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

Chapter 554 The difference between 95 points and 100 points (third update)

"Smart, can I ask you one last question?"

"You said."

"Why are you always willing to help me?"

"Because... because we're all the same people at heart. We started off at the starting line behind everyone else, but we didn't get discouraged, we kept going, we kept failing, but we never thought about going back, no ?"

"But...but you already won the championship."

"I said, don't be kidnapped by the championship. My goal has never been a championship. In a sense, I am also a loser, a complete loser."

When the two parted, James asked Min Congda one last question.

Min Congda said that he was also a loser, and he sighed long, as if he wanted to squeeze out every air molecule in the blood vessels all over his body.

James knew that Min Congda didn't lie, what he said was true and frank.

When parting, James still had a question in his mind, which was why Min Congda didn't let him come to the Clippers.

But he refrained from asking. He realized that if he asked, the conversation between the two of them today would be in vain.

Min Congda asked him to face basketball like a man and rethink his career and career pursuit.

To be honest, if these words were spoken by anyone else, James would not blink his eyes, and it was impossible to listen.

Are you teaching me how to do things?I, LeBron James, don't know what a man is any more than you do?

I took care of my own family, let my mother live a carefree life, was loyal to my wife, and had assets worth hundreds of millions. Who would dare to teach me a lesson?
But Min Congda is different. In terms of achievements, Min Congda is more successful than him. His championship ring is so shining, James is inferior.

Most importantly, Min Congda is like James' spiritual father, his words are many times more powerful than others.

With all the flatterers around James, Min Congda's sincere voice was particularly deafening, and the ripples that agitated dilute the fog in his heart, making the scene in front of him gradually clearer.

Yes, why are you in such a hurry?

So anxious in 2008, so anxious in 2009, and still so anxious in 2010...

It seems that since entering the finals and losing the championship in 2007, James has entered a state where he can no longer lose and must immediately win the championship.

Losing to the Big Three in 2008 was the last loss James could accept, and the losses in 09 and 10 almost crushed him.

Reaching the finals in 11 actually made James feel relieved. Although he lost to the Mavericks in the end, James felt that the 12 championship would definitely be his own.

However, when he lost to the Clippers in 12, the pain of defeat mixed with the sense of collapse caused by the huge pressure mixed together made him wonder how he spent these few months.

Now, he is finally sober, he still has a long way to go, a long way to go.

The years of failure in the past are not a disgrace, but a foreshadowing for future success, a celebratory wine to drink when enjoying the joy of victory.

If a person can't face up to his failure, he can't really understand how his success comes from.

Even with a short-lived victory by means of opportunism, the glory of his life is far from coming, or even never will come.

After returning to the hotel, James slept the most peaceful sleep in the past few months, and got up early the next morning to participate in the team's training in an excellent state of mind.

In the afternoon, James and the Cavaliers came to the Staples Center to prepare for the game against the Clippers in the evening.

Needless to say, the tickets for this game were sold out early, not to mention the seats, there were not even many places to stand.

In the Cavaliers locker room before the game, James said nothing.

He didn't encourage his teammates, and didn't pretend to read a book to pretend to be aggressive. He just quietly laced his shoes, took deep breaths silently, and prepared for the game.

A qualified leader does not yell at his teammates on and off the court all day long, but when he stands on the court, his teammates will feel at ease.

Everyone knows that with this person, no matter how difficult the game is, they can still fight and have the hope of winning.

Of course, the premise is that this person is there, don't blink, the next season will be gone, how can people trust this.

After the opening ceremony, the game between the two sides officially started at 7 pm.

The lineups of both sides are relatively neat, and the Cavaliers' important outsiders Danny Green and Sean Battier are back from injury after suffering injuries.

On the contrary, there was a small injury problem on the Clippers side.

Zach Randolph missed the game with a knee injury.

As a result, Anthony Davis replaced Randolph in the starting lineup.

This is the first time Anthony Davis has played as a starter.

It can be seen that the No. [-] pick is a little nervous, and some are not used to the rhythm and intensity of the starting game.

Not long after the game started, Anthony Davis received two fouls in defense.

Among them, the second foul came from a defensive foul against James. James rushed to Davis when he broke through.

Tyronn Lue had to replace Davis with Matt Bonner.

This is an extremely unfavorable personnel change for the Clippers.

After Anthony Davis left the field, the Clippers' inside deterrence further declined.

With Randolph in, the offense is a huge threat.

With Davis in, the defense is a great addition.

The Clippers suddenly lost two giants inside. From the first quarter, the Clippers were rarely suppressed by the Cavaliers.

James attacked with the ball a lot, scored 11 points in a single quarter, sent 3 assists, and caused opponents to foul inside twice, full of lethality.

At the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers led the Clippers by 31 points at 25:6.

Min Congda watched James and the Cavaliers play quite well from the sidelines, and he was very relieved inside.

"Not bad, a child can be taught. It seems that James has listened to my words, and he is cheering up to play well tonight."

"This guy is obviously so talented, why doesn't he further develop his skills and improve details? He always thinks about better team configuration, but in fact his own ability has not been fully tapped yet."

Min Congda recently started playing basketball by himself. He had a deep understanding of tactics before, and now he has a deep understanding of technology.

In Min Congda's view, James is far from developing various technologies to the best point.

Although in theory, mastering certain skills is enough for a player to achieve high achievements.

The so-called epee has no front, and there is no work. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar scored more than 38000 points, 6 championships and an evergreen tree in the basketball world.

But in fact, in terms of offense alone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar also has room for improvement. His left-handed offense after receiving the ball is a major weakness. If he had a beautiful right-handed turnaround jumper, he would not have been swept in the Western Conference Finals in 77. 81 In 83 and [-], Moses Malone would not be continuously restrained, and he would not rely so much on top point guards.

James' current technical level is good enough for him to reach 95 points, but when his goal is 100 points, each subsequent point requires a lot of technical support, and each point requires more sweat than the previous point and work hard.

And he doesn't seem to have enough confidence and patience for this, or thinks that 95 points are enough, so what if he rushes to 100.

"But if you want to be the best in history, you need to have 100 points."
