Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 758 - 270: I Am the Reason, the Resentment from the 9th Point Guard in the NBA_3

Almost every day after training, James could see local fans outside the training ground holding banners like "We don't want a king without a crown" and "LeBron has never been the king."

James is well aware that his reputation in the basketball world might even decline further.

After all, in the NBA, who cares about the fate of the star player on a lousy team? 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

James noticed that in the upcoming 12/13 season, the Wolves would only have six games broadcasted nationally.

And the worst part is, two of these games are against the Warriors.

Why is it so bad?

Because considering the Wolves' current strength, they are bound to suffer a crushing defeat against top-tier teams like the Warriors, and James had considered sitting out with a groin injury.

But now, if James chooses to sit out...

It means, in the new season, he can only participate in four nationally televised games.

James never thought that one day even playing in nationally televised games would become a luxury.

To know that last season with the Knicks, counting the playoffs before he got DNP'd, James alone played in forty-nine nationally televised games.

In James' view, the long-term lack of exposure is destined to cause him to completely fall into the ranks of second-tier stars over time.

"Brown, no matter what others think, you must deliver convincing stats in the new season."

That day, one of the people around James, Randy Mims, said this to James.

However, listening to Randy's words, James immediately fell into a long reflection on life.

Beautiful stats?

Of course, James is confident that he can deliver high-end stats on the Wolves.

But...

Padding stats on a lousy team, no matter how hard, James doesn't think it means anything.

Especially with Qin Yue as the king of stats in the NBA.

Over the years, Qin Yue's exaggerated numbers on court have already raised people's expectations for NBA star stats.

Therefore, James knows better than anyone that even if he can deliver luxurious stats for the Wolves, it's hard for him to return to the center of the basketball world.

So the question arises.

What can James do?

The answer is, knowing that he cannot resist his fate for the next two years is precisely why James is so troubled.

However, heaven still favors James in the end.

Because until all the Warriors' preseason games concluded, Qin Yue was only then allowed to participate in the team's regular training sessions.

Therefore, as long as James seizes the opportunity to deliver a blow to the Warriors in the regular season opener when Qin Yue and several key Warriors players need to regain their form through play, James might gain the exposure he desires.

October 28.

The 12/13 NBA regular season officially begins.

That night, under James' leadership, the Wolves visited the Oracle Arena to participate in the Warriors' championship flag-raising ceremony and ring ceremony.

Before the game, torn between playing or not for most of the day, James decided to play in this game after all.

As for the Warriors...

Curry, who obtained permission to join training two weeks earlier than Qin Yue, already showcased an aura of "I must prove myself" during the pre-game warm-up.

Qin Yue knew that the recent media pressure on Curry has led him to play with a sense of grievance.

Therefore, considering that he indeed needed some game time to regain his form, Qin Yue immediately gathered his teammates.

"In this game, we need to pass the ball more to Stephen." Before the game started, Qin Yue told his teammates, "We need to show ESPN where Stephen ranks among point guards."

...

PS: Today there were indeed two 3-1 results; there's nothing to be done, in the NBA, player health always comes first. As for tomorrow, Ah Qiao bravely predicts, the Knight and Thunder should both win.
