LeBron James running away? He's going all in on Curry.

The NBA regular season is in full swing in November.

As predicted by the American media before the game, the Cavaliers, having emptied their immediate fighting force, unsurprisingly suffered a devastating losing streak.

What comforts Cleveland fans is that, despite having the worst record in the Eastern Conference, Stephen Curry, the cornerstone handpicked by the owner, has seen his stats skyrocket under the "unlimited shooting opportunities"! He's averaging 4.5 three-pointers per game with a nearly 40% success rate, consistently scoring over 26 points per game, and occasionally pulling off incredible logo shots.

Cleveland fans have gradually become accustomed to this strange rhythm where the team loses but Curry wins in the stats. The phrase "believe in the process" has actually evoked a sense of tragic epicness when shouted in Quicken Loans Arena.

However, compared to the Cavaliers' clear-cut tanking strategy, the championship favorite in Miami was having an exceptionally tough time.

Throughout November, the Heat's record was mediocre.

Wade and Bosh's stats have visibly declined, especially Bosh, who has completely lost his way in the paint and has even been ridiculed by the media as a soft player.

This seemingly invincible and luxurious team actually struggled in the regular season.

Public opinion in the American basketball community has begun to subtly shift. Countless people couldn't help but dig up Su Yang's leech-like interview during the opening game.

The date is March 27st.

American Airlines Center in Dallas.

The Miami Heat were brutally defeated on the road by Dirk Nowitzki's Dallas Mavericks, bringing their record to an embarrassing 9 wins and 8 losses.

The atmosphere in the post-match press conference room was extremely tense.

LeBron James sat in front of the table with a cold expression, clearly frustrated after the loss.

Just then, a reporter from the Dallas Star suddenly stood up, held up the microphone, and asked a question that instantly silenced the entire room:

"LeBron, the Heat currently have a record of only 9 wins and 8 losses, and Dwyane and Chriss' stats have both declined significantly. What do you think of the opinion expressed by Cavaliers owner Su Yang a month ago? Is your current playing style really, as he said, draining your teammates and harming them?"

These words were like a knife, stabbing into James' fragile and sensitive pride.

"Bang!"

James slammed his hand on the table, stood up abruptly, and pointed at the reporter with eyes blazing with anger: "What nonsense are you spouting?! I don't need to respond to the ravings of that layman who doesn't understand basketball at all!"

"But LeBron, the data doesn't lie..." the reporter stubbornly tried to press further.

"Shut up! Next question! No, there is no next question!"

James roughly shoved the microphone in front of him, and amidst the astonished gazes of the reporters, he stormed off with a livid face, without even completing the official procedures of the press conference.

Ten minutes later, the Heat's public relations team issued an emergency statement, announcing an indefinite ban on the Dallas reporter, attempting to suppress public opinion with force.

But this only made things worse.

That night, a heated argument broke out in the Heat's locker room, which eventually turned into the famous closed-door meeting of the Heat's Big Three.

Behind the closed locker room doors, Wade made a concession by sacrificing possession of the ball, barely managing to stabilize the team that was on the verge of falling apart.

……

Su Yang simply watched the Miami farce as entertainment.

All his energy is now focused on the upcoming December 1st.

This day is destined to be recorded in history for Cleveland.

Because the king who betrayed the city will be returning to Quicken Loans Arena for the first time as a Heat player.

Tickets for this match were already being resold for exorbitant prices a week in advance.

Angry Cleveland fans have prepared thousands of T-shirts printed with "traitor" and "coward," ready to greet James with the wildest boos.

James himself had already tweeted, "I'm going to score 60 points there and shut some people up."

Faced with the surging Heat, Su Yang completed two inconspicuous last-minute trades in the last three days of November.

In his first trade, he acquired a formidable backup center from Georgia—Zaza Pachulia—from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for a future second-round pick plus some cash.

The second move involved using a trade exception from a previous deal to acquire Shane Battier, a top-tier perimeter defensive anchor whose contract was expiring and a master at drawing offensive fouls, from the Houston Rockets.

The official statement from Cavaliers general manager Grant is: "To address the team's increasingly limited roster depth."

No one cared about these two minor trades; all eyes were on how James was going to dominate the Cavaliers.

February 1st, 12 PM.

With just hours to go before the game, the Cavaliers suddenly released an injury report:

"Team leader Stephen Curry will rest for this game due to ankle soreness as a precaution."

The news caused an uproar!

"He chickened out! Su Yang chickened out!"

"Knowing LeBron was coming to score 60 points, the Cavaliers owner was so scared that he hid his star player overnight!"

"Coward! Are you just going to surrender like this?"

Miami media outlets mocked the situation as if it were a holiday.

When James heard the news during his pre-game warm-up, he laughed dismissively.

In his view, without Curry as their sole scoring option, the Cavaliers tonight were like fish on a chopping board, completely at his mercy.

However, at 7:30 p.m., at the Quicken Loans Arena.

When Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott, with a stern face, handed over the Cavaliers' starting lineup to the scorer's table, the referee on duty and Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra on the opposite bench were both dumbfounded.

The Cavaliers' lineup for tonight was prominently displayed on the big screen at the stadium.

Point Guard: Patrick Beverley

Shooting Guard: Danny Green

Small Forward: Shane Battier

Power Forward: Zaza Pachulia

Center: DeAndre Jordan

Looking at this starting lineup, which could be described as being of "fighting tournament" quality, the commentator was stunned for a full half minute before stammering:

"My God... what kind of lineup did the Cavaliers field? Aside from Battier, who has some offensive ability, can the rest of them combined even average more than 15 points per game?!"

Meanwhile, Su Yang, sitting in a luxurious private room, was holding a glass of red wine, looking down at James on the court, whose expression had changed slightly.

"You want to get 60 points, right?"

"Then I'll show you what Cleveland's hospitality is all about."
