Chapter 1,127 The Biggest Shock to the Free Market!

July 15, 2010, Cleveland.

This day is undoubtedly a day of mixed emotions and excitement for Cavaliers fans in Cleveland.

Everything is ready in the Cleveland Cavaliers, new head coach, new players, Byron Scott, John Wall, DeRozan, Daniel Gibson, Kevin Love, JaVale McGee …

Everyone is eagerly waiting for the much-anticipated protagonist.

When LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony finally appeared on the high platform under the guidance of Cavaliers general manager David Griffin, the entire venue was quiet for a moment, and all Cavaliers fans burst into applause and cheers again. .

In the venue, other media and camera reporters were taking pictures as if they couldn't stop.

"James finally signed with the Cleveland Cavaliers!"

Although the whole world knows that James' return to the Cavaliers has become a foregone conclusion, as one of several superstars whose contracts have expired, LeBron James is the penultimate player who has not signed a contract.

After getting Roy, the Mavericks also completed the signing of Nowitzki.

After acquiring Kwame Brown, the Heat and Wade also completed the signing.

Now in the entire free market, only James and Ye Si have not signed.

There is no doubt in the world about Yeas signing with the SuperSonics.

Only James' signing with the Cleveland Cavaliers made many Cavaliers fans' hearts hang.

Although it is becoming more and more true that James will return to the Cavaliers, as long as James does not sign with the Cavaliers, everything is possible.

After all, although the signing between the SuperSonics and Yes is 100% certain, as long as Yes does not renew his contract with the Seattle SuperSonics, everything will be variable.

Because Yeas has not signed a contract, the total salary of players currently under contract with the Seattle SuperSonics is less than 60 million, which is actually less than 55 million US dollars.

With this salary amount, many people believe that the Seattle SuperSonics did not renew Ye's contract because they signed James naked in order to maintain the salary amount.

Therefore, as long as the Seattle SuperSonics do not sign with Ye Si, as long as James does not sign with the Cavaliers, everything is subject to change.

Every Clevelander and Cavaliers fan is really living like a year during this period.

Even many Cavaliers fans who had burned James' jerseys, and many Clevelanders who said they didn't want James to come back, slapped themselves in the face during this period, and their hearts began to hang, and their resentment and hatred towards James also disappeared. Slowly disappearing in such anticipation and gripping mood.

So, standing on the stage and looking at the crazy Cavaliers fans below, David Griffin was really shocked.

In the past, he didn't understand why James had to wait and didn't want to renew his contract with the Cavaliers immediately.

Now he finally knows that time can really eliminate everything.

James's method is indeed to leave. On July 1st, many Cleveland fan organizations joined forces to make James look good at James' signing conference and ask James to apologize for leaving Cleveland.

But now, in just fifteen days, the problem of Cavaliers fans' connection that worried him and the Cavaliers management has completely disappeared.

"Ignore it, just wait."

Two years after leaving Cleveland, LeBron James's methods and wisdom have become even more unfathomable.

In the venue where James signed the contract, Cavaliers fans were extremely excited and crazy, and cheered James extremely enthusiastically.

This made many reporters who came here to watch the excitement very disappointed.

"These Cavaliers fans are so licky!"

"I promised that after being hurt by the goddess, I want the goddess to look good, so what if I let the goddess dovetail?"

"The goddess just knelt down after not contacting her for a few days!"

"These guys are all a bunch of old TGs!"

"However, James' experience with this kind of TG is really incredible."

"No way, isn't there a person in Miami who almost licked the House?"

At James' signing ceremony, many reporters were whispering in the audience.

While the reporters in the audience were whispering, James on the stage had already begun his return speech under the introduction of David Griffin.

Many reporters in the audience were actually very disdainful of James' return speech.

Wasn't he just driven away by Wade?

He didn't want to be the fourth child for his best brother and confidant, Yes, so he returned to the Cavaliers.

Don't act like you love knights very much.

only……

In the disdainful eyes of the reporters in the audience, James' speech slowly began to make these reporters who were originally disdainful and contemptuous began to respect him.

Because they really saw James' deep love for this team and this land in James' speech.

"I was just a kid from Northeast Ohio before anyone cared where I played. This is where I walked, where I ran, where I cried, where I bled. It's always had a special place in my heart. position. The people there watched me grow up, and sometimes I feel like I am their son."

"When I left Cleveland, I had a mission, I wanted to chase the championship, and after that, we failed to win the championship twice. And after these two failures, I understood even more how important my departure was. Stupid, why should I bear the pain of losing the championship for Miami? Even if I have to bear the pain of winning the championship, I have to bear it all for my mother and my Cleveland!"

"Our city has not tasted the taste of a championship for a long time. There is no doubt that my goal when I come back this time is to win as many championships as possible. The most important thing is to bring back a gold cup to Northeast Ohio!"

"Even when I left the Cavaliers and Cleveland last time, when the Miami Heat were at their strongest and most arrogant, I always believed that I would return to Cleveland and end my career here, but, that I don’t know when it will be.”

"And now, Cleveland, I'm back!"

"I can't think of a place other than Cleveland that I would choose to leave Miami for, a place where I could easily dominate the Eastern Conference and compete for a championship."

"It's not a hard choice!"

"The longer I stay away from Cleveland, the easier this choice becomes. This choice makes me feel happy and joyful from the soul!"

“Last time, I walked away from everything I had spent a long time building, and now I have to do it all over again, and this time, I’m going to do things differently.”

"I know it's a tough goal. We're not ready yet. Of course I want to win it next year, but I'm also realistic. It's going to be a long process, even longer than 2008. John , DeRozan, Daniel, JaVale, Kevin, we have many, many outstanding young players. This time I have the patience to be tested. I know that I am facing a young team and a brand new coach. And I am the most mature one on the team. I am honored to lead them, and I have the determination and confidence to help them reach heights that they never thought they could reach."

"Just like Yes, I will build a completely different world in Cleveland!"

"I can't promise that we will win the championship. Winning the championship is our ultimate pursuit, but I don't want to lie to you. I can't promise that we will win the championship. However, after I come back this time, I will never leave Cleveland again!"

"This is my promise!"

"!Thisisforyou!"

As James imitated Yes and shouted "! This is for you!", the atmosphere of the entire signing venue reached its extreme!

Everyone clearly heard James' agreement to Cleveland and everyone here.

Rebuild, champion, create an ideal world that belongs to Cleveland like Seattle, and shout out the promise of never leaving Cleveland again with "! This is for you!"

When Yes shouted "Seattle! This is for you!", Seattle once again won their championship.

When James shouted "! This is for you!", Cleveland got LeBron James who will belong to them forever!

For Cleveland and Cavaliers fans, LeBron James is as important as the championship.

After James's roar, the entire venue seemed to be so hot that the air could burn.

As another protagonist of this signing ceremony, Anthony watched all this with shock in his eyes.

After the Cavaliers traded for him, LeBron found him in person and talked to him about many things, including him and Wade, him and Paul, and him and Yes.

James said it very sincerely.

He even told him in front of him that he was indeed sorry for Wade, sorry for Paul, and sorry for Yes.

He failed to live up to his ideal of ruling the NBA with Wade, destroyed Paul's dream for his own dream, and also violated his agreement with Ye Si for his own origin and city.

"Cameron, I am very hurt. I can feel Yes's expectations for me and their enthusiasm for me to join. Even after the finals, Yes has been inquiring and urging me to take the next step through his team. I can Feeling the strong feelings that Yes wanted me."

"At one time, I really felt that going to Seattle and forming a team with Yes was the right thing to do. However, in the end I chose Cleveland. It was easy to leave Miami, but it was really difficult to come back to Cleveland. It takes support from my wife and my mother and my kids, and it can be hard for them, and they're even used to everything in Seattle, and everything in Seattle is great for them, and Cleveland, Dan Gilbert The letters, the boos from the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned... these things are very uncomfortable and painful for them."

"However, I still chose to come back here, because I know that I can't escape, no matter how big the obstacle is, I can't escape, so I met you, face to face, man to man, and we talked things out. Everyone makes mistakes, I have made mistakes, but Cameron, haven't you made any mistakes? If you hadn't helped Yes backstab us in All-Stars, how could we have ended up like this? Since we all made mistakes , why should we feel jealous?”

"Cameron, I know this request is rude, but Melo, my dream really needs your help!"

Looking at him, he was about to bow down to himself, his eyes were misty. LeBron, who was so proud and strong in the past, was like this in front of him. Anthony finally hugged James. The two people hugging each other thought about every little thing in the past four years. The past events made me burst into tears.

At that moment, Anthony knew that he and his loyalty had been bound to James...

There is no doubt that the signing ceremony of James and Anthony was very successful.

Regardless of the attitude of the Cavaliers or Cleveland, even those fans on the Internet who have never been too friendly to James all recognized James' return speech very, very much.

Even the number one fan on the Internet, who always likes to make irresponsible remarks about James, is either fifteen or number two, and he didn't say anything sarcastic.

It should be said that No. 15 is No. 2. After Roy made a shocked expression after being traded by the Rockets, he made another shocked expression the next day. After that, he never appeared again.

Many people say that the Rockets' operation of trading Roy directly eliminated the No. 1 fan who is not fifteen but second.

In any case, James, who is not number one but fifteen, is here to cause trouble. James's speech was an all-round success.

After receiving feedback from all aspects, James himself breathed a sigh of relief.

"Finally, after finishing everything, I can finally seriously start my new career next season!"

James returned home and thought to himself after once again rejecting Popovich's call.

Looking at the call from Popovich, James felt a little disgusted.

It must be another time for him to consider joining the US team and be Rondo's little brother.

This guy is crazy and wants to force others to go crazy with him.

"Who would be a serious person to be Rondo's little brother!"

This is a quote that many people have adapted from Bosh’s famous quote.

There are currently 12 spots on the U.S. team. Except for a few Spurs star players such as Duncan and Stephen Jackson, there is no All-Star who is willing to join the U.S. team and serve as Rondo's younger brother. Hanging.

The status of the World Championship among NBA stars is not that high to begin with, and now Rondo is the boss. Apart from Spurs players like Duncan, which star is willing to support it?

Therefore, as long as Popovich holds Rondo as the boss, then go to the NCAA or high school league to find someone.

There are many young people out there waiting for the call to make a name for themselves.

Even the proud ones like Brother Big Eyebrow and Austin Rivers will not have any interest in the US team where Rondo is the boss.

"The weakest dream team in history!"

This is what everyone is saying about this year’s Team USA.

But Popovich is still tough-talking.

"As long as we have Rondo and Duncan, we can't be the weakest dream team in history!"

"You dare to call the American team the weakest, led by two of the strongest fifteen-man players in history. Who gave you the courage?!"

"Even if Rajon and Tim bring ten high school students, we can all reach the finals of the World Championships!"

Popovich is very arrogant now, but James has no interest in accompanying him in his arrogance.

He is not a born loser, and he will not accompany such an Alzheimer's patient to play this kind of game where he is slapped in the face by the whole world and thinks he can fight back.

After rejecting Duncan, James looked at the empty home in a daze for a while.

Because he chose to return to Cleveland, his wife, mother, and children were all angry with him.

No way, after seeing the prosperity of Seattle, who wants to return to Cleveland?

He and Anthony said that the resistance given by his family to his choice was very huge, and there was absolutely no exaggeration.

Now his wife, children and mother have not returned to Cleveland with him, but continue to stay in Seattle for vacation.

Therefore, he was the only one left in the entire villa.

But it doesn't matter. He has a very good relationship with his family. Although his family doesn't understand him now, they are still a family and things will eventually pass.

Thinking of this, James sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

Because of the success of today's signing ceremony, James is certain that he will be the focus of all the big news in the United States today.

After all, he caused the biggest shock to the free market today.

Um?

However, after James turned on the TV, there was no news or any programs on the TV. The scene on the TV was in a place that was very familiar to James.

"This is the Seattle SuperSonics press room!"

Because he has always wanted to go to the Seattle SuperSonics, he is very, very familiar with everything about the Seattle SuperSonics.

"Is it because I signed with the Cavaliers that Yes will also sign with the Seattle SuperSonics?"

Thinking of this, James felt it was very possible.

In order to wait for him, Yes has been delaying signing with the Seattle SuperSonics.

In this regard, James has always felt guilty in his heart.

In this world, even a brother like Wade can humiliate him like that.

And Yes, she stood by him at all times, came to his rescue during the All-Stars, and selflessly set the stage for him when he was his teammate. It can be said that in this world of intrigues, Yes is the only one who treats him with kindness. A professional player with a pure heart.

For such a person, even if he is an opponent again, and he is regarded as a target to be defeated, no matter how hard his heart is, he will still soften in the face of such a 'softness' as Yes.

Therefore, what he said to Anthony was really correct. His decision not only made his family unhappy, but also made him feel guilty about Yes.

Now he doesn't even dare to face what kind of face and mood Yes will use to face the questions raised by reporters about his signing with the Cavaliers.

James can be sure that at the press conference, those troublemaking reporters will frantically ask Yes about his signing with the Cavaliers and breaking the agreement.

Thinking of those reporters who like to make trouble, James looked ugly.

And just when James looked ugly, that familiar figure finally appeared.

Also appearing with him were Seattle SuperSonics president Rick Sander, general manager Presti and head coach Nelson, and even Seattle SuperSonics owner Bill Gates appeared, but this Seattle SuperSonics The boss sat directly back to his special seat under the stage.

"Isn't it just a contract extension? Is it necessary to make it so grand?"

Not only James was confused, but many reporters at the scene and many viewers in front of the TV were also very confused.

After Ye Si sat down in his seat, a reporter from Los Angeles immediately stood up and asked the first question in the same manner.

"Yes, what do you think of today's signing of LeBron James with the Cavaliers? The whole world, like you, believes that he will become your teammate next season. Now, he has returned to Cleveland."

James's face darkened, Damn Los Angeles!

Bad guy!

Ye Si just glanced at the reporter who suddenly stood up to cause trouble and then didn't look at him again.

Instead, he started talking to himself.

"This is a difficult decision for me, my teammates, my fans, my boss and the team, and my city."

Another tough decision?

Now when everyone signs a contract, do they have to play Yao Ming’s ‘hard decision joke’?

Yes, renew your contract with the Seattle SuperSonics. What’s so difficult about this?

Such forced jokes are not fun.

Although Yes is not a very eloquent person, he shouldn't be so unwise, right?

But soon, everyone who was confused knew why Ye Si said such a thing.

"Thanks to my teammates, my coach, my boss, and my team for giving me the respect and understanding of this decision. It's the happiest thing in my life to have such a great group of friends."

"Now, I solemnly announce to the world that I will temporarily retire from the NBA indefinitely."

"It's a tough decision, and it's a basketball decision."

After Ye Si finished speaking, except for Bill Gates and others who still looked calm, all the reporters at the scene were shocked as if their souls were out of their bodies.

Even James stood up from his seat in shock at this time.

It wasn't until Ye Si and the others stood up and prepared to leave that the reporters at the scene reacted.

"Yes, is this because of LeBron James?!"

"Is it because LeBron James defaulted on your contract that you were devastated?!"

"Or is it because of Rajon Rondo's betrayal or the Rockets' betrayal of Roy that made you see the indifference of the NBA?!"

Almost immediately, these reporters frantically threw a bunch of questions at Ye Si.

But at this time, Ye Si did not stop leaving.

Faced with the menacing reporters, who even ignored the security and rushed towards Ye Si, the security personnel who had been prepared at the scene did not dare to relax at all as if the enemy was coming.

Fortunately, although Yes left, as the team's general manager, Presti still stayed to answer the questions of these crazy reporters, which made these reporters quiet down.

"For reasons we all know, the past half month has been an extremely difficult time for Yes. When we learned about Yes's decision, we were as shocked as you. However, in the end, we all understood Yes This decision."

"To you, Yes in the past four years has been a god, an omnipotent god. But to us, in the past four years, Yes has been thinking about fulfilling Seattle's dynasty promise all the time. Seconds of rest, he is a god, but also a human being who needs rest and comfort.”

"But in the past period of time, he didn't get any rest because he fulfilled his dynasty commitment to Seattle. He even got more pressure than other times. As we all know, the pressure in the past half month has been very heavy on Yes. It's tough, he's like a spring that's been stretched to the extreme, he needs to rest now."

"So, after Yes told us his decision and considerations, we all agreed and supported and respected his decision."

"It's hard, but Yes is more important to us than anything else!"

After Presti finished speaking, the reporters at the scene were still asking frantically who was the culprit that made Ye Si finally choose to retire temporarily.

James?

Rondo?

Rocket?

Who is the last straw that breaks Yes’s back?

"Yes is an extremely strong person. He will never be crushed by straw. There is no straw or existence in this world that can crush Yes. This is his personal problem. I don't know either, but I know that yes needs it now. To rest, he needs to adjust his mood and mentality."

"However, I believe that Yes will come back again, and when he comes back, he will be stronger than ever!"

Presti saw that these reporters were still asking James, who was the culprit, Rondo or the Rockets, and left after finally saying these words.

After Presti left, the whole world and the entire Internet went crazy.

The first NBA player to retire at his peak!

This script is very familiar!

And this time, Ye Si caused a much greater shock than Jordan in the past!

The trigger for Jordan's retirement was the death of his father.

But this time, Ye Si retired almost without any warning.

"Before, the whole world knew that Yes was a white lotus as pure as a fairy tale. Before, the whole world didn't know how much of a fairy tale, how pure, and how white Yes was. Now, everyone knows that only fairy tales are extremely pure. Only those who have reached the ultimate level of White Lotus will be hit by something like this and temporarily retire!"

"Only this kind of Yes can make so many people willing to fight for him and allow him to perform such a miracle in this year's finals!"

“Seattle’s success is a fairy tale, and its failure is a fairy tale!”

The whole world seems to be going crazy at this time.

The speculation about who was the culprit of Ye Si's retirement finally became even more crazy because of an anonymous insider's revelation.

"There is no doubt that although the Rockets' trade of Roy made Yes angry, and Rondo's betrayal made Yes painful, there is no doubt that James's betrayal was the culprit that made Yes leave. Yes can't understand why James would choose Back in Cleveland, is the championship so important?"

"Everyone knows that Yes wants to be teammates with James very much, to the point of being almost crazy. For Yes, being able to be teammates with James is one of the happiest things for him, and it is also his pursuit of basketball. One, but James’ decision makes Yes seem to have lost the fun of basketball.”

"James signed a four-year contract with the Cavaliers. This 3+1 contract made Yes very disappointed, very, very disappointed. This is the reason why Yes chose to leave the NBA temporarily under this series of blows."

"Maybe you may doubt what I said, maybe you will have doubts about my identity, but everything I said is true, because Yes hopes to be teammates with James, and he hopes that James can complete the victory over Kerry Fran’s promise.”

"Although Yes is very reluctant to let James return to the Cavaliers, Yes is too kind. His kindness makes people feel heartache. He knows that he is in the league. With the current strength of him and the Sonics, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to win the championship in a short time and establish James said the world is the same as Seattle, so Yes is willing to give James three years, and he chooses to retire from the NBA, leaving James three years to win a championship and a dynasty."

"Yes, for James's betrayal, Yes did not treat James as evil as Chris Paul and Wade did, but chose to make greater sacrifices. Seeing Yes make such a decision, each of us is very sad. Shocking, if there really is a God in this world who can sacrifice for others, then this God will not be someone else, but only Yes!"

"Yes even firmly believes that when he gives James three years, with the strength and potential of James Anthony and the Cavaliers, plus the No. 1 picks that the Nets traded O'Neal to give the Cavaliers blood, James will definitely be able to complete his plan for Cliff. Lan’s promise.”

"When James completes all his commitments to the Cavaliers and Cleveland, James can jump out of his contract with the Cavaliers in the fourth year and come to Seattle without any worries. By that time, Yes will also return. It’s time!”

"This is the complete story of Yes' retirement. I know that even if I finish speaking, you will still doubt it, but this is the fact. Time will prove everything. Three years later, time will prove that every word I said is true. correct!"

Yes's retirement is for James to fulfill his promise of a championship and dynasty in Cleveland!

After this insider post, the whole world seemed to be going crazy and suffocating.

Even James was stunned by the idea of ​​this post at this time.

However, he did not believe that there were such kind and pure people in this world, that there were people who could treat him so well, and that there were people who could treat him better than his mother and wife.

But he couldn't find any reason to refute this post.

"In three years, did Yes really give me three precious years to complete my commitment to Cleveland?!"

After being shocked, James' face was filled with ecstasy for an instant!

Like the rest of the world, he believed this post more than he doubted it.

Because, after Yes left, the double-super giant Cavaliers became the strongest team in the NBA!

The weak competitive environment in the East, coupled with the strongest strength!

Yes, James and the Cavaliers will benefit most from retirement!

How can a guy like the Mavericks, who is a dead man in the grave, and a guy like the Warriors, who is strong on the outside but hard on the inside, be a match for the Cavaliers!

Yes has sacrificed so much for him. If he still can't succeed, he is willing to join the SuperSonics with a minimum salary when Yes returns!

"My dynasty, my era, is coming!"

In James's cheerful roar, the whole world continued to vibrate!
