Chapter 347 30 consecutive victories
The victory in the Spring Festival War brought the Bobcats their 30th consecutive victory of the season. Li Ke returned after being suspended, and the Bobcats still maintained a complete victory.
But the real test is after the Spring Festival war.
In the capital, after Li Ke signed all the procedures to take over the Suzhou men's basketball team, he hesitated for a while, but he still didn't use the name of Lake Sports.
Instead, he decided to learn from Dayao and use the unisex name Suzhou Dragon as the new team name of the Suzhou Men's Basketball Team.
After winning the Suzhou Dragons, Li Ke's "Men's Basketball Development Plan" can also be carried out as scheduled.
The "Men's Basketball Development Plan" is divided into two parts, the first part is——
Li Ke invested [-] million US dollars to set up a "basketball development fund".
Funds raised will be used to build basketball courts, organize youth amateur basketball events, and support the construction of youth training for domestic CBA, NBL, major sports schools, and provincial youth teams.
The second part is to hold a youth basketball training camp in China every summer.
The idea is actually very simple, Li Ke asked Lu Ning to find a professional team.
A team that conducts basketball training camps in Africa all year round. Thabeet, Embiid, and Pascal Siakam all left the African continent and entered the American basketball world through such a training camp.
You can tell by these names that the results of this training camp are quite remarkable.
Li Ke's idea is to transplant this training camp model to China.
Although the situation in China is very different from that in Africa, what Li Ke wants is the ability of this training camp to discover talents.
There are ways to find talents and send them to the CBA Su Shenglong, through Lu Ning's agent team, to American high schools, college league training, or even European leagues according to the different situations of each talent.
In short, use Li Ke's appeal to set up training camps, discover more talents, and then continue to use Li Ke's contacts to send these talents to the most suitable places for careful training.
Considering that most of the domestic basketball seedlings have entered the youth teams of various provinces, it is impossible for Li Ke to dig.
Therefore, the talents he can discover are all around ten years old.
Such a "development plan" will take at least seven or eight years to see results.
Li Ke, who is only 22 years old this year, can afford to wait, so there is no problem.
……
From the capital to Los Angeles, and from Los Angeles to Charlotte.
After a long journey, the entire Bobcats team was exhausted.
Although there is no match arrangement until February 2, but after careful calculation——
After finishing the game on February 2, I set off from the capital on February 3, and the flight took more than ten hours.
Then depart from Los Angeles and fly to Charlotte, and it will be almost February 2th.
Adjust the time difference on the 5th, take a day off on the 6th, and start the game on the 7th.
To put it simply, the Bobcats are equivalent to playing a super long back-to-back. After the game, the rest time is only one day.
One day's rest time is definitely not enough for the Bobcats to adjust to the best state.
So, on the 7th, the Bobcats ushered in a challenge from the new Cavaliers at home.
The Bobcats' defense is fine, and the Cavaliers' defense looks like a repeat of their first encounter this season.
Wade scored a game-high 28 points, Lebron was defended by Li Ke and only scored 21 points, and the Boss also scored 19 points and 5 rebounds.
If the Bobcats can come up with the usual offensive firepower, this game will be won.
The problem is... no!
从15投3中的库里开始，到17中7的杰克船长，再到14中2的贾米森……
In the end, it was Li Ke who hit 19 of 6 and scored the most irons in the team, but scored the highest 26 points in the Bobcats team by relying on the stunt of swinging his arms and turning around.
The super foursome on the offensive end smashed a total of 47 fine irons in this game. It is difficult not to lose this game.
After losing the game, Rivers was ashamed.
But helpless, what can Rivers do about the bad state brought about by the Spring Festival war?
Big rotation?
But the opponent is the Cavaliers whose status has improved rapidly after the mid-term transaction, and a large rotation will not win this Cavaliers.
At this time, all Rivers can think of is to complain about this damn schedule.
Then, after playing this game, continue to have a vacation.
Because in the next battle, their opponent is the Celtics.
In this battle against the Celtics, Li Ke will never allow a loss, because he has already said that he will not lose a game in the North Shore Garden.
But after a day's away game, the state of the Bobcats still has not returned to the best.
Li Ke could only support it alone in a bitter battle.
At the end of the three quarters, the Bobcats failed to get any advantage from the Celtics.
With a score of 66 to 67, the Bobcats were even 1 point behind.
Under this situation, Li Ke in the last quarter began to run away.
Mike Brown actually thought that Li Ke might go berserk, so he asked Lagabel to keep marking Li Ke, supplemented by KG's help defense.
But the Celtics are too old. In the fourth quarter, when Li Ke stepped up a little bit, Lagabel couldn't hold Li Ke back.
KG's supplementary defense is even weaker, and Li Ke can clean up the old and injured KG with a quick acceleration.
After a wave of two consecutive bursts in the opening game, after Li Ke scored 4 points in a row, he felt warm in his hand by the way.
Then there are all kinds of unsolvable mid-range shots, interspersed with one or two three-pointers.
The runaway Li Ke scored 19 points in the final quarter. The Celtics' old arms and legs couldn't stop Li Ke at all.
Relying on Li Ke's own strength, Shan Mao won the game with difficulty.
At least, it stopped the losing streak.
For Li Ke, his invincibility in North Shore Garden has also continued through his own efforts.
……
On the 11th, the Bobcats returned to their home court and finally recovered their form, but in this game, they ran into the poor Heat.
This is very boring. For the Heat, the Bobcats don't need to do their best.
Rivers even made a big rotation. Li Ke, who was physically exhausted in the last battle, only played half of the game.
Faced with a Heat that did not get the Big Three like in history, and lost Wade and Beasley by the way, and only relied on Raymond Felton to dominate the world, the Bobcats with a large rotation easily won.
On the 12th, they faced the Lone Ranger back-to-back at home.
Nuo Tianwang ran away, and Barea, Kidd, and Terry also played at a higher level than usual.
Without the shackles of the winning streak, the Bobcats lost to the Lone Ranger at home, ending the winning streak that had just started.
This loss is also the Bobcats' eighth loss this season and the second since Li Ke's comeback.
The All-Star weekend has not yet arrived, and they have lost eight games, and their record of 72 wins is getting farther and farther away from the Bobcats.
On the 14th and 15th, there was another wave of back-to-back home matches.
A Spurs, or Li Ke's outbreak, helped the Bobcats win the opponent.
In another Lakers game, after Rivers made a big rotation, the Bobcats still defeated their opponents and completed a season double play against the Lakers.
This double play against the Lakers also reflects from the side that the possibility of the Lakers defending the title this season is very small.
After the game, in Mei Yangyang's program, Bill Simmons' analysis was right on point——
"Three finals and two championships, the Lakers rely on the peak Kobe and Pau Gasol who is perfectly integrated into the triangle offense."
"But this season, Kobe is no longer at his peak, and various high-level statistics can show this."
"Compared with the Spurs, Mavericks, Thunder, Bobcats, Cavaliers and other opponents who have been improving, the Lakers' bench and role players have not improved."
To put it simply, the opponents are improving, and the Lakers themselves are regressing.
Although the regular season is not over yet, the Lakers' lag is already obvious.
"Time is running out for the Lakers and Mitch Kupchak to come back."
Next is the All-Star Weekend, and after the All-Star Weekend is the trade deadline.
The Lakers still have the opportunity to use the trade deadline to complete the comeback. Correspondingly, other teams also have the opportunity to use the trade deadline to further enhance their strength.
This trade deadline, the Bobcats will not make any moves.
They are fully staffed this season, and there are too many players available.
At the point guard position, Curry and Mo are in the regular rotation, and Livingston occasionally makes a contribution.
At the shooting guard position, Li Ke and Wesley Matthews are regular rotations.
The junior junior who was the third substitute was punished miserably by Li Ke. He was the one who carried his bags when he set out for the away game, and his junior would buy whatever Li Ke wanted to eat.
It seems that the younger brother is going to be Li Ke's younger brother for a season.
Even so, the juniors get the most opportunities for the Bobcats' third substitutes at all positions.
After he played, he performed very well. Because of his unique function, he was even indispensable in the Bobcats at certain moments.
At the small forward position, Captain Jack is the starter, and Li Ke occasionally shakes over. Lao Du is the third substitute in this position. He also plays time, but not much.
At the power forward position, Jamison is the starter, and PJ Tucker is the substitute.
As for Tajibson, this season, he was more often moved to the fifth position to play as a guest center.
Then it comes to the center position. Jordan will start, Kua No. [-] and Tajibson will be on the bench. It all depends on the opponent.
If the opponent has a big center, he will be the No. [-] pick, and if the opponent is weak inside, he will go to Tajibson.
Except for the 14 players in China's No. [-], only the bankrupt version of Hua's No. [-] Lance Thomas sat on the bench and basically didn't get playing time.
After the All-Star break, China's No. [-] will come back, and by then, the Bobcats will have even more players available.
If you have to compare teams with good bench depth in the league, the Bobcats are definitely the team with the deepest bench depth, so you don't need to add one.
……
This year's All-Star Weekend, the voting process is still the same as last season, and Li Ke is a well-deserved vote king.
The ranking on the east side remained roughly the same. On the west side, Xiao Du rushed up and rushed behind Kobe.
It also proves that David Stern's promotion in the past two seasons has been very successful.
The votes determine the starters of the East and West, roughly as follows——
East: Li Ke and Rose form the backcourt, Lebron and Stoudemire form the front line, and the center is the spark.
West: Kobe and Pao formed the backcourt, Xiaodu and Guagua formed the front line, and the center was An Zhu.
That's right, Anzhu has become the All-Star starting center in the West, and the Americans are still very optimistic about this new-generation center with ample size.
Li Ke didn't care about this. He knew that An Zhu's brain was not very good, and he could even make a certain prediction: An Zhu's NBA career would have less than two years left.
As for this year's All-Star Weekend, if there is no accident, Anzhu probably won't play either.
Injury is one aspect, and Li Ke's existence is another aspect.
In terms of the All-Star bench, the league also took care of the Bobcats. So far this season, Curry, who has 21.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.7 steals, was selected for the All-Star bench.
Speaking of which, Curry in this time and space has become the younger brother behind Li Ke, and his playing is obviously much more efficient.
In terms of point guard position alone, Curry's performance this season can even be regarded as one of the top five point guards in the league.
There are only a few people who can be ranked in front of him stably, such as Rose, Paul, Rondo, and Deron.
Serious calculations, comprehensive record, personal data and other factors, whether Rondo and Deron can be ranked ahead of Curry, we have to say.
A Curry who has grown so fast also gave Li Ke the hope of winning the championship this season.
I just don't know, after the second-year season, will Curry's wave of injuries be eliminated because of Li Ke's existence...
In addition to the race, the Bobcats also involved in --
In the rookie game, sophomores Wesley Matthews and Tajibson continued to participate. The younger brother failed to enter because of insufficient playing time and games. The second-year Curry also gave up the rookie game because he participated in the All-Star Game.
However, in miscellaneous competitions, Curry still participated in the three-point contest and skill competition.
Other than that, the Bobcats have nothing to do with other games.
Of course, the question of why Li Ke didn't participate in the dunk contest was brought up again.
This time, Li Ke was not used to it. He used David Falk to express it very cryptically:
"The league has made it clear this year that it wants to support Blake Griffin. There is no need to compete for the slam dunk champion. It can only be Griffin. Then why should I participate in the slam dunk contest? Isn't that making myself unhappy?"
The league's praise of Griffin this year is indeed disgusting to Li Ke.
To be honest, Li Ke didn't know why David Stern wanted to praise Griffin, whose rookie season was absent for a whole year due to injury, and his stats were gorgeous but the team's record was a mess.
To say that back then, he and Xiao Du didn't get this kind of treatment, neither did Rose in 08, nor did Harden, Curry, and Serena Williams in 09.
Instead, Griffin got the treatment.
I have to say, it's confusing.
To what extent does the league support Griffin?
The slam dunk contest has not yet been compared, just in case, the league changed the method of determining the slam dunk champion from the judges' scoring to the fans' voting.
In the All-Star Game, every spot in the West is highly competitive, but Griffin, who has a poor record, got one.
In Li Ke's view, the degree of such admiration is: David Stern is getting old, and his mind is beginning to become confused.
The complaints are the complaints, and now Griffin and Li Ke don't have any conflicts of interest, and everything stops here.
As for this year's All-Star Weekend, Li Ke really has some ideas.
The regular season MVP is gone, and so is Dpoy.
As long as it is an award in the regular season, Li Ke has no share in it.
The only thing he can compete for is the individual awards in the All-Star game.
Fortunately, this year, Rivers is the head coach of the Eastern All-Stars, plus Curry, Rose who killed Wade and became the starter, and Stoudemire and Sparks who have no conflict with Li Ke.
This year, Li Ke's chance is really the greatest.
He decided to go for a wave of All-Star MVP.
