Chapter 338 Brother Yao's Plan

Chapter 338 Brother Yao's Plan

25分10个篮板7个助攻2个抢断1个盖帽,乐邦打出了近几个赛季,他面对李恪防守时的最佳个人表现。

Judging from the data, Lebron's sweat this summer was not in vain.

But when it comes to the game...

Half of Lebon's 25 points came from the not-so-bad post he developed this summer.

The remaining half was caused by Li Ke keeping shorting him.

Because there is an extra duty of assisting defense, Wade's all-out attack from the front does require a assisting defender to cover him.

Li Ke didn't care much about Le Bang. Anyway, a Le Bang who missed a shot couldn't kill the game.

The result is indeed the case, LeBron scored 25 points, but in terms of effect, he is still not as good as Wade, who scored a game-high 29 points.

With Bosh's 20 points, the Big Three scored 74 points, and the remaining role players only scored 22 points.

There is no problem with the Big Three, but the problematic group of role players;

Even if there is a problem with the Big Three, the problem is that Bosh, who only grabbed 6 rebounds in this game, has no problems with James and Wade.

After the game, on ESPN's postgame show, pundits kept repeating those two sentiments.

Danny Ferry immediately felt the pressure, and first opened a list of players, which was the list of substitutions and signings that the Cavaliers uniform team had been discussing during this time.

After thinking for a long time, he took out his cell phone, made a call, and called Larry Brown.

Charlotte, the old man hung up the phone tremblingly.

Beside him, his assistant Brendan Malone frowned: "That Danny Ferry guy is here to put pressure on again?"

"After going back, add a half-court running training..."

The old coach did not answer directly, but made arrangements for training after returning to Cleveland.

Halftime run, what did Brendan Malone think of...

He knew that his head coach might be changed again.

……

After winning the first show, Li Ke did not pay attention to the post-match public opinion of this game.

Because of this game, his performance was indeed ordinary and unremarkable.

This game also made him understand that he doesn't know where the upper limit of the Bobcats is this season, but the lower limit is definitely extremely high.

Jordan on the inside, Curry on the outside has grown, and the wings have deliberately piled up a bunch of powerful players.

Of course, the most important thing is that last season's chief assistant, Lawrence Frank, went to the Pistons to take up the post of coach.

So Rivers found Elvin Gentry, who had just finished get out of class in the Suns in the summer.

Here I will focus on introducing Gentry——

Two seasons ago, Mike D'Antoni dismissed get out of class from the Suns. Steve Kerr, then general manager of the Suns, initially chose former Spurs teammate Terry Porter.

As a result, Terry Porter brought out the lower limit of the Suns, dismissed get out of class during the season, and Gentry took over.

After taking over, Gentry has been asked to find a way to ensure the lower limit of the defense in the Suns' run-and-gun offense.

But the configuration of the Suns does not support this, and after one and a half seasons, get out of class...

Gentry, who thought his coaching career was over, found a second spring when he arrived in the Bobcats.

The Bobcats have now formed a system of fast-playing whirlwinds and small ball storms, which come from Elvin Gentry.

It can be said that with this offensive style of play, coupled with the fact that Rivers learned from Thibodeau, and he and Bickerstaff Jr. perfected a defensive system with unlimited switches, the lower limit of the Bobcats has become so stable that it cannot be more stable.

If there is no accident, the No. [-] in the Eastern Conference this season is either the Bulls or the Bobcats.

But for Li Ke himself, this season will be a useless season.

No matter how good his statistics are, he can't win any heavyweight personal honors.

"Now you should regret those punches in the finals, right?"

Although Old Qiao was also surprised by Shan Mao's current performance, when he turned around, he still teased Li Ke.

Li Ke smiled wryly and shook his head. A few punches in the finals resulted in an 18-match suspension for this season.

Without these 18 games, maybe the best team, the best defensive team, etc., he still has a role to play.

But MVP, Dpoy and so on, absolutely not for him.

"There are still too many games suspended, but it doesn't matter, I will still get the honor I deserve."

……

On December 12, in the second game of Li Ke's comeback, the Bobcats played against the Nets back to back.

Although it was back to back, the Cavaliers failed to cause trouble for the Bobcats in the last battle.

With no loss of physical fitness, the Bobcats won a victory with great ease.

"It is said that Billy King is already preparing for his big move. Will you be affected, Jimmy?"

"do not know……"

After the game, Li Ke chatted with Jimmy Butler for a while.

Everyone knows that the Nets are ready to move.

It is said that now, Billy King has targeted the Nuggets' Guagua and the Hornets' Pao Ge.

Guagua's transaction should not be a big problem, because Guagua has already begun to express dissatisfaction and asked to leave.

The directionality is still very clear. He just wants to go home (New York). The only ones who meet his requirements are the Knicks and the Nets who intend to move to Brooklyn.

Brother Pao did not have such a request. Billy King could think of Brother Pao, because the record of the Hornets was mediocre, and he was already on the decline.

It just so happens that Pao Ge and Gua Gua are also members of the Banana Boat Brothers, as long as they get Gua Gua, they can lure Pao Ge with Gua Gua.

But Brother Pao's price is not low.

Sophomore Jiba, who has averaged 16.3 points per game so far this season, is still very likely to be sent out as one of the top picks.

After chatting for a few words, Jiba didn't know anything.

Li Ke shook his head, and told Jiba his judgment: "That's why Billy King hasn't made any progress yet, otherwise, your agent should know something."

"maybe……"

"Do you want to leave the Nets?"

"What, you want to recruit me?"

Seeing Li Ke shaking his head, Jiba smiled, "If the team really has to make a big move, I still tend to leave."

"understood."

Li Ke really understood, because he put himself in his shoes and thought about it, leaving is indeed a good thing.

If he was Jiba, he would even ask Billy King to use him to trade Guagua.

The reason is that even if Guagua's Nuggets are sent away, his combat effectiveness will not be too weak, and his room for growth will not be compressed like staying in the team.

It can be said that for a second-year rookie like Jiba who needs space and time to grow, the Nuggets are the perfect next stop.

……

After defeating the Nets, the Bobcats won two consecutive victories.

The next wave of Western Conference players, from the Lone Ranger to the Spurs and then to the Rockets, the top three in Texas, the league obviously wants to teach the Bobcats a lesson.

The result was that on December 12, eight Bobcats scored in double figures and defeated the Mavericks 7-8.

Li Ke knew that without him, the little butterfly, the Lone Ranger should have burst out this season, defeating the Big Three to win the championship.

In this game, he paid special attention to this lone ranger who is mainly a veteran.

As a result, after a game, he didn't see the Lone Ranger's champion appearance at all.

"Is it not showing the mountains and not showing the water, or because of me, everything has changed?"

Two days later, in the first battle in San Antonio, the Spurs performed better than the Mavericks.

Danny Green has left the Cavaliers and moved to the Spurs. He also got some opportunities this season and performed well.

Looking at the Cavaliers who are currently extremely short of 3D players, it has to be said that it is a bit ironic.

The Spurs in this period still have a strong ability to tap role players.

In addition to Danny Green, the undrafted rookie Gary Neal returned from Europe many years ago and played a top outside shooter.

Relying on the defense that has not been completely lost, coupled with a completely matched bench lineup, the Spurs forced the Bobcats to the last minute.

Then, Li Ke's first solo performance since his comeback was staged.

"From the last 5 minutes of the game, Sheldon first hit a three-pointer in a counterattack, and then caught the ball and made mid-range shots in consecutive positional battles. After a wave of 9 points in a row, the Bobcats won the game."

"Although there was no 35-point performance in 13 seconds, the 5-point performance in the last 9 minutes helped the Bobcats determine the victory of this game."

"As expected of Mr. Key Sheldon Lee!"

At the end of the game, Kenny Smith praised Li Ke personally, and then turned to praise the Bobcats.

"The return of Sheldon has brought the Bobcats more sufficient firepower on the offensive end, single defense on the defensive end and the help defense that was seriously lacking before, as well as a big heart at critical moments. I can't think of any shortcomings in this Bobcats team."

In the last game of Lianke, the Bobcats took down the Rockets with ease.

Dayao still hasn't come back, and the Rockets are still rebuilding but not looking like rebuilding.

Last season, with the growth of Lowry and Scola, coupled with the firepower provided by Kevin Martin, and Adelman's all-in-one system, the Rockets' record has not been bad.

But in the competitive West, they still can't make the playoffs.

So, in this year's draft, with a draft pick at the end of the lottery, they selected Patrick Patterson, who is no different.

This season, they still maintain a record that looks good, but just can't make the playoffs.

But at the same time, gossip suggests that the Rockets may trade away Lowry, who is already a star, because his rookie contract expires, and he will leave the Rockets with a big contract with an annual salary of tens of millions.

Gou Lei thinks it's not worth it, and he got Goran Dragic from the Suns at the beginning of the season, so Lowry can leave.

"Mo Lei is a dog, a dog can't change his shit..."

After playing this away game, the Bobcats did not leave Houston immediately, but stopped in Houston for one night.

Li Ke and Dayao met at Yao's restaurant in Houston.

After some exchange, Li Ke scolded Gou Lei.

The reason has nothing to do with the event in the future, but has to do with the present.

Dayao's injury has not healed quickly, and injuries such as stress fractures are too easy to repeat.

Speaking of which, the Rockets have been up and down in the past two seasons, and it does have something to do with Dayao.

The Rockets have been preparing for Yao's return, so they have maintained the strength of the lineup, so that once Yao returns, they can return to the ranks of the playoffs.

But two seasons have passed, and Dayao has never shown signs of coming back.

Even the doctor's order is warning Dayao that it is best not to engage in high-intensity exercise.

This means that Dayao will retire.

Dayao didn't want to retire, he found a team of trainers, and planned to start with weight loss and gradually solve his own hidden dangers of injury.

The workload is huge and the hope is slim, but Dayao has made a decision.

As a result, Gou Lei began to urge him.

The meaning of urging is very cryptic, but anyone can guess it.

The Rockets have to find an answer, or Dayao will come back and play healthy.

Either Dayao will come back and announce his retirement after repeated injuries.

Anyway, the premise is Dayao's comeback.

Li Ke understands why Gou Lei is urging, the Rockets can't lose the Chinese market, so in the summer, they tried to get the United Arab Emirates from the Cavaliers.

As a result, the United Arab Emirates was unwilling to go to the Rockets. First, it was because he had a better choice. The Warriors were interested in him. Golden State is full of Chinese. Isn’t it much better than Houston?The second is that the United Arab Emirates does not want to go to Dayao's team.

It is also the second reason that led to the Rockets' urging of Dayao.

Of course, there is another reason. The contract between Dayao and the Rockets is about to expire. If they can't inspect the goods before the expiration, will they renew the contract after the expiration, or not?

These are the answers the Rockets are looking for.

As far as the Rockets are concerned, either Dayao will come back and play healthy, or the Rockets will start a plan.

The Chinese players in the NBA are not limited to Dayao and Ah Lian. In addition to Li Ke, there is also the great sage of the Lakers.

In Gou Lei's view, the Chinese-American Jeremy Lin is much better than Yao who is unable to play due to injury.

"Brother Yao, I think, don't worry about their urging, and don't rush to come back, come back after training, you are only 30 years old, according to common sense, you haven't reached your peak yet!"

"Is it okay to leave it alone?"

During the gap period of two seasons, Dayao was not so confident.

Li Ke was very firm: "Yes, just leave it alone! The decision to come back is up to you and they are not with them. If it doesn't work, just tell the uniform team that there is no way to come back now. If you really can't wait, terminate the contract!"

"Is it too embarrassing to terminate the contract?"

"They don't care about your health anymore, do you still care about tearing your face? Don't think so much, Brother Yao."

"All right……"

After leaving Houston, Li Ke didn't know if Dayao, who was a bit foolish and loyal, had listened to his words.

However, judging from Dayao's planned weight loss and preparation for his comeback, Dayao in this time and space is indeed very different.

Maybe, after another half a year, Dayao's healthy return to the NBA will really come true.

……

After even off, the Bobcats have another wave of consecutive home battles. The game has been winning non-stop, and the winning streak has continued.

As of Christmas, they won a wave of 10 consecutive victories like this.

After Li Ke came back, he still maintained a 100% winning rate.

Public opinion's evaluation of the Bobcats, also because of this ten-game winning streak, was forced to increase like a rising tide.

There are still three days before Christmas Eve, and the Christmas battle has also begun to warm up.

But before that, there was a piece of news from the sports world that exploded the country on the other side of the ocean——

"The mysterious wealthy businessman defeated the Fenway Sports Group in multiple rounds of bidding, invested 5.5 million US dollars, and successfully acquired the British giants Liverpool!"
