I'm not really a role player

Chapter 244 Another Year of Halloween War
After the game ended in the Quicken Loans Center stadium, the fans evacuated quickly.

The same goes for David Stern, who was boring to watch this game.

The Cavaliers lost the game without fighting back, which he didn't want to see.

After a game, both Li Ke and Lebron were only focused on defense. Li Ke was fine, with 11 points on 5 of 15 shots, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals. The efficiency was very high.

LeBon was in dismal condition. Even with the statistics gained during the fourth quarter, he only made 24 of 7 shots. With as many as 17 free throws and 14 free throws, he scored 30 points, plus 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 1 steal and 2 blocks.

Almighty is still Almighty, but with a hit rate of less than [-]%, this is another humiliating battle for Lebron.

If it hadn't been lifted by the home whistle, if it hadn't been for the quasi-garbage time in the fourth quarter that gave Lebron a justifiable chance to fight and fight, Lebron would have been even more humiliated in this game.

It is said that the opening game is a test of whether the off-season has improved, and the matchup between Li Ke and Lebron makes the result of this test obvious.

"Sheldon has improved again. Although he only scored 15 points in this game, I saw a sharper breakthrough from his singles. Of course, the object of comparison is not the Sheldon in the explosive state, but the Sheldon in the normal state."

Kenny Smith pointed out Li Ke's progress. What Li Ke wanted to say was: Isn't this riding a horse nonsense?Isn't the upgrade from a D-level breakthrough to a B-level an epic level upgrade?
As for the promotion of C-level back hitting to S-level, Kenny Smith didn't mention much.

Perhaps it was because Li Ke, who was in the open state, impressed them too deeply with his extremely sharp back punch.

Barkley then pulled LeBron onto the field after the game.

"Look at LeBron again. It is said that this summer, he has been training under Hakeem..."

"Dream Training Camp? It's a legendary place. It is said that even Kobe has benefited a lot from it."

"Of course, Hakeem told me that this summer, he also received LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and other star players of the 03 platinum generation."

"Whether Melo, Dwyane and Bosh have improved, I don't know, but what I know is that LeBron must have made no progress."

"That's right, his low post and back shots are still so...emmm...bad."

Barkley wanted to use the word "stinky" to describe LeBon's back, but after thinking about it, he still had to give LeBon some respect.

"But maybe the problem is not with LeBron, maybe it's because Hakeem's low post and post play are not suitable for him?"

"maybe……"

Barkley thought about it, but Kenny Smith found his direction: "Charles, I think you can contact LeBron and let him follow you to learn low post and post play."

"Hakeem is a master of low post and post-up, and you are the same. Even your post-up is more suitable for LeBron."

"Losing Shelton as a back-up successor and getting LeBron as an even better successor is definitely your money, Charles."

What else can Barkley say?He could only roll his eyes, and then told Kenny Smith: "I have no interest in finding a successor to Barkley."

If it wasn't live broadcast across the United States, he would definitely add a set of "Mother Fk" before "right".

The commentary after the game praised Li Ke and belittled Lebang, and they were telling the truth.

Responding to the court after the game, Lebron left the field early with a dark face.

This made Li Ke think about before the game, maybe because he was holding his breath, Lebron wanted to win this game, so there was not much communication between him and Li Ke.

But another disastrous defeat made Le Bang unintentionally chat with Li Ke after the game.

Exiting early, Lebon, who was moving fast in the player tunnel, didn't want to say anything about "teammates CBA". He just wanted to find Danny Ferry and talk about signings for this season.

"Morris (Williams) is good, but one him is not enough, we need more pitchers..."

The teammate who satisfied Lebron the most was Li Ke who was opposite him.

Lebron once recruited Li Ke face to face. His recruitment was not empty talk. He had indeed communicated with Danny Ferry about Li Ke.

Danny Ferry has also tried, but at Bobcats, boss Joe told Danny Ferry without any hesitation: Li Ke is not for sale!

The trade failed to take place. This summer, the only two gains for the Cavaliers are Xiao Mo, who performed well in this game, and Ah Lian, who came off the bench.

Speaking of Ah Lian, Ah Lian, who came off the bench, performed very well. Lebon's breakthrough gave him three open opportunities, plus four strong shots against the defense.

In 7 shots, UAE hit 4 of them, scored 12 points, and had 4 rebounds and 1 block.

Scoring double-doubles, the efficiency is very high, but the rebounding is not high.

Li Ke believes that this is a good start.

The UAE has developed in the direction of a space-based fourth position, at least it has found a living space in the NBA.

"Not bad, Brother Lian, 7 out of 4, very efficient!"

After the game, Li Ke didn't meet Lebang, but stayed on the sidelines for a while, waiting for Ah Lian to come over, and patted Ah Lian on the back.

Ah Lian smiled: "It's okay, it's mainly James' pass, which is different from Reid and Xiao Mo's."

"It's very penetrating, isn't it?"

Li Ke heard the implication of Ah Lian's words. Indeed, for Ah Lian, after joining the Cavaliers, his biggest change was that he played basketball more easily.

During the Bucks period, his teammates had no pass key.

The head star Reid can't even hold the ball, let alone organize an offense.

The master control Xiao Mo, a nickname that has never been passed down, says it all.

This season, joining the Cavaliers who play the simplest breakthrough and scoring, the UAE only needs to move a little bit, stay on the outside and wait for the pass to finish.

For a player like Ah Lian, the simpler the game, the easier it is for him to play, and the complicated style of play will make it difficult for him to play.

Lebon is also a player who is extremely reasonable. He will pass the ball that should be passed without falling, and even pass the ball that should not be passed.

"It seems that Bill Duffy made the right choice for you."

Ah Lian nodded, approving of Li Ke.

We chatted a little more, and by the way, we talked about the other two openers.

The game between the Rockets and the Lakers was of great concern to Li Ke and Ah Lian.

"I got some information from Old Shen. He said that the Rockets played much slower than last year, not like Adelman's style."

"Inevitably, Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton replaced Tracy McGrady, and with Yao's big mountain, it is difficult for the Rockets to play fast."

"The game is not over yet, and the score is still tight. This season, the Rockets have a lot to do."

The Lakers are undoubtedly the favorites for the championship, and the Rockets are temporarily tied with the Lakers, which means that the Rockets can also be regarded as a member of the championship favorites.

Of course, Li Ke only got a few words from Shen Li's mouth. How the Rockets are this season, they have to go back and watch the replay of the opening game.

……

Although it is the winning side, the Bobcats have to sum up themselves, because it is not the Bobcats who won this game.

"Allen's state is too bad. This game is just to meet a knight with a weak flank. Change the opponent..."

Back at the hotel, the coaching staff exchanged questions about the game, Xiao Gouba shook his head, he knew where the victory of the game came from.

The Bobcats' victory relies on a very reluctant offense and a solid defense as a backing.

But if another opponent...

"Sheldon was stared to death by LeBron. If he had changed the defender, he wouldn't have been stared to death like this, so don't pretend anymore."

Sam Vincent didn't take Lao Ai's poor state to heart. In his opinion, the Bobcats have alternatives.

"Let's think about the lack of inside firepower without Shaq. It's not good to walk with a limp."

"..."

When the coaching staff was discussing the team's problems, it was also in the hotel, and Lao Ai had been staring at his technical statistics for a long, long time.

He made 18 of 5 shots, scored only 14 points, and had 3 rebounds and 4 assists, all of which are telling of Lao Ai's poor state.

Even, no one can rule out that the so-called poor state is likely to be due to a decline in personal strength.

Compared with the step-by-step pre-season training and pre-season games, at this moment, Lao Ai finally felt the urgency.

Perhaps, a championship allowed Lao Ai to get what he wanted, and felt that his career had no regrets, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But Lao Ai does not think that his career is over from the moment he wins the championship. He is only 33 years old. It stands to reason that he still has at least two or three seasons to play.

After staring at the technical statistics for almost half an hour, Lao Ai got up, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a team member.

Then, put on your clothes and go out...

In the away game, Li Ke, who fought with Lebang for a whole game, was already exhausted. There may be extra training, but he will definitely not do extra training on the night after the game, because it is not necessary.

After a peaceful night's sleep, Li Ke appeared in the hotel restaurant early the next morning and saw the news report on the opening day of the season.

"The defense wins, the Bobcats beat the Cavaliers, and the season is off to a good start."

This is the headlines of the game between the Bobcats and Cavaliers, followed by a series of reports related to the game.

"Broken home loss, LeBron James questioned: He had a useless summer."

"18 of 5 shots were in a bad state, and AI practiced late into the night after the game."

Li Ke was not surprised by Le Bang's report.

It was the old Ai Jialian's report that made Li Ke touch his chin.

"Is Lao Ai going to wake up?"

Li Ke shook his head. He didn't even know whether Lao Ai's current problem was due to his poor state or his decline in strength.

In addition to the opening game between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers, among the other two opening games, Li Ke paid the most attention to the Rockets' away game against the Lakers.

The result of the game was that the Lakers at home won. It was a thrilling win. At the end of the game, the score difference was only 5 points.

As Shen Liren said, the Rockets played much slower than last season, almost every ball was grinding half court.

Relying on the pick-and-roll cooperation of Billups, Richard Hamilton and Dayao again and again, the Lakers' defense was torn apart.

The effect is not bad, but on the key ball, the Rockets are at a disadvantage.

No way, Kobe was too hard at the critical moment.

In contrast, although Billups, who is sometimes godly and sometimes ghostly, also wanted to take over the game, this game was ghostly, which became the so-called underdog.

The more critical problem is that Dayao pulls his hips every day at the end of the quarter.

"The Rockets should allocate Yao's playing time reasonably. A 300-pound, 2-meter big man really can't support a 26-minute continuous appearance..."

Some media reporters have noticed the difference between Rick Adelman and Jeff Van Gundy.

Compared with Jeff Van Gundy controlling Dayao's playing time, Adelman is a bit ruthless about the main force.

But obviously, at this time, Dayao couldn't support such a high-intensity fuck.

The Rockets' change is imperative.

As far as the Lakers are concerned, the victory in the opening game established their identity and status as the favourites.

Kobe, who scored 11 points in the final quarter and 33 points in the game, continued to maintain his killer qualities.

……

There is nothing to say about the other opener, although it is also a traditional duel, the Japanese Assassin War.

But the degree of attention is much worse in comparison.

Of course, as a time traveler, Li Ke still paid attention to this duel.

Steve Kerr is still working, and Terry Porter is the head coach, losing the basic set of running and bombing. The strength of the Suns has declined quite obviously.

On the other hand, the Spurs have entered the transition period ahead of schedule.

Popovich was acutely aware that basketball in the NBA was changing.

Therefore, this season, the Spurs have a lot more pick-and-roll cooperation.

The most amazing thing about this game is that the Spurs didn't play like the Spurs, and the Suns didn't play like the Suns...

In the end, it was the Spurs who won the victory.

"The Suns should not be able to enter the playoffs, who made the West too strong..."

……

The Bobcats rested in Cleveland for a day, and in the evening, departed for Miami.

The regular season of the new season begins with two straight away games. This schedule is not good, but fortunately, these two straight away games are not back-to-back two-way games.

The Bobcats still have plenty of time to rest and adjust.

But Li Ke needs to consider one thing——

"This year's Halloween, you can no longer be as lucky as last year."

In last year's Halloween battle, Li Ke, who had no preparations, wore a Boss Joe's jersey. He succeeded in asking God to get on his upper body in the game, so he was named the best costume for Halloween.

This year's Halloween battle, Li Ke asked Lu Ning to make a Sun Monkey suit, preparing to play the Monkey King in the Halloween catwalk.

It would be even better if they could make a big fuss during the game.

In fact, Li Ke can also learn from Dayao, as if there is no Halloween.

But he knows that if he wants to blend in, he has to join in all aspects.

In addition to Halloween costumes, he also prepared this year's Halloween gifts in advance——

Each person has an iphone 7G mobile phone that was just launched in July this year. The mobile phone is pre-installed with WeChat, an instant messaging software for mobile phones that has already been released.
