What should you do if your teammate is a double-dealer?
Waiting online, quite urgent!
LeBron discovered this, and afterward, his interactions with Howard beca sowhat uneasy.
Whenever he now looked at Howard, he couldn’t shake the feeling that there’s a shadow of Diddy behind him.
This made him act a bit strange.
He was sowhat resistant to any physical contact with Howard...
Howard noticed this and assud LeBron was avoiding him because of the sll of his fart. So he mischievously tried to hug LeBron as a "forced show of affection."
LeBron resisted even more: "Hey hey hey!"
Howard saw that LeBron seed angry, and finally stopped his antics, explaining to LeBron: "Buddy, I was just joking with you!"
Yet he felt a bit confused.
It was just a joke, why was LeBron’s reaction so intense?
He couldn’t figure it out!
LeBron kept his distance, regained so composure, and chatted about their cooperation on the training ground: "How was it, buddy? Was my passing okay just now?"
"It was fantastic!"
Howard, speaking, once more attempted to embrace LeBron.
Seeing LeBron’s significant reaction and retreat, he awkwardly lowered his hand but continued his praise:
"Buddy, you’re really amazing! In my view, you’re more like a pure point guard than Jamal; you’re the Magic of our ti!"
LeBron was quite satisfied hearing this and asked another question: "How did it feel today when running the pick-and-roll with ?"
Howard ticulously recalled that after each pick-and-roll, as long as he rolled, the ball would definitely get into his hands, allowing him to finish the play.
Whenever his whole body was in motion, his athletic talent would manifest to its fullest, making his impact on the basket much stronger than when battling under the rim.
That’s when Howard realized...
He wasn’t against the pick-and-roll; he was against finishing, without getting the ball afterward.
If he could finish the play, Howard was quite willing to set picks.
LeBron watched his deanor and nodded along, but inside he smirked:
Hmph!
Didn’t you fall right into my trap!
As long as Howard agreed to run pick-and-rolls, for LeBron, he completely controlled the initiative.
Now he could keep passing to Howard.
So in the end, he could choose not to pass to Howard!
That’s why he dared to relinquish finishing rights early on.
As long as the ball remained in his hands, deciding who took the shot beca his choice, right?
He felt he had mastered the situation.
In the following days, he kept passing to Howard, ensuring he had plenty of shots, making "Magic" extrely happy.
In face of dia interviews, he consistently praised LeBron: "He’s the greatest teammate I’ve seen, or rather, now I finally have teammates. Before, during my ti on the Magic Team, I was single-handedly carrying the team; they couldn’t play basketball! That Magic Team only achieved those results because of !"
The dia was dumbfounded.
Howard’s departure from the Magic Team wasn’t graceful.
Essentially, he coerced the managent, jumping on their "no-go zone," and finally left Orlando.
But these journalists didn’t expect Howard to rib his forr teammates so much.
His statent quickly sparked enormous discussion online.
Su Wan was also asked by journalists about Howard’s comnts.
Su Wan wasn’t surprised by Howard’s words.
Because he similarly expressed such sentints during this period.
Except originally, he said them while with the Lakers.
Then he refused Kobe’s request to crash for dreaded rebounds and run dreadful pick-and-rolls with periter players.
This phase, Howard had high aspirations.
He considered himself one of the League’s best players, demanding absolute core rights.
Even with 5 championships and 2 finals MVPs, Kobe didn’t matter to him, let alone his magic teammates.
Su Wan rated him: "No champions ever say such things, so I understand Dwight, because he’s never been in a championship, nor won one!"
Faced with Su Wan’s words, Howard was imdiately displeased and responded right away: "Everyone has their ti without championships; so have won them in the past, and I will win them in the future!"
LeBron also jumped in to help refute Su Wan: "Success doesn’t depend on timing, this season we’ll prove those who doubted us wrong. We didn’t win championships in the past simply because we hadn’t found the right partners. Now we’ve found them, and I believe we won’t lose anymore!"
Shaquille O’Neal happened to mock: "The arrogance is the sa, back when I didn’t win a championship, I also blad my teammates. But once I won it, I realized I bore a large part of the responsibility. If I could play more dominantly, my team wouldn’t lose!"
"If soone keeps losing, especially if their teammates change repeatedly yet still never win a championship, then maybe they should consider if they rely bear the reputation of a Super Star but lack the skills of a Superstar Player!"
