I'm not really a role player

Chapter 391 The Last Step of the Dynasty (End)
Because of the Olympics, Shelton's training camp was postponed, but he was not absent.

In Los Angeles, Tim Graver went ahead and rented the arena.

Then, as soon as Li Ke arrived, he contacted Xiaodu, Guigui, Curry, Harden, Jiba...

Calling friends, the training hall soon gathered the young talents who participated in the NBA draft in 07, 08 and 09.

This year, as in previous years, there are a few more newcomers.

The great nephew Guo was called by Li Ke, and the number one scholar Anthony Davis was called by the big nephew.

In addition, Li Ke also called Drummond Green.

But this is nothing special. Everyone in the training camp knows that Li Ke has always valued the rookies of the Bobcats.

And the high quality of the Bobcats' rookies in recent years, I have to say, has something to do with this training camp.

As soon as everyone arrived, the training camp officially started.

Several regular visitors to the training camp started practicing on their own without needing to be greeted by Tim Graver or Li Ke.

Turtle likes to use this training camp to improve his shooting, because the shooting coach of the training camp is now a little famous Rital Shute.

Daluo was able to develop a one-handed three-pointer, and Shute definitely deserves credit.

And this summer, Da Luo, who joined the training camp again, chose to follow the physical coach and the trainer of the University of Texas Longhorns Todd Wright to practice lateral movement and lose weight along the way.

Obviously, the finals have made Da Luo understand that this belongs to the small ball era, and a center without speed is useless.

Old Dujared Dudley was chatting with Harden. It is said that the Warriors have passed a deal to switch from the Suns to Old Du.

After this summer, Lao Du will join the Warriors and assist Harden.

And at this time, what the two of them were talking about was not how Lao Du would find open spots next season, how Harden would pass him the ball, but...

The Warriors still have to make a deal, and the target may be Paul or Howard.

In short, the Warriors next season will have a lot to do.

A new strong team is about to rise.

The Curry brothers are all upgrading their confrontation, and Tim Graver gave them each a plan to hang meat.

Li Ke is not very optimistic about this hanging meat plan. He knows that Ku Ritian will have many injuries in the future, which are definitely related to hanging meat.

But if you are not optimistic about it, you are not optimistic about it. Curry thinks every day, hanging meat is a must.

Seth Curry is a senior this year, and he did not choose to participate in this year's draft in the summer after his junior year.

The reason is that he is likely to lose the election this year.

Therefore, he decided to stay for another year and rush for a higher pick.

In addition, Clay and Owen, young people with mediocre presence, are also honestly carrying out their training under the guidance of several coaches in the training camp.

"Kevin, one on one!"

In the end, it was Jiba who took Xiaodu one-on-one.

Why pull Xiao Du instead of Li Ke, who has been a training partner with him since the NCAA period?

It must be admitted that Jiba's offense is still a bit rough. For Xiao Du, he still has a lot of offense.

For Li Ke, a pervert on both offensive and defensive ends, it is purely looking for abuse.

Looking at the entire Sheldon training camp, there are not many who dare to single out Li Ke.

until……

"I'm not too late, am I? Wow! There are so many people? Well, I've heard that you held a large training camp in Long Beach, and it's true..."

Wearing sunglasses and striding aggressively, Kobe suddenly appeared on the sidelines.

Uh……

There will be no riots at the scene, because everyone is a professional NBA player, and meeting Kobe is a common thing.

It's just that everyone was surprised.

The oldest group of athletes was only born in 85, and there are even a lot of young athletes born in the 90s participating in the training camp. If you, a person born in the 70s, suddenly appeared here, what's the matter?

Of course, Kobe didn't know what these young players were complaining about, and he waved his hand towards the field feeling good about himself.

Then, a few guys who claimed to be Kobe fans came forward to say hello.

But their enthusiasm was wrong. This time Kobe came, not for them.

After dealing with this group of little "fans", Kobe got to the point. He wanted to fight Li Ke one-on-one.

Speaking of which, as the Lakers withdrew from the title race in the past few seasons, Kobe has also declined significantly, and the heads-up between the two has become less and less.

As for this heads-up, the outcome is of course without any suspense.

The old Kobe was completely abused...

Kobe, who refused to accept his old age, did not leave the training camp, but took root in this training camp.

Xiaodu, Guigui, Curry, Harden, Jiba, these new generations were all picked by Kobe, and there were winners and losers in the end.

……

In Xia Tian, ​​the whereabouts of Huo Hua and Brother Pao are finally clear.

Although the Lakers have been working hard, the value of An Zhu's transaction has plummeted severely, and they are not willing to send away Jia Sao at the same time, which makes them unable to compete with the Clippers in the same city.

At this time and space, there is no Jordan, so the Clippers, who are short of centers, use Kemba Walker as the master, catch Xiao Mo, and add two first rounds. They got Sparks and Jason You from the Magic trade.

In this way, the Clippers formed a super inside combination of Griffin and Sparks, and there are also new-generation shooting guards like Eric Gordon on the outside.

However, the Clippers didn't stop, and then they sent away Eric Bledsoe, who was originally considered to be Kemba Walker's replacement, and you just got deep, and traded from the Suns to Steve Nash!

Li Ke looked bewildered, does this Los Angeles have the F4 BUFF or something?The Lakers can't form the Big Four, and the Clippers can form it for them?
Nash + Eric Gordon + Gelifen + Sparks, this quartet, indeed some media are already talking about F4!
On the other side, the Warriors took out the big brush Monta Ellis, and Richard Jefferson, who has two years and $2121 million, plus a first round.

At the same time, Dorell Wright was sent away, and the first round of Jacole Aldridge was changed from the Thunder to the Pelicans.

In the first round of the three, add Monta Ellis, who is a brush but can be saved, add a young center, and add a garbage contract that can be turned into an expired contract after a year.

From the Pelicans, the gun brother who hasn't played very seriously in the past two years, and the magic bird Carl Landry who has won a big contract but has not played as expected.

In this regard, the Warriors formed the light bulb combination.

Coupled with the insiders David Lee and Bogoute, rookie Harrison Barnes, as well as the magic bird Landry and the space-type fourth position UAE, this Warriors team is also very promising.

The Lakers failed to get either the Sparks or the Paoge, but they were not idle.

Although Anzhu's data performance is excellent, the transaction value has been falling, coupled with the serious injuries that are speculated but unknown by the outside world.

Mitch Kupchak decided to sell while he was still at the top.

Anzhu, who averaged 20+10 per game last season but did not play in the playoffs, is still a bit marketable. This sell-off immediately attracted the 76ers who have been hovering on the edge of the playoffs for the past few seasons and wanted to break the deadlock.

After some negotiations, the Lakers bid An Zhu + Ariza to get Andre Iguodala, Nikola Vucevic, Maurice Harkless and a future protected first round from the 76ers.

Seeing this deal, Li Ke was even more confused.

"Has Mitch Kupchak's level of trading and people-watching increased so high all of a sudden?"

It must be admitted that after this deal, the Lakers, who were originally a stagnant pool, are alive!
The 76ers who wanted to break the deadlock also successfully broke the deadlock.

If Anzhu can play 20+10 in another team, the 76ers can build a team around Anzhu.

If not, they can be completely rebuilt.

The overall feeling given to Li Ke by the three transactions is that the eastern part has been further weakened, and the chaos in the western part has further deepened.

"In the Western Conference next season, the Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, Clippers, Grizzlies, Warriors, Lakers, Jazz, Mavericks, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves... 11 teams are aiming for the playoffs!"

"The Thunder, Spurs, and Warriors are all champions, and maybe the Clippers are too. It's so intense!"

In contrast to the East——

"As soon as Rose was injured, the Bulls withdrew. Except for the Cavaliers, the rest are all colored pens!"

Although they are all colored pens, it does not prevent them from continuing to toss.

The most tossing is the Nets. They packed a bunch of rubbish contracts, and got Jiongsen from the Eagles.

After that, the Warriors and Wizards made a three-way deal, sent a bunch of second-round picks, and took the big contracts of Okafor and Chris Humphries.

In this way, the Nets also formed a nondescript combination, Delonga 囧 囧 Sen Jiajiba, plus Humphries and Okafor, the former Bobcats inside partner.

Look at least, the lineup on paper has no shortcomings.

There are also the Pistons. They sent away Ben Gordon and Rodney Stuckey. At the same time, they got Turkoglu and Courtney Lee from the Magic to strengthen the depth of the wing.

Finally, there is the Magic. Although they lost their spark, Monta Ellis joined, plus the little black bean who was not crippled by Ginobili and has been outputting steadily in the past few seasons, Ryan Anderson and Glenn Davis at the fourth position.

This magic seems to have a bit of fighting power.

But still the same sentence, in the entire East, the Bobcats and the Cavaliers are competing for supremacy, and the rest are rookies.

The Cavaliers, who compete with the Bobcats, have also undergone amazing changes this summer.

First of all, the wave giant applied for a deal. Danny Ferry was very happy when he heard this: Is there such a good thing?
After pretending to stay, a deal was made to send the Bo giant to Texas.

It is none other than the Rockets who took over the Bo giant!
The wave giant returned to Texas, which can be regarded as going home.

In this deal, the Cavaliers got the bankrupt version of Deng Shao Kevin Martin, and the older and more demonic Luis Scola.

In the eyes of many people, the Cavaliers made a lot of money in this deal.

There is no doubt that Martin and Scola will greatly enhance the Cavaliers' bench depth.

In addition to this deal, the Cavaliers also used the full mid-level exception to sign Ray Allen, whose contract expired.

With the addition of Battier, Billups and Caron Bart who stayed on the team last season, the Cavaliers' bench is still deep.

However, some people believe that after the Bobcats used five small players to kill the Quartet in the playoffs last season, the Cavaliers did not supplement the top wing 3D, but added a bunch of scorers who did not defend, which is really a mistake.

Even so, Lebron + Wade, plus Junzi Ray, Martin, Scola, and Caron Butler, this bunch of scorers has made the Cavaliers' scoring points overflow.

Cavaliers are still very promising, perhaps find another way, can also beat the Bobcats.

The Thunder, who are also the favorites for the championship, also used Cole Aldridge as a pick this season to switch from the Warriors to 3D Dorell Wright to make up for a wing.

In this way, before the start of the new season, public opinion continued to be optimistic about the Bobcats, thinking that——

Another season, Curry will improve, and this group of young players such as Matthews, juniors, and Jordan will also improve.

And Li Ke has entered the peak, and the Bobcats will continue to rule the current league.

……

Li Ke doesn't think he has reached the peak, at least, his three-pointer is not yet a level.

However, it's coming soon.

At the beginning of the season, he was playing Curry's idea.

Curry's friendliness is about to break 80, and by then, a three-point skill will definitely not be able to escape.

Come to think of it, there should be no talent gap between him and Curry.

When the season started, he accelerated his pace of attacking Curry.

In the opening game, against the Cavaliers, Li Ke gave Curry a lot of three-pointers that he could shoot after catching the ball.

This allowed Curry to blast 43 points directly in the opening game, and was once again surrounded by all kinds of compliments after the game.

On Halloween, before the game, Li Ke prepared a batch of bitcoins and gave them to his teammates.

Under the guidance of Li Ke, elementary school student Curry came into contact with the currency circle for the first time.

For the Christmas battle, he prepared a unique ape portrait for each of his teammates.

The elementary school students chose a blue ape in a suit, and they liked it very much at first sight.

From October to November, and then to December, after the New Year's Eve...

Li Ke, who has developed a pass, has become more and more reasonable in his style of play. He even scored a top triple-double of 30+10+10 in a certain week.

Curry also benefited from this, and his scoring average quickly increased to 28 points per game, officially entering the pinnacle of elementary school students.

The friendship slowly increased, and finally, in the Spring Festival battle, the Bobcats vs. the Pistons, whose record has greatly improved this season.

This battle should have been Li Ke's stage, but he gave way to Curry.

In this game, he sent as many as 14 assists, and there were countless balls passed without assists.

Curry also scored 47 points in this battle, beating the tortoise hard.

On the court, Curry was happy, and off the court, Li Ke was happy.

Finally, after more than three months of the regular season, Curry's friendship broke through 80, and Li Ke was finally able to get the S-level three-pointer he wanted.

but……

[Congratulations to the host, successfully copied Stephen Curry's S-level three-pointer, due to the talent gap, the S-level three-pointer was weakened to A-level...]

"The talent gap? Are you kidding me?"

"Also, what about the proficiency gap?"

Li Ke felt that this system was a joke, but this system was serious.

He even wanted to see the five words proficiency gap. In this case, at least, he could raise the three points to S level by making up the proficiency gap.

pity……

An A-level three-pointer obviously cannot make Li Ke go straight to the top.

Especially, in the follow-up regular season, Li Ke became more and more sour seeing Curry's three-pointers shooting farther and farther.

In any case, the distance between him and the pinnacle needs to be bit by bit, and Curry's full-value friendliness will be slowly worn down.

……

During the period of grinding Curry's friendliness, the Bobcats' record improved steadily without twists and turns.

They beat the Cavaliers in the opening game, the Knicks in the Halloween game, the Thunder in the Christmas game, and the Pistons in the Chinese New Year game.

Ranked first in the league early, the Bobcats played the expected dominance before the start of the game.

The 2013 All-Star Weekend was not held in Houston, as in history, but in Charlotte.

In this way, Li Ke changed suddenly and became the host.

As the host, he still didn't participate in the three-point contest and dunk contest, but in the All-Star Game, he punched hard.

Scored 40 points, and scored 75 points with Curry, who became the All-Star starter, leading the Eastern team to a big victory over the Western team.

Li Ke also won his second All-Star MVP because of this!

After the All-Star break, the Bobcats continued to thrive.

At the end of the season, they scored an excellent record of 68 wins and 14 losses.

East, from first to eighth, in order——

Bobcats, Cavaliers, Knicks, Pacers, Pistons, Nets, Bulls and Eagles.

West, from first to eighth in order is——

Thunder, Spurs, Warriors, Clippers, Grizzlies, Nuggets, Lakers, Jazz.

The regular season came to an end, and despite the increase in passing, Li Ke still won the scoring and stealing titles this season, just like last season.

……

In the playoffs, the Bobcats' opponent in the first round is the Eagles.

囧囧sen left the Nets, this season the Eagles changed to the new Eagle King.

Josh Smith is playing his best, Al Horford is making big strides, and Jeff Teague is officially in.

They also traded for Louis Williams, and the bench firepower became fierce again.

Even so, they were swept by the Bobcats this round.

Li Ke and Curry fired at the same time, and this Eagles really couldn't resist.

It's just that in the four games that were swept away, the Hawks dealt with the Bobcats' five minors very well.

Josh can be at the fifth position, and his speed and strength are not at a disadvantage against Li Ke and Tucker. This scene has given many teams who intend to fight against the Bobcats more ideas.

In the second round, the Bobcats' opponent was the Pacers who beat the Pistons.

Danny Granger was not abolished by Lebon, and this change made him and Paul George, who had made great progress, form a high-strength wing combination.

Public opinion even believes that the Pacers are the strongest team in the East after the Bobcats and Cavaliers.

But this round, the Pacers still failed to struggle and were swept by the Bobcats in one round.

Li Ke made a defensive effort, locked up Pickled Pepper, and Granger couldn't stand alone...

Before the Eastern Conference finals, the league's major awards were awarded.

Li Ke won the MVP in a row, and it is impossible to be absent for a while. Only Dpoy lost to the Grizzlies' Marc Gasol in the end.

In the Eastern Conference finals, the opponent was the Cavaliers who first swept the Bulls and then defeated the Knicks.

Once again in the Eastern Conference finals, the Cavaliers pointed to revenge.

But Shan Mao told them with practical actions that they thought too much!

With a total score of 4 to 1, the Cavaliers were easily defeated.

In G1 and G2, with Lebron and Wade as the main players, they once caused some trouble for the Bobcats against the five young Cavaliers, and even pulled back a game in G3.

But in G4 and G5, Li Ke increased the pass, Curry broke out, and a wave took the game away.

Finally, the finals, 88vs35 were staged as scheduled.

The Thunder, which added Dorrell Wright, started aggressively. Xiao Du imagined defeating Li Ke for the first time and stopping the Bobcats' dynasty.

But when the game started, the Thunder realized that their additions and improvements this season only helped them win one more game against the Bobcats.

With a total score of 4 to 1, Charlotte Time Warner Center, Li Ke won the cup.

The dynasty has arrived!
