The experiences of the last two gas were enough to frustrate any 19-year-old for an entire sumr.
Of course, typically, it’s normal for a rookie to lose to two superstars. Even if the superstar is 41, they’re not that easy to defeat.
The problem lies with Nike, which has been using top-tier resources and shaless promotion to hype LeBron Jas, even more than Penny was back in the day.
This unrelenting promotion has exorbitantly raised fans’ expectations of Jas, giving him far more attention than all other rookies.
Accordingly, he has to bear risks that other rookies don’t have.
Now, he has to face the risk of "the hype not matching the reality."
"LeBron, is the Cavaliers’ playoff window still open?"
The journalist finally asked this brutal question, which LeBron Jas must face.
Jas didn’t want to speak too confidently, didn’t want to say he could 100% beat the Pistons. But just the other day, he had boldly announced he would surpass Michael Jordan and Roger, and now if he couldn’t even make it to the playoffs, it would make him look foolish.
"Of course, it’s still open. It’s unfortunate we lost tonight’s ga, but we still have a chance." Jas vaguely tried to brush it off.
But the reporters wouldn’t let him escape.
"Are you saying, you have confidence to beat the defending champion Detroit Pistons in the next ga?"
The journalists wouldn’t care if they were facing a 19-year-old kid; they would only throw one sharp question after another.
Silence, this was the most awkward silence LeBron Jas had ever experienced in his life.
He had no confidence to answer this question.
The Pistons’ season record would no longer change regardless of the result of the last ga, which was the only good news for LeBron Jas.
But he still had no confidence.
At the press conference, he bit his fingernails and stamred: "I... have confidence."
This was an interview scene enough to disappoint all of Cleveland fans, whose Chosen One’s aggressiveness lasted only one ga, seemingly dissipating again due to a loss.
Charles Barkley, unsurprisingly, fired at Jas on the show: "Oh God, look at him, look at his dodgy gaze and nervous deanor at the press conference, and compare it to Michael and Roger before, I can’t believe this is the most hyped super talent in the past few years. Admit it, LeBron has no chance of being a superstar, the Cavaliers’ season is dood!"
ESPN writer Bill Simmons even called him "the only person making both Michael and blind at the sa ti."
Roger, who had finished training, was also asked about it by reporters. Of course, he wouldn’t tell the reporters that yesterday he went with Garnett to a billiard club not to play billiards or hire a private trainer, but to sit in a booth watching basketball gas all night.
Roger only feigned surprise: "I didn’t watch last night’s ga at all, I don’t know how the Cavaliers lost, I can’t imagine how they could lose to a team of old n. But this result shows that LeBron is the most incapable among all those trying to challenge ."
Roger rcilessly taunted Cleveland’s number 23, which reminded Jas of what Jordan had once said: "He’s my curse, and yours too."
The curse seems to have completely shrouded over his head.
It’s not just the dia’s criticism and Roger’s taunts that are troubleso, but also Ron Artest’s response.
"The kid first said he was going to take down Michael, then said he was going to take down Roger. Now, he says he’s going to take down the defending champion? Does he even listen to what he’s saying? He can co and try, I’ll cure that kid’s delusions!"
Roger looked at the various news in the dia, truly thinking Jas was quite miserable.
But as an Old Zhan fan, Roger absolutely supported him ntally.
It’s just a small Ron Artest, it shouldn’t be too difficult for our Emperor to smash his face, right? Go for it!
In reality, Nike’s marketing was successful after all. On the last day of the regular season, LeBron Jas beca the focal point of the entire league.
His attention rivaled that of a superstar, even the confird playoff participants Dwyane Wade and Carlo Anthony, combined, were not as sensational as Jas.
However, this sensationalism was a bit off course, as fans across Arica tuned into the Cavaliers VS Pistons ga with a mindset of watching a joke.
They wanted to see how Nike and Jas ended up stepping on their own foot.
As soon as Jas entered the Palace of Auburn Hills arena, he was t with intense boos from Pistons fans.
Although Jas mumbled at the press conference, he still said it, he said he could beat the Detroit Pistons.
No fans of any defending champion team or their players could tolerate a rookie’s provocation, even if it was a trembling provocation.
On the battlefield, whether or not you have the guts to raise your gun, as long as you’re holding a gun, the enemy will consider you a threat and shoot to kill.
Once Ron Artest got on the court, he couldn’t wait to "take down" LeBron Jas, heading straight for the warming-up Jas, pressing his forehead against Jas’ head, and poking his chest with his finger: "Kid, I don’t like your tone when speaking to the defending champions. Hasn’t anyone taught you? You should have the basic respect for champions!"
