NBA: I am a master dealer

Chapter 394 Warning about unsatisfactory life!

After the game.

At the press conference, Irving and James were separated from each other, with Francois sitting in the middle. The three of them stared blankly and blankly ahead.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed particularly heavy.

There is no doubt that this is a breathtaking moment.

Falling behind 0:3 and already half-dangled over the abyss, how could we not suffocate?

You know, their goal this season is to reach the finals, and there are no excuses.

Last season, it could be said that running-in problems led to a 3:0 lead, but they were defeated in four consecutive games and suffered a tragic comeback.

So what to say about this season?

The Big Three are all here, and the important rotations are in order. They are about to be swept again. What does this mean?

It shows that they are bad, it shows that they are rubbish, and it shows that their trio of giants can already declare failure.

As losers, they are undoubtedly very frustrated.

It’s not just them…

In this game, he really didn't perform well, making 15 of 6 shots and only scoring 14 points.

This time.

But as far as local journalists are concerned, it’s a different story.

This is also a fact that Irving has to admit.

At this time, Irving stood up, "Although it is difficult to accept, the fact is that they are stronger than us, they are more resilient than us, they are more determined than us, and they can score better at critical moments than us. We There are many, many problems, and this is an objective fact.”

——That is incompetence and cowardice.

There are also fans, team management, team owners, and even many media reporters at the scene who can't believe that the powerful Cleveland Cavaliers are on the threshold of being swept again.

As the team's offensive core, such performance can be said to be hard to describe.

Francois responded: "They were very hot today, their firepower was very fierce today, we were destroyed, that's it."

A local reporter in Cleveland couldn't bear it anymore: "Can't you just talk about your problems?"

Personal ability is really strong.

They couldn't accept this result.

After a while, Francois finally answered hesitantly, "We also have a lot to review. After the game, I will lead everyone to watch the game video to find our own problems and then improve them."

Francois' old face turned red instantly. After all, this was his first time as a head coach and he had little experience!

Francois was embarrassed and didn't dare to answer.

Another local Cleveland reporter sneered: "Do you still need to improve?"

What the hell...

They were all 0:3 behind, about to step into the abyss and be eliminated.

He didn't make excuses for his injuries, and simply accepted responsibility.

The first question asked by the reporter was relatively mild: "Can you talk about what happened tonight?"

Be careful...

So, what about the first two games?

Or is the Knicks all in good shape?

Irving: "Yes, I have absolute responsibility for such a disastrous defeat."

Xue Liancheng can not only score by himself, but also lead his teammates to score. Even when everyone else fails, Xue Liancheng can stand up and end the game.

Like Irving, he focuses on attacking tough problems, which brings about a problem. His influence is only in scoring.

But such an answer always gives people a sense of quibbling.

humble...

Do not……

Irving didn't involve anyone else, but took it all on his own: "It's more than enough to stand up to two of me, I mean the effect, and in a one-on-one fight, I'm confident I can beat him."

Just like a criminal who sincerely confesses his crime after being caught, repenting sincerely.

Reporter: "You didn't perform very well in this game. Shouldn't you be responsible for the loss?"

Xue Liancheng averaged 30+12 per game, and the role he played was indeed not comparable to that of ordinary All-Star players.

Francois: "In three days, we will let everyone see the new us and get this series back on the track we set."

Reporter: "You mean, Xue Liancheng alone can stand up to the three of you?"

Is everyone in the Knicks in good shape for this game?

Looking at James next to him, he was chewing his fingers. He was a little depressed, but he was not ashamed of it at all.

There was only anger burning in their hearts, and only ashes remained.

You are just saying that you want to improve now, but it is child's play.

It looks very nonsensical and funny.

Another local reporter in Cleveland couldn't stand it anymore and angrily shouted: "What a stupid idea you have! Get out of class and be trash."

It was quite unexpected.

Because according to the average star, he will find a way to defend himself as soon as possible. This is human nature.

Human nature that seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages.

When a team loses and someone needs to take responsibility, their first reaction is definitely to escape.

And Irving could bear it generously. While everyone was speechless, there was nothing they could do about Irving.

If he didn't fight well, could he still be killed with a gun?

After the reporters were stunned for a moment, they turned their attention to James.

Since they can't find out anything about Owen, of course they need to focus all their attention on the protagonist.

no doubt.

James is the biggest protagonist of the Cavaliers' 0:3.

Naturally, they need to find a hot spot in James.

Reporter: "LeBron, who do you think should be responsible for the team's loss tonight?"

The first question is very sharp and really hits the point.

If it were him, he might be sprayed on the spot.

Because his concept is different from Owen's.

Irving is the second-in-command and has much less firepower. Moreover, Irving is still injured and insists on playing despite the injury. This kind of spirit is already very respectable. Any more accusations will mean little.

And since he is the boss, he first needs to be responsible for the team's failure.

At this time, he said come and spray him, right?

Then the whole world would really catch him squirting.

The most important thing is, where does James have the courage to face the whole world?

If he had, he wouldn't have decided on 1.0.

If he had, there would be no so-called Decision 2.0.

Because he didn't, when he heard the reporter's question, his nerves jumped up and he subconsciously said, "As the head coach said, we need to go to the video hall to see what happened in the game and find the problem. Instead of blaming someone here for not playing well, this is not our team culture."

This dodge is very natural and has no sense of violation.

Anyway, he never mentioned taking responsibility.

Where is this responsibility?

Whoever you love will bear it, but he won’t bear it anyway.

If we lose, it’s us, if we win, it’s me.

This is the usual standard for James journalists to interview.

Reporter: "After this defeat, you are already 0:3 behind. As long as you lose one game, you will be eliminated. What do you want to say about this?"

James: "Although I am very frustrated, I still want to say something here. As long as we strengthen our faith, we will have unlimited hope. If others can make it 3-4, then we can too." When he said this, His eyes were very firm.

It was as if he believed he could lead the team to such a feat.

But many reporters at the scene almost laughed out loud.

Want to emulate last season's Heat's game of allowing three to chase four?

Ah……

Are you fucking kidding me?

In history, the only time a team came back from a 0:3 deficit was the Heat led by Xue Liancheng and Wade last season.

You can imagine how difficult it is to come back after falling behind 0:3.

It can be said bluntly that if you are behind 0:3, it basically means that your team has a clear gap with the opponent in terms of hard power, or that there is natural restraint.

Otherwise, in a best-of-seven series, it would be impossible to fall behind 7:4.

Falling behind 0:3 means that the situation is over and you are just short of being pronounced dead.

And the reason why the Heat won last season?

That's because the 0:3 deficit was caused by Xue Liancheng's absence, which is not the Heat's true strength.

As the team's engine, Xue Liancheng's importance is irreplaceable, and the Heat's strength will undoubtedly be greatly compromised.

And when Xue Liancheng came back, it would actually be difficult to win four games in a row.

After all, this requires not only hard power, but also luck, miracles, and even the state and even mentality of each player on both sides.

It is truly a miracle that the Heat can win four consecutive games against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And now, James actually threatens to imitate Miracle?

Isn't this a joke?

If a miracle can be copied and imitated, it is no longer a miracle.

That's why everyone finds it funny, thinking that James is just whimsical, daydreaming, stubborn, and incompetent.

Or perhaps crazy would be a more appropriate description.

Reporter: "You mean, you want to lead the team to win four consecutive games?"

James: "Why not?"

At this time, a reporter below whispered, "Win a game first to avoid being swept away and then talk big."

Because there were many reporters at the venue, the noise was quite loud.

But these words are extremely clear.

All the reporters burst into laughter.

James' face was originally livid, but this time he couldn't help but blush.

Obviously.

He also realized that he was bragging, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to expose the fact that he was bragging in front of him.

This is a slap in the face to Chi Guoguo.

But there was nothing he could do.

Reporter: "This game has been settled. I want to talk about things off the court. Many people want to see you fail. Does this bother you?"

James frowned and thought for a moment, then replied, "Definitely not."

After a pause, he continued, "Because in the final analysis, all those who hope that I fail, when they wake up the next day, their lives will still not change, they will still be the same as the day before."

After another pause, he said: "Just like today, they still have to face the same personal problems, survival problems, and even food and water problems, right? And I still live my life and continue to do what I want to do. My family and I have a happy life every day, and they can't change that."

After another pause, he continued: "And they may feel particularly happy and excited because of my failure and the failure of the Cleveland Cavaliers within a few days or months, but in the end they have to return to reality. "

Ok……

The answer is complete.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what James wanted to express.

But a reporter soon understood and asked in astonishment, "You mean, those fans who hope you fail, their lives are not what they want?"

James: "Ugh! I stated the facts and they didn't bother me."

All the reporters looked at each other, and even Irving was a little confused.

Where does the star's income come from?

It’s what the fans contribute. Some contribute by buying tickets to watch the game live, some contribute by buying sneakers and jerseys, and some contribute by buying NBA derivative products.

Even...when you watch NBA games on TV, you also contribute to the stars' income.

because……

Only when the fan base is large enough can advertisers be willing to invest in ads and TV stations be willing to buy live broadcast rights, can players receive wages and have endorsements.

Therefore, all the income of a player or a star comes from the fan base.

result.

James actually said that those fans who do not support him are unhappy in life.

I'm crazy...

Are you talking about your parents?

It's simply jaw-dropping.

James was obviously aware of this problem and quickly rectified it, "I mean, the outside world can't affect me. We will definitely play our own rhythm in the next game, and we will never give in."

But the reporter didn't listen at all.

In other words, they no longer care about these things.

The following interview ended abruptly.

On that day, the pages of major media outlets were all over the place.

"James was furious and bluntly stated that the lives of fans who did not support him were unsatisfactory"

"James: Don't support me?" You must be unhappy with your life"

"James: The life of the fan community is not as good as it should be, but I am living a good life"

"0:3 behind, James lost his composure at the press conference"

"The mentality is broken, James made a gaffe in the interview and said that the life of the fans is unsatisfactory"

This suddenly stirred up a hornet's nest.

"Hey, let's watch a game, why don't we comment on you? What's bad about you is that your life is unsatisfactory?"

"I bought a vote to support you, but when I see you beating like a piece of shit, I can't still scold you?"

"Suck the blood of our fans and scold us for our unsatisfactory life?"

"Why do not you go to hell?"

"Shameless, furious, I hope you get swept 4:0."

"After watching the video, I was really made to laugh. Uh... So we fans are so miserable in your eyes?"

"Let's not talk about our life being unhappy. It is our contribution to your happy life."

"Without a fan base and no popularity, who are you?"

"You've eaten and you're complaining that the food tastes bad?"

"You deserve to be swept away. Your pattern is as small as the eye of a needle."

"I'm really disappointed. You just have to play hard, but you want to say something that you don't have. The fans are not living a satisfactory life. How can they support you who are living a satisfactory life? I'm really tired. Goodbye! Never see you again."

"Originally, 0:3 was very annoying, but based on your speech, I can't even eat dinner."

"Seeing you so angry, I don't feel offended. On the contrary, I feel very happy. Uh... turns out my life is not satisfactory?"
