I'm not really a role player

Chapter 196 Death's Harvest

"In the opening game, there were two lightning strikes, and Sheldon fought back forcefully against the extremely noisy North Shore Garden today!"

Li Ke was very tough, but the race knights in the North Shore Garden Arena had no intention of restraining themselves. There were boos and abuse everywhere.

After the Celtics' offense fell behind 0 to 4, they were still not in a hurry.

On the left side of the top of the arc, Li Ke continued to stare at Pierce.

In the middle, Rondo controlled the ball. Facing Lao Ai who let him take a step, he made a non-threatening breakthrough.

Until Ray Allen came out from the wing, relying on a cover from Perkins' high position, he threw away Hua's second child, and scored a three-pointer directly after catching the ball... Whoa!

Gentleman Lei withstood the pressure, but Li Ke was not surprised.

The Celtics are very strong. With a healthy KG, the Celtics are definitely a strong team in NBA history. The offense has the Big Three, and the defense also has an era-leading chain defense with Perkins and KG as the core.

Some people even think that if KG did not suffer a serious injury that almost destroyed his career in 09, Kobe would not have won his last two championships at all.

The biggest difference from the regular season is that the C-level anger trait only provides Li Ke with the improvement of four skills and talents, and facing a Celtics whose strength has been infinitely improved in the playoffs, Li Ke cannot copy the regular season and beat the Celtics by himself.

All he can do is to lock up Pierce defensively and break through the Celtics' steel defense on the offensive end.

Coupled with Lao Ai and Lao Sha, it also created an illusion for the Bobcats that they also have the Big Three.

In this game, the Bobcats will have the hope of an upset.

Turning back to the offensive end, the Bobcats still held the ball with Lao Ai and controlled the frontcourt, but Li Ke unexpectedly started galloping for half the court.

This is a bit different from his usual style of play. Although he has always been known for being good at air cuts, in most games, Li Ke's air cuts are mainly about quality and not many.

But this time, Li Ke ran away.

Jun Zilei was guarding him. Seeing Li Ke circle around to the left and right, Jun Zilei realized that he was gradually unable to keep up.

On the strong side, Rondo mainly defends Lao Ai, and KG and Perkins are also relatively close to each other. This is the characteristic of chain defense. The strong side is stacked, and the weak side is infinitely empty.

When Li Ke went around to the weak side, Lao Ai, who had already been killed by the strong side attack, but was always aiming at Li Ke, passed the ball...

"AI made a breakthrough with the ball, Lagalondo's defense was very successful, AI was forced to pass...it was Sheldon, he received the ball, Ray Allen was a big step behind, it was too late!"

A-level three-pointer, unmarked wide open, Li Ke jumped up...

Swish-!
The crisp sound of scraping the net made the originally noisy North Shore Garden Arena pause for a moment. The race knights were ready to boo them, but they were surprised to find that Li Ke did not celebrate immediately after the goal.

On the court, seeing the basketball getting into the net frame with a white net flower, Li Ke retreated silently, until he stood in the middle circle, he stopped.

"What is he going to do?"

A big question mark popped up in everyone's head, including the race knights in the North Shore Garden, the commentators behind the technical stage, and the fans in front of the TV...

They watched as Li Ke bent down, stretched out his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and curled up the other three fingers, facing the little man on the Celtic team logo.

"Bia!"

"Fuck, he actually shot the Celtics team logo!"

"This action seems to be open to discussion?"

Kenny Smith frowned. Li Ke's celebration was indeed too much. He was almost brazenly provoking all his opponents.

The atmosphere on the court was suddenly tense, and amidst the boos that were extremely crazy, Pierce walked over immediately and glared at Li Ke: "Sheldon, you are going too far."

But Li Ke laughed, he was laughed out of anger: "Excessive? Could it be that there are fans in North Shore Garden that are excessive?"

"I know that the racism at North Shore Garden pissed you off, but you could have opted out of this game instead of targeting the Celtics here, the team is innocent..."

"Retire? Look at the score, Paul, the Charlotte Bobcats are leading now, and your so-called innocent Celtics are being stepped on by me!"

Li Ke spread his hands: "If in the face of racial discrimination, everyone's choice is to retire, this group of white trash will think they have succeeded, and the only way to get rid of this kind of thinking is to kill the team they support in front of them."

"You're not going to make it, Sheldon..."

The referee came over and interrupted the two who seemed to be communicating peacefully.

Li Ke shrugged and retreated to the backcourt. Looking at Pierce with a serious face in the distance, he wanted to laugh even more.

He knows who "Truth" Pierce is. The so-called soul of the Green Army will be purged by the cold-blooded Danny Ainge in a few seasons.

Look at Pierce, who is now trying his best to defend the Celtics. Isn't this ridiculous?
Pierce was obviously irritated by Li Ke's celebration and Li Ke's subsequent arrogant speech. After the ball passed halftime, he asked for the ball with a cold face.

"Give me the ball, Raja!"

Although the strategy formulated by Doc Rivers and Tom Thibodeau is based on Ray Allen, but Pierce wants to try Li Ke's defense. As a younger brother, Rondo certainly cannot refuse.

Seeing that Pierce got the ball and put on a singles stance, the Celtics fans who were also irritated by Li Ke's celebration on the sidelines climaxed and started crazy personal attacks.

"PP got the ball, that's great, kill that Chinese guy in front of you!"

"Chinaman, Truth will fuck your little G8 with his big ass!"

"..."

Taking the ball with his back in the high position, Pierce did point his butt at Li Ke, and he didn't push directly.

After several fights, Pierce knew very well that his strength was no match for Li Ke in front of him, so it was impossible to push back.

His only choice is to sway left and right, turn around suddenly, and make a false throw.

Li Ke was indeed shaken for a while, but his speed was extremely fast, and he caught up with Pierce almost in the blink of an eye.

"Sheldon strictly guards against death, and doesn't give a chance. Pierce can only stop and shoot!"

It was impossible for Pierce to pass this ball, so he had already dropped the pass button. After breaking through to the extreme, he could only resist the defense and make a strong shot.

Bang-dang-!
The shot that leaned back undoubtedly hit the iron.

But at the basket, the Celtics have a father.

Perkins caught the old shark, Garnett jumped up, grabbed the rebound, and made a dunk!
"Nice job, KG!"

Garnett, who made up the deduction, saved the Celtics. With a score of 5 to 7, the game did not collapse at the beginning.

With the Bobcats' offense, Li Ke's momentum of scoring 7 points in a row failed to continue.

Because of this ball, Li Ke built a wall for Lao Ai, and all the opponents rushed to surround him.

Lao Ai didn't pass the ball at all, he did one by himself, made a mid-range shot, and with a bang, he also scored!

Pierce still had a serious expression on the Celtics' offense, but he could afford to let it go. Facing tremendous pressure, he chose to pin Li Ke's defense to the bottom corner.

In the middle, Rondo still controlled the ball, and the gentleman went out.

But for this ball, Jun Zilei missed the ball a little bit.

bang...

"Rebounds! Shaq's!"

Old Shark protected the backboard and swept left and right. Before he could react, a pair of big yellow hands popped out.

Old Shark was startled, and grabbed the basketball subconsciously, but the pair of big yellow hands slapped his hands away without any scruples, and snatched his basketball away.

The referee's whistle didn't sound, and Old Shark looked up, only to realize——

"Sheldon, he took the basketball straight from Shaq!"

Li Ke, who had completed stealing his teammates, galloped away. The Celtics obviously did not have a plan for dealing with SS-level speed. Jun Zilei reacted quickly. He followed, but was thrown away by Li Ke in an instant.

The most surprising thing must be everyone in the commentary booth. Kenny Smith stared: "Sheldon who got the ball directly threw away Ray Allen. His speed is too fast, Pierce, Lagalondo...he directly passed everyone in the Celtics!"

Riding Juechen, no one can stop and no one stands in front of Li Ke. Faced with a very large counterattack advantage, Li Ke started to play tricks.

Stepping on the circle inside the free throw line, Li Ke stepped on the ground with his right foot and jumped up. The whole person was in the air, his legs were bent, and he switched the ball from his right hand to his left...

"Crotch change hands!"

"Ohhhhhh!"

Both Kenny Smith and Barkley have realized that this dunk can enter the slam dunk contest, and they became excited and excited.

But this is not over yet, in the air, Li Ke turned around...

Boom!
"God! Change hands between the crotch, plus a back buckle for a 360° turn!"

"Sheldon dunked a slam dunk contest in actual combat, enough to get a 50-point dunk!"

Even the booing couldn't stop Li Ke from pulling the frame and making a loud noise.

Then it landed, but Li Ke rushed out.

"What else does he want to do?"

Everyone had question marks on their faces, but Kenny Smith and Buckley saw Li Ke rushing straight towards them.

With a bang, Li Ke jumped onto the technical stage exactly as before the match.

This time it was two index fingers, which were in front of the mouth.

……

In New York, David Stern has been watching the live broadcast of the Bobcats vs. Celtics for several minutes.

Alliance Vice Presidents Stu Jackson and Adam Silver were also present. Unlike Stern, who was watching the show, and the quiet Stu Jackson, seeing Li Ke repeatedly provoking the race knights, Xiao Hua frowned and said:

"Sheldon Lee is too capable of causing trouble, he is intensifying the conflict."

No one paid attention to Xiao Hua, but Xiao Hua seemed to have opened up the conversation box: "David, I think we should stop this game."

"Stop?"

David Stern still didn't say a word, but Stu Jackson asked back.

"That's right, Stu, stop this game. This game is broadcast globally. TNT, Yangwu on the other side of the ocean, and several major TV stations in Europe. This game has seriously damaged the image of the league..."

Hearing this, David Stern shook his head and interrupted Silver: "It's too late, Adam, it doesn't matter whether we stop or not. The important thing is that we have to deal with the Celtics and their fans."

"And Sheldon Lee..."

Xiao Hua Cue mouthed Li Ke, David Stern could only turn his head, with a question mark: "Sheldon Lee?"

"He's been provoking the Boston fans at the Garden, he's fueling the conflict, and he's at fault if things escalate."

"..."

David Stern frowned, shook his head, did not answer Xiao Hua's words, but turned to Stu Jackson: "Stu, let someone prepare a ticket."

Stu Jackson nodded and stood up.

"Punish the Celtics for this series plus the next series. The home court is empty, and the Celtics are ordered to call up the video of this game, and the fans who show racial discrimination in this game will be banned from the game. By the way, the fans who participated in the banner, 30 teams in the NBA, will be banned for life!"

"Also, a $50 fine against the Celtics."

David Stern stopped, Xiao Hua froze, gone?
He watched Stu Jackson turn and leave, Xiao Hua, who was not stupid, knew that this time, he was on the wrong side again.

……

Back at the North Shore Garden, Li Ke's counterattack dunk made the score 11 to 5, and the Bobcats in the away game led by 6 points.

In the Celtics' offense, Rondo controlled the ball for half court, and Jun Zilei waited directly on the right side of the top of the arc and took the ball.

In a singles game, the second Hua tried his best to defend.

Compared with the Celtic generals who can't empathize, the Bobcats' core players understand Li Ke at this moment. Lao Ai passes the ball to Li Ke, and Lao Sha provides Li Ke with a pick-and-roll cover.

Although, even if there was no such thing as Li Ke, the second Hua would not stay strong.

But that kind of lack of effort is still somewhat different from the current kind of going all out.

Jun Zilei made a breakthrough, and Perkins' cover was about to be unstoppable, Hua and his two pulled Jun Zilei down.

With a beep, the referee whistled.

Fouled, Jun Zilei stepped to the free throw line and made two free throws.

7 to 11, offensive and defensive conversion.

In Bobcat's round, Lao Ai hit one by himself, and hit the iron with a bang in the middle distance.

Perkins grabbed the rebound and switched offense and defense again.

This time it was Rondo, who returned one from the middle distance, but hit the frame without any accident.

The Bobcats grabbed the rebound and the counterattack came again...

"Counterattack, or Sheldon!"

On the sidelines, Doc Rivers and Tom Thibodeau couldn't sit still.

They watched as Li Ke once again crossed thousands of mountains and rivers, rushed to the front, jumped up from the backcourt, and hung on the basket again.

"13 to 7, Sheldon completely exploded, and he scored 11 points before halfway through the first quarter!"

"The Celtics couldn't stop the angry Sheldon at all. It was like a mirror copy of the regular season. As soon as the game started, Reaper started his harvest!"

With a beep, the referee blew his whistle and the Celtics called a timeout.

The expressions of Rivers and Thibodou are serious. They don't need to be reminded. They also know that Li Ke, who scored 11 points in a row, is already a bit unstoppable. Except for a three-pointer, the remaining 8 points are fast-break counterattacks.

This means that what went wrong in this game was their counterattack.

But seriously, they were really guarding against Bobcat's counterattack, but what they didn't expect was that Li Ke's speed was so fast that it was terrifying.

"I have to target Sheldon..."
