

He also has his own problems to deal with.

In the second game of the regular season, the Warriors faced the San Antonio Spurs, the Western Conference champions last season. However, the Warriors, who had defeated the Pistons in the previous game, lost against the Spurs.

In this game, Stoudemire was mainly defending the Admirals - because they did not win the championship last season, this Admiral did not choose to retire and chose to continue playing in the NBA.

Mutombo defended the poker-faced joke lover, and most of the time the African mountain defended well. But now the age-defying Mutombo has limited physical strength. In high-level and high-intensity games, his physical strength can only last for about 25 minutes.

Mutombo had this problem in the last game. Later in the game, Mutombo allowed the two Wallaces to grab several frontcourt rebounds because he could no longer jump or hold his position.

Today, his physical decline was reflected in his inability to defend Tim Duncan.

When Mutombo began to get tired, Duncan's low-post singles were always extremely easy.

The Warriors once asked Marcus Camby to replace Mutombo to defend, but after Camby came on the court, Duncan was able to attack as he pleased, and his defensive effect was even worse than when Mutombo was tired!

Camby didn't try hard at all, and in order to get more block stats, he would jump as hard as he could as soon as Duncan raised the basketball.

In the end, Marcus Camby took advantage of Duncan twice, but the actual defensive effect? ​​It's hard to describe.

Duncan finally scored 36 points, Tony Parker scored 18 points, and the emerging Argentine sword scored 15 points. The Spurs broke the Warriors' first home court.

After the game, Hubie Brown went back to the locker room and cursed Camby: "I'm tired of your statistics-based basketball, you selfish bastard. You play like a fucking LeBron James! His assists are based on 7 turnovers, and your blocks are based on countless times you're out of position!"

The power of the words "You play like LeBron James" was revealed for the first time. Marcus Camby felt extremely insulted and stood up to leave.

But Mutombo stopped him and said, "Kid, you can't do this. We are all working hard for the team. What about you? Aren't you part of the team?"

Camby still said nothing, but pushed Mutombo roughly, causing Mutombo's head to hit the locker.

Camby then unapologetically opened the locker room door and prepared to leave, but before he could take a step, someone kicked him hard from behind and kicked him out of the locker room.

After falling, Camby turned around and saw No. 14, his face turned pale.

"From today on, you are officially DNP."

Camby climbed up angrily, and then there was a loud "bang".

Roger simply closed the locker room door.
