Chapter 43 The 2007 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix (April 1k)
In the second half, the Bobcats, who had already achieved a double-digit lead, took more than 6 minutes to expand their leading advantage to 20 points.
Then, Rick Carlisle replaced all the main players, took the bench and rotated decisively.
You know, the third quarter is not over yet. He raised the flag and surrendered so early. Rick Carlisle's operation directly motivated Sam Vincent!
I have more than one quarter, can I have no chance if I try to chase it?
Rick Carlisle was actually helpless. The Pacers were already full of wounded soldiers, and O'O's fight was a break. Tinsley had just quit until after the All-Star Weekend. Troy Murphy, who had just returned from a sprained finger a few days ago.
There is really no need to play further in this game where I was 20 points behind in three quarters.
In this way, Fei Dun, who scored 26 points, 4 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals in three and a half quarters, was confused. What about 3010?
Li Ke was fine. He scored 8 points in the first quarter and led the substitute for a while in the second quarter. He scored a little more and scored 11 points. In the third quarter, he scored another 6 points.
In the third quarter, he had 25 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 1 block, which was only 1 point less than the one who killed Buddha in the first quarter.
11 of 20 shots, the 55% shooting percentage is far beyond the average.
After this comparison, Li Ke felt much better.
If Li Ke didn't do anything well in this game, it must be a three-pointer. He only scored one three-pointer throughout the game.
The game entered garbage time early, and both sides replaced a group of "trash" players and fought each other.
Director Zhang and Yu Jia in the commentary seat were not interested in paying attention to this game, and Hu Tianhaidi's random conversation.
"Although we always say that Li Ke is only a rookie season this year, so don't pay too much attention to the record, and even if it's data, don't pick on it, but obviously, the performance of Li Ke and the Bobcats has exceeded our expectations so far in the season..."
"Win this game, the Bobcats won six consecutive games, and the regular season record also reached 13 wins and 15 losses. This record may not be that good, but if you know that the Bobcats' record was 7 wins and 21 losses at this time last year, you will know what Li Ke brought to this Bobcats."
"Even in terms of data, Li Ke is one of the best rookies in this class. Not counting this game, he averaged 21.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.6 blocks, and a shooting percentage of 45.2%. Only his college teammate Durant is qualified to compete with him."
After two months of regular season, Li Ke's data is still very beautiful, averaging 21.7 points per game, mainly playing against the Rockets, Nuggets, Jazz and Lakers, among which the Rockets and Lakers were cheated.
In December, Li Ke became the Iron King, but when he saw that the hit rate was still as high as 45.2%. In fact, if only December was counted, the hit rate would immediately fall to 42.7%.
If the Lakers' shooting percentage of 67.6% was removed, Li Ke's shooting percentage would further drop to 40.2%.
Fortunately, Li Ke has Xiao Du as his company on the road to making iron.
In the same two months of games, Du Xiao averaged 22.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks per game. Both scored, rebounds and blocks were better than Li Ke. The assists were only a few decimal points away, and only the steals were slightly lower.
Xiao Du's hit rate is even worse. The 40.7% hit rate, the title of Iron King, has long been pressed by Li Keqiang to Xiao Du.
Based on data from all aspects, there is still a small gap between Li Ke and Xiao Du, so they are now considered the Wolongfeng Chuans of this year's rookie.
And the degree of collapse of the entire 2007 rookie is even greater than many people imagine—
Do you dare to believe that Li Ke's shooting percentage is the second highest in rookies in this class? That's right, only Al Horford is the one with the shooting percentage higher than him, and others such as Sadies Young, Callandri, etc., have not met the number of appearances, and those who have played as standard, such as Al-Union, as an insider, have a poor shooting percentage of just over 40%.
Do you dare to believe that Xiao Du and Li Ke have averaged 2.6 assists per game and tied for first place in this rookie? That's right, Mike Conley, the first point guard in this rookie, has not yet emerged!
Do you dare to believe that Xiao Du has averaging 0.9 blocks per game. Is it the blocking champion of this rookie? Oden was reimbursed for the season and Horford didn't play much, but isn't it just Xiao Du?
Do you dare to believe that Li Ke’s 1.7 steals are the number one among the rookies in this class? Well, this one is still credible, with averaging a lot of 1.7 steals per game.
In short, the 2007 rookie, the top scorer was reimbursed, the second place was the second place, and the rest were counted and the other ones were all paddling.
It can be considered as the combat power. In addition to Li Ke, Du Xiao and Horford, only Jeff Green, who is in the same team as Du Xiao, and Al Thorton of the Clippers.
Director Zhang and Yu Jia talked about the current situation of the 2007 rookies, and soon the game ended.
The Bobcats beat the Pacers away and won their sixth straight win.
Boss Qiao came with joy and left with sorrow.
After the game, the heat flowing all over Li Ke had long turned into a cold sweat as the game progressed. The wind brought by people from coming and going made Li Ke shudder.
Even so, he stayed in the stadium for a while and waited for Danny Granger.
"Hello, Danny."
Listening to Li Ke's greeting, Danny Granger's expression was complicated. He was hit hard in this game. In a one-on-one match, he allowed Li Ke to score 25 points in three quarters, but he made 6 of 16 shots, only 15 points.
There was no point in a single shot, but it was so miserable.
Goodbye at this time, Granger didn't know what to say, but there was a question that had been buried for a long time, and he felt that he had to ask.
"Sheldon, can you tell me why your defense has improved so much in today's game... No, it's not just defense, but also your control over the game..."
Granger's question gave Li Ke the opportunity to show off:
"It's very simple. I've made progress again, but the only thing that improves is defense. As for my control over the game, I can only say, thank you for your praise. The control over the game is one-on-one.
After pausing, Li Ke continued: "Actually, I know that the one-on-one game was arranged by Larry Bird long ago."
After saying this, he stared at Danny Granger with a bright look.
Granger hesitated for a moment and nodded reluctantly.
Li Ke then shook his head: "So, the Pacer missed me. Larry Bird thought he was extremely smart and forced me out with you. In fact, it was this one-on-one that blinded him by those one-sided appearances."
The appearance in Li Ke's mouth naturally refers to things that were exposed because of his poor single defense and poor ball holding ability.
What Li Ke wants to tell Danny Granger and Larry Bird who is not here is that the one-on-one thing is still one-sided after all.
...
Leaving from Indianapolis, the Bobcats returned to Charlotte and had another battle with the Magic.
You ask me why the Bobcats started fighting with the Magic again? Because they are in the Southeast region and have to play four regular season games in one season!
In this game, Okafor was tortured by Howard as usual. Emmm. Howard scored not so many times this time, he only made 10 shots, scored 5, scored 15 points, and scored 5 free throws. It seemed that there were quite a lot of free throws, but he made 12 free throws.
The threat of Warcraft has been initially reflected, with 12 free throws. If you are more accurate, don’t score more. If you score 10, Warcraft will score 20 points in this game.
In addition to these 15 points, the Warcraft also had 21 rebounds, 2 steals and 4 blocks. As a beast in the penalty area, such data is simply ruthless!
Let’s look at our side Okafor, 2 of 6 shots, 4 points, 9 rebounds, 1 steal and 4 blocks. The data difference is huge, so Okafor doesn’t have a free throw. What does this mean? This guy has no idea of ravaging the penalty area at all!
Want, you continue to get along, see if you can get along, or Boss Qiao can get along...
No, it should be that they are not a mess. I hope Boss Qiao can get some things tight and make the deal.
The huge disadvantage of the center position brought about a disadvantage in the whole line. Tekoglu, who made 9 of 20 shots and 4 three-pointers, scored 28 points, and Rashad Lewis, who signed first and then joined the contract with a 100 million yuan contract, also scored 18 points, plus Carlos Arroyo 166.
Even though Jamal Nelson did not play, the Magic's outside shot was unable to bear it.
In the end, he lost the game. Li Ke made 9 of 22 shots, only scored 20 points, and his condition was also average.
...
With the arrival of 2008, Li Ke's training schedule was as usual, but on the first day of the New Year, he encountered an accident.
In the underground garage of the apartment, Li Ke activated his fork six. After walking a few steps, he made a loud rumbling sound, and then he fell into bed.
Li Ke, who didn't know much about the car, got out of the car and looked at it for a while, but couldn't see any traces. He was so angry that he kicked the car that had been bought for more than three months. He directly called David Falke and asked him to find someone to deal with it.
After all, a new car will be stuck after buying it for three months. This is no longer a problem to be repaired, but to protect your rights.
However, the biggest problem in front of him is that he is going to be late!
Because every morning, Li Ke only set out to the Bobcat Training Hall after practicing the breakfast club and continued to participate in the team's joint training, and the time was stuck.
As soon as the car fell into bed, it immediately delayed the time. He quickly walked towards the exit. Then, a Maybach, rolled in smoke and dust, stopped beside Li Ke with a roar of the engine.
The rear window opened and Li Ke saw Boss Qiao with his head tilted.
"What's wrong, Sheldon?"
Li Ke was so happy that he was worried about going out to take a taxi, but now the special car came to his door.
Without even disregarding the explanation, he went around to the other side, opened the door of the back seat, and got into the car.
"Well, boss, my car broke down..."
Although he had joked before, saying that he wanted to call Jordan "master", he still couldn't call him if he really wanted to call him.
So over time, his name for Boss Qiao gradually became "boss", and compared to "master", he was at least not ashamed.
Li Ke explained, and Boss Qiao understood it.
"I remember not long after you bought the car?"
"Yes, the team bought it during training, only three months."
"There is a problem with BMW's quality control, so, just buy Mercedes-Benz."
It seems that Boss Qiao is a Mercedes-Benz fan. Li Ke curled his lips and bought a Mercedes-Benz? It’s almost the same to buy an iron coffin.
Although he doesn't know the car, he also knows: Although BMW is not good, Mercedes-Benz is not a good thing...
Li Ke is not prepared to talk too much about buying a car, and Jordan is the same, he has more important things.
Two days ago, David Falke came to him and talked about the transaction.
How smart Jordan was, he could tell at a glance that it was not David Falke's idea, but the one next to him, Sheldon Lee's idea.
So, taking advantage of this chance encounter, Boss Qiao decided to have a talk openly with Li Ke.
"David has asked me and talked about the deal."
"ah?"
"You don't have to pretend you don't know anything. Sheldon, NBA, there are so many examples of players pointing fingers at the management. Of course, the limit I can tolerate is to give advice like you, not to say anything I'll leave if I don't."
Li Ke was embarrassed, but Old Qiao's words still reminded him of Kobe and two other examples - Lebang and Xiao Du. Well, no, maybe two more can be added, Kawaii and Qiao Shuxin.
He really wanted to tell Lao Qiao that it was good if I left if I didn't do this, and he also said "I will never leave", but turned around and ran away
As well as Kawaii and Qiao Shouxin, one of them forced the mother team to be a free agent, they had to make a scheming trick, but they ended up getting themselves in.
The other two times forced the mother team to ward off the palace, this is nothing, it's okay to force the palace. The key is that before the palace, there is still something wrong with saying "I love this place, I want to stay here."
So, thinking about the current NBA and the future NBA is getting worse and worse, and there is no lower limit.
"I have thought about the deal from AI seriously. Let's put it this way, I'm not optimistic about AI's prospects. He is a thorn and his scoring efficiency is not high. If I only have one Emecca, I can still consider it, but with Raymond, it won't work..."
Boss Qiao shook his head and Li Ke opened his mouth. He knew that Lao Qiao meant that the transaction was cold, so don’t think about it, it was impossible.
But he was still fighting for: "Ai can't do it, what about the others?"
"I know you want to see the team get stronger, but Sheldon, you have to be patient."
"By the way, there is good news." Boss Qiao suddenly remembered something, flipped through the cabinet in front of him, and found a file.
"The first phase of the All-Star Weekend vote in 2008, you got 1.01 million votes and are currently the first striker in the Eastern Conference."
"Ah, first?"
"Yes, the second is Kevin Garnett, the third is LeBron James, the fourth is... Well, it's a bit strange, your fellow countryman, Yi, he averaged only 8 points and 4 rebounds per game, I don't quite understand why he was here."
When Boss Qiao said that, Li Ke had already seen the complete list.
He is the first, the Iron Blood Wolf King is the second, and Lebang was squeezed to the third...
Chapter completed!
