“这支球队已经没救了”2003年,当骑士队得到NBA头号选秀权时,整个克利夫兰都沉浸在喜悦之中,因为他们能选到自家的“天之骄子”。所有人把希望寄托在18岁的詹姆斯身上:骑士球迷希望詹姆斯为他们带来冠军戒指;球队老板希望在詹姆斯身上收回投资;速贷球馆周围的小贩,以及克利夫兰市中心酒吧,也都把发财的希望寄托在詹姆斯身上。为什么会这样?因为克利夫兰这座没落的中等工业化城市已经快半个世纪没有触碰到职业体育的冠军了,而骑士更是在NBA联盟挣扎许久,从来没有进入过总决赛。老资格的骑士球迷甚至会告诉你,当勒布朗出生的时候,这支球队差点死了。
“This team has been saved ” When Cleveland won the NBA No. 1 pick in 2003, the entire Cleveland are immersed in joy, because they can choose their own “pride.” Everyone pin their hopes on 18-year-old James: Knight fans want James to bring them championship rings; team owners want to recover their investment in James; hawkers around Rapid Arena, and downtown Cleveland bars, Fortune hopes pinned on James. Why is this? Because Cleveland, the declining, mid-industrial city has not touched the professional sports champion for nearly half a century, and the Cavaliers are in the NBA for a long time, never entered the finals. Known veteran fans even tell you that when LeBron was born, the team was almost dead.
