Chapter 336 Comeback debut
Just after November, the Bobcats lost 11 wins and 12 losses at home to the Eagles. In the end, with a record of 5 wins and 12 losses, Li Ke ushered in the return.
"The winning rate of 66.7% has far exceeded expectations."
"Now, our record is second only to the Bulls with 14 wins and 4 losses, and tied with the Magic with the same 12 wins and 6 losses."
Counting the game on December 12, the current ranking in the East is the Bulls, followed by the Bobcats and Magic with 1 wins and 12 losses.
After that, it is not the Cavaliers of the Big Three, but the Eagles who just defeated the Bobcats. They have 12 wins and 7 losses, ranking fourth in the Eastern Conference.
The Cavaliers are ranked fifth in the East, with a record of 12 wins and 8 losses, which has already made Danny Ferry burnt out.
It is unacceptable for the Big Three to be beaten like this, no matter what.
And those experts who advocated the Cavaliers' Big Three at the beginning of the season, faced with such a situation, can only turn to analyze the reasons for the Cavaliers' hip pull.
In fact, there is no need to analyze too much or too deep. The reason why the knight pulls his hips is very simple——
Bosh is fake, and the role players are trash.
Danny Ferry, who was originally full of ambitions, is now in a state of desperation because he has to find a way to approach and two problems.
If the wave giant is fake, then we have to start from tactics and make changes.
Therefore, Danny Ferry has been putting pressure on Larry Brown during this time to let Larry Brown solve the problem.
But he didn't know that it would be very dangerous to put pressure on the old man...
The problem of role players has to start with signings and substitutions.
The signings and substitutions have to rely on trades, but in order to retain Wade Bosh's bird rights, the first round is gone. There are only two first rounds that cannot be directly traded but have been sent for the swap rights.
The chips that Danny Ferry can take out are only a few bad contracts that seem to have a chance to save, or rookies who seem to have some potential.
For example, Bobcats veteran Earl Watson who does not meet LeBron's requirements, or second-year rookie power forward JJ Hickson.
But the difficulty of operation has increased by more than one level.
The difficulty was so great that LeBon even regretted staying in the Cavaliers after several exchanges with the management.
"Danny Ferry's ability to function is terrible!"
"If we knew this earlier, we shouldn't have stayed in Cleveland. New York and Miami are better choices!"
"Especially in New York, where Amare is, we can even get rid of Chris Bosh that trash!"
Cleveland, the car sped toward the airport.
Hearing the complaints of his childhood friend and current assistant, Midi Mims, LeBon had a gloomy face.
Rich Paul interrupted these complaints aloud: "Stop talking about Midi, don't you know the real reason why LeBron stayed in Cleveland?"
"I know, but now..."
"Stop it, Midi, it's really not Danny Ferry's fault for the lack of signings. Didn't you see how many calls and text messages LeBron made during the offseason?"
"That's Cleveland's problem too. Who wants to come to Cleveland if they can go to Los Angeles or New York?"
"Did you forget Adam Silver's phone number?"
"Okay, okay, I didn't forget..."
"We still have a chance, the mid-season deal is the key."
Rich Paul muttered, Lebron nodded silently.
Midi Mims shook his head: "The middle of the season? Don't think so far away. Think about it now. Tomorrow is the game against Sheldon Lee's comeback Bobcats. If you lose..."
After a pause, he pursed his lips: "Public opinion is unimaginable."
Le Bang's slightly relaxed face sank again.
……
At the airport, Lebron gathered his teammates together. Although he was in a bad mood, he still put on an approachable appearance. First, he hugged his good brother Wade.
Then he boarded the special plane and punched the group of CBA teammates whom he didn't like.
After more than an hour's flight, when we arrived in Charlotte, before getting off the plane, Lebon stood in the cabin and clapped his hands: "Guys, this game is very important, cheer me up, we want a victory!"
But when he got off the plane, the first person whose face became gloomy was Le Bang.
Because where he can see, the posters all over the city are still the same poster——
Li Ke held the ball in one hand and pointed forward with the other, and added the words: Im back!
He stomped on a three-headed horse vaguely, and even Le Bang, who was not quick to react, came over in an instant.
At this time, Larry Brown, at the front of the bus, had already pointed to the poster and started the exciting chicken soup.
The teammates were immediately excited, but Lebron's face was still dark.
……
At the Time Warner Center, Li Ke parked the car and sat in the car without getting out of the car immediately.
He took a deep breath and let it out.
Then, he broke off the vanity mirror on the roof of the car and looked at it again and again.
After realizing that there was nothing wrong, he picked up the small bag beside him and pushed open the car door.
Within two steps, the reporters in the distance spotted Li Ke, and immediately rushed over like a madman.
When the group of reporters approached, Li Ke suddenly felt as if he had come to the vegetable market, and his ears were buzzing.
He probably heard a few questions clearly, how does it feel to be suspended, is it boring; what kind of Bobcats record is not bad without you, will you be able to win the championship after you come back?
Li Ke stopped in his tracks, pressed his hands, and waited until his ears were quiet, turned his lower body, leaned his back against the door that reporters could not enter, and gave a conclusive answer——
"It feels good to be suspended. After all, as you said, without my Bobcats, I still played an outstanding record. It's just whether I want to win the championship. I don't think it should be discussed at the beginning of the season. I think it's okay to have the Big Three in the first game of my comeback. No, I even think that this is the best arrangement..."
"It's time to teach the Big Three a lesson and tell them that even if they hold together, they won't win the championship!"
After leaving these bold words, Li Ke entered the locker room with arrogance and arrogance.
When the door was pushed in, there was cheers in the locker room——
"Welcome back!"
"King's return!"
"Our boss is back!"
"..."
Old Du seemed to have prepared a ribbon, and when Li Ke entered the door, he threw it out.
Wesley Matthews seemed to have prepared the music, and then Curry led everyone and started dancing.
There was also the newly joined Captain Jack, who immediately hugged Li Ke and patted Li Ke on the back: "Welcome back!"
When Captain Jack let go, the bewildered Li Ke watched as Curry twisted his body and moved closer, his two little hands still beckoning.
"Come on!"
"Come on!"
This meant that Li Ke was invited to join.
Without even thinking about it, Li Ke pressed Curry's head, twisted it, then raised his leg, and kicked Curry's ass "viciously".
The music stopped immediately.
"Except for away games, isn't I in every game?"
"This time is different, Sheldon, you can finally play."
"Okay, okay, thank you, I'm really touched now!"
Li Ke was really moved when he said that. He patted Lao Du, then pulled Curry who was kicked over by him, and patted him.
"Don't talk nonsense, the emperor of Charlotte is back, so tonight's game should be a victory!"
"Don't worry, Sheldon, we will win tonight!"
The teammates promised swearingly, and Li Ke was also very confident.
From the end of last season to his comeback now, Li Ke's progress this summer can finally come in handy.
……
At the Time Warner Center, although it was just an ordinary game broadcast live across the United States, the opening ceremony was more grand than every game since the start of the season.
From Stephen Curry who played first, to Wesley Matthews, Stephen Jackson, and even Lance Stephenson... The cheers are getting louder and louder, and no fans are impatient because the main character has not appeared for a long time.
Because Curry, who was always the last to play, was the first to play in this game, which proves that the man that Charlotte fans miss, he is finally... back!
"at last……"
When the host shouted out the last set of words, there was a burst of screams.
"The last one to play is the best rookie in the NBA, the most improved player, the first team of the best team, the first team of the best defensive team, the winner of the 2008 NBA championship, the winner of the MVP of the finals, the pride of Charlotte, the chosen son of the basketball god..."
After all this, the next name is not important, the cheers are like a tsunami caused by an earthquake, sweeping across the sky and covering the sky.
"Sheldon—! Lee—!"
Li Ke also rushed into the infield of the long-lost Time Warner Center amidst deafening cheers, screams and shouts.
"Emperor Charlotte, he's back!"
The host shouted again, and then, the audience shouted in unison——
"Sheldon! Sheldon! Sheldon!"
"..."
At the entrance of the player tunnel, Lebon, who was about to go out and warm up, was sour and a little angry.
It's not that he thinks Li Ke shouldn't get these cheers and compliments, but——
"Fk! I am the Chosen One, and I am the Emperor!"
Lebron glared at the host who had stirred up the atmosphere of the audience.
But the host is also very wronged. The Chosen Son once belonged to Le Bang alone, but since the article in the bleachers last year, Le Bang's Chosen Son has been snatched by Li Ke.
As for the emperor, isn't Li Ke's current status in Charlotte the emperor?
Any questions?
Li Ke, who was waving his hands on the field, thought there was absolutely no problem.
……
"Okay, okay, don't be so excited, this game is the highlight..."
Before the start of the game, Rivers rarely started to down fire the five starting players. In the past, he was always on fire.
"Don't forget what was emphasized in the locker room, especially you, Sheldon, without you, we are the top three in the Eastern Conference. If we lose to the Cavaliers in this game..."
Li Ke smiled, he knew what Rivers meant.
If this game is lost, it is pure and simple-"Winning is not terrible, whoever is missing will be embarrassed; losing is not terrible, whoever is who is embarrassed."
A whistle sounded, and the starters on both sides came on the stage.
Li Ke looked at the referee of this game, Dan Crawford, who is also an "old friend".
After thinking about it, Li Ke stepped forward to say hello, and then returned to his seat.
It was Jr. Jordan and Varejao who jumped the ball. There was another beep, and Jr. Jordan jumped up and easily pulled the basketball away from Varejao's head.
"The game has begun. First of all, welcome the return of old friends. Yes, I mean Sheldon."
The commentary seat of TNT is still the commentary of old friend Barkley and Kenny Smith.
At the beginning, Jazz made a joke, and then returned to the topic,
"Look at the Bobcats starters after Shelton's return, point guard Stephen Curry, shooting guard Shelton, small forward Stephen Jackson, power forward Antawn Jamison, center DeAndre Jordan."
In fact, Li Ke replaced Wesley Matthews, from the bankrupt version of Li Ke to the genuine version.
"Look at the Cavaliers' starters, point guard Eddie House, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward LeBron James, power forward Chris Bosh, center Anderson Varejao."
There is actually nothing wrong with the Cavaliers' starting lineup. Outside of the Big Three, there is a blue-collar center on the inside and an average defensive three-point shooter on the outside. The elements of a championship team are all in place.
The problem is the bench, and the lack of blue-collar outsiders who can do the dirty work.
Therefore, in the starting matchup, no one thought that the Cavaliers would have problems.
Curry quickly controlled the ball across half court and handed it to Captain Jack.
Then there is Captain Jack's high position at the top of the arc to support.
On both sides are Li Ke and Curry's off-ball roaming, and Jamison's ambush in the bottom corner.
This style of play can be said to be infinitely close to that of Future Universe Yong.
"After Shelton returns, the Bobcats' outside firepower cannot be underestimated. Curry, Shelton, Stephen Jackson and Jamison, they have four scorers who can score 20+ in a single game..."
While Charles Barkley was talking, Li Ke rushed out a step, received a pass from Captain Jack, and shot without stopping.
It was Le Bang who was defending Li Ke, and he felt that he had defended well, and he also received the interference of raising his hand.
According to the experience of last season, there is an 81% chance that this goal will not be scored.
but--
Swish!
The sound of clearing nets ignited the Time Warner Center, under the waves of wild cheers from Charlotte fans, Kenny Smith shouted:
"Catch and shoot mid-range, Sheldon hits first pitch of the season!"
"This is a good start. It seems that his confidence in off-ball and shooting this season is greater than last season."
Le Bang was a little surprised, but Li Ke, who turned around to defend, was not surprised at all.
In the defensive round, the Bobcats, like the Cavaliers, switched defenses.
Li Ke went to defend Lebron, and Captain Jack faced Wade.
Speaking of which, Li Ke is the second position, and Captain Jack is the third position, but when the game really starts, Li Ke becomes the real third position.
On the sidelines, watching Lebron rush to the frontcourt and quickly face Li Ke, Rivers made a comparison.
"This height, this body shape... umm... Leaving aside the arm span, it's not much different. Sheldon seems to have grown taller again?"
"Didn't you read the physical measurement data? He has indeed grown taller, with shoes at 2 meters."
Elvin Gentry, who just got out of class from the Suns after the end of last season, is now the new chief assistant of the Bobcats. Rivers.
Rivers rolled his eyes: "Let's look at this wave of defense."
For this wave of defense, Rivers placed high hopes, the reason is also Li Ke, a Li Ke who has an A-level defense...
