Chapter 284: Do the Knicks Have a Player Named "The Wall"? (Part 8)
Shaquille O'Neal: "Wrapped up, buddy!"
Moreover, LeBron's comment "Do the Knicks have a player named Wall?" triggered a wave of ridicule online, they really didn't expect LeBron to be this absurd:
"No way, LeBron, don't you know what a metaphor is?"
"OMG, is this a high schooler!? Don't tell me this is a high schooler!"
"This must be LeBron's deadpan humor, damn it, this has to be LeBron's deadpan humor!"
"Not going to college shows!"
"Everyone's a high schooler, why's there such a big gap?"
"Read more books, LeBron!"
Faced with these mockeries, LeBron opted for the most stubborn counterattack: "I'm an NBA player, why should I read more books, what good does reading do for me? Wouldn't it be better to play a couple more games?"
Then came the photos of Kevin Garnett hitting his head against the bench after a meltdown, which also sparked widespread discussion online, especially in Erin's reports contrasting his past fiery passion against a pillar with his current head-thumping "woodblock" appearance, forming a stark contrast...
"Wolf King" is old!
Moreover, many media outlets published pictures of him defeating the Kings years ago, shouting triumphantly to the sky while Chris Webber caressed his knee and collapsed, comparing them with his now desolate appearance, making him seem even more aged.
But no media analyzed the true reason behind Kevin Garnett's collapse.
These media believed Kevin Garnett's look was due to not being able to accept his own incompetence.
Yet, in reality, what truly broke Kevin Garnett was not just this defeat but his embarrassing stats, all clearly indicating that the New York Knicks' summer choice was so right, he really was not worth that much, just 5.5 million, no...
He wasn't even worth 5.5 million!
Many New York media mentioned this point:
"The most correct decision Donnie Walsh made was giving up on Kevin Garnett, he looks as if even getting a veteran contract would be a stretch!"
This is the real reason Kevin Garnett's defenses crumbled.
Another reason is:
He seemed really unable to touch the Championship Trophy even once!
Luckily...
No Championship, but there's still money!
Seeing these newspapers dubbing "Wolf King" as old, Kevin Garnett grumbled in his heart.
Then pretended he didn't care and clenched his fists.
Should've known to go to the New York Knicks back then!
Hmm...
He's still regretting it!
Now that the money's in his pocket, Kevin Garnett somewhat regrets not going to the New York Knicks!
While he was wallowing in self-pity, Howard entered the locker room, greeted Kevin Garnett upon entry, then his eyes scanned the room before settling back on Kevin Garnett:
"Kevin, have you seen Raymond?"
"He should've gone to practice extra at the training field, right?" Kevin Garnett showed a puzzled expression towards Howard, "What's up?"
Howard quickly waved his hand: "No, no, just have something to discuss with him! Since he's at the training field, I'll head over there!"
Speaking, he already changed clothes and dashed toward the training field.
Kevin Garnett showed a surprised expression, since when did this guy become so keen on training?
Perhaps I should head to the training field now too?
A surge of motivation came, but soon Kevin Garnett dismissed the idea.
Middle-aged, no longer in control, it's better to soak goji berries in a thermos!
"Raymond?"
As soon as he entered the training field, Howard saw LeBron with his bare chest shooting, greeted him enthusiastically.
LeBron turned and glanced at him.
Didn't speak, seemed his mood wasn't very high.
Howard also noticed the wave of ridicule online directed at LeBron, not surprised by this attitude, he consoled: "Don't take what these people say to heart, LeBron, they're just envious of our talent!"
LeBron agreed with this statement.
The ones criticizing him are all unhappy in life!
Howard also moved closer to LeBron.
Looking at his robust chest muscles and sharply defined muscle blocks, "Magic" couldn't help but swallow.
Is this guy really gay?
If he truly is...
In the community, that's considered "golden cream of the crop"!
LeBron seemed to notice his gaze, cursed mentally:
Pervert!
Hurriedly went to the side to put on his training clothes, seeing him do this fueled Howard's curiosity even more. Watching LeBron continue his shooting practice after dressing, Howard suddenly asked: "Raymond, are you gay?"
When these words were spoken, Howard clearly saw LeBron's hand tremble, followed by a direct air ball.
The ball hit the ground, creating a series of sounds, rolling into a corner, the training field fell silent.
After about two seconds, LeBron strongly replied: "Damn it, what are you saying? Dwight, what, how could this be possible? How the hell could I be gay?"
Seeing LeBron get more agitated with every word, Howard quickly waved his hand: "Don't get upset, Raymond, I was just joking with you!"
"This isn't funny at all, Dwight!" LeBron cursed.
But seeing his frantic look, Howard inexplicably became more convinced:
This damn guy is definitely gay!
Howard stated that eventually, he'll expose LeBron's true colors.
