Chapter 9 The Second Battle of Banya(1/2)
Even though he won the game, the star players of the Dream Team were not that happy because the game was much more difficult than expected.
"We thought it was an easy game, but as a result, we went through a full four quarters of battle."
On Wukesong's sidelines, Lebang, the winner's best performer, is being interviewed.
"Yes, it's Sheldon. He has caused us a lot of trouble. He performed so well."
"If he had two more qualified teammates, we would have lost the game."
"We must admit that we didn't do well enough in this game. In many ways, like..."
Lebang was not stingy with his flattery of Li Ke, and even changed angles and admitted the problem of Dream Team.
Lebang has never had any problems in dealing with the media.
In contrast, Kobe, who performed "disappointingly" in this game, was communicating with Li Ke at this moment.
"I know what you are going to say..."
The right hands were held together, Li Ke opened his mouth, and was immediately interrupted by Kobe.
"I admit that although we won this game, you won the one-on-one between me and you."
"But I have a problem..."
Hearing the paranoid Kobe admitting that he lost another game, Li Ke smiled and nodded, listening to Kobe's problem.
"Why, you play in this game completely differently from the finals?"
"Is this just the question?"
Li Ke spread his hands, although he admitted in his heart that Kobe's question was a question.
But on the surface, he was like Kobe's question, and he was too superficial.
"It's very simple. The finals are hand-to-hand combat, two points and two points to ensure the success rate of the offense, so we can win, but this game is not possible. Everyone knows how strong the US team is. If you want to defeat you, two points and two points will definitely not work, so I can only bet on three points."
Li Ke continued to spread his hands: "You should know that I am a pitcher with no blind spots. I am good at mid-range shots and three-pointers."
A very convincing explanation, and even in the end, Li Ke even blew himself.
Kobe was naturally convinced. He was too clear about Li Ke's style characteristics. He was indeed a pitcher with no blind spots in the shooting.
"I really regret it. I didn't go to Jerry Bass during the draft..."
Kobe opened his mouth and finally swallowed the sentence.
What he thought of was that before the draft in 2007, he told Mickey Kupchek that he would stay in the team if he chose Li Ke in the draft.
However, Kupchek made a deal and exchanged Kobe for Li Ke, but it failed in the end.
"I shouldn't believe that idiot Mickey Kupchek!"
If Kobe had been looking for Jerry Bass at that time, the team's big boss took action directly, and Li Ke joined the Lakers to join Kobe, maybe it would have been.
but……
The past is no longer something to pursue, and no matter how much you say it, it is meaningless.
Kobe knew this very well, let go of his right hand, turned his head and left.
Looking at Kobe who turned around and left, Li Ke twitched the corner of his mouth: "This guy has absolutely a problem with his personality."
Kobe left, but Li Ke still couldn't be clean. He saw with his eyes, a small short hand quickly approached his butt and slapped it hard.
"Hey, Chris, your hands are not clean!"
Chris spread his hands: "It's just a way to say hello."
Is it a way to say hello? Li Ke narrowed his eyes and looked at Brother Pao's bald head. He hesitated for a second, and made up his mind.
The broad right hand moved quickly and rubbed the bald head of the cannon brother.
Then, Brother Pao changed his face.
"No, you can't touch my head!"
"Why, this is just a way to say hello..."
Li Ke spread his hands.
But Brother Pao just rolled his eyes and disappeared...
This is gone? Isn’t it said that touching the head is a taboo for Brother Pao? Or is it that my opening method is wrong?
Li Ke scratched his head, he didn't know that in Brother Pao's heart, Li Ke was already one of his friends.
As for the reason, let me tell you the story of the book -
"PJ called me and he said you and him were good brothers?"
“…”
pj Tucker, Li Ke hasn't heard this name for a while.
Since Tucker left the NBA and went to Europe to play basketball, he had less contact with Li Ke.
Although there was less contact, the friendship between the two was still undefeated during the one-on-one training session in 2006.
After thinking about it carefully, Li Ke suddenly felt that he could help Tucker return to the United States.
In the new season, the Bobcats' reinforcement is not actually going well.
With the championship last season, they attracted the participation of Juwan Howard and Tyron Lue, but most of the positions in the lineup still have to use the most marginal players in the league to make up the numbers.
Rather than letting players like Andre Brown, Dontel Jefferson join, join the company, let Tucker come back.
"Tak as a lottery ticket, and make a lot of money if you scrape it out."
Speaking of which, Li Ke has also studied the reason why Tucker was unable to stay in the NBA.
As a short and strong forward, he has no shooting, his speed is slow, his skills are rough, his playing style at the fourth position, and his height at the second and third position are of course unable to survive in the NBA.
But Li Ke also knew that compared with Tucker later, Tucker now only lacked three points in the bottom corner.
...
After losing to the Dream Team, Li Ke took the time to contact Boss Qiao, who was far away in the United States, and recommended Tucker to Boss Qiao.
He didn't say he had to sign, because it was too serious to sign such things.
Boss Qiao would have expectations because of this, but Li Ke didn't know where Tucker has evolved now.
If you are still a rough guy, then this lottery will take at least one or two years to scrape it.
In order not to disappoint Boss Qiao, Li Ke had to change his way...
Charlotte, Boss Joe's expression was a bit strange, but he still contacted Ricky Joe.
The mission of signing Tucker was subcontracted layer by layer.
Turning around, Boss Qiao also discussed with David Falke—
"Sheldon stuffed me someone."
"who?"
"PJ Tucker, his senior at the University of Texas."
"That guy, I joined the Raptors in the second round of the draft in 2006, so I should still have some strength."
"I haven't thought about whether PJ Tucker has the strength. Anyway, signing Dontel Jefferson and signing Andre Brown is no different from signing PJ Tucker. The team will not lose any losses..."
Boss Qiao shrugged: "I'm just sighing that Sheldon has grown a lot, and he has also started to do what superstars can do."
"A MVP in the finals who is under 20 years old, he is not a super giant, who is?"
David Falke reminded Boss Jo: "You should watch yesterday's game, Sheldon almost beat five to kill the Dream Team."
Boss Qiao nodded: "Of course, but you know, after watching that game, what was the first thing I thought of?"
"It's the upcoming new season, a Sheldon who performed so well, took my Bobcats and made two consecutive championships."
I have to say that Boss Qiao is really far-reaching, and he has begun to imagine two consecutive championships.
But he didn't know that at this moment, Lao Sha and Lao Ai who were on vacation had already had fun.
Perhaps, the 33-year-old Lao Ai and the 36-year-old Lao Shark will not decline, and the Bobcats will still have a chance in the new season.
But now, it is difficult for the two veterans who are destined to decline to return to their peak with this bobcat.
...
The men's basketball team's first match against the Xiao Meng Team gave more confidence to hundreds of millions of domestic fans.
So, in the second match between Spain, the calls for the men's basketball team to win suddenly rose.
Fans don’t know that such public opinion has made the men’s basketball team feel extremely stressed, especially Li Ke.
"This duck is not that easy to play, and the schedule of this group stage is difficult to beat!"
The group stage was first launched, and the team lost to the dream team certainly gave the men's basketball team full of confidence.
But if the men's basketball team loses again, the confidence built by a defeat will be in vain.
To be continued...
