On tuesday, January 10, 2006, the Seattle SuperSonics suffered another crushing defeat last night in a back-to-back game against the New York Knicks.

Early in the morning, several major New York Media outlets began reporting gossip about their opponent.

Seattle SuperSonics forward Reggie Evans’ agent proactively issued a departure statement after the game.

Dan Fegan pointed the finger at the new Head Coach, Bob Hill, and publicly called out team manager Rick Sund through the media:

“Reggie has no role on this team. We hope the team trades him to a place where his skills can be better utilized!”

In last night’s game, Lewis shot poorly, going 6-for-20, while Ray Allen was 12-for-29.

The inefficient performance of both players in the back-to-back game ultimately led to a helpless loss.

Radmanovic earned the Head Coach’s trust with his excellent form, while Reggie Evans only got 12 minutes of playing time.

Balancing player interests is a difficulty every team faces, and the Seattle SuperSonics clearly couldn’t suppress it anymore.

The locker room exploded, and agents were openly attacking!

New York Media obtained reliable information: Seattle SuperSonics General Manager Rick Sund confirmed Dan Fegan’s request but denied any trade.

The Seattle SuperSonics, who made it to the Western Conference Finals last season, suddenly fell apart.

Thinking of the New York Knicks, who dominate the league, New York Media felt an inexplicable sense of superiority.

Several column articles began to subtly praise Lee’s leadership skills again:

“Under Clay Lee’s leadership, the New York Knicks’ locker room has never had a problem! Clay Lee is a born leader. He is a gift from God to New York!”

“.”

Such blatant praise made New York fans feel good.

Allan Houston, who retired last year, also spoke highly of his old teammate recently on the NY-Sports program:

“In his Rookie season, Lee already showed leadership qualities. On the court, we all trusted him.”

“Many times, he could dictate the team’s tactics, and Head Coach Van Gundy and the coaching staff would also consider his opinions.”

“Perhaps everyone only saw Lee’s stats, but in my opinion, Lee’s leadership was underestimated. Not every Rookie can perfectly integrate into a team.”

“Think about our roster at the time: Larry Johnson, Charles Oakley, Patrick Ewing, John Starks.”

“Everyone liked Clay Lee. We were close-knit. That’s why we were able to win the championship.”

The words of the honest Allan Houston were very convincing.

Fans who watched the show felt that Lee’s leadership was off the charts.

Ever since Clay Lee surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the local New York sports media no longer hid their praise, finding new ways to laud him every day.

In last Friday’s game against the Washington Wizards, Lee once again slacked off, visibly lacking offensive desire, scoring only 28 points.

However, the New York Times column article after the game read:

“Efficient Double-Double, Clay Lee’s selfless performance inspired the team, and the New York Knicks won by a large margin!”

ESPN heavily praised Lee’s Excel, and local New York Media repeatedly emphasized “leadership qualities” this new season.

Confused fans thought the media was right.

Players from various teams wanted to refute but feared becoming a backdrop, so they could only remain “silent.”

On the evening of the same day, during the Houston Rockets vs. Bobcats game, Chinese sports media also experienced the omnipresent “Clay Lee praise.”

106:111. After two overtimes, the Houston Rockets narrowly lost on the road, failing to end their losing streak.

Tracy McGrady was plagued by a back injury, and Yao Ming suffered a toe injury.

With both core players still absent, the Houston Rockets’ record of 12 wins and 21 losses was rapidly approaching the top draft pick spot.

Brevin Knight, who was previously Lee’s backup, shone brightly for the Bobcats this season.

In tonight’s game, he even recorded a Double-Double of 15 points, 4 rebounds, 18 assists, 1 steal, and 1 turnover.

Wang Meng, who attended the press conference alongside Yao Ming after the game, was full of questions.

“18 assists and 1 turnover, that’s nothing special!”

“I received guidance from Lee when I was with the New York Knicks, and he taught me the true meaning of a point guard.”

“I’m just bringing championship experience to the Bobcats. My time with the New York Knicks is the most valuable asset of my career.”

Watching Brevin Knight speak eloquently on stage, Wang Meng was a bit confused.

In recent years, it seemed that more and more players across the league were sharing their championship experience.

Lee was still at home in Manhattan at this time.

He was scheduled to challenge the Cavaliers on the road on thursday, and he would fly to Cleveland with the team tomorrow.

He was in his study, reviewing Manchester United’s financial statements, occasionally sneezing.

Lee rubbed his nose and muttered, “Who’s praising me?”

Ivanka, wearing only a black bathrobe, swayed her hips into the study, placed the coffee on the table, and then sat on Lee’s lap.

Embracing the shirtless Lee, one hand massaging his shoulder and the other gently caressing his chest muscles, Ivanka kissed Lee and then said with concern:

“I told you to wear more, darling. At the end of the month, we can visit my aunt.”

Natural gas prices were falling rapidly, and Axe Capital had cashed out by the end of November.

Although they didn’t maximize profits, they had already won big compared to their neighbors.

JPMorgan Chase recently changed its CEO, and Lee needed to leverage Donald’s family connections to talk to them.

Their neighbors had gone bankrupt, and they needed to prepare for a takeover in advance.

Embracing the blonde in his arms, Lee nodded in satisfaction, leaned into her ear, whispered sweet nothings, and silently untied the belt of her bathrobe.

With only Ivanka left at home, she lost her shyness, bit Lee’s shoulder, and quickly adjusted her position, twisting her body to straddle him.

Holding her waist, which had become even thinner, and feeling the undulating rhythm, Lee chuckled and praised her again:

“You are the perfect gift God gave me.”

On thursday, January 12, TNT’s program in the afternoon began to warm up for tonight’s national broadcast.

The Cavaliers’ record this new season was excellent, 22 wins and 9 losses.

Van Gundy demonstrated his ability as a Champion Coach, securing the Cavaliers’ position in the upper half of the standings.

With the new rules in place, LeBron James’ stats also exploded.

In the All-Star voting in Houston, James was far ahead in the forward position.

After gaining muscle, James’ breakthroughs shone brightly, and exaggerated tomahawk dunks were often seen in the top ten plays.

With the aid of technology, Howard’s physique also became much thicker.

Although his offense was rough, his rebounding ability showed significant improvement.

Damon Jones and Donyell Marshall, whom the Cavaliers acquired in the offseason, also performed well.

Although their shooting was inconsistent in some games, they showed positive performance over a large sample size.

Unfortunately, the steal leader, Larry Hughes, was sidelined.

He fractured a finger in his right hand earlier in the month and is expected to miss 6-8 weeks of games.

The recent blatant praise from rival media and New York Media made Charles Barkley uncomfortable.

Without realizing it, everyone had become a Clay Lee praiser, and no one was telling the truth anymore.

The three chatted about the New York Knicks’ game last week in the studio. Kenny Smith showed an expression of admiration, praising them again:

“Now I don’t think 91 million in salary is high. The New York Knicks’ roster depth is terrifying.”

“Someone steps up in every game. Prince was in excellent form in December, and Finley also had efficient performances in limited time.”

“As for Fisher, perhaps he has some issues on the Defense end, but his three-point shooting also greatly helped the New York Knicks.”

“The New York Knicks are pushing for a four-peat. It seems no one can stop them!”

Ernie Johnson also nodded in agreement.

The league-leading record was enough to illustrate the New York Knicks’ form:

“Clay Lee’s leadership was indeed underestimated. We rarely hear complaints from the locker room.”

“Even Amare Stoudemire, who has already left, thanked Lee after joining the Phoenix Suns, just as Houston said, everyone likes Lee.”

Hearing his two co-hosts wanting to continue praising, Charles Barkley turned and interrupted:

“Lee’s passion for basketball has declined, and I don’t know why everyone avoids talking about it.”

“I can understand that he has become a father of two children and needs to focus on his family, but look at Kobe. He is also about to welcome his second child.”

“Kobe gives his all in every game. He shows us his desire for victory, which is what fans want to see!”

On the scoring list, Kobe was far ahead, which earned him praise from many basketball critics. Kobe’s image as a lone hero gradually became deeply ingrained in people’s hearts.

At some point, his co-hosts stopped calling Kobe a team cancer.

Kenny Smith was not good at being a fence-sitter and simply retorted:

“Chuck, do I need to remind you of the Los Angeles Lakers’ record?”

“In last night’s game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 41 points, but they still lost. With 18 wins and 17 losses, the Los Angeles Lakers need to work hard for the playoffs.”

“Kobe took 29 shots. Lee wouldn’t play like that. In my opinion, the gap in their understanding of basketball is even greater.”

Although the Lakers lost, Kobe Bryant played 44 minutes, shooting 13 of 29 from the field, 3 of 13 from beyond the arc, and 12 of 13 from the free-throw line, finishing with 43 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, and 2 turnovers.

Charles Barkley automatically ignored Kobe’s 5-of-14 performance in the second half and retorted,

“43 points can’t win the game, which shows Kobe lacks help. He isn’t as lucky as Clay Lee.”

Seeing the two straying further and further off topic, seemingly forgetting they were supposed to discuss the New York Knicks and Cavaliers game, Ernie Johnson helplessly interrupted,

“Alright, Chuck, the Lakers were a championship contender before. Kobe should perhaps reflect on why the team has become this way.”

“Being able to keep your team competitive is also a skill. Kobe should be the one reflecting. Compared to Lee, he lacks leadership.”

“We should talk about the Cavaliers. They have a chance to contend for the championship this year!”

Unable to refute his partner’s words, Charles Barkley was somewhat frustrated.

With more and more people flattering, he had no chance to speak his mind.

Jealousy distorts one’s appearance.

Barkley, who had no championship in his career, actually wanted to see Lee suffer misfortune more.

Hearing his two partners start boasting about Van Gundy’s coaching ability again, Charles Barkley didn’t want to speak and could only grumble inwardly,

“Don’t keep winning!”

With a record of 29 wins and 2 losses, the New York Knicks are currently far ahead.

At 7 PM that night, at the Quicken Loans Arena, after the game began, Cavaliers fans were particularly invested, hoping to see their home team end the opponent’s winning streak.

With the Steals King injured, the starting backcourt tonight became Eric Snow and Damon Jones, while the frontcourt remained Howard and Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

After the tip-off, they scored 6 points from two jump shots by Zydrunas Ilgauskas and free throws by James, but the fans were only happy for a little over a minute before realizing the team had fallen into a scoring drought.

Howard grabbed an offensive rebound, but his put-back layup was interfered with by Kurt Thomas, leading to another chant of defensive encouragement:

“Defense!”

On the sidelines, Van Gundy kept waving and loudly reminding his players to get back on Defense.

Lee pushed the ball up quickly after receiving it.

Eric Snow was an old opponent, merely delaying with a slide step.

On the defensive end, the Cavaliers still stuck to a 3-2 zone Defense, with the two big men sunk to the baseline, intentionally giving up long two-pointers, and ready to double-team on the perimeter at any time.

With this defensive system, the Cavaliers had defeated many teams, with the Miami Heat being one of the victims.

Thibodeau’s defensive system was more refined.

When Lee, holding the ball in his left hand, approached the top of the arc, LeBron James immediately launched from the left wing.

Eric Snow cooperated with his teammate, attempting to complete a double-team.

Just as the two were about to converge, Lee suddenly spun around, switched to his right hand, and tried to break through the middle.

Stopping his steps, LeBron James tried to go under and block Lee’s driving lane in advance.

Eric Snow also adjusted his center of gravity, reaching down to poke the ball and disrupt the dribbling rhythm.

The moment he completed the spin, Lee, with the ball in his right hand, quickly dribbled behind his back, stopped short, switched hands, turned his body, and smoothly completed a cross-court pass.

LeBron James tried to steal the ball, but it passed through his fingertips and flew accurately into the hands of an unguarded Ron Artest on the left wing.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas under the basket couldn’t close out in time and could only watch Ron Artest take an open jump shot.

“Boo!”

The ball swished through the net, and boos immediately echoed through the Quicken Loans Arena.

13:6, seizing the opportunity, the New York Knicks continued to extend their lead.

At the TNT broadcast table, watching Ron Artest pound his chest and quickly retreat on Defense, Kevin Harlan once again commented on the Cavaliers’ Defense:

“The double-team on the perimeter didn’t have much effect. The New York Knicks’ wing shooters are shooting exceptionally well tonight.”

Doug Collins, next to him, didn’t comment much on the Defense.

While the Cavaliers were on offense, he talked about their scoring drought:

“Someone has to step up and score. The current deficit is already very dangerous. We all know the New York Knicks usually make their push in the first quarter.”

“If they fall behind by double digits quickly, I don’t have high hopes for the Cavaliers’ ability to catch up.”

Eric Snow received the ball on the baseline and was not met with an immediate on-ball defender.

Tonight, the New York Knicks were simply playing man-to-man Defense, with Clay Lee watching the action and Ron Artest primarily guarding James.

Ron Artest readily accepted his defensive assignment.

The easiest way to attract attention was to step over someone and rise.

Receiving the ball on the left wing, James immediately called Zydrunas Ilgauskas up for a screen.

Facing Ron Artest’s tight Defense, James was still a bit uncomfortable.

With his teammate set, he quickly dribbled behind his back, switched to his left hand, and tried to drop his shoulder and accelerate.

Successfully squeezing through the screen, Ron Artest applied body contact in pursuit.

While Ron Artest interfered, Gasol also controlled his defensive position, continuously sinking back.

Facing the impending double-team, James dribbled to the left block area against the Defense and immediately gathered the ball and spun.

Still unable to shake off the Defense, James ultimately shot an airball with a floater over Ron Artest’s block directly in front of the rim.

As the ball bounced off the rim, Gasol, who had retreated to the basket, grabbed the rebound and passed the ball forcefully.

Lee at the top of the arc received the ball again.

Amidst the defensive cheers, James worked hard to retreat on Defense, and with a loud reminder, Zydrunas Ilgauskas also quickened his pace, following Gasol across half-court.

After the Cavaliers players returned to half-court, they immediately completed their defensive matchups.

Gasol, trailing behind, came to the right wing and directly set a high screen to Lee’s left.

In transition, the defensive formation was forced into man-to-man.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas had no choice but to stop at the three-point line, watching Lee’s movements.

With his teammate set, Lee smoothly dribbled the ball behind his back, and the ball quickly flew to his left front.

Eric Snow immediately squeezed to Gasol’s side.

Without waiting for his opponent to squeeze through the screen, Lee moved agilely, instantly caught up to the ball, stopped abruptly the moment his left hand touched the ball, and then performed a large turn using his right foot as the pivot.

Eric Snow, still squeezing through the screen, could only watch the ball being thrown to Lee’s left side.

Before he could adjust his center of gravity, Lee had already shaken off the Defense.

The flashy dribble drew gasps from the fans.

Zydrunas Ilgauskas, standing on the three-point line, stared blankly.

Facing Lee, who was leaning in to accelerate, he instinctively slid backward.

As his opponent moved, Lee, who had just stepped, immediately stopped short, pulled back his right foot, returned behind the three-point line, gathered the ball, and easily took a jump shot!

From the spin to the fake drive, gather, and shoot, the motion was too quick.

As the ball flew into the air, Eric Snow only managed to close out from the side, and ultimately, he and his teammates could only watch the ball swish through the net.

“Boo!”

The spectacular shot reduced the boos by more than half.

Anyone could see that the home team’s Defense wasn’t having much effect.

16:6, the lead reached double digits.

Van Gundy did not call a timeout but continued to clap and encourage his team.

In a crucial possession, Eric Snow once again passed the ball early.

Receiving it on the left wing, James switched to his right hand in advance.

As Howard set a screen on the left wing, James immediately moved horizontally and accelerated.

The solid screen worked.

Unable to squeeze through in time, Ron Artest lost his defensive position.

James, charging forward, drove hard to the basket through the middle, powering past Kurt Thomas.

In the paint directly in front of the rim, James stopped short, took a hop step, and absorbed contact.

He bumped off the defender in the air and, facing Gasol’s block under the basket, managed to toughly toss the ball off the backboard.

“Oh!”

The ball bounced erratically and fell into the basket.

The referee blew his whistle, and the Quicken Loans Arena instantly erupted.

Taking a deep breath, James pounded his chest and turned to high-five Howard in celebration.

The big boy showed an excited expression and yelled,

“That was great, Bro! It’s our turn to fight back!”

Lee, watching from the wing, gestured to Ron Artest to go under the screen.

The latter glanced at James standing at the free-throw line, pouted, and immediately nodded.

For Ron Artest, squeezing through screens and playing tough Defense showed off his skill more.

James made the free throw, and the Cavaliers fans in attendance immediately became energized, with the defensive cheers growing louder.

On the New York Knicks’ offense, as the red-hot Ron Artest ran to the left corner, James followed him closely, while also reminding his teammates to change their defensive strategy.

When Kurt Thomas came from the left near-baseline position to the perimeter for a screen, Howard, who was following, switched directly on the fake screen.

Noticing that Eric Snow hadn’t followed to double-team, Lee, holding the ball in his left hand, first leaned in to accelerate.

As his opponent slid backward to the right, he immediately performed a hard dribble stop.

Facing Lee, who dribbled behind his back and returned beyond the three-point line, Howard quickly closed out.

Intentionally giving up his left hand, Howard wanted to drive Lee to the basket.

Amidst the fans’ jeers, the Rookie even loudly provoked:

“Come on!”

Clay Lee, holding the ball in his right hand, saw his opponent defending aggressively on the three-point line.

After a crossover, he sharply lowered his center of gravity, and his body swayed forward to the left.

As Howard just shifted backward, Lee instantly completed a front-of-the-body crossover, switching to his right hand while leaning forward and continuing to fake a drive.

With his defensive front foot attacked, Howard quickly adjusted his center of gravity.

As his feet just moved, Lee smoothly executed a cross-step retreat and a quick step-back.

Howard, rooted to the spot, had no time to jump and block, only able to watch Lee shoot from beyond the three-point line.

“Swish!” The long-range three-pointer swished through the net.

19:9, the difference remained in double digits.

Lee smiled, shrugged, and retreated on Defense, eliciting a chorus of boos from the Cavaliers fans in the arena.

From the commentary booth, Doug Collins once again lamented:

“Having the big man switch is definitely the wrong defensive strategy!”

Perhaps due to the nationwide broadcast, James displayed extreme aggressiveness tonight, attempting to shoulder the responsibility of a response shot.

On the offensive possession, facing Ron Artest’s baseline Defense, he came to the left restricted area with the ball in his left hand after a pick-and-roll, was forced to slow down, and immediately stopped short for a post-up.

Switching to his right hand, James actively exerted force, continuously bumping Ron Artest, but failed to squeeze into an ideal position.

He decisively turned towards the baseline and his fadeaway jumper clanked off the rim.

Kurt Thomas snatched the defensive rebound in front of Howard, and the Cavaliers players did not make any unnecessary scrambles, all of them focusing on retreating on Defense.

When Lee advanced up the middle with the ball in his right hand to the top of the arc, he executed a wide behind-the-back dribble against Snow’s tight Defense and delay.

Lee deftly slid to the left, forcing his opponent to move with him.

Just as Snow’s Defense was in position, the basketball disappeared from in front of him again.

The moment he touched the ball with his left hand, Lee smoothly changed direction with a body fake, shook off the Defense, stopped short, gathered the ball, and quickly shot a jumper from beyond the three-point line!

Lee twisted his body, rewarding himself with a tough three-pointer, and Kevin Harlan in the commentary booth also shouted:

“Clay Lee! Another three! OH–! He got it!”

The basketball swished through the net, and Snow, standing nearby, shook his head to his teammates in frustration.

He had tried his best.

Van Gundy helplessly called a timeout.

On the Cavaliers bench, Thibodeau also showed a wry smile.

The offense was illogical, but the shot still went in.

22:9, Clay Lee’s consecutive 9 points made the Quicken Loans Arena noisy.

This was not the game everyone expected.

On the New York Knicks bench, everyone was beaming with joy.

Mike D’Antoni, who had been ‘AFK’, finally stood up and went over to high-five Lee in celebration.

The Moustache was a bit smug.

Although the Cavaliers’ Defense had received unanimous praise from commentators, it was useless against a strong player like Lee:

“Keep shooting! They will double-team Lee, and the corner will also be our opportunity. Don’t worry about their counterattacks!”

D’Antoni casually drew a couple of lines on the clipboard, signaling Raja Bell to move to the corner, and then gave a brief pep talk.

Before they went back on the court, he patted Lee’s shoulder again:

“Lee, control the game tempo yourself!”

Lee had long been accustomed to his Head Coach’s ‘AFK’ behavior.

He nodded in agreement, noticed that the Cavaliers had substituted Drew Gooden for Zydrunas Ilgauskas, and immediately reminded his teammates to continue man-to-man coverage.

After the timeout, James once again took on the offensive burden.

Unable to shake off Ron Artest’s harassment, his pull-up jumper from the right elbow after a pick-and-roll clanked off the rim again.

On the defensive end, the Cavaliers decisively double-teamed high.

Raja Bell, who was well-prepared, received the pass near the right sideline, and his open three-pointer swished through the net again.

Damon Jones looked at his Head Coach, and Van Gundy signaled to continue the double-team.

In the subsequent game, Clay Lee always managed to find open spaces, while LeBron James frequently clanked his jumpers off the rim.

It wasn’t until the latter half of the first quarter, when the New York Knicks missed a three-pointer, that James finally made a field goal again by seizing a fast break opportunity.

James, full of desire to perform, shot worse and worse, and while taking on the offensive task, he seemed to have forgotten how to pass.

Ron Artest, who was getting more and more excited on Defense, displayed his DPOY defensive skills: fighting through screens, blocking baselines, chasing down and interfering, and constantly harassing on catch-and-shoot attempts.

By driving offense through Defense, Ron Artest even showed off his stiff dribbling skills, taking advantage of the opponent’s double-team on Lee.

Ron Artest drove past the retreating James from the left wing, squeezed into the paint, and slowly scored a reverse layup.

“Boo!”

The boos in the Quicken Loans Arena were relentless.

Ron Artest’s smug smile irritated the Cavaliers fans.

The The Chosen One had been stopped.

Howard was quickly substituted out as well.

After Donyell Marshall came on, the New York Knicks also put in Diaw, and Gasol also began receiving the ball in the low post.

Drew Gooden’s jumpers and free throws helped the Cavaliers score, and Gasol responded easily in the paint.

Lee only needed to stand on the wing, and Snow could only follow him, watching the New York Knicks complete their low-post offense.

The lead continued to widen.

LeBron James received the ball on the left wing, and facing Ron Artest’s Defense, he suddenly launched a cold arrow, but his three-pointer also clanked off the rim.

Diaw, who secured the long rebound, pushed the ball up the middle.

Clay Lee continuously accelerated along the left sideline, crossed the half-court line, and immediately turned sideways, waiting to receive the pass.

Establishing his defensive position early, Snow stood on the three-point line.

Diaw, who had dribbled past half-court, passed the ball early.

Still two steps away from the three-point line, Lee, who received the ball sideways, stopped his feet, made no adjustments, and just shot the ball!

“Oh!”

A gasp of surprise once again echoed in the Quicken Loans Arena.

Clay Lee twisted his body and retreated on Defense after releasing the shot, and Diaw, near half-court, also raised both arms early to celebrate.

“Swish!” The three-pointer swished through the net, and the arena suddenly fell silent.

On the Cavaliers bench, Howard also widened his eyes.

Before the game, the coaching staff had given a long list of precautions, but they were already broken by the opponent’s three-pointers at the start.

Fortunately, Clay Lee’s self-indulgent three-pointers missed in the last few possessions, and LeBron James completed a 2+1 on a fast break, which narrowed the gap.

At the very end of the first quarter, James rushed to the frontcourt and missed a super long three-pointer, and the New York Knicks bench erupted in cheers.

37:21, trailing by 16 points from the start, the Cavaliers fans in the arena suddenly lost their enthusiasm.

Lee, walking towards the bench, frowned slightly, not entirely satisfied with his last few offensive possessions.

When he returned to his seat, David Lee had once again become a sycophant, praising loudly:

“Incredible! The MVP should belong to Lee!”

Fisher, who was tidying his jersey, quietly glared at the Rookie.

This should have been his line!

The New York Knicks’ atmosphere group was in high spirits.

With a nationwide broadcast and a significant lead, everyone could get some screen time, so they had to make a strong showing at this moment.

On the other side, Jeff Van Gundy sat in front of everyone, holding his clipboard and continuing to loudly encourage James:

“We are already down by double digits. Forget the score and show your talent to the fans across the country!”

“LeBron, you know what to do, keep shooting!”

Playing the entire first quarter, 3-for-11 shooting, 0-for-2 from three-point range, 4-for-4 from the free-throw line, 10 points, 1 rebound.

James had taken on the responsibility of a leader.

With a determined expression on his face, James, wearing a white headband, responded.

This was his game.

5-for-8 shooting, 4-for-6 from three-point range, 2-for-2 from the free-throw line, 16 points, 1 rebound, 5 assists.

Clay Lee, who also played the entire first quarter, was now ready to rest.

In the second quarter, James also didn’t rest.

Facing the New York Knicks’ bench lineup, he finally found his shooting touch.

Both sides went back and forth, and the game was lively, but the lead gradually widened.

Donyell Marshall continuously missed three-pointers, while Diaw, with inside drives and outside shots, scored continuously along with Prince.

With 4 minutes and 56 seconds left in the half, Lee returned to the game, capitalizing on the Cavaliers’ turnovers and easily scoring on fast breaks.

The lead grew wider and wider, and the synchronized cheers in the Quicken Loans Arena also disappeared.

67:44, the huge point difference made the game enter garbage time prematurely.

On the morning of November 13, when ESPN reviewed last night’s New York Knicks and Cavaliers game, commentators praised LeBron James’s performance.

43 minutes played, 13-for-31 shooting, 0-for-7 from three-point range, 8-for-11 from the free-throw line, 34 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 1 turnover.

Although his efficiency was not high, James once again demonstrated his all-around attributes!

125:90, the New York Knicks won by a large margin against their opponent.

They had already flown to Dallas and continued their back-to-back game.

Perhaps dissatisfied with his stats, James did not accept interviews after the game, silently putting in extra practice.

The Cleveland sports media took notice and praised the The Chosen One:

“This is a true leader!”

After extensive rotation and losing to the Dallas Mavericks in a back-to-back game, the New York Knicks finished the week with a 2-1 record.

When asked about James’s performance at the post-game press conference, Lee initiated a mode of mutual commercial praise:

“I see leadership qualities in LeBron. Without a doubt, he is the future of Cleveland!”

“…”

…

By the way, don’t forget to throw power stones and leave a review to motivate me 🙂
