I'm not really a role player

Chapter 180 Relationship NCAA Draft
On the second day of the competition day, the headlines of major newspapers and magazines in North America were replaced by——

"Charlotte Observer": The four-person combination scored 88 points, and the Bobcats beat the Rockets at home!

"ESPN": The entire game was suppressed, and the Bobcats double-killed in the season, which has become the Rockets' sufferer.

"Basketball Times": Losing away, the Rockets' winning streak stopped at 20 games...

The same goes for the domestic side——

"Sina Sports": Concentrating on offense and defense, McGrady is out of the sky!
"Pioneer": Without Yao, the Rockets won 8 games in a row, with a total of 20 consecutive victories, and the Rockets made history!
Without Dayao, half of the game's highlights were lost. The North American side didn't even arrange a national live broadcast. After a game, no one hit any shocking statistics. The highest score was Li Ke's 27 points.

But after the game, the game still dominated the headlines of the media in both countries.

The main reason is that the Rockets’ 20-game winning streak is indeed too high. There are only 3 times in NBA history. The first two times were in the 20s.

Look at this 20-game winning streak Rockets. Before the 20-game winning streak, they didn't even make it to the first echelon of the strong teams this season, let alone the class bully.

During the 20-game winning streak, there were also constant injuries. McGrady missed one game first, and played a few games with injuries after his comeback.

Dayao only played the first 12 games, and the role players also changed back and forth. Hai Ye and Uncle Mu at the center position, Shenniao and Scola at the power forward, Battier, Novak, Mike Harris and Hyde at the second and third positions, and Alston, Xiaobu and Bobby Jackson at the point guard position have all played impressive performances.

Counting the rotations, plus Yao Mai, all rushed to the thirteen or four.

A 20-game winning streak with frequent injuries and frequent rotations of the main force, can the gold content not be high?

And when this gold-rich ultra-long winning streak is ended by the Bobcats, a headline is a must.

There is nothing to say in the old American report, and ESPN picked up a mouthful of saliva, and the Bobcats became the Rockets' sufferer. The report also mentioned two duels, Li Ke's suppression of Tracy McGrady.

The conclusion is that Li Ke is McGrady's sufferer.

Then, Lao Mei, one of the many McGrady fans, went full blast.

It's the same in China. Sina's reports are lower than ESPN's, and the comments below are even harder to read.

Speaking of which, there are quite a few McGrady fans in China. Dayao brought some of them to him, and he himself has attracted a lot of fans by relying on his crazy personal performance during the Magic period, and 35 seconds and 13 minutes.

Although they are teammates with Dayao, there are also constant battles between Yao Mi and Mai Mi in China, such as the battle for the top card, who is responsible for winning the game, and whose fault is for losing the game, etc.

Just like this 20-game winning streak, Dayao missed the last eight games. Maimi said directly: Without Yao Ming, the Rockets are better.

The basis is still very sufficient. First of all, without Yao, the Rockets' winning streak is still going.

Secondly, Dayao's 12-game winning streak, the Rockets averaged 99.9 points per game and conceded 89.8 points per game.

In the eight-game winning streak without Yao, the Rockets averaged 8 points and conceded 101.6 points per game.

In other words, without Dayao, the Rockets' offense and defense are better, and the variables are controlled, so it goes without saying who is the cancer?

Yao Mi could only defend weakly, while Li Ke, a man who was forced to stand against McGrady by Sina's report, wanted to give a rational evaluation.

In other words, the fact that the Rockets played better without Yao is simply due to the Princeton system.

McGrady will prove this soon, emmm, it is not fast to say fast, and it will not be until next season at the earliest.

In the 08-09 season, Tracy McGrady played with an injury, and he performed poorly at the beginning of the regular season. Because he played too poorly, he decided to undergo surgery in the middle of the season, and then he was reimbursed for the season.

As a result, the Mailess Rockets broke into the second round in a historic way...

But it's not certain, Li Ke's butterfly effect is still very likely to wipe out the scene where McGrady proved himself.

Let me talk about the present, the domestic Kemi and Maimi are already at war under the report of Sina.

Speaking of it, the number of fans of Li Ke in China is not too large. He only attracted a group of fans by relying on his status as an outside player and several highlights. Compared with hard fans, more passers-by fans who love Chinese basketball.

And in this level of battle, it is still hardcore fans who are exerting their strength and entering the play.

Maimi's side has also passed the peak, and many fans turned black, so the number of fans on both sides is equal.

Relying on the fact that Li Ke suppressed Mai Di, Kemi gained the upper hand.

"A rookie, he's going crazy!"

“19中11得到27分，就是比你15中5强！”

"Do you have 35 points in 13 seconds? Do you have a scoring champion?"

"The rookie scored 47 points in a single game, and 50 points in a single game. Do you have it? Oh, yes, the 47 points in a single game were scored against McGrady. How many points did you score in that game?"

"..."

But the flames of war are burning and spreading everywhere, involving a bunch of struggles between Li Ke and other NBA top players, with Kobe, Lebron, and even Lao Ai...

"50 points in a single game, Keshen tortured and exploded the volute!"

"2709, little Lebron, ridiculous..."

"Iverson? I'm just Pippen."

"..."

Therefore, during this period of time, Li Ke's daily leisure is: high-intensity watching the battle ahead.

As the deity, Li Ke felt quite happy.

Domestic fans were chaotically fighting, and he had a few more deadly enemies in an instant, but said one by one:
He and Kobe were both enemies and friends. After the second game against the Lakers, the chatter was already more of an enemy than a friend.

This made Li Ke reflect on whether he won Kobe a little bit more. The real opponent should have a win or lose;
He and Lebron may be direct rivals in the Eastern Conference, but in private, they are at most unfamiliar.

In terms of life, Lebron has no problems at all. If Li Ke can become a phenomenon-level rookie like Oden and Xiaodu before the draft, he and Lebron may still become brothers;
He and McGrady, according to the address book in the system, McGrady still had a bad feeling for him at the beginning, after two games, the bad feeling not only did not increase, but disappeared.

After the last battle, McGrady was delayed by Duan Ran for a while, and when he turned around to end the interview, he ran into Li Ke who was also pulled over for the interview, and the two hugged each other very friendly.

Speaking of which, some negative comments from McGrady: Bald Fan said he didn't work hard, the media said he didn't have fighting spirit, and fans thought he wasted his talent...

It can be concluded that McGrady's character is somewhat indisputable, and he will never become a sworn enemy with anyone.

Therefore, at the beginning, he had a bad feeling for Li Ke, purely because of Lei's instigation. He couldn't accept that he was almost used to trade for a rookie who was unknown and never changed.

But Li Ke proved his strength in front of him, and the resentment disappeared naturally.

Finally, there is Lao Ai. The relationship between Li Ke and Lao Ai is not progressing very fast. Lao Ai is a typical low-level black man in the United States, and Li Ke obviously has no interests.

But relying on the good cooperation on the court, the progress of the relationship between the two is not too slow.

Not to mention close friends, at least they are good teachers and helpful friends.

Mortal enemy?

Li Ke thinks about it carefully, he is his sworn enemy, only Guagua and Artest, well, DeShawn Stevenson, that little pawn doesn't count.

"The NBA is not only about competition on the court, but also the relationship between people off the court. LeBron will prove this soon..."

In the system address book, I haven't read it for a while, and now it's almost like this——

"Russell Westbrook: Friendly 95."

"Michael Jordan: Friendly 90."

"Kevin Durant: Friendly 88."

"Jimmy Butler: Friendly 83."

"..."

"Damien James: Hostile value 75."

"Artest: The hostile value is 69."

"Yao Ming: friendliness is 55."

"Carmelo Anthony: Hostile value 55."

"Jared Dudley: Friendliness 50."

"Daniel Gibson: Friendliness 35."

"Allen Iverson: Friendliness 30."

"Kobe Bryant: Friendly/hostile value 30."

"DeShawn Stevenson: Hostile value 30."

"Raymond Felton: Friendship 30."

"Shaquille O'Neal: Friendly 25."

"Gerald Wallace: Friendship 20."

"LeBron James: Hostile value 5."

"..."

As can be seen from the above, McGrady's hostility value has disappeared, and the friendliness of Lao Sha, Lao Ai, and Hua Laoer are all rising steadily, but the increase is not fast.

Then there is Kobe, the most special value has risen to 30. Li Ke doesn't know whether it is hostile or friendly, but he feels that it is probably more hostile now.

After a few hiccups, Guagua's hostility value rose to 55. The closest thing to copy was Artest, and Li Ke's punch gave him 69. With two more head-on fights, it should be possible to copy.

It was also Guagua and Artest, which made Li Ke involuntarily think that finding an opponent is much easier than finding friends.

Le Bang also appeared, with a hostile value of 5, not high, but it appeared quite inexplicably. During the All-Star voting dispute, Le Bang did not appear, and Li Kefang's Le Bang 2709 did not appear. Instead, after the All-Star voting, Le Bang came.

What's even more strange is that Damien James' hostility value has actually dropped back. This gave Li Ke a bold idea. If Damien James' hostility value is reset to 80 points, will he get another chance to copy it?

In the end, with several opponents and friends like Damien James, Westbrook's friendship has not changed for a while, and Xiao Du's friendship has dropped a little. It is impossible to say that Xiao Du has no idea in the direct competition between the two.

Boss Joe's has been rising, which is not surprising, after all, the Bobcats' record has also been improving.

Oddly enough, Jiba's friendliness has also gone up a bit.

However, when Li Ke set his sights on the NCAA, he somewhat understood why Jiba's friendliness also increased.

The NCAA regular season and playoffs have all been played, and now it has entered the stage of March Madness, and the seed rankings and divisions have been released.

Even without Xiao Du and Li Ke, the University of Texas Longhorns this season still made a bloody breakthrough in the Big [-], tied for first place with the University of Kansas in the regular season, and reached the finals in the playoffs, narrowly losing to Kansas.

Entering March Madness, the Longhorns have also become the No. [-] seed in the Southern District, second only to the fierce University of Memphis this year.

Compared with last season, this kind of result must be a little bit worse, but considering that the Schett combination left and the recruitment of De University was not considered a success, such a result is already considered very good.

Jiba contributed a lot. Not only did he perfectly replace Li Ke on the defensive end, he also did what Li Ke could not do on the offensive end, attacking with the ball and organizing teammates...

This is thanks to Li Ke. Xia Tian and Jiba practiced intensively for a month, and Jiba benefited a lot.

Jiba is very grateful, even grateful to the point of not holding grudges, which can be seen from the fact that he entered the NBA and made a lot of money, but he did not turn a blind eye to his biological mother who abandoned him.

After tied for first place in the regular season, Jiba sent a text message to Li Ke:

"First in the regular season, I think you have a part to play in this, so thank you, Sheldon!"

Li Ke didn't reply because he didn't know how to reply.

Until TDU lost the playoff final of the Big [-] League, Li Ke sent Jiba a reply: "Come on, Jimmy, March Madness is the real battlefield!"

Speaking of March Madness, with the strength of the current lineup of Deda University, it is impossible to say that there is no chance at all.

Jiba perfectly replaced Li Ke, and Damien James also got the opportunity he deserved after Xiao Du left, and also played a core level of personal performance.

Finally, there is Augustin. This season, Augustin is in charge of the University of Germany. He averaged 17.2 points and 5.8 assists per game. Augustin is considered to be the fourth guard in the 08 class after Rose, Mayo and Eric Gordon.

It is said that Boss Joe is also very optimistic about Augustin. If it is not that he is out of stock, I am afraid that this draft season, his first choice will be a player from the University of Germany.

Speaking of the draft, Li Ke's butterfly effect has already been reflected in the draft. First of all, Jiba, relying on his perfect performance at Dezhou University, his sophomore season, his draft price has skyrocketed, and now he has entered the middle of the first round.

Seeing this, Jiba is going to participate in the 08 draft. After all, Jiba's economic situation is very bad. If he can participate as soon as possible and enter the NBA to make money, he will definitely choose to participate.

What's more, the draft market in the middle of the first round is really not low.

Then there is Westbrook. Li Ke really can't remember. In the previous draft, did Westbrook, who was chosen by the Thunder as an underdog, enter the lottery?
But judging from the draft market before March Madness, Westbrook's draft prediction is only at the beginning of the second round, which is still very far away from the lottery.

"It's not like Jiba participated in the 08 draft, and Awei went to the 09 draft, right?"

It is difficult for Li Ke to rule out this possibility, and this is about his influence on Westbrook——

Because of his success in the NCAA and NBA, Westbrook's ambition has also changed from inheriting Kelsen Bals III's last wish and entering UCLA at the beginning, to succeeding in UCLA, and then entering the NBA with a successful attitude...

This is very subtle. If Westbrook goes to 09, then 09 will be an unimaginable year for point guards.

Westbrook, Curry, Lawson...

"The pick for 09 is still in hand, maybe I can pick a good point guard at that time..."

Li Ke, who has one, two, and three, can't help but plan ahead. After all, Lao Ai's downturn is just around the corner...
