Chapter 68: The Resentful Lebang(1/2)
Dallas, another All-Star weekend.
Li Ke took his fingers and calculated that this was his third All-Star to enter the NBA.
Everything is already familiar with it-
Arrived the day before, Li Ke checked into the hotel and fell asleep.
The next morning, he participated in the league's fan carnival. As soon as the event ended, he was pulled away by Boss Qiao.
There is no casino in Dallas, and Boss Qiao is also a little bored. Fortunately, he has other hobbies.
Following Boss Qiao, Li Ke soon saw a beautiful golf course.
To be honest, Li Ke didn't understand this sport very much, but here he saw the ceiling of this sport.
"Sheldon, I don't need to introduce this person, right?"
Boss Qiao called out Li Ke, but did not introduce the thin black man who was coming towards him.
Li Ke was not panicked either, Tiger Woods, he still knew about it.
"Of course, of course, I still know Michael Jordan in the golf industry."
Then Li Ke extended his right hand to Tiger Woods.
Woods smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Same for you, the next Michael Jordan in the basketball world."
After some joking greetings, the group stood on the golf course.
Li Ke, who doesn't know much about this sport, doesn't even have much interest in it.
He just watched Old Joe swing shot by shot under Woods' guidance.
After a while, the golf course began to be on the golf course.
Seeing Patrick Ewing, Damon Waynes (actor), Ahmed Rush (actor) and others appearing, Li Ke realized that Lao Qiao brought him to a party of Jordan's close friends.
"So, am I a good friend of Lao Qiao?"
Thinking of the full value friendship given in the system, Li Ke thought, count it!
However, this party was boring for Li Ke because he didn't like to play golf and was not very interested in the topics of this group of middle-aged people.
But these old men discussed this year's All-Star Weekend around Li Ke for a while.
Most of them ask questions, just like reporters asking Li Ke various questions.
For example, why did Li Ke still not participate in the dunk contest this year on All-Star Weekend?
Li Ke didn't want to say the same remarks again. This year he found a new reason: "I'm waiting for a strong opponent."
"A powerful opponent?"
"Yes, not only must we be outstanding in strength, but also outstanding in reputation."
"With outstanding strength and outstanding reputation, Michael, it's your turn to come back..."
Damon Waynes made a joke, but indeed, the most perfect match for Li Ke’s two requirements is Lao Qiao.
Lao Qiao naturally shook his head. He knew that Li Ke was not talking about him.
"Sheldon should be referring to Kobe Bryant, or LeBron James?"
Li Ke silently gave a thumbs up. Kobe was the one that was in charge. What he really pointed to was Lebang, who also did not participate in the dunk contest for various reasons.
In the dunk contest, Li Ke lost his excitement, and the focus of this group of people was on the only All-Star Game that Li Ke participated in.
"That's the main competition, Sheldon, you won't continue to do this year's main competition, right?"
Li Ke spread his hands. He didn't want to mess around, but did he have the final say?
In this year's All-Star Game, the head coach of the Eastern Conference is Stan Van Gundy. If Warcraft is interested in this AMVP and the master and apprentice join forces, what else is there?
Even though Warcraft had no idea about this AMVP, the other three of the five starting players, Wade, Lebang and Bosh, joined forces, what did Li Ke think, is it important?
"All-stars, just an exhibition match. To be honest, I don't care. If you can, just mess around..."
Li Ke was helpless, but he also knew that it was not because he had a bad relationship with others, but because his era had not yet arrived.
From the distribution of all-star starters, there are three generations in the East, one generation of the 2003s (Howard who ran in 2004), only Li Ke is a rookie in 2007. The time difference between three and four years is already a generation away.
In the west, the closest one is the Cannon Brother who ran for election in 2005.
Li Ke's generation of players are the only one who has become All-Star starters. Even the 2006 draft is the dividing line. Young people who entered the NBA after 2006, in addition to Li Ke, only Al Horford and Derek Rose in the East, and only Du Xiao and Brandon Roy in the West.
Let’s look at Lebang again. The first generation of 2003 has three people in the east and Guagua in the west.
To expand the concept to the Pan-03 generation, there will be countless substitutes added to Howard and Pao Ge.
"Following this year, Lebang has a great chance to get an AMVP!"
It was mainly decided by the head coaches of the East and West. The head coach of the East was Stan Van Gundy. Sparks are a playful player. He probably didn't have much thoughts about AMVP, and he was thinking about it if he showed off his sense of humor.
In this case, as long as LeBon gets the support of Wade and Bosh, he will be the only hottest in the East.
In the West, the Nuggets are the No. 1 in the West, and George Carl is the head coach of the Western Conference.
Guagua cannot have no idea about this AMVP, he will inevitably seek the support of George Carl.
Kobe, who had already won the AMVP last year, probably had no idea about this AMVP. Brother Pao just won the same number two years ago, and he liked passing the ball, so he probably had no idea about it.
Although the driver plays at home, the Mavericks focus on the regular season. It should be an attitude of being able to get along with the All-Star weekend.
Not to mention the center forward Jiasan, the big brother in the same team has no idea. What else can he have?
Guagua certainly cannot beat the three giants that the Eastern Conference joined forces in advance, so-
"This year's All-Star Game should be the most boring."
Fortunately, Li Ke met a group of new friends on this golf course in Dallas, which was another gain.
...
On the third day of staying in Dallas, the NBA’s community care activities.
In the afternoon, Li Ke received an invitation from Kobe to attend another party.
This is how All-Star Weekends are, with gatherings one after another, just like a large NBA star exchange meeting, but the faction will be divided more clearly.
For example, Li Ke, after the "American Sweetheart" and the nickname of #refusing to insult the nature of the nickname#, he completely said goodbye to the platinums of the 03 generation.
However, his relationship with Kobe is still a kind of relationship that is both enemies and friends.
At Kobe's party, Li Ke also met Brother Cannon.
emmm, Brother Pao should be the kind of fence-mounted person. On the one hand, he has a good relationship with the people of Lebang, both the Banana Boat Brothers and the Four Heroes of Fengchen.
But on the other hand, his relationship with Kobe and Li Ke is not bad.
However, when it comes to relationships, Kobe and Lebang's relationship is not bad.
But there are few people in the NBA who are good at everything like Pao Ge, so it's no wonder that he will become the chairman of the Players' Union in the future.
In the evening, the rookie challenge started.
Li Ke is very concerned because the Bobcats are fought by three, Curry, Wesley Matthews and Tagibson.
In fact, the public opinion is a bit disgusted with the fact that the Bobcats were selected for the rookie challenge, because there are too many rookies this year, and Curry is fine, Wesley Matthews and Tagibson are really not on the list.
However, the alliance gives quotas mainly two points. Data performance is only one aspect, and popularity is also very important.
Because of Li Ke's existence, Wesley Matthews and Tagibson are very popular, and their different positions helped them defeat Jonny Flynn, Tylawson and others and enter this year's rookie match.
Although there are many people, the game really started and dominated the field was not any of the three.
I don’t know if it’s because of its combat power that is indeed one level higher than the rookie in the same class, or if it happened to seize the opportunity, Tyrek Evans played well from the beginning, with various breakthroughs and passes, giving people the feeling of LeBron James.
Curry, who started, could only play Tyrek Evans, and the first-year team quickly took the lead.
The second-year team is not the opponent of the first-year team. On the one hand, the gap between the 2008 draft and the 2009 draft is indeed quite large. On the other hand, Derek Ross needs to participate in the main competition, so he pigeoned the rookie competition. Without Ross, the second-year team, which was not strong, is even less a match for the first-year team.
In this way, in the first half, the first-grade team scored 140 points and defeated the second-grade team 140-128.
Tyrek Evans, who scored 26 points, 5 rebounds and 8 assists, successfully won the MVP trophy in the Rookie Challenge.
Let’s look at Tyrek Evans’ regular season data, averaging 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.5 steals per game, Lebang, who is the number one younger.
The best rookie is already on the way. Is the league's support possible? After all, Mr. S looks fierce, so you should still see the essence of Tyrek Evans' rookie being the peak.
...
The fourth day of staying in Dallas was still a community care event arranged by the league.
In the afternoon, Li Ke called Xiao Du, as well as Jiba, Westbrook, Curry, Harden, and Daluo, Jeff Green who participated in the rookie tournament, etc.
This is Li Ke's own circle. Jiba and Westbrook are his close friends, and Xiao Du is not much different. Harden became familiar after several fights. Da Luo and Jeff Green, one followed Xiao Du, and the other was the same agent, and the relationship was good.
Looking at the group of people in front of you, think about this year's All-Star Game, and think about the future.
When Du, Jiba, Westbrook, Curry, and Harden take over, it is not difficult for Li Ke to kill Osamu a small All-Star Game.
The same thing is said, Li Ke’s era has not yet arrived!
After a hot chat that was neither salty nor light, time entered the evening All-Star miscellaneous competition.
To be continued...
