NBA peak

Chapter 188
In the eyes of fans, mutual praise between stars is always the most deliberate thing.

Stars will not praise another star for no reason, especially now that the Raptors and Cavaliers are about to fight, Leonard inexplicably gave James a thumbs up, which must show that Leonard and James have a very secretive personal relationship recently.

James certainly didn't expect that he worked so hard to lead the Cavaliers to break through the first round. He wanted to show off a little, but Leonard gave it to him.

The climax was that Ge Feng joined in the fun with Leonard and gave Lao Zhan a thumbs up.

Lao Zhan's face instantly collapsed.

As we all know, this summer is not only James' contract year, but also Leonard's contract year.

This summer, whether James will continue to stay with the Cavaliers and whether Leonard will continue to stay with the Raptors is what fans care most about except for the playoffs.

Any decision of these two people may affect the pattern of the NBA for many years to come.

The media has been divided on this.

When Leonard was put on the shelf, he once said that the next stop he most yearns for is the coveted big city of Los Angeles.

Lao Zhan has also opened several companies in Los Angeles over the years, and also bought a luxury house in Los Angeles.

Lao Zhan's ambition is already obvious. He has always yearned for Los Angeles with more traffic and a better future.

Even more coincidentally, before the start of the playoffs, the Los Angeles Lakers had already completed a major change.

They cleaned up the historical problems left by Jim Buss, and they have paved the way for the arrival of James or Leonard before the summer comes.

This summer, the Lakers will have nearly 8000 million salary space, and they will definitely be able to sign two superstars, James and Leonard at the same time.

Before the game between the Cavaliers and the Raptors officially started, James and Leonard were surrounded by reporters.

Reporter: "James, do you already have the idea of ​​leaving the Cavaliers and going to Los Angeles, a big city with a more prosperous economy?"

James: "Uh...now it's the playoffs, I don't have this idea, everything I do is for the Cavaliers to advance in the next series."

Reporter: "We have all seen that Leonard actually likes your Twitter. You know, Leonard only opened Twitter not long ago with the help of his uncle. Before that, Leonard has never interacted with any player in the league. Does this mean that you and Leonard have already had close interaction?"

James rolled his eyes: "This is Leonard's personal freedom. I think we should respect it, not suspicion."

Reporter: "Then, James, do you think Leonard will release water when facing the Cavaliers?"

James suddenly became very angry: "What do you imagine the NBA to be like?! The other party is Leonard! He is a first-class superstar in the league! He will never do anything to release water! You'd better stop asking me such stupid questions."

Reporter: "Okay, I see, what do you think of Leonard and Ge Feng of the Raptors simultaneously liking your Twitter?"

I watch NMLGB...

James: "..."

On Leonard's side, when he faced the entanglement of reporters, he was obviously not as anxious as James.

"Leonard, may I ask if you will join forces with James and join Los Angeles at the same time?"

Leonard looked at the reporter without saying a word.

Reporter: "Uh...then why did you like James' tweet?"

Leonard looked at the reporter again, then smiled.

reporter:"……"

……

The reporter found that interviewing Leonard couldn't find anything, so he turned his finger on Ge Feng again.

Ge Feng always had a playful smile on his face and only said one sentence to the reporter: "Anything is possible."

reporter:"……"

Back in the locker room, all the Raptors players laughed.

"Hahaha, this time Lao Zhan is suffering and can't tell."

"You two did a great job! The Cavaliers must now think that James is leaving the Cavaliers again, and they must be panicking."

"That's right, you didn't see that the owner of the Cavaliers has let go of his rhetoric. As long as James is willing to stay in the Cavaliers, the boss will unconditionally agree to everything he wants."

"This move is ruthless, what is this move called?"

"Divorce, no, no, it should be called scheming..."

"Hahaha……"

After several days of bombardment, the Cavaliers locker room is now in a state of panic.

The Cavaliers management and players have noticed that the news that James is going to the Lakers is frantically circulating outside.

If James really leaves, the Cavaliers will immediately become the weakest team in the league.

At that time, many players who have just signed long-term contracts with the Cavaliers will face the situation of being left alone.

No one wants to experience this feeling of being abused in person.

James was very depressed. He didn't expect Leonard and Ge Feng to play tricks on him and shake their morale before the game started.

So despicable!

I'm James!

All conspiracies are nothing but clouds in front of absolute power!

Before the start of the second round of the series, James deliberately went to the locker room to take a shower to calm down.

When James came out, he saw a thick ice pack wrapped around Wade's knees, and an ice pack was tied to Rose's lower back to help relieve the pain.

Wade and Rose have been sitting together chatting while James showers.

Both of them joined the Cavaliers in the second half of the season, and they are not familiar with the Cavaliers' style of play.

At the end of the regular season, Rose averaged only 9.8 points, 1.8 assists and 1.6 rebounds per game, which is obviously not equal to his status as the youngest MVP in the league.

Wade is not much better, averaging only 13 points per game, and the legend of Janeway's connection has not come back.

Their slump is also the root cause of the Cavaliers' seven hard-fought games against the Pacers in the first round.

"Guys, what are you two talking about?" James sat down next to them.

"I feel like I'm really old, and I'm discussing with Rose about retiring next year." Wade said with emotion.

Rose also said: "Like Wade, I have had this idea countless times, but I still want to chase it for a few more years, and I am not reconciled."

James frowned slightly when he heard this.

It's about to be a life-and-death battle with the Raptors. Wade and Rose actually have the idea of ​​​​retiring. This is not a good start.

James said: "Do you want to retire because of me? Guys, you are both legends in the league, and you can't trust the mouth of the media like ordinary people."

Wade smiled wryly and shook his head: "No way, brother, you know, Ross and I signed veteran contracts this year. After this season, it's hard to say whether the Cavaliers will continue to take us in or not. Where you will go in the future doesn't have much impact on us."

Hearing this, James felt much better.

He didn't want to implicate his two good brothers in retiring because of his own affairs.

"That's good, don't think about anything now, our goal is the championship. Rose, don't you want to win the O'Brien trophy in your dreams? Come on, this year is your best chance."

Rose smiled, his eyes hardened.

"Okay, let's play, my brothers, we will win this year!"
