I'm not really a role player

Chapter 273 Son of Heaven's Chosen?
In Mei Yangyang's preseason predictions, the Cavaliers, the Celtics, and the Magic are tied for the top three in the East.

Such predictions are not surprising.

It's just that the predictions of most media reporters and expert commentators put the Bobcats among the Eastern powerhouses.

Only Mei Yang Yang excluded the Bobcats.

Therefore, when the Bobcats started beating the Cavaliers violently, it was the most embarrassing time for Mei Yangyang.

In the first quarter of the game, the Cavaliers' offense was constipated from beginning to end.

Lebron was stuck in the mud, but he was unwilling to be alone, always trying to keep the ball in his hands.

Xiao Mo's condition is not bad, the Cavaliers also gave him a large number of opportunities, and he managed to hold the situation, so the Cavaliers will not collapse in the first quarter.

Finally, there is Richard Hamilton, who is very promising and valued. Well, it must be admitted that his performance is as sleepwalking as Curry, as if he has not integrated into the Cavaliers at all.

On both offense and defense, Hamilton was overwhelmed by the second Hua.

In the first quarter of the game, the Bobcats, who were attacking and defending at the same time, took an 27-point lead with a score of 19 to 8.

Under such circumstances, when Mei Yangyang faced Kenny Smith and Barkley's inquiries, he could only laugh awkwardly, and said: "LeBron's performance is too bad. I don't know what he is doing in the summer. With all due respect, I haven't been able to see a little bit of improvement from him."

Mei Yangyang doesn't show mercy at all. If Lebron is replaced by Kobe, maybe he will forcefully wash it off.

But Le Bon?Mei Yangyang did not regard the Chosen Son as the Chosen Son...

"Obviously, LeBron can't deal with Sheldon's defense at all with a frontal attack. He needs to find another way, but... I don't see LeBron having any offensive means other than a frontal attack."

The meaning that Mei Yangyang wants to express is very clear, that is, there is a reason why the Cavaliers were brutally abused by the Bobcats. The reason is that Lebron's performance is poor.

Mei Yang Yang boldly questioned: "Look at his opponent Sheldon, his singles ability has improved significantly, and look at LeBron, where is his improvement? Obviously, this summer, he didn't do anything!"

Le Bang couldn't hear Mei Yangyang's doubts from the commentary, but the deadlock that was difficult to break through in this game had already made Le Bang realize that he had to make a change.

"Listen, we have what it takes to turn this game around, second quarter, give me the ball!"

Mike Brown was full of question marks, isn't the ball always in your hands?
Leaving aside the question mark of Mike Brown, since LeBron asked for the ball again, it was doomed that the Cavaliers' offense in the second quarter could only be started from LeBron's side.

After all, McBrown couldn't refuse LeBron's various requests.

The game in the second quarter began quickly, and the Bobcats and Cavaliers all replaced a group of substitutes.

On the Bobcats side, Curry, Hua Er, Kenyon Martin and Jordan Jr. went down, and Earl Watson, Wesley Matthews, Tajibson and Kwame Brown came up.

For the Cavaliers, Daniel Gibson replaced Mo, who performed well in the first quarter. Anthony Parker replaced Hamilton.

After some substitutions, the Cavaliers got worse, but Lebron got his wish. The lineup he leads now has no other options.

"The game has restarted. Let's see what adjustments the Cavaliers made in the second quarter. They still have a chance. After all, being behind by 8 points in the first quarter is not a huge score gap."

As soon as the second quarter came up, it was the Cavaliers' round. Lebron received the ball in the backcourt and galloped like a tank.

If it was someone else, maybe they were already terrified.

After all, Lebron is a behemoth on the front line, but in Li Ke's view, it's nothing more than that.

At the first moment, he stepped forward and chose hard steel.

But Le Bang chose to turn around the moment he hit Li Ke.

"Wow, at the beginning of the second quarter, LeBron started to make changes. This is a high post-up single?"

The situation of the game made Mei Yangyang feel extremely embarrassed, but he turned embarrassment into anger, and Le Bang was the object of his anger.

"Pushing with the back, oh my god, there is no progress at all, another turn, is this going to turn back and force it? This is too lame."

That's right, at the beginning of the second quarter, LeBron showed everyone his crappy post-up.

Without any suspense, Li Ke completely blocked Le Bang with his tough one-man defense.

Although the method has been changed, the ending has not changed in any way compared with the first quarter.

In the middle distance, Lebon chose to shoot.

Clang!
The basketball bounced heavily out of the frame as if it was about to smash the neck of the basket.

"LeBron's post-up is very bad, maybe it's because he knows how bad his back-up is, the whole first quarter, we didn't see his post-up, so why didn't he practice his post-up well this summer?"

Mei Yangyang continued to complain, but Kenny Smith couldn't see it anymore. He pulled out a message from last year to defend Lebron: "As far as I know, LeBron has participated in the Big Dream training camp."

"So what? That only proves that his efforts are not enough."

Having said that, Mei Yangyang's purpose is already obvious.

What he wants to do is also what he wants to do, which is to demote the Cavaliers to prove that his judgment on the Bobcats is temporarily correct.

The first step in demoting the knight is to make endless complaints and belittle Lebron.

Lebron also gave Mei Yang Yang a lot of face. After the back-up failed at the beginning of the second quarter, he tried to go to the low post again.

Li Ke followed in and blocked Le Bang's position from behind.

At the beginning of the low post, Lebron wanted to show off his skills to prove that he has a post.

Shaking left and right, all kinds of fake moves.

But the problem is, Li Ke doesn't eat Akira at all.

Lebron's back hitting was bad, not only because he didn't practice enough, but also because of his huge body, which was not suitable for the technical style of play at all.

All in all, Lebron's top back-up will only have one form, which is to crush the opponent with his body.

As Kenny Smith joked, the most suitable back-up technique for LeBron is Barkley's back-up technique.

If Li Ke doesn't eat Huang, Le Bang can only take the road of forcing himself.

Turning around and making a tough layup, the referee blew his whistle with a beep.

Just when Lebron cheered and wanted to raise his hand to show his arrogance, the referee pointed at him.

"Is this... an offensive foul?"

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith couldn't be sure, because usually when Lebon waved like this, it was when the referee gave him preferential treatment in the penalty.

Mei Yangyang affirmed immediately: "That's right, it was an offensive foul. Sheldon didn't make any lateral moves, but LeBron almost beat him up. There is no doubt about the offensive foul!"

On the court, LeBon was also raising his hand, and he was puzzled.

The referee Joe Crawford gave a very cold look, which was a response.

The ball went back to the Bobcats, and without Mo, the Cavaliers' performance was even worse.

In the second quarter, they only scored 14 points, but the Bobcats scored as many as 28 points by relying on their overall blooming.

At halftime, the score was 55-33.

Seeing this score, Kenny Smith raised a question: "Why is the Cavaliers' offense so bad every time they face the Bobcats?"

Mei Yangyang continued: "It's very simple, Sheldon is LeBron's nemesis, he can beat LeBron!"

In addition to endless complaints and belittling, it seems to have found another reason for Lebang.

It's okay for Le Bang to beat other people, but when he beats Li Ke, there are so many problems that it explodes.

Such a score at halftime can basically declare the death penalty for the Cavaliers.

But in the second half, the Cavaliers' struggle came as promised.

Lebron is doing badly, but they still have Mo.

Facing the sleepwalking Curry, Xiao Mo performed very well, scoring 11 points in a row in the third quarter and taking over the game.

Relying on Xiao Mo's explosion, the Cavaliers once closed the gap to less than 15 points.

Although Sam Vincent's reaction was slow, he was still able to realize that the knight locked up by Lebron could only rely on Little Mo to survive.

It is still very simple to target.

A substitution, Curry was abandoned, Earl Watson came on the stage, supplemented by the defense of Kenyon Martin and Hua's second child, and Xiao Mo misfired.

Xiao Mo misfired, and the Cavaliers lost the capital to continue struggling.

At the end of the three quarters, 80 to 55, the Bobcats are already leading by a big score.

In the fourth quarter, after holding on for two or three minutes, seeing that the score gap was safe enough, Sam Vincent immediately started the rotation.

"Stephen, now is your time."

Garbage time, Curry appeared.

Curry got the opportunity to dare to fight hard during the garbage time that Li Ke envied, but he was not very happy.

Even so, against Daniel Gibson's defense, Curry still played a good performance in garbage time.

With the support of absolute possession of the ball, Curry made 6 of 4 shots in the final quarter, scored 10 points, and had 3 assists.

His originally crappy overall game data has also improved to 16 of 7, 18 points and 5 assists, which seems to be qualified.

On the other side, Lebron was not so lucky. Although he also wanted to dare to fight hard in garbage time, Sam Vincent didn't give him this opportunity and directly rotated a lot, forcing the Cavaliers to follow up.

After the follow-up, Lebon, who did not play in the second half of the fourth quarter, could only end the much-anticipated Halloween battle with a record of 19 of 6 shots, 15 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 1 block.

"Look at LeBron's poor performance. Although everyone calls him the emperor, although he claims to be the chosen one, in my opinion, LeBron is no longer worthy of these titles."

"He has been standing still, he has not improved, look at Carmelo Anthony and Dwyane Wade in the same class as him, and look at him..."

Mei Yangyang couldn't stop anymore. After some criticism, Tu Qiong saw: "Obviously, I misjudged the strength of the Cavaliers in the new season. Like the Bobcats, they no longer have the strength of a top team."

Mei Yangyang didn't know that his performance in this game had already caused an uproar in North America.

On Twitter and Facebook, almost everyone is discussing: Is LeBron James, as Mei Yang Yang said, not making any progress for several years, and is no longer worthy of the title of the Chosen Son?
supporter--

"LeBron has no championship, no MVP, and only one finals experience. Even in the internal competition of the 03 class, he is no match for Dwyane Wade. The Chosen One? Don't be ridiculous!"

"This is LeBron's seventh season. The Eastern Conference is so weak. He has only made it to the Finals once and was beaten by the Spurs. Maybe he is the little emperor of Cleveland and the chosen one of Cleveland. But if you look at the whole United States, he is not worthy..."

"In my opinion, LeBron's opponent Sheldon in this game is more worthy of the title of the Chosen One. NCAA champion plus MOP, NBA rookie season championship plus FMVP, the most improved player in the second grade, and the third grade. He is still improving. When leading the team alone, the goal is already aiming at the MVP trophy..."

"..."

Where there is support, there is opposition——

"LeBron's success is just yet to come. Think about Michael Jordan. When he won his first championship, he was already 28 years old. LeBron was only 25 years old. He is still very young..."

"LeBron is unique and I cannot accept Stephen A. Smith's slander against him!"

"Always believe in LeBron! He has the ability to lead the Cavaliers forward!"

"..."

Controversy derived from this, and——

"LeBron James doesn't deserve to be compared to Michael!"

"Leading the Cavaliers forward? Doesn't the redneck from Cleveland know that LeBron is leaving Cleveland next summer?"

"Cleveland is too remote and too poor, they can't have a championship!"

"..."

Public opinion that has gone astray like this hits like a storm.

After the game, Li Ke, who scored the best player in the game, was asked: "Selton, how do you evaluate the title of LeBron's Chosen Son?"

In this regard, Li Ke spit out a word with high EQ: "Pass!"

But on the other hand, facing the bombardment of public opinion, Lebron could only keep a dark face and deal with the aggressive media in a way he didn't like——

"I never thought I was the chosen one. Everything I have comes from my hard work. Yes, my performance in this game was terrible, but I have worked hard to improve everything."

"Cleveland isn't some backcountry, it's my hometown!"

"I'm not leaving Cleveland, ever!"

"..."

If the reporter standing in front of Le Bang was Li Ke, he would definitely ask again: Since you won't leave, why don't you renew your contract?
Come to think of it, Le Bang will be speechless, right?
Regardless of Le Bang's situation, Li Ke, who won the Halloween battle, still focused on himself.

First of all, this victory gave the Bobcats a sigh of relief. The title of a pseudo-strong team cannot be held by the Bobcats for the time being.

But it is impossible for the time being to fight back against Mei Yangyang.

It has to be said that Mei Yangyang's ability to hype public opinion is really strong. After such an operation, the Cavaliers and Lebron were relegated to the dust, and the Bobcats also needed to continue to prove themselves.

Secondly, judging from the garbage time, Li Ke seems to have caught a trace of Curry's sleepwalking performance and the root cause of his poor performance.

"Ball rights?"

"Shouldn't be..."

It stands to reason that Curry's style of play is a bit off-ball. Li Ke thinks it is unreasonable to say that he will perform poorly because he does not have the ball.

But thinking about Curry's performance in the garbage time of the fourth quarter, it really tastes like a peak library.

"Why don't you try giving Curry the ball and I'll play without the ball?"

Li Ke seems to have made up his mind, but the problem is that the change of tactics requires the approval of Sam Vincent.
