Chapter 172 [The Melancholy Emperor]

The next opponent of the Nets is the Cavaliers. Until now, the Cavaliers have only 4 wins and 13 losses.

LeBron James came to New York on the evening of the 3rd and asked Wang Jun for lunch the next day.

James was obviously depressed and his wide body was swaying over. Wang Jun wanted to ask in his heart, "What's wrong with me, I've got a cook?" Then James replied: "Hey, I'm having a cold and having a fever." (You two crab steps are not in vain!)

Of course, Wang Jun knew that James would not understand this question, so he greeted him very casually. "Hi, LeBron, what's the matter with your expression when you just came back from Eagle County?" (Where is it dull? You are so damn!)

"If a reporter hears it, he will definitely be on the news." Wang Jun amused James with one sentence.

The two shook hands and sat down face to face.

After ordering Western food, Wang Jun asked: "You don't look very good, what happened?"

"I played two games with the Nuggets, and the Cavaliers lost. Cameron Anthony is my number one competitor to the best rookie this season. Can I be happy?" James sighed. His data in these two games were not as good as Anthony, and his evaluation was lowered.

Wang Jun also ranked fourth on the rookie list, but did not take this honor seriously. "Is the best rookie that important?"

"You have a low ranking and can certainly keep your mind calm. If I can't win this prize in the end, I will fail." James shook his head.

Wang Jun smiled and said, "Then compete for the best rookie. Your data is not bad, what are you afraid of?"

James was silent for a moment and whispered: "The thing that I have the most trouble now is that someone in the team competes with me for the ball. He always looks at me and doesn't know what to do."

"Who is so bold?"

"Ricky Davis."

The Cavaliers have good inside strength. Ilgoskas can make stable mid-range shots after pick-and-roll at high positions, and Boozer can also make room for mid-range shots. His low-post skills are great, and he scored a double-double level in the second season.

The outside line is also a big deal, but it is bad for Davis. This guy regards fighting for the ball with James and fighting for the boss as his first task, and he doesn't care about losing at all.

Davis believes that he is the core of the Cavaliers. Before James arrived, he averaged 20.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists per game.

It looks like star data, but in fact, the Cavaliers lost 65 regular season games last season. Otherwise, James would not be able to come. Davis is a typical cancer of data brushing and disregarding the team.

James proved his super strength in high school. He signed a huge contract of 93 million for 7 years without entering the league. Kobe, who had three championship rings in the summer, signed a contract with Nike for only 5 years and 45 million.

Many people think that James is the heir to "Join Leader". With this, the Cavaliers cannot let him be the second leader unless the management and coaching staff are blind.

However, Ricky Davis believes that James is here to be his younger brother.

After the game, he would say to James without hesitation: "Hey, boy, this is my shoes, carry them!"

After hearing James's words, Wang Jun was happy. "He really asked you to carry his shoes? Did you do it?"

"Yes. What else? He was the core of the team last year." James showed a constipated expression: "Would you not do it?"

"I probably pretended that I didn't hear it, and no one in the net team asked me to carry my bag."

"If you help Kidd carry his bag, it will be easier to get along with the veterans, right?"

"Do you think Kidd's bag is so easy to carry? There is someone in our team called Korver. He is very flexible after the game, and no one can guard against him carrying his bag."

“…”

"Just kidding." Wang Jun smiled and said, "Brother. You are the No. 1 pick. If I am the No. 1 pick, let the agent go to the team manager and the boss to complain. Let Davis get out, otherwise I will ask for a transfer and not stay here. Your nickname is the emperor. What is his nickname?"

Because of the triple-double incident last season, Davis was punished by the team internally. He also got the nickname "Ricky who shot the wrong shot" in Cleveland, and he was very mentally retarded when he heard it.

James was a little hesitant. "Is this OK? They would say that as soon as I entered the league, I drove away the team's former boss."

"eon! As soon as I entered the league, the head coach was driven away. Many people said I was the fuse and asked them to go. You are not happy now, so what else do you want to do in the future?" Wang Jun has always had the disease of being unhappy.

"Okay, I'll say that." James immediately called his agent Aaron Goodwin and told him about his situation in an excited tone.

Goodwin called the Cavaliers management again, which caused the boss Daniel Gilbert's anger.

What is Davis? He actually asked their future team-building core team to carry shoes?

If James is unhappy about this, he does not want to renew the contract after the rookie contract, even if he forces him to stay, there will be a gap between the two parties.

When the Cavaliers received the instructions, he immediately "putted Davis on the shelves" without asking for anything strongman, but only asking James to be happy.

Before James and Wang Jun finished their meal, the agent reported the good news. The Cavaliers boss also called James in person to comfort him like a kind elder.

"LeBron, call me directly if you have such a thing in the future. You are the team leader, no doubt."

James called, yes, ahhhh, it felt like a dream. The problem that had bothered him for a month was solved with just one call.

After hanging up the phone, James said excitedly: "Brother, the team is willing to send Davis away. Do you think I want to make another call and suggest you switch to the Cavaliers?"

"Yes, but the net team will definitely not change." Wang Jun said with a smile.

This is just a joke. The transaction must have equal salary. The Cavaliers and Wang Jun have equal salary. Capono. How could the Nets change?

James was in a good mood. "Although this is your home court, I have to treat you today, so don't worry."

"Okay, I'm not polite to you. Your annual salary plus advertising fee will earn dozens of times more than me. When you go to Cleveland to play away, you will continue to treat me to a big meal."

"No problem, I'm sure." James stretched out his big hand and patted Wang Jun. "If you guard me at night, I won't show mercy."

Wang Jun laughed: "Are you so proud? You should ask my men to show mercy. The Cavaliers are still bad teams."

"It won't be bad all the time." James was confident.

As a result, the game proved that the Cavaliers were still bad.

"Big Z" has a height advantage and can shoot, but its pick-and-roll defense is very poor. It must be equipped with a No. 4 partner who is good at pick-and-roll defense. Boozer is obviously not that kind of person.

The Nets led 38-20 with a side-by-side screen without the ball in the first quarter. Wang Jun scored three three-pointers and one two-pointer, scoring 11 points.

James performed well, but it was not continuous. Once Davis rushed to play singles on the outside, his teammates could watch it.

The Cavaliers are not yet good at scoring. Kittles returned to form and led the team to a 11-2 wave, and the score difference continued to widen.

The Cavaliers' offensive end did not improve in the second half, with a maximum of 38 points behind. After the three quarters, both sides replaced the main players early, and the game entered garbage time.

Wang Jun scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, James scored 17 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, both sitting on the bench.

The team suffered a crushing defeat and James became depressed again.
