Chapter 228

Recently, a picture of a little fan became popular.

It was a photo of the little fans wiping their eyes with their hands when James was injured and fell to the ground. The photographer caught the little fans' worry and sad expression about James very well.

This photo was used by many sports media in their headlines.

Most of the reports are,

"James retired from injury, and the Cavaliers' prospects for the season are becoming uncertain."

"The first place in the League may change. Will the Cavaliers fall out of the first Legion?"

"The MVP battle is on the rise again. James may miss his first MVP trophy due to injury!"

……

The focus of the media is how to exaggerate things, catch people's eyes and attract people to see, so do it.

In fact, they don't care much about James' injury. If James is just an ordinary player, he may not be reported by the media.

Only because he is James and the hottest star in the league, the media will flock to him.

Like skip, he had been flying around James like a fly for a long time, and he couldn't get rid of it.

Skip commented: without James, the Cavaliers' record is likely to fall directly to the third place in the East, and the top position will be taken away by the heat. In this way, James, affected by the team's record, is absolutely impossible to win the MVP trophy this season. The most likely candidates to compete for the MVP trophy are Nash and Wade. He predicted that this season's regular season MVP trophy would belong to Nash.

James also saw some of the reports, but he didn't pay attention to the exaggerated reports, because he knew he would be back soon, and believed that the team he built with his heart could fight without him. He retired for a short time. In his opinion, it was a good thing to hone the team, Let everyone play without him and learn how to win. When he returns from injury, the team will be stronger.

James is concerned about the crying child in the picture. Obviously, the little fan is really sad about his injury.

He asked someone to help find the little fan, and then gave the little fan a surprise. He gave the little fan several tickets so that the little fan could come to the scene to watch the game with his family, as well as a pair of shoes and posters signed by him.

On the poster, he wrote such a sentence: "stay strong, don't cry, you are a little man!".

When the little fans received this gift, they were almost happy. He secretly determined to enter the NBA like James in the future. From this day on, he began to spend more time in the stadium to train and improve his basketball skills, rather than going out to play with his friends as before.

The little fan's name is Jason Tatum.

But James didn't know the name of the little fan. He just started from his heart and felt that he should do so.

Therefore, sometimes an unintentional move may affect one's life.

……

……

James's injury is finally determined to rest for two weeks before he can return.

So the Cavaliers will play nine games without James. If their record in nine games is not ideal, they may not be able to maintain their first position. The heat and the Suns are eyeing it. Oh, by the way, there is the Spurs. The Spurs now ranks second in the west, second only to the Suns.

And now it's March. The regular season has entered the stage close to the end. At this time, the record is declining, and there is little chance for them to recover.

At this time, the rotten team is desperately rotten. The team trying to catch the last bus of the playoffs is desperately trying to win more games, so as to beat other competitors and squeeze into the gate of the playoffs, which is polarized.

The team that can ensure that it can get the playoff seat may start to win or lose strategically, so that it can be in a more favorable ranking, so as to avoid some opponents with similar playing methods in the playoffs.

Sure enough, as many media expected, without James's first game, the Cavaliers lost away to the Pacers, and it was a disastrous defeat of 21 points.

In the second game, the Cavaliers lost to the Raptors by one point.

Plus the previous loss to the Spurs, the Cavaliers lost three consecutive games.

Since the beginning of this season, they have lost three consecutive games for the first time, which also gave their first position in the League to the suns.

But media reporters do not think they can rebound, but collectively look down on their prospects.

In these two games, James did not play with the team, but stayed in Cleveland for treatment and rehabilitation.

After that, the Cavaliers fly back to Cleveland from Canada, and then they will play the bulls at home.

So far, the bulls have ranked fourth in the East, and their strength is not weak.

When the team prepared for the game, James participated in the whole process. Except for confrontation training, he has always been with his teammates.

He told his teammates that he had only lost three games, and the problem was not big. As long as they don't lose the heart to win, they can win back. So many regular season games have been won, and the rest of the games can also be won.

He wants his teammates to believe in their own strength. At the time of the game, everyone can stand up and contribute their own strength to become a team in which everyone can fight and contribute, and the Cavaliers will become an invincible team.

James also said that the current players of the Cavaliers are excellent players. Their excellence is not because of his existence, but because of their excellence. The team can stand in the first position in the league, not because of James, but because of everyone's efforts. Everyone must have enough confidence. Everyone in the team is not afraid to compare with all the players in the league.

James's words greatly boosted the morale of the Cavaliers.

And it did have an immediate effect.

In the game with the bulls, the Cavaliers were all brave, actively defensive and actively moving. Paul and Randolph provoked the responsibility of team leaders and led the team to score several waves.

Finally, the Cavaliers defeated the bulls by 110-95 and 15 points at home, ending a three game losing streak.

After this battle, the Cavaliers will have another three away games.

James decided to go away with the team. After treatment, he was able to walk.
