LeBron James, your house got robbed.

Chapter 132 The Knight's Last Piece of the Puzzle

Compared to the Lakers' new F4, the breakup of the South Beach Big Three is more eye-catching.

The elite team reunited in Miami, announced Decision 1 on a nationally televised broadcast, and shouted "Not 7" to the Miami fans.

Miami fans admitted, "It's unimaginable that the Big Three couldn't bring a championship trophy here."

"If someone had told me two years ago that the Heat would be eliminated by the Cavaliers, I would have shoved a gun into his mouth."

The reporter quickly and gently comforted the fans.

Most media outlets were not optimistic about Riley's deal.

Even Alan Howard, a veteran reporter for the Miami Herald, a local media outlet, spoke out bluntly: "If James can't really step up and take responsibility as a leader, this trade is meaningless."

Windhorst questioned the trade, but his criticism was directed at Riley: "Who should be our starting center, this rookie center?"

Chen Shuo could roughly guess the struggle happening behind the scenes.

Riley and James had the same idea.

The new season hasn't even started yet, and they've already made arrangements to shift the blame.

ESPN expert Bill Simmons, however, voiced his support for Riley: "All teams should look to the Cavaliers and see their deep bench."

"Chen has proven with facts that you can't win a game with just five players."

"Ray used the incompatible Bosh to gain enough roster depth, while also targeting the Cavaliers' twin towers. I would give this trade an A rating."

"The only imperfection is that they still lack a defensive center."

"Given the Cavaliers' signing of Chris Anderson, we have reason to believe that Anderson is the Heat's target."

Bill Simmons' analysis has stirred up another storm.

Subsequently, renowned NBA reporter Woj confirmed this fact.

"The Miami Heat initially approached Chris Anderson, but the Cavaliers offered him a contract that was hard to refuse."

In an instant, a large number of Cleveland fans flooded Chen Shuo's Twitter with comments like, "I love you to death, I love this kind of operation, please do it more!"

"Execution of a traitor.jpg"

"I have unwavering faith that as long as you're in Cleveland, that coward will never have a chance to touch the championship."

"Gilbert should erect a statue for you, not after you retire, but now."

"A great signing."

Meanwhile, another victim.

Chris Bosh gave an interview to reporters.

"I'm willing to play for Orlando, but nobody asked for my opinion."

"No one notified me."

"Just like you, I learned from the news that I was going to be traded."

"LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Pat Riley have not offered any explanation for this."

Bosh became increasingly agitated: "I feel betrayed."

"Both Wade and I made sacrifices for the team, but I made the biggest sacrifice."

"I need to change the way I play. I'm moving further and further away from the basket, and I'm catching and shooting more often instead of initiating my own offense."

"I know I can do more, but I'm forced to stand in a position I don't like."

"Riley always tells us to make sacrifices, emphasizing that sacrifices are what win championships."

"I've been doing this for the past two seasons, and now they're blaming the failures entirely on me and secretly trading me to another team. That's the part I find hardest to accept."

Bosh's remarks caused a huge uproar.

The media across the United States are once again focusing on the reasons for the Heat's Big Three's failure.

In the first group stage match of the men's basketball tournament at the London Olympics, the United States easily defeated France 98-71.

LeBron James, who was in London, was caught by reporters after the game, who immediately pressed him close and asked, "LeBron, what do you think of the Bosh trade?"

James shook his head, spread his hands, and looked innocent: "You know, Bosh is my brother. We've fought side by side and defeated many opponents."

"But that's the NBA. I wish him all the best in Orlando."

The reporter pressed further, asking, "When did you find out about the deal?"

James said sincerely, "You know, all I care about right now is winning honors for America. I don't have time to care about anything else."

"So, what do you think are the reasons why the Big Three failed to win the championship?"

"You know that—you know that—"

James scratched his head and said, "You know, I have to go. I have a lot of things to do. I'm just focused on the game."

As he spoke, James draped a towel over his head, activated his Heavenly Dragon Eight Steps technique, and headed towards the players' tunnel.

Suburbs of Cleveland.

This was Chen Shuo's first visit to the training base since returning from Los Angeles.

"Lower down a bit, slide over, don't jump."

"You only know how to use your mouth to eat."

"Shout it out loud so your teammates know the pick and roll has happened."

As soon as I came in, I saw Garnett training Draymond Green.

The Cavaliers' training camp was mainly for rookies, while Tucker and Lowry had their own reasons for being selected.

Although Tucker was drafted in 06, he was cut after only one year. He only officially entered the rotation last year and needs a lot of targeted training to speed up his development.

Lowry, on the other hand, is working hard to adapt to the Cavaliers' system and strive to develop his three-point shooting skills as soon as possible.

Veteran players generally don't participate; for example, Paul and Chandler participated in the Olympics, while Battier and Ariza were on vacation with their families.

Only KG seems to enjoy it.

Almost every time Chen Shuo came here, he could see Garnett playing Draymond Green.

No, I'm training to pursue my dreams.

Garnett's energy seemed limitless; he appeared on time every day, rain or shine, without fail.

The basic content of the training camps is the same for all of them: spatial awareness, defensive training, and physical conditioning.

Considering that the Cavaliers' playoffs would continue until June this year, Chen Shuo decisively canceled the Summer League, letting Grant find some random people to play, which could also be considered as giving undrafted players a chance to shine.

All three training grounds were bustling with activity.

With the help of his trainer, Leonard continued to digest the ball-handling skills of Paul and Magic.

The new shooting coach has set his sights on Tucker and Lowry, working to correct their shooting form.

Thompson, Parsons, and Danny Green teamed up for a crazy shuttle run to improve their physical fitness.

Chen Shuo stood silently on the sidelines.

Before long, Grant walked over, accompanied by a lean young black man with a mad dog-like ferocity on his face.

Patrick Beverly

Beverly stared at Chen Shuo, his eyes fierce and silent.

When recruiting players for the Summer League, Chen Shuo casually mentioned Beverley's name, and Grant brought the guy back from Russia.

Chen Shuo didn't waste any more words with him.

Welcome to the team.

"You only need to do two things: bite your opponent and make three-pointers."

"If you do a good job, I'll give you a formal contract."

After saying that, Chen Shuo led Grant off the field.

Players like Beverley have brains that are different from ordinary people; even Chen Shuo couldn't figure them out.

Once the contract is offered, this guy will naturally fight tooth and nail.

When discussing the differences between China and the US, Yao Ming once said, "We are learning, they are surviving."

If Beverley doesn't want to be killed, he has no choice but to fight to the death.

This guy grew up in Chicago's most chaotic West Side, so he must have a lot of ruthlessness in him.

As the Cavaliers' third point guard, his sudden emergence to increase the intensity of the game against the opposing team is incredibly effective.

Chen Shuo snapped out of his reverie and looked at Grant: "It seems there's been some trouble with the China tournament in October?"

Grant nodded in response, "The Heat want to withdraw from the game."

The reason given was that after competing in the playoffs and the Olympics, players need to maintain good physical condition for the new season.

Chen Shuo's eyes darted around.

The China Games were scheduled at the beginning of the year, but the Heat withdrew at the last minute. This was clearly due to their playoff losses and trade turmoil, and they didn't want their players to be in the eye of the storm.

In addition, it's estimated that Riley will be pushing the players to their limits this offseason, and might even introduce some advanced technology.

Given Riley's erratic personality, his Heat teammates are in for a rough time.

Chen Shuo looked at Grant beside him: "So, who are we going to play against?"

Grant had already prepared his answer.

"According to the league, it will be the Lakers."

"The league office is mediating, and teams in big markets tend to ask for higher prices."
