Super All-around Point Guard
Chapter 489 Great changes in the Cavaliers!
Shumpert was abandoned by Jackson long ago and left the New York Knicks with J.R. Smith, and he has been with the Cavaliers for more than a year. What can he know about the Knicks?
Coincidentally, what James and several core members were discussing in secret was also about the Knicks and Xie Chen. Shumpert came in at this time. Could it be that James' thoughts have been leaked to these role players?
James didn't know whether Shumpert knew what he was thinking, but Shumpert must have known something if he dared to barge in so boldly. So, James put his arm around Shumpert's shoulders and led him out. He thought Knowing what Shumpert is here for, then consider whether to let him stay in this room.
James took Shumpert out of the room, closed the door, and the two stood at the door talking.
James asked Shumpert: "You just said something about the New York Knicks. What makes you so nervous?"
Shumpert indeed showed a very serious look: "LeBron, do you know? We will face the New York Knicks of Xie and Anthony in the first round of the playoffs! Haven't you noticed that the Knicks' recent record has been stagnant? ? They did it on purpose! They just want to meet us in the first round and then beat us!"
Hearing Shumpert speak in such a panic, James acted very calmly. Shumpert was surprised why James didn't react at all after hearing such shocking news.
James put his hand on Shumpert's shoulder: "Who told you about this? Kevin Love? Or Irving? Or what did you hear when we talked last night?"
"What? You said you also knew?" Shumpert was even more shocked now.
James frowned. How did Shumpert find out about this problem if he wasn't eavesdropping on their conversation? Moreover, he said it with such conclusive evidence that he seemed to have a lot of evidence.
Shumpert said quickly: "No, my mother just called me to tell me."
"Your mother?" James was puzzled. "How could your mother know about the Knicks' affairs?"
Shumpert then began to explain: "Today my mother happened to bump into Phil Jackson, the president of the Knicks, on her way to the mall. Of course my mother knew who he was. She had always wanted me to play in New York, even if I came to Here she is still in New York and has not followed. When Phil Jackson sent me and JR here, she was quite dissatisfied and tried to talk to Phil several times. Now she bumped into her face to face and of course she refused to let him go."
"So my mother grabbed his suit and scolded him, asked him why he sent me away in the first place, and called him a fool who couldn't use people. Phil had been eager to leave and didn't dare to say anything to my mother, but after When he was explaining, he accidentally let it slip and said, 'When we go to Cleveland and play the first round of the playoffs against the Cavaliers next month, I will personally apologize to Shumpert.'"
"What? Phil really said that? Are these his exact words?" James was extremely shocked.
"Yes, that's what he said. My mother was also very surprised at the time. Didn't the regular season just end next month? I always told her that we might play the Eastern Conference Finals with the Knicks and not go home until May. , so she called me and told me this. I watched the recent Knicks games again and found that the Knicks were really suspected of cheating, so I guessed whether Xie... wanted to use this method to hit you!" Shampoo Te explained.
James sneered: "Even you can see that the Knicks are deliberately losing the game, and our coach is still stubborn. Can such a stupid coach really bring us a championship? Shumpert, are you willing to be in the first round? Just against the Knicks?"
When Shumpert thought of Xie Chen and Anthony, he immediately felt a little embarrassed: "Oh, of course not. Although I have confidence in our team, but... if there is an eventuality, it would be too ugly to be eliminated so early." Le Brown, I know you want revenge, but we can’t fall into the trap Phil and Shesheth have set in, we have to avoid them!”
James is now absolutely sure that Xie Chen wants to blackmail him. He is too lazy to go back to the room to argue with Blatt. Blatt only has the best record in the Eastern Conference. This man will not be willing to let the Cavaliers. Falling to second place in the Eastern Conference.
James said to Shumpert: "Go to the room and tell Blatt that I am not feeling well and have to go back to Cleveland. I will not be able to participate in tomorrow's game. In addition, no matter what happens next, you must calm down and believe that I will do everything." It’s for the team and the championship!”
After James finished speaking, he left in a hurry. They were in Miami now, and they were going to play the Heat away from home tomorrow. Shumpert looked at James who was walking away quickly with blurred eyes. What could be so important that he didn't even play the game?
When James returned to Cleveland, the first thing he did was to go to Cavaliers general manager David Griffin. David Griffin had long wanted to fire Blatt. This idea had come up during the All-Star period, especially during the All-Star Game. After losing big scores to the Warriors and Spurs, he was even more doubtful about Blatter's coaching ability. Recently, Blatter has gradually lost support in the locker room, so David Griffin has always had this idea, but , but it was James who stopped David Griffin from doing this.
James feels that the current Cavaliers cannot withstand such a big shock. They are going to win the championship this season, so everything must be stable and win. Changing a head coach is not a trivial matter. If the new coach cannot help the Cavaliers, then what to do?
Of course, James doesn't like Blatt and hopes to fire the NBA rookie coach. However, James hopes that former Warriors coach Mark Jackson will replace Blatt to coach the Cavaliers because Mark Jackson signed with James' agency. However, General manager David Griffin didn't agree, so James didn't agree with David Griffin to fire Blatt. Either use my people or not fire him. But now, James has to compromise. He can use anyone. , get rid of this stupid person who doesn’t obey me first!
James went directly to David Griffin's house late at night and disturbed David Griffin's beautiful event. The general manager's wife did not even pour James a glass of water and looked at James with a resentful look.
James was in no mood to care about this and directly told David Griffin's purpose.
David Griffin had long wanted to fire Blatt and support Tyronn Lue to take over. When he heard James's angry request that Blatt must be fired, he didn't hesitate: "I didn't expect that Xie, this kid, is so young." Qing has such a vicious heart, and you haven't done anything to him. Why does he insist on blackmailing you? Last year, he stole our championship, and this year, he defeated you and won the slam dunk contest. Champion, it’s us who should be angry!”
David Griffin sighed: "Since Blatt only cares about his halo as the number one coach in the Eastern Conference, then I have to let him go. However, Mark Jackson is not suitable to take over. I want assistant coach Tyronn Lue to take over first. what do you think?"
Tyronn Lue fully supported James's losing plan, so James agreed immediately.
The next day, the entire league received shocking news!
The Cavaliers have undergone tremendous changes overnight. Cavaliers head coach David Blatt is fired!
At the end of the regular season, such a major incident really shocked the entire league! All fans who follow the NBA can't believe this is true, and they can't help but ask, why? Why was Blatter fired?
Bratt has achieved very good results since he took over as head coach of the Cavaliers. Last season, when the Cavaliers were plagued by injuries, he led the team to the finals. This season, so far, it is still the top spot in the Eastern Conference. The No. 1 team, my God, the head coach of the No. 1 team in the Eastern Conference has never been fired.
Blatt became the successor to Gene Shu and Len Scott, who led the team to the Finals in the previous season and then dismissed the class in the following season. Looking at the entire NBA history, there are only three of them, and the reason why Scott was The dismissal was because the winning rate before the All-Star break was less than 50%, but the Cavaliers were different. The Cavaliers were No. 1 in the Eastern Conference, and Blatt had done a good job.
After the news came out, Israeli fans couldn't sit still at first. They attacked the Cavaliers one after another and even pointed the finger at James. Some fans cursed that James would never win another championship.
David Blatt led the Israeli team Maccabi Tel Aviv to win the European Basketball League championship and served as the head coach of the Israeli national team, so Israeli fans support him very much.
Even the Heat's junior boss KATZ came to join in the fun. He said: "James also wanted to do the same thing to Spoelstra, but failed."
The implication of the words is that it is obviously because of James that Blatter was fired. However, KATZ’s words are not credible, and he is also a businessman from Israel. The Heat’s boss Arison has always wanted to buy him. Shares, but this guy is not selling.
Suddenly, James and the Cavaliers were pushed to the forefront.
Such a major thing happened in the league, and the Knicks naturally knew about it.
"I didn't expect that one of my plans would lead to such a major change within the Cavaliers! Phil, you must have known in advance, right? That's why we were told to 'try our best to lose the game.'" Xie Chen, Phil Jackson and Anthony got together to talk about this matter. Xie Chen had been amazed for a long time.
Xie Chen never thought that one of his decisions would have such a big impact on James and the Cavaliers. He just wanted to try his best to avoid the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. He did not have to face James. He was not stupid and had nothing to do with James. Qiu, why would he do this? Why does James think Xie Chen wants to hack them?
Phil Jackson showed a kind smile, although everyone knew that this was definitely not a kind and loving old man. Blatt would be fired at this juncture, and Phil Jackson must have contributed to it.
Phil smiled and said: "I heard some rumors in advance, and then passed on some news appropriately. Anyway, they have proved that Brat cannot lead the Cavaliers to win the championship. It is better to end this unhappy relationship as soon as possible."
Anthony is an upright man. Although he envies everything James has achieved, he still feels sorry for James. Anthony said: "It's a pity that the newly appointed Tyronn Lue can't lead the Cavaliers to win the championship. Some people have always said that Blatt's employees (JR Smith and Shannon Porter) is better than you, no one will say it anymore. Of course, I am happy to see Blatt dismissed. The Cavaliers' chaos gives us an opportunity with the Knicks. If we meet in the playoffs, I believe The odds are better.”
Xie Chen nodded. Tyronn Lue only entered the coaching industry in 2009. Before that, he was well-known as the background king under Iverson's legs. Even now, when someone sees Tyronn Lue, he still mentions: "Look , this is the guy Iverson stepped over."
But after that, he and Iverson became good friends.
Tyronn Lue was an assistant coach with the Clippers before and was recruited by the Cavaliers last year to be the chief assistant coach. He has no experience as a head coach. Now let him take the job. The playoffs will be next month. I believe everyone doubts him. Whether he is qualified for this job, the Cavaliers he leads are a team that is bound to win the championship this year!
"Tylenn Lue is indeed easier to deal with than Blatt. If I meet the Cavaliers in the playoffs this year, I will probably be targeted. Everyone of them must hate me now. If they think I want to blackball them, James will definitely be eager to do it." Eat me." Xie Chen really wanted to say, I don't want to take the blame!
Anthony patted Xie Chen on the shoulder: "Do you want me to call LeBron and make it clear?"
"No." Phil Jackson said, "Just let him think that we have evil thoughts and intentions. It doesn't matter. Let's see what they will do next. If they let the Raptors be the scapegoat in order to avoid us, then It's so interesting. It's a pity that the fans outside who don't know the truth don't know what kind of game it is now. It would be more interesting if they could understand."
What Phil Jackson means is that people are looking forward to the newly appointed Tyronn Lue to see his strength and whether he can lead the team to victory, but the actual situation is that Tyronn Lue's current task is to make the Cavaliers lose. .
Sure enough, Tyronn Lue played the Miami Heat in an away game in his first game on the job, and was defeated by the Heat by more than 20 points, giving the Heat a victory.
Fans began to criticize Tyronn Lue for being incompetent and far inferior to Blatt. Did the Cavaliers general manager lose his mind and fire the head coach who helped them win the first place in the Eastern Conference? There is no reason for this!
However, no matter what, Blatter's dismissal has become an unchangeable fact, and Blatter himself did not say anything about it.
However, when Blatter left, he kept thinking of Xie Chen's name. He felt that without Xie Chen, he would not be fired.
Xie Chen also felt very guilty about Blatter. In any case, he was fired because of his plan, so Xie Chen found his contact information and wanted to express his condolences, but he didn't do it at all. Do not appreciate.
"I put a lock on both the Cavaliers and your Knicks baskets. I took the key away. Goodbye!"
Brat called again.
"None of you can win the championship this season! The Spurs are 50 times better than you! The Warriors are 100 times better than you!!" he yelled at the top of his lungs.
Chinese New Year is coming soon, please vote for the new month!
