Just as Lenny Wilkens thought, Kevin Garnett could not inspire the team for a third ti in the sa way.
When the Knicks once again fell into a crisis of self-doubt, it seed they were truly driven to a dead end.
This ti, KG couldn’t even smash a chair; even if he smashed the whole of New York, it wouldn’t give everyone a boost anymore.
Even the best chicken soup becos greasy when consud too often.
KG himself knew that his chicken soup was no longer nutritious, so after losing Ga 5, he said nothing at all.
The young players of the Knicks could now only rely on themselves.
anwhile, another young person driven to the end of his rope was LeBron Jas.
The latest news claid that the Cleveland Cavaliers were no longer close to acquiring Andrei Kirilenko, which was a bolt from the blue for the Little Emperor, and all of Rich Paul’s predictions were coming true.
He had told LeBron Jas that Cleveland couldn’t attract star players and that the Cavaliers’ reinforcent plans were impossible to succeed.
LeBron did not believe it, because the new owner, Daniel Gilbert, seed like a smart person and was also willing to take action. In just one year, he had already invested tens of millions of US Dollars extra into the team.
Even though LeBron Jas only wanted to renew with a 1 1 contract, Daniel Gilbert chose to agree a few days ago.
Regarding AK47, his rumored association with the Cavaliers was deliberately spread by both parties’ teams since mid-season, and it seed certain that the Emperor holding the AK was a done deal.
But as the offseason truly arrived and other teams began to engage with the versatile Russian forward, everything changed.
Andrei Kirilenko was rumored with almost every team that had cap space, completely treating Cleveland as the last choice.
No wonder his wife allowed him to cheat once a year, because he truly did not refuse anybody.
Even worse, the team currently closest to AK47 was the Denver Nuggets — Carlo Anthony had led the team into the playoffs for two consecutive years, and the dia was already voicing "perhaps Carlo is more worth anticipating than LeBron." If the Nuggets acquired Andrei Kirilenko, if Carlo Anthony achieved better records next season, such voices would no longer be suppressible.
Carlo Anthony and the Little Emperor’s competition began in high school, as they were the hottest two talented high school players then, the first to have high school gas broadcast nationwide on television since Roger. However, upon entering the NBA, their situations differed significantly, with Nike pinning their hopes for revival on the more promising Little Emperor, never investing too many resources in promoting Carlo Anthony.
After all, Carlo Anthony’s background wasn’t clean, and he wasn’t perfect in front of the dia, making him unsuitable to be crafted as a national idol.
But now, the Little Emperor, who captured all the resources, faced the embarrassing situation of possibly falling behind in the sa-door competition.
If a Chosen One couldn’t even surpass his sa-class Carlo Anthony, it would beco the greatest joke in NBA history.
Therefore, Andrei Kirilenko’s destination pulled at the Little Emperor’s heartstrings.
The current outco also left him deeply struck.
Do I really have no attraction at all? If Andrei Kirilenko chose to flirt with a big city team, LBJ’s heart would feel a little better.
But the Russian preferred to go to cold high-altitude Denver rather than co to Cleveland, which hurt the Little Emperor, feeling like seeing his girlfriend cheat with a short and shabby Indian man, thoroughly humiliated.
If Andrei Kirilenko does not appear in the Cavaliers’ lineup next season, LeBron Jas would be very lost.
The night of Ga 6 of the Finals began, with LBJ gathering with several core circle mbers to watch the ga.
Before the ga started, Rich Paul once again spoke about the AK47 recruitnt: "I told you long ago, Daniel only wants to make money from you and never thought about making Cleveland great. If they put all their effort into recruiting, the Russian would never choose Denver."
"The matter isn’t settled yet, buddy."
"It’s co to this point, and you’re still planning to deceive yourself? Admit it; transfer, hype, customization, repeat these steps, and we can establish our kingdom in this era. Loyalty and one person, one city belong to the last era, you see, Karl Malone only understood this at 41 years old, going to Los Angeles, but unfortunately, it was too late."
LeBron Jas did not answer, rely staring at the TV.
Maybe even he himself didn’t notice that he always habitually used avoidance to solve problems, always.
Ga 6, Madison Square Garden, New York fans like prisoners sent to the gallows.
They struggled internally, on one hand, the Knicks still had a chance to win.
But on the other side, the probability of them being killed tonight was also high.
Yao Ming, KG, and Wade were silent on the court, lacking the excitent of Finals Ga 1.
All defensive strategies had failed on Roger, whether he could finish the ga depended solely on his personal condition.
Personal condition, this was today’s biggest suspense.
After the last ga ended, Roger showed an unprecedented fatigue over his 12-years professional career.
His ribs were already broken, and his fingers had been suffering since the last round.
No one knew how long he could hold on; maybe at so unpredictable mont, Roger would completely collapse.
