There's no room for negotiation.
If he plays, I won't play.
One could say, Durant's dominance not only surprised the Knicks managent and the coaching staff, but also plunged Jas into the greatest career crisis of his life.
Jas never expected that the once ek and easily bullied Durant would be so tough this ti, as if he had eaten a dinosaur whip.
Moreover, what made Jas feel desolate was...
At Durant's request, the Knicks managent and coaching staff actually began seriously considering the possibility of giving himself a DNP.
"Brown, they aren't really going to choose to DNP you for 'KD', are they?"
Rich Paul, one of Jas' people, was the first to realize that Jas' current situation can only be described as extrely awkward.
Why was Jas able to wear the crown again in the Knicks?
Because at the ti, Jas was very popular within the Knicks and repeatedly helped the managent and coaching staff solve internal team problems.
However, since the Eastern Conference Finals...
Due to Jas' performance on the court not being enough to overshadow Durant, and Durant very determinedly regained his style on the court as the successor of Qin Yue.
Such a Durant is undoubtedly untouchable within the Knicks.
After all, Durant was the rookie selected by the Knicks themselves.
He carries the hope of revitalizing the entire Big Apple City.
It's no exaggeration to say...
As long as Durant can overco one aspect of his character and put on his Death God cloak, then in New York, with the torch always in his hand, he's truly unafraid of any so-called long night coming.
In this "Durant-Jas struggle", from the fans to the dia, New York will never abandon Durant in favor of Jas.
This plunged Jas into an unprecedented passive position in the public opinion.
Which ans Jas almost impossibly could use public opinion to turn the tables.
Initially, Jas thought Durant's accusations against him were simply the young man's attempt to restore his own rule.
But what Jas did not expect was that Durant is far more unreasonable than he imagined.
Because now, the Durant who actively ignited the flas clearly has him on the fire roasting.
If he truly gets DNP'd by the Knicks.
It would an not just an end to his future with the Knicks.
Additionally, this experience of being DNP'd in the Finals would inevitably beco a major stain in Jas' future career.
In fact, after Durant firmly expressed his stance, Jas considered if he could use his own submission to exchange for a step down for the other.
In Jas's dictionary, who is adept at assessing the situation, the knee must bend when necessary, has always been his way of dealing with matters.
It's just...
Jas' genuflection to Durant not only failed to change Durant's mind,
but instead made Durant further realize that for a player whose mind surpasses his own, willing to pay any price for personal gain, if he couldn't seize this opportunity to oust the opponent from New York, then in the future, he could very well be backstabbed by Jas again.
"The Knicks must be my team, and can only be my team."
Durant's toughness forced the Knicks managent and coaching staff to quickly choose between Jas and Durant.
However, this choice doesn't have any suspense.
Because shortly after the Knicks ergency internal eting ended, team owner Jas Dolan's implication that "LeBron is rely a hired gun, 'KD' is one of our own" imdiately made the Knicks managent understand what they had to do.
As proven in the NBA, no matter how the hired gun temporarily occupies a nest, he ultimately escapes the fate of being a hired gun.
About three hours later, the Knicks managent privately t with Jas' team.
And proposed to them, hoping Jas could withdraw from this year's Finals citing injury.
"You can't DNP LeBron!"
Randy Mims, one of Jas' n, was still striving for Jas, saying: "He's made contributions to the team, shed blood, he's one of today's best NBA players. Your decision to DNP LeBron will certainly beco a joke across the entire league in the future!"
In response, Knicks General Manager Donnie Walsh said, "It's not an easy decision, but we will not change it."
Another of Jas' associates, Maverick Carter, exclaid, "Ridiculous! Do you know how ridiculous your decision is? Just because of 'KD' and so childish behavior, you intend to DNP LeBron?"
Walsh replied helplessly, "You should know, within the Knicks, 'KD' is greater than everything."
Walsh's uncompromising tone left Jas' team in complete despair.
As for Jas himself?
"If you choose to treat this way, I will formally request a trade this sumr."
At that mont, knowing the situation was irreparable, Jas was filled with a deep sense of sadness, imdiately becoming anxious about his future.
Jas didn't know if, after leaving this strong Knicks team, he could still find a team capable of eting his championship aspirations.
Nor did he know if, after being DNP'd by the Knicks this ti, he would still be King Jas.
Without a doubt, this was absolutely Jas' most nostalgic mont of Cleveland.
The next day.
Before the start of Ga Two of the Finals, the Knicks officially announced that Jas would miss the remainder of the season's gas due to a recurrence of a groin injury.
