In fact, when most of the media learned about the news, their first reaction was to be suspicious of the news.
They think this is fake news.
Or, the news is true, but the relationships between the characters are confused.
It wasn't Woody who broke Karl Malone's ribs with his elbow, it was Karl Malone who broke Woody's ribs.
Um……
This sounds quite reasonable!
No wonder they doubt the authenticity of this news, this is Karl Malone!
Where did the nickname "Postman" come from?
Isn't it because he has a "body of steel" and works tirelessly all year round?
It wasn't until they saw the video that they finally believed the authenticity of the news.
Karl Malone…
He’s getting old too!
This is the first thought of most reporters after watching this video.
They can't find any other reason than that bones become brittle as we age.
Because judging from the video alone, Woody's elbow strike was not very powerful.
Karl Malone: Not much, right? Why don't you go try it?
After confirming the authenticity of the news, the reporters began to make objective or subjective evaluations on the matter.
Their basis is very unified.
Just as Johnson envisioned…
Karl Malone's injury this time was ultimately due to his hand that moved first. After his obvious elbow raise, Woody's elbow came out.
Since the referee also believes that he committed the foul first, then...
His injury this time can only be said to be his own fault.
I thought Woody was a rookie, so I wanted to use these "dirty" methods to deal with Woody and make him suffer some hidden losses. However, I didn't expect that when he encountered a ruthless attack, he was knocked down with an elbow!
It boils down to one word:
Should!
After an objective reporter has analyzed this point, the article is almost complete.
Reporters with subjective emotions began to "cite the classics" and detail the various "crimes" committed by Karl Malone in the league that year, calling this "the sky is vast, and there are no omissions."
Not only has Woody not been tainted with any "villain" image, but he has become a "dragon-slaying boy".
Players who had a rift with Karl Malone or suffered hidden losses under his iron elbow also stood up the next day and supported Woody one after another!
Woody did not expect such a scene. When he woke up the next morning after returning to Miami, he relaxed immediately when he saw this scene.
As for Karl Malone, he originally wanted to use the media to accuse Woodian of "young people who do not follow martial ethics and sneak attack on the elderly." However, after seeing the condemnation from the entire Internet, they immediately stopped.
His agent was helpless: "Didn't he just have a conflict with Artest?"
The implication is:
This guy looks like he's not easy to mess with. Why are you messing with him?
In this case, before this incident happened, he would definitely not say anything to Karl Malone. After all, this man is a well-known "villain" in the league. Even before this incident happened, he could not believe that someone could Broken Karl Malone's ribs with an elbow.
However, it's "hindsight"!
The main thing is to talk about it afterwards, and the key parties have no way to refute it.
In addition to the discussion about this matter, there was also discussion about the game itself.
Even without this incident, this game is exciting enough:
When the Heat fell behind by 11 points in the first half, they relied on the two newcomers Woody and Wade to work together. One offense and one defense helped the team reverse the point difference and win the final victory.
This game not only wins the present, but also wins the future!
As for the Lakers' "F4" this season, not everyone can face such a strong enemy and complete such a reversal.
Woody and Wade showed the upper limit of what their partnership can achieve in this game.
Bill Walton commented on the performance of Woody and Wade in this game and said this: "They have enough ability to form the offensive and defensive cornerstone of a team, and they have enough upper limit!"
"Glider" believes: "Woody is no longer a question of whether he is good or not. He is a rare player who can serve as the cornerstone of defense to make a team a championship-level team!"
In Drexler's view, Woody's defense is the key to the Heat's counterattack.
Because the Lakers' average points lost per game this season is not low, they are losing 94.8 points per game on average!
For comparison, the Pistons, fourth in the Eastern Conference, only conceded 84.3 points per game; the Pacers, first in the Eastern Conference, only conceded 85.5 points per game; and the Spurs, second in the Western Conference, also averaged only 84.3 points per game.
The Lakers are ranked third in the Western Conference, but they lose nearly 10 points more in every game!
So the Lakers never rely on their defense to win, but on their offense...
This season they averaged 98.8 points per game, which is at least 7 points higher than the average points per game of these teams.
It can be seen from these data that it is relatively easy to score points under their defense. The real difficulty is to prevent them from scoring points.
The Heat did this early in the third quarter, relying on the help defense with Woody as the core!
The "two hoods" of the "hooded OK combination" are simply amazing!
Such defensive ability is really exaggerated!
Barkley's "big mouth" started again: "I think Woody will be Bill Russell among outside players in the future, a cornerstone who can drive the entire team with his personal defense! His appearance is a game for Subversion of current defensive players!”
These remarks caused quite a stir in the outside world.
The next game for the Heat is at home against the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies' starting No. 3, Bunch Wells, the 11th pick in the first round of 1998 who had just been traded to Memphis from the Trail Blazers, heard about Barkley's remarks and said with great disdain: "Among the outside players? Bill Russell? Barkley has really become more and more irrelevant since he became a commentator. I will let him know how inferior he thinks Bill Russell is to this outside player. Damn, how ridiculous is that!"
The Grizzlies can be regarded as a "dark pony team" this season. They worked hard for the 2003 draft last season and did not make any big signings this summer. They just relied on some small transactions. For example, the trade of Bunch Wells from the Trail Blazers made the team jump from the bottom three last season to the sixth team in the Western Conference!
You say, "When it comes to winning, whoever is the best!"
Last season without Bunchy Wells, you were ranked third from the bottom in the Western Conference. This season, with Bonchy Wells joining us in mid-to-late November, we climbed all the way to the sixth spot in the Western Conference.
Isn’t it obvious who is on C on this team?
Bunch Wells is very inflated, even more inflated than when he averaged 17 points and 6 rebounds per game 4 years ago!
At this moment, I heard that there was a rookie on the opposite side, who was called "Bill Russell among outside players" by Charles Barkley, and he was very popular. Of course, I had to seize this opportunity and suppress this "starter". , increase your reputation!
Woody heard someone mocking him and opened the system panel excitedly.
I just slid to the task interface and looked at the empty panel, and I was immediately disappointed.
No!
Is it such a good dish?
The system is too lazy to even send a task?
Then why did he have the nerve to provoke!
Woody is depressed.
Depressed, he immediately took out Bunch Wells' personal information and conducted a careful study of him:
Bunch Wells is 1.96 meters tall and mainly plays the No. 2 position, occasionally guest-starring at the No. 3 position. But in terms of playing style, he is very different from the traditional second position, or the usual "forward-guard swingman".
He is more accustomed to low-post singles, has great momentum, likes to disrupt battles, and has excellent rebounding ability, especially offensive rebounding ability. At his peak, he averaged 1.6 offensive rebounds per game. This season has weakened slightly, but He still averages about 1 offensive rebound per game.
Overall, it looks a bit like a "bankrupt version of Barkley."
They are both tall on the outside and play like a power forward.
But what really sets him apart from Barkley is that his shooting ability is too weak.
This has something to do with his character.
In the early days of entering the league, he produced the statistics of a first-class player early on, and then became obsessed with bad things off the court. In addition, he was on the "Portland Prison Team", what good things could he learn from that place? All his good years have been wasted, and now he still has no shooting ability!
This is a weakness that is worth targeting, and one attack can produce significant results!
That night, Woody also kept these issues and playing habits of Bunchy Wells in mind.
When facing off, give him enough shooting space to prevent him from breaking through easily, and when he rushes up, try not to confront him in advance. This guy is 1.96 meters tall and weighs 95kg. He is completely small. The calf has a strong impact. Woody is only 3kg heavier than him. When he rushes to the basket, he can use his height and wingspan to interfere.
If Woody and he were on the same page in the early confrontation, then when they got to the basket, it was a pure "spring water open"!
Whether it was interfering with his shots or protecting rebounds in confrontations, Bunchy Wells was powerless against him. His mind had already begun to make many moves, but facing Woody, the hands on his hands The action just can't be done.
More often than not, one can only watch Woody block a shot or grab a rebound in advance.
"What kind of wingspan is this!"
"What kind of bouncing is this!"
"How can he still dance?"
"What kind of monster is this!"
Bunchy Wells was also gradually refreshed in his repeated confrontations with Woody.
This monster...
It's really terrible!
At the end of the game, Bunchy Wells only scored 6 points and 3 rebounds.
The data is very bad. As an "offensive rebounding master" among defenders, he failed to grab a single rebound in this game.
He probably faced off against Woody about 10 times, and he didn't get a rebound once.
Either it was collected by Woody himself, or Woody hit the backboard first and passed the ball to his teammates.
But this is not the most embarrassing statistic.
What's even more embarrassing is the number of times he was blocked...
A full 5 times!
All from Woody!
After the game, he only had one feeling: the basket was full of Woody!
Not to mention scoring goals, it was difficult for him to even take shots.
Bunch Wells' final statistics were fixed at a miserable 6 points, 3 rebounds, 5 blocks, and 4 turnovers.
Woody's statistics are completely opposite to his: 19 points, 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and 5 assists!
Tonight, Woody once again achieved comprehensive data of "15 plus 10 plus 5 plus 5". This is the third time in his career that he has achieved such data!
And on a night when he scored such a stat, the Heat had a very refreshing victory without exception.
This game was no exception. The Heat defeated the Grizzlies 101-89 and 12 points at their home court, winning their "three consecutive wins" in December.
ESPN commentator Mike Breen summarized the game: "Woody's data has become a barometer for the Heat. When his personal performance and assist data on the offensive end reach the season average or above, it is often the Heat. Play the most comfortable rhythm!”
The reason for saying this is that Wade only scored 18 points tonight.
James Posey and Sean Battier took good care of him, and he was no longer as brave as he was against the Lakers in the last game.
But this did not affect the Heat's success in winning the game.
Even without his breakthrough, there is still Odom's ball-handling offense, Eddie Jones' outside shooting, and Woody and Gerald-Wallace's cutting scores.
The Heat still have many scoring methods in sports games.
Just after falling into position, their offensive breakthrough must rely on Wade's breakthrough with the ball to tear apart the opponent's defense.
However, at that time, the Heat's entire offensive rhythm is often driven by the opponent. Wade's breakthrough alone cannot actually solve the problem. Purely "treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor"!
The next game against the Spurs also proved this.
This is the second time the Heat have faced the Spurs this season. The last game they faced the Spurs was the second game of "back-to-back" games for the Heat. They lacked physical fitness and lost easily.
This game...
They still lost easily.
In this game, Wade showed his progress since he entered the league for a month. In front of him, Tony Parker, the "French sports car" of the Spurs' No. 1 position, is really a "little sports car toy". He can drive whatever he wants. Yes, there is no need to worry about his reaction.
He scored 19 points in this game.
good performance.
But the main reason why the Heat lost was that Woody could not take into account both internal and external defense like he did against other teams. Especially for Tim Duncan's assistance defense, the effect was very bad.
This forces Stan Van Gundy to shrink his defensive formation and double-team Tim Duncan at any time.
But the problem is...
Tim Duncan is not the Shaquille O'Neal of this period, who can only stay under the basket. His comprehensive offensive ability and prime physical fitness allow him to appear anywhere within the three-point line.
The Heat's defense became passive as a result.
Coupled with the Spurs' disciplined teamwork and team command, the Heat can't always play a comfortable rhythm on the offensive end and fall into positional battles from time to time.
Driving the tempo, Tim Duncan made an impact on both offense and defense...
These are exactly the two basic conditions for the Spurs to win during this period!
Tim Duncan finished the game and easily scored 26 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, 3 assists and 1 steal. The Spurs also easily defeated the Heat with 10 points.
In fact, from all aspects of strength, Tim Duncan is undoubtedly the "number one player in the league" at this stage. His name has been written on the regular season MVP trophies in the past two years, which also proves this.
What many people don't know is that the first player after Michael Jordan to defend the regular season MVP trophy was Tim Duncan.
This is something that Allen Iverson, Shaquille O'Neal and other "top super giants" in the early 2000s failed to do. It was just his low-key personality and the exposure in the city of San Antonio that affected him.
Many media believe that if Tim Duncan was really selected by the Celtics, he would definitely be more dazzling during this period than he was with the Spurs.
Under the "halo of a wealthy family", he is no longer a "Stone Buddha", but directly becomes the "American Buddha"!
In this game, Woody learned what "Duncan, the immovable stone Buddha" means.
Ordinary interference cannot affect him at all. It must be the kind of interference that is completely enveloped to affect his shots.
But this guy's grasp of the timing of his shots is top-notch in the league, resulting in Woody not being able to demonstrate his defensive capabilities well at all.
Of course, to put it bluntly, his ability is not enough. If he really fulfills his full defensive potential, let alone winning the game, he is absolutely sure to make Tim Duncan's game even more uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, he is still a long way from realizing the full potential of the template.
He only got 10 rebounds tonight, all of which were backcourt rebounds.
Yes, Woody didn't grab a single offensive rebound tonight.
This is the first time in his career...
Although facing Tim Duncan, it is normal to not be able to grab it.
Moreover, Popovich has also studied his rebounding and mobilized Woody from the outside as far away from the basket as possible. This is one of the reasons why Woody didn't grab an offensive rebound.
But facing the Spurs, just protecting the backcourt rebounds is really not enough to win the game.
In addition to 10 rebounds, Woody scored only 11 points and shot 45% from the field!
A team like the Spurs with high defensive enthusiasm, excellent defensive awareness, and good defensive habits is really the nemesis of players with Woody's style.
The chance of getting a shot through an air cut is greatly reduced. At the same time, when the air cut reaches the basket, there is almost no situation where there is no help in defense. ——Tim Duncan is also an excellent help defender.
With few points, there are naturally not many assists. Woody only got 2 in this game!
11 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists...
Playing against the Spurs for the second time this season, Woody continued to pay his tuition!
But this game made Drexler more certain that the "barometer" of this team is not Wade, but Woody.
Not only did he confirm it, many media also saw this phenomenon:
Wade's performance was average in the last game, and the team won; against the Spurs, he was the Heat's best player, and the team lost;
Woody performed bravely and comprehensively in the last game, and the team won easily; against the Spurs, the offensive end was limited, and the defensive end was not very good, and the team lost cleanly;
For this team, it’s clear whose data is the “real data”!
After the game, Stan Van Gundy returned to Miami to visit his teacher again.
This is the second time since December that he has taken the initiative to have a serious conversation with his teacher.
The last time was after playing the Lakers.
Wade and Woody "double stars shine" in Los Angeles. After he returned to Miami, he immediately found Pat Riley excitedly and was very sure that he had found the answer: "I want to officially establish Wade in the rest of the season. With Germany as the core on the offensive end and Woody as the core on the defensive end, I believe that this lineup will run smoothly and can definitely go far!"
Pat Riley did not answer the question, but just asked him to look and observe again.
After playing these two games, he finally understood what Pat Riley meant by "re-observation"!
Using Wade as the core of the offense is just a "false proposition" reflected in the data.
This team's style of play has nothing to do with Wade.
In other words, Wade is not the "cornerstone" in the entire Heat's offensive and defensive system.
If he is here, the Heat can play like this. If he is not here, the Heat will be replaced by someone else, such as Ricky Davis or something. Without considering growth, the Heat will actually still be in the current model.
The one person you really can’t live without is Woody!
The defensive end must rely on him to establish a defensive system, and the offensive end must also help him open up the situation.
The Heat's interior rotation consists of four people: Woody, Odom, Grant and Haslem.
Apart from Woody, the other three do not have very good finishing ability at the basket.
Including Odom.
He plays more of an outside style.
The Heat want to create a sense of urgency for their opponents in the interior, and Woody's offensive status is particularly important. When his shooting percentage increases, coupled with Wade's breakthrough, the opponent can shrink its defensive formation...
That is to say...
The offensive tactics, while focusing on Wade, must also help Woody open up the offensive situation and make it easier for him to attack.
Then on the defensive end, Woody was the main player, arranging the defense...
"So, teacher, I've thought about it. The pick-and-roll tactic is the most suitable offensive tactic for the Heat..." Stan Van Gundy said, "But neither Woody nor Wade's shooting ability is very good. In this regard, I think they can be matched. Adopt UCLA's running system and add shooting points in other positions of the lineup..."
Doing this can help the two of them open up space very well, so that the opponent does not dare to double-team them at will.
Another advantage is that Wade's organizational skills are not strong, and his ability to organize running tactics and passing skills are not outstanding. All of his assists come from breakthrough points. But with the UCLA running system, it can well make up for his lack of organization and passing ability, allowing him to play more easily at the 1st position.
Pat Riley was very satisfied with Stan Van Gundy's report this time. He smiled and nodded: "Man, it is indeed the right choice for you to succeed me as the new head coach of the Heat! I believe you will never I have failed these two newcomers. If there is a head coach in this league who is best suited to train these two kids, then I think that person must be you!"
Stan Van Gundy had a snot bubble in his nose after hearing this. Fortunately, he already knew that Pat Riley would definitely blow him up with a mental "sugar-coated bullet" after listening to his arrangement.
After following Pat Riley for so many years, he still doesn't know what Pat Riley is like?
So he wrote down the difficulties of this tactical system in his notebook early...
The biggest difficulty is how Wade can remember his teammates' tactical movements in the shortest possible time!
Only by remembering the tactical movement can this ULCA movement system help him.
If it were Woody, this would definitely not be a difficulty, but this is Wade...
"35" is really too difficult!
Pat Riley didn't have a headache at all and waved his hand towards him, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this."
Stan Van Gundy walked away in a hurry. He immediately picked up the phone next to the corner of the table and dialed the phone number that he had memorized by heart. Before making the call, he coughed twice and adjusted it. After the call was connected, he said in the most loving tone: "Dwyane, my most satisfied child, I know you will never let me down, no matter what is in front of you, no matter what No matter how difficult it is, you will work hard to complete it, right? I have never had any doubts about this, just like when I wanted to get you and made a deal, I never had the slightest hesitation, because you It’s Dwyane Wade…the kid I can always count on!”
Wade's head went crazy at that time...
You know!
I am the person who cannot bear to hear such words!
"Promise to complete the mission!"
Then he shouted these words with passion.
What kind of picture is this of "a loving father and a filial son"!
Even Pat Riley himself has to admit that even his own son may not be as obedient as Dwyane Su Quanxiao Wade...
The first week of December is over.
On December 9, the league announced the "Player of the Week Award" for the first week of December.
Even though they lost the game against the Spurs, the Heat still achieved a record of 3 wins and 1 loss.
During this period, Woody contributed 16 points and 21 rebounds against the Pacers, 12 points, 12 rebounds and 7 blocks against the Lakers, 19 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks against the Grizzlies, plus the Spurs. 11 points and 10 rebounds...
In 4 games, he averaged 14.5 points, 14.25 rebounds, 3.75 assists, 4.25 blocks and 1.25 steals per game. Shooting percentage 62.5%!
His extremely comprehensive performance allowed him to defeat Vince Carter, who averaged 21.3 points, 4 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game, leading the team to 3 wins and 0 losses, and became the "Player of the Week" in the Eastern Conference in the first week of December. .
After the media learned about the news, they interviewed Vince Carter immediately.
It is now known to the outside world that the Raptors general manager wanted to choose Woody at first, but Vince Carter wanted to choose an immediate player, so he chose Chris Bosh.
The results proved that what they let go was a man who won the "Best of the Month" in the first month of the new season, and now stepped on his head to win the "Best of the Week" in the first week of December, who has full combat potential. Super newcomer...
"Do you regret it, Vince?"
I regret your grandma’s legs!
Vince Carter almost cursed outright.
At that time, the Raptors management gave him two people to choose from. Either Chris Bosh or Woody.
Without "eyes in the sky" and without knowing the following things, would you choose a high school student or a freshman who has performed well in the NCAA league?
Furthermore, it’s not like there haven’t been “genius high school students” in previous NBA drafts, but whether it’s Kevin Garnett or his cousin Tracy McGrady, they are all “semi-finished products” that need to be settled!
He had no choice at all...
Of course, having said that, Vince Carter does have hundreds of millions of regrets in his heart.
Who wouldn’t be jealous of such a supernova!
But now, he can only...
Once, there was a talented newcomer in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. If I were given a chance to come back...
Woody won the "Player of the Week Award" again, which not only made Vince Carter regretful, but also made LeBron James' team even more anxious.
He also came out of St. Mary's High School. Now Woody is so strong that he won the "Best Player of the Month" and the "Best Player of the Week". With the momentum in front of him, even if he doesn't win the "Best Player of the Month Award" in December "Winning the Eastern Conference's "Rookie of the Month Award" is probably a matter of hands!
Even though he played so well, LeBron James still performed well and badly. For example, in the first game in December, he scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. He thought he was getting better, but next time he scored 21 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists. In one game, he immediately struggled again, finishing the game with 13 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.
Fortunately, this child is smart. When a certain data cannot be filled in more, he knows how to work hard on other data columns.
But this is still far behind Woody.
If this continues, one thing is certain:
The distance between him and Woody will become wider and wider!
By then, there will be no more "three geniuses". In terms of popularity, only Carmelo Anthony can compete with Woody...
This is also where they feel LeBron James is unlucky. It would be great if the Cleveland Cavaliers were not in the East, but in the West. In this way, no matter how Woody dominates the East, it will not cause too much damage to LeBron James. Impact.
Instead, they can use "the east is weak and the west is strong" to argue for LeBron.
Carmelo Anthony next door is only more stable than LeBron James. If compared with Woody, his data can only be regarded as good and bad.
Woody is really too perverted. He has a "double-double" in almost every game. So far in the new season, he has only failed to get a double-double in one or two games... Never mind how economical he is with some "double-doubles". .
This "two pairs" name sounds good and that's all.
The thing that most angered LeBron James' team happened the day after Woody won his first "Best of the Week" in December. The Miami media really didn't leave any way for LeBron James to survive.
With such a big lead, they actually haven't forgotten to suppress LeBron James.
They found fault with LeBron James's average playing time of 40 minutes per game: "If Woody plays 40 minutes like LeBron James, his data will undoubtedly be more luxurious, no, it should be said... any rookie, If they get a lot of playing time like LeBron James, their numbers will definitely not be bad!"
Listen!
Is this human language?
The Goodman brothers once again suspected that there was a traitor among them!
The reason is also very simple, because they are recently starting from LeBron James's playing time and giving him an "Iron Man" personality.
Go out and ask around, which high school student can average 40 minutes per game when he first enters the league?
This is definitely a sign of "extraordinary physical talent"!
Um……
There’s really nothing to brag about!
Start bragging about playing time!
But the result is that this advantage they worked so hard to come up with is now being attacked by the Miami media.
What is "public opinion"?
That is "the one who attacks first has the advantage"!
Now after such a report in the Miami media, when it comes to LeBron James' statistics, fans will only say that they are all accumulated over time. Which rookie has played for such a long time without good statistics...
I can only say that the words of the Miami media are quite "murderous"!
The situation further went against LeBron James, and almost at a life-or-death moment, LeBron James' team urgently contacted the Cavaliers' management.
Just put a hat on it:
"We feel like LeBron James was delayed!"
These words made Cavaliers general manager Jimmy Paxson look shocked, as if he had seen a ghost.
He really didn't know how the Goodman brothers could say this.
It seems that they have been cooperating with the "ESPN King" since they selected LeBron James, right?
Judging from the publicity before he joined the team, including him playing in the summer league, the Cavaliers even called the entire bench to "study with the prince." How do newcomers from other teams get this kind of treatment?
Just like that, I was still delayed!
Do you two have any heart at all?
The Goodman brothers were not guilty at all: "We feel that you do not trust us to the greatest extent. If you trusted us, you would not trade Ricky Davis until now. His ball-handling style is too good." By preventing LeBron from playing according to his ideas, you know, LeBron has always been a team player, he has always cooperated with his teammates, let me tell you this, man, LeBron has not shown all his Half of the strength!”
Jimmy Paxson resisted the urge to roll his eyes. To be able to say this, either the Goodman brothers are idiots, or the Goodman brothers treat him as an idiot.
Judging from the fact that they have been in contact so many times, he felt that the Goodman brothers were more likely to treat him as a fool. He said intentionally or unintentionally: "Woody's agent has never asked the team to treat him as a fool." So and so made a deal!"
This was said with a touch of sarcasm.
There is also an implication:
We didn't give up on Woody just for this situation to happen.
Besides, Woody performed so well with the Heat and didn't even have such a requirement. Why do you, LeBron James, do it?
No wonder Jimmy Paxson is so annoyed.
You must know that in order to make things worse, the Cavaliers had already sent away Andre Miller, who won the "assist leader" in his third year in the league, and now they have sent away Ricky Davis... Then you Brown James will have no helpers by then. Do you have to blame me for not recruiting you well?
Cleveland is a small place to begin with. It is not easy to produce an "assist king", nor is it easy to have a player who averages 20 points per game. If they are all given away, can you, LeBron James, win the championship alone?
Or, I want to become the next "OK" group with Big Z!
Perhaps sensing Jimmy Paxson's dissatisfaction, the Goodman brothers immediately changed their attitude. Aaron Goodman's tone suddenly softened: "Man, I also understand your concerns. Woody's performance is very good. We admit this, but we all know the reason why LeBron James finally defeated Woody in the draft. He has excellent ball-holding ability, which Woody cannot match! This also determines a player's quality. Isn’t that the upper limit?”
Jimmy Paxson was silent. He had to admit that the Goodman brothers were right.
Even now, the reason why the outside world has not completely changed their direction is that they are still in the growth stage, unless Woody wins the championship in advance as the core, proving that he can win the championship with him as the cornerstone.
Otherwise, no matter how good he is now, LeBron James' future is still worth looking forward to!
Seeing that his words impressed Jimmy Paxson, Aaron Goodman continued: "We have always been consistent on this point, so why not be more thorough? Our goals are actually the same, let LeBron James has fully played to the heights he should have reached, allowing this team to succeed under his leadership! He has such potential, but he still needs some sacrifices?"
"Success is like this..."
"You say so, General Manager Jimmy Paxson!"
When Jimmy Paxson was silent for about ten seconds with the strong affirmative rhetorical question, he took a hard sip from the cigarette he had lit at some point and wanted to say something else.
Aaron Goodman spoke first: "That's it, Jimmy, trade Ricky Davis and give LeBron a bigger stage!"
(End of chapter)
