Behind one championship is 10 years of blood and tears! LeBron James s Cleveland s Episode of Episode

In the summer of 2003, when the Cleveland Cavaliers won the No. 1 pick with trembling hands, the entire Rust Belt Industrial City was shouting a name: LeBron James. This Akron boy came with the mission of reviving his hometown basketball. In the seventh game of the 2016 Finals, when Irving's three-pointer broke through the Oakland night sky, James' kneeling and crying became the most moving redemption in sports history - he fulfilled his promise to bring back the championship for Cleveland. But behind the champion Champagne is the Long March of loneliness that has been soaked in sweat and tears for more than ten years. In 2003, when he first entered the league, 18-year-old James had not even experienced the tempering of the college league, but he promoted the Cavaliers' victory by 18 games in his rookie season. When Ricky Davis was still proclaiming in the locker room that "James is here to assist me", the young emperor had used 20.9+5.9+5.5 all-around data to tear apart the doubts. The next year, he evolved into a top engine of 27.2+7.4+7.2, but was blocked outside the playoffs by a slight difference for two consecutive years - fate gave the Chosen a cruel preview class. The real turning point was in the Eastern Conference Finals in 2007. When the Pistons Barrel Formation forced the Cavaliers into a desperate situation, 22-year-old James performed a miracle at Auburn Hills Palace: he took charge of the team's last 30 points, and scored 25 points in a row to end the game! This night he was no longer a talented high school student, but a conqueror who carried the entire city to enter the finals. Although he was swept by the experienced Spurs later, Popovich's prophecy, "The future is yours" has been burning in Cleveland.

When the three Celtic giants emerged, James's struggle became even more tragic. In the tiebreak of the 2008 Eastern Conference semi-finals, he scored 45 points and still drank with 5 points. The floor of TD Garden Arena was soaked in unwilling sweat. The next year he made a comeback, leading the team to win 66 wins to win the MVP for the first time, but fell under the Magic's three-pointer rain - the epic data averaged 38.5+8.3+8 per game turned into silent tears on the floor of the locker room. The most painful thing was that he lost to the Celtics again in 2010. He used his left hand to close the penalty, and the severe pain of torn ligament in his elbow was far less than the despair of losing again. The tragedy of the 2015 finals reached its peak. Love's shoulder was dislocated and Irving's knee fractured. James took role players such as Mozgov and Dravidova to grab two wins from the 73-win Warriors. When he scored 40+14+11 alone in G5 but staggered to the ground, when the Warriors' five small lineup dragged down the Cavaliers' last bit of strength, amid the cheers of the Oracle Arena, the figure who was so tired that he needed the support of his teammates, wrote about the ultimate loneliness of heroism.

After 48 minutes of the 2018 Eastern Conference Finals, he fell into the locker room and needed to recover from oxygen; G1 scored 51 points in the finals but failed due to JR Smith's bizarre mistake. When the final whistle sounded, the dull sound of his fist slamming the closet was the last declaration of resistance left to Cleveland - he had shed the last drop of blood for his hometown.

When you relive the reversal of 2016, please don't forget the long night of the previous thirteen years. It was the sharp edge of the Pistons in 2007, the magnificent victory of 66 in 2009, and the death battle in desperate situations in 2015, which piled up the base of the O'Brien Cup. James used 11 years to carve this truth on the floor of the Quick Loan Center: Greatness never came quickly in the spotlight, but in the corner where no one cares, watering the most stubborn flowers with blood and tears. When the championship flag flutters in the Cleveland dome, the burgundy color deposits the most profound legend of lone brave in NBA history.
