Chapter 549: Winning G1

Mike Brown stood sluggishly, but Laura next to him pushed him impatiently: "Brown! Think of a way!"

Laura can also see that there are huge problems in the knights now, but what the specific problems are, to be honest, from her perspective, she really can’t see it. It is obvious that the knights are strong in almost every point, but it makes people feel that the knights are strong. Their overall tactics were a mess, as if they couldn't pull it together despite all their efforts, they were always defeated one by one by Supersonic Speed.

She naturally blamed all this on head coach Mike Brown. It was because of this useless coach that she could not see any tactics from the Cavaliers.

And now, during the precious 5 minutes of rest time after the first quarter, he is still in a daze!

"Go do something for them!" Laura pushed him again, and at the same time couldn't help but growled at Mike Brown: "Don't take your salary for nothing, idiot!"

Only then did Mike Brown come back to his senses from his sluggishness. He looked at this young female boss with a complex expression who didn't know anything about football and only knew about romance and applause that didn't belong to her. A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Ah, when it comes to the overall compatibility of this team, I seem to have missed one boss who is actually the most incompatible.

Longguo people say that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. What kind of team can an owner who only cares about fame and fortune, doesn't care about basketball, and has no respect for anyone own a team?

There is no need to wait for her to fire him. After this game, he will resign on his own initiative and never have to look at the face of this volatile woman again.

However, even if you resign, you should end the matter at hand first. As Laura said, since you have received this salary, you must at least do something for them.

"Give up." Mike Brown put down the tactical board in his hand: "If you still want to adjust your mentality and regain the qualifications to compete with the Sonics, then leave the court now and enjoy a bubble bath...or women Whatever, whatever!”

Mike Brown smiled and looked at LeBron and then at Lola: "Perhaps in G2, you can forget all the low-level mistakes in this game and start again. Otherwise, the remaining three quarters will affect your state. Completely hit rock bottom, and then... Haha, let alone this series, you may not be able to recover next year!"

Except for Kidd who seemed to agree silently, everyone else in the knights was stunned. Laura's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief: "What? What did you say?!"

"I've made it very clear." Mike Brown smiled and pointed to the coaching badge on his chest: "Do you want me to take it off and give it to you now? In front of all the media, reporters and cameras?"

Laura choked. Although Miss Qianjin's emotional intelligence was not good enough, she still had some innate sense of danger due to her father's influence.

Although she had made up her mind to let this guy go, but she fired the head coach after the game because of the loss, had a big fight with the head coach on the spot, and forced the head coach to resign on the spot, which would be very detrimental to the Cavaliers and her image as a boss. That said, they are two completely different concepts.

Is it because the words 'idiot' just stung him? But he was a fool to begin with!

Laura took a deep breath and suppressed her anger: "I'm sorry, the team lost, I was in a bad mood just now. If I said something excessive, I hope you won't take it to heart..."

After a pause, she continued: "This is only the first quarter, we still have three quarters left! We have home field advantage, we even have..."

"I said, I can't help it." The other party calmed down on the surface, and Mike Brown would not immediately break up. The disagreement between the head coach and the boss was just a small matter, but to deliberately provoke the capital behind it, it was purely because he didn't want to. alive.

"The current overall tactical rhythm of the SuperSonics is too fast, and it is very difficult to target it. Maybe some loopholes can be found after the review and technical analysis after the game, but that can never be done on the spot, or "It's not something I can do." This kind of thing shouldn't be said by a head coach. Admitting that he has no ability is tantamount to blocking his future coaching path, but Mike Brown has already thought clearly. , given the personalities of Laura and her daughter, after this competition, they will definitely replace themselves, and they will definitely find various reasons for replacing themselves. By then, those rhetoric will only be worse than what they say now. Oops, he was already destined to end his coaching career.

If that's the case, what else is there to care about? At least I feel comfortable.

Mike Brown said calmly: "It is the best choice for everyone to give up now. That will at least allow them to retain a little confidence, but if you insist on letting them play... then go ahead and play freely. I am thinking now. It’s such a mess, there’s really nothing we can do about it, sorry!”

Kidd patted him on the shoulder, and O'Neal patted him on the back to express comfort.

Laura was trembling with anger, but could not speak.

She could feel that Mike Brown seemed to be telling the truth, and even her instinct was telling her that the Cavaliers had no chance of winning this game.

But there were so many celebrities at the scene to support her, and so many fans gathered. They wanted the Cavaliers to give up the game, or even leave everyone...

"Then give up strategically." Kidd chose to support Mike Brown: "There will be no miracles if we continue to play. Reviewing the game after the game and studying the SuperSonics' style of play is the correct way to deal with it."

"Agree." O'Neal, who was almost crushed, voted in favor.

Others looked at Laura Ballmer, but the young female boss of the Cavaliers gritted her teeth and remained silent.

Seeing that the break time was almost here, Laura still had no idea, and finally heard LeBron's voice: "You guys have a rest, I'll come."

Everyone was stunned, and Wade helped: "Then I'll come too."

"No!"

LeBron smiled and patted his brother on the shoulder: "The coach is right, continuing to play will only destroy your confidence. Every second on the court is suffering... and you will also endure the abuse from the fans, which is not good for you. The state adjustment is not conducive to the subsequent series.”

"However, you can't go all-in, as that will make the fans at the scene extremely disappointed and even turn against you."

"so……"

LeBron's eyes flashed with an unusual light at this time.

"The Cavaliers need someone to come out and get scolded, and that person can only be me." He looked at Laura with a smile, and then turned to look at all the teammates around him: "Because I have experienced this too much, and I don't care!"

Laura's eyes lit up, Wade felt a little moist in his eyes, and even O'Neal couldn't help but feel a little moved and ashamed at this moment, and for the first time he took the initiative to say something to LeBron.

He really doesn't want to play. It's too torturous for him on the court now. He believes LeBron is the same, but... he is still willing to stand up.

O'Neal always thought that this guy was a deserter. Even the last time he went to Japan, he just made excuses to avoid facing the Sonics. But now it seems that he was wrong.

"LeBron..." Laura felt a little distressed. At the critical moment, this man was the only one who chose to take all the responsibilities, and stood by her even at the cost of being scolded!

LeBron shook his head at her, and the determination on his face fascinated Laura.

beep!

The referee blew the whistle to remind the team to return.

"So be it." Laura glanced at the other players with disgust, then ignored Mike Brown and said directly: "You pick people!"

LeBron quickly named four substitutes.

Looking at his calm and unhurried look, as if he was generous and righteous,

"Brother!" Wade reached out and put his hand together, and everyone else patted LeBron on the shoulder or back to express comfort.

Even O'Neal, who has always been dissatisfied with anyone, couldn't help but say: "Hey brother, good job!"

LeBron smiled and took his arm and bumped shoulders.

When he turned around to take the stage, the gentle smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by slightly upturned corners of his mouth.

Brotherhood? For a lover? For the glory of the knight? To appease the fans? To help them get scolded?

hehe……

Many people wanted to take advantage of him and regarded him, a child from the slums, as a dog.

From Nike's 90 million in seven years, to various media hyping up the topic of him and Lin Dong for traffic, to the former general manager of the Cavaliers recruiting him to the Cavaliers, to Lola, a stupid woman, and now Phil Knight .

If it were his high school self, he would have stepped into a trap and couldn't avoid it.

But now he is no longer the simple high school student, just like he did to the former general manager of the Cavaliers.

In fact, they don't know who is the master and who is the dog. People who take advantage of others will always be taken advantage of.

With the Cavaliers' main players almost all-in, the SuperSonics will face a problem, that is, whether their main players will be able to go all-in.

Not down?

Aren't they worried about what happened with Artest and Barnes just now? The Cavaliers now have four substitutes on the court, no matter how they replace them, they won't lose!

The few people he selected are all hot-tempered leaders in the team. They usually don't get enough opportunities to perform, and they are full of violent tempers. Now they finally have the opportunity to show their faces in the finals, but they are pushed to the ground and rubbed by the opponent, and even They may not even be able to touch the ball. Do you think they will get angry... In addition, Bavetta's whistle is obviously to make both sides angry. These people are all old people and they don't understand. Yes, in the end, no matter who they trade for from the Sonics, they will definitely make a profit without losing anything.

And if the SuperSonics choose to let their main players off the field and use their substitute lineup to deal with it, then their opportunity will come!

He is enough to lead these four losers to beat the SuperSonics bench. The 26-point difference may be difficult to catch. Once the SuperSonics fall into a disadvantage, they will definitely not continue to let the main players sit. The Cavaliers will definitely not be able to win in the end.

But……

The Cavaliers can lose, and the whole world can lose.

But I cannot lose, and I will never lose!

Single-handedly carrying the Cavaliers to recover the score and causing greater trouble for the SuperSonics, I will become Cleveland's new hero!

At that time, whether it is Wade, O'Neal, or Kidd, they will all become the background behind their own glory. Even if they lose, they will be proud!

As for next year... I can convince Wade to cut his salary, he can convince O'Neal to also cut his salary, and he can convince Lola to pay the high luxury tax, but what about the SuperSonics? It is impossible for their lineup to remain intact. They will lose Payton and a lot. The league may not even allow Sakuragi Hanamichi and Lin Dong to continue to partner... and by then, he will become a true partner of Cleveland. hero!

beep!

Both sides returned to their positions in the second quarter.

The SuperSonics' lineup seems to be unchanged, and they are still the same five dead players just now, but the Cavaliers' lineup has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The center is Martinas Andriuskevicius from Lithuania, the power forward is Ira Newbell, the small forward is LeBron James, the shooting guard is Stephen Graham, and the point guard is Larry Hughes.

Except for LeBron James, the other three superstars of the Cavaliers are all out.

The stadium was in an uproar.

Although the fans at the scene knew that it would be difficult for the Cavaliers to win the game just by looking at the score at the end of the first quarter and the state of the Supersonics at that time, losing after trying their best is still different from the team giving up the game voluntarily.

Fortunately, there was only one LeBron out, and what could LeBron do against such a Supersonics?

McMillan on the sidelines immediately became alert. The Cavaliers did not put down all the main players, and it did not look like they had given up completely, but it seemed that they were going to make trouble again.

Lin Dong, who was standing next to him, laughed. Before he went on the court, he patted McMillan on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."

Those substitute players were not Nike's spokespersons, and they had no vested interests. Phil Knight wanted them to risk their careers to cripple someone, but he probably didn't have that much charisma. At most, he could just control their tempers on the court.

As for LeBron's instructions...

Others don't understand LeBron, but don't I?

Not to mention the judgment given to him by time in his previous life, I have had enough contact with him in this life.

He never writes the word "bad" on his face, and he doesn't even want to be "bad". He has suffered a loss once by crippling someone, and he won't do it again. His purpose is just to get some points.

But...the points and data still haven't increased.

After suffering so many losses and going through so much, although LeBron has learned some lessons, he still hasn't understood the most core thing.

That is, when you don't have enough ability, the higher you stand, the heavier you will fall!

He always felt that fame and prestige could enhance his skills, but he didn't know that it would backfire on him and bring him unbearable consequences.

Want to score? Want the Cavaliers to lose but your data to not lose?

Then come on, I'll make it happen for you.

Just play as usual on your side, anyway, the Sonics have already won this game.

…………

The Sonics' main players only played the first five minutes of the third quarter.

It can be seen that the Cavaliers' four substitutes, led by LeBron, were almost powerless against the Sonics' main lineup in form.

On the offensive end, except for LeBron who scored a few goals against Rukawa Kaede, other players were frequently blocked and intercepted, the overall offense was extremely poor, and the defensive end could not keep up with the Sonics' rhythm at all.

Lin Dong could even go to the basket to fight against the opponent's Lithuanian center!

The basket was blown up and the outside shots were blown up, and the Sonics quickly widened the gap to as much as 35 points.

Then the Sonics replaced Lin Dong and Payton, whose physical strength was almost exhausted, and led by Iguodala and Rukawa Kaede on the court, and they were able to fight back and forth with this Cavaliers. LeBron's blockade could only target one person, and when the two were pulled to the outside lines on both sides, Luke took on his former responsibility of organizing the point guard and was able to connect the entire team.

Of course, the Sonics at this time also lost their overall defense and had no way to deal with LeBron.

The result was that they started to explode each other, and the Cavaliers had a slight advantage.

The score of the two sides went from 35 to 30, and then to 25.

Then Lin Dong replaced Rukawa Kaede for a while, and he didn't attack much, just controlling the rhythm on the court, using his own breakthroughs to create more point guard opportunities for the outside line, and easily stabilized the difference between the two sides at about 25 points, so that LeBron could not get closer.

The Win Arena once cheered for LeBron and celebrated every time the Cavaliers chased points, but in fact the result was doomed from the beginning.

All the substitutes of the Supersonics got the chance to rotate, and the 25-point difference lasted until the end.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

When the whistle finally sounded, the huge 102:127 on the electronic scoreboard indicated the victory of the Supersonics, and it also seemed to indicate that the plan of American fans to rely on superstars to unite and contain the Supersonics was declared bankrupt.

All the players were healthy and in good condition. Except for the post-match penalties of Sakuragi Hanamichi and Chandler, which were not yet issued, so there was some concern, the Supersonics won Game 1 almost without bloodshed!
