Chapter 374 MVP+Dpoy
The addition of Diaw has indeed solved the Bobcats' offensive problems to a certain extent.
Now, they have two top arc organizers with a fairly good level, one junior and one Dior.
The arc top support and air cuts on both sides can be played from the beginning to the end of the game.
And Captain Jack, who has fallen a lot but can still contribute more than ten points per game given enough opportunities and time, has also come alive after Dior joined.
Li Ke, who was finally able to receive a comfortable pass, also played more easily.
It seems that Lynx just introduced a Dior, but in fact it revitalized a bunch of people.
During the running-in at the end of March, Dior seemed to be seamlessly connected.
对76人9分5个篮板6个助攻，对全民皆兵的掘金投进去3记三分，外加4个助攻。
By early April, the Bobcats had a game against the Thunder, a home game.
Rivers still implements the general policy of rotation, but in this game, the Bobcats just happened to rotate to a stage where the main players outnumbered the substitutes.
Curry started against Rondo, Tony Allen started against Li Ke, but Li Ke didn't match up with Xiao Du like in the past.
Because of this game Dior also entered the starting list, he is the Bobcats starting power forward.
It can be seen that Dior is different from Captain Jack and even his younger brother. His body and weight are enough for him to be in the fourth position, and he can start against most of the fourth positions without losing the wind.
Coupled with a long-range shot, Dior, who is at the top of the fourth position, has the greatest improvement on the Bobcats.
This game is just an attempt by Rivers, because Dior knocked out Tucker, Li Ke can no longer defend Xiaodu alone, he has a more important task of assisting defense.
Before the game, Rivers also kept emphasizing: "At the offensive end, move more and pass the ball to Sheldon more!"
"Defensively, keep an eye on your own people, and leave the rest to Sheldon!"
Li Ke was very satisfied with Lao Li's emphasis.
Rivers is also quite helpless, he doesn't want to overuse Li Ke, but now the Bobcats have to overuse Li Ke.
The game started quickly, Da Luo unexpectedly defeated Jordan and won the opening ball for the Thunder.
The Thunder's ball is still in Rondo's hands. This point, unless Rondo is sent away, there will be no change.
Because Rondo wants to play a role, he must have the ball in his hands.
Looking at Rondo and Tony Allen on the outside of the Thunder, Li Ke knew that this pair of guards would be a hidden danger for the Thunder.
In the original time and space, the Thunder reached the finals this season.
But because of these not-so-subtle changes, the Thunder may not be able to beat the Spurs this season.
After all, the Spurs are notoriously sophisticated.
At the beginning, the Bobcats marked Rondo and Teacher Tony to death. They used Curry to mark Rondo and Li Ke to mark Teacher Tony.
Curry faced Rondo, and the defensive weakness was reduced many times.
Facing Teacher Tony, Li Ke simply took a big step forward.
Then, Rondo picked up speed and used Daluo's pick-and-roll to make a breakthrough, but the Bobcats switched defenses, and still kept a good eye on Rondo who broke through and killed him in the middle distance.
Even Dior, a flexible and fat man, still stuck Rondo in the mid-range position, forcing Rondo to make a dilemma between mid-range shooting and passing.
"Raja Rondo, he can only pass the ball!"
With a quick back pass, Rondo passed the ball back to Daluo in the high position.
Li Ke was keenly aware that Aoku would definitely not be able to block the ball, so he jumped over directly.
"Brook Lopez catches the ball and Sheldon goes straight to it!"
The timely defense was not enough. Li Ke cooperated with Curry to pinch Daluo to death, and Daluo could only pass the ball.
As the hope of the new generation of centers in the United States, Daluo's support is still a little bit.
But at this time, his intention to pass the ball was too obvious, and Li Ke saw it right away!
Snapped!
Da Luo passed the ball, Li Ke quickly intercepted it, turned around and counterattacked, everything was only in the blink of an eye.
"Steal, counterattack, Sheldon's defense is too critical!"
In the commentary seat, when Kenny Smith shouted excitedly, Li Ke had already rushed to the frontcourt and completed a one-stop layup.
This driver, he dunks less and less.
On the one hand, some balls do not need to be dunked. A light layup saves time and effort.
On the other hand, if you dunk a lot, you may not attract fans, but you will be forced to ask: Why don't you participate in the dunk contest?
Coupled with the fact that he is getting older and is 23 years old, Li Ke is not so young and energetic anymore.
The opening attack was defeated by Li Ke's help, and the Thunder reorganized the attack.
In the commentary seat, Kenny Smith and Barkley never stopped praising Li Ke.
"Selton's defense is getting better and better. This season, his average steals are as high as 2.8 times. In the past half month, his average blocks per game are as high as 1.5. There are 3 blocks in two games on average!"
"Of course, data is only one aspect. If you watch the game, you will find that Sheldon's defense is better, and it is more critical for the Bobcats!"
On the court, the Thunder who reorganized their offense demonstrated how critical Li Ke's defense is.
It was still the pick-and-roll cooperation between Rondo and Daluo in the middle, and the Bobcats easily resolved this wave of pick-and-roll attacks by switching defenses.
This time Rondo did not pass back, but directly found Xiao Du in one step.
In the high position on the right side, Xiao Du received the ball one-on-one with Wesley Matthews. After seeing the two crotches, he was about to pull up.
Li Ke suddenly appeared, and a higher-quality interference than Matthews' interference hit Xiao Du's face.
Clang!
"Sheldon is so active, defensively he's everywhere!"
Li Kefang was very excited, and there was indeed a feeling of being everywhere.
The main reason is that the Thunder's guard combination has no long-range shots at all, which is really a bit of a gift.
Li Ke, who was marking Mr. Tony, was very relaxed. On the offensive end, he was also very uncomfortable being marked by Mr. Tony. He simply put all his energy on the defensive end.
Then, there is the role of Dior.
Li Ke cut in without the ball, received a pass from Dior, and made a comfortable pull-up jump shot.
Swish-!
No matter how impenetrable Mr. Tony's defense is, he can't prevent such a shot.
However, the game still looked like a defensive battle. After the first quarter, the Bobcats took a 26-20 lead by 6 points.
Neither team scored high, at least in an era where small ball has begun to sweep the league.
But the main reason is that the Thunder played too defensively.
After a wave of substitutions in the second quarter of the game, the Thunder replaced Mike Miller and rookie point guard Reggie Jackson, with Du, Thabo Sefoloza, and former Bobcats player Nazr Mohamed.
After this wave of substitutions, the Thunder switched to offensive mode.
Li Ke, who played consecutively, was not so active and excited in defense.
On the contrary, on the offensive end, he started to exert his strength. After a wave of confrontation with Xiao Du——
At halftime, the Bobcats led the Thunder by 57 to 50 by 7 points.
In this half of the game, the Bobcats did their best, but there were still not many leaders.
The main reason is that Xiao Du's personal ability is too strong, and he can make all kinds of progress against the defense.
If it weren't for the fact that the Thunder's scoring points have been scattered this season, Xiao Du may still have a chance to defend his scoring title this season.
In terms of scoring, Xiao Du is indeed historic.
Although there are not many leads, the Bobcats are not in a hurry.
During the intermission, Rivers did not make any adjustments.
In the second half, the Bobcats continued to stick to the strategy of the first half:
On the offensive end, they rely on top-of-the-arc support, side wing cuts, and some easy balls. On the defensive end, they rely on Li Ke's help to defend, constantly disrupting the Thunder's rhythm.
The Thunder, who switched back to the defensive lineup, began to torture their opponents and themselves again.
After another defensive battle, the Bobcats' lead gradually eroded to double digits.
In the decisive battle in the last quarter, Xiao Du started to go wild, and Li Ke followed closely behind.
But what finally decided the outcome of the game was Li Ke's defense against Xiao Du in the last stage of the final quarter.
The final score of 109 to 97, the Bobcats left the victory of the game.
"It's still a bit difficult. This shows that the strength of the Thunder should not be underestimated. It may be the Thunder that broke out of the West this season."
After the game, Rivers was emotional.
Hearing this emotion, Li Ke gave a thumbs up.
Rivers' vision is still very vicious. The regular season is coming to an end, and the two leading teams in the West are the Thunder and the Spurs.
For the rest, the Lone Ranger and the Lakers have fallen a bit, the Jazz and the Suns have disappeared directly, and the newly rising Grizzlies and Clippers are still missing a top star from rushing out of the West.
On the contrary, this year's East is very intense.
Before the half-time, the Bobcats' dominance was not enough. After the half-time, relying on the greatly improved defense, the Bobcats regained the dominance of last season.
In addition, the Cavaliers, who seem to have found the root cause of last season's fiasco, and the Bulls, who continue to be strong relying on defense.
The eastern part is like a situation where the three powers are fighting for hegemony, and they are not giving in to each other.
After winning the Thunder, the Bobcats went to Oklahoma City again, and lost a game to the Thunder with a large rotation.
Losing this match, Li Ke vs. Biao Xiaodu, ultimately lost on the whole.
If there is no rotation...
Some media have made assumptions, that is, if there is no rotation, is it possible for the Bobcats this season to create the record for the least loss in NBA history.
But Rivers stood up and said: "Shortened season, rotation is necessary!"
In the entire league, except for Rivers, Popovich also holds this view.
The regular season is a ranking, and what really matters is the playoffs. For the health of the playoffs, the regular season must be rotated.
The Bobcats and the Spurs are the two teams with the most rotations in the league.
……
In the final stage of the season, in addition to a loss to the Thunder, the Bobcats lost a game to the Grizzlies, and a blowout to the Clippers.
In the game against the Grizzlies, they haven't rotated much yet, and they still lost in the end.
The main thing is: the Grizzlies' inside twin towers are too hard, even the Bobcats can't resist.
"The Grizzlies in the West are still a hard stubble. No matter who faces the Grizzlies in the playoffs, I'm afraid they will lose a layer of skin."
The Clippers were able to defeat the Bobcats because of the outburst of Yang Shaoxia, who was transferred from the Wizards.
In this game, Yang Shaoxia scored 5 three-pointers before Li Ke switched defenses. After Li Ke switched defenses, he scored 4 more three-pointers.
A total of 9 three-pointers were scored in the game, and Yang Shaoxia blasted 33 points, leading the Clippers to an upset victory over the Bobcats.
……
The 66 games of the shortened season were played in nearly four tense months.
A very time-consuming All-Star Weekend was also interspersed in the middle, which can be seen from the tight schedule.
The Bobcats lost 7 games in a month when they failed to find the answer to the version at the beginning of the season.
In the next three months of competition, they only lost 6 games in total.
In the end, with a record of 53 wins and 13 losses, the Bobcats once again ended the regular season journey of this shrinking season with the first record in the league and the first in the East.
As soon as the regular season ended, Li Ke was sure to have won two personal honors.
Full attendance in 66 games, averaging 30.6 points per game in the season, 28 points higher than the second runner-up, Du Xiaodu, who averaged 2.6 points per game, and won the season's scoring leader.
He averaged 2.8 steals per game, 2.5 steals more than the second Chris Cannon, who averaged 0.3 steals per game, and won the steals king this season.
In addition to averaging 6.9 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.0 blocks per game, Li Ke this season is at the MVP level in terms of statistics and record.
"There is no suspense anymore, Sheldon, you are the MVP of this season!"
David Falk is sure that this season's regular season MVP is none other than Li Ke.
“看看你的对手，27.1分7.9个篮板6.2个助攻1.9个抢断0.8个盖帽的勒布朗·詹姆斯虽然比你略微全能那么一点点，但他的得分和战绩都比不了你。”
"Not to mention KD, who averaged 28 points, 8.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game. Except for rebounds and blocks, he is basically surrounded by you, including record."
"The only record that can compete with yours is the 50-win Spurs, but obviously, they don't have outstanding individuals."
"There are still 50-win Bulls, but Derrick Rose was last year's MVP, and his data performance is impossible to win consecutively."
Historically, this season's MVP belongs to LeBron.
Why did Mr. Si award this MVP to Le Bon, whom he no longer likes?Isn't it because he had no choice but Le Bang in his previous life?
But in this life, he still has the choice of Li Ke.
"The MVP, which was a year late, finally came. Not only that, you are also very close to Dpoy."
It's still a simple analysis. From the perspective of personal data, Li Ke is the league's steal leader, averaging 6.9 rebounds per game, which is not low, and 1.0 blocks are not slowing down.
The team's defensive data is not that strong, but as Kenny Smith and Barkley said, anyone who has watched the game should understand the importance of Li Ke's defense to the Bobcats.
The only one who can defeat Li Ke without any suspense on the data side of the team is the Bulls who still insist on defense in the small ball era.
But the thing is, last year Joakim Noah already lifted the Dpoy trophy.
His dominance is far less powerful than Peak Spark, and even Zhuang is unlikely.
Looking at Dpoy this season in history, Tyson Chandler, who moved to the Knicks, took away the trophy.
But this trophy is more like making up for last year's one.
With Li Ke here, the league has no reason to make up for last year.
"MVP+Dpoy, the possibility is very high!"
