I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 553 Be a real hero (second update)

James was dumbfounded.

What?make me ready to go?
It was me who told you not to go back then, and it is you who let me go now.

If I knew I wanted to go, why didn't you let me come to the Clippers?Or why not let me go to the Heat?
Just as James spread his hands and wanted to raise his own doubts, Min Congda interrupted him again and said, "I know you have a lot of question marks. Why did you stay in the Cavaliers for 10 years, but now you are ready to leave."

James didn't speak, and listened to Min Congda continue talking.

Min Congda poured a cup of tea for James, asked him to sit down and calm down, and the two had a good chat.

James' situation is not much different from the past, and there is still no one around him who can tell the "truth".

It's not that James has been lying, but that he has many secret thoughts and thoughts in his heart that he can't find anyone to tell.

In history, all emperors were lonely. The so-called lonely family, some things and words can only be rotten in their stomachs, and they can never be said.

Some things, if not spoken out, everyone understands and can be fooled. Once spoken out, everything will collapse.

Just like those who claim to be emperors, they will always say that they are for the country and the common people, and they are ordered by heaven. I don’t want to be emperor either.

Once he said, I became an emperor because I want power, fame, the world, and everything, then it will collapse, and everyone will stand up and oppose it.

James may not fully understand this truth, but he knows in his heart that he must do this.

So he could naturally understand what Min Congda said next.

"The situation in 10 years is completely different from what it is now. In 10 years, you were only 26 years old, when a player was just entering the peak, you had only suffered a few seasons of real setbacks, and you couldn't bear to leave. Miami teamed up with Wade and Bosh. In theory, that's right, you didn't break the law, you didn't break the morals. But, you broke the expectations of others. You know, surpassing the expectations of Michael Jordan, from You come into the league and it weighs heavily on your shoulders and takes your breath away."

Min Congda's remarks hit James' heart. Since entering the league, he has been compared with Michael Jordan.

Nike is also promoting him, all kinds of youngest records, building momentum and paving the way for him to surpass Jordan one day.

He won the best rookie in the 2003-2004 season, but in terms of performance, has he really completely surpassed Carmelo Anthony?
Jordan's best rookie is indisputable, because he averaged 28 points per game in his rookie season, and many stars can't average points per game at this level after playing for a lifetime.

Today, James has entered the tenth season of his career.

Jordan won the championship in the seventh season. In the tenth season, Jordan has retired and chose to play baseball.

And James is still fighting for his first championship trophy, and there is little hope in sight.

"It's different now. You've entered your tenth season. You're 29 years old and you're going to be 30 soon. If you don't win the championship this year, you won't get it next year. When you're 30, you'll leave , No one will say anything more. Instead, the people of Cleveland will bless you, bless you to get a trophy that belongs to you.”

Hearing this, James suddenly became excited. He stood up and almost knocked over his tea cup, saying: "30 years old! I still can't win the championship at the age of 30? Then I would rather bear the infamy at the age of 26 and go to Miami to win the championship. Let’s talk when I get it! When I win the championship, I’ll get some more. What kind of infamy is nothing at all! This is the era when champions are kings!"

Min Congda asked back: "Have you not realized that you have been kidnapped by the champion? Although the champion is very important, is the champion the only guide for your actions? You are far from being led by the nose by the champion. In fact, you The pressure of the championship is too deep. No star is required to win the championship when he is 24 or 25 years old. If he does not win the championship, he will fail. This is not normal. In fact, it is never too late to win the championship. A result, a natural result, not an end that must be reached at the very beginning. In this world, except death, there is no end that must be reached!"

James said angrily: "The Clippers have already won the championship, of course you would say that! The Los Angeles Clippers have now become an invincible monster! You trained this monster yourself, and then told me that there is no need to rush for a championship. It’s done! You won the championship in three years, and you said you would win more than one, not two, not just three or four, but seven or eight championships! Then my championship is in Where? Why did you prevent me from going to the Heat in 10 years, why didn't you let me come to the Clippers?"

James vented all his grievances and anger towards Min Congda.

He believes that his failure all stemmed from the wrong decision in 10 years. As long as he goes to the Heat, the situation today will be very different.

Min Congda was also angry, although his purpose of admonishing James at the beginning was to disgust Riley, and second, he was not optimistic about the Big Three of the Heat, fearing that the Heat would not be able to pose a threat to the Clippers.

However, after a long time of getting along and communicating with each other, Min Congda has regarded James as a very good friend, and the suggestions he gives are all from the heart, quite frank and sincere.

He stood up and came to James. He stood a head shorter than James, but raised his head and tugged at James' collar, and said, "I'll tell you why I did this, because I want you to be on the basketball court." Live like a man! Fight like a man! You can be defeated, but you can't be destroyed, you understand!"

"Once you can't win the championship, you cry in your heart, oh I can't do it, the Clippers are a monster, I can't beat it, if I knew it, I would go to the South Coast to hold a group with my brothers, and I would have won the championship ~Have you ever thought about it, if you form a team with them, you can’t win the championship? Don’t forget, the Heat have lost to the Cavaliers for two consecutive years! The team building strategy I gave you is correct.”

"You only lost to the Clippers once, and you can't stand it anymore? Lost your fighting spirit? Why don't you think about it, you are not strong enough to beat the Clippers. The Clippers are just a group of young people in their early 20s. An elementary school student who can dunk and giggle all day long, a bearded nerd who twists his ass all day long, a Spaniard who chews his tongue all day long, a fat man who likes to go to bars. Why are you afraid of them? You are only 3 minutes away from the championship , 3 minutes! At that time, if you could hold the ball and make a layup, or hit two mid-range shots, the series would be over! Why don’t you think about it, why couldn’t you make that mid-range shot at that time? Hit that layup!"

"Men, always look for reasons only from yourself. If you fail, you are a failure. There are always losers in this world. But you can't blame others. Blaming is just an escape, and it can't solve the real problem."

After speaking, Min Congda loosened James' collar and sat back in his seat.

James looked dull, and sat back in the chair. No one had ever taught him this before.

His growth environment gave him the wisdom to survive, but his family environment made him lack the courage to live.

Not the courage to live, but the courage to live.

Both of them were silent for a long time before James asked, "Then what should I do?"

Min Congda said: "This season will indeed be very difficult. There is still room for improvement in your skills, improve your three-pointers, and your off-ball ability. There is no room for action in the lineup for the time being, and the best time has been missed. So, let's start with the coaching, Mike Brown is at the end of his coaching skills. I will find you a good coach, your job is to play well."

"If you still can't do it in the past two years, you may be able to make some changes in the summer of 14. At that time, the whole league, including Nike, will support you. I will support you too."

"At that time, you can still be a hero, a real hero."
