Upon hearing this, LeBron Jas’s eyes also filled with more fighting spirit.
However, on the first day of February, LeBron Jas received so bad news...
The League awarded the "Eastern Conference Player of the Month" for January, and the award ultimately went to Su Wan.
The Miami dia defended LeBron, their angle quite peculiar:
"New York Knicks are the defending champions, whatever Su Wan achieves is expected because that’s how champions perform. Heat Team lost in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year. LeBron’s performance in January is the true deserving candidate for Player of the Month!"
The New York dia imdiately fought back, "If that’s the case, then Miami, as last season’s top team in the League, should also perform as expected in this regular season!"
"And..."
"LeBron’s performance is due to Chris Bosh’s sacrifice!"
"If the Heat Team were to pick a Player of the Month for January, then that person should be Chris Bosh, not LeBron Jas!"
Throughout January, Chris Bosh only averaged 17.6 points and 7.4 rebounds, his performance significantly worse compared to last season...
Normally, the dia would say Chris Bosh was in bad form this season or hadn’t found his place in the team. But after the first ga of the new season ended, Su Wan’s harsh words about LeBron still resonate with many fans who could recite the whole text. Therefore, when they saw Chris Bosh performing poorly, their first reaction was...
"Wow, Su Wan was right!"
"LeBron perford well, but it cost Chris Bosh a sacrifice for the Heat Team!"
Such opinions were not only prevalent in New York but also spread widely all over the United States.
It even beca the best response when LeBron flaunted his success.
No matter how the Miami dia hyped LeBron, the comnts would definitely include:
"Feeling proud? Isn’t it all because Chris Bosh sacrificed himself?"
"Miami, have you forgotten Chris Bosh?"
"Chris is really unlucky to have a teammate like LeBron."
"But no worries, Chris, you can still go to New York to join Su Wan, and he will prove that Miami’s decision to let you go was wrong!"
...
Even LeBron’s tweet celebrating his first ti being an Eastern All-Star starter was t with similar responses:
"LeBron, shouldn’t you have given that starting spot to Chris Bosh?"
"Okay, Su Wan was right again, Chris Bosh lost his All-Star spot."
"You took his All-Star starter spot before celebrating, even though Chris Bosh was an All-Star starter before you."
Even worse, Chris Bosh not only lost his All-Star starting forward position but didn’t even make it to the All-Star reserve list.
The competition for the forward position in the Eastern Conference was too fierce...
Apart from the starters LeBron and Zach Randolph, there were also Kevin Garnett, Boris Dior, Paul Pierce, and Andre Iguodala, Ruhl... all striving for the spot.
Chris Bosh’s ability might not be inferior to them, but his stats this season didn’t give him an edge over these players.
And public opinion had already ford:
Chris Bosh sacrificed his season to make way for LeBron.
This easily led the voting coaches to think that Chris Bosh wasn’t performing well this season.
This, in turn, increased the dia and fans who cried foul for Chris Bosh.
LeBron tried to find Chris Bosh, hoping he would publicly congratulate him on becoming an All-Star starter, to perhaps quiet so of the criticism.
But Chris Bosh didn’t entertain the idea.
Having struggled throughout the season and now losing the All-Star, his endorsents likely weren’t coming either.
Reputation, money, and even his position in the team had declined drastically, and LeBron still expected him to smile and congratulate him.
I can keep from crying, holding back complaints is already tough!
What bullshit is this!
Seeing Bosh refuse, LeBron could only sneer inwardly:
Such a selfish guy!
Can’t even help with such a small thing...
Fortunately, this season he didn’t have to "suck up" to such a selfish person.
In his view, Chris Bosh deserved the sidelines.
Then February 2nd arrived.
The first "showdown day" of the season between the New York Knicks and Heat Team.
Su Wan answered the dia’s questions before the ga.
A reporter asked him to comnt on LeBron’s career-first as an Eastern All-Star starter.
Su Wan asked him to rephrase the question.
The reporter was stunned for a mont, and Erin imdiately said, "Su, between LeBron and Chris, who do you think deserves the All-Star starter more?"
Without hesitation, Su Wan said, "Chris!"
The reporter seed to suddenly understand:
I’ve learned sothing!
anwhile, LeBron, being interviewed on the other side, learned about this and his eyes filled with spite, this damn guy. But when asked by reporters how he viewed Su Wan’s opinion, he tried to show indifference:
"He’s entitled to his opinion, but in the 2.34 million votes that chose , his wasn’t included!"
