The intention to deliberately shape himself and Qin Yue as flags of the NBA.
Undoubtedly.
If you don’t understand Jas’ childhood, you absolutely cannot comprehend where his shrewdness cos from.
In fact, on the eve of LeBron Jas being introduced to the public eye by The New York Tis...
For a long ti, Eddie Jackson, the man he once called "father," had already profoundly influenced him.
Although in Qin Yue’s past life, many of LeBron Jas’ fans liked to wash away Eddie Jackson’s background and portray him as a so-called "mid-level official" to prove his sponsorship of Jas and his mother was aboveboard...
But actually, even LeBron Jas himself couldn’t explain how Jackson supported them back then through unknown ans.
Back in Jas’ childhood, Jackson had been imprisoned for extortion.
And when Jas was in high school, although Jackson had already broken up with Jas’ mother Gloria at that ti, Jackson never stopped supporting Jas and his mother.
Including the first car in Jas’ life, as well as the mansion where Jas once temporarily stayed...
Even when Jackson was jailed again for real estate fraud while Jas was in high school, people speculated whether it was related to Jackson needing a lot of money to support Jas and his mother.
Not understanding, just ask... How could soone like Jackson, who did no good for society except benefiting Jas and his mother, and who was always in jail for extortion and fraud, be so-called "mid-level officials"?
Was every sponsorship he gave to Jas and his mother clean?
This is LeBron Jas’ childhood.
It was full of darkness; even relying on Jackson’s illegal earnings for survival.
Therefore, during Jas’ growth, he understood a truth earlier than all his peers.
That is, to achieve his goals at any cost, he must beco shrewder than those around him.
This shrewdness, accompanying his official entrance into the public eye by The New York Tis, would grow step by step with his ambition.
This sumr, through the China trip with Qin Yue, Jas had already sensed the promising prospects of the Chinese market.
The group of brothers around Jas were destined not to understand why LeBron would painstakingly flatter Qin Yue, even if it ant becoming a sycophant in front of Qin Yue.
Because they didn’t have Jas’ experiences, nor did they understand what kind of weight Qin Yue held in the future blueprint of the Nike Empire.
Although at certain tis, Jas would also envy Qin Yue.
For example, Qin Yue’s "Goodnight, Los Angeles."
But after calming down, Jas knew... he had to suppress this jealousy.
Because only in this way...
Could he coexist in the NBA with Qin Yue, the "ssiah," as the "Chosen One."
In Jas’ eyes, the NBA is big enough to accommodate two flagship superstars.
Cleveland needed a Chosen One.
Oakland certainly could also have their ssiah.
...
On the evening of the 18th, Qin Yue, entering Oracle Arena in his new sneakers, hadn’t even had a good feel of what makes this pair of new shoes different...
He was stomped three tis by Yao Ming in the traditional Chinese way of welcoming new shoes...
At that mont, looking at the nearly 300-pound Chinese giant before him, Qin Yue said with a wry smile: "Bro... are you hoping I retire tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Yao Ming, who even wanted to stomp a few more tis, said: "I didn’t even use my strength, stop pretending."
I have to say, compared to the polite well-wishes, Qin Yue preferred this way of congratulating from Yao Ming.
As this season’s highly anticipated Chinese Derby in the NBA...
Both Yao Ming and Qin Yue, who beca NBA top picks in 2002 and 2005 respectively, have already beco the light of Asia in the eyes of Chinese-Arican fans.
This night, whether it was the Warriors team, gradually conquered by Qin Yue, or the player in the Rockets lineup who still hadn’t woken up...
Everyone knew, this night was destined to belong only to Yao Ming and Qin Yue.
Before the ga, hordes of journalists who traveled from China almost sward around Qin Yue and Yao Ming.
But contrary to the imagined harmonious atmosphere by these Chinese journalists...
Even before the ga began, Yao Ming and Qin Yue had already expressed their attitudes in interviews.
"I don’t like the idea that this ga would be a friendly match. Once I start playing, I will go all out," Yao Ming remarked to the dia before the ga.
And compared to Yao Ming’s subtlety...
Qin Yue straightforwardly said: "Tonight, only one of Yao Ming and I is destined to ’walk’ out alive."
Even though after Yao Ming and Qin Yue’s interviews, Chinese journalists felt these two were intentionally building up the pre-battle atmosphere...
But they might not believe it if it’s said...
In the NBA, crowned for its challenges and burdens...
Neither Yao Ming nor Qin Yue liked bringing off-court friendships onto the court.
Just like Chris Paul, who, in order to guard the Jazz’s paint, could fearlessly stand before Qin Yue, and Qin Yue wouldn’t give him any face, slamming the ball into the basket right in front of him.
In Qin Yue’s eyes, the NBA is indeed too small.
Because only one team can reach the end each year.
So...
The NBA is destined to need only one ssiah.
At Oracle Arena, with the sound of the Overlord’s Battle Song rising, amidst the thunderous drum sounds, as Qin Yue proudly stepped toward the court, he almost instantly felt the murderous aura coming from the opposite half-court.
This was Yao Ming.
The next mont, Qin Yue decisively made his response to Yao Ming.
As he pointed his finger at Yao Ming, with a slight bend of his fingertip, then said in the quietest mont of the arena as the flashlights reignited:
"Co at !"
