Chapter 116 47 Combinations and the New Normal (3.3k votes requested!)
The Bobcats rushed back to Charlotte overnight from Houston. After all, they will start their home game in the next game.
At this time, if you return overnight, you can save a lot of money on the hotel.
In the NBA, where the players are all millionaires, the hotels they stay in must be four or five-star hotels. A team counts twenty or so coaches, and saving one night is a huge sum of money.
For the Bobcats, who have been losing money year after year since entering the league, the turnaround began with these seemingly inconspicuous stingy sums.
Returning overnight, when Li Ke and his teammates arrived in Charlotte, it was already past one o'clock in the night.
Head coach Sam Vincent immediately announced a day off.
Cheers erupted from the airport terminal, and the teammates dispersed.
After rushing home in a hurry, after sleeping for more than five hours, Li Ke opened his eyes again, and saw the sunshine all over the ground in front of the bed at a glance...
What the hell!
Startled, he sat up immediately, and then remembered that Tim Graver had said that the breakfast club was closed on the first morning after a road trip.
Thinking of this, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he hadn't trained, he wasn't in a hurry. He got up leisurely, put on casual clothes, and turned on the TV.
"In yesterday's game, Sheldon Lee scored 47 points against Tracy McGrady and Sean Battier, setting a single-game scoring record for a rookie player this season. By the way, he led the Charlotte Bobcats to two consecutive victories since the start of the new season..."
"Oh my God, the rookie scored 47 points, and the opponent was still Timike. You know what I thought of at the first time... Yes, Michael Jordan finally proved his vision."
"Also, last year's No. [-] rookie was elected the best rookie, is it going to be replaced by No. [-] rookie this year?"
"NBA executives are accustomed to using the No. [-] and No. [-] picks to select potential newcomers, but they don't know that the so-called immediate combat power is really trustworthy? For example, Sheldon Lee?"
"..."
In the early morning program of the TNT sports channel, Li Ke's praise made Li Ke feel good, even a little flattered.
And the several newspapers on the breakfast table are all flattering when you open the pages——
"Charlotte Observer": With 47 points on Halloween, Sheldon Lee has become the best rookie of the season!
"Sports Illustrated": Death reappears, Halloween battle, Sheldon's 7 mid-range shots harvest game!
"Basketball Times": Best Halloween costume: Sheldon Lee in Michael Jordan jersey!
"comfortable!"
Li Ke turned on his phone, and there was a text message from Westbrook after the game yesterday——
"Sheldon, 47 points in a single game, you are so good! Hey, do you know how much I want to skip the NCAA right now and go to the NBA to show my ambitions..."
Li Ke can read the strong envy and desire for the NBA in this text. Speaking of which, it is time for Westbrook to shine in the NCAA in the new season.
Then, Li Ke opened the text message directory between him and Xiao Du, and the historical record was still frozen after Xiao Du shot 22 of 7 in the last game, Li Ke jokingly congratulated.
"Kevin, 22 of 7, a very good start, I even thought of your nickname - 'Iron King'!"
Xiao Du only replied with two words: "FK U!"
And after last night's game, Xiao Du was completely silent.
At this time, Li Ke, who wanted to share his happiness, was even more eager to see WeChat appear.
He can take a picture of the front pages of these newspapers as he did in his previous life, and post it on Moments.
Or, form a group chat and post the game report to the group as if to show off...
……
On the second day of Halloween, Xiao Du and his supersonic appeared in Phoenix.
As night fell and the game started, there was the sound of clanging irons in the Meixi Arena.
Facing the defense of the hacker Sean Marion, the second place Xiao Du encountered trouble. He hit three irons in the opening game and only made one of the four goals.
Four ups and three irons, quite Kobe's demeanor.
The Sonics also quickly fell behind by a large score. Of course, they didn't expect to win this game.
The opponent is the Phoenix Suns, one of the top teams in the Western Conference. The Sonics have long had the mentality of losing less and winning more.
Although he smashed three irons at the beginning, Xiao Du still did not stop his footsteps. With a bang, he smashed the fourth iron.
Then there was another bang, the fifth iron...
Even so, he still shot shots regardless. Who gave them the unlimited fire rights granted by the team management?
Just throwing and throwing like this, Xiao Du actually felt like throwing.
At the beginning of the second quarter, he suddenly hit three-pointers in a row, which shocked the Phoenix people into a cold sweat.
Originally, they had already relaxed, but the victory was imminent anyway, and the Suns were not going to waste time on such an opponent.
Seeing Xiao Du's sudden outburst, the old man clapped his hands: "Guys, don't let your guard down, we have to make sure we win this game!"
Then, the Phoenix people made a death move...
In the third quarter, the sound of banging irons decreased, and the sound of basketballs being hollowed into the basket increased.
In the fourth quarter, the Phoenix people played a historic team offense, attacking in 7 seconds, opening their hands to shoot, and one shot...
Xiao Du is moving towards the goal of 34 shots. He doesn't care whether he makes it or not, he shoots when the opportunity arises, and every round, he silently recites a number.
So much so that Sean Marion had a misunderstanding.
"Rookie, are you counting how many points you have lost?"
Xiao Du shut up and continued to attack...
And just like that, after 48 minutes of the game—
"It's too miserable, it's really too miserable!"
"With a score of 143 to 96, the Phoenix Suns completed the massacre of the Sonics!"
On the court, Xiao Du looked up at the score. With his bad math, he calculated for about a minute and came up with a very familiar number-1!
"A fiasco of 47 points, this is a very familiar number."
"That's right, KD's former college teammate Sheldon Lee just scored 47 points in yesterday's game, and turned around, he lost 47 points in the next day's game."
"It's a very tacit cooperation, which reminds me that they are still a combination..."
Charlotte, Li Ke in front of the TV showed a friendly smile, but when he heard McBrin open his mouth to say the name of the group, his eyelids twitched.
"Shet combination."
Depend on!
It's endless, isn't it?
Although he smiled happily, Li Ke edited a comforting text message and sent it.
"Be patient, Kevin, we're all just getting started..."
In Phoenix, Du just got his stats. He accidentally made an extra shot. He made 35 of 14 shots. He just hit a 37% hit rate and scored [-] points.
Lost by 47 points, made one more shot than Li Ke, but scored 6 fewer points, and scored 10 points less...
Of course Xiao Du was in a bad mood, and he didn't respond to Li Ke's text messages at all.
I just made up my mind: this one doesn't count, and I'll come back after the next game...
……
After the Halloween battle, the Bobcats, who had won two consecutive victories, stayed in Charlotte for two days to rest, and then ushered in the third game of the season. The opponent was the Sacramento Kings who came to challenge.
As a popular rookie who scored 47 points in the previous focus game, Li Ke naturally became the focus of the media.
And when the reporter asked: "You scored 47 points in the last game, and Kevin Durant lost 47 points in the last game. As teammates in college, they even formed a combination called Schett. What do you think about such a coincidence?"
Of course Li Ke frowned, the Xie Te combination, why isn't it over yet!
However, right now is a good opportunity for the Xie Te Group to change its name.
"It's really too coincidental, so coincidental that I think the combination of me and Kevin should be renamed."
The reporter showed a questioning expression and made a gesture of listening.
"47 combination, I got 47 points, he lost 47 points, 47 combination is just right!"
Seeing that the reporter only showed a faint smile, as if he was not keen on it, Li Ke thought about it and decided to make a big move: "Emmm, just the two of us are not enough, we can also pull Kobe."
"Kobe?"
At this time, the reporter in front of him showed a look of surprise and became very concerned.
"Yes, Kobe, I remember one game where he took 47 shots..."
"4717?"
Listening to the reporter's accurate account of the game, Li Ke nodded in satisfaction.
Li Ke was happy before the start of the game. The Xie Te combination is gone forever, and the 47 combination will sweep the United States overnight...
But after the game started, he felt the malice brought by the number 47——
"Sheldon Lee?"
After the Auburn Hills Palace incident, Ron Artest was given up by the Pacers. He has been with the Kings for almost two seasons, but his perverse temper has not improved.
Last season, he was suspended by the Kings one after another for reasons including dog abuse, absence from games due to family reasons, and off-court domestic violence scandals.
The king's management has lost patience with Artest, and according to gossip, the king is selling Artest.
Such a stabbing head found Li Ke at the beginning of the game.
Li Ke nodded his head pretending to be calm, and replied in a flat tone: "What's the matter?"
"Of course, rookie, I heard you scored 47 points on Tracy McGrady in the last game?"
"That's right!"
"Then in this game, your score will only be a fraction of the last game at most."
"?"
Li Ke threw a question mark in the past, and then the game started, and he felt the difficulty of life.
The red-eyed Ron Artest, like a hungry wolf touching bloody raw meat, rushed over with bared teeth and claws.
……
At the last moment of the game, Ron Artest clung to Li Ke again as if he would never get tired.
At this time, Mr. Sheldon Lee, who scored 47 points in the previous game, made 6 of 2 shots and only scored 6 points...
When Li Ke made another three-pointer, but was knocked out of the frame with a bang, Ron Artest yelled:
"I've said it before, you won't score more than 7 points in this game!"
However, Li Ke replied without the slightest timidity: "I have already said that, the competition is not over yet!"
So, at the last moment of the game, Li Ke suddenly rushed to the basket, caught the basketball, resisted Artest's pull, and dunked the ball into the basket with a bang!
数据统计表跳动了一下，7投2中变成了8投3中，李恪的得分也来到了8分。
The referee blows the whistle, and he has to add a penalty.
There was a bang, and the extra penalty was unsurprisingly missed.
After the free throw, Li Ke pointed eight fingers at Artest.
He knew that Artest had clenched his fists at this moment.
But it was useless, he had achieved his goal and the game was over.
In the first show at home, the Charlotte Bobcats lost to the Kings. Mr. 47 points made 8 of 3 shots and scored only 8 points.
After the eruption, it was sluggish, but Li Ke knew that this was not sluggish, this would be normal...
Today is the third update, the first update is 3.3K, thanks to the Duke of Panshi, who later found love for the reward!
