"The Cleveland Cavaliers are in terrible shape with 1 win and 5 losses on the road!"
"Most of the losses against the favorites for the championship reveal the nature of the Cavaliers' fake strong team."
"From January to now, with 5 wins and 7 losses, the Cavaliers' record suddenly declined. What went wrong?"
"..."
After six consecutive trips, the Cavaliers rested for the night in Portland before setting off from Portland Airport the next day to return to Cleveland.
Before departure, Lin Yu scanned the newsstands at the airport as usual. Everywhere he looked, there were negative reports related to the knights.
Lin Yu didn't care, and directly asked for a copy of Sports Illustrated and a copy of the Portland Daily News, and then followed the footsteps of the large army and boarded the plane.
On the plane, the atmosphere of the team was a bit gloomy. The most obvious difference from usual was that no one was joking or playing with each other.
There has always been a habit, or tradition, of the Cavaliers' special planes going to away games or returning home from away games, that is, teammates will gather together to take photos and post them on their respective social networking sites after returning.
But this time, no one proposed it.
Indeed, with 1 win and 5 losses in the away game, everyone felt depressed, so they were no longer in the mood to joke or take photos or entertain themselves.
Lin Yu has also changed. He no longer stood up to boost morale when the team's morale was low, as he did in last season's finals.
Because Lin Yu knew that this team could no longer belong to him.
James did not stand up. This guy does not have the temperament of a team leader. When negative emotions such as anger, frustration, etc. take over his personal consciousness, James will only be immersed in his own world and unable to extricate himself.
Under this situation, the Cavaliers, who lack a true team leader, can only gradually sink in this low morale state.
After a few hours of journey, Lin Yu and his teammates returned to Cleveland.
But what greeted them was overwhelming criticism, criticism and doubts from all walks of life, and this was exactly what Lin Yu wanted to see.
Immediately after getting off the plane, Lin Yu bought two more newspapers, the Cleveland Honesty and the Willoughby News-Chronicle. One was biased towards LeBron James in terms of public opinion, and the other was biased towards Lin Yu.
When he opened the Cleveland Honest Daily and saw the report of 1 win and 5 losses on this away trip, Lin Yu immediately felt dumbfounded.
"Both efficiency and scoring have declined. What happened to China Lin?"
The meaning of this title is too obvious, it is to throw all the blame for losing the game to Lin Yu.
After scanning the articles carefully, Lin Yu had already walked slowly outside the airport, and Amanda Gray had already driven there and was waiting there.
She opened the car door for Lin Yu, and then asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
“The Honest Daily, an article titled ‘Efficiency and scores have declined, what happened to China’s Lin’.”
"I also read this article, Brian Windhorst's masterpiece. He believes that the Cavaliers' current bad state is all because of you. Your efficiency has declined, your points have decreased, and you have not been able to do anything in January.
Not a superstar-level player."
Lin Yu shook his head: "His article is too deceptive. Coupled with my data support, I am afraid that many fans will believe this guy's argument."
Raising his head, he saw Amanda Gray nodding in agreement.
Lin Yu paused for a moment, and then thought: "I'm afraid this will affect my ranking in the All-Star voting."
Amanda Gray, who was driving the car, immediately shook her head again: "That's not true. Your lead in the first stage is too big. For a while, the people behind you won't be able to catch up."
"But the second phase of voting lasts for a month. In the short term, those behind will have little hope. If it goes on for a long time, the chance of being overtaken is too high."
Lin Yu didn't want to throw away the voting crown that he had almost won, so he decided to do something.
While opening another copy of the Willoughby News and Chronicle, Lin Yu asked: "What do you think I can do to reverse the current situation?"
Amanda Gray thought for a moment: "Two methods, one is very intense and the other is very peaceful, which one do you choose?"
"Let's talk about it."
"Let's talk about the peaceful ones first. First, use more means to fight for the ball. After one or two outstanding performances, before encountering a strong opponent, use the excuse of injury to take a truce and let LeBron lead the team alone.
, if he leads the team to lose, then the problem has nothing to do with you."
Ping He's method is very simple, which is to use his performance on the field to respond to Brian Windhorst. This is the most direct method, but it also requires Lin Yu to be patient.
Lin Yu shook his head secretly and chose to continue listening to the fierce method.
"A drastic approach is easier, but that will put you at odds with the Cavaliers and LeBron James."
"Tear each other down?" Lin Yu became interested.
After the team's record became poor and the problems and conflicts within the team became obvious, he was worried about how to take the next step. But now, Amanda Gray told him that there was a way to directly break up the relationship.
At that time, Lin Yu's desire for knowledge became very strong.
"As far as I know, in the next few games, your opponents are still not weak. For example, you have to play the Celtics three times, and you have to return home to play the Suns and Spurs again, so you can wait a few more games.
Game, wait until the Cavaliers' record becomes completely rotten."
"Finally, before a certain game in the future, accept an interview and tell all the reporters who interview you the real reason for the decline of the Cavaliers' record."
Lin Yu's eyes lit up, and he saw the dawn of leaving the knight.
"I got it, Amanda!"
Amanda Gray reminded Lin Yu that he already had his specific ideas, but unlike Amanda Gray's proposal, he was not prepared to wait any longer.
The reason is simple. Because of Lian Ke's poor record, James has returned to the same person he was in November and started passing the ball to Lin Yu.
And when the team's record does not improve, James will obviously continue to pass the ball to Lin Yu in the next few strong duels...
Therefore, Lin Yu could not wait any longer, he had to start his plan immediately.
The time is set before the next game, before the Cavaliers face the Spurs at home.
"So, you want to attack before the next game?"
Amanda Gray immediately understood Lin Yu's thoughts: "In that case, I will activate my connections in the media industry, find more media reporters, and completely inflame the conflict."
"So, now can I just think about where I should go next?"
Lin Yu made a joke, and Amanda Gray immediately smiled: "I'm afraid it's not enough. If the contradiction is completely revealed, the first reaction of the Cavaliers management should be to persuade."
Lin Yu understood in an instant: "I understand, after all, we are trying to persuade peace rather than division, but LeBron and I have already had differences that are difficult to reconcile in terms of personal values, and we can't get back together. The management will soon understand this."
