I'm not really a role player

Chapter 248 An Improved December

The time has entered December, and Boston, Kevin Garnett raised the player of the month trophy amid applause.

But to be honest, this month is the best, and Garnett is not very happy with it.

Because just the day before yesterday, they lost to the Bobcats.

Before this loss, the Celtics were going well, losing only one game to the Pacers.

It stands to reason that in the one-month schedule, the Celtics only lost two games, and their record is already very good. Garnett should not be depressed.

But the problem is that in this game, the Celtics lost too badly. From the beginning to the end, they failed to play their competitiveness.

Considering that last season, the Celtics also lost to the Bobcats helplessly like this game, and Garnett felt that the future was bleak.

Is it agreed that the formation of the Big Three will be invincible?The promised championship is in sight?

The month in hand is the best, which proves that Garnett has no problems. So, where is the problem?
Under the spotlight, Garnett turned his head and looked to the side. On one side was Pierce, who would inevitably misfire as long as he faced the Bobcats.

Big Three? QTMD Big Three!
Holding the trophy like this, reluctantly smiling for a few minutes, Garnett left the pre-game press conference, and then he found Danny Ainge.

……

No one knows what Garnett said to Angie. Perhaps it was the same as what Li Ke said to Boss Joe, or maybe he just found Angie to chat and talk heart-to-heart.

In short, the camera is turned back to the Bobcats, the deal is still being negotiated, and the change is already ahead.

In the first game in December, the Bobcats faced the team that Hardett once fought, the Minnesota Timberwolves.

Compared with the previous season, the Timberwolves in the new season still have some new atmosphere. Kevin Love's draft pick, the Timberwolves are undoubtedly the right one.

As far as this game is concerned, Al Jefferson, the No. [-] rookie partner of this season, formed the twin towers, and even slightly suppressed the inside combination of the old shark plus Vladimir Radmanovic.

Yes, Radmanovic started again, but this time, the reason for his start was no longer related to the opponent.

The opponent is the Twin Towers, no matter how outrageous Sam Vincent is, he will not pick an opponent who has the Twin Towers, and let Radmanovic, who is struggling in the fourth position, start.

Obviously, in order to trade, the Bobcats have already inspected the goods first.

Although the inside line is suppressed, the outside line and the two sides are not of the same magnitude.

Lao Ai's state has improved. In this game against Randy Foye, he made 19 of 9 shots, scored 24 points, and had 7 assists.

Lao Ai has played so well, the Bobcats' offense has naturally returned to its peak.

Li Ke beat Mac Miller violently, and Hua's second child also made Ryan Gomez lose his hands.

In this way, the Bobcats won three consecutive victories after losing to the Raptors.

A day later, the Bobcats continued their home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Radmanovic continued to start, but was severely beaten by Xiao Du, who played in the fourth position.

Even so, the Bobcats still won.

Because of the outside line, Li Ke also beat Sabo Seforosa violently.

And, in this game, Lao Ai's state continued to rise. Facing Earl Watson, he easily scored 27 points and added 5 assists.

Of course, the more important thing is that the insider of the old shark has severely educated this season's No. [-] rookie Brook Lopez...

After the game, Li Ke and Xiao Du communicated closely——

"Hey Kevin, great game..."

"Great game? Are you laughing at us?"

"No, I'm serious, Kevin."

"seriously?"

"Yes, at least, in my opinion, compared with last season, you have improved..."

"FK!"

At the end of the chat, he still laughed, and Xiao Du threw out an American curse, but instead of leaving, he told Li Ke:

"We'll stop in Charlotte for one night, didn't you say so?"

"Do you mean to treat you to a meal? Of course it's no problem, but I have to wait until everything here is over."

Li Ke pointed to the reporters on the sidelines who were already waiting, and then made a gesture of calling: "That's it, WeChat contact."

That's right, it's WeChat contact. After more than half a month of Li Ke's promotion, WeChat has become the most commonly used contact method among NBA players.

Most players have already added friends to each other, just like Li Ke, who already has more than 1000 contacts in his WeChat address book.

There are NBA players, coaches, and executives, as well as athletes, coaches, and executives from the NFL and MBL next door, executives from major advertising endorsement manufacturers, reporters, experts, commentators, and commentators related to the sports circle...

All in all, WeChat has become popular, and to a certain extent, it has completely penetrated the American sports circle.

"Wait a little longer, this thing will be sold."

Li Ke is not going to hold it for a long time, because he knows that he can't hold it for a long time at all, he might as well make a fortune and run away.

On the sidelines of the court, Li Ke accepted the post-match interview of Yang Wu.

Then I used Wechat to tell Xiao Du: See you in the parking lot, and I also called Jeff Green by the way.

……

In the parking lot, Li Ke met Xiao Du, Jeff Green, and Brook Lopez who came uninvited.

Li Ke doesn't mind if one more young man joins their small group, especially since Da Luo has a good personality, and getting along will not be too tiring.

However, when Li Ke saw Da Luo, he thought of the Thunder's strategy this season.

That's right, this season, the Thunder is not going to be a mess. They have established a core lineup composed of several young people early on. Xiao Du, Jeff Green and Da Luo are the core of this core lineup.

One month into the season, the record of 7 wins and 12 losses is not bad.

This record also proves that Xiao Du's ability to lead a team is not much different from that of Li Ke.

The twin stars of the 07 generation are really in opposition everywhere...

"So, this season, your determination is not to show off?"

"Yes, we must strive to win every game..."

Li Ke questioned, Xiao Du shouted to express his determination.

But to be honest, Li Ke's doubts are justified. Not to mention that the Thunder's current record is not good, even if they catch up to a [-]% winning percentage all the way, it will be difficult for the Thunder to compete for a playoff spot in the Western Conference.

When the current situation continues until the middle of the season, Sam Presti will definitely repeat the old tricks and play badly on the spot.

But at this time, Li Ke could understand Lei Ting's determination not to show off.

First, young people also need to win to build confidence.

Two, next year's draft will be a very young year, emmm, this is not what Li Ke said, but the general experts have been emphasizing.

Almost all draft experts believe that the 09 draft will be dominated by Blake Griffin's family, and at most James Harden can stand up and compete for a little bit.

For the rest, Hasim Thabeet is a big guy who sells potential, Russell Westbrook is already a junior, Stephen Curry is not only a junior, but the Davidson College he plays for is still a minor league college, and his competitiveness is too low.

Ricky Rubio is from Europe, Brandon Jennings did not play in the NCAA and went to Europe, and the rest such as Tyreke Evans, DeMar DeRozan... are not even worth mentioning at this time.

Therefore, the Thunder are not going to play badly, because next year's draft is not worthy of them.

"We will never play badly again, but a deal is still possible."

"trade?"

While eating and chatting, chatting and chatting, we talked about some sensitive topics.

Xiao Du mentioned the deal, but it was Jeff Green who looked dark.

"That's right, the deal Kevin mentioned is related to me."

Jeff Green is very straightforward: "Sam Presti talked to me. My position overlaps with Kevin's. Although it is possible for me or Kevin to play the fourth position now, this is not a long-term solution after all."

"Sam is very optimistic about the Spanish power forward Serge Ibaka, so even if there is no trade, there will be no room for me to survive in the Thunder in the future."

Li Ke frowned. Sam Presti's analysis was still on target, and Jeff Green had already fully proved himself. Perhaps leaving was not a bad thing.

"Have you talked to David about this?"

David Falk is also Jeff Green's agent. If there is a deal, Jeff Green must talk to David Falk.

I saw Jeff Green nodded: "David told me that the transaction is a good thing, and he will help me operate it."

"Then it's no problem, Jeff, your strength is outstanding, you shouldn't stay in the Thunder as Kevin's substitute."

To be honest, Li Ke was a little moved when he heard that Jeff Green was about to be traded.

But considering that the Bobcats already have Hua's second child at the same position, there is no need for another Jeff Green.

Therefore, he pressed down the idea of ​​wanting to intervene.

"Jeff Green will be sent away. The Thunder will use him as the main body of the transaction. Maybe they can really make a big deal. The Thunder's second and third minors are probably gone. The possibility of bringing the old with the new is getting bigger and bigger..."

……

After sending away the Thunder, the Bobcats' regular season continued.

On December 12, they headed to Milwaukee for another win.

The only thing that can be mentioned about the victory of this game is that Li Ke feels that his current style of play is a bit similar to that of Michael Reid——

Their styles are all projective, they all hit with one hand behind them, and they all have breakthroughs, but none of them are good.

"Maybe you can learn from Reid's style of play."

Although the Bucks have a poor record, it is more due to injuries. Without injuries, Reed still has a little ability to lead the team.

After defeating the Bucks, the Bobcats won five consecutive victories.

But on December 12, they headed to Cleveland for back-to-back away games against the Cavaliers.

In this game, the old sharks take turns to rest, and the situation seems to be different from the opening game.

But when the fight started, Li Ke still used his solid defense to tell Lebron: Sheldon Lee will soon have a new nickname, that is, Emperor Killer!
Le Bang was locked up again, without Le Bang's knights, half of the combat power was lost.

In this way, without the old shark, the Bobcats defeated the Cavaliers again.

Although this game, Lao Ai's state has gone down again...

On the 8th, the Bobcats returned home, defeated the Heat, and completed their revenge.

On the 10th, the Bobcats were once again defeated by the Hornets in an away game, and the double play of the season is a foregone conclusion.

After the game, Brother Pao took Tucker and Li Ke again, chatted eagerly, and even wanted to take the two of them to have a supper.

If Shan Mao hadn't wanted to leave overnight, Li Ke might have agreed.

Seeing Brother Pao who is becoming more and more like a general in front of him, Li Ke is a little emotional.

The signing of James Posey was very successful, so the Hornets formed the core lineup of Qian Tyson, David West, James Posey, Peja and Pao Ge, and the core lineup of the sixth man Raschel Butler, which is very competitive.

"Unfortunately, the floor of the Western Conference Finals is preventing Brother Pao from achieving success."

After losing to the Hornets, the Bobcats' winning streak ended.

The winning streak is over, followed by the losing streak.

Because after the Hornets, they lost back-to-back games to the Lone Ranger, and they were also double-killed this season.

Back to back, the old shark took a rest again. No one can withstand the impact of the old German driver, and it is reasonable to lose.

But for the Bobcats, for a strong team that intends to compete for the championship, a losing streak during the season is unacceptable.

For a time, the Bobcats are no longer the favorite rhetoric rampant.

……

On the 13th, the Bobcats once again played against the Pistons, who were cried by the Rockets, and ended their losing streak with a big victory.

It is worth mentioning that McGrady did not play in this game. It is said that McGrady will withdraw from this season and undergo surgery.

"T-Mac is gone..."

Li Ke, who won the game, had only this sigh of emotion left.

On the 15th, the Bobcats defeated the Eagles and won two consecutive victories.

On the 16th, they played back-to-back against the Bulls and fought hard in four quarters. Relying on Li Ke's continuous baseline dunks at the last moment, they struggled to take away a victory.

Then, the Bobcats rested for three days, and on the 19th, they played an away game against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Here, Li Ke met his "ideal person" Kyle Lowry.

After four consecutive victories, Li Ke thought of the deal that was under negotiation.

"In the past half month, the team's record has improved, and Lao Ai's condition has also returned a lot..."

In December, after the Grizzlies, the Bobcats achieved a record of 12 wins and 9 losses, which is a good result.

Lao Ai's shooting percentage has also returned to more than 22%, and his average scoring is hovering around [-] points per game.

I can't go back to last season, but Lao Ai in his current state is enough.

"Is the transaction still necessary?"

Li Ke felt that it was necessary.

There are many reasons for the improvement in the record in December. On the one hand, the recovery of Lao Ai's state is due to it, but on the other hand, it is also related to the low strength of the opponent.

Looking at Lowry on the opposite side, playing as Mike Conley's substitute is really a bit wasteful.

Instead of letting Lowry waste his youth in the Grizzlies, it is better to let him join the Bobcats to realize his value. If the Grizzlies refuse, then reply: Is Lowry's youth not youth?

(dog head...)
……

Before Christmas, the Bobcats returned home and defeated the Warriors and Wizards one after another.

以12月11胜2负的战绩，加上10月、11月合计21胜8负的战绩，迎来了另一场关键之战——圣诞大战。

The opponent of the Christmas War is the Rockets, and the Bobcats will also rarely play at home.

Speaking of which, this game will be the most important game hosted by the Time Warner Center apart from the playoffs and finals.

For a while, Charlotte City became lively.

Quanmei's eyes also focused on her.
