I'm not really a role player

Chapter 214 See you in the finals!

The old shark was injured. After the game was called off, the team doctor who came up later confirmed this.

The Bobcats all became serious at once, and the Time Warner Center was also booed and abused.

"Dirty Detroiters!"

"go to hell!"

"Mother fk Rasheed Wallace, you can't walk out of this arena!"

"..."

Seeing Lao Sha leave the court with the support of the team medical team, Li Ke clenched his fists.

What followed was a bloody battle.

Compared with whose defensive moves are dirtier, Li Ke may not be as good as the descendants of the bad boys of the Pistons, but whoever moves more widely, whose fists are harder, and whoever hits hurts more, it must be Li Ke.

In the second half of the game, the referee's whistle never stopped, which to a certain extent prevented the game from going in a more extreme direction.

But even so, the actions of the two teams have reached a certain level.

Sam Vincent was very anxious, he didn't want to see his team's players and opponents fighting on the court.

Because this means that accidents are likely to happen again, which means that the players on the court have lost their minds.

Sure enough, in the fourth quarter, Richard Hamilton struggled to get the second Hua who was rushing forward.

Hua's second son suddenly rushed to the top of his head with a surge of enthusiasm, stood up and aimed at Hamilton's old face, and directly threw an old punch.

Beep beep!

The whistle sounded quickly, and the referee intervened in time.

The conflict didn't intensify further, but Li Ke covered his face, he knew that it was bad, everything was bad.

Lao Sha was injured, and Hua Er Er's action was basically a death sentence.

What should the Bobcats do in the next finals?
"Let's take one step at a time..."

Sighing is not Li Ke's style, and now he can only rejoice that at least the victory of this game has been won.

That's right, although the Bobcats have lost two generals one after another, they have achieved a double-digit lead early on, and they have already won the victory.

The referee quickly made a penalty, and as expected, a first-level malicious foul, plus the previous technical foul, Hua Er was directly expelled from the field.

If there is no accident, in the first game of the finals, the second Hua will also be suspended for accumulating malicious fouls.

Hua Er and Lao Sha were gone, but the Bobcats still won the game.

But the Bobcats, who won the ball and won the Eastern Conference championship trophy, were not as joyful and happy as expected.

"Eastern champions, but what about the finals?"

Lao Ai patted Li Ke: "Don't worry, Sheldon, there's me too!"

Li Ke rolled his eyes, is this a question of who is not?This is a question of who will climb the three towers of the Lakers without Lao Sha and Hua Er Er!
Holding the trophy and returning to the locker room, the first thing Li Ke and Lao Ai did was to ask about Lao Sha's condition.

"Shaq...he..."

Sam Vincent shook his head, Li Ke and Lao Ai were both at that moment, their brows were deeply furrowed, the situation was not good.

But Sam Vincent, who was expressionless one second, suddenly smiled the next second.

"The result came out. I just sprained my ankle. According to the degree of the sprain, I only need a truce for about seven to ten days."

Li Ke immediately hammered Sam Vincent and smiled, although there was still some melancholy in the smile.

"Good news, seven to ten days... I hope the Spurs will give us some strength and delay, maybe we can catch up with the finals G1..."

……

Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals started the day after the Eastern Conference Finals. In the first four games, Lao Ai and Lao Shark were both "Spurs fans", and now Li Ke is too.

But as the game progressed, Li Ke shook his head.

"The Spurs are already very tenacious, but Kobe has already shot away. In this game, there is a high probability that the Lakers will win."

In the G5 game, Kobe stepped on the gas pedal to advance to the finals.

In addition to still organizing the offense in the first quarter, Kobe started his personal mode from the second quarter, scoring 13 points in the half and 22 points in three quarters.

Finally, in the fourth quarter, the Spurs killed the score.

But they couldn't beat Kobe, who scored 17 points in the final quarter.

In the end, the Lakers won G100 with a score of 92 to 5.

"The king of the Western Conference finals, the Spurs killer, is worthy of the name!"

"I can't wait any longer. According to the usual practice, after the East and West finals are over, we will rest for three or four days and then the finals will begin."

"Shaq will definitely not be able to catch up with the first game of the finals, and Gerrard..."

The second Hua's suspension has been confirmed. For a player with a lot of movement like him, he has already accumulated 3 malicious foul points in the regular season.

This time, he received another level of malice. According to the penalty regulations for malicious fouls, the second Hua will be automatically suspended for one game.

"This Piston really disgusts us. Shaq's injury will at least miss the first game of the finals, and maybe the second game will not be played. Gerrard will miss the first game..."

There is no shortage of disgusting teams like the Pistons in the NBA. It can only be said that the Bobcats are younger, and the second Hua is also younger.

Lao Ai still said the same words: "Believe me, Sheldon, we can still win the first game of the finals!"

Old Shark, who had already returned to the training hall, sneered, but said: "Just take it as a victory for the Lakers. Without this victory, they will definitely be swept away by us."

Sweep or not, no one knew before the game started, but Li Ke followed Lao Ai's thinking and thought about the possibility of G1.

"If the trait of bravery is triggered, I, Jia Laoai, might really have a chance..."

If players are rated in S, A, and B grades, the current Lao Ai is probably S, and Li Ke is probably around A+.

But after turning on the brave trait, Li Ke should be able to get to S+.

Kobe on the opposite side should also be S+, but considering Li Ke's defense, it shouldn't be a big problem to drop Kobe a small grade.

Considering the absence of Lao Sha and Hua Lao Er, S-'s sister-in-law Jia has risen a small level, and should be around S.

"That's S+ plus S, playing double S, there are still opportunities."

"The key point is whether the brave trait can be activated."

After thinking about it for a while, Li Ke caught a glimpse of life in the cracks.

And then, he reacted: "By the way, Sam, has Shaq's injury been announced to the outside world?"

On this question, Sam Vincent understood: "You mean, smoke bombs?"

……

The Bobcats swept the Pistons 4-0, and the Lakers defeated the Spurs 4-1. In the 2008 Finals, the matchup was released——

Bobcats VS Lakers!

"The matchup of the finals has been released. The Lakers broke through from the West. No one will be surprised. From the beginning of the regular season, the Lakers have been in a very good state. They have climbed to the top two in the West. The addition of Pau Gasol has helped the Lakers to further promote to a championship-level team."

"And the Bobcats breaking through from the east is very surprising."

"At the beginning of the season, the Bobcats were even considered to be the worst team in the league, but the outbreak of No. 8 rookie Shelton gave the Bobcats hope."

"The two trades led by Michael Jordan brought Shaq and AI, and the Bobcats became a strong team."

"But the real surprise is that they got rid of the Celtics' Big Three..."

Now that the playoffs have reached the finals, it's time for a dark horse and a big hit in this entire series.

In the discussion of the TNT TV program, the Bobcats were quickly put on the dark horse position, and the Lakers were naturally hot.

The dark horse battle is hot, and it seems to be like this every year in the finals.

The dark horse of the Bobcats is a position that many people can accept, especially in this finals, the Bobcats will start with an absolute disadvantage.

"Shaq is injured. According to the feedback from the Bobcats, he should not be able to play in this finals."

"And Gerald Wallace, suspended for one game for flagrant fouls."

"In the first game of the finals, the Bobcats' quad-cores lost two cores. If you want to win, it's as difficult as climbing to the sky..."

According to the analysis of TNT TV station, whether it is Kenny Smith, Zach Lowe, or Skip Bayless, the Bobcats will lose the victory in the first game of the finals by default.

"After analyzing and analyzing G1, starting from G2, Gerald Wallace will return, and the three cores will fight. Do the Bobcats have a chance?"

McBrin raised this question, and Stephen A. Smith immediately shook his head: "Without Shaq, the Bobcats cannot solve the threat posed by the Lakers' three towers. On the contrary, the Lakers have ways to solve the threats posed by AI, Sheldon and Gerald Wallace."

Zach Lowe, Kenny Smith, and Mark Stein all support American Yang Yi.

The Bobcats will inevitably lose G1 of the finals, then the next G2, G3... They are still not favored, so it is easy to understand.

But since it is a big debate among the bricks, even if the situation of Bobcats is so bad, there must be the support of the bricks.

Skip Bayless is clearly on the side of the Bobcats. His reason is: "First of all, to correct one point, Andrew Bynum has also withdrawn from the finals due to injury. Therefore, the Lakers have no three towers. They only have the twin towers composed of Lamar Odom and Pau Gasol."

Without Anzhu, the Lakers' three towers have become two towers, and the threat is not so great.

This is the reason for Skip Bayless, but almost everyone knows that the real reason for Skip Bayless is that Mei Yangyang supported the Lakers.

As a beauty, he must stand on the opposite side, although perhaps, he may not be optimistic about Bobcats.

Charles Barkley is different, he is very optimistic about the Bobcats, optimistic from the bottom of his heart.

"I think you all ignore Sheldon's defense. Look at LeBron James, Paul Pierce and Chauncey Billups. Can Kobe Bryant continue his outstanding performance in the West? If not, will the Lakers, who are extremely dependent on him, really have an advantage?"

Barkley's rhetorical question triggered a new round of discussion, that is, whether Li Ke's single defense can lock Kobe.

"Paul Pierce, Chauncey Billups and Kobe are not at the same level. As for LeBron, Sheldon caught his shooting weakness. Kobe obviously didn't have this problem. Shelton couldn't lock him up."

"Paul Pierce and Kobe are not at the same level? I can't agree with you. Maybe there is a gap between the two, but the gap is definitely not as big as imagined."

"..."

Discussions in the media are all over the sky. As the party involved, the Bobcats are huddled in Charlotte's training hall and training with some noise.

Noisy means——

When the generals of the Bobcats saw Mei Yang's assertion that without Lao Sha, the Bobcats could not solve the Lakers' three towers, there was a burst of laughter in the Bobcats' training hall.

No old shark?Bobcats can not solve the Lakers' three towers?
Let alone whether the Lakers still have three towers, as far as the premise that there is no old shark, this argument itself is wrong.

And, the Lakers in Los Angeles, facing the siege of the media, the Lakers inevitably missed the pinnacle.

When Zen master was asked about Shaq's early farewell to the finals, he replied: "It's a pity that I can't meet Shaq again as an opponent in the finals, but I have to say that this is good news for us."

And Kobe: "Shaq? No, I don't care about him. I only care about the next finals, the duel between me and Shelton, and AI."

Based on the content of these interviews, Shanmao can confirm a fact:
"Our smoke bombs are working!"

Sam Vincent shook his head: "The effect is also limited. It is impossible for the Lakers not to prepare tactics against Shaq."

"So what if I'm ready? I have an idea..."

"Tell me?"

"..."

Li Ke said something, Sam Vincent's eyes lit up, and he gave affirmation: "According to your method, you can really catch the Lakers by surprise!"

……

On June 6, the Bobcats, who had been bored in Charlotte's training hall for almost four days, came out of the cage.

They boarded a plane to Los Angeles, and after a few hours of flying, they arrived in Los Angeles.

Then, just like the Lakers, they were besieged by the media.

Before the finals started, Kobe on the opposite side had already released a lot of words in the media. Therefore, Sam Vincent did not prohibit the team from being interviewed before the game.

In the airport terminal, facing rows of microphones and recording pens, Li Ke fired.

"Yes, Shaq will miss this Finals, but he will be with us, fighting to the last moment, and you saw it, he was wearing a suit."

"The outcome of the first match? I want to say that the match hasn't started yet, so the outcome is not predetermined."

"Yes, I mean, me and Allen are enough to beat this Lakers."

"Defend against Kobe Bryant? I will guard him to death. He is not my opponent."

"Of course, he can say harsh words before the game, but I can be sure and affirm that he is not my opponent."

Finally, Li Ke shouted from the air: "Kobe, think about those one-on-one duels, you are definitely not my opponent!"

……

In Los Angeles, in an apartment in the downtown area, Kobe saw Li Ke's yelling from the air, and the corner of his mouth raised an arc, and he didn't seem angry because of Li Ke's yelling.

But he picked up his phone and was editing something.

A few minutes later, in the hotel next to Staples, Li Ke received a text message from Kobe.

"Which hotel are you in? I'll pick you up."

When he saw this text message, Li Ke knew that it was safe, everything was safe!

"No, Kobe, I know what you want to do, but unfortunately, Sam Vincent banned us from going out before the game."

After rejecting Kobe's simple and direct invitation, Li Ke waited for a few more minutes, then the sound of a ding ding text message came, and Kobe's reply came.

"Okay, see you in the finals then!"
