The Cavaliers announced the dismissal of David Blatt as the team's head coach, with first assistant coach Tyronn Lue taking over as interim head coach.

The news shocked fans and the media.

Although before the All-Star break, many radical fans were calling for Blatt to be fired, those were mostly just angry words aimed at the team's poor performance.

And that was only a very small number.

Blatt had more than 20 years of stellar coaching experience in European leagues, winning 11 championships in 6 years in Israel, winning the European Championship as the coach of Russia, and also winning an Olympic bronze medal at the London Olympics. He was a standard-bearer of a famous coach.

He also showed a coaching level consistent with his reputation in his year or so with the Cavaliers.

In his first year, he led the newly formed Big Three to the Finals, and the team's record so far this season is also much better than the same period last year.

The Cavaliers just fired such a coach like that, which can only be said that the team's management is really capricious.

However, the Cavaliers' performance fluctuated greatly before and after the All-Star Game, and there was a lot of external pressure, and the team needed someone to take the blame.

The team's head coach has always been the best person to play that role.

It seems that the Pelicans' double-kill and big win became the last straw that broke Blatt's back.

But the internal news subsequently revealed by Woj continued to ferment the matter.

According to Woj's report, as early as before the All-Star Game, some players in the Cavaliers team questioned Blatt's coaching style.

It is speculated that this player may be Anderson Varejao, who was traded away.

He raised the idea of star players taking the lead in defense, in response to the team's defensive problems.

This proposal was adopted by head coach Blatt, and in training he asked James, Irving, and Love to take the lead in defense.

At that time, James was unhappy with Blatt's statement, although he did not question it on the spot.

But in private conversations with friends, he felt unhappy about it, because he was the best defender on the Cavaliers.

In any case, this incident created a gap between James and Blatt.

This is also the reason why James did not stand up for Blatt when Blatt was questioned by the outside world.

After that, the Cavaliers lost to the Pelicans, and Blatt criticized the team's defensive performance in front of James after the game, which further exacerbated this contradiction.

Tyronn Lue observed the situation and realized the conflict between his superior and James, and he once tried to get the two to sit down and communicate.

But this approach was rejected by Blatt, who felt that he had done nothing wrong as head coach and there was no need for it.

After that, the Cavaliers' record continued to fluctuate, and the conflict between the two further intensified.

This conflict also attracted the attention of the team's management, and the All-Star Game gave Blatt a chance to breathe.

But unfortunately, the team's record still did not improve after the All-Star Game.

The Cavaliers management could not turn a blind eye to this continued performance.

After communicating with general manager David Griffin and James' team, they finally made the decision to dismiss Blatt.

And Tyronn Lue, who had a good relationship with James, was good at interpersonal relationships, and also possessed considerable tactical creativity, became the successor.

It is said that James' team is very satisfied with Lue, which also allows the management to not continue looking for a new head coach this season.

The inside story revealed by Woj is progressive and looks quite authentic.

Moreover, with his past accuracy in breaking news, this has made many fans, and even the management of other teams, deeply convinced.

This has also led to fans' extensive complaints about James on social media.

"I'm really convinced, I didn't let the Heat management choose Tang Tian in the first place, and now I'm firing Blatt from the Cavaliers management, LeBron is the team owner!"

"It is said that interfering with the management, the more Tang Yue interferes with the Pelicans, the stronger they are, the more LeBron interferes, the more chaotic the team is... If you don't have the talent, isn't it good to be a player?"

"The most feared is this kind of thing, you see how bad Jordan is now as a boss, but people were sensible at the beginning, if you don't have the talent, just be a player!"

"I'm putting my words here, the Cavaliers can't win a championship with this kind of thing, the Pelicans will win the championship this season, and the league's number one officially changes hands."

……

Woj's relationship with James' team was already bad, and this revelation caused James to suffer unprecedented external questioning.

Even as fans said on social media, they are now looking forward to the Pelicans being able to beat the Cavaliers to win the championship.

In that case, Tang Tian, who is outstanding in strength and has a good image, can completely establish himself as the number one player in the league.

"He always likes to attract attention in that way, he talks as if he appeared at the fictional Gilbert and my team's communication venue, as if he appeared at the so-called scene where I communicated with my friends?

If he didn't, how would he know these things? And the details he said are like he experienced it himself, does he really regard himself as God?"

Woj's revelations damaged James' reputation, and in front of the media, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and directly confronted Woj.

What James said is not unreasonable, it is not once or twice that reporters fabricate stories to attract gimmicks.

Woj is a famous reporter, who mainly focuses on accurate revelations, but he still can't get rid of his identity as a reporter.

Truth and falsehood, except for the parties involved, no one can really say clearly.

Under pressure from James' team, Woj finally deleted the previous report.

But what can be seen from this series of events is that the Cavaliers are now internally turbulent.

The most uncomfortable person at this time may be the team owner Gilbert.

During the James 1.0 era, he structured the team according to his own ideas, but the team stopped in the Finals year after year.

In the James 2.0 era, he spent a lot of money and went crazy, but now the team looks precarious.

In such an environment, the Cavaliers held a press conference for Tyronn Lue's inauguration the day after firing Blatt.

The team was turbulent, but Lue looked good, and he responded fluently to the reporters' sharp questions.

"David is a very good coach, I have been under him for more than a year, I can be very sure of this, but I also believe that the management's decision is correct, the team has not performed well recently, we need some changes."

Lue's speaking skills are still very good.

"I will give the players more freedom on the court, we are a team with LeBron, Kyrie, and Kevin, they are the best players at each position in this league, especially LeBron, he is experienced, he has experienced too many situations, he is very good at dealing with the situation on the court."

When asked by reporters what changes the Cavaliers would make, Lue replied without hesitation.
