Chapter 156 of "Champion Creed" starts with dramatic events: "Uh... so Michael, how do you evaluate LeBron’s debut performance?" Michael Jordan resisted the urge to... Discover what happens!

"Uh... so Michael, how do you evaluate LeBron’s debut performance?" Michael Jordan resisted the urge to blurt out "his performance was a pile of crap," and simply nodded slightly: "LeBron is just a rookie, and this is only a rookie’s first game, it doesn’t mean anything." After saying that, Michael Jordan got up and left the press conference, leaving James alone. It was James’ first time seeing Michael Jordan so cold, so angry. Also, it was the first time he heard Jordan call him a "rookie." He thought Jordan would address him with more respect. Rumors about Jordan and Chris Webber began to echo in James’ mind. Soon, another reporter asked: "LeBron, will this loss affect your relationship with Michael? We all know Michael is crazily competitive, he might blame his teammates after a loss, will this happen in the Cavaliers?" James answered decisively: "No matter what, my relationship with Michael will never change, nor will it sway, he is always my big brother. It’s a bad start, but we’ll make things better, we definitely will." Back in the locker room, James found that Michael Jordan had smashed hangers all over the place. This loss made Jordan feel humiliated; he waited six years, full of confidence expecting this night, only to be beaten by two rookies into a mess. The most embarrassing part was that Roger, that bastard, came to watch him make a fool of himself, and he truly saw it! So, when he saw James walk in, Jordan stared at him with sharp eyes. James swore, this was an expression he had never seen from Jordan before. It was like an emperor looking at his soldiers, no emotion, only command and pressure. Jordan stared at James, saying word by word: "LeBron, in future games, you better perform better than today!" "Of course, Michael." Will their relationship never change? LeBron James once again doubted the words he had spoken. The next day, the Cleveland Cavaliers still became the focus of the entire league. Because they were known as a joke. Jordan and James were like the "Key & Peele" of 2012, becoming the most entertaining Black brothers. Every word they said before the season became a joke. Especially Jordan’s claim that "I can do better than Roger and Amar’e," which was simply a source of delight for the fans. Charles Barkley played the highlight reel of Jordan and James’ mistakes in the show, laughing out loud: "LeBron always freaks out like he’s seen a ghost when he sees Yao, throwing the ball away instantly, and poor Michael ends up catching it every time. This duo is too funny, one keeps passing the ball to the other in the last few seconds of the shot clock, I can’t tell if it’s too selfless or too selfish." Michael Jordan might not be able to do better than Roger, but Roger shouldn’t feel satisfied just because he overshadowed the small Michael Jordan. He still had his troubles to resolve. In the second game of the regular season, the Warriors’ opponent was last season’s Western Champion San Antonio Spurs. However, the Warriors, who managed to handle the Pistons in the last game, lost to the Spurs. In this game, Stademeyer primarily defended the Admiral — because last season he didn’t win the championship, so in this history, the Admiral didn’t choose to retire and continued to fight in the NBA. Mutombo mainly guarded that poker-faced, cold joke enthusiast, most of the time, Mount Mutombo defended well. But now, this Mutombo of unknown age had limited stamina, in high-level, high-intensity games, his stamina could only last about 25 minutes. Last game, Mutombo had this problem, when the game was going into the latter parts, Mutombo let Double Wallace grab several offensive rebounds because he couldn’t jump or secure positions. And today, his stamina decline was evident as he couldn’t keep up with Tim Duncan. When Mutombo started to tire, Duncan’s low post plays were incredibly easy. The Warriors once substituted Marcus Camby for Mutombo to defend, but after Camby came on, Duncan had his way even more, the defensive effect was even worse than when Mutombo was tired! Camby simply wasn’t giving it his all, and in order to rack up stats, he’d recklessly jump whenever Duncan lifted the basketball. In the end, Marcus Camby blocked Duncan twice, but the actual defensive effect? It was beyond words. Duncan ultimately scored 36 points, Tony Parker 18 points, and the emerging Argentina Demon Blade 15 points, as the Spurs broke the Warriors’ first home game. After the game, back in the locker room, Hubie Brown, at the end of his patience, gave Camby a harsh scolding: "I’ve had enough of your stat-padding basketball, you selfish bastard, you play like LeBron James! His assists are built on seven turnovers, your blocks are built on countless mispositions!" "You play like LeBron James," the impact of these words showed for the first time, Marcus Camby felt highly insulted and got up wanting to leave. But Mutombo blocked his way: "Kid, you can’t do that, we’re all working hard for the team, aren’t you part of the team?" Camby still didn’t speak, but roughly pushed Mutombo away, causing Mutombo’s head to hit the locker. Then, Camby tried to open the locker room door without any remorse to leave, but before stepping out, someone from behind kicked him hard out of the locker room. The fallen Camby looked back to see number 14, his face was livid. "Starting today, you’re officially DNP." Camby, angry, got up, but next came a loud "bang." Roger directly shut the locker room door.
