As early as the All-Star Weekend, James had fully realized that he couldn't coexist with Qin Yue... He absolutely valued this much-anticipated Cavaliers vs Warriors game more than anyone else.
In preparation for this game, in the past four, this season's average of nearly 40 minutes per game for the Cavaliers, "Young James," had only played a total of 120 minutes.
This even led to many James Fans being worried, thinking that James' historically great physique had been worn down by injuries.
The importance the team's star player placed on the game...
Also ensured that the Cavaliers could not treat this Cavaliers vs Warriors showdown as just another regular-season game.
Mo Williams specifically practiced three-pointers before the game, vowing to provide substantial outside shooting support for His Majesty, the King.
Vallejo and Gooden both made military pledges during the Cavaliers' strategy meetings, showing their attitude that they would not be cowardly lizards on the court.
