Chapter 742 Just for victory!
Every year, I am the chef of the Eastern Army, but now I am suddenly squeezed to take action, which is a psychological gap.
You should know that James could squeeze out the Heat's former boss Wade when he left Miami, but now the position of the Eastern Conference boss was snatched by a person who suddenly appeared.
The depression in his heart is imaginable.
What made James even more anxious was that since Qian Chen was born, his team had calculated in detail for him that his personal business value had begun to decline significantly.
To put it bluntly, the total number of chef fans in the league is growing slowly. Qian Chen has more fans, so he has fewer fans. If he has fewer fans, he will make less money.
Although James had already noticed in the first game that Qian Chen's future would most likely have a huge impact on his position, he never expected that this time would be so much ahead of schedule.
A few years ago, it was Kobe's world. It was finally his turn, but now another Qian Chen suddenly appeared.
This is not giving him a way out.
Just thinking about it, James became a little autistic.
Just as James sat alone in the corner, he was staring blankly, a long arm wrapped around James' shoulder from behind.
"Hey, brother, it's just an exhibition match. You are the best in my heart!"
Wade comforted him by holding James' shoulder.
"Thank you, buddy."
Under the comfort of his brother, James' mood improved significantly.
The two reached out and slapped.
But soon Wade's expression became serious.
"Don't care about this, our only goal this year is the championship, you know, LeBron."
James nodded seriously.
"I know, brother."
This year is the second year they have been together, and they can no longer use running-in as an excuse.
With the Heat's lineup, if you can't win the championship, you will fail. The price of failure is that the Heat's current lineup is facing the crisis of disbandment.
So they are under a lot of pressure.
After the All-Star Game, the final stage of the sprint began throughout the season.
The atmosphere of the team that aspires to playoffs and even championships has become more tense and training has become more frequent.
Teams that have basically given up the playoffs have begun to compete for a good signing position for next year's draft.
The entire alliance is polarized. Since the beginning of the millennium, it has maintained a strong situation in the West and the East.
The competitive pressure of the Cavaliers in the East is not as strong as that of the West. The strong teams in the East are the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic, the Heat, which forms the Big Three, and the Cavaliers who just rose this year.
After a fierce battle, the regular season ended in mid-April.
After a tough time, the Cavaliers ranked third in the Eastern Conference with 44 wins and 14 losses.
However, this result has just entered the playoffs threshold in the West.
The Utah Jazz, who ranked eighth in the West, also happened to be 44 wins and 14 losses.
It is not an exaggeration to be strong in the west and weak in the east.
The Eastern Conference rankings range from high to low are Heat, Celtics, Cavaliers, Eagles, Pacers, Magic, Knicks, and 76ers.
The Western Conference rankings are Spurs, Thunder, Lakers, Grizzlies, Clippers, Nuggets, Mavericks, and Jazz.
The schedule for nca is to first determine the division champions between the east and the east, and then the east, the east, and the east, the championship will be duel to determine this year's championship.
Specifically, according to the regular season results, the first place in the East is eighth, the second place in the East is seventh, and so on.
Then the first vs. eighth winners competed against the fourth vs. fifth winners.
This schedule is quite unfriendly to the Cavaliers.
First they will collide with the Eastern Conference traditional team Orlando Magic, and then they are likely to collide with the traditional giant Boston Lobsters with the largest number of championships in NCA League history in the division semifinals. Ahem, the Boston Celtics.
Even if they have worked hard to defeat the Celtics, the Miami Heat will wait for them in the division finals.
On the other hand, the Heat's schedule is much easier.
The first opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers, the ten-year-old team after Iverson retired.
Then neither the Atlanta Eagles nor the Indiana Pacers were strong.
Even if the Cavaliers defeated the Big Three Heat with great difficulty, the Western Conference might be waiting for them on the championship final stage.
So the Cavaliers fans are very tolerant.
After all, this year is Qian Chen's first year, and he is still young. It is already a very outstanding, even terrible performance for a team at the bottom to become a playoff team.
Even the Cavaliers management has set a small goal to break through the first round of the playoffs, and then strive to trade Rose next year, to reinforcing Qian Chen, and then trade a reliable helper to officially join the championship competition. I'm a little excited to think about it.
The entire team seemed very relaxed, but Qian Chen did not.
To put it bluntly, it is to pursue different things.
Those who are used to tasting the bitter wine of victory and then taste the bitter wine of failure, the taste will definitely be difficult to swallow.
The Cavaliers have been experiencing failures, and even at the most glorious moment when the Little Emperor led the team, they fell one step away from the championship.
So the Cavaliers have become accustomed to failure from top to bottom.
But Qian Chen is different. Victory has been engraved into his bones. Even if there is no systematic task, he will do his best to win the championship.
Not for money, not for fame, not for glory, just for victory!
——Win the NCA championship this season.
——Success Reward: 50 Free Talent Points! One Golden Random Talent! One Golden Random Kitchen Skill! One Golden Random Kitchenware!
This reward is second only to the recruitment task given by Emilia. It means that the difficulty of winning the championship this time is second only to the orange task!
And this time, he couldn't use the on-site help!
This task is not because Qian Chen’s own strength is wrong, the key lies in his teammates.
Qian Chen's performance is basically as stable as a poi, but his teammates are different.
Ultimately, NCA's game is a team-based game.
Unless Qian Chen can beat four of the other party alone, failure will inevitably occur.
Qian Chen thought about it and inserted the "Perfect Second Head" that had just been plundered from Pippen into Owen.
Ross is too stable and has no room for improvement after being seriously injured. As a dessert master, Susan is not very capable of controlling the situation.
So Qian Chen finally decided to use this rare talent on Irving.
Irving is currently the one with the greatest room for improvement in the team, and he is also his younger brother. He will help Qian Chen with his feelings and reason.
The most important thing is that this talent can be disassembled after installation.
So Irving, who was highly expected by Qian Chen, was in trouble.
Qian Chen dragged him every day and urged him to practice more.
Seeing that other teammates were ready to leave every day, Owen was in tears.
Chapter completed!
