"Chasing points isn't scary, it's embarrassing for those not on the court."
What's more embarrassing is that these 8 points were brought out by LeBron leading the team.
Internally and externally, that's essentially a 16-point difference.
With such a stark contrast, how could LeBron James sit still?
Even with Su Wan's harsh words ringing in his head, he had to request to get back on the court.
Paul Silas only hesitated for a second.
That second wasn't spent considering whether to bring LeBron back in, but deciding who to take out.
Calderon heard Silas call his name, saw LeBron preparing to come in, and with a slight pursing of his lips, resignedly accepted it all… he had just started to get into the groove.
"Well done!"
What comforted Calderon was that, as he walked past Silas, he received praise from the coach.
For him, it was a tremendous encouragement.
At least for this game, his performance was noticed by Silas.
He wasn't Su Wan.
