The first quarter ended like this, Li Ke scored 25 points, and the Bobcats scored a full 38 points.

In other words, other players from Li Ke won a total of 13 points.

Among these 13 points, Li Ke also contributed 4 assists.

In other words, in the first quarter, the score related to Li Ke reached 34 points...

"38 to 27, in the first quarter, the Bobcats directly shattered the Lakers' defense."

"No, Stephen, the wording is wrong. To be precise, Sheldon should have crushed the Lakers' defense. Among 38 points, 34 points are related to him."

"Yes, if Sheldon had scored more than ten points in one quarter as usual, the Bobcats wouldn't have been so huge in the first quarter."

"The Lakers have a full 11 points lead, and the second quarter is a headache. The first thing they have to do is to try not to widen the score difference further..."

Phil Jackson is indeed a headache. He thought that the double-team tactic was enough to limit Li Ke, a rookie. He even thought that using double-team to deal with a rookie would be too bad for the Zijin wealthy family.

The result was beyond his expectations. The double-teaming tactic did take effect for a period of time, but soon, the rookie found a way to avoid double-teaming.

"This guy's off-ball is excellent. Kobe, your defense is not enough..."

But Kobe spread his hands: "But Phil, I still have to take into account the offense."

"Take some offense to Lamar. We must guard against that rookie, otherwise no matter how many goals you score, it will be useless."

What Phil Jackson doesn't want to admit is that he saw the shadow of Michael Jordan in Li Ke, and Kobe in front of him, to put it bluntly, it is a Jordan copy, and he can't compare with Jordan at all...

The gap seems a bit big. In this game, the Lakers are really going to fail.

NBA's rest between the festivals was only two minutes, which was not enough for Phil Jackson to adjust and arrange. When the second quarter began, he sat in the coach's seat like an old monk and entered the finals.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Li Ke, who had played the first quarter, naturally stayed off the court to rest.

The substitutes of the two teams took turns to play, but the geniuses actually played a draw.

Speaking of which, the Lakers won two consecutive championships in the post-Shark era, but they really don’t rely on the depth of the bench. There are many substitute players who can name the Lakers, but most of them are benefiting from Los Angeles City.

If you have to say that there are any role players in this Lakers who can still shine and heat after leaving the Lakers, then there is only one answer - no, none.

If the Lakers, who have won two championships, have only one answer if they have any role players who can be called top-level ones - Trevo Ariza, who has not joined yet.

It would be a bit too much for Bobcat's substitute to say it's a rookie.

But there is not much difference. Earboykins has not reached its peak yet, and Lao Du is still a rookie. Derek Anderson, Jeff McGinnis, Walter Hermann, the only one who can be regarded as the best is Nazel Mohammed.

The reason why Li Ke thought that Okafor could be sent away was because of Nazel's existence.

In this era when big men are scarce, Bobcats are still not short of centers.

The croaker pecked each other for half a quarter, and the score became 46 to 37. The Bobcats were the leader, with only 9 points left in the lead, but the ball was still in the hands of the Bobcats.

This means that in half a quarter, the score did not open and did not approach.

Whether it is for the Bobcats or the Lakers, such results are acceptable.

Of course, the lagging Lakers must be the more urgent side, so the first thing to change back to the main force is the Lakers.

Kobe reappeared, played two rounds, and scored 4 points from 2 shots.

Sam Vincent hurriedly replaced Li Ke.

Then, Li Ke relied on his back singles and a back jump shot to open the Lakers' defense line again.

In the second half of the second quarter, Li Ke didn't score much. He took 5 shots, hit 3 goals, and scored 6 points.

But in half a quarter, he sent as many as 3 assists.

At the end of the half, Li Ke's personal data became 15 of 21 shots, 31 points and 6 assists, rebounds, steals and other data were also covered...

Relying on Li Ke's crazy solo performance at the halftime, the Bobcats continued to maintain a double-digit lead over the Lakers with a score of 63 to 53.

As for the 15-minute halftime break, the comparison between Li Ke and Kobe was inevitably mentioned.

"Sheldon's performance in this Christmas battle is really surprising and unexpected. I thought that at most this game he and Kobe were fighting each other, but I didn't expect that he actually suppressed Kobe in the first half of the game!"

"31 points and 6 assists, 19 points and 4 assists against Kobe in the first half, he almost beat Kobe twice!"

Kenny Smith expressed his surprise, but Charles Barkley shook his head: "In fact, if you look back at Sheldon's rookie season carefully, you will find that he is a very unstable rookie. He can be a magical game or a ghost game. For example, in the Halloween battle, he scored 47 points. He also suppressed Tracy McGrady in that game, and not long ago when he and the Wizards, killed the game at the last moment, and also against the Nuggets, scoring 41 points in a single shot, scored 5 three-pointers in a row at the last moment, and finally killed the game with his back..."

"There are 37 points against the Jazz, and the same opponent, he made 6 of 23 shots against the Jazz away, 5 of 20 shots against the Bulls, and 8 of 24 shots against the Cavaliers..."

"He has played a lot of bad games, but for a rookie, his burst of games is enough to make people look forward to him!"

The game that Li Ke broke out proved that his upper limit was extremely high, but the game with poor performance could not prove the lower limit, because he was a rookie, and it was normal for a rookie creature to make some mistakes.

Following Barkley's thoughts, Kenny Smith had a new idea: "Hey, Charles, I wonder if you have discovered the pattern of Sheldon's outbreak..."

"law?"

"Yes, he seems to only explode when facing a strong enemy... The examples you give, against the Rockets, his opponent is Tracy, against the Nuggets, his opponent is Merlot and Ai, against the Jazz, his opponent is Deron, and the only exception is the Wizards. Gilbert Arenas is not there in that game."

"When you meet strong, you will be strong?"

Charles Barkley tilted his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up:

"Maybe it's not that you will be strong when you meet the strong, but that your opponent gave him some excitement. Tracy of the Rockets, Melo and Ai of the Nuggets, and Kobe in this game, haven't you noticed any rules? That's right, the third of the four major points guards are here, and he has encountered the remaining Vince Carter, but it must be admitted that the half-man and the half-god have declined too much."

"The two exceptions, before the Jazz's game, they lost a miserable away game, and when the Wizards' game, I remember correctly, Sheldon and Deshen Stevenson had a conflict. Before the conflict, his performance was tepid. After the conflict, he began to explode. The name of NCAA's death was brought to NBA, which started from that game."

Fliggy and Kenny Smith discussed enthusiastically, and Mei Yangyang couldn't get into her mouth.

But he had no idea of ​​interrupting, but he just opened up the topic at the end of the discussion between Fliggy and Kenny Smith.

"Let's talk about the second half. I think after 15 minutes of halftime break, the Lakers were able to adjust their defense back, and the countdown was already on the way!"

"Countdown to the turnaround?"

"That's right!"

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course, I believe Kobe, he will never allow his team to lose the Christmas game..."

The beauty Yang Yang can become famous because of this big mouth. Of course, at this time in 2007, he was not a famous bricklayer. The big mouth he relied on for fame was still very tender. Charles Barkley was a little impulsive and couldn't stand it.

He and Kenny Smith were a commentator. Kenny Smith had always cheated him, and he had never cheated anyone else.

This time, he decided to start the operation.

"What about a gamble?"

"Can the Lakers turn the tables? Yes!"

"What about bets, what are the bets?"

At this time, Kenny Smith joined and raised his hands: "I have a suggestion-if Stephen wins, Charles will go to Charlotte, live teaching back-to-one singles, if Charles wins, Stephen will invite Sheldon to participate in a special episode of your show, how about Charles' butt kissing on the show?"

Barkley immediately objected: "No, I don't agree!"

Mei Yangyang nodded: "I agree!"

"Charles' objection is invalid, that's it!"

The fans in front of the TV were excited, and in the locker room, Li Ke didn't know that TNT's commentator's seat had already made a bet around him.

Kenny Smith wants to see Barkley go to Charlotte to teach back-beat on a live broadcast. He is sure that between Jordan and Barkley’s back-beat, Sheldon will definitely choose Jordan’s back-beat. At that time, Barkley will receive endless humiliation...

So, in the second half, Kenny Smith began to cheer for the Lakers.

In the second half, Kobe also broke out for a while, but Li Ke returned and relied on his steady back and mid-range shot, and a backward jump shot to stabilize the situation.

The score did not widen, but it did not shrink.

In this way, after the third quarter, the Bobcats' lead was still around 10 points.

Then there is the final battle in the fourth quarter...

It was said to be a decisive battle, but in fact it was also very stable.

From beginning to end, the Bobcats maintain a leading position.

The closest time the Lakers were to come back was halfway through the fourth quarter, when Kobe suddenly broke out and scored two three-pointers in a row.

Li Ke's defense was in place, but he still failed to stop Kobe's goal.

But then, the Bobcats scored 7 points in two rounds, one was Li Ke assisting Fei Dun to make a three-pointer, and the other was Matt Carroll, who was extremely good at playing four points, and the other was Matt Carroll, who scored a 31-pointer...

The score gap was maintained at around 10 points until the end of the game.

...

The over-the-scene plot is almost done, and the next step is to determine the direction of the plot in the next stage. Yi Wen decided to ask book friends for advice:

1. Keep staying with the Bobcats and follow the transactions written before to improve the team's strength. The goal is temporarily in the playoffs.

2. After an excessive plot, I was traded and went to a strong team to compete for the championship.

Choose one of two, the next plot is the one with many comments.

The two plots are actually very different. I hope that book friends can make a choice after careful consideration. If it involves spoilers, I won’t go into details.
Chapter completed!
