I'm not really a role player

Chapter 176 Chicago's Big Nephew
On the 29th, away, the Bobcats challenged the Knicks.

In the third game of the old shark, he only played 25 minutes, and abused another small shark, Eddie Curry, with 16 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks.

After Li Ke broke out, he must be sluggish. Ke played soy sauce in this game, and he was worth 13 points on 5 of 14 shots.

面对鱼腩大打出手的是老艾和杰拉德华莱士，前者三节比赛就17投11中轰下27分，后者也15投10中，得到22分。

The AWSL combination scored 79 points, and the Bobcats took the Knicks lightly and won two consecutive victories.

At the end of February 2008, on the first day of March, the NBA announced the Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month for February.

Li Ke lost the rookie of the first month since entering the NBA, which is a bit cruel.

You know, from November to February, Xiao Du next door is not bad every month, and all the best of the month are in his pocket.

But he lost one, speaking of it, he was not wronged.

In February, the Bobcats played 2 games, and Li Ke only played 13 games because of two suspensions.

11场场均16.1分3.5个篮板2.5个助攻1.5个抢断，47%的命中率，效率不算低，但场均得分下滑的比较大。

Among them are the reasons why the Nuggets retired with only 6 points, and the completion of the combination task, and the reason for the sharp drop in shot rights after the arrival of Lao Ai and Lao Sha, and perhaps the reason why Li Ke did not open and explode to increase the data this month.

(In November, Li Ke scored 11 points against the Rockets. In December, Li Ke scored 47 points against the Lakers. In January, Li Ke scored 12 points against the Celtics.)
All in all, Li Ke in February entered a somewhat unstable period. He scored 2 points at the top and only 27 points in the four quarters at the bottom. The up and down fluctuations are not big but not small.

Just to win, Li Ke has to control his shots in most of the games. In the state of Li Ke, the average data that Li Ke can win is almost like this.

The data in February has declined, and Li Ke's data for the whole season has also declined. Li Ke has played 2 games, and his scoring average has dropped to 56 points per game, but his shooting percentage has risen to 20.8%. Li Tie is no longer iron.

Speaking of the best rookie of the month, to be honest, rookies averaged 16.1 points per game, which is not too low. 07 was not a big year, and there were almost no rookies in the Eastern Conference that could compete with Li Ke.

Looking at the statistics of the opponent who snatched his rookie of the month, 12.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.0 blocks, and 43.4% shooting, Li Ke was actually a little unconvinced.

Can this stat rob him of the Rookie of the Month award?The statistics are higher in terms of rebounds and blocks, and they still have the advantage of the inside line. The shooting percentage is lower, and the team's record is even worse...

But after looking at this person's name, Li Ke decided, forget it.

That's right, the one who snatched Li Keyue's best rookie was none other than Ah Lian.

Speaking of which, Li Ke is still happy for Ah Lian. He made suggestions and ideas several times, and Ah Lian obviously listened to him. His explosion came, and the NBA finally began to adapt to Ah Lian.

The UAE broke out, and the Rockets in the West are also making great strides. After the February game, the Rockets' winning streak reached 2 games.

Dayao was also absent from the 13th game winning streak due to injuries. Even so, on March 3, the Rockets still won the game against the Grizzlies, winning 1 consecutive games...

"It seems that my little butterfly fan is not strong enough, the Rockets' 22-game winning streak is still here..."

In February, Li Ke still had another milestone that he did not make a big deal of, which was the first game against the Warriors. His 2th point was his 11th point in the NBA.

The reason why he didn't make a big fuss is that he didn't become the youngest Mr. 1000 points in NBA history.

乐邦在19岁零41天的时候，拿到NBA生涯的第1000分，已经是19岁100多天了……

He is not the youngest, but he is already very young. The country has praised him fiercely, and he is more and more optimistic about Li Ke's future.

……

In March, the first game, at home, the Bobcats' opponent was the Toronto Raptors.

Emeka Okafor, Jeff McGinnis, the two Bobcats' old futures are a spectacle.

Another point of view is that the two teams are now ranked shoulder to shoulder in the Eastern Conference.

The Raptors are 32 wins and 25 losses, sixth in the East, and the Bobcats are 31 wins and 27 losses, seventh in the East.

For the time being, the Bobcats are still 1.5 wins behind, but this game can be regarded as two games. If the Bobcats win, the gap in wins will be reduced to 0.5 immediately.

Therefore, whether it is the Bobcats or the Raptors, this game was played very hard.

Okafor wanted to prove himself very much. He had been looking forward to returning to Charlotte for a big fight, but when the expectation became a reality, he understood the cruelty of reality.

"What about Nazr? Who allowed you to change to Shaq?"

With such doubts, the old shark spent 29 minutes on the Bobcats' former center and scored 18 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

Looking at Okafor again, 13 points and 11 rebounds are also 2 blocks, which is not bad.

But comparing people to people is just pissing people off.

Most of Okafor's 13 points were cakes, and the Bobcats' cakes were eaten up by Li Ke and Hua Erer. Lao Sha's 18 points were all scored by him with one ball and one ball inside.

Whether it is data or effect, Okafor is far inferior to the old shark.

The AWSL team worked hard. In addition to Lao Sha's 18 points, Lao Ai scored 25 points, Hua Laoer 19 points, Li Ke 20 points, and the four together scored 82 points.

On the Raptors side, Bosh, who scored 30 points and 11 rebounds, was unable to support himself...

The Bobcats won another victory at home. After defeating the Lakers, they won three consecutive victories!

It may be more important to narrow the win gap with the Raptors to 0.5. The Bobcats, who broke out later, are getting closer and closer to sixth in the Eastern Conference.

Looking up again, they can see the fifth Wizards in the Eastern Conference.

……

On the 4th, in the second game in March, the Bobcats played against the Bulls.

The introduction of elite troops, the last time the two teams played against each other, the Bulls were no longer the opponents of the Bobcats.

There was another old shark in this game, and the Bobcats naturally won the away game easily.

But the old shark's performance was not very good. The rookie center Jokinoah seemed to have found a way to deal with him.

After the game, I can only sigh with emotion: Generations of talented people come out...

After the game, the Bobcats stopped overnight in Chicago before heading back to Charlotte the next morning.

But Li Ke didn't go back, the team happened to be on vacation, and he went to Chicago again, so he naturally wanted to meet his eldest nephew. After all, this was what he promised Guo to guide.

I made a phone call to Guidance Guo, confirmed the name of the high school, and asked for the phone number of my nephew in Laomei by the way.

Then, another call was made to David Falk——

"Simon High School? That's Derrick Rose's alma mater. You asked for leave just to visit his alma mater? Are you eyeing Derrick Rose?"

David Falk is suddenly a babbling old woman who seems to have a lot of problems.

Li Ke wanted to laugh. He didn't expect that the school that his eldest nephew was looking for was actually Rose's alma mater. Does this mean to create a point guard inheritance?
Speaking of which, the style and characteristics of the elder nephew are somewhat similar to Ross. Of course, there is still a gap in ability. If the elder nephew is a Chinese Ross, the difference is not much.

"What are you thinking, David, I have a compatriot who just entered Simon High School this year."

"A basketball player too?"

"Yes."

After explaining the reason and talking about other topics, Li Ke hung up the phone, took a taxi, and went straight to Simon High School.

When he arrived at the place, Li Ke called his eldest nephew, and then went around by himself.

Soon, he met his eldest nephew next to the basketball hall of Simon High School.

"Wow, Brother Li, an idol!"

Seeing this kid who yelled and called himself an idol, Li Ke didn't know whether it was good or bad for his eldest nephew to choose to develop in the United States under his influence...

You know, in 08, the eldest nephew had already made his debut in China. In 10 years, when he was only 17 years old, he entered the CBA.

For the eldest nephew, without Li Ke's influence, he will start his career early and his growth rate will be accelerated, but correspondingly, his skills will be finalized earlier.

When I come to the United States, I will play in the high school league first. The competition is huge and there are many uncertainties.

Thinking of this, Li Ke pulled his eldest nephew, and the content of the chat became mainly about encouragement.

"How about it, do you think there is any difference between the United States and China?"

"Time is tighter in this corner of the United States..."

"Because studying in the United States is as important as basketball..."

Li Ke, who has experience, smiled. In the domestic youth sports teams, studies are basically thrown aside.

For me, studying is still very important. If you don't have enough credits, no matter how good your game is, you won't be able to make it to the NCAA.

"So, you have to work hard, the coach of Simon High School should be pretty good."

"Of course, the core point guard of the NCAA University of Memphis was taught by him, so he won't be eliminated anyway."

"Then you chose the right school. Derrick Rose is a strong man. The No. [-] pick in this year's draft is hot."

When Li Ke described how strong Rose was, the eldest nephew looked with anticipation in his eyes.

"Has the coach given you time to play?"

"Yes, but not much..."

gave?

Li Ke was a little surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, his eldest nephew played in the CBA at the age of 17 when he was in China, which is obviously a precocious kind.

(Guo Ailun is suspected of changing the age. The suspicion is still very serious. Yi Wen knows it, but here it is not changed by default. After all, if it is changed by default, the world will be in chaos, and there will be a lot of changes by default.)
It is not surprising that he can play in Laomei.

"Not much is better than nothing. Back then, when I was a freshman in high school, I sat on the bench for a year..."

"So, the most important thing for the development of Laomei is daily training. You can play less games, but you can't be vague in training. During training and games, patience is the second most important..."

After chatting for a while, Li Ke learned that his eldest nephew had a game in the afternoon.

He stayed another noon to watch a big nephew's game.

The opponent was a high school called Vision Charter, and the eldest nephew made a brief appearance. Facing a point guard who was around 183 and wearing thick glasses, he quickly broke through and scored two goals.

Li Ke compared the main point guards of Simon High School: "The elder nephew should be stronger than the main force of their team. Rose, the high school mentor, should have overwhelmed the elder nephew..."

As for the 183-bespectacled master on the opposite side, a tool man who dribbled the ball across the half court and handed it directly to the inside line, it didn't look strong.

"Laomei's development is really good and bad. My nephew can't play in the CBA. I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter the national team early, but this technology is not finalized, and there is a great possibility in the future..."

……

Back from Chicago, the Bobcats' March journey continues.

After defeating the Bulls to win four consecutive victories, they defeated the rotten Heat and the Eagles who were already in the lottery zone at home one after another, and after two victories, the Wizards, who were already ranked shoulder to shoulder in the Eastern Conference...

The four-game winning streak turned into a seven-game winning streak.

Then, against the Cavaliers again, although Lebron was very competitive this time, he missed his long shot, making Li Ke's single defense useless.

But relying on the contribution of the core four to score 87 points again, the Bobcats defeated the extremely unstable Cavaliers this season and extended the winning streak to 8 games.

In this victory, the core competitiveness of the Bobcats was fully revealed——

The AWSL combination, four letters, in short, they have four All-Star players.

They don't have super giants in the true sense. Lao Ai and Lao Sha are super giants at their peak, but they are not super giants now.

Li Ke and Hua's second son are not super giants, that's for sure, whether it will be in the future, it's hard to say...

Not having a superstar is a shortcoming of the Bobcats, but they have four All-Stars, that is, a quad-core lineup.

The advantage of the quad-core lineup is that no matter what kind of game it is, any one of the four cores may explode into a super giant.

Some people in the quad-core may occasionally pull their hips, but with the other three-core at the bottom, the lower limit of the Bobcat will be very high...

Bobcat's quad-core is not the same as the Lakers F4 later. Bobcat's quad-core is an extremely suitable quad-core.

Not to mention that Li Ke mainly plays off the ball. The old sharks may have the same tactical position requirements as the Lakers' happy beasts, but the old sharks' low positions are not bad.

At the end of his career, it can be said that Lao Sha is relying on his status to make a living.

As soon as the old shark came, Sam Vincent sent a set of low-back tactics, which can be seen...

The Bobcats have no such role as Gasol, and the Lakers are F4. Gasol can only be mentioned in the high position because of the happy beast that needs to play in the low post. The core of the triangle offense is thus useless.

On the Lynx side, the position of the second Hua is similar to that of the sister-in-law, and the functions are roughly the same. The sister-in-law can grab rebounds, and the second Hua can also do it.

But the difference is that Hua's second has a strong ability to eat cakes, and he doesn't have a high possession rate of the ball. He also has one-handed steals and single defense. After all, Hua's second is stronger in diversity.

Then there is the guard combination. The guard combination of Nash and Kobe is not a conflict, but the old man left the sun doctor and immediately suffered a lot of injuries.

Looking at Lao Ai again, he is not injured or sick, and his condition is not bad. This is a big gap.

Compared with Kobe, who was at the peak in the end, Li Ke is much worse than Kobe, but Li Ke is better than Kobe in terms of functions such as key shots and single defense against opponent arrow players.

It is precisely these functions of Li Ke that Lao Ai can play more easily.

To put it bluntly, the adaptation of the Lynx AWSL combination, the style and characteristics of Li Ke, who is more like a master key, is the most critical.

Relying on the outstanding performance of the Bobcat F4, the March of the Bobcats went very steadily...
