In the years that followed, except for famous players like A. Smith, ESPN's coverage of James was very positive.

It's obvious that these negative reports are so concentrated, because people with a team can't wait to get on board, and they don't even want to pretend anymore.

However, just as the Lakers will risk their lives to trade for Davis this time, where James is, there will always be many things that refresh the lower limit.

Moreover, it is also accompanied by various attempts to use the media's voice to dominate the fans' thoughts.

This familiar operation makes it difficult not to doubt it.

Durant obviously knows this too.

Because in addition to these, their fan groups will also launch attacks on social media.

Durant can be regarded as the "main attacker" who has played against them many times. Those trumpets with different names are all his fighting history.

But just before he spoke, Kobe laughed.

It was not a contemptuous smile, nor was it self-deprecating, but simply relaxed.

Lin Ying could feel that Kobe was not angry because of these reports. On the contrary, he seemed quite happy.

He was surprised at first, but soon he seemed to understand why Kobe reacted like this.

Character, in the final analysis, is still a matter of character.

Kobe is more paranoid, but he is also more emotional.

If after he chooses to leave the Lakers, the Lakers media and fans are reluctant to keep him, he may be very entangled.

But now this outcry made him feel relieved.

This way he won't feel like he owes anything, because from the team to the media to the fans, he doesn't owe anything.

Next, he can put aside the Lakers label he has carried for the past two decades and compete for his fifth championship as a Nets player.

There is no psychological burden and no feeling of guilt.

So this wave of action by James and his team has actually done Kobe a favor.

After understanding this, Lin Ying also laughed.

At this time, only Durant, who had not yet reacted, looked at the two of them blankly, not knowing what happened.

…

Miami.

Wade is on vacation at the beach.

Unlike history, Wade returned to Miami in the previous Anthony trade and brought a short-lived revival to the Heat.

After the contract expired, he also renewed a 2+1 contract with the Heat.

Because considering the age relationship, this contract is not long.

But the past year has not been a good experience for Wade, because the Heat's overall performance struggled and he was also troubled by an old knee injury.

It is no exaggeration to say that he suffered both physical and mental torture last season.

So during the offseason, he gave his knees a holiday and also gave himself a holiday, enjoying rare leisure time on the beach.

He is currently chatting with his wife about Kobe's comeback, and his expression is slightly excited.

When he debuted that year, Kobe was not only the number one player in the league, but also the number one shooting guard in the league, and was the target of Wade's pursuit.

When he reached his peak in 2006, the two of them had sympathy for each other as rivals. After that, they competed in the Olympics together in 2008, which made the two of them extremely close.

The most classic one is that year’s Christmas Day game. After Kobe Bryant defeated the Heat with an archery shot on horseback, Wade said angrily:

"If that person wasn't Kobe, I would smash up their locker room."

Kobe is the target that Wade is chasing and the motivation for Wade to continue to struggle in the league.

Wade's sluggish performance last season, in addition to what has been said, is also an important factor.

Kobe's retirement made him instantly lose the motivation to continue fighting in the league.

But now that Kobe is back, he feels like he is alive again.

Of course, it is inevitable to feel a little emotional after laughing.

Although Kobe is back and has come to the Eastern Conference, he is expected to retire after playing for only one year at most.

And if he goes to the Nets, it will probably be difficult to play against him in the playoffs.

While he was thinking this, he suddenly felt that the light in front of him was blocked by someone.

Because he was wearing sunglasses, he couldn't see clearly at first, but when he took them off and saw who was coming, he immediately started laughing.

Hug, beat your chest, and laugh at the same time as the other person.

The person coming is James.

Although the initial cooperation with the Knicks ended on bad terms, and the way James left in the end was also very dishonorable, it even seemed a bit like he was getting rid of him and Bosh.

However, that does not impress the feelings between them.

As representatives of the 03 generation and close friends in private, their playing experience will not affect them too much.

“How is life in Los Angeles?”

After the two people said hello and sat down, Wade asked James with a smile.

"It's great. The beaches there are better than here, and it's not as hot there, but it's quieter than New York. It's a great place to live."

James was full of praise when he mentioned Los Angeles.

It was obvious that he fell in love with the city of Los Angeles.

Wade smiled and shook his head, then handed James the soda that he had not yet drank on the table.

"Then why are you willing to come to me?"

he asked with a smile.

James did not answer immediately, but smiled and took a sip of soda, and then looked at Wade mysteriously.
