I'm not really a role player

Chapter 293
Another All-Star weekend in Dallas.

Li Ke counted with his fingers. This is already his third All-Star in the NBA.

Everything is already familiar——

Arriving the day before, Li Ke checked into the hotel and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, he participated in the fan carnival held by the league. As soon as the event was over, he was dragged away by Boss Joe.

There are no casinos in Dallas, and Boss Joe is a bit boring. Fortunately, he has other hobbies.

Following Boss Qiao, Li Ke soon saw a beautiful golf course.

To be honest, Li Ke doesn't know much about this sport, but here, he saw the ceiling of this sport.

"Sheldon, this one doesn't need my introduction, does it?"

Boss Qiao called out to Li Ke, but did not introduce the thin black man who was walking towards him.

Li Ke didn't panic, Tiger Woods, he still knew.

"Of course, I know the Michael Jordan of golf."

Then Li Ke stretched out his right hand towards Tiger Woods.

Woods smiled, and also extended his right hand: "You too, the next Michael Jordan in basketball."

After jokingly greeting each other, the group stood on the golf course.

Li Ke, who doesn't know much about this sport, is not even interested in it.

He just watched the old Joe swing one by one under the guidance of Woods.

After a while, the golf course began to fill up.

Seeing the appearance of Patrick Ewing, Damon Wayans (actor), Ahmed Drash (actor) and others, Li Ke realized that Old Joe had brought him to a party of Jordan's close friends.

"So, am I also old Joe's best friend?"

Thinking of the full value of friendliness given in the system, Li Ke thinks, forget it!

However, this party is boring to Li Ke, because he doesn't like golf, and he is not very interested in the topics of this group of middle-aged people.

Instead, this group of old men discussed this year's All-Star Weekend around Li Ke for a while.

Most of them are questions, just like reporters asking Li Ke all kinds of questions.

For example, this year's All-Star Weekend, why did Li Ke still not participate in the dunk contest.

Li Ke doesn't want to say the same rhetoric again, this year he found a new reason: "I am waiting for a strong opponent."

"A strong opponent?"

"That's right, not only must the strength be outstanding, but the prestige must also be outstanding."

"Outstanding strength also requires outstanding reputation, Michael, it's your turn to make a comeback..."

Damon Wayans made a joke, but it is true that Li Ke's two requirements are the most perfect match, and it is really old Joe.

Old Qiao naturally shook his head, he knew that Li Ke was not talking about him.

"Is Sheldon referring to Kobe Bryant, or LeBron James?"

Li Ke silently gave a thumbs up, Kobe was incidental, what he was really pointing at was Lebron who also did not participate in the dunk contest for various reasons.

Li Ke was disappointed in the slam dunk contest, and the group focused on the only All-Star Game that Li Ke participated in.

"Then it's the main game, Sheldon, you won't continue to mess around in this year's main game, will you?"

Li Ke spread his hands, he didn't want to mess around, but did he have the final say?

In this year's All-Star Game, the head coach of the East team is Stan Van Gundy. If World of Warcraft is interested in this AMVP, and the master and apprentice join hands, what else is there?

Even if World of Warcraft has no idea about this AMVP, the other three of the starting five, Wade, Lebron and Bosh, join hands, what does Li Ke think, is it important?
"All-star, it's just an exhibition game. Seriously, I don't care, just play if you can..."

Li Ke is very helpless, but he also knows that it's not that he is not popular, but that his time has not yet come.

From the distribution of the All-Star starters, there are three 03-generation players in the East, and one pan-03-generation player (Howard, who was elected in 04). Only Li Ke was a rookie in 07. The time difference between three and four years is already a generation behind.

On the west side, the closest one is Pao Ge who ran for the election in 05.

The players of Li Ke's generation became the All-Star starters, and Li Ke was the only one. Even with the 06 draft as the dividing line, the young people who entered the NBA after 06 entered the All-Stars this season. Apart from Li Ke, there are only Al Horford and Derrick Rose in the East, and only Xiaodu and Brandon Roy in the West.

Let's look at Lebang again, the 03 generation is just the starter, there are three players in the east, and Guagua in the west.

To expand the concept to the Pan-03 generation, you have to add Howard and Brother Pao, and there are countless substitutes.

"Looking at this year's situation, Lebron has a good chance to win an AMVP!"

It is mainly decided by the head coaches of the East and West. The head coach of the East is Stan Van Gundy. Sparks is a playful player. He probably doesn't have much idea about AMVP. He should only think about how to show off his sense of humor.

In this case, as long as LeBron gets the support of Wade and Bosh, he is the only hot spot in the East.

In the West, the Nuggets are No. [-] in the West, and George Karl is the head coach of the West.

It is impossible for Guagua to have no idea about this AMVP, he will definitely seek the support of George Karl.

Kobe, who won the AMVP last year, probably didn't have much idea about this AMVP. Brother Pao just won it the year before last, and he likes to pass the ball, so he probably didn't have much idea.

Although the driver is playing at home, the Lone Ranger's focus is on the regular season. For the All-Star Weekend, it should also be a can-do attitude.

Not to mention the center Jiasao, the big brother on the same team has no idea, what else can he think?
Guagua will definitely not be able to defeat the Big Three that joined forces in the Eastern Conference ahead of time, so——

"This year's All-Star Game should be the most boring."

Fortunately, Li Ke met a group of new friends on this golf course in Dallas, which can be regarded as another gain.

……

On the third day of staying in Dallas, in the morning, NBA community care activities.

In the afternoon, Li Ke received an invitation from Kobe to attend another party.

The All-Star Weekend is like this, one gathering after another, like a large-scale NBA star exchange meeting, but the factions will be more clearly divided.

For example, Li Ke, after the "American Sweetheart" and #口失谁谁性的化名# incident, he completely said goodbye to the platinums of the 03 generation.

However, his relationship with Kobe is still that of friend and foe.

At Kobe's party, Li Ke also met Brother Pao.

Emmm, Brother Pao should be the kind of fence-sitter. On the one hand, he has a very good relationship with Le Bang and his group, and he is also the Banana Boat Brothers and the Four Heroes.

But on the other hand, his relationship with Kobe and Li Ke is not bad.

But in terms of relationship, the relationship between Kobe and Lebron is not bad.

It's just that there are very few people in the NBA like Brother Pao who have both sides. It's no wonder that he can become the chairman of the players' union in the future.

In the evening, the Rookie Challenge kicked off.

Li Ke is very concerned, because the Bobcats have three players, Curry, Wesley Matthews and Tajibson.

In fact, the public opinion circle is a bit uncomfortable with the three Bobcats being selected for the Rookie Challenge, because there are too many rookies against the sky this year, Curry is okay, Wesley Matthews and Tajibson are really not ranked.

However, the alliance's quotas are mainly based on two points. Data performance is only one aspect, and popularity is also very important.

Because of the existence of Li Ke, Wesley Matthews and Tajibson are very popular, and the difference in position helped them defeat Jonny Flynn, Ty Lawson, etc., and entered this year's rookie game.

Although there were a large number of people, it was not any one of these three who really started the match and ruled the field.

I don't know if his combat power is indeed higher than that of the rookies of the same class, or he just seized the opportunity. From the beginning, Tyreke Evans played vigorously, scoring various breakthroughs, and passing the ball, giving people a feeling of LeBron James.

The starter Curry could only give Tyreke Evans a hand, and the first-year team quickly took the lead.

The second-year team is not the opponent of the first-year team. On the one hand, the gap between the 08 draft and the 09 draft is indeed not small. On the other hand, Derrick Rose needs to participate in the main game, so he pigeonholes the rookie game.

In this way, in the first two halves, the first-year team scored 140 points and defeated the second-year team 140-128.

Tyreke Evans, who scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, successfully won the MVP trophy of the Rookie Challenge.

Looking at Tyreke Evans' regular season data, he averaged 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, just like the smaller LeBron.

The best rookie is already on the way. Whether the league will support it or not is uncertain. After all, Mr. Si's eyes are vicious, and he should still be able to see the essence of Tyreke Evans' rookie peak.

……

On the fourth day of staying in Dallas, in the morning, it was still a community care activity arranged by the alliance.

In the afternoon, Li Ke called Xiao Du, and Jiba, Westbrook, Curry, Harden who participated in the rookie game, plus Daluo and Jeff Green who came to watch the excitement.

This is Li Ke's own circle. Jiba and Westbrook are his close friends, and Xiao Du is not too close. Harden has become acquainted after a few fights. Da Luo and Jeff Green, one follows Xiao Du, and the other is the same agent, and the relationship is not bad.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, think about this year's All-Star Game, and then think about the future.

When Xiaodu, Jiba, Westbrook, Curry, and Harden take over, it will not be difficult for Li Ke to dominate a small All-Star game.

Still the same sentence, Li Ke's era has not yet arrived!

After a hot chat that was neither salty nor dull, time entered the stage of the All-Star Miscellaneous Competition in the evening.

The Bobcats did not participate in the shooting star contest.

The four teams participating are the Texas United, Eagles, Kings and Lakers.

Here, Li Ke saw Kenny Smith representing the Texas United, Brent Barry representing the Lakers, Chris Webber representing the Kings, and Steve Smith representing the Eagles.

Because he was always being narrated by Kenny Smith, Li Ke naturally chose to support the Texas United.

In the end, he lived up to his expectations. Under the leadership of Nuo Tianwang, the Texas United team won the cup successfully!

In the skills contest, the Bobcats were still unattended.

Nash defeated Deron and won the trophy.

In the next three-point contest, Stephen Curry played.

Speaking of which, a few years ago, some media reporters would ask: Why didn't Li Ke participate in the three-point contest.

No one asked this year, because this season, Li Ke really didn't make many three-pointers.

On the one hand, the B-level three-pointers are not enough, and on the other hand, the arrival of Curry has filled the Bobcats' three-point line.

However, Curry's first three-point contest in his career was disappointing.

Under Li Ke's loud cheers, Curry entered the final with the first place in the preliminaries.

In the final, he played abnormally and even made three non-stick shots. In the end, he scored 17 points and lost to Pierce's 20 points.

Pierce of the Celtics won the championship in an upset!
Finally, there was the slam dunk contest. Although the atmosphere at the scene was hot, Li Ke felt very bored.

After receiving a WeChat message from Joe's boss, saying that he was going to go for a run at the racecourse outside Dallas, Li Ke immediately chose to leave early.

Afterwards, he knew that little potato Nate Robinson won his third slam dunk trophy and announced that he would no longer participate in the slam dunk contest.

Li Ke, who was far away at the racecourse in the outskirts of Dallas, thought for a moment, took out his mobile phone, and used the new function of WeChat and Facebook to post a new Facebook update——

"I, Sheldon Lee, hereby declare: never in the dunk contest!"

Then, I turned off my mobile phone, rode on a big horse, and galloped away...

Li Ke's trend of following the trend has attracted some attention.

The main reason is that Li Ke directly announced that he would never participate in the slam dunk contest, which disappointed those enthusiastic reporters and die-hard fans who had expected Li Ke to participate in the slam dunk contest.

"Never in the dunk contest? DON'T!!!"

"Sheldon was just joking, right?"

"If Sheldon doesn't participate in the slam dunk contest, it will only be a loss for the slam dunk contest..."

"..."

Li Ke's thinking was relatively simple. He was annoyed by friends, media reporters, and even fans around him. When he saw Little Tudou publicly announced that he would no longer participate in the dunk contest, he thought of such a once-and-for-all solution.

What?What should I do if I come out of the mountain to participate in the future?
What else can I do, the joke I posted on Facebook can also be taken seriously?

……

The fifth day of staying in Dallas is the day of the All-Star Game.

In the locker room, Li Ke's guess was right. Sparks really had no idea about AMVP, so Lebron made an agreement with his All-Star teammates early on to give him the ball...

Needless to say, Wade and Bosh, the Sparks have no objections, and Stan Van Gundy is even more indifferent. Anyway, it is not his players who are tired.

As for Li Ke, Le Bang just skipped it.

"Trust me, guys, I will lead you to win this decisive battle of Yuxi troops!"

"We want to use this victory to prove that the NBA is not strong in the west and weak in the east!"

I have to say that Le Bang is still very good at talking in scenes, Li Ke curled his lips and didn't care.

But when the game really started, what Le Bang didn't expect was that it wasn't the silent and sinister Li Ke who stabbed him in the back, but his good brother, Wade...

In the first half of the game, LeBron has been playing smoothly, and his good brother Wade has been passing him the ball.

In this way, Lebron scored a perfect data of 11 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals.

Then in the third quarter, he continued to brush.

The East team is also leading in various ways.

But at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the West team suddenly launched a counterattack and evened the score.

In the absence of LeBon, Wade could only bite the bullet and carry the team's prospects. After consecutive fouls and scoring, the Eastern team regained the lead, but the situation was suddenly unclear.

The main thing is that Wade's scoring tied Lebron's and he had more assists.

Le Bang, who appeared in the second half of the quarter, began to worry.

But for some reason, on the Western side, Kobe suddenly started to defend seriously, but it was not Wade, but LeBron.

Such a defense gave Wade's game-high 28 points and 11 assists.

At the end of the game, Wade suddenly emerged and won the AMVP trophy.

Behind him is Le Bang with resentful eyes...
