I'm not really a role player

Chapter 111 Before the Halloween War (4.2K first update!)

With a short sentence of goodbye next time, Li Ke and Lian Mei parted ways. Afterwards, he was stopped by Yang Wu's reporter Liu Jia.

"Didn't you interview him before the match?"

Li Ke rolled his eyes, but Liu Jia giggled and pointed at the camera: "It's live!"

Depend on!
"Okay, let's start, I will turn around and leave if it is too complicated."

Liu Jia smiled and signaled the cameraman behind him to turn on the camera. When the signal was connected, Li Ke greeted the camera and asked the first question.

"Are you satisfied with your own performance today?"

Li Ke nodded: "It's quite satisfactory, it can be regarded as playing what I am good at."

"Is there anything you want to say to Ah Lian? His efficiency is also very high today..."

"Come on, let's work together!"

The first two questions were quite simple, but for the third question, Liu Jia started to make Li Ke scratch his head.

"It can be seen that as the No. 10 rookie of this year, your status in the Bobcats seems not so high? You have very few ball possessions, and the number of shots is only in the early [-]s, and you can hardly see any specific tactics. Do you think the Bobcats have trained you enough?"

Scratching his somewhat greasy scalp in his hair, Li Ke thought for a while:
"Actually, I'm just a No. 8 rookie. Ah Lian is two picks higher than me, but his playing time and number of shots are less than mine. I think your question is more suitable to ask Ah Lian..."

Although he said so, Li Ke knew very well that his situation was different from that of Ah Lian.

The Bucks can be regarded as a second-rate strong team on paper, with pure scorers like Reid and Xiao Mo in the team.

But Li Ke is in a bad team like the Bobcats. Even Boss Hua, who has a chance to average 20+ per game this season, is also a scorer who is forced out of the dwarfs.

It stands to reason that he should be able to get more shots.

Why not?
Simple, he didn't have the ball...

The problem of holding the ball is indeed urgent, but there is no rush.

After all, holding the ball is not a matter of one skill, but a combination of multiple skills such as ball control, breakthrough, and post-up singles. It has to be done one by one...

Therefore, before holding the ball, Li Ke was already very satisfied with his current team positioning.

But the combination task previously released by the system, efficient performance can conquer the coaching staff and get more possessions?

Li Ke expressed doubts.

TNT's commentary seat is also discussing Li Ke's performance in this game. Kenny Smith believes: "As the No. 8 rookie, Sheldon's performance is already very good. He perfectly completed the tasks assigned to him by Sam Vincent, shooting off the ball, opening up space, and defending the opponent's arrow players. This is no different from what he did at the University of Texas."

Charles Barkley followed up with a sentence: "There is still a big heart."

"Isn't the three-pointer at the last moment enough to prove his big heart? The closer to the critical moment, the better his performance."

"..."

Boss Joe, who was in Charlotte, watched the game on TV and became very happy.

"A win, and Sheldon played flawlessly, we gotta celebrate, Tim."

Tim Graver rolled his eyes. This kind of Michael Jordan is not the same as the Jordan in his impression. Emmm, the Jordan in his impression is mostly the Jordan of the Bulls...

Jordan hurriedly opened a bottle of red wine, poured half a glass each, and gave a glass to Tim Graver.

Then raise your glass: "Cheers! Tim!"

After taking a sip of the red wine, he seemed to have remembered something, and took out his phone...

Larry Bird in Indianapolis got a call from Joe's boss

The phone was connected, and Larry Bird was silent.

After a long while, he only replied: "Why should I watch the game of that lousy Bobcats team?"

Then, he hung up the phone.

Glancing at Johensen who was puzzled in front of him, he complained blankly:

"Michael Jordan, that brainless guy, he called and asked if I saw the Bobcats game today? Why should I watch the Bobcats game?"

Bobcats game?
Joe Henson immediately thought of the No. 8 rookie.

"Sheldon Lee?"

Although he thought of the name, Johensen didn't call it out in front of Larry Bird.

At the beginning of the draft, he mainly used the last pick in the lottery to select Li Ke, but later Li Ke did not perform well in the trial training, and the matter was over.

Even so, Joe Henson still believes that the Pacers should take a gamble, the pick at the end of the lottery is embarrassing, choose the cornerstone?It is impossible for the cornerstone player to fall into this pick, and the selection will lose a little bit of combat power, so it is better to take a gamble.

Of course, it's too late to say these things now. The Bobcats had a brain twitch and directly selected Li Ke with the 8th pick. Even if the Pacers wanted to gamble, they couldn't.

"I know who you're thinking of."

Joe Henson didn't say a word, but Larry Bird seemed to have a pair of eyes that see through everything: "Isn't Sheldon Lee? To be honest, Joe, I'm already thinking about your position in the team."

"?"

"Because you have taken a fancy to the player that Michael Jordan likes, which makes me doubt your vision..."

"..."

Charlotte, although the phone was hung up, Boss Joe became even more excited.

"Larry Bird hung up on me directly. He looked very angry, haha, and he even argued that he didn't watch the Bobcats game. This guy obviously did!"

Tim Graver did not respond, but Jordan was still dissatisfied. He was like the queen in Snow White: "Tim, do you think I won this draft confrontation?"

Tim Graver thought about Li Ke and nodded.

He ordered very seriously and solemnly.

"That's right, Michael, for this one time alone, you win."

"Everyone is saying that Larry Bird is the best in the three fields of players, coaches, and management..."

Boss Qiao only said half of what he said, and he held back the rest.

Tim Graver was taken aback. Old Joe meant that he was going to come back as a coach?
……

Back in the locker room, took a shower, and changed into a new jersey. Li Ke sat in his seat and flipped through his phone.

Xiao Du sent him a text message——

"I watched the game, Sheldon, great start, keep working hard!"

Li Ke smiled, pressed his fingers quickly, edited a text message and replied:

"Come on for tomorrow's game, Kevin."

For Laomei, the cost of a text message is about ten cents, which is not expensive for Li Ke, and no matter how many times he sends, he will not feel distressed, but it is not convenient.

At this time, Li Ke began to miss WeChat.

"Why don't you set up a WeChat account in Laomei?"

Instant messaging software, the mainstream of the world in the future will be three main, WeChat (WeChat), WhatsApp and Line.

These three, the earliest WhatsApp was released in 2009.

As a carrier, smart phones have gradually become popular. When Apple releases the iphone3G mobile phone next year, the development of smart phones will open a new era...

Thinking of this, Li Ke, who was worried that there was nowhere to use the more than 300 million US dollars left in his bank account, made a decision.

"Well, it's not for making money, it's just for people to get closer and make contact more convenient, that's all."

He called Lu Ning: "Old Lu, are you in San Francisco now? Let's meet in Houston..."

After playing this opener, the Bobcats have to continue the away game.

The next game is Halloween, against the Rockets, who have to fly from Milwaukee to Houston.

The Chinese derby is one game after another. The new season has just started, and the Bobcats have to embark on consecutive away games. The league's schedule is unreasonable.

Although he was complaining so much, Li Ke found that his teammates were very happy.

The opening game, the Halloween battle, and even the subsequent Christmas battle, when will it be the Bobcats' turn?
These are the focus battles that attract the attention of the whole United States and even the whole world. The exposure is by no means comparable to other ordinary games. If you play one game and perform well, your net worth will increase a lot.

So, with everything packed in the locker room at the Bradley Center, the Bobcats were on their way.

From Milwaukee to Houston, the flight time can be lost. Li Ke, who got the ticket, did the math. He took off at about [-] o'clock at night and could not arrive until around [-] o'clock in the morning.

This night's flight is exhausting...

But Li Ke's teammates didn't feel tired at all. They had a heated discussion as soon as they boarded the plane.

"It's all the opening game, and the Rockets won too."

"It was a thrilling win. Sean Battier made a three-pointer in the last 2.5 seconds. Although Kobe wanted to tie the game at the end, he was fouled and made 2 of 1 free throws. The Rockets narrowly won by 2 points and took away the victory from Staples."

"Jared, after retiring, you are very suitable to be a commentator on TNT."

"..."

"By the way, Halloween battle, we have to dress up, have you brought anything?"

Fei Dun raised his hand and showed a cheap smile: "I brought it, hehehe..."

"What did you bring?"

"A Spider-Man one-piece suit."

"Uh……"

Seeing Lao Du's hesitation, Fei Dun was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"I'm Spider-Man too..."

"Depend on!"

"What about you, Derek?"

"captain Jack."

"FK, I am also Captain Jack!"

"Haha, luckily I chose Transformers."

"Uh, Gerald, I'm Bumblebee."

"And me, I'm Optimus Prime..."

"Damn! I'm also a bumblebee when I step on a horse!"

In May 07, Spider-Man 5 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3 were released separately, so two Spider-Man and two Captain Jack...

But more of them are Transformers, because Transformers was just released in July, and it became an instant hit, and there are already more fans who don't know how many...

Li Ke watched the conversation of this group of people, wanted to laugh, but couldn't, because he was a newcomer, and he wasn't prepared for Halloween or anything.

When Old Du and Fettun looked at him and asked, "What about you, Sheldon?"

"Me?" Li Ke frowned, he was thinking hard, "I brought a Boss Joe's jersey, and I will wear that jersey to play."

"What the hell is this impersonation, Sheldon, Halloween isn't like that..."

Even so, Li Ke could only spread his hands. Who told him to come out without any preparations?Fortunately, there is still a bobcat No. 23 jersey with M.Jordan written on the back that Joe boss gave him in the suitcase, so I just borrowed it.

But this made him remember. For next year's Halloween, he will have to prepare a Death suit in advance.

……

The plane landed in Houston at four o'clock in the morning on October 10.

After getting on the bus, Li Ke looked around Houston at four o'clock in the morning, followed the team and checked into the hotel, and began to sleep.

Until around noon, he received a call from Dayao.

"Li Ke? Have you arrived in Houston?"

"Brother Yao, we're here, I'm here."

"Then let's meet before the match?"

"Okay, tell me the address, I'll go directly."

Half an hour later, Li Ke met Dayao at Yao's Restaurant on Polk Avenue.

Not only Dayao, Li Ke also met Teacher Su Qunsu, Charlotte's team reporter Shen Liren, and a young face he had never seen before.

"Let me introduce you, Mr. Su and Shen Liren. You should know each other. This is Fu Yu, a Chinese reporter from Houston."

"Hello……"

Li Ke greeted these uncrowned kings from China, and then sat down.

"Would you like something to eat? I can cook authentic Chinese food here."

When Dayao introduced, Li Ke was not polite, and directly ordered two of his favorite dishes.

"Then let's get some fried pork and Kung Pao chicken."

"it is good."

Dayao asked the waiter to go to the back kitchen to order, and he continued to chat here.

While chatting, the food came out, and it seemed that other people should have ordered it a long time ago.

The first dish was pickled fish, and Li Ke didn't move his chopsticks.

"Why don't you eat, Li Ke?"

Teacher Su was a little puzzled, Li Ke twitched the corner of his mouth: "Who ordered the pickled fish, this dish has a bad meaning."

Fu Yu raised his hand: "I ordered, what should I say?"

"It's sour, vegetable and stupid..."

"..."

Li Ke seemed to be telling a bad joke, and the atmosphere was a bit cold, but Dayao laughed out loud, and his laughter immediately turned into a meme.

"By the way, Li Ke, yesterday's game was very good."

Teacher Su praised Li Ke, and Li Ke thanked him, but he turned his head and took out his phone and flipped to the photo album.

"I'll show you the domestic reports."

"Pioneer": Li Ke made a key three-pointer, and the Bobcats defeated the Bucks and won their first win of the season!

"Sports Weekly": China Derby, Li Ke and Ah Lian are efficient...

"Sina.com": Li Ke scored 15 points crazy, he led the team to win!
"Sina.com": 5 out of 4 are efficient and easy, although his defeat is glorious!
The first two are fine, but the last two, seeing Li Ke's face twitch.

"Who wrote the last two?"

Shen Liren was also happy, and replied: "I don't know, I sent back the press release, and these things are all Sina's free play."

Su Qun also smiled: "Let me see, this article is signed by Guda? It should be an editor from Sina."

"It should be, this news is written, it's too messed up."

Dayao also smiled: "Mr. Su, can you say hello to Sina, and tell them not to write such news that makes a stick at a glance."

Su Qun shook his head: "No, Sina is an online media, and we are not in the same circle."

Then, he laughed again: "In fact, Sina has posted a lot, you can look at these again..."

"Sina.com": Man Without Eyebrows performed poorly in the first game, and Space Yi played bravely as a substitute!
"Sina.com": The pick-and-roll screen plus CIC, the offensive end of Liandi is beginning to pose a threat.

"Sina.com": Two hot pots prove the defense, he is more comprehensive than the driver...

"Why is it all news from the United Arab Emirates?"

Dayao asked a question, and Li Ke was also very curious.

Su Qun just smiled: "I don't know, Li Ke's report was the one just now, and Ah Lian posted a bunch of it."

But Li Ke was thoughtful because of this, and probably guessed the reason.
