I'm not really a role player

Chapter 221 The Wrathful Waddell
"Li Ke, we meet again!"

In Boss Qiao's apartment, Li Ke met Director Zhang, Yu Jia, and the Central Five film crew behind them.

Director Zhang stretched out his right hand towards Li Ke. The word "you" in "Meet you again" explains everything. This is the second time Li Ke has accepted an exclusive interview with Yang Wu.

The timing of the two interviews was very coincidental.

"Do you still remember the last interview, you and your University of Texas Longhorn team are about to set foot on the NCAA finals... Now in a blink of an eye, you are going to be on the NBA podium again."

Director Zhang recalled the past, sighed with emotion, and hit the point.

It's a coincidence, but it's not. If Li Ke hadn't made it to the finals, this interview probably wouldn't have happened.

Just like Dayao, who was out of the game early and returned to China early. Together with the men's basketball team, he will train and prepare for the Capital Olympics in two months.

"The NCAA has won the championship and MOP after one year of playing. The NBA has played for one year, and the championship is almost here. The chance of FMVP is also great?"

“首战33分7个篮板9个助攻2个抢断2个盖帽，次战又是一个30分6个篮板7个助攻2个抢断1个盖帽，这表现不拿FMVP，说不过去。”

Director Zhang discussed with Yu Jia for a few sentences, and then threw the question to Li Ke.

"Li Ke, what do you think?"

Li Ke, of course he felt deep down in his heart: This FMVP must belong to him.

Lao Sha and Hua Laoer missed a game, and they have long lost their qualifications to compete.

Lao Ai played two games, and his statistics were not bad, but he was far behind Li Ke.

It is too difficult to chase after the last two games.

But you can't say that out of your mouth. Even if it's just chatting now, Li Ke has to be modest and humble: "I haven't thought about this yet."

"Then where do you think you can hold the cup?"

The question of where to hold the cup is very cryptic.

To win the cup in Charlotte means to sweep the Lakers. If you win the cup in Los Angeles, it means that the Lakers have a chance to win a game or two.

In this regard, Li Ke will not be modest: "Let's win the cup at home. I still hope that there will be cheers from the home fans when I win the cup."

"So, you think you can sweep the Lakers?"

In the end, Yu Jia couldn't bear it anymore and asked the question he wanted to ask directly.

Li Ke nodded in confirmation.

Director Zhang smiled: "If you keep asking this question, the interview will just go through the process."

He was right, when the machine is set up and the interview begins, the process is really going on.

In addition to the above questions, Director Zhang and Yu Jia asked more about the upcoming Olympics.

"It's a bit early to talk about the Olympics now. I don't know what the men's basketball team is like now. Last year's training camp, I only followed the team for half a month, and the training went very smoothly. But after all, it has been a year, and others don't know. For me alone, the changes have been too great."

Li Ke talked about how much he had changed, and couldn't help smiling.

During the men's basketball training camp last year, he didn't have Jiba's S-level single defense, and he didn't have Boss Joe's back play, and his agility and explosiveness didn't improve.

On the whole, his progress is still quite large.

Although Li Ke answered in this way, Director Zhang and Yu Jia still insisted on the topic of the Olympics, asking some unnutritive topics back and forth, until——

bang bang bang...

When there was a knock on the door, Li Ke got up naturally and opened the door, and welcomed Boss Qiao in without any surprise.

"Is it the right time for me to come? Or, I will come back later?"

Boss Qiao was a little surprised when he saw a room full of video cameras and radio microphones in the apartment, but he reacted immediately and made a joke.

But Director Zhang and Yu Jia must have been more surprised than Boss Qiao.

They stared: Hey, isn't this the god of basketball? !
Then, the interview went a bit off track.

That is, when Boss Qiao suddenly appeared, Director Zhang and Yu Jia realized——

Li Ke actually rented Boss Qiao's apartment, not on purpose, but just a coincidence.

And in this apartment, there is also a basketball court.

In the basketball hall, there is also a trainer named Tim Graver.

Director Zhang and Yu Jia immediately realized that Li Ke's career in the NBA was too much to talk about.

In the post-Jordan era, the NBA has found countless Jordan successors, including Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Kobe, Carter, and now LeBron.

Countless ones were found, and countless ones were discarded.

Grant Hill and Penny were crippled due to injuries, and Kobe, who was an Eagle County, was directly given up. As for Carter, the popularity at the peak was enough, and the strength was a little bit weaker.

In the end, David Stern placed high hopes on Lebron, who was just on the road.

But now, Director Zhang and Yu Jia really want to say: "David Stern is nothing, Jordan's successor, of course Jordan has the final say!"

Li Ke, appointed by Jordan, lives in Jordan's apartment and uses Jordan's training hall;

Jordan's trainer gave him special training, and Jordan's agent represented his agent affairs;
Li Ke also led Jordan's team. He broke into the finals in his first year as a rookie. The championship is about to be won, and the FMVP has a high probability of being Li Ke's.

"This stepping horse is the real Jordan successor!"

About half an hour later, Director Zhang and Yu Jia left the apartment. After taking a deep breath, they looked at each other, and they both saw excitement in each other's eyes.

"This interview is done!"

Originally, at the moment of the finals, Central Five's exclusive interview with Li Ke must be quite popular on the other side of the ocean.

Now, with Jordan's hand-picked buffs and other buffs, this interview, if it is put on Laomei, it is estimated that it will also be a hit.

……

On June 6th, the whole of Charlotte seemed to have entered the festival, with lights and festoons everywhere.

The Lakers set off from the hotel, and the bus moved slowly.

Although there was a bit of a traffic jam on the road to the Time Warner Center, everything was normal, and the Charlotte people were not cheating, let alone cheating.

But the cheers of singing and dancing outside the car window made the Lakers players feel a little sour.

"Listen to the cheers, is the finals over?"

"The rednecks in Charlotte are rejoicing too soon!"

Odom couldn't hold it back, spread his hands, and kept spitting out acid words.

Kobe stared out of the window quietly, his eyes had long been bloodthirsty.

And Mrs. Jia, saying something: "When we take down G3, let them be quiet!"

Old Yu, on the other hand, found the unusual place very calmly.

"It stands to reason that this bus should be very soundproof."

With doubts, Lao Yu saw Zen master on the window seat in the front row. The only window that could be opened in the bus was right next to Zen master, and it was impressively open.

"So, this is what Phil planned."

The bus drove to the outside of the Time Warner Center, and the square of the arena was crowded with people.

In this game, in addition to more than 7000 fans who will enter the stadium to watch the game, a large screen is also set up in the square. Charlotte TV made a rough count:
"This block of Time Warner Center has gathered more than 8 Charlotte fans. Some of them will enter the stadium and watch the game live, and the rest will gather in the square outside the arena..."

The acid water of the Lakers has filled the entire bus. After they came out of the underground parking lot of the Time Warner Center and entered the locker room, the Zen master started to fan the flames.

"From the hotel to the arena, along the way, I was very angry. The Charlotte people were so excited. They acted like they had won the championship, but in fact, the finals were far from over."

"Maybe, people will say, the Lakers are 0-2 behind, they are finished."

"However, in 06, the Miami Heat led by Pat Riley completed a reversal after falling behind 0-2."

"I think we can do that too!"

"..."

Zen Master's chicken soup is not strong enough. If Rivers is allowed to come, at this time, the locker room is already excited.

The Lakers were not so excited, but Kobe's icy eyes proved that Zen Master's not-so-delicious chicken soup still had some usefulness.

……

On the other side, the home team Bobcats, with a total score of 2 to 0, they are very easy.

In the locker room, Sam Vincent didn't say much, but after announcing the starting lineup, he said by the way: "Today's game, Shaq is back, and the all-main Bobcats are back!
Go on stage and tell everyone that the all-main Bobcats have stopped pretending, and the showdown is over, we are the championship! "

This chicken soup is powerful.

The bobcat generals came out screaming.

At the Time Warner Center, cheers erupted early.

"Charlotte is making their NBA Finals debut, look at the crazy Charlotte fans, they're so excited."

McBrin, Kenny Smith and Barkley sat in the commentary booth again, and after expressing how lively Charlotte was, the camera scanned the front row seats on the sidelines.

"This game is too lively. Look at the group of people sitting on the sidelines. From left to right, Magic Johnson, Denzel Washington, Chris Paul, and Dell Curry..."

Magic showed up for the Lakers, as did Denzel Washington.

Brother Pao is a native of North Carolina, so it's not surprising that he appears here, but no one knows the purpose of his presence here.

In the end, it was Kenny Smith who mentioned Dell Curry, and he took his two sons.

Li Ke, who came out to warm up, was quickly stopped, turned his head, and saw Brother Pao.

"Hey Chris!"

Li Ke stretched out his right hand and slapped Brother Pao who stopped him.

"It's the offseason, haven't you gone fishing?"

The word fishing is not so derogatory for the time being.

Brother Pao smiled: "The vacation time has passed, and the next is the Olympics, don't you know?"

Olympics?Brother Pao, is this the next day?

Li Ke smiled stiffly: "Of course, of course I know, I'm just wondering, why did you come to my finals?"

Li Ke emphasized the word "my".

Brother Pao was very disdainful: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not here to support the Bobcats, I'm here to support North Carolina!"

Hearing this, Li Ke smiled: "North Carolina? Is there any difference between it and the Lynx?"

Brother Pao's face darkened, and he sat back.

At this moment, Dell Curry stepped in: "Sheldon, it's the first time we met, you should know me?"

"Of course, Dale, you are a famous character in Charlotte!"

What Li Ke said in his mouth was: I know you, not because you are famous in Charlotte, but because you are your son!

Li Ke's compliment made Dell Curry smile, but behind him, Stephen Curry stretched out his hand very coldly without saying a word.

It was Li Ke himself who said, "We meet again, Stephen."

Curry, however, remained silent.

Dell Curry was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, behind Curry, Seth Curry eagerly extended his hand: "Sheldon, come on, win this championship for Charlotte!"

"I will, Seth!"

Walking from the sidelines to the center of the court, Li Ke's mind has drifted away.

"This Stephen Curry, how did this resentment come from?"

He immediately thought of the game between the Longhorns and Davidson College. It seemed, it seemed, that he was indeed over [-] points in that game?
