I'm not really a role player

Chapter 358 Beating the Big Three

The Bobcats' attack was still supported by Captain Jack's top arc.

Li Ke came out to catch the ball and continued to face Lebron's defense.

Artest was still watching from the sidelines, but he didn't rush forward to help defend the pincer attack, because Larry Brown was also watching from the sidelines.

After Li Ke rushed out with a stride, and opened the distance from Le Bang cleanly, Artest couldn't help it anymore, and rushed over in a daze.

But this time, when he rushed in front of Li Ke, the Cavaliers' defensive formation played a role.

Lebon gave up chasing and defended, and instead made up in front of Jamison.

Li Ke, who was holding the ball, looked at Artest who appeared suddenly, without any hesitation, crossed his elbows, set up Artest, and rushed out with a sweep.

Bang!

In the end, Artest failed to hold the vigorous Li Ke, so he could only let Li Ke overwhelm him and dunked successfully.

Amidst the cheers at the Time Warner Center, Artest clenched his fists and looked angrily at Li Ke waving his fists to celebrate the buckle.

Li Ke felt the anger from Artest, he met Artest's ferocious gaze without avoiding it, and glared fiercely.

Without any scruples, he said, "You are such a softie, Ron, you are too soft!"

Just like Kobe who later spewed sparks, Li Ke pointed at Artest.

The referee leaned over, very nervous.

He knew that the two glaring eyes were not good.

Artest created the Auburn Hills Palace incident, and Li Ke also had the experience of beating An Zhu.

If they really wanted to fight, the punishment for the Time Warner Center and the punishment for these two people would be next.

The referee will also be fined and stopped for poor field control, which is why the referees are very concerned.

The softie Artai clenched his fists, still enduring it, until the end of Li Ke's sentence: "A softie who was raped by a woman!"

This sentence touched Artest's bottom line.

Artest is a ruthless man, a well-known ruthless man in the NBA, and the Auburn Hills Palace incident is not enough to describe his ruthlessness.

He once broke Jordan's ribs, elbowed Harden, challenged Kobe, and a look that scared Taylor Hansbrough on the spot...

But there were two things that ruined Artest.

One, he was pushed to the ground by Da Ben, and although he was full of resentment, he didn't dare to vent to Da Ben.

Back on the bench, a blind fan bumped into him.

So he took his anger out on the fans.

A generation of villains was ruined by this.

The other is that Artest was chased and beaten into a Hummer by his ex-wife, and he was able to escape after asking for help from the ugly police.

These two things are the bottom line that Artest cannot mention.

Now, Li Ke's trash talk touched his bottom line, and he swung his clenched fist immediately.

Li Ke's reaction was quick. He crossed his arms and blocked a punch.

The referee's reaction was not slow. They were already ready to intervene, but soon, under the obstruction of teammates on both sides, they stopped Artest who was about to throw a second punch.

And, Li Ke, who is pretending to fight back.

Yes, that's right, Li Ke is just pretending.

Everything was within his expectations.

He knew that Artest had been teased by him the whole time, and he was already on the verge of breaking out.

As soon as the words "weak" and "domestic violence by his ex-wife" came out, the bastard, no matter how tolerant he was, had to stretch out his head and bite.

Li Ke didn't want to make a move. He knew that once he made a move, he would not be able to get away with at least one game suspension.

So, he has been pretending to be angry.

After Artest's shot, he crossed his elbow to block the punch.

In terms of being hurt, anyway, his arm muscles are strong enough, but it is Artest's slender hands, which may hurt more than him.

The whistle blowing referee gave Artest two technical offenders without hesitation, and Artest was fined directly.

In the end, he turned around and made another technical offender to Li Ke.

Rewards and punishments are clear, impartial...

The reason why Artest is two technical offenders is because he punched.

The reason why Li Ke also has a technical offender is because he is the initiator of this series of conflicts.

But if a suspension is added after the game, Artest is very dangerous, and Li Ke is safe.

Li Ke was secretly laughing. Sure enough, the LYB road is the safest, most successful, and most rewarding. ,

Curry stood at the free throw line and executed the extra free throw of the technical offender.

After a crisp sound of wiping the net, the Bobcats' lead reached double digits again.

What's worse for the Cavaliers is that they lost Artest, and the only one left who can face Li Ke on the defensive end is Le Bon.

After the game restarts, the ball belongs to the Cavaliers.

LeBron started to get the ball in the backfield, and he was going to attack another quarterback.

Well, as long as it's not Sheldon Lee defending him...

In the backcourt, he slapped the basketball briskly. After halfway through the court, his black face became darker imperceptibly.

At the top of the frontcourt, Li Ke extended his arms, covering Lebron.

"After the first defensive possession in the opening game, the Bobcats immediately turned the defense back, and Sheldon faced LeBron again!"

Jeff Van Gundy and Reggie Miller surprised and even marveled at the Bobcats' quick reaction, but Rivers scratched his head on the sidelines.

"Sheldon switched defenses back? Is his feud with LeBron so deep?"

In Rivers' view, Li Ke was misfired against anyone.

So since the beginning, Lebon has been in a state of misfiring.

After Wade broke out in the first half, he replaced Li Ke in front of Wade in order to lock Wade.

But Rivers didn't know that Wade and LeBron were different, and Li Ke's defensive effect on him was also very different.

Wade's focus is on speed, and the quick first step is his killer move. Often when he steps out, the defender is already behind him, commonly known as "Misty Step".

Even Li Ke, there is no guarantee that he will be able to keep up with Wade's footsteps.

Some people may say that Lebron has excellent speed and strength.

But the translation of this sentence is that Lebron's speed and strength are great, but if we want to say that he is really top-notch, he is still a little short.

In particular, his speed is still slower than that of Flash Wade.

In addition, the Cavaliers' system revolves around Lebron's quarterback offense. Putting Lebron on is equal to letting the Cavaliers' entire team attack.

How to choose, Li Ke sees it more clearly than Rivers.

At the top of the arc, Li Ke was facing Lebron, and Lebron could only stop the ball at the top of the arc.

The quarterback's offense became LeBron's support at the top of the arc.

At this point in the game, except for those low post shots, Lebron's role is no different from that of Captain Jack, or even worse. After all, Captain Jack still has a three-pointer.

Without the quarterback offense, the Cavaliers returned to the first quarter again.

Wade did his best to push his scoring tally to 33 after three quarters.

But this is of no avail, because the Bobcats also have an unstoppable scoring point. In the three quarters, Li Ke also scored as many as 37 points, 4 points more than Wade.

Without Artest, there is only LeBon who always works hard on the defensive end, and Li Ke plays more easily than Wade on the offensive end.

With 37 points in three quarters, he did his best when Curry and Captain Jack were in poor condition.

At the end of the three quarters, the score was 84 to 71, leading the Bobcats by 13 points. Although the victory has not yet been secured, it is not far from victory.

In the final quarter, the Cavaliers made their final struggle.

The Bobcats also responded with their main force. After a fierce battle, the score gap widened to 18 points, and there were only the last 5 minutes of the game.

Rivers felt that it was almost done, and replaced Li Ke, who had already scored 43 points, and Captain Jack, who had sent 8 assists in this game...

Only younger players such as Curry, Wesley Matthews, and Tucker are left on the court to accumulate experience.

For the Cavaliers, obviously the game has lost its suspense, but Larry Brown only replaced Wade, who scored 39 points, and Bosh, who scored 18 points and 9 rebounds.

In the next round when Li Ke left the court, Le Bon finally got a great opportunity.

The teammate completed the steal, and the moment there were exclamations, he rushed out, and then received the pass.

He went down all the way quickly, and there was no one in front of him. Now, no one can stop him.

In this extremely aggrieved game, a dunk was needed to vent the anger in his heart.

So, in the backcourt of the Bobcats, Lebron jumped up, but couldn't catch the ball steadily, and staggered...

boom!
The audience roared with laughter, Lebron's game is over now!

……

In the end, the Bobcats, who played at home, defeated the Cavaliers with a score of 111 to 95 and won the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Li Ke scored 43 points and Wade scored 39 points, each carrying their respective teams.

But the difference is that the role players of the Bobcats played better.

Curry, who played abnormally, scored 16 points, Captain Jack also scored 15 points, plus Jamison's 14 points, Jordan's 10 points...

5 players scored in double figures, as well as Tajibson, Tucker, Wesley Matthews and Xiao Mo who scored in the account. The score of 111 points is considered a high score.

On the other hand, for the Cavaliers, apart from Wade, Bosh's 18 points are still considered qualified. LeBon, who scored only 11 points in the half, barely scored 20 points in the second half.

The Big Three combined to score 77 points is actually no problem. The problem is that, apart from the Big Three, Randy Foye, who scored the highest score, only scored 6 points.

In Reggie Miller's view: "The Bobcats' offensive system is running stably. Let's look at the Cavaliers again. After a game, how many times has the quarterback succeeded in attacking?"

"One of the few!"

"When the Cavaliers' usual offensive system is difficult to operate smoothly, it is not difficult to imagine their offense collapsing."

"If Dwyane Wade hadn't exploded, the ending of this game would have been even more bleak."

Finally, Jeff Van Gundy mentioned Artest's punch: "Although Sheldon blocked that punch, I have to say that Artest almost caused another conflict. This is the Eastern Conference finals, and the league will not turn a blind eye."

"Maybe, the league will add an additional suspension, and the Cavaliers will face the next game, and there will be no dilemma like Artest."

"Although Artest doesn't contribute much on the offensive end, on the defensive end, the Cavaliers really need Artest to pester Sheldon."

After some analysis by the two commentators, it seems that the score is only 1 to 0, and the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals are clearly behind.

After the game, as always, Lebron didn't want to talk nonsense with others after losing the game, so he left the field early, and Wade didn't want to meet Li Ke, so he disappeared early.

In the end, on the court at the Time Warner Center, the only thing Li Ke could see was Bosh.

It's bad enough for the giant Bo who wins the game without credit and loses but has to take the blame. Li Ke doesn't want to stimulate him.

So, after the game, Li Ke could only scratch his head and accepted an interview with Doris Burke.

"43 points in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals. This can't help but remind people of your previous two Eastern Conference Finals. You defeated your opponent cleanly, so will it be the same this time?"

Li Ke played a total of two Eastern Conference finals, one was against the Pistons in 08. Because of the large gap in strength, Li Ke didn't play much, and the Bobcats swept the Pistons 4-0.

The other time was last season's Eastern Conference Finals against the Magic. Li Ke showed his prowess and scored 5 points in G54, leading the team to a comeback and defeating the Magic with a total score of 4-1.

This time this year is Li Ke's third time.

And he is just a young player with only four years of playing experience.

"I don't know, the series has just begun."

Of course, Li Ke would not tell the truth about this obvious problem of digging a hole. He saved some face for the knight.

If the truth is to be told-unless James Weibo can stand up and shoot three-pointers now, otherwise, the Bobcats will win this Eastern Conference finals series!
It's a bit crazy to say so, but in fact, except for the period before the start of the season when the Big Three were hyped, the Cavaliers, who were hip-stretched in the regular season and lacked dominance in the playoffs, have long since lost the momentum they had at the beginning of the season.

If Li Ke really wants to say that, most of the media will probably take it seriously.

After all, looking at G1 in the Eastern Conference finals, the Cavaliers' decline is obvious and there are many problems. They just look like they can't beat the Bobcats.

"You scored 43 points in this game, do you think you can continue your current hot scoring state?"

"Honestly, it's easy."

The second question, Li Ke started to go crazy,
"The Cavaliers' defense is terrible. Although they have Larry Brown in charge, to be honest, their defense has never bothered me from the beginning to the end. I can always score easily. The defense of LeBron and Ron Artest is soft..."

In the rear, Rivers raised his head, looked at the big screen above his head, and shook his head when he heard Li Ke's madman's lies.

He could see it very clearly: this guy wants to take away all the knight's hatred and provide teammates with more room to attack!

Li Ke is very clear that in this era of big groups, one person cannot win the championship, he must drive his teammates.

"The last question, the only four teams left in the playoffs, the Cavaliers, Bobcats, Mavericks and Thunder, except for the Bobcats, have no championship experience. Many people want to see a new team win the championship, so..."

"Wait!" Li Ke raised his hand to interrupt Doris Burke, and then opened his innocent eyes: "Don't the Thunder also have a championship?"

In the 1978-79 season, the Thunder's predecessor, the Sonics, won the first championship in team history under the leadership of Garth Williams, Dennis Johnson and Jack Sikoma.

"Uh……"

Doris Burke was asked. Of course she knew that the Supersonics had a championship, but the problem was that the Thunder did not inherit the history of the Supersonics, and the people of Seattle also refused to allow the Thunder to inherit the history of the Supersonics.

This question seems to be awkward.

"Emmm, actually what I want to say is that things are by no means over yet, it's too early to say this..."
