I'm not really a role player

Chapter 132 The bet between Mei Yangyang and Fliggy (there is a plot vote at the end of the chapter)
The first quarter of the game ended like this. Li Ke scored 25 points, and the Bobcats scored a full 38 points.

In other words, other than Li Ke, the Bobcats' other players scored a total of 13 points.

And in these 13 points, Li Ke 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, it should be Shelton who smashed the Lakers' defense. Of the 38 points, 34 points are related to him."

"That's right, if Sheldon scored more than ten points in a game like usual, the Bobcats' lead in the first quarter would not be so huge."

"With a full 11-point lead, the Lakers will have a headache in the second quarter. The first thing they need to do is to try their best not to let the point difference widen..."

Phil Jackson really had a headache. He thought that double-teaming tactics would be enough to restrain Li Ke, a rookie. He even once thought that using double-teaming to deal with a rookie would be too bad for the Zijin giants.

The result was beyond his expectation. The double-teaming tactics did take effect for a while, but soon, this little rookie found a way to avoid the double-teaming.

"This guy is great off the ball, Kobe, you can't follow up enough..."

Kobe spread his hands, "But Phil, I still have to take offense."

"Leave the offense to Lamar. We have to guard against that rookie, otherwise it will be useless if you score more goals."

What Phil Jackson really doesn't want to admit is that he sees the shadow of the peak Michael Jordan in Li Ke, and the Kobe in front of him, to put it bluntly, is a copy of Jordan, and there is no way to compare with the peak Jordan...

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

The rest period in the NBA is only 2 minutes, which is not enough for Phil Jackson to adjust and arrange. When the second quarter of the game started, he was like an old monk, sitting in the coach's seat and settled down.

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

The substitutes of the two teams took turns to play, and it was actually a tie due to the rookies pecking at each other.

Speaking of which, the Lakers won two consecutive championships in the post-Sharks era. It really didn't depend on the depth of the bench. This Lakers team has many substitute players who can be named, but most of them are in the glory of Los Angeles.

If you have to say that this Lakers team has any role players who can still shine without the Lakers, there is only one answer-no, none.

As for the Lakers with two championships, if there is any role player who can be called top-notch, there is only one answer-Trevor Ariza who has not joined at the moment.

It is a bit too much to say that the Bobcats' substitute is a rookie.

But the difference is not too big, Earl Boykins has not yet reached the peak, Lao Du is still a rookie, Derek Anderson, Jeff McGinnis, Walter Herman are old and old, and the only one who can be regarded as the best is Nazr Muhammad.

The reason why Li Ke thinks that Okafor can be sent away is because of the existence of Nazr.

In this era of scarce big men, the Bobcats still have no shortage of centers.

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

This means that in half a quarter, the score is not widened, nor is it approaching.

Whether it is for the Bobcats or the Lakers, such a result is acceptable.

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

Bryant reappeared, played two rounds, and scored 2 points on 2-of-4 shooting.

Sam Vincent quickly replaced Li Ke.

Then, Li Ke relied on back-up singles and a fadeaway jumper to re-cut the Lakers' defense.

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 halftime, Li Ke's personal data became 21 of 15 shots, 31 points and 6 assists, rebounds, steals and other data were also involved...

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

During the 15-minute intermission, the comparison between Li Ke and Kobe was inevitably mentioned.

"In this Christmas game, Shelton's performance was really surprising and unexpected. I thought that this game would be a match between him and Kobe at most, 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 half, he almost doubled Kobe!"

Kenny Smith expressed his surprise, but Charles Barkley shook his head: "Actually, if you look back carefully at Shelton's rookie season, you will find that he is a very unstable rookie. He can be a god or a ghost. For example, in the Halloween game, he scored 47 points. 41 point, scored 5 consecutive three-pointers at the last moment, and finally killed the game with a back body..."

"There is also 37 points against the Jazz, but against the same opponents, he made 23 of 6 shots against the Jazz, 20 of 5 shots against the Bulls, and 24 of 8 shots against the Cavaliers..."

"There are countless bad games he played, but for a rookie, his explosive game is enough to make people look forward to him!"

Li Ke's explosive game proved that his upper limit was extremely high, but his poor performance in the game could not prove the lower limit, because he is a rookie, and it is normal for a creature like a rookie to make some mistakes.

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

"law?"

"That's right, he seems to explode only when facing a strong opponent... For the few examples you mentioned, against the Rockets, his opponent was Tracy, against the Nuggets, his opponent was Melo and AI, against the Jazz, his opponent was Deron. The only exception was the Wizards. Gilbert Arenas was not in that game."

"In case of strength, strength is stronger?"

Charles Barkley tilted his head and thought for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up:
"Maybe it's not that the strong is strong, but the opponent gave him some stimulation. Tracy of the Rockets, Melo and AI of the Nuggets, and Kobe in this game, didn't you find any rules? That's right, three of the four major shooting guards are here. The rest of Vince Carter, he has also encountered, but it must be admitted that the demigod has fallen too far."

"With the exception of two games, before the Jazz's game, they suffered a disastrous away game. In the Wizards' game, if I remember correctly, Shelton had a conflict with Deshawn Stevenson. Before the conflict, his performance was tepid. After the conflict, he began to explode. The NCAA's name of death brought to the NBA started from that game."

Fliggy and Kenny Smith were having a heated discussion, but Mei Yangyang couldn't get in.

However, he didn't intend to intervene. He just changed the subject at the end of the discussion between Fliggy and Kenny Smith—

"Let's talk about the second half of the game. I think after a 15-minute intermission, the Lakers were able to adjust their defense back, and the countdown to the comeback is on!"

"Countdown countdown?"

"That's right!"

"Are you so sure?"

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

Mei Yangyang became famous because of his big mouth. Of course, at this point in 07, he was not yet a famous brickman, and his big mouth was still fresh. Charles Barkley was a little impulsive and couldn't bear it.

He partnered with Kenny Smith to commentate, and Kenny Smith has always cheated him, and he has never cheated anyone else.

This time, he decided to act on Namei Yangyang.

"Then how about a gamble?"

"Betting on whether the Lakers come back or not? Yes!"

"What about the bet, what is the bet?"

Kenny Smith joined in at this time, raising his hand: "I have a proposal-if Stephen wins, Charles will go to Charlotte and teach post-up singles live. If Charles wins, Stephen will invite Sheldon to participate in a special episode of yours. How about kissing Charles' ass in the show?"

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

Mei Yangyang nodded: "I agree!"

"Charles' objection is invalid, so it's settled!"

The fans in front of the TV became excited, but in the locker room, Li Ke didn't know that TNT's commentary booth had already made a bet around him.

Kenny Smith would like to see Barkley go to Charlotte to teach live back-ups. He is sure that between Jordan and Barkley's back-ups, Sheldon will definitely choose Jordan's back-ups. At that time, Barkley will receive endless humiliation...

Therefore, in the second half of the game, Kenny Smith began to cheer for the Lakers.

In the second half of the game, Kobe also broke out for a while, but Li Ke returned and stabilized the situation by relying on his steady back hit, mid-range and fadeaway jumpers.

The score didn't widen, but it didn't shrink either.

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

Then comes the decisive battle in the fourth quarter...

It is said to be a decisive battle, but it actually went very smoothly.

From start to finish, the Bobcats have maintained a leading position.

The closest the Lakers came to a comeback was halfway through the fourth quarter when Kobe broke out suddenly and scored two three-pointers in a row.

Li Ke's defense was in place, but he still couldn't stop Kobe's goal.

But then, the Bobcats scored 7 points in a row in two rounds. One was Li Ke assisting Fei Dunbiao to score a three-pointer, and the other was Matt Carroll, who is extremely good at playing four-pointers, and scored a 3+1...

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

……

The excessive plot is almost written, and the next step is to determine the plot direction of the next stage. Yi Wen decided to ask for suggestions from book friends:

[-]. Continue to stay in the Bobcats, improve the strength of the team according to the previously written transaction, and the goal is the playoffs for the time being.

[-]. After a period of excessive drama, he was traded and went to a strong team to compete for the championship.

Choose one of the two, and the next plot will follow the one with more chapters and comments.

The two plots are actually very different. I hope book lovers can make choices after careful consideration. Spoilers are involved, so I won’t go into details.

Or if you have other ideas, you can also leave a message here.

　This chapter only has 3.2k words, so today’s update counts as 1k, and Yi Wen will remember it by himself.

　　In addition, I would like to thank the rewards of Time [-], Fantastic Book Reading, Sad Maple, Crazy Books into a Cupboard, and Dumb Books. Well, if there are more rewards, it is recommended to make up the whole reward, and more will be added for a single reward of more than [-].
