Li Ke left Lao Qiao's office and returned to the training ground.
The teammates have almost arrived, new, old, and some that have not been confirmed to be left behind.
Before Rivers' coaching staff appeared, the group gathered together.
Li Ke also crawled over curiously, and then he saw a one-on-one between Lance Stephenson and Wesley Matthews.
At the beginning of one-on-one, there was only the noise of the teammates watching the training ground.
After my junior brother carried Matthews to the basket and made a layup that seemed difficult and barely sent the ball into the basket.
Some of the teammates beside Li Ke sighed, and some cheered and cheered...
But what is really harsh is on the court-
The junior brother who scored the goal hit his chest and acted extremely arrogantly: "You are not my opponent, Wesley, do you know why?"
Before Matthews could react, he shouted directly: "Because I am from Brooklyn, I am from Lincoln High School..."
Li Ke was a little surprised. This horse pedal was also called a reason.
But looking at the group of teammates around them, it seems that they are not surprised.
"This guy, as soon as he comes, he is emphasized that he is from Brooklyn, he is from a big city..."
Old Du shook his head and answered Li Ke's doubts.
So, is my junior brother a top regional discriminator?
On the training ground, Matthews was not accustomed to his junior brother at all.
In another round, Matthews found the right time, jumped up, and slapped his junior brother Yihu's layup.
Then, he sprayed his junior brother very hard: "I am Marquette University's starting shooting guard and led the team to March Crazy, and you, the loser of Cincinnati!"
Li Ke clapped his hands, and this retort was very exciting!
After that, Matthews, who had been honing in NBA for a year, did not give his junior brother a chance to fight back.
The regional discriminator who has been holding on has to wait until the coaching staff is in place. When Rivers asked him to introduce himself, he announced loudly once--
"I'm from Brooklyn, my high school is Lincoln High School, and I'm the eighth high school student in the United States in 2009!"
The junior brother's arrogance is no longer just arrogance, he is still a little bit arrogant, arrogant and arrogant, and Li Ke can no longer bear it.
"This guy is not instructed!"
Shaking his head, Li Ke looked at several other new teammates - Xiao Mo, Stephen Jackson, and Joan Shayer, Lansthomas, and Brian Zobeck who are currently holding training camp contracts...
All three come from this year's NCAA champion team Duke University, and only one of the three can be left behind.
Although Li Ke had just arrived, he had already judged that the one who would be left behind would be Lans Thomas.
Jonshayer is the most famous, but his way of playing with the ball in hand does not match his ability. It is more suitable to go to Europe and China to make gold in a low-level league.
Brian Zobeck is 2.16 meters tall and 260 pounds. He is too stupid and obviously will not stay.
However, Lansthomas, the youngest among the three, has a height of 2.03 meters and a weight of 225 pounds, and is qualified.
It has a flexible body shape, outstanding defense, can defend against non-heavy units, and can also switch to small wings that defend against the outside.
The style of play is temporarily indifferent, but it is developing three points, and the development progress is said to be quite considerable.
Simply put, this guy is a bankrupt version of Hua Lao Er.
With the return date of the second child in China not yet determined, it is not bad to use the previous bankrupt version for the time being.
...
In the morning, after the physical test, my junior brother was still very arrogant.
Li Ke, who never bullies rookie, decided to make an exception this time.
"Hey Steve, is there only sandwiches for lunch today?"
"On the first day of training, everything was too hasty, so..."
Steve Johnson is the chef of the team's restaurant. Li Ke's sudden, surprising inquiry caught him a little off guard.
But he didn't know that this was just a reason Li Ke found.
"It's so savory, too light..."
Soon, Li Ke's picture was revealed: "I suddenly wanted to eat the taco on Seventh Avenue..."
Jordan, who was not far away, had a lit up eyes: "I know that taco is indeed delicious."
Some helpers came forward to cooperate. Li Ke silently gave Jordan a thumbs up, but secretly complained: Can you not know?
I remember that when Li Ke first ate the taco on Seventh Avenue, the old shark forced the rookie Jordan to buy it.
"When you say this, I want to eat even more. DeAndre, are you going?"
"No, no, no, it's not a coincidence that I didn't drive here today."
Jordan waved his hand, and Li Ke turned his head and began to scan the other teammates in the restaurant.
"So……"
The old birds and the gods are here, and they all know that Li Ke will never call their names.
The rookies were still confused until-
"Lance, no, not you, another Lance."
Lansthomas and his junior brother had the same name. When Li Ke shouted out the name Lance loudly, Lansthomas stood up.
Li Ke waved his hand and finally pointed at his reluctant junior brother.
"Why is it me, not them..."
Even if my junior brother is slow, he understands that what Li Ke is doing is the tradition of NBA old birds to cure rookies.
But he was not convinced because in addition to him, the rookies in the training hall also had Duke's three unselected heroes.
Li Ke spread his hands and told him: "Because you are the only novices holding a guaranteed contract."
This reason is flawless, because Duke is not sure whether to stay or not, and he is not considered his own person.
The tradition of NBA old birds to regulate rookies is aimed at their own people.
Hearing this, the junior brother could only accept his fate: "Okay, I'll buy it, but at least, you should tell me where the land is."
"Yes, we should tell you where Seventh Avenue is, after all, you're from Brooklyn..."
Li Ke let out a sarcastic voice, then directed Jordan, and told his junior brother a geographical location that seemed correct but was actually wrong for dozens of miles.
Seeing his junior brother running out of the training hall, Li Ke added: "If you can't buy it, you won't have to come back."
...
During the afternoon media opening day, the 12 guaranteed players of the Bobcats (excluding Hua Lao Er), plus three training camp players, were very comfortable in the face of visits from many reporters.
The bobcats were 16 people, but in fact they only reached 15 people. One person was missing, and no one seemed to notice it.
until……
Espn's reporter Jackie McMurran remembered that he had to make a special column for the rookies of this season, so he had to talk to the Bobcats' first round rookies this season.
After passing through the deep part of my brain, I found the name of the Bobcats' first-round rookie, Lance Stephenson.
Then, he turned around and looked for his junior brother's figure, but found nothing.
At this time, he discovered that after the media opened, Lance Stephenson did not appear.
Shocked, he immediately had many speculations. After all, in high school and college, Lance Stephenson was famously unruly and troublemaker...
"He and the Bobcat broke up, so he didn't report it?"
"Or, at the morning meeting, he fought with Sheldon and went to the hospital?"
After Li Ke punched An Zhu in the season finals, Li Ke's violence seemed to have penetrated into the hearts of some people.
However, Jackie McMurran is still professionally ethical. He did not blindly make conclusions after random speculation, but instead found the Bobcat's press officer.
"Hey, Tom, why didn't I see Lance?"
"Lance? Isn't he there?"
The press officer pointed at Lansthomas, and McMurran explained: "No, I'm asking Lance Stephenson."
"Lance Stephenson? You said he was going to buy taco."
“taco?”
McMurran has realized something, yes, the old birds are doing to cure rookies.
The experienced man asked: "Who asked him to go?"
"Sheldon."
Soon, Li Ke was entangled by McMurran.
Why did you ask Lance Stephenson to buy a taco? Are you bullying the team's rookie? Is it the old bird's routine for remedial rookies?
Li Ke did not hide it at all, and there was no need to cover it up to tell McMurlan: "That's right, it's me, and it's indeed a practice to rectify rookies, but it must be corrected, not bullying, but training!"
Until the end of Media Day, my junior brother will rush back to the training hall.
My whole body seemed to be fur-fried, and I was holding a bunch of tacos in both hands, looking very embarrassed.
At this time, everyone knew what was happening to my junior brother...
Taco is delicious, even though time has passed.
But my junior brother held a big breath because of this, but this was exactly what Li Ke wanted to see.
To deal with the thorn, you must first arouse the anger of the thorn, and then use thunder means to press the anger back.
After several times, even the most powerful thorns will be smoothed out.
...
Training for each team of NBA team began one after another, and the league then announced the schedule for the new season.
Because Li Ke was suspended for 18 games, many of the highlights of this season's NBA have disappeared from the Bobcats.
There is no Bobcats in the opening game, and the league has arranged three opening games-
The Cavaliers' home match against the Celtics, the old and the old, are only looking at this game. Li Ke feels that David Stern should have acquiesced to Lebang, Wade and Bosh's group.
The Lakers vs. Nuggets at home, and the reenactment of the Sikhstan finals last year; and the Mavericks vs. Spurs, a classic bull and horse battle.
There was no Bobcats after the Halloween war.
But in the Christmas game, the Bobcats came back, and they needed to play away against the Lakers on Christmas Eve.
From this point of view, the attention Bobcats received in the past few seasons is certain that they all come from Li Ke.
Without Li Ke, there is no Bobcats in the opening battle or Halloween battle.
As soon as Li Ke made a comeback, the most important Christmas battle among several major highlights was immediately arranged.
After the Christmas War, it was the Spring Festival War that belonged to Li Ke alone.
This year's Spring Festival will not collide with the All-Star Weekend. Therefore, just like the first Spring Festival battle, the competition will be held on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The opponent is the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"David Stern still wants to praise Xiao Du..."
In addition to these two highlights, Li Ke also noticed that the Bobcats' start schedule was particularly relaxed.
The Wizards who just won the No. 1 pick John Wall in the first game, followed by the Eagles, Pacers, Kings, Grizzlies...
Strength may be strong and weak, and there are also some opponents who seem weak but cannot be underestimated, but these opponents are not important to Li Ke.
The Pistons, Nets, Cavaliers, Celtics, Lakers, and Thunder, which have special significance to Li Ke are all placed behind.
Or maybe the real top teams that the league believes are truly top teams, such as the Spurs, Mavericks, and Nuggets, are also placed behind.
"This schedule is also considerate."
David Stern wants popularity, while Bobcats and Li Ke want a relaxed start, and it will not become a difficult schedule until Li Ke returns.
In this way, at the beginning of the season, they would not lose too many games because of Li Ke's absence.
Li Ke knew that the competition in the East may not be so fierce in the playoffs.
But in the regular season, the Cavaliers, who are considered to be the first to be suspense, and the Bulls who Li Ke knew were destined to explode like a dark horse, and even the Celtics who returned to the past will be competitors in the Eastern Conference rankings.
A relaxed start and difficult schedule is important for the Bobcats who need a certain basic support for regular season rankings.
...
As soon as the schedule comes out, the time for media reporters, experts and football critics is coming.
Pre-season forward and prediction are the highlights of each season at the beginning.
The same is true this year, but what's different this year is that almost all media calibers are consistent.
"The Cavaliers are the only champion favorite this season, and they will sweep the entire league without any suspense..."
This is a bit like the media's public opinion before the 2007-08 season, but the difference is-
Some media reporters will mention the season two seasons ago, and then use the Bobcats' dark horse posture to tell those experts who think the Cavaliers will sweep the entire league. The dark horse still exists and the Cavaliers are not invincible.
But this time, those expert reporters who supported the Big Three responded with confidence:
"The three big knights are different!"
That's right, it's really different. The three Celtic giants are the three giants that have passed the peak. The three giants of the Knights have not even reached their peak. The gap between the two is too big.
What Li Ke is more concerned about is the rankings given by this group of expert reporters to each team in the new season.
Espn's famous reporter Zach Loway's preview is the authoritative among this group of expert journalists. In the new season, his rankings are as follows-
In the east, the Knights have no suspense, and the second is the Bobcat.
"Although Sheldon will be suspended for 18 games and although Gerald Wallace will not return until at least the second half of the season, no matter what, they are the kings of the Eastern Conference. As long as Sheldon returns after the suspension period, the Bobcats will have no opponents in the Eastern Conference except the Cavaliers."
The reason is very good, and Li Ke also felt the importance.
But he was still the first to have no suspense in the Knights, and was annoyed by the premise of "excluding Knights in the East".
After the Bobcats, Zach Lovie believes that the Bulls with heavyweight signings will rise, Carlos Boozer will form a Chicago double evil combination with Rose, plus Ruldon...
I have to say that the Bulls' third proves Zach Loway's authority, although the reasons he gave will be different from reality-
The rise of the Bull has nothing to do with Boozer, who is so miserable when signing a big contract, and Siberdu is the main reason.
The Bulls are followed by Magic, and the Eagles are followed by Magic, and then there are Knicks who got Little S and the Bucks who were very strong last year.
There is not much difference between the East. In the West, the Lakers are the first, the Spurs are second, the Nuggets are top four, and the Grizzlies Lotto rankings make Li Ke think that Zach Lovi is just like this...
