Kevin Garnett himself was deeply affected. Before reaching the bench, he just slumped to the ground and kept banging his head against the bench in front of him.
Erin recorded the scene.
Howard’s smile also turned serious. He initially thought tonight would be his revenge battle, but... if his mory isn’t failing, then this was the worst loss he’s had against Su Wan.
He really didn’t expect this outco.
As for LeBron...
The reporter asked him again: "Why did you keep trying to break through against the New York Knicks’ wall-like defense, instead of choosing other offensive thods?"
LeBron broke: "Co on, do the New York Knicks have a player called Wall? Why do you keep emphasizing wall, wall, what’s with the wall? Did I play against him in this ga?"
The reporter was dumbfounded.
No...
Do you not understand this?
But since it ca to this, he didn’t need to keep asking questions, because it was getting interesting enough.
But LeBron’s complaints continued: "The main reason we lost tonight is because the New York Knicks were too good at seizing counterattack opportunities. They capitalized on almost every chance, and that’s sothing we need to improve on!"
"Also, our offense was too one-dinsional. The Forest Wolf tonight could only rely on and Dwight. None of our other players stepped up, which is another big reason we lost. So when you put it all together, that’s the fundantal reason for our loss!"
"It’s not that the New York Knicks played exceptionally well tonight; it’s just that we didn’t do the things we usually can, and that’s the real reason!"
He excluded Howard and himself.
This was his summary of the past nine seasons.
Mainly...
He found Howard to be a giant baby. He has to constantly pacify him to maintain their relationship.
LeBron has never been this tired before, but there’s no choice. Howard is his only hope to turn things around, and he must bind their connection.
"Tonight was so frustrating, LeBron, why don’t we go relax a bit?"
LeBron returned to the locker room, Howard was waiting for him inside. When he saw him co in, he imdiately ca up and tried to put his arm around his shoulder, but LeBron dodged it in ti.
"Go ahead by yourself, Dwight!" LeBron wasn’t in the mood.
With no choice, Howard had to go alone.
Because LeBron didn’t join, Howard went sowhere even more lively.
As he said, he was too tired tonight, so he went all out with his fun.
"...
Howard realized the identity of one of the people, and he was a bit surprised: "You’re a Forest Wolf fan?"
The man said: "Actually, I was there at the ga tonight."
"It wasn’t a brilliant night..." Howard felt a bit embarrassed when he heard the man say he was at the ga tonight.
So that’s how it is...
"By the way, let tell you sothing..." As Howard was lost in thought, the man suddenly spoke again, "LeBron might be just like us!"
Howard’s eyes widened like saucers.
How could that be?
The man said: "He should know you like coming to places like this, right?"
Howard nodded.
"Then that explains it!" The man was even more certain, "Even if he’s not yet, he should have experienced sothing similar, so he resists interacting with you so much!"
Howard was still a bit skeptical.
Isn’t it normal for a straight man to be sowhat resistant when knowing his orientation?
His buddy seed to see Howard’s disbelief and didn’t explain much, only saying: "I went through a similar situation at first and beca what I am now, so I know very well that he is in the stage I once experienced!"
This shook Howard’s resolve a bit:
Should I...
Test it out?
He vented his inner frustration through "letting off so steam" and by the ti he left the nightclub, it was daylight, and reports about the ga were flooding in.
First, the discussion about the league’s "strongest duo" for this season disappeared.
Any journalist who watched yesterday’s ga knows that continuing to hype the "strongest duo" would be forcefully pairing LeBron with Su Wan.
Such things might have been done by so dia four or five years ago.
But now, anyone with eyes can see that LeBron truly doesn’t have the capability to cling to Su Wan.
On the contrary, after this ga, LeBron faced another round of "mockery".
The league had changed the traveling rule for LeBron before last season and then clearly defined the "cylinder" concept before this season to reduce interference during his breakthroughs.
But the result...
After two waves of buffs, LeBron’s performance was becoming more and more lackluster!
Besides his individual performance still lacking, in yesterday’s ga he had 5 fouls, nearly fouling out, with 4 fouls during his defense against Su Wan being "cylinder" fouls.
This rule specifically tailored for him beca a weapon for Su Wan in this ga!
Just like last season...
Su Wan used "SOMA steps" to give LeBron a hard ti.
Shaquille O’Neal said: "The league needs to seriously consider what kind of rules can truly enhance LeBron Jas!"
Barkley retweeted his comnt: "Bro, do you really think the league will keep changing rules for him?"
