Chapter 121 Iron King's First and Second Battles
On November 11, the Bobcats lost to the Celtics at home, a four-game losing streak.
Regardless of the game against the Rockets, this game is the first time that Li Ke has fired without any scruples.
There was no suspense about the outcome of the game as early as the moment the schedule was determined. The Celtics of the Big Three could not give the Bobcats any chance at all.
This season, the Celtics are aiming for the championship. Naturally, they swept everything in the regular season.
Faced with Ray Allen and Tony Allen's siege, Li Ke took 23 shots and only hit 7 goals, with a 30.4% hit rate...
Li Tiewang's first game came to an end.
On November 11th, another back-to-back game against the Pistons.
Philip Sanders respected Li Ke very much, and he directly asked Tayshaun Prince to misplace Li Ke.
But in this game, Li Ke played well. He made 25 of 12 shots and scored 30 points. He almost led the Bobcats to win.
At the last moment, Li Ke and Richard Hamilton faced each other for a three-pointer. Chauncey Billups stepped in and scored a quasi-lore three-pointer, leaving the victory at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
The five-game losing streak came as expected, and the morale of the entire Bobcats sank to the bottom.
For a team that was just established in 04 and has been in the army for less than four years, it is inevitable to sink in three or two seasons.
But for the Bobcats, such a poor record is somewhat unacceptable.
"Five consecutive losses, Michael, the attendance at home has dropped again..."
"That's right, the Chinese rookie you picked brought in two or three extra sponsorship incomes, but what's the use? The team's ticket income still can't increase, and that's the real income..."
"Just wait, Michael, I'll let people from the accounting firm come in and do the calculations. If the Bobcats still can't make a profit this year..."
"Either, let me take back your basketball business management rights, or I will withdraw the shares directly."
In the apartment, Boss Joe hung up the phone.
Robert Johnson's warning made him frown, the right to manage basketball affairs?That thing is the lifeblood of Boss Qiao, and he will never give it away.
As for withdrawals...
Boss Joe touched his chin. He can buy all the shares of Robert Johnson. He doesn't have such a large cash flow, but he can take out a loan.
Then there's no problem, Boss Qiao showed a relaxed smile after making up his mind.
But then, thinking of the team's suddenly terrible record, Boss Joe's expression became a little gloomy again.
He raised his hand and glanced at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
"Sheldon's evening practice should have started."
He got up, walked out of the apartment step by step, and then appeared in the training hall on the third floor.
These days, Li Ke has been training hard. The breakfast club has not stopped, and the extra training in the evening has not stopped. Boss Qiao has also come several times, but he has never stopped.
On the day after the five-game losing streak, Boss Qiao came again, and Li Ke was used to it.
He continued to train according to his own steps——
During this period of time, Li Ke's extra training focused on turning back and running, back running, and breakthroughs. These are things that can improve himself in the short term.
"Hurry up and hurry up, Sheldon!"
Amidst Tim Graver's shouts, Li Ke's ongoing training is to run back and forth.
Speed, explosiveness, he has no problems, only flexibility, he still has room for improvement.
After rushing for a while, Boss Qiao didn't leave. Li Ke was surprised and cast a surprised look.
"Is the next item back training?"
Boss Qiao not only didn't leave, but also asked a question with concern, which was even more strange. Li Ke started to associate...
Tim Graver beside him simply replied: "Yes!"
"Then let's start..."
After saying this, Jordan stood on the sidelines with his arms folded.
Didn't mean to join?
Li Ke scratched his head. He thought that Boss Joe had stayed until now to join him and Tim Graver in a threesome!
Shaking his head, Li Ke started his back training under the confrontation of Tim Graver.
"No, Sheldon, be decisive when you turn around. Whether it's a fake move or a real move, you must be decisive. Don't be timid..."
"His strength is weak to Sheldon. At this time, just give a jump shot and it's over. Don't hesitate!"
"No, Sheldon, you should break through decisively at this time, even if your breakthrough is bad..."
"..."
Old Qiao's voice came one after another, as if he couldn't stop at all.
Li Ke threw a huge "?": Old Qiao, old Qiao, it's fine if you don't join, why are you acting as a spectator beeping machine?
However, he had to admit that every beep of old Joe pointed out his mistake with great accuracy, and it had a huge effect.
Although he didn't really join, it was equivalent to joining. Li Ke was the master, Tim Graver was more like a sparring partner, and Old Joe was the real trainer.
After practicing for almost half an hour, Tim Graver said, "Take a break, Sheldon."
Li Ke nodded, walked to the sidelines, and sat down on the floor.
Boss Qiao also leaned over and whispered, "Let's talk?"
"Okay." Li Ke nodded without refusing.
"The team has lost five games in a row, how do you feel?"
"feeling bad."
"It's okay to be uncomfortable. When I was a rookie, my team also lost a lot of games. I remember it was 38 wins and 44 losses. That season was really long. The winning percentage was less than [-]% from the beginning to the end. I thought that we would not make it to the playoffs, but in the end, we still made it..."
"At that time, I knew that the regular season is long, and the first thing you need to do is to be patient."
Old Qiao delivered a speech from a senior.
Li Ke nodded, wanting to say that he couldn't empathize with Old Qiao.
Think about it carefully, what kind of performance was Joe in his rookie season, averaging 28.2 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game, which is unique in NBA history.
Even Lebon can only touch the record of averaging 20+5+5 per game in a rookie season. If you really want to dig deeper, Lebon's data is a younger brother, let alone the record.
Now Li Ke is even more of a younger brother...
But one thing, Old Joe is right, patience is very important.
Li Ke wanted to tell Old Qiao that he was really patient and it was hard to lose, but it would be much more interesting if he lost with unlimited firepower.
After chatting for a while, Li Ke continued his breakthrough training.
Old Joe still didn't leave, and continued to stay on the sidelines, giving guidance off the court.
The extra training in the evening lasted until 10 o'clock. Li Ke, who was soaked in sweat over and over again, said goodbye and left first.
In the training hall, Tim Graver glanced at Boss Joe: "Psychological counseling?"
"Yes, the feeling of losing consecutive games is not good. In the Bulls, I didn't feel this feeling very much. I haven't felt much, but in Washington..."
Let's not talk about Old Joe, the two seasons when the Wizards came back were really failures.
Speaking of which, in Jordan's 15 NBA seasons, there were only three seasons with a winning percentage of less than [-]%, the first and third seasons of the Bulls, and the last season of the Wizards.
As for the Bulls' second season, although their record was only 30 wins and 52 losses, in the 18 games Jordan played, the Bulls' record was 9 wins and 9 losses.
Afterwards, he withdrew from the rest of the regular season due to a fractured left foot, and then came back in the playoffs. Facing the Celtics, he asked God to get up. At this time, he scored 63 points, which is still the record for a single game in the playoffs.
Including the Wizards' penultimate season, the Wizards' record is 60 wins and 30 losses in 30 games after Jordan's comeback.
Except for those two seasons with the Wizards, Jordan never missed the playoffs.
Looking at the current Bobcats, the season has just started, and their record is already 4 wins and 9 losses, and the follow-up may be even worse.
To be honest, after Robert Johnson's call came, he lost patience with some players in the Bobcats, such as Emeka Okafor, this guy was not chosen by Jordan, and Jordan said he would not take the blame.
"As for Sheldon, are you really going to give him unlimited fire rights for a season and let him play like this?"
Tim Graver is an old-school trainer. He always feels that it is not a good thing for rookies to get too much possession.
"There's nothing you can do, Tim. If the Bobcats want to win and get the fans back into the arena, they have to let Sheldon shoot..."
Speaking of this, Jordan thought of the next game.
"The next game against the Nuggets will be another difficult game. I'm afraid the six-game losing streak is unavoidable..."
Many people think that the Nuggets are not strong because the Nuggets are in the West. If the Nuggets are placed in the East, they will be the top four teams in the East.
Facing the combination of Carmelo Anthony and Allen Iverson, this game is really difficult to play. The probability of losing is greater than the probability of winning, not to mention that the Bobcats are still playing away.
Boss Joe felt that the six-game losing streak had already been booked, but 3 wins and 10 losses were not, but 4 wins and 10 losses came quickly.
With a snap, Old Qiao slapped himself.
"This crow's mouth, bah!"
……
On November 11, the Bobcats flew to the Denver Plateau after a two-day rest.
In the visiting team's locker room at the Pepsi Center, Li Ke put a knee pad on his left leg.
This game will be a fierce battle. Look at the main players of the Nuggets, Kenyon Martin, Marcus Camby, Melon, JR Smith and Iverson. None of them are good. He must do his due protection.
Reporters were not allowed in the locker room before the game, but on the plane from Charlotte to Denver, Li Ke chatted with Shen Liren, who had turned into a team reporter, and got a few screenshots from Sina.com.
"Sina.com": There are still bright spots in the state. Li Ke locked Ray Allen to prove that he is also a giant!
"Sina.com": Li Ke slammed for 30 points, but was held back by his teammates.
……
To be honest, Li Ke is now a little fond of Prime Minister Guda's reporting style. I have to say, it is very black, at least for the first report, the comments below are mostly question marks and abuse.
What kind of giant is he worthy of? The 30% hit rate is still bright.
Look at the Lianmei next door——
"Sina.com": Liandi just smiled when he added 8 rebounds with one hand.
"Sina.com": The team's highest score plus the lock-up of Brand, Space Yi Mighty bid farewell to drive high and drive low!
"Sina.com": The former hot pot king can hardly stop the tough Ah Lian, enjoying double-team treatment in 4 minutes and 8 minutes.
……
Don't say it, it's really Coke.
Li Ke thought, what kind of headline should Prime Minister Guda write to brag about it when he finishes playing this game?
The boring losing streak finally had some fun.
In the locker room, Sam Vincent opened the door and came in, said a few words about tactics, and then greeted the players to come out.
"Here we go!" (Let's go!)
At the beginning of the season with 3 wins and 1 loss, the NBA's rookie coach was still ambitious, but now, the former ambition is just like Sam Vincent just shouted, "black feed the dog".
The Pepsi Center, which can accommodate 19099 people, is almost full of fans. Li Ke, who was standing on the sidelines to warm up, couldn't help but compare the attendance rate of the Time Warner Center. It is also a small ball market. The gap is too big!
It has to be said that the two plateaus in the NBA, the Denver Plateau and the Utah Plateau, are both well-known home courts for the devil. From the time the Nuggets entered the field, there were thunderous cheers, all kinds of screams and shouts...
Like a frog in a well who has never seen the world, Li Ke opened his mouth wide: Wow, Awesome!
Then, he heard someone calling his name behind him.
"Hey, Sheldon!"
Turning around, I realized that it was Lao Ai.
"Hi, Allen, I'm your fan."
But Lao Ai rolled his eyes: "Don't do this!"
"Really, Allen, I grew up watching your ball."
Li Ke forced an explanation.
Lao Ai rolled his eyes even deeper: "Are you trying to say that I am old?"
"Do not……"
"Stop talking nonsense, and remember to match up with me later."
Well, Lao Ai's purpose is very clear, he just wants to ask Li Ke, who will he face up against in this game, is it Melon, or is he Lao Ai?
Sam Vincent's arrangement is, Melon.
Therefore, Li Ke opened his mouth: "Sorry, Allen, my opponent in this game is Melo."
"Then you are finished, the victory of this game, my AI wants..."
Melon stood far away, his eyes kept looking this way, but he didn't come over. He kept a distance from Lao Ai.
It seems that the relationship between the golden guns is indeed very ordinary.
Although the outside world said that Melon regards Lao Ai as his brother and teacher, but the conflict of ball rights, so what if you are the father?
He didn't think too much about the cruel words that Iverson put down, isn't it the victory of the game, although I want it very much, but is that what I want and you can give it?
Li Ke shook his head secretly. For the current Bobcats, winning is already an extravagant hope, especially when facing an opponent like the Nuggets.
Of course, it's not that they don't have the courage to scuttle the giant ship. Li Ke must have courage, but at least, let the game start first, and play to see how the game is going.
After all, the opportunity to scuttle a huge ship is not always available.
Beep!
The referee blew his whistle, the main players on both sides came on the field, and Okafor faced Camby.
"It's the jump ball. Camby won. Let's see who Li Ke's opponent is on the defensive end today."
"It's Anthony, he stood directly in front of Anthony..."
