Chapter 103 Summer 2010

The moment Li Ke swung his fist, the ending was already destined...

No, to be precise, when Hua Lao Er was penetrated by one elbow, the finals were over.

Although Hua Lao Er's score of 18 or 19 points per game is not critical, after the joint defense of G5 matches of the Bobcats, Hua Lao Er's assisted defense and supplementary defense are the most important part.

Without Hua Lao Er, the Bobcats could not find a second player who could replace him.

Tucker's top defense and replacement defense, Tagibson's flexibility is not enough, and Old Martin is now just an empty standpoint...

So, An Zhu made a big move, and the lynx that had a glimmer of hope was sure to lose.

On the court, referee Joe Crawford was stunned.

The game had already stopped, and then, Joe Crawford ran on both the technical table and the court, hesitating for several minutes before making the penalty.

"Two technical fouls were directly executed, and Sheldon was expelled from the field!"

When Jocrawford's whistle sounded, Li Ke spread his hands, turned his head indifferently, and walked towards the player's passage.

But at the player's passage, he waited for a while.

First, he saw An Zhu being carried away by the Lakers' team doctor team, and then he waited for the second child Hua who was not so painful.

"You're impulsive, Sheldon..."

Hua Lao Er, who was carried by the team doctor team, stopped beside Li Ke. He said this in a muffled voice, but Li Ke just shook his head.

Hua Lao Er went straight through the long player passage and entered Staples' parking lot, then got into the ambulance and left straight.

Li Ke also noticed in particular that there were two ambulances in the parking lot.

Seeing this, he returned to the locker room with satisfaction.

The TV in the locker room was on, and the ongoing game in Staples came with real-time feedback.

Without Li Ke and Hua's second child, the bobcat was defeated thousands of miles away.

"Staples' home court, the Lakers are going to win the cup..."

...

Li Ke didn't want to watch the Lakers' cup-winning moment.

He got into the bathroom and took a shower, changed into his regular clothes, and left the locker room.

Luocheng is still dotted with neon lights, but it is very quiet because it is already late at night.

But just over ten minutes later, the whole city became hustle and bustle.

"Champion, we are champions again!"

"The Lakers, two consecutive championships!"

"Kobe, the goat!"

“…”

Li Ke was furious when he heard this. He saw a clean bar on the street in a blink of an eye and turned inside.

After finding a corner, asking for a few glasses of strong wine, my thoughts gradually drifted away.

"It's you, Sheldon?"

"Who? Who is Sheldon on the horse? I am Li Ke..."

"No, you're Sheldon, I absolutely did not admit my mistake... I just finished that game at Staples. To be honest, you punched Andrew Bynum so handsome!"

"I said, my name is...Li!Ke!"

There was a fragrance lingering between his nose. He was supported by a thin body. After staggering for a few steps, he changed to a strong second-generation arm.

There is still a conversation in my ears—

"Miss, you are..."

"Stop talking nonsense, help me, this guy is drinking too much."

Then, he seemed to sit in a soft seat.

"Are you going back to Beverly Hills?"

"No, go to the nearest Ritz-Carlton Hotel."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure!"

The car seemed to be speeding, but after a while, it slowly stopped.

Li Ke was held back by a thick arm again and walked a long way.

After that, he lost consciousness, emmm, all perceptions.

...

After a hangover, Li Ke suddenly stood up and sat up.

The room is luxuriously furnished, and it is obvious that it is not the hotel where the Bobcats are away from home.

"How did I get here on horseback?"

Li Ke, who was having a split headache, probably remembered: "It should be a woman, and one of her bodyguards, who brought me here?"

The next second, Li Ke's face changed—

"It's not Jessica Alba, is it?"

"No, probably not..."

"It's probably the first time we met."

Li Ke remembered those conversations that were already as messy as fragments. Judging from those conversations, it should be the first time he and that woman met.

Thinking of this, Li Ke got up and searched around the suite, and there was no one.

He breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the bed with peace of mind.

Found my phone, as expected, there were a bunch of missed calls, and unread messages on wechat.

Most of the phone calls and other things come from David Falke, Rivers and Boss Joe.

Li Ke didn't bother with it and opened wechat first.

What is ranked in the top is actually a message about a newly added friend.

"Emzie, who is this? That woman from last night?"

He knew that he had never added such a friend, so there was only one possibility-

The woman from last night opened his phone and added a friend.

"It's time to get a security lock."

After skipping this woman, he still didn't know who she was, Li Ke continued to look down.

David Falke sent him more than a dozen pieces, and said in turn, it was-

"You're too impulsive, Sheldon!"

"Get ready for a fine, and, next season, don't think about playing!"

"Damn it, don't reply to the phone or message?"

"Call back quickly, we need to make a PR plan!"

"Are you hiding?"

"Just tell you that the PR team has started."

“…”

"The result is out, banned for 18 games and fined $35,000."

After reading the last one, Li Ke realized that the punishment of the alliance had actually been reduced.

The 18-game suspension... It's not long or short, it's within Li Ke's acceptable range. If he doesn't care about fines or something, he doesn't care.

He is ready to sell wechat this summer, and at that time, even if it is a US dollar, he will not be short of it.

"I see."

After a brief reply, Li Ke closed the chat interface with David Falke.

Immediately afterwards, it was Lao Qiao's-

"Although I'm impulsive, I still want to say, Sheldon, did a pretty job!"

"David can't contact you, the public relations have begun to make efforts. I have also talked to David Stern. Don't worry, I will never be punished severely."

"Boy, won't you reply to my message?"

"Well, David should have told you that he has banned 18 games and fined $35,000. In fact, one of them was missing. The team was fined $500,000. There is no other meaning, I just think you should know..."

There were only four points, and Li Ke also felt the care from Boss Qiao.

Unlike David Falke, Li Ke's words to reply to Boss Qiao are no longer short.

"No, Michael, do you want me to pay the $500,000? Emmm... If you tell me immediately about Gerald's current situation and whether Andrew Bynum has received any punishment, I can consider it."

Just as I closed this page, I jingled and Lao Qiao's reply arrived.

"Depend on!"

Li Ke cursed inwardly and looked carefully:

"Gerard's condition is very bad. His rib fracture has penetrated his chest and lungs. He should be on a long-term truce. As for Andrew Bynum, the league has not punished him, but he has also been injured. Concussion, facial fracture and ankle fracture are all your masterpieces."

Nice!

Li Ke patted his palm and did not reply to Lao Qiao again. He even had the urge to block Lao Qiao directly.

Keep reading-

Xiao Du: "I rode on the horse and fished in the Pacific Ocean, but that guy Jeff called crazy. I realized that you did such a big thing???"

Serena Williams: "Are you okay? Sheldon, still in Los Angeles? If you can, come to Long Beach for a gathering."

Jiba: "I remember the name Andrew Bynum..."

“…”

Li Ke took a deep breath and he replied to everyone.

David Falke also returned a string to him: "????"

Li Ke smiled, just when he was about to turn off his phone...

emzie: "Are you awake? When you wake up, come to room 2202."

So, is the main person finally coming?

Li Ke didn't go to room 2202, and he didn't know what he thought. In short, he left a stack of US dollars in the room he lived in, and turned around and left the hotel.

Then, I will get along with the bobcat.

The bobcat who was defeated in Luocheng took off from Luocheng Airport and returned to Charlotte.

The season is over, and the magnificent 2010 summer transfer period has begun.

...

"Gerard's situation is not optimistic. Sheldon will have to miss more than ten games next year. These are problems, but the biggest problem should be... NBA may be suspended!"

In Old Joe's apartment, Old Joe, Bobcats' vice president of operations Rod Higgins, General Manager Ritchie Joe, Head Coach Rivers, and newly appointed Chief Financial Officer Pete Galey.

Of course, there is also Li Ke, the star in the family, with several people squeezing into a small room.

When Li Ke saw Pitt Galey, he understood that luxury taxes, at least now, Lao Qiao doesn't want to pay.

So, he invited former NFL Buffalo Bills Ceo Pitt Galey to actuate the cap space for the Bobcats.

However, before actuarial salary space, Pitt Galey still raised a hot question that was hyped after the finals-

The old labor-management agreement will expire in one year, but labor-management negotiations have not made any progress. If this continues, the NBA may be suspended at the end of next season.

Considering the suspension, we must be very cautious in signings this summer.

"Gerard's contract won't have a player option until 12 years, which means that if he doesn't choose to jump out of the contract, he still has three years of contract."

"Considering his salary of over 10 million yuan per year, if he is in poor condition after he returns from injury, he may become a burden to us..."

Pete Gali analyzed, but at this moment, Li Ke suddenly interrupted: "No, he will never be a burden."

After interrupting Pete Galey, Li Ke turned to look at Lao Qiao: "Michael, you should know what Gerald means to the bobcat..."

Old Qiao nodded silently, of course he knew.

Hua Lao Er is the core of Li Ke joining the former Bobcats. He is the only old player left by the old Bobcats. There are many fans in Charlotte.

"Maybe we'll trade him, but it's definitely not now."

Old Qiao said half-promisingly, and Li Ke nodded when he heard this.

Of course he knew that An Zhu's elbow had already destroyed Hua Lao Er, who had already played ball on his body. He had one elbow and penetrated the chest and lungs. Hua Lao Er's style of not running to death should not appear again.

But even so, Li Ke felt that the Bobcat should keep Hua Lao Er, at least win another championship...

He felt that before Curry's rookie contract expired, the Bobcats would still be under pressure to keep Hua Lao Er.

"Let's talk about Kenyon..."

Kenyon Martin has the last year left for his contract, a large contract of $16.55 million.

In the playoffs, Martin was completely exposed. He was just full of energy. His role on the court was limited to protecting rebounds and bargains at the basket.

The newly appointed Pete Galey believes that the Bobcats should send Old Martin away and use the money to do other things, or simply save it.

Li Ke agreed with this.

In fact, during the finals, he also thought that if Old Martin was replaced by Old Shark, would the Bobcats have a chance in the finals?

It’s not that I want to throw the pot to Old Martin. It’s really that Old Martin is holding a big contract that is considered a superstar level at this time. He is not even as good as a blue-collar worker. It’s really too inferior.

Compared with Hua Lao Er, although it is a bit double-standard, if you really want to compare, Lao Martin still can't compare to Hua Lao Er.

"We can send him away without spending too much money when expiration contracts. The question is, who will we exchange for him?"

At this time, Rivers spoke: "I need a wing that can hold the ball, shoot from a long shot, and defend."

"Don't you change the inside line?"

Old Qiao was still thinking, frowned and questioned.

Li Ke understood Rivers's idea. The fifth junior high school has achieved some results in the playoffs that have just ended.

Now, it should be time to further advance.

“I have the right person.”

Li Ke thought of someone, and in the room, his eyes turned around.

"We can try Stephen Jackson of the Warriors."

"Or Monta Ellis, or Cory Magetti."

Three names in a row all come from the Warriors. Li Ke's meaning is to pull out the Warriors' wool.

Riccijo's eyes lit up: "The Warriors are really good. Donnielsen is going to retire. Their new coach is said to be a rookie, and I'm afraid he can't suppress Stephen Jackson."

"And Monta Ellis, his style conflicts with James Harden. Next season, the Warriors will straighten James Harden..."

"Cori Mageti shouldn't stay, because next season, the Warriors will change their defense."

Everyone nodded. The three of the Warriors were indeed good choices.

Captain Jack is definitely the first choice. After all, he has defense, so the remaining two should be the next choice.

Lao Qiao still reiterated the old saying: "Do we really not consider making a power forward in the Zhengyin? I have the right candidate."

"who?"

"David Lee of the Knicks, Donny Walsh's goal is LeBron James in the free market, Dwayne Wade... David Lee whose rookie contract expires, he doesn't want to stay."

In the 2009-10 season, David Lee averaged 20.2 points, 11.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 steals per game, but because he was in a bad team, this data would be discounted.

In addition, the Knicks don’t want to keep it anymore, and the transaction price is not high.

"It's a good choice, but if we take Stephen Jackson, it's impossible to take David Lee again, unless we clean up the contract between Kwame Brown and Earl Watson."

Rivers shook his head: "Kaome can't let go, he is the second center, and Ryan is far inferior to him."

Then he insisted: "As for David Lee, Michael, I don't think I need him. Next season, in the fourth position, we have Tagibson and PJ can also top it. I still think we need a top striker and swinger to share the pressure from Sheldon."

The head coach insisted, so Lao Qiao gave up.
