Chapter 715: Chapter 263: Is the Final Blow to Defeat LeBron James Coming?
When Su Wan announced that LeBron was withdrawing from the competition, everyone was still in shock. Then they heard the host declare that LeBron would have to bow out of the "Dunk Contest" due to a groin discomfort, which blew the roof off the show.
The message board was scrolling with comments fast:
"HAHAHAHA, Su Wan really does understand LeBron!"
"I don’t get it, are you saying LeBron’s injury is fake?"
"LeBron is no match for Su Wan, he guesses everything he’d do, how can you even play like that?"
"I declare, this is the most effective footage of this All-Star Weekend!"
"I knew sticking to Su Wan’s commentary on LeBron would be full of surprises!"
Erin promptly displayed her professionalism as a host, "Su, why did you think LeBron would drop out?"
LeBron’s movement of bending over in front of the camera looked like he was tying his shoelaces.
As for the staff coming up behind him, they thought it was about coordinating something.
Erin thought there was an issue with LeBron’s dunk segment and communicated with the staff about it, but while she was still confused, Su Wan had already deduced that LeBron would withdraw.
This was...
Really too godly, wasn’t it?
Was he the worm in LeBron’s stomach?
What else could Su say?
Being timid was engraved in LeBron’s bones.
And now, Su Wan, who had guessed his next move, naturally had his word as law.
"I don’t want to speculate about LeBron without basis, and I regret to hear about LeBron’s injury," Su started with a layer of "disclaimer," then immediately shifted gears, "I just suddenly thought about how after every failure, there would always be news about LeBron being injured. It’s as if the reason he couldn’t progress further wasn’t because of a formidable opponent, but because of his injuries. Oh, last summer was an exception. LeBron didn’t face an injury, but instead, news erupted about the even more severe Mommy Gate incident!"
"LeBron seems unable to face failure!"
"He’s never shown the decisiveness when it was necessary for him to put in a bold effort."
"Thus, I had such a thought!"
"Of course, I’m just guessing. Maybe he really did face a groin injury and then miraculously rested for one day, returning to regular matches fully recovered, attacking the basket with all his might!"
"We all know LeBron’s body is extraordinary!"
At this moment, Vince Carter added, "Normally a groin injury requires one to two weeks of rest."
Su Wan glanced at him.
From his expression, you could tell, he had said that on purpose.
Vince Carter...
Indeed, did it on purpose.
Su’s words reminded him of some unpleasant experiences with the Cavaliers. He couldn’t help himself and stoked the fire.
As for the netizens listening to what Su and Carter had said, they rushed to LeBron’s Twitter to comment eagerly:
"LeBron, Su Wan guessed all your moves. Surprised or not, thrilled or not?"
"Show us a real injury report! Stop using injuries as an excuse to evade failure!"
"LeBron, you truly never disappoint when it comes to letting people down!"
"If it were Su Wan, he would choose to take the risk. That’s the biggest difference between you and him!"
"So why did you even participate in the Dunk Contest?"
LeBron James, assisted by staff, returned to the locker room and heaved a huge sigh of relief once they left, feeling like he’d narrowly escaped death.
He swore he’d never participate in a "Dunk Contest" again.
Was it because these crazy people heard he’d participate and went all out in preparation?
Damn it...
Especially McGee, what inhuman dunks were those!
He muttered under his breath incessantly. At the same time, Richie Paul also entered the locker room looking panicked, but since he was a measured person, he only approached and spoke in a low voice close to LeBron, "It’s not good, LeBron..."
LeBron turned to him, "What?"
Richie Paul handed his phone over, gesturing for him to look for himself.
On the phone screen was the news about Su Wan guessing his withdrawal.
"F*ck me!"
An aggravated LeBron threw the phone to the ground.
Richie Paul: ???
"Su Wan, Su Wan, Su Wan!" LeBron was so angry, he couldn’t stop repeating Su’s name.
Paul picked up his own phone with concern, noticing the clearly shattered screen. But he knew that this was not the key issue now: "What do we do, LeBron?"
LeBron glared at him:
You’re asking me what to do?
Which one of us is the agent here?
"If it weren’t for you making me talk about participating in the Dunk Contest in front of the media, would it have become this bad?" LeBron stopped pretending and dumped the blame on Richie Paul.
Paul was at a loss for words.
Of course, in his mind, he was thinking:
I just let you engage in a topic about the Dunk Contest, I didn’t ask you to really join, you were the one who got riled up by Su, can you blame me?
Moreover...
I didn’t ask you to abort midway!
Your own cowardice isn’t my fault?
But Richie Paul couldn’t say that.
In this team, they had to treat LeBron as a "King."
Their specific guidelines also followed two rules: the first is LeBron is never wrong, the second is if LeBron is wrong, please refer to the first rule.
Eventually, Paul came up with a solution:
