On the day of the opening of the preseason, Li Ke woke up very early.

The room was still very dark, but you could vaguely see the pointer on the wall clock pointing to four o'clock.

In the past, Li Ke would get up at half past four, brush his teeth and wash, and after breakfast, he would appear in the training hall.

It was half an hour early today. If he got up at this time, he would be able to see Charlotte at four in the morning.

But he didn't want to get up and decided to stay there for a while.

So he closed his eyes again, but he couldn't sleep any longer.

There is no way, the game is coming. He is a little nervous, just a little...

Since I couldn't sleep and didn't want to get up, I simply entered the system and walked around.

There is nothing to study about the personal information interface. Today I will be a competition, and there will be no change before the competition.

However, the address book interface changes almost every day—

"Sun Yue: Friendship level 70."

“Yao Ming: Friendship level 40.”

"Brendan Wright: Hostile Value 40."

“Daniel Gibson: Friendship 37.”

“Michael Jordan: Friendly level 35.”

“Kobe Bryant: Friendship/Hostile Value 20.”

“Jared Dudley: Friendly level 30.”

“Julian Wright: Hostile Value 20.”

“Raymond Felton: Friendly level 10.”

“Gerard Wallace: Friendship 5.”

“…”

The friendship level of the Great Sage is almost 80, and a talented skill can no longer be eliminated.

Yao Yao's friendship soared to 40 when Li Ke left the men's basketball training camp. The simple reason is that Li Ke's performance in the men's basketball team has given Yao Yao the hope of a breakthrough in the Olympics next year.

Qiao Shen's friendship has increased rapidly recently, because Li Ke's recent training performance has satisfied Qiao Shen.

After all, not everyone can persist in the training of the breakfast club. Think about Lao Du and Fei Du...

Speaking of Lao Du and Fei Dun, Li Ke cheated these two people about the breakfast club, and the friendship between the two people was raised up, which was also strange. Could it be that they were masochists like Jiba?

Retreat from the system, Li Ke got up, put on his jersey, brushed his teeth and washed up, and enjoyed a simple breakfast...

Soon, he appeared in the training hall, where Tim Graver was already waiting.

“Breakfast club suspended…”

On the game day, the breakfast club was suspended, and there was such a training plan. Li Ke was not surprised, nodded, and Tim Graver continued:

"The training this morning will be carried out according to the competition day subjects on the training plan."

The main training of the subject on the game day is shooting, but Tim Graver's shooting is different from that of many trainers.

He would put a basketball basket next to him, then quickly picked up the first basketball and passed it to Li Ke.

The moment he passed it out, he would immediately pick up the second basketball and pass it to Li Ke again without pause.

The interval between two balls will not exceed two seconds.

In other words, Li Ke has to shoot a ball in more than a second.

Then deduct the time to catch the ball and adjust the time, and the time to take action will be compressed to about 0.5 seconds.

"Curry-style shooting training?"

Li Ke immediately remembered Stephen Curry, and his quick three-pointer shot was one of the symbols of Curry's three-pointer.

It seems that Tim Graver's theory is the same as the Curry family, and the speed of shooting is very important.

Two hours later, Tim Graver stopped shooting training.

"Go to the strength room, practice your muscles for a while and warm up..."

One hour of muscle exercise is considered a warm-up, and this is Tim Graver...

However, after such practice, the tension that Li Ke had caused due to the afternoon game had been dispelled a lot.

Especially after the warm-up of his muscles, he felt hot all over.

Before leaving for the team's training hall, Tim Graver patted Li Ke on the back:

"If you perform poorly, you'll smash my sign, so play hard..."

"Don't worry, Tim."

During the training camp, Li Ke bought himself a six-for-six for half a month's salary, and he no longer needed to go to the training hall.

With the roar of the engine, it took him only seven minutes to arrive at his destination.

When you arrive at the training hall, it is not for training. No team will arrange training on the game day.

It is only on the game day, the training hall will bring together media reporters from all over the world.

As this year's No. 8 rookie, Bobcats' newcomer and one of the four players Chinese basketball has worked hard in the NBA, Li Ke is naturally the focus of the media's pursuit.

As soon as his butt was touched by the bench in the locker room, seven or eight reporters immediately surrounded him.

Rick Bonaire of the Charlotte Observer, Chris Mannicks of Sports Illustrated, old acquaintance Shen Liren, and Sina reporter Jia Lei who only appears on the game day, and Liu Jia of Yangwu...

It is worth mentioning that Yangwu will broadcast the afternoon preseason, and Liu Jia appears here not only for the morning interview.

After the game, he will interview Li Ke regardless of winning or losing, and the content of the interview will be transmitted back to China in real time.

Unlike the United Girl who represented the Bucks next door in the preseason and performed pretty well, this preseason was Li Ke's NBA debut. There are many people looking forward to it at home and abroad.

“Are you confident in the afternoon’s game?”

"It's just a preseason game."

"Do you know you're the starter?"

"Of course, the head coach didn't say it clearly, but I was always the main force when I was training in the team."

"You still know about Knicks. Have you guessed who you will play against?"

"I really don't know this..."

Li Ke knows the Knicks, not that he is a 30-year-old fan of the Knicks.

But starting from the NCAA, Li Ke has developed the habit of understanding his opponents in all aspects before the game.

It is said that the Knicks are bad, but that definitely does not mean that their lineup is bad, but that they are playing badly.

In fact, the Knicks' paper lineup is still very strong.

Look at the names of the Knicks' main lineup last season, Jamal Crawford, Stephen Marbury, Eddie Curry, Quentin Richardson, David Lee, Nate Robinson, Channing Fry, Steve Francis...

In this, Marbury, Fur, the little shark Curry and the big Q all have glorious pasts, K-Liu, David Lee, Little Potato and Channing Furry have a bright future, and no one is truly from beginning to end.

But with this lineup, the Knicks won only 33 games last season, just like the Bobcats last season.

In the new season, they still adhere to the same signing strategy, sending Channing Fry and Boss Fry away in exchange for big shots Zach Randolph and former dunk king Fred Jones.

Then Wilson Chandler was selected through the draft.

This lineup is still not bad.

But everyone knows that this Knicks will still be terrible.

Li Ke didn't know who he would play against. In the preseason, many star players would make excuses to quit.

If K-Liu appears, his opponent will be K-Liu. If the fight is on hold, his opponent will be replaced by Fred Jones.

With A-level single defense in hand, Li Ke can at least ensure that his defense will not go wrong.

Thinking of this, the tension was dispelled a lot.

The interviews in domestic media are like chatting, but once they are foreigners, the situation will be different immediately.

"The competition is about to begin. Have Boss Qiao talked to you about anything?"

Sports Illustrated Chris Mannicks' eyes were filled with gossip, but Li Ke shook his head: "No."

"Do you know that Boss Qiao has high expectations for you? What kind of performance do you think you can give in this game to repay his expectations?"

Rick Bonaire's question, Li Ke frowned:

"I don't know what the boss expects me. I'm just a rookie. All I have to do is play the game in front of me."

He sighed inwardly, saying that he would never leave Boss Qiao, and in the final analysis, it was Jordan's choice to cause trouble.

Of course, part of the reason is that the biggest star of this Bobcats is not the player or the coach, but the boss.

Last year, Jordan acquired some of the shares of Bobcats, but was not a major shareholder but was able to obtain the operation rights of basketball affairs, relying on the identity of GOAT.

This team has a poor record and no stars, so Boss Qiao needs to sell tickets.

Let’s look at Adam Morrison on the other side. His condition is not much different from Li Ke. What’s the bad performance last season, will it improve this season? If it continues to rot, will Boss Qiao be disappointed?

Adam Morrison's face looked ugly. He was different from Li Ke and he didn't have much confidence in the new season.

Throughout the summer, he had almost no progress, and he gained twice, and the confrontation further declined and became a parallel-made company, which seemed inevitable.
To be continued...
