Chapter 640 Superstars Should Pretend

In the era of highly developed information technology, NBA super giants should pretend to be aggressive, otherwise they will lack topics and controversies, and even if they are very strong, they will often be ignored.

Ruan Erniu's rookie season is almost unprecedented, but he is still not the object of the league's praise.

In addition to his identity as a celestial being, there are certain reasons for his low-key personality.

However, after winning the championship in his rookie season and winning the FMVP trophy, Ruan Erniu immediately had the capital to become awesome in the second season of his career.

So at the beginning of the new season, he put forward the goal of defending the title and winning the MVP. At present, he has completed at least half of it.

And what about LeBron James?

He has always been a proud and sensitive person. When Erniu met him for the first time in his rookie season, he felt that this person was full of pretense.

At that time, Erniu had already produced shocking data and became the de facto leader of the Eagles.

While James showed goodwill to him on the surface, in fact, there is still an arrogance mentality that is used for his own use.

Obviously, things can be done with a phone call, but James wants to pass the message through the queen reporter as an opportunity to meet.

Er Niu didn't react at first, but after thinking about it carefully, isn't this the same as the emperor summoning ministers and needing to be summoned by eunuchs?

But gradually, James couldn't pretend in front of Erniu.

AMVP, ROY, D-POY, FMVP, championship, when Ruan Erniu was one step ahead of him and gathered a series of top honors, James also had to admit that this player entered the league four seasons later than himself People of the yellow race really have the qualifications to sit on an equal footing with him.

Until this season, Ruan Erniu won the MVP one step ahead of him, which made James directly shorter than Erniu.

MVP, this is the standard configuration of super giants!

As the chosen one, but has never won an MVP in his career, why is such a player called "KING"?
James desperately needed to prove himself, which made him send that text message pretentiously after winning a tie-break.

However, what awaited him was Ruan Erniu's sharper counterattack.

LeBron, what are you doing?I have swept two consecutive rounds, and you just finished two tie-breaks and stood in front of me, what is there to be proud of?
The signing of the MVP corresponding to KING-JAMES trampled the last bit of King's self-esteem under his feet.

His Majesty?Probably the one in the "new clothes"!
Erniu's side was just fighting back casually, while James' side was so angry that he almost smashed his phone!

But he can't do anything about it. Compared with hard honors, he is not better than the Chinese; compared with the strength of the team, he has lingering fears about the 73-win Eagles.

James, who held the resentment deeply in his heart, was extremely uncomfortable.

He needs stronger teammates and a better team to fight back against the Chinese.

He wants to completely defeat Kraft Nguyen and realize his dream and ambition of being No.1 in basketball.

Can the Cavaliers' current roster provide him with all that?

James opened the cell phone address book and found Uncle Wes's phone number again. He didn't press the call button, but he knew very well that he had already made a decision in his heart.

……

On May 5th, US time, the Philips Center in Atlanta.

After resting for many days, the Atlanta people finally ushered in their opponents in the Eastern Conference Finals - the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Before the start of the playoffs, the Eagles coaching staff has been worried about the Eagles' physical fitness.

I am afraid that the players will not be able to guarantee enough intensity and concentration in the playoffs because they have consumed too much energy in the regular season.

But two rounds of playoffs have passed, and the Hawks finally realized that the most worrying thing is not the Hawks' physical fitness, but their ability to maintain their competitive state during the long-interval series.

The Cavaliers, who have just experienced two tiebreakers, may not have as much physical fitness as the Eagles, but their game intensity is definitely higher than that of the Eagles. This is what Woodson is most worried about.

Before the start of the game, James and Ruan Erniu did not have any conversations, and both sides focused on the warm-up training before the game.

In contrast, James himself is under a little more pressure.

If the Celestials successfully defend their title this season, it means that he will be completely convincing, a big step ahead of James, who has no championship bonus.

A step behind, often a step behind, the Chosen One is facing his bleak life!
Of course, just like the Rockets eliminated the Lakers in the last round, no one could predict the result until the last moment of the game.

If James can defeat the Hawks and advance to the finals, he will also choke the throat of fate and start his dominance.

TNT once again sent its own classic team: Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, and Kevin Harlan presided over the on-site commentary work together.

And the unique colorful style in the hosting industry - Greg Sager also started his pre-match interview with the microphone in hand.

"Kraft, what do you think of the upcoming Eastern Conference Finals?"

"Do you want to tell the truth?" Er Niu asked back.

Sage paused, and immediately said: "Of course!"

The flower suit had a premonition that this kid was going to say something amazing!
Ruan Erniu went on to say: "Although saying this is very unfriendly to the Cavaliers, I have to say frankly that we will try our best to reproduce the situation in the first two rounds!"

Sage had an instant orgasm!
People in the media like high-profile players to pretend to be aggressive. If you don’t pretend to be aggressive, how can the media increase the ratings.

"You mean, do you have the confidence to sweep the knights?"

Ruan Erniu asked back: "Shouldn't we have this confidence?"

Sager pressed on, "What if the Hawks lose one or two of those games?"

Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "So, you also think the Hawks will advance to the finals? Okay! I was just joking. But no matter what score we draw with the Cavaliers, we will advance to the finals."

Sage said in his heart, your expression just now didn't look like you were joking.

That being said, Sager ended the interview with a couple of random questions.

The most important answer has already been obtained, and the interview after that is irrelevant!

Before the game, the two teams announced their starting rosters in turn:
For knights:

C Zajunas Ilgauskas
PF Anderson Varejao

SF LeBron James

SG Delonte West

PG Mo Williams
For the Eagles:

C Ruan Erniu

PF Josh Smith

SF John Salmons
SG Joe Johnson

PG Mike Bibby
The two starters completed their warm-up, and after a brief high-five, they walked to their respective positions.

Er Niu's last high-five was James, and the two made extremely brief eye contact.

If we talk about the last season, the two still don't know what their fate will be in the next few years.So at this moment, the two of them have completely understood one thing - he is my lifelong enemy!
Ruan Erniu jumped high in the jump ball and easily defeated Ilgauskas who could hardly jump.

Eclipse got the ball in the backcourt and then sent the ball to Bibby.

The Hawks had the ball, and Bibby sent the ball to Jon Jonsen, who drove the ball into the basket, and after attracting double-teams, Bibby distributed the ball to Ruan Erniu, who was in the bull's-eye position.

Er Niugan stood up, shot with straight arms, and hit the first goal after the opening.

　Thanks to the book friends for their corrections during the foolish rush. The paragraphs in the previous chapter should indeed be biased towards the Rockets.
