I'm not really a role player

Chapter 300 Refusal to kill
In the second half of the second quarter, Li Ke was flanked. Although the opponent's defensive ability was average, as long as the defense was in place, Li Ke's offense was still a bit difficult.

After all, his mid-range shot is only B-level, and he still can't shoot Kobe's effect when facing a double defense.

Facing the pinch defense, Li Ke's offensive efficiency inevitably declined.

Seeing this, on the sidelines, Rivers, who waited until the ball was dead, replaced Curry back without hesitation.

The head star encounters a pinch defense, which has already restrained the opponent's defense to the maximum extent.

Then, what should be played next is naturally the second head of the team.

Whether Curry is the second in charge of the Bobcats, this point will not be discussed for the time being.

Rivers' substitutions took into account the fact that Hua's No. [-] appeared in a row and his physical fitness might be lacking, and the second was that Li Ke was flanked. What the Bobcats needed was more shooters.

It is very difficult to pass from the outside to the inside, but to pass from the inside to the outside, you just need to have hands.

After the substitution, the Bobcats' first attack, Li Ke's singles, as in the past, attracted the pinch defense, passed inside and outside, and directly found Curry.

But facing Redick's weak defense, Curry made a three-pointer and hit the iron with a bang.

Curry, who rested for most of the quarter, felt a bit ordinary when he just returned to the court.

On the sidelines, Rivers frowned and just let the game continue.

If one goal is missed, there will be a second goal, and the same sentence, no one will never score...

Magic's round, in comparison, they did not play as easily as the Bobcats.

Send the ball inside and give it to the Sparks. After Turkoglu left the Magic, the Magic's playmaking offense became extremely sloppy.

Although at this time, they followed the Bobcats and replaced the old Carter. During the offense, they still had to go through the process of pulling the air first and giving the ball to the Sparks.

The current defense of the Bobcats is [-]% flanking sparks.

The ball entered Sparks' hand, and then it was passed out again.

Once this process is gone, the Magic's offensive time is running out.

That's not to mention, even if they pull the ball to the side at the beginning, the Magic may not be able to give the ball to the Sparks. The Bobcats' defense still tried to cut off the passing route.

Compared with the Bobcats, Li Ke holds the ball at the top of the arc for singles, the high position attracts pincers, and the series of processes of easily distributing the ball to the outside line, the difficulty of the Magic can be seen.

In the current round, the Magic went through the process once. Sparks received the ball from the basket, turned around and made a cross pass, and Redick in the corner on the other side received the ball and raised his hand for a three-pointer...

Bang-dang-!
Wesley Matthews, who came off the bench, was well defended and blocked Redick's shot angle.

But the Magic has no choice. If the ball is distributed, they have to shoot. If they don't shoot, the opportunity is wasted.

The two sides struck iron separately, and the Bobcats, which had an easier process, still had the advantage.

But soon, in another offensive round of the Bobcats, Li Ke broke through to attract flanking attacks, jumped to the outside line, and found Curry again.

This time, Curry missed another shot against Jamal Nelson's defense.

Bang, bang, two irons, Curry, who just returned to the court, feels that his touch can no longer be described as ordinary.

On the sidelines, Rivers continued to frown. At this moment, he has few choices but to continue to trust Curry.

Li Ke also adapted to the situation, interspersed a round of strong shots between singles and passes.

Although I know that the B-level COSCO is facing a pinch defense, it is not enough to watch.

Li Ke still dares to try. He knows that level is not everything. Sometimes, players can still rely on better state and more amazing will to perform at a level beyond their level.

But with a bang, his attempt strikes iron.

Fortunately, the Magic's offense was also quite unsatisfactory, and the pincer attack that Sparks encountered was of the highest level.

Kua's No. [-] pick has always been the object of ridicule, but in terms of defense and size, he really won't lose to anyone, or he won't blind Boss Joe's eyes and become Jordan's hand-picked No. [-] pick.

Coupled with Tajibson's assisted defense, even Li Ke occasionally leans over. With such defensive treatment, it is difficult for the peak spark to break free.

Compared to Li Ke who tried, Spark didn't try at all. The moment he caught the ball and saw the pincer, it was an outward pass immediately.

The Magic's outsiders are not very capable of seizing opportunities.

Therefore, the Magic's offense is still mostly iron.

but……

There will be a turning point in everything, and the turning point here is that Curry's state suddenly went down.

Even though Li Ke passed him a few good shots, he failed to catch them. He hit the iron continuously, and the Bobcats, who had a small lead, were chased back by the Magic.

At halftime, 57 to 54, the Bobcats lead by 3 points.

Although leading, but the leading point difference is not big, Rivers shook his head a little.

When he used the pinch defense in the second quarter, he thought that the suspense of the game would be gone.

But people are not as good as God, even Rivers, it can't be considered that the Magic's defense blocked Li Ke's singles, and then his hope of replacing - Curry, fell into a downturn.

If Curry is not in a slump, if he seizes a few of the opportunities passed by Li Ke, the Bobcats will lead by a big score at halftime.

pity……

"Let's start all over again!"

In any case, the Bobcats are the one with the advantage.

Whether the advantage is big or small, there are always some. As long as there is an advantage, the Bobcats are the one that is closer to victory than the Magic.

The second half of the game started quickly, and at the beginning, the Bobcats had the ball.

Both sides played with all the main players, and Li Ke received the ball at the top of the arc and continued to play singles.

Leaning against Michael Pietrus with his back, he advanced two steps, and turned around, he encountered the pinch defense from Little Black Bean.

Li Ke intentionally forcibly crushed Xiao Heidou's defense, but when he turned his back again, he saw a short space on Curry's side, so he jumped up and passed the ball without hesitation...

"Selton, faced the pinch defense, jumped up and passed the ball, and found Stephen Curry accurately!"

"Vote, Stephen!"

On the sidelines, Rivers seemed to be shouting.

But there was no need for Rivers to remind him, Curry's shot was already extremely resolute, he jumped up vigorously, and sent the ball with both hands.

On the flank, Carter Sr. approached quickly, giving Curry a slight disturbance.

Bang-dang-!
Watching the basketball hit the frame once, Li Ke shook his head.

Glancing at the skinny little black bean again, he already had other thoughts.

At the basket, Sparks grabbed the rebound with the help of Brandon Bass, who was on the rotation.

Stan Van Gundy obviously also understood that whether it is Rashard Lewis or Ryan Anderson, appearing on the court will only greatly weaken their rebounding ability.

If you change someone, put on Brandon Bass, the Magic's dominance at the basket can be regained.

On the court, the Magic's round, they are also trying new things.

Brandon Bass, who was new to the field, went straight up and gave Xiao Heidou a cover.

But the quality of the cover was really not high, and Little Black Bean just used the cover to take a small step away from Curry.

It was just this small step. Little Heidou saw the timing and threw a mid-range shot with a sudden stop.

Swish-!
The basketball hit the net, and the Magic got back 2 points. The Bobcats' original lead was immediately reduced to 1 point.

In the backcourt, Li Ke unhurriedly took the basketball from Jordan and took control of the frontcourt.

The frontcourt is still singles.

Pietrus' frontal defense was already going through the motions. He resisted Li Ke and let Li Ke push forward.

The moment he felt Li Ke was about to turn around, he waved to the side, and waited for the help of Little Black Dou.

"It's still a pinch defense, Michael Pietrus and Aaron Brooks' pinch defense..."

Facing the pinch defense, Li Ke turned around again, with his back to the basket.

He could feel the movement of Michael Pietrus, and he could also feel that Xiao Heidou's pinch defense only pinched him from the side.

There is still a chance to break free from the pinch that didn't put too much pressure on him.

So, Li Ke leaned against Pietrus with his back, turned to his left side, and tried a wave as if he was about to turn around.

It was also this wave of temptations, and Xiao Heidou's position was a little bit out. He was a little greedy and wanted to block Li Ke's passing route by the way.

As everyone knows, Li Ke no longer has the idea of ​​passing the ball.

Just as Little Heidou was taking small steps towards the outside, he suddenly turned around again, this time, it was no longer a feint.

His right arm was already in front of him, thick and powerful blocking Pietrus, who was not a strong man at all. Li Ke gritted his teeth and exerted his strength, roaring and striding forward, directly crushing his opponent!
"Turn around... Another turn, Sheldon keeps trying, he doesn't seem to have the idea of ​​passing the ball..."

"Oh my god, another turn, Sheldon squeezed past Michael Pietrus, he picked up speed, and got out of the Magic's trap in a shocking way!"

Under the basket, Huo Hua also watched all this with surprised eyes, then reacted quickly and rushed towards Li Ke.

At this moment, it was like a magnet appeared on the court, attracting as many as three people from the Magic.

Double team, I break through, three people defend, Li Ke still doesn't want to pass the ball.

He rushed to the basket, with a short body, abruptly bumped into the spark in the lateral movement, and then made a fake pass to the outside.

Pietrus and Xiao Heidou turned their heads directly. At this time, Li Ke only had to face Sparks' defense.

Sparks waved his long arms to interfere, but Li Ke turned his head and moved forward without stopping. The movements of his feet were even accelerating. After three or two steps, a low-handed layup...

"Sheldon still didn't pass the ball, he just made a false pass, and now, the game has turned into a one-on-one between him and Warcraft!"

"The low-handed layup who rushed to the basket, shot!"

Huo Huo jumped to his cap, but the basketball had already bypassed his big hand, and with a bang, it got into the net frame!

"The ball went in, incredible!"

"The Magic's defense has tried its best, but it still can't stop Sheldon!"

"This ball is Sheldon's magic stroke!"

No one thinks that Li Ke can reproduce this ball again, including his opponent Magic.

So, after the Magic made another difficult pass from inside to outside, the Bobcats grabbed the rebound after Carter Sr. made a mid-range shot against Li Ke's defense, and it was time for Li Ke to prove himself.

"It's still Sheldon's singles, and that doesn't seem like it's going to change anything."

As Kenny Smith said, Li Ke's singles will not change in any way.

He leaned against Michael Pietrus with his back. This time, he felt the seriousness of Pietrus, and the opponent was no longer going through the motions.

But so what?This time, he set his target on the skinny little black bean.

Pushing forward with his back, the moment he turned around, Little Heidou rushed over.

Li Ke took a step back the moment he turned around.

Taking a step back to open the distance, both Pietrus and Xiao Heidou made the most cautious choice and continued to press forward.

But Li Ke took advantage of the gap between the two of them moving, and suddenly had a seizure.

"Sheldon, take a step back... oh no, it's just a feint!"

"He swooped forward, directly between Michael Pietrus and Aaron Brooks, and squeezed a breaking line!"

The right hand skillfully controls the ball, and the left arm blocks in front of him, blocking the harassment from Pietrus.

As for Little Black Bean, he wanted to steal it, but Li Ke didn't give him a chance to make a move.

Like a hungry tiger coming out of the cage, Li Ke once again broke free from the vulnerable pinch of Pietrus and Little Black Bean.

"Oh my God, Sheldon, he broke the Magic's pinch again!"

Under the basket, Sparks had already put on a posture, but Li Ke avoided him and threw one from a distance.

Swish-!
The goal was scored, and the time warner center cheered all over the sky.

In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith was bragging: "The pinch defense can't restrain Sheldon anymore. At the beginning of the second half, his performance was unbelievable!"

Li Ke knew that it was Michael Pietrus and Xiao Heidou's defense that could not restrain him. If another defender who could withstand him faced him, and a strong No. [-] position was placed on the flank, Li Ke would not be able to break free so easily.

To put it bluntly, Li Ke was able to break free from these two balls because of his huge advantages in strength and speed.

Off the court, Stan Van Gundy is aware of this, but looking at the court and the bench, he can't find a defensive player who can withstand Li Ke head-on, and even a strong second position is hard to find.

Speaking of which, the Magic last season had two types of players.

One is Matt Barnes, who has been released by the Magic and went to the Lakers.

The other is Courtney Lee, who was already in the old Carter deal and went to the Nets.

Without the option of substitutions, Stan Van Gundy could only shout to the field: "Stop him as much as possible, consume him!"

Thus, the game became a war of attrition.

Li Ke is not that stupid, he can only break free from the pinch, one can be two, maybe three, but it is absolutely impossible to fight like this indefinitely, because physical strength is not unlimited.

By breaking free from the pinch defense, the goal of disrupting the Magic's defense has been achieved.

With Stan Van Gundy's order on the sidelines, the Magic's defense was completely confused.

Next, Li Ke's impenetrable pass easily penetrated the Magic's defense.

"When the Magic can't defend Sheldon alone, they can still use the strong side to stop Li Ke, but when the Magic have to invest more power than the two to defend Sheldon, their defensive system collapsed."

"The situation of the game has been reversed at this moment!"

At the beginning of the third quarter, Li Ke's outburst helped the Bobcats quickly widen the gap in the score.

At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats have led by 14 points.

In the fourth quarter, both offense and defense relied on Sparks' magic, and the disadvantage became even greater.

So, in a bitter battle, the Bobcats defeated the Magic at home and rejected the opponent's pass kill...
