Chapter 810: Welcome Home
"Miami fans, I'm sorry. I'm a lost person, and now, it's time for me to go home. ”
"I hope you can understand me, at least, I did what I promised and brought a championship to Miami."
"Now, it's time for me to go home and fulfill my other promise, I hope you will understand and bless me."
The above three paragraphs, from "Quotations of the Little Emperor", are James's explanations to Miami fans at the press conference after he was found to be cheating and did not renew his contract.
These words are very beautiful, and the meaning is very clear, I, James, have come to you to have fun. Now that I've had enough fun and brought you enough, it's time for me to go home!
Tsk, these words don't sound like a problem at first glance, and they seem to make a lot of sense, but if you think about it carefully, the one who can turn his back on the whole team is so justified and fresh and refined, and he is the one who has ever been.
So, naturally, Miami fans don't buy it.
Is this Miami like a hotel? Come when you want, go when you want, and say that you want to go home when you get lost, where do you want to go back!
Angry Miami fans won't forgive him, originally they thought that next season James would be able to play a few minutes less and pay more attention to his body after he recovers his health, and now, they have not directly cursed him for being crippled.
And very importantly, James was not injured, but Wade, the soul of Miami, was revealed by an unnamed paparazzi on the same day that his knee would undergo surgery this summer!
This is really troublesome, James's decision to leave has greatly reduced the strength of the Heat, and now Wade is going to undergo surgery again, and the recovery period is unknown, so what will the Heat play next season? Who supports Miami's pride? Bosh? (Forgive Miami fans for habitually ignoring Bosh)
Many fans even questioned James directly on the Internet, whether he wanted to leave because he felt that the Heat's current lineup was not good!
After all, everyone knows that Wade is old and injured, and the rest of the team is not at a good level, so James can't see any hope of winning the championship here.
Since he can't win the championship, there is no need to stay, anyway, James came to Miami for the championship.
So, the scene that happened in Cleveland many years ago was played out again, and the streets were full of discarded Heat No. 6 jerseys, which were wantonly trampled, and even the uncle who picked up garbage and the homeless man who didn't cover his clothes didn't want to take a second look.
Of course, these clothes are a good heating tool if it is evening.
Burning jerseys and shoes, in just one day, James successfully replaced Qin Yan as Miami's least favorite player, how do you say that? The love is deep, and the responsibility is keen, just because I liked James too much before, and now Miami fans will make such an irrational move.
Of course, a few families are happy and a few are sad, and if someone is unhappy, naturally someone will be happy.
As soon as the news of James' departure came out, it should be said that all the remaining teams in the league were very happy except for the Heat, after all, James was still the first person in the league, and if he could get him, the combat effectiveness of the entire team could be doubled immediately.
Even the San Antonio media have some fantasies about what would happen if James joined the Spurs.
Not...... In that case, the other teams won't be able to play, they won't be able to beat at all!
But this is obviously unlikely, James has to think about going to the Spurs to do this!
A reporter asked Popovich, "Would you be happy if LeBron was willing to come to San Antonio?" ”
Popovich's reply was quite cheerful: "By the time he comes, I will probably be retired." ”
In a word, he didn't say welcome, he didn't say he didn't welcome it, but he undoubtedly gambled on James' way to the Spurs.
But it doesn't matter, there are 28 other teams that welcome him.
"Thunder are willing to trade Westbrook + Ibaka for James!"
"Celtic welcome James!"
"The Knicks never stopped pursuing James!"
……
In just a few days, James managed to grab all the headlines, although he didn't win the championship, but he stubbornly stole the limelight of the championship!
However, soon the rest of the league was disappointed, because James let out the words, I am not going anywhere but the Cavaliers.
Wow, this news is really shocking, no one thought that James actually planned to return to Cleveland.
Cleveland fans were happy, back then, after James left, the Cavaliers suddenly changed from a powerhouse in the East to a belly team, and everyone was bullied, even if the league compensated them for several years of high draft picks, it was useless, and although Irving, who was drafted in 11, was not bad, but he failed to bring the team into a strong team like James.
So, when James said he was coming back, Cleveland was boiling!
Our emperor is finally going home!
Cavaliers fans really want to cry.
When James left a few years ago, the streets of Cleveland, a small place, were full of burned posters of James' jerseys and sneakers, and the locals instantly regarded James as a big traitor and an unfamiliar wolf cub.
Although James also said at that time that he would come back to bring a championship to Cleveland in the future, no one wanted to believe him, in their eyes, James was a traitor who forgot his righteousness!
But now, when they knew that James was coming back, they all became great benevolent people in an instant:
"We've always supported LeBron!"
"We're sure he'll be back sooner or later!"
"LeBron is a good boy, he's just homesick."
Even the city of Cleveland expressed good understanding of James' decision:
"Welcome home!"
This is the attitude of the whole city of Cleveland towards James's "Decision 2"!
……
When Qin Yan saw these words of Cleveland fans and the local government's practices on social media, he was confused.
This trick is okay, this kind of disobedient words are believed? Cleveland fans, why didn't you see you so "understanding" back then? Or are the fans who scolded so fiercely now burping?
However, I have to say that James's team played beautifully, and the image crisis that was likely to appear again came to naught in an instant after James sincerely stated that he wanted to "go home".
Many media have stood up to speak for James, saying that he has indeed brought a championship to the Heat and fulfilled the promise he made when he joined, and now people want to return to the place where the dream began.
Moreover, this one is a bit like the "prodigal son"... Well, no, it's the script of "Returning Home" that is very appetizing to most people in the United States, so this time, except for some extreme fans in Miami, there are not many fans who think that there is anything wrong with James, and some people actually interpret this as "not forgetting the roots".
Well, let's just say that this is a story that makes the Heat uncomfortable and everyone else can be happy, James has successfully survived his image crisis, and Cleveland seems to be about to usher in their spring again!
