I'm not really a role player

Chapter 245 The First Defeat of North Shore Garden

Miami, American Airlines Arena.

On both sides of the stadium, all kinds of Heat fans in various Halloween costumes are cheering enthusiastically and excitedly.

On the court, Li Ke, who was wearing a bracelet that looked like a Sun Monkey, had already started to put his hands on his hips.

Lost, the game is lost.

Although there are still seven or eight minutes before the end of the game, the score is so large that seven and eight minutes is not enough for the Bobcats to chase, equalize and reverse the score.

"Raymond Felton, three point shot..."

Swish-!
"The goal is scored, 93 to 70, Miami has locked this victory!"

Seeing Fei Dun waving his little fat hands, excitedly celebrating the three-pointer, Li Ke, with his hips on his hips, understood what it means to move a tree to death and a person to live.

Fatton lived, and in this game, he and Wade's guard combination became the key to killing the Bobcats.

"Raymond Felton, who transferred from the Bobcats, has scored 20 points and 6 assists in this game."

"With the addition of Dwyane Wade's 21 points, the Heat's guard combination has already scored 41 points."

"In comparison, AI still performs poorly..."

One summer can change too many things.

In the previous season, Fei Dun could only give Lao Ai a hand. In the match at the beginning of the new season, Fei Dun beat Lao Ai one-on-one.

On the defensive end, Lao Ai made 15 of 7 shots and scored 20 points and 6 assists.

On the offensive end, he only made 15 of 3 shots and scored only 9 points.

Lao Ai, who was in poor condition, not only caused the Bobcats to lose a stable outside firepower, but more importantly, the Bobcats' offensive system revolved around Lao Ai.

When Lao Ai lost his temper, Li Ke could only take the lead.

In this game, Li Ke was able to withstand it. So far in the game, he made 17 of 9 shots and scored 24 points.

At this moment, the highest score on the court.

But obviously, Li Ke's 24 points cannot solve the team's offensive problem.

The problem with the offensive tactics with Li Ke as the core is already obvious——

"Sheldon's passing ability is far worse than Allen's..."

Playing against the Cavaliers, on the surface, the Bobcats relied on the simple and direct connection between Li Ke and Hua Laoer to solve the problem of organizing the pass.

In fact, they can win more relying on defense.

But when facing the Heat in this game, the Bobcats' defense didn't work.

The main reason is that the Heat scored too many points.

There are Wade and Felton at the back line, and Michael Beasley, the second pick in this season's draft, on the front line, plus Jermaine O'Neal who is a raw trade exception. This season's Heat can be regarded as a small four-core lineup.

Faced with a multi-core lineup, the Bobcats' defense is naturally not so perfect, and the Heat will always find an opportunity to punch through.

Turning around, defending one-on-one, Wade's defense against Li Ke is also very difficult.

But from beginning to end, Eric Spoelstra's team did not flank Li Ke, and there were not even many defenses.

The Heat insisted on man-to-man defense, and the second Hua on the flank was also marked to death by Beasley.

In this case, expecting Li Ke, who has no level of organization to pass the ball, to pass the pass that penetrates the defense line is just wishful thinking.

Sidelines, Sam Vincent thinking about this game, the Bobcats few waves played a climax stage.

For a while, it should be Li Ke's continuous singles against Wade, hitting a small climax.

In the other section, the old shark in the penalty area exerted his strength, and it was also a continuous singles.

Therefore, the problem has become very prominent.

"Our tactics are still too simple."

The Bobcats' tactics are too single, and they can only rely on Lao Ai's singles to open up the situation.

Last season, an old Ai who averaged nearly 27 points per game was able to support the offense of this Bobcats team.

This season, an old Ai who has declined in an all-round way is naturally not enough.

"We have to find a new set of offensive tactics that suit us."

After sustaining for another minute or so, Sam Vincent raised his hands in surrender and replaced him with a substitute.

Then six or seven minutes later, the red light for the end of the game came on.

"81 to 105, the Bobcats suffered a disastrous away game. The result of this Halloween battle is surprising."

"Compared with the opening game, the Bobcats in this game seem to have played the role of the Cavaliers in the opening game, and the offensive problems can be seen at a glance."

"Although Sheldon scored 27 points, just one Sheldon's outburst cannot save the whole game from collapsing. The most prominent point is that the state of AI is too bad."

On the sidelines of the court, Li Ke, who played the role of Monkey King before the game, failed to achieve the feat of wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace at the American Airlines Center.

This defeat also made Li Ke sigh a little.

He didn't think about Lao Ai, he just thought that his progress was still a bit small.

Last season, when Li Ke proposed to boss Joe to trade Lao Ai, he had already considered the possible sharp decline of Lao Ai's arrival.

So now, Lao Ai's state is within Li Ke's expectations.

And if Li Ke's progress can be even greater...

Of course, the reality is that there are no ifs.

Like the coaching staff, Li Ke has already begun to think about solutions.

With his brain spinning non-stop, Li Ke, who had no energy, walked to the technical stage and gave Fei Dun a big hug.

"Hey, Raymond, your performance is so good, you don't hold back at all against your old club..."

Fatton smiled: "Haha, keep your hands? Impossible, Sheldon, you know, we are all chasing victory, after all, the taste of failure is too uncomfortable."

"Yes, failure is too painful..."

No one understands the pain of failure better than Fatton...

For Felton, the trade last season allowed him to go from a Bobcats with a significantly improved record to a Heat that was crazily underperforming at that time.

Watching the former teammates enjoy the joy of victory, but Felton, in Miami, faced one miserable defeat after another.

In the new season, Wade made his comeback and joined the second place. Felton finally came to the end, and it was indeed time for him to win.

"Enjoy your victory, Raymond."

Patting Fei Dun on the shoulder, Li Ke turned around to leave, but was stopped by Wade who had just finished exchanging greetings with Lao Ai.

"Hey, Sheldon, don't go, how about a few words..."

Li Ke stopped in his tracks, let's just chat, it's no big deal.

After all, this is the NBA, an NBA that relies more and more on human relationships.

Looking at Wade in front of him, Li Ke thought so even more.

Not counting this season, after another season, Wade will join forces with his brothers, the peak...

Emmm, that's right, Li Ke is very sure that in the summer of 10, Lebron's decisive drama will be staged as scheduled, and the Big Three in Miami will follow the trend of history without any changes.

Because, this summer, during the Olympics, he heard some gossip.

And, the Cavaliers are the same as their previous life, showing no signs of improvement, and the Heat are also the same as their previous life, following the old path of Michael Beasley, and finally Bosh, who is not very important.

Everything has shown that if the 03 Platinum Generation wants to achieve success, they must join forces.

Of course, it is too early to say this now.

Li Ke's top priority is still in front of him - solving the team's offensive crisis.

……

Turning around and leaving Miami, the Bobcats quickly set off and returned to Charlotte.

Then, there was a meeting of the coaching staff. After a heated discussion, Sam Vincent finally decided: "We are going to play the triangle offense!"

In the team's tactical class, when Sam Vincent made the above announcement, Li Ke frowned deeply.

He didn't like Sam Vincent's decision to play the triangle offense.

Indeed, Sam Vincent was right.

The Bobcats have the foundation of the triangle offense, because they have the Sharks, and Michael Jordan, the team owner who has achieved success with the triangle offense, or his success has made the triangle offense extremely dazzling.

And, Li Ke, Hua Er, and Lao Ai, individually, are all singles masters. The ultimate secret of the triangle offense is precisely to create one-on-one singles opportunities for players on one side.

Everything is aligned, but here's the problem: The triangle offense is too difficult.

Why did the triangle offense fade out of the NBA a few years later, because the triangle offense is too complicated.

It's complicated, the former boss Joe refused, Gary Payton refused to learn, Derrick Rose practiced for a year, but he was still all kinds of ignorant...

The trend in the NBA is that complex tactics will be gradually eliminated.

The tactics are getting simpler, the coordination is getting more direct, and the purpose is getting clearer...

At this time, the Bobcats are undoubtedly taking a step back if they want to take the road of triangle attack.

Not optimistic, Li Ke is really not optimistic.

Even so, he didn't object aloud, but devoted himself to tactical training honestly.

……

Recasting the tactical system itself is a time-consuming project.

Not to mention, what the Bobcats want to recast is the difficult tactical system of the triangle offense.

To be fully familiar with this set of tactics, the Bobcats need at least two or three months.

Therefore, for the time being, the Bobcats can only rely on a set of the simplest and most basic offensive tactics to conquer the world.

Fortunately, in the next game they lost to the Heat, the Bobcats' opponent was the Pistons, who were pissed off by the Rockets.

If you want to choose the worst team this season, or choose the team that has regressed the most, it must be the Pistons.

"Last season, the Pistons were the second-best team in the regular season in the Eastern Conference and the top team that broke into the Eastern Conference Finals. This season, they have fallen into the bottom..."

McGrady's deal has not yet been concluded, but there are tentative conclusions——

That's right, the Pistons were pitted by the Rockets, and McGrady's state is too bad.

Like Ai at the beginning of the season, in the first two games of the season, McGrady made 10 of 3 free throws and scored 16 points. In the other game, he scored 22 of 5 and only scored 14 points. The two bottomed out, obviously due to injuries.

For the Pistons, they need to make a decision.

Either let McGrady go to recuperate and give up the current season, or just stick to it, even if this persistence is meaningless.

The game between the Bobcats and the Pistons is a game that makes persistence meaningless.

Li Ke, who is facing McGrady, is the person who can most feel McGrady's decline.

"T-Mac's state is far worse than that of Lao Ai..."

bang bang bang...

The Bobcats' home basket was almost crooked.

On the one hand, McGrady is frantically blacksmithing, and on the other side, Lao Ai is blacksmithing in various ways.

Li Ke's condition was not much better either, he felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by the little prince.

In any case, the Pistons are definitely the worst team in the league this season, but the Bobcats are struggling a bit.

In the end, relying on the explosion of the old shark and Li Ke's long-range shot at the last moment, the final decision was made.

The Bobcats beat the Pistons at home, 88-83.

A victory seems to have solved the Bobcats crisis.

Then, on November 11, the Bobcats went away to challenge the Knicks.

101 to 85, the Bobcats won a big victory, and then returned to Charlotte.

……

After two games against bad teams, the Bobcats ushered in a strong team.

On the sidelines of the Time Warner Center, Li Ke touched the gun head again, emmm, this time, it was more like rubbing the gun head, because it was PJ Tucker who made the first move.

Li Ke just followed up and touched it, so naturally he wouldn't arouse Brother Pao's disgust.

Even so, Brother Pao still cursed and said, "Touch my head again? You wait for me!"

To this, Li Ke replied: "Just wait and wait!"

It was Tucker who scratched his head, not knowing what to reply.

He is different from Li Ke. He has no playing time and can only sit on the sidelines and watch the game.

The game started quickly and ended quickly.

The Bobcats ushered in their first home loss of the new season.

"101 to 95, the Bobcats hit the iron frequently at the last moment, and even the key king Sheldon lost his former glory. Chris Paul led the team and took away a victory from the Time Warner Center."

Why did Li Ke lose his former glory?Because he met James Posey.

Obviously, this signing of the Hornets is too targeted and too successful.

The record of 3 wins and 1 loss has added a loss, 3 wins and 2 losses, the struggle of the Bobcats has been reflected.

Immediately afterwards, they played against the Raptors at home again. At the last moment, relying on Li Ke's two three-pointers, they made it through with a score of 93 to 86.

……

On the 13th and 14th, the Bobcats played back-to-back games against the Magic at home and away.

In the penalty area, the monsters blocked the sky, and outside the three-point line, Jamal Nelson, Hidotkoglu, Rashard Lewis and Courtney Lee rained three-pointers.

Both games were like this, and the Bobcats lost two games in a row.

One game was 85 to 90, which was not too much of a loss, but the other was a direct loss of 73 to 98, which couldn't have been more miserable.

The powerful appearance of the Bobcat has already been torn away.

The triangle offense is still being practiced, and the Bobcats can only bite the bullet and move on.

At home, the Bobcats suddenly broke out. Lao Ai regained his form, and Li Ke also felt hot. They defeated the mighty Jazz in the West and ended their losing streak.

But then, they were at home and lost to the Lone Ranger.

Then they beat the Eagles away and won the Bucks and 76ers at home. It seems that everything is getting better again.

But then, the Bobcats lost to the Raptors in an away game in Toronto.

Although they have since defeated the Pacers, there is no need to say much about the hardships and struggles of the Bobcats in the new season as the curtain draws to a close in November.

"In the last match in November, the Bobcats will face the Celtics. The 11-9 Bobcats are struggling. Li Ke may have his first defeat at North Shore Garden..."
