Chapter 278 The road to defending the title

"We are ready to win our first championship trophy in the history of our team. I believe this year is the best chance. We have the best players on the planet and the best head coach. I don't think we have any

An unexpected opportunity." As the owner of the Cavaliers, Gilbert seemed very excited when being interviewed by reporters.

When a reporter asked him about his prediction of the score of the entire series in the finals, he even expressed his hope to sweep the Timberwolves.

"Of course it would be best to win the cup at Quicken Loans Arena. I believe this is the most memorable moment for all our fans. I think this opportunity is very great. I also believe that all our players should

Aim for this.”

It can be said from this passage that we can see how much Gilbert hopes to defeat the Timberwolves.

During this time, the media was also hyping up the feud between the Timberwolves and the Cavaliers.

In particular, the several trading partners between the Timberwolves and the Cavaliers were the key targets pursued by media reporters during this period.

Antetokounmpo, who went from the Bucks to the Timberwolves to the Cavaliers, is naturally no exception.

When it comes to resentment towards the Timberwolves and Chen Dazhuang, I am afraid that Antetokounmpo is no less resentful than James. Before coming to the Cavaliers, he felt that he had a good chance to become the main force or even the core of the Timberwolves, because at that time the team really attached great importance to his training, but in

After coming to the Cavaliers, it was completely different.

When he came, Brown, the head coach of the Cavaliers at that time, asked him to do more of the dirty work of the blue collar. He treated him as a blue collar worker. This was a huge difference for Antetokounmpo, and this

It was then that he could clearly feel the difference between being with the Timberwolves and being with the Cavaliers.

Later, after Brown left, he thought his chance had come.

Who knew that James would suddenly return? No matter which head coach would choose, I'm afraid no one would have to choose the third position.

If there is James' Cavaliers, then the team belongs to James.

Besides, even without James, Giannis Antetokounmpo will not be the leader of the team, because there are still Irving and Love on the team, so James' presence in the team will be even lower.

At this time, this sense of disparity made Antetokounmpo not regret his original actions, but became even more resentful towards the Timberwolves, including Chen Dazhuang.

In Antetokounmpo's mind, his original request was very reasonable, but the team and Chen Dazhuang gave up on him, preferring to choose players like Yi Jianlian. This was entirely because Chen Dazhuang was Chinese.

, if it weren’t for this reason, I should have become the core of the team by now.

"Giannis, what do you think about the next Finals?"

"Needless to say, we will definitely win the championship. My teammates and I are very much looking forward to lifting the trophy at our home court. I believe that will be the most memorable moment in my career."

"Do you mean you will win the championship 4-0?"

"Of course, of course it is. I don't think it is a difficult thing. All of us are very confident about it."

"However, the Timberwolves were the championship last season, and this season they eliminated the Rockets and Warriors. Doesn't that mean something?"

"Yes, they were just the championship last season. I don't think their lineup can compare with ours. And I always think they were just lucky last season."

Hearing Antetokounmpo's answer, the reporter who was interviewing grinned. This topic has come up, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was still not enough, so he asked another question to add fuel to the fire.

"Giannis, can you tell me what happened when you left the Timberwolves?"

"There's nothing that can't be said. Chen is a dictator and a nepotistic guy. I even think he doesn't understand the NBA at all. The reason why I left the Timberwolves is because he didn't know what I wanted, so in the end I chose to leave. . ”

"Is this guy crazy?" After the interview ended and Antetokounmpo left, the reporter on the side said in disbelief.

"Whatever, I don't know if he's crazy or not. All I know is that we made a lot of money this time. I'll write about it carefully when I get back. Won't there be headlines tomorrow?"

"Don't this guy know that TNT is standing behind Chen? He is a guy who even the league president doesn't take seriously. How dare he, a rotation player, even LeBron dare not stand up and say these things now? ."

"Whatever, let's go."

"This guy is finished."

The next day, a local Cleveland tabloid ran an article on its front page.

The title is "Dictator!" The article exaggerated all of Antetokounmpo's comments about Chen Dazhuang in an interview with reporters, and claimed that Giannis Antetokounmpo died because Chen Dazhuang wanted to sign Yi Jianlian.

Before the finals came, the major media were worried about not being able to find news to hype, because Chen Dazhuang issued a hush-hush order on the team and started closed preparations, strictly prohibiting players from being interviewed, so these reporters saw After the tabloid report, the guy was like a shark smelling blood.

One after another began to reprint it in their own pages, and some unscrupulous tabloids didn't even bother to conduct interviews and just started concocting news.

"Is this guy sick? He's been acting like a mad dog for so long." Smith pointed at the news in the newspaper and said to Chen Dazhuang.

"Whatever, what are you going to do with a guy who doesn't even have the chance to play?"

Da Zhuang had no interest in the reports of these reporters at all. Although he said he didn't care about the knights, as the old saying goes, you should despise the enemy strategically, but you must pay attention to it tactically.

In Chen Dazhuang's opinion, there is no need to pay attention to these quarrels.

On the other hand, after the Timberwolves players found out, they all eagerly expressed that if they met this guy in a game, they must give him some advice.

In fact, after Antetokounmpo left the Timberwolves, Da Zhuang still felt guilty. He felt that this transaction was likely to directly destroy the future superstars of the league. Later, he also paid attention to Antetokounmpo's development in the Cavaliers. It was indeed like As he said, it is still unknown whether Antetokounmpo will be able to play.

James can play the entire game at the third position. If the Cavaliers can gain a big advantage, they might have a chance to play. But if the Cavaliers are at a disadvantage, haha, then it's really unknown.

In addition, when James came back from the Heat, he also brought Jones with him, who is also Antetokounmpo's competitor.
