On November 23, the Bobcats lost to the Celtics at home, losing four consecutive games.

Putting aside the game against the Rockets, this game was the first time that Li Ke had opened fire without any scruples.

The ending of the game was no surprise as soon as the schedule was determined. The Celtics of the Big Three could not give the Bobcats any chance.

This season, the Celtics went for the championship, and the regular season and other things naturally swept everything.

Facing the siege of Ray Allen and Tony Allen, Li Ke took a full 23 shots, hitting only 7 goals, with a shooting percentage of 30.4%...

Li Tiewang's first game came to an end.

On November 24, another back-to-back match, the opponent was the Pistons.

Philip Sanders respected Li Ke very much, and he directly asked Taishaun Prince to misplace the target of Li Ke.

But in this game, Li Ke performed well, making 12 of 25 shots and scored 30 points, almost winning with the Bobcats.

In the last moment, Li Ke and Richard Hamilton competed for a three-pointer, and Chauncey Billups made a kick, leaving the victory at Auburn Hills Palace with a sure-fire three-pointer.

Five consecutive losses came as scheduled, and the morale of the entire Bobcats plummeted to the bottom.

For a team that had just started its team in 2004 and had less than four years of establishment, the decline in three or two seasons was inevitable.

But for Bobcats, such a bad record is already unacceptable.

"Five consecutive losses, Michael, the attendance rate at home has dropped again..."

"Yes, the Chinese rookie you chose brought two or three additional sponsorship revenue, but what's the use? The team's ticket revenue is still not enough, that is the real big revenue..."

"You wait, Michael, I will let the accounting firm people come to the site to calculate. If the Bobcats still cannot make a profit this year..."

"Or, let me take back your basketball business rights, or I will withdraw the shares directly."

In the apartment, Boss Qiao hung up the phone.

Robert Johnson's warning made him frown. The right to manage basketball affairs? That thing is the lifeblood of Boss Joe, and he will never give it to him.

As for withdrawal of shares...

Boss Qiao touched his chin and he could buy all of Robert Johnson's shares. He didn't have such a large cash flow, but he could take out a loan.

Then there is no problem. Boss Qiao, who made up his mind, showed a relaxed smile.

But then, thinking of the team's sudden bad record, Boss Qiao's expression became a little gloomy again.

I raised my hand and looked at the time. It was already seven o'clock in the evening.

"Sheldon's late practice should have begun."

He got up, walked out of the apartment door step by step, and then appeared in the training hall on the third floor.

For a while, Li Ke has been training hard, the breakfast club has not stopped, and the extra training has not stopped at night. Boss Qiao has been here several times, but has never ended.

On the day after five consecutive losses, Boss Qiao came again, and Li Ke had become accustomed to it.

He continued to train according to his own steps—

During this period, Li Ke's extra training revolves around running back, back, and breakthroughs, which are things that can improve himself in the short term.

"Get faster and faster, Sheldon!"

Amid Tim Graver's shouting, Li Ke's training was about running back.

He has no problem with speed and explosion, only flexibility, and he still has room for improvement.

After rushing for a while, Boss Qiao didn't leave. Li Ke was surprised and threw a surprised look at him.

“Is the next item to be behind-the-body training?”

Not only did Boss Qiao not leave, he also asked a question with great concern, which was even more strange. Li Ke developed an association...

Tim Graver next to him simply replied: "Yes!"

"Then let's start..."

After saying this, Jordan stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest.

No intention to join?

Li Ke scratched his head. He thought that Boss Qiao had been there until now, and he wanted to join him and Tim Graver for a threesome!

Shaking his head, Li Ke started his back-to-back training under the confrontation of Tim Graver.

"No, Sheldon, be decisive when turning around. Whether it is a fake move or a real thing, you must be decisive, don't show your timidity..."

"His power is weak. Sheldon, just give a turnover jump shot at this time. Don't hesitate!"

"No, Sheldon, you should make a decisive breakthrough at this time, even if your breakthrough is bad..."

“…”

Lao Qiao's voices came one after another, as if he couldn't stop at all.

Li Ke threw a huge "?": Old Qiao, Old Qiao, it's okay if you don't join, why do you still act as a beeper watching?

However, he had to admit that every word Lao Qiao pointed out his mistakes accurately and had a huge effect.

Although he did not really join, he was equivalent to joining. Li Ke is the main owner, Tim Graver is more like a sparring trainer, and Lao Qiao is the real trainer.

After practicing for almost half an hour, Tim Graver said, "Let's rest, Sheldon."

Li Ke nodded, walked to the sidelines, and sat down on the floor.

Boss Qiao also leaned over and said in a low voice: "Talk?"

"Okay." Li Ke nodded and did not refuse.

"What do you think the team has lost five consecutive times?"

“It’s very uncomfortable.”

"It's right. When I was a rookie, my team also lost a lot of games. I remember it was 38 wins and 44 losses. That season was really long, with a winning rate of less than 50% from beginning to end. I thought we couldn't get into the playoffs, but in the end, we still got in..."

"At that time, I knew that the regular season was long, and the first thing you need to do was to be patient."

Lao Qiao made a comment from his senior.

Li Ke nodded, wanting to say that he couldn't empathize with Lao Qiao.

Think about it carefully, what was Lao Qiao's performance in the rookie season, averaging 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, which is unique in NBA history.

Even Lebang can only score a record of 2055 per game in a rookie season. If you really want to dig deeper, Lebang's data is just a younger brother, let alone record.

Now Li Ke is even more of a younger brother...

But there is one thing that Lao Qiao said is right, and it is important to be patient.

Li Ke wanted to tell Lao Qiao that he was really patient and it was uncomfortable to lose, but if he lost with unlimited firepower, it would be much more interesting.

After chatting for a while, Li Ke continued his breakthrough training.

Lao Qiao still didn't leave, and continued to stay on the sidelines and gave off guidance.

The extra exercise continued until 10 o'clock in the evening. Li Ke, who had been soaked in sweat all over his body, said goodbye and left first.

In the training hall, Tim Graver glanced at Boss Qiao: "Psychological counseling?"

"Yes, it's not a good feeling to lose continuously. I haven't felt this feeling much at the Bulls, I haven't felt it yet, but in Washington..."

Old Qiao won’t say anything anymore. The two seasons when the Wizards made a comeback were really a failure.

Speaking of which, Jordan's 15 NBA seasons had only three seasons with a winning rate of less than 50%, the Bulls' first and third seasons, and the Wizards' last season.

As for the Bulls' second season, although their record was only 30 wins and 52 losses, in the 18 games that Jordan played, the Bulls' record was 9 wins and 9 losses.

After that, he withdrew from the remaining regular season due to a fracture in his left foot, and then returned to the playoffs. Facing the Celtics, he asked God to take his body, and the score was still the 63 points in a single game in the playoffs.

Including the penultimate season of the Wizards, in 60 games after Jordan's comeback, the Wizards' record is 30 wins and 30 losses.

Apart from those two seasons with the Wizards, Jordan never missed the playoffs.

Let’s look at the current Bobcats. The season has just begun and their record is 4 wins and 9 losses, so it will be even worse in the future.

To be honest, after Robert Johnson called, he lost patience with some players in the Bobcats. For example, Emecca Okafor, this guy was not chosen by Jordan, and Jordan said he would not take the blame.

"For Sheldon, are you really going to give him a season of unlimited fire power to keep playing like this?"

Tim Graver is an old-school trainer, and he always feels that it is not a good thing for rookies to get too much ball rights.

"There's no other way. Tim, the Bobcats want to win and want to invite fans back to the court, so Sheldon has to shoot..."

Speaking of this, Jordan thought of the next game.

"The next game against the Nuggets is another difficult game, and six consecutive losses are probably inevitable..."

Many people think that the Nuggets are not strong because they are in the West. If they put the Nuggets in the East, they will definitely be the top four-level team in the East.

Facing Cameron Anthony and Allen Iverson's double-gun combination, this game is really hard to play. The probability of losing is greater than the probability of winning, not to mention the Bobcats are still away.

Boss Qiao felt that six consecutive losses were already scheduled, with no 3 wins and 10 losses, and 4 wins and 10 losses, but rushing towards them.

With a snap, Old Qiao slapped himself in the face.

"This crow's mouth, bah!"
