Chapter 30: The lame back kills the game
"Three points, Sheldon's!"
Swish—!
"I'm in again, Sheldon, the god of death!"
"For the fifth consecutive three-pointer, Sheldon seemed crazy. The Nuggets' defense changed from Allen Iverson to Anthony Carter, and now JR Smith, it seems that no one in the Nuggets can stare at him!"
TNT's commentator, Kenny Smith, looked incredible and incredible.
Forefoot He just mentioned the Halloween battle half a month ago, and then Li Ke went crazy.
Follow the official account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow it and get cash and order coins!
After three consecutive three-pointers, two consecutive three-pointers were made, and together they had already made five three-pointers.
Six three-pointers in a row. To be honest, Li Ke's performance this time was even more crazy, this was a three-pointer!
One three-pointer is a three-pointer, and five combined is 15 points. Li Ke's 7 mid-range shots that day only added 14 points, not to mention that Li Ke made seven mid-range shots in seven or eight minutes that day, and there were a few more in the middle.
Today's this is different, five three-pointers are coherent!
In other words, Li Ke suddenly broke out and scored 15 points in five offensive rounds!
What is this concept? Just look at the changes in the scores.
When Li Ke scored the first three-pointer, the score was 84 to 86, and the Bobcats were still 2 points behind.
And after all five three-pointers were hit, the score became 96 to 91.
In a blink of an eye, the Bobcats led by 5 points!
Compared to Li Ke's crazy-hot feel, the Nuggets are still a sloppy move. Except for JR who made a three-pointer and Melon who turned around and made an accident in the layup, no one else scored.
For the Nuggets, the game was only 2 minutes and 06 seconds left after 5 points. Of course, there are still opportunities.
Iverson stopped and jumped on the shot, and smashed the frame again with a clang.
On the other hand, Li Keduo went out and scored another three-pointer!
"Sheldon's sixth three-pointer!"
Kenny Smith widened his eyes, almost thinking that Li Ke was going to make the sixth three-pointer.
But...a clang!
The basketball hit the frame.
On the sidelines, George Carl breathed a sigh of relief.
There is still 1 minute and 34 seconds left in the game, and there is still a chance to fall behind by 5 minutes.
He immediately called for a pause and made some arrangements.
On the Bobcats, Li Ke and his happy teammates slapped their high-highs, and Sam Vincent's voice became louder: "Hey, guys, it's not safe to lead 7 points. Make a defense for the next round, and then we'll try to score another goal!"
It's simple to say, but it's harder to do.
The timeout ended, the Nuggets served on the sideline and Iverson received the ball.
Li Ke is naturally the one who is fighting against him. He is very careful and moves closely with Iverson's footsteps.
But then, he was blocked by a wide body. When he turned his head to look, Li Ke widened his eyes-
Damn, melon?!
Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley in the commentary seat had the same expression as Li Ke.
"Oh my God, what did I see? Melo made a single block for AI!"
It must be admitted that although the outside world says that Melon regards Lao Ai as the big brother, teacher, and on the court, he has never provided cover for Lao Ai. Of course, Melon itself is not a player who can pick-and-roll or cover.
But under the premise that Shert's pick-and-roll is rampant in the NCAA, the Nuggets did not have a corresponding pick-and-roll, which is suspicious.
The pick-and-roll of Lao Ai and Melon is powerful when you think about it, and this is also the best way to put two singles superstars together. Why don’t the Nuggets use it?
Now, the Nuggets are used!
Li Ke reacted and changed his defense directly.
But Lao Ai did not pass the ball, but ran all the way. Boss Hua gradually couldn't keep up, and in the end he could only let Lao Ai make a layup.
"AI and Merlot's pick-and-roll...AI layup, and made it into it!"
"93 to 96, the Nuggets narrowed the gap behind to 3 points!"
With only 3 points left in the lead, Li Ke's expression was as usual, while Sam Vincent hesitated on the sidelines, and finally saved the last timeout.
After all, this game has a certain meaning of a one-goal victory, and the last timeout will have to be kept for the last one or two rounds.
On the court, there was no timeout, Fei Dun transported the ball to the frontcourt. Then he saw Li Ke standing on the left side of the arc top, inside the three-point line, with his back facing away from JR Smith who was defending him, and asked for the ball...
"Oh my God, I want the ball on my back? Is Sheldon going to start?"
Kenny Smith couldn't believe it because since that Halloween battle, Li Ke hadn't used his back-to-body skills for a long time, and it gave people the feeling that Li Ke had never used it before.
In fact, Li Ke on the court was also a little scared. He was betting on a bonus with a big heart characteristic at the last moment. Facing the careless JR, he was so bad that he could score that damn key goal with his back without even the skill level.
Facing Li Ke's request for the ball, Fei Dun gave it without hesitation.
Li Ke, who received the team, quickly began to advance behind his back.
Whether it was the power of the upper body or the power of the chassis, Li Ke was extremely stable. He tried harder backwards and advanced three or two steps in just a few seconds.
JR has never been the kind of shooting guard who is good at confrontation. His ability to survive in this league is due to his unstoppable hands that are crazy.
Of course, Li Ke in this game has a bit of that flavor.
Usually tepid, but once it breaks out, it will scare people to death. Li Ke in this game shocked many people.
With five consecutive three-pointers, almost killing the Nuggets in this game.
Of course, there is still the last little bit, Li Ke's back is making up for it with all his strength.
"The advancement behind his back is progressing rapidly. Look at the follow-up, he turned around!"
JR's defensive attitude was careless, but at the last moment, he was still very careful, but he believed in the wrong coaching staff.
The coaching staff told him that if Li Ke had his back on his back, there would be only one way to go, turn over and jump shot
But Li Ke did the opposite of this ball, turned around and made a breakthrough that was not even worse, but just like that, passing JR...
"It's over, JR Smith even took a step forward, Sheldon is completely empty!"
Taking two big steps, Li Ke approached the basket. At this time, even if Kenyon Martin made up, Li Ke was already unstoppable!
There was a loud bang!
Pepsi Center burst out with a bang and exclaimed.
Immediately afterwards, Charles Barkley roared: "A sudden breakthrough was turned around and Sheldon dunked!"
"The score has been widened to 5 points again. This is Sheldon at the critical moment, Sheldon, the God of Death!"
With two rounds of offense and defense, the last 57 seconds remained in the game.
Then, the pick-and-roll of the melon opened the gap again. This time it was Melon. Facing Li Ke's change of defense, he made a mid-range shot.
But then, Li Ke relied on his poor back-to-back singles, facing Lao Ai who had changed defense, he easily attracted the Nuggets' attack...
Pass the ball!
Assisted Boss Hua to hit the slash!
Pepsi Center was filled with boos, but Kenny Smith shouted: "Two dunks, the Charlotte Bobcats took away the victory of this game from the Denver Plateau!"
High above the stands and in the private room in the arena, Mark Walkendean, the general manager of the Nuggets, and Rex Chapman, the vice president of basketball operations of the Nuggets, looked at each other for a while in the face of such results.
For the Nuggets, their record is not as bleak as the Bobcats. At least, there is no problem with a playoff spot.
But the problem is, they formed the Golden Double Gun just for a playoff?
Obviously not. Their goal must be the golden championship trophy.
But now there are various fluctuations in the regular season and their record is unstable. In the playoffs, can they still have the chance to compete for the championship trophy?
Stop dreaming!
Whether it was Mark Walkendean, Rex Chapman, even George Carl, Melon and Old Ai on the court, they were in a bad mood because of this game and were even a little depressed.
After a while of silence, Rex Chapman spoke first: "Mark, guess what I'm thinking?"
"What?"
"We need a defensive gate on the outside, which is urgent!"
"..." Mark Walkendean was silent for a second and nodded, "Indeed, if we had a Sheldon, would we lose at the last moment? Absolutely not!"
“So, deal?”
"Yes, trade!" Mark Walkendean nodded heavily, "We don't lack chips. Find an outside defensive gate and let AI play number one position, and let George Carl force Mello to play pick-and-roll with AI, and the golden double guns can survive."
"So, do you have any choice?"
Rex Chapman and Mark Walkendean were joined by the Nuggets, with their predecessor being Chichi Van der Wich.
Chichi van dervich chose Melon and invited George Carl to lay the foundation for the Nuggets.
Rex Chapman and Mark Walkendean made a big deal. They used Andre Miller and Joe Smith to exchange for Iverson in the first round, forming the Golden Double Gun.
If they were not influenced by Li Ke's little butterfly, they would trade Iverson for Chance Billups, Antonio McDais and Chex Sambu in the future.
With this deal, Mark Walkendean became the NBA's best manager in the 2008-09 season.
Of course, most of the credit was Mark Walkendean. As a former NBA executive who later went through the number server because of stealing in Apple store, Rex Chapman was more like a name-name.
At this time, the specific operation of the Nuggets was to be carried out by Mark Walken Dean. Looking for a defensive gate on the outside, naturally, I would also ask Mark Walken Dean first.
"Are you a candidate? Are there two on the other side?"
"Sheldon Lee Gerald Wallace?" Rex Chapman shook his head:
"Don't joke about Mark. Sheldon Lee is Michael Jordan's heart, and Gerald Wallace is the core of the Bobcats' offense and defense. Unless we throw one of the two guns out, we don't want to get any of these two!"
"Rex, we have to try it, and we will know if it's OK after trying it, right?"
Charlotte, Boss Qiao did not know that Li Ke and Boss Hua had been targeted by their opponents. He cheered to celebrate the end of the five-game losing streak!
“Sheldon is amazing!”
"Tim, if I remember correctly, he also scored 30 points in the last game. This is considered 30 in two games, right?"
Boss Qiao was so happy that he seemed to have seen Li Ke's explosion and progress.
As for the previous period of downturn, he felt that it was a rookie wall, and now Li Ke broke through the wall!
The camera returned to Denver again, and Li Ke, who led the team to win the ball, felt something. The system prompted in his mind: Boss Qiao's friendship has already exceeded 80!
At this time, he was interviewed by TNT sideline reporter Craig Sager.
"Sheldon, it's so crazy. He scored 17 points in the last quarter, or did he have only more than 7 minutes of playing time, what kind of thing do you think is that contributed to your crazy performance?"
"Obviously, it's a victory. We have lost five consecutive games. We have a chance to win this game, so I took action. I don't want a six-game losing streak. I just want to end a five-game losing streak."
"Tell me about the two behind-the-body in the last moment? Why did you change to a back-to-body single after you scored five three-pointers in a row and missed one?"
"Are those two behind their backs? Actually, there is nothing to say. At the last moment, I will definitely choose the safest way to score."
"Is the safest way to score on your back? Then why haven't you used the back again after the Halloween War for about half a month?"
"Back on my back is indeed the safest way to score, but it is also the lowest-proficient way to score. Well, add in another sentence, it is also my only way to score with the ball..."
“…”
In the commentary seat, the interview signal had just been cut off, and Kenny Smith brought up the old story again.
"Charles, didn't you go to Charlotte?"
"Why should I go to Charlotte?"
"Why go to Charlotte? Hey, Charles, are you not moved at all when facing Sheldon, a natural wild boar successor?"
Kenny Smith spread his hands and then directed the director, "Let's watch Sheldon's last two behind his back again..."
The director cooperated very well and gave a playback.
Then, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, as well as all the fans in front of the TV saw it-
Li Ke pushed his little butt step by step, pushing from the top of the arc to the middle distance like a bulldozer...
"Look, Charles, except for not having a huge ass, doesn't he look like you? Hurry up, Charles, don't let Michael snatch it first... Oh no, maybe Michael has already snatch it first!"
“…”
Charles Barkley chose to deal with it silently. Of course, he wanted to go over and find Li Ke and let Li Ke be the only successor of the wild boar's back.
But the problem is that Barkley is afraid of being rejected.
If he is rejected, he will become the laughing stock in the United States again after asking about the donkey's butt. Emmm, this time it will be the real laughing stock.
Kenny Smith pressed him step by step, making him unable to stand it anymore, so he said: "Hey, Kenny, stop talking about it. Sheldon is definitely not my successor unless he is willing to do a buttock augmentation surgery for me!"
"Hahahahaha...buttock augmentation surgery...oh my god, Charles, you're so cola!"
Chapter completed!
