Chapter 346
"It's still Durant's singles, this time Li Ke went straight up!"
In the commentary seat, Yu Jia and Director Zhang were a little excited and a little excited.
On the sidelines, the fans at Wukesong also screamed.
Doc Rivers shook his head. It was not his arrangement for Li Ke to switch defense against Xiao Du, but he did not stop the switch on the court either.
Because he knew that with 22 points in the half and the 25-pointers in this quarter, Xiao Du, who had already scored [-] points, really needed someone to stop him.
And the only one who can do this is Li Ke.
In the center of the court, Xiao Du bent over, dribbled the ball under his crotch, and then suddenly picked up speed.
Beside Li Ke, Da Luo blocked him again.
The Bobcats did not directly switch defenses in accordance with Rivers' request, but continued to implement the defense of delaying the return.
Li Ke quickly evaded the screen, but Xiao Du directly shot against Jamison's defense.
Swish-!
"The ball was still a screen. Durant avoided Li Ke and made consecutive hits!"
This ball is a reflection of Xiao Du's personal ability. Jamison's delay defense is no problem, but Xiao Du can score.
On the field, Jamison raised his hand, meaning that this wave of defense was his mistake.
Li Ke patted him on the back: "It's okay, just hit back on the offensive end."
The turning attack was still supported by Captain Jack's arc top.
Li Ke cut out to catch the ball, and Gerald Henderson followed up in time.
This wave, Xiao Du is not very authentic.
"The Lynx's offense, Li Ke's singles, it's not Durant who defends one-on-one..."
If it wasn't Xiao Du who came to defend, this wave of offense would be meaningless. Li Ke simply solved the opponent in front of him.
A breakthrough of catching the ball without stopping the ball, after an emergency stop in the middle distance, he jumped up and threw the ball out.
Swish-!
"Li Ke quickly returned one, hit a 2-pointer from mid-range, and the score was tied again!"
In the Thunder's round, Xiao Du urgently needed to hold the ball at the top of the arc.
Li Ke stretched his arms, and he felt the approach of Da Luo behind him.
"Kevin, if you're a man, put Brook back in his place."
"Back to his own position? The top of the arc is Brook's position."
Xiao Du responded quickly, and next to Da Luo, he hit another pick-and-roll.
After blocking and dismantling, Jamison pressed too hard, and Xiao Du shook his hand...
beep!
The whistle was well timed and the outcome was predictable, with Dan Crawford giving Jamison a thug foul and Doo going to the free throw line.
Li Ke's eyes widened at the side, because he had just seen Xiao Du's lifelong stunt--swinging arms.
The Thunder Three Young Masters in the previous life, to be precise, should be called Thunder Three Whistleblowers, and all of them were highly praised by the Alliance.
Starting with Du Shao, he swung his arms and swept the league in a giant circle.
Then came the whistle, Harden's cylinder should be the thickest in the league.
Finally, Wei Shao, after Du Shao embarked on the most difficult road, Wei Shao became the man with the most whistles in the league.
In today's time and space, the three whistles have been scattered among the three teams, but Du Shao still started his era of whistle masters with one move.
At the free throw line, Du Shao made two free throws steadily.
Li Ke clapped his hands, as if applauding.
Xiao Du touched his face as if nothing had happened, then moved back and forth.
In the backcourt, the Bobcats kicked the ball out, and Li Ke decided not to go through the process of Captain Jack's support at the top of the arc.
He directly received the ball from the backcourt, controlled it to the frontcourt, and assumed a singles posture.
The Thunder still played Gerald Henderson and Li Ke one-on-one.
Undoubtedly, this is a disappointing counterpoint.
Li Ke is still simple, breaks through to the near frame area, raises his hand and throws, huh!
"The ball is in!"
"Durant has been scoring, and Li Ke has been scoring. Unknowingly, these two match up!"
The moment the goal was scored, Yu Jia passionately described the situation and situation of each round from the beginning of the third quarter to the present, but Director Zhang had a question mark on his face:
"Are you right? No?"
"Uh, there is no matchup, but so far in the third quarter, only Durant and Li Ke have scored from the two teams. So far, Durant has scored more 7 points, and Li Ke has also scored 6 points!"
Yu Jia quickly explained, and while he was talking, the Thunder started to attack again.
Xiao Du completely ignored Li Ke's provocation, and continued to use Da Luo's pick-and-roll to evade Li Ke's edge.
In the Bobcats' round, it was Gerald Henderson who stood in front of Li Ke.
Never facing each other like this, Li Ke and Xiao Du fought each other for more than ten rounds.
Until Rivers waved his hand and replaced Jamison with Tucker——
"Durant, continue to use the cover to get rid of Li Ke, but within the three-point line, he ran into Tucker!"
Tucker is not used to Xiao Du, he knows that Xiao Du will definitely shoot after Li Ke bypasses the cover.
So he directly bullied him, his thick body suppressed Xiao Du, and his long arms completely blocked Xiao Du's shooting angle.
Bang-dang-!
The moment the iron strike sounded, it was announced that this wave of out-of-place (taste) confrontation had come to an end.
Xiao Du shook his hand, frowned, and quickly retreated.
Turn around, Bobcats attack.
Li Ke cut in and out, flicked away Gerald Henderson, and quickly took the basketball from Captain Jack.
The moment his feet stepped outside the three-point line, he stopped directly.
He jumped up from the spot and raised his hand to score a three-pointer.
No one interfered, and the crisp sound of wiping the net sounded immediately.
Swish-!
"A three-pointer was hit, and the Bobcats overtook the score!"
Wukesong cheered. After the three-pointer, the Bobcats finally took the lead.
What is more important to the two commentators in the Central Five commentary seat is: "Durant has hit the iron, but Li Ke is still scoring!"
"In this wave of misaligned confrontation, Li Ke became the final winner in the end."
The confrontation with Biao did not end immediately, Xiao Du was still trying.
But after Tucker came on the field, the Bobcats no longer needed to delay the defense of returning to the position. Just switching defenses could also prevent Xiao Du from scoring easily.
Li Ke was even more straightforward. Before the new round of defense came, he found Tucker and negotiated a defense change.
Then, he switched behind Da Luo.
Tucker resisted Xiao Du head-on, but Xiao Du completely embarked on the "hardest road". He didn't pass the cover, but directly singled Tucker.
But this Tucker has been with Li Ke for more than two seasons and occasionally participates in the breakfast club.
Regardless of the gap in experience, Tucker is already at the peak of his sports career at this moment.
With the help of Li Ke in the middle, Tucker defended Xiao Du's singles without any pressure.
In this way, Xiao Du, who scored 22 points in the half, raised his personal score to 33 points in the first half of the third quarter.
With Tucker's debut, it became very difficult for him to score. After hitting the iron continuously, he could only start passing the ball.
After accumulating 4 fouls in a single quarter, the Bobcats started a multi-slash offensive.
Rondo's free throws were even worse than Sparks'. He took several off-ball fouls and stepped on the free throw line.
In this way, the score was opened unknowingly.
"Lagalondo, he was fouled again. He missed two free throws at the free throw line. The Bobcats are going to further open the score."
"I didn't expect that this game would end the anxious situation in such a way."
"Lagalondo's free throw led the Bobcats to gain an advantage in the score. Now, this Spring Festival war is going to enter the final decisive battle."
Before the decisive battle in the last quarter, although it was obvious that Rondo's free throw caused the Thunder to fall behind.
Director Zhang still boasted to Li Ke: "Although Rondo's free throw brought the lead, but I have to emphasize that Li Ke's explosion at the beginning of the third quarter is very important."
Yu Jia reacted: "That's right, when the third quarter came up, it was obvious that Durant broke out first, scoring 11 points in a row. If there was no Li Ke's corresponding burst of 13 points in a row, perhaps in that wave, the Thunder would be able to occupy the leading position and further seal the victory."
After such a discussion, Li Ke's confrontation with Xiao Du at the beginning of the third quarter was immediately raised.
The fans who originally regarded that confrontation as a joke, immediately felt the criticality of that wave of confrontation, Li Ke's confrontation with Xiaodu.
At the end of the third quarter, the Bobcats led the Thunder by 89 points 82 to 7, and the victory of the game has not yet been locked.
As soon as the final quarter came up, Xiao Du started his singles again.
The Bobcats have gained experience in defense, and Li Ke and Tucker teamed up to completely lock Xiaodu.
As a result, the sound of banging iron was very dense.
The Bobcats relied on Curry's two waves of violent breakthroughs to the basket...a layup...established a double-digit lead.
In the end, with a score of 116 to 102, they won the fierce Spring Festival war in the first three quarters.
The Chinese fans in Wukesong were excited, and Yu Jia in the commentary even thought: "This is the second highest-quality game since the Spring Festival War started!"
The Spring Festival Wars has been held for three times. The first game played two games at the same time. The second game was a very perfunctory Bobcats vs. Pistons. The third game is this year.
Three games and four games, the game with the highest quality is not this year's game, but the first Bobcats vs. Lakers game.
In that game, Li Ke went straight to overtime against Biao Bryant, and the Bobcats won the game with the explosion of overtime.
If you want to say wonderful, if you want to talk about quality, it has to be that one.
But this game is not much worse. Li Ke played well against Biao Xiaodu, plus Curry, Tucker, Daluo, and Rondo who put aside free throws.
Two youth teams with outstanding performance in the NBA fought a battle in China, showing the future of the NBA fiercely.
David Stern is satisfied, perhaps, the next Jordan still does not know where.
But after Kobe and LeBron, a new flag bearer has emerged, and he doesn't have to worry about the future of the NBA.
"In two or three seasons, it's time for me to retire. The successor must be carefully selected."
David Stern, who was far away in the United States, looked at Wukesong, which was raining colorfully at the end of the game, but his thoughts drifted to the other side.
In 14, Mr. Si will retire.
In the previous life, Adam Xiao Hua became the successor.
But now, everything is different.
Xiao Hua made a mistake, although it was not a big mistake, but Mr. Si felt that he was contrary to Xiao Hua's philosophy.
Mr. Si has his own ideas about the future of the NBA.
Of course, he will not deny his successor's ideas, but at least, on the issue of right and wrong, his successor must be on the same line with him.
Therefore, Xiao Hua is no longer in the ranks of successor candidates.
"Stu, Kiki, or someone from outside the alliance?"
He closed his eyes and began to think deeply.
……
In the capital, Wukesong was full of cheers at the moment the game ended.
The Bobcats won, and this is what the Wukesong fans, commentators and reporters most wanted to see.
However, Li Ke can be sure that even if Thunder wins in the end, Wukesong's cheers will still ring out as usual.
This is the meaning of the Spring Festival Wars. It brought a precious basketball match of the highest level to China on the other side of the ocean.
At the scene, Li Ke also saw some of his teammates in the national team, and saw some heavyweights in the domestic sports world...
After the game, they all greeted each other naturally.
Finally, he found Xiao Du.
"Go back and let LaGarondo practice his free throws."
As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a critical blow to Rondo.
Rondo, who was not far away, seemed to have heard this sentence, and his biting eyes immediately turned around.
Xiao Du didn't follow Li Ke's words, nor did he shake his head in denial. It seemed that he had acquiesced in this game. The Thunder were indeed lost by Rondo's free throw pit.
He just said: "A regular season can't explain anything."
"The regular season can't explain anything, so the playoffs will see the truth, but..."
Li Ke didn't finish his sentence, and Xiao Du also understood Li Ke's meaning. In the playoffs, if the Bobcats and Thunder want to meet, at least they have to go to the finals.
"Then see you in the finals!"
"???"
Li Ke suddenly had a bunch of question marks. I have to say that Xiao Du was very confident at the end of the game.
Like, the way he turns on the computer, holds the keyboard, or picks up the phone.
Incomparably confident, as if he had entered his own domain.
What meeting in the finals, what meeting in the playoffs, Li Ke didn't bother to chat with Xiao Du, he moved the topic away.
"By the way, Kevin, the trick you used in the game... the trick of swinging your arm to make a foul, seems to be quite effective? Teach me?"
Li Ke asked for advice on the first-class ultimate move of swinging the arm, and Xiao Du was really not stingy.
After some narration and hands-on teaching, Li Ke understood the essence of this trick.
……
After finishing the communication with Xiao Du, Li Ke did not go back to the hotel directly, but followed Lu Ning and met with the leaders of Suzhou Sports Bureau.
The economic situation of the CBA is not good, and most teams are losing money.
In the past two years, the Great Shark in Shanghai almost failed to operate. It was not until Dayao signed a trusteeship agreement and became the investor of Shark in Shanghai, which brought Shark in Shanghai back to life.
The situation of Jiangsu Nangang team is not very good. Although it is operated by a state-owned enterprise, it suffers losses every year, and Nangang is also a little bit unbearable.
So he threw the question to the Provincial Sports Bureau, hoping to find someone to take over the Suzhou men's basketball team.
A business that is doomed to lose money, if it is not true love, who would take over it?
So, the Provincial Sports Bureau looked around, but couldn't find a suitable one.
At this time, they thought of the model of Modu.
I found Li Ke, who was interested in investing in a CBA club, and hit it off.
Taking advantage of the time of the Spring Festival war, the three parties worked together to sign the trusteeship agreement of the Provincial Sports Bureau and the transfer agreement of Nangang.
Once the two agreements are signed, Li Ke will become the actual controller of the Suzhou men's basketball team.
