Chapter 22 Potential Transactions

"Is the Bobcat back?"
In Los Angeles, Kobe frowned in confusion as he watched the Bobcats and Celtics.
In the past half month, the Bobcats who lost to the Heat, lost to the Magic Hand, and even lost to the Mavericks and the Raptors were almost removed from the ranks of the champions by media reporters and expert commentators.
Looking back at the beginning of the season, the Bobcats are still the best among the champions.
But now...
Speaking of which, Kobe is very acknowledging the statements of this group of media reporters and expert commentators, because the arguments supported are sufficient-
"Shake cannot play 82 regular season games. He has to rest at least ten games or even more. AI is in poor condition. So far this season, his shooting percentage is less than 40%. Although Sheldon has made some progress, he lacks the ability to organize and pass the ball. In the end, Gerald Wallace can only do dirty work and tiring work..."
"In short, compared to last season, the Bobcats lacked a superstar who can lead the team this season."
The above is the reason why the bobcats struggled in a certain ESPN program.
Then there is the summary of Sports Illustrated, who thinks: "The Bobcats lack a organizer, or, in other words, they lack a real organizational guard."
If the Bobcats who went to the season could still rely on Lao Ai's threat and pull it a little, then this season, without Lao Ai, the Bobcats really need a real organizational guard to sort out the offense.
Yahoo Sports' summary is different again, they threw the pot to Sam Vincent.
"Although Sam Vincent led the Bobcats to win the championship all the way to the season, as the head coach, his tactical reserves are too scarce. The Bobcats' offense, in addition to singles, is just singles..."
To put it bluntly, Sam Vincent's style characteristics are a bit like Tyron Lou or Doug Rivers. He is the metaphysical head coach and does not have much tactical reserves.
Although at this time, Sam Vincent was holding back his energy and wanted to bring a difficult triangular attack to the Bobcats...
The three pots of the above three media outlets have different buttons.
But this just shows that the bobcat’s problem is substantial, not this group of media reporters and expert commentators exclaimed.
So, when the Bobcats and Celtics fight ended at halftime, a 49-36 score appeared, Kobe was very surprised.
What is the promised Bobcats have withdrawn from the championship ranks? What is the promised Celtics the biggest favorite of this season’s championship?
Well, actually, Kobe still quite agrees with the latter, because after the start of the new season, the Celtics are indeed killing randomly.
By the end of November, the Celtics had played as many as 17 games, won 16 victories, and lost only one Pacers.
Speaking of which, the Pacers' game was a bit similar to this game.
Pierce was stared at by Granger and made a 3-of-15 shot;
Gentleman Lei has few opportunities, and he has a bit of a stroke;
Lagarondo's weakness was magnified because T.J. Ford went to the Nuggets and did not join the Pacers like he did in his previous life. Therefore, the Pacers' main controller is the main controller killer Jared Jack.
Although I don’t know if Jack will kill him, one thing I can be sure of is that Jack’s defense is excellent. Not only did he defend Rondo alone, but he even took into account the assistance of Gentleman Lei and Pierce;
Therefore, the Celtics' offense can only rely on KG.
This is exactly the same as this game. KG was helpless in taking offense and defense.
But KG, 32, has difficulty attacking and defeating his opponents alone. What's more, their opponent in this game is the Bobcats, a defensive team that can only focus on defense without attack.
...
The Bobcats' victory was not stable after 13 points in the first half.
But Sam Vincent didn't have many ways, so he could only continue his first half and slowly grind.
Didn't watch the first half of the game, the Bobcats had a 13-point lead as they grindled them?
On the Celtic side, Michael D'Anthony strongly recommended his playing style-
"Tom, as I said, I can guarantee that we can complete the reversal in the second half!"
"No, Mike, if I do what you said, our defense will be riddled with holes..."
"But, Tom, we need to win this game, don't we?"
"Yes, but defense is our base, and we can't lose our defense."
“…”
Mike D'Anthony spread his hands, and said that this was his first argument with Siberdu.
Therefore, D'Antoni stopped when he was ready, and he didn't want to break up with Siberdu.
Although at this moment, he really wanted to spit out: "My team will never be able to score only 36 points in the half!"
...
The Bobcats did not change anything, and the Celtics only slightly strengthened their defense.
emmm, yes, Tom Siberdu replaced Tony Allen, and his already constipated attack became even more constipated.
But Siberdu’s idea is fine. Instead of being constipated in offense and being unable to defend against the wing impact of Li Ke and Hua’s second son, it’s better to replace Tony Allen and do a good job of defense. Let’s go to the offense...
The second half of the game began like this.
"KG, a single in the high position, a mid-range shot that took a step back, didn't make the round..."
"The Bobcats grabbed the rebound, and it's their round, Sheldon, he was stared at by Tony Allen."
"Even so, he still pushed forward with his back, turned around, and the mid-range jump shot... didn't make it!"
“…”
In the second half of the game, the sound of ironclads was very dense.
Both sides are making irons. The difference is that the irons on the Bobcat are changed, sometimes Li Ke, sometimes Lao Ai, and sometimes Hua Lao Er...
The Celtics are KG's one-man show, and KG almost supports the Celtics' offense with his own strength.
This reminded Li Ke, who has been looking for a gap in tight defense, about the serious injury that KG has not yet arrived this season.
"If you remember KG's injury, it should be a torn ligament, right?"
At this moment, Li Ke understood why KG was suddenly seriously injured at the age of 32.
And, he could imagine that KG would not be able to escape this time and space.
"Celtics, the champion is popular?"
Li Ke was already shaking his head. KG was seriously injured and the Celtics had nothing to play with.
In the East this season, I'm afraid that Magic will dominate...
In the third quarter, the Bobcats and the Celtics scored an ultra-low score of 18 to 19 in the quarter, and the Celtics scored 1 point back.
At the end of the third quarter, 67 to 55 and 12 points behind, the Celtics seemed to have found a glimmer of hope for a comeback in adversity.
However, with the break between the festival, Tom Siberdu once again rejected Mike D'Anthony's request for a change in strategy.
So, in the last quarter, the Bobcats and the Celtics continued the defensive battle in the third quarter, which was like a bus ride on each other.
In this case, it is a fantasy for the Celtics to recover the 12-point backwards.
In this way, after the four quarters of the game, the Bobcats, who played away, won a not-so-hard victory with a score of 87 to 79.
Well, Li Ke felt it was necessary to emphasize the four words "not difficult".
Because of this game, judging from the data, it is still a bit difficult for Bobcats to win.
Li Ke's score was the highest in the game, but he scored 9 of 22 shots, scoring the highest in the game 26 points.
Except for the opening game, he still missed the most in the remaining games.
What's worse is that Lao Ai has made 15 attempts and only 4 hits.
Overall, the Bobcats' hit rate has just exceeded 40%, and the Celtics are even worse, but considering that this is a defensive battle, it is normal to have this hit rate.
However, the advantage of only 9 points at the end of the game made the game look much more difficult.
But in fact, from beginning to end, the Bobcats did not give the Celtic a chance to reverse.
"The Bobcats achieved a victory beyond the prediction, and Sheldon's North Shore Garden beat the Golden Body without breaking it."
Kenny Smith sighed a little. He thought that Lao Sha was resting and Lao Ai was in a bad state. Only Li Ke was the only one, and the Bobcat was definitely lost.
As a result, the Celtics performed even worse than the Bobcats.
This is a game that compares whose offense is worse.
"No matter what, the Bobcats took advantage of this victory and took a breath. The November record of 9 wins and 6 losses is at least not that bad."
Charles Barkley began to analyze the whole game because there was nothing to say about this game.
According to a global analysis, the Bobcats defeated the Celtics, at least bringing them back to the ranks of the championship.
After the competition, Li Ke didn't have much time to stay in North Shore Garden.
He found KG, Pierce and Junzi Lei, shook hands, said hello, turned around and left.
Yangwu did not broadcast the game, and TNT wanted to interview Li Ke, but considering the sensitive connection between Li Ke and North Shore Garden, after the Bobcats negotiated, DeAndre Jordan asked De'Andre Jordan to be interviewed by the sidelines.
Speaking of Jordan Jr., this game was his first game to replace the old Shark. His performance was still great, with 6 points, 9 rebounds and 2 blocks. He did not have a slight disadvantage against KG, and even had a certain advantage against Perkins.
Boss Qiao, who was supervising the game from a long distance, should be satisfied with his little brother's performance.
...
Just as TNT’s commentator’s global analysis, the November schedule has come to an end as the Bobcats defeated the Celtics.
The Bobcats achieved a record of 9 wins and 6 losses. Coupled with the opening game in October, the Bobcats' overall record was 10 wins and 6 losses, and they are already behind the Celtics, Cavaliers and Magic in terms of regular season rankings in the Eastern Conference.
"The fourth-ranked ranking in the Eastern Conference looks a bit like last season."
In the season, the Bobcats were also the fourth in the East and entered the playoffs, and then they defeated the fifth in the East, the Celtics and the second in the Pistons. In the end, they killed the No. 1 Lakers in the West, which was considered a dark horse miracle.
It seems that the ranking of fourth in the East is not unacceptable.
But the problem is that the Bobcats, who went to the season, even in the lottery zone in the first half of the season, climbed to the top four in the Eastern Conference in the second half of the season, and their record in the second half of the season was actually far higher than the top four in the Eastern Conference in the second half of the season.
This season, the ranking of Bobcats in the fourth place in the Eastern Conference can actually explain something.
They defeated the Knights because of Li Ke's natural restraint on Lebang.
The Celtics were defeated by a better offense after pecking at each other.
But for Magic, the Bobcats had no chance of winning at all when they lost two consecutive games.
If you enter the playoffs at this moment, the Bobcats will have the most and can only play to the Eastern Conference Finals. They must not be
“If we still want to enter the championship ranks, we have to make changes.”
The triangular offense is an attempt made by the coaching staff, and Li Ke is not optimistic, so he believes that the team needs to make other changes.
So, what is the simplest and most direct change?
That's right, it's a transaction!
Returning to Charlotte from Boston, Li Ke found Boss Qiao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Good play, Sheldon, the opening match plus November game, averaged 25.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.8 steals per game. The quasi-MVP-level data is there. If your score increases by 4 to 5 points, I can guarantee that you will be the MVP of this season."
As soon as we met, Boss Qiao stared at Li Ke’s data and commented.
Li Ke just took it as a joke, and shook his head: "The data is not bad, but the record is much worse, Michael..."
"So, the purpose of your visit to me is to improve the team's record. I'm not wrong, right?"
"No, Michael."
Boss Qiao still knows Li Ke very well. After moving, Li Ke never looked for him. Now that he suddenly comes to him, his purpose is naturally not that simple.
"Tell me, what do you think."
"It's very simple, Michael, I don't need a pure playback."
"A pure organizational guard? Then, let AI take the bench?"
"No, AI will definitely not accept the positioning of a substitute, so we need a point guard who can organize and not make any mistakes in the defense."
"A point guard who can organize and not make mistakes in defense? Are you talking about Jason Kidd?"
Li Ke was embarrassed and shook his head: "No, of course not."
"Where can't I find such a point guard?"
“I can give a few optional targets.”
"Then let's talk about it."
"Celtic La Garondo, Grizzlies' Kyle Lowry, Pacers' Jared Jack, Spurs' George Hill..."
"Four goals? Is there any order?"
"Of course, Lagarondo is the first choice, followed by Kyle Lowry, Jared Jack and George Hill."
Of course, Rondo is the first choice. He has many problems, but those problems are no longer a problem when getting the bobcat, because Li Ke's universal puzzle is here.
Next is Lowry. Speaking of which, Li Ke believes that Lowry is more suitable for Bobcats than Rondo. However, Lowry still needs some time to grow up. In the end, Jack and rookie George Hill are both alternatives.
Boss Qiao nodded, saying that he would make some attempts, but he did not guarantee success.
Seeing this, Li Ke added a name to Boss Qiao's list—
"Then add one more, Golandragic of Phoenix Suns..."
Chapter completed!
