Buddha's light illuminates NBA

第63章 作为24vs23主故事线的支线剧情8vs23
As a focus game that suddenly became the focus because James said "I look forward to the game next Saturday", the Knicks played against the Cavaliers at home on the morning of the game, and specially arranged a pre-game press conference.

It can be seen how much influence James, who vowed to win the championship in the seventh year of his career, has.

It can be seen that if this season fails to win the championship, James, who will enter the free market during the offseason tomorrow, will affect how many people's nerves.

Although the Knicks at this time have a better record.

尽管此时的尼克斯的新星，号称最强新秀的8号陆鸣，在数据上以25.6分7.8篮板11.2助攻2.8抢断和2.2盖帽，并不输给27.4分7.8篮板7.6助攻1.8抢断和1.2盖帽的詹姆斯。

Although Lu Ming temporarily ranked first in the assist list at this time, people saw his talent on the organizational side;

Although 2.8 steals and 2.2 blocks are at the forefront of the individual list, let them see his talent on the defensive end;
Although after O'Neal, the second player got the best ball of the week in the first week of his rookie season...

But people with discerning eyes still know that the emperor's influence is still far stronger than the master.

And compared to the 23vs24 main story line that the alliance is actively promoting at this stage, 8vs23 can only be regarded as a small plot and a small climax.

But the small plot is a plot after all, not a complete irrigation plot, and a small climax is a climax after all, not a false climax, so before the pre-match media conference started, the heat and tension had been completely fired up.

It gives people a feeling, as if it is the playoffs, as if it is the finals.

Oh, poor New Yorkers, how long has it been since you saw a pre-match press conference with your own star in your home stadium?
"LeBron, are you in the best physical condition now? Will back-to-back games affect your state in this game?" The first question was a beautiful reporter.

"You know, I've been resting for the whole summer, and I don't have any problems physically."

"So you think, tonight, at home to the Knicks, you will take away a victory, right?"

"We'll avoid losing streaks!"

"Then let us look forward to your performance!"

"Thank you."

"LeBron, since the start of the season, the team has achieved a record of 3 wins and 3 losses. Does it mean that the Cavaliers' signings in the summer were a failure?"

"We lost some teammates, some new teammates, so the team needs a little time to run in. Compared with the 4 wins and 2 losses at the beginning of last season, we just lost one more game. Also, our chemistry is getting better, and the team is on the right path."

"So, you're trying to say that the reason why the Knicks are 5-1 is because their roster hasn't changed much?"

"No, I didn't say that."

"LeBron, ESPN predicts that the Knicks will only have a record of 35 wins this season. From the current point of view, do you agree with ESPN's prediction?"

"Sorry, I only follow the Cavaliers."

"LeBron, we all know that during the offseason, the Cavaliers made personnel adjustments, and a large part of them were for the Magic, Celtics, and Lakers. Does it mean that the goal of the Cavaliers this season is the championship?"

"There are 30 teams in the NBA, and the goal of each team should be the championship."

"But in fact, some teams are rushing to the lottery draft next year."

"Yes. Because there is only one champion every year, we have to allow some teams to think about future champions."

James, who is not in the league, is the focus. Facing the media's questions one after another, so far, he has been calm and calm.

Until someone asked the question that the entire league was concerned about.

"LeBron, if, I mean if, the Cavaliers still don't win a championship this season, will you leave Cleveland?"

"I'll bring a championship to Cleveland!"

"But this season is the last year of your contract year in the Cavaliers. After the season ends, you will become a completely free player. And so far, you have not chosen to renew your contract! So, if the Cavaliers still cannot complete the championship this season, then you will have the right to choose to stay!"

"I only care about this one game."

"LeBron, the outside world is commenting that the Knicks' No. 8 rookie Lu's draft template should not be Manu Ginobili, but Magic Johnson, and he is expected to become Magic's successor. What do you think about this?"

"I don't see that being said."

"Well, yes, that claim has not been made public."

"..."

"However, Lu's current averages are 25.6 points, 7.8 rebounds and 11.2 assists per game, which is even more comprehensive than what you performed in your rookie season, especially in terms of organizational offense. With such data, I think it is entirely possible to become the successor of the Magician."

"Really?" James showed a surprised expression.

"it is true!"

"I don't... have you asked Mr. Johnson for his opinion?"

"I'm considering."

"Okay, let's talk about this topic after you think about it."

"What if the magician approves of Lu's performance?"

"If Mr Johnson has no opinion, I will respect his opinion."

"So, if Mr. Johnson recognizes Lu as the successor of the magician, LeBron, are you interested in coming to New York to play and form a double magician lineup with Lu?"

The reporter was very excited when he asked, and the others were even more excited when they heard it.

Especially the media on the New York side.

Of course, the media of other lineups were not so happy, they rolled their eyes and anxiously leaned on James' answer.

James looked at the reporter seriously, and then said, "Sorry, the press conference is over. I need to warm up and prepare for the game tonight."

"Oh! No!"

The media seats made regretful voices, but they could only let James leave.

Then, some reporters have already started to concoct news, and even the headlines have been thought out.

"LeBron is in good shape, and the Knicks are ushering in a losing streak!"

"The Cavaliers started with a poor record of 3 wins and 3 losses. The little emperor is suspected of being dissatisfied with the team's summer signings!"

"Without a championship, Cleveland loses their king!"

"LeBron acquiesces, looking forward to forming a double magician lineup with the new magician successor!"

"..."

It's really a title at the beginning, and the content depends entirely on editing.

Immediately after the Cavaliers' media conference, it was the Knicks' turn.

On Lu Ming's side, with James' answers in hand, the reporters' questions became more aggressive.

Creating conflicts on and off the court and creating stories is what reporters are good at.

"Lu, LeBron thinks the Knicks can't stop him from taking a victory, and claims to give the Knicks a losing streak. What do you think?"

"Heroes see the same thing."

"So you have the confidence to lead the team to victory over James' Cavaliers?"

"Yes, I am confident."

"But from the team lineup, it is difficult for the Knicks to limit James and Olney, and everyone thinks that James' defense will put a lot of pressure on you. So, where does your confidence come from?"

"Wait and see."

"..."

"Lu, in this game, will you break the highest scoring record here, Kobe Bryant's 61 points, at the Knicks' home stadium at Madison Square Garden?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came from inside the reporter.

Lu Ming almost laughed, nodded at him, and said, "25% chance, isn't it?"

"Yes, 25% chance, yes!" The reporter nodded with a silly smile.

So everyone laughed.

It seemed that, because it was at home, Lu Ming's pre-match press conference was much easier than what James faced?

it's not true!
