I'm not really a role player

Chapter 99 The Scary Brother Li (4.2K [-]nd update)
Austin, time has entered August, and Li Ke's special training has already begun.

The long-distance running in the morning is still the same. This time, Li Ke did not choose stamina because he felt that his stamina could be improved.

He still remembered that when he first started long-distance running, his endurance was only at level D. As he ran longer and longer, his endurance crossed two levels and rose to level B.

Now, he has been able to run two and a half laps around the North Camps, farther than he can run in B-level endurance.

This means that Li Ke is still improving, and his stamina can still be improved independently...

After running two and a half laps, Li Ke walked for the remaining half lap at a leisurely pace, just as Jiba also finished four laps and went back to the apartment.

After finishing breakfast, Li Ke and Jiba appeared at the Frank Owen Center.

At this time, Li Ke will start the special training of turning back and running.

However, you can't run too much back and forth, because if you run too much, your knees will not be able to bear it.

So, after running back and forth, Li Ke soaked in the weight room, practicing the strength of his lower body all morning.

In the afternoon, the Longhorns started tactical training, and Todd Wright, the trainer, was free.

Li Ke used it privately as a public teacher, and under the guidance of Todlet, he began to practice the frequency of steps.

First, there was a frontal sprint on the court, and Todd Wright shouted: "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"

Then there was a sideways move, and Todd Wright still shouted: "Too slow Sheldon, go faster!"

After a long time, Li Ke was out of breath: "This...doesn't seem to be much different from running back and forth?"

"No, there's a big difference. Turn-back running, what you need is continuous short-term sprinting, while the frequency training of steps is long-term sprinting and moving. You need to find a fixed frequency during this period of sprinting and moving..."

Li Ke touched his chin, regardless of whether what Toddle said is correct or not, if he continues to practice like this, there will definitely be some effects.

This kind of training can not only improve his speed, but also significantly improve his flexibility and explosiveness.

The special speed training has been full, and his one-on-one with Jimmy Butler has also been greatly reduced.

But Jiba was not idle, he took the initiative to start a special strength training.

And when Li Ke asked him why, this guy said:

"Sheldon, don't think I can't feel it. You always show your poor ball-handling and breakthrough skills in front of me. It's hard to sustain every time. If it's not for the huge gap in strength, you can't break through my defense at all. When I improve my strength, you will know how powerful I am..."

The question is, how can strength be improved so easily.

Although Li Ke and Jiba started special training at the same time, Li Ke was naturally faster in terms of progress.

Li Ke stayed until the beginning of September, until he received a call from Bobcats assistant coach Xiaogou B, and then he was ready to leave Austin and report to Charlotte.

During this time, his hard work has paid off.

Speed ​​has gone through all kinds of hardships and returned to the S-level. In addition, he has also developed a D-level ball control——

Jibba's strength training was mediocre, but the guy got very excited under the frenetic trash talk.

Started more risky defenses, and what more risky defenses lead to:
Jiba's steals were practiced, and Li Ke was forced to increase his dribbling routines with a pair of short arms. Instead, he practiced the ball control.

Such high-intensity and effective training made Li Ke a little reluctant to leave.

He really wanted to practice breakthrough to D, and explosiveness and agility to C before leaving, but he had no choice but to run out of time.

After buying a plane ticket, Li Ke hesitated for a moment, and bought a plane ticket to Los Angeles.

"Try again..."

……

Charlotte, a press conference, Michael Jordan and Sam Vincent shook hands, the spotlight flashed into one.

"Today, the Charlotte Bobcats held a press conference, and Sam Vincent, assistant coach of the Dallas Mavericks, took office as the team's new coach."

"Michael Jordan has found another former teammate, and the Bobcats are about to become a favor team."

"Forget about favors, the key is that he still chose a bunch of bad-looking rookies according to his own wishes."

"..."

Robert Johnson has not been to Charlotte for a long time, and the last time was after the draft.

He ran to Jordan's office and had a heated argument, the focus of which was of course the No. 8 pick.

Robert Johnson wanted Jason Richardson, but Jordan chose Li Ke without saying hello.

Now that Sam Vincent is in office, Robert Johnson feels more and more tired.

"Stan Van Gundy, Paul Silas, Mike Fratello, and he drafted an inexperienced Sam Vincent?"

Under the lens of the media, Michael Jordan is in high spirits.

But 5 minutes later, in his office, Robert Johnson sat across from Jordan.

"George, tell me about your progress..."

George Postolos, the former Rockets president, is now a special consultant hired by Robert Johnson.

Jordan, who was sitting behind the boss's desk, frowned. Progress?What progress?
"We have already negotiated a deal with the Warriors. Adam Morrison and a protected first-round pick next year can get Jason Richardson from the Warriors."

trade?What kind of deal is this?
"It's like this, Michael, I commissioned George, and talked to the Warriors about the Jason Richardson trade..."

Robert Johnson explained.

Jordan's face changed, and he flatly refused: "This is impossible, Robert!"

"Nothing is impossible, Michael, you have already picked Sheldon Lee with the No. 8 pick, then Adam Morrison can give up. It just so happens that the Warriors still have a little interest in him..."

"No, I never said I would give up Adam!"

"But you picked Sheldon Lee again, didn't you? He clashed with Adam Morrison, two people, one has to go."

Robert Johnson had a good reason, but Jordan shook his head: "Sheldon and Adam conflict? It's ridiculous...Adam is the next Larry Bird. As for Sheldon, he is..."

Who is Li Ke next?Jordan froze for a moment.

Not many people will talk about Li Ke's template, or who he will be next.

And Jordan asked himself, why did he choose Li Ke against all opinions?Sudden rapid growth of the body?Countless crazy lore and key goals?Or those precise shots?
No, it was definitely not one of them, but all of them combined to create the Xie Like he wanted.

"As for Sheldon, he is different from Adam. He has many possibilities, but he is by no means the next Larry Bird. He and Adam are basically two types of players."

"So, you mean, next season, you will train two young players at the same time?"

Robert Johnson can't control that much, he immediately asked a question.

Jordan naturally gave an affirmative answer.

But Robert Johnson sneered: "Michael, you are so naive. If you train two young players at the same time, what about our results? I have already said that the Bobcats must win from next season. If we don't win, we will continue to lose the audience at home. The loss may come in the next moment. Building a new home arena in the future is even more ridiculous!"

Jordan was silent, but Robert Johnson was aggressive.

After a long time, Jordan threw out his trump card: "Anyway, Robert, I am the person in charge of Bobcats basketball affairs. This is what I agreed when I bought the equity last year. It has only been a year!"

"But your operation has made the team's future bleak!"

"The new season hasn't started yet, how do you know the future is gloomy?"

"There is no need to start a new season. How bad was Adam Morrison's performance last season? Did you ignore it all?"

"That was only his first season!"

"..."

The fierce quarrel was staged again.

……

In Los Angeles, Li Ke hooked up with Dasheng, who had just arrived from China.

This time the destination is not Orange County.

After all, the time has come to the beginning of September, and most teams in the NBA will start pre-season training camps in the next two or three days, and so will the Lakers.

In order to prepare for the new season, Kobe moved back to downtown Los Angeles. When he heard that Li Ke was visiting, he immediately changed his address to a new one.

Li Ke looked at the location, emmm, in Beverly Hills.

To be honest, Li Ke was a little envious.

Looking at the houses, there are three or four suites in the area of ​​Los Angeles alone.

I live in a manor in Orange County for vacation, occasionally in a mansion in Beverly, and in a high-end apartment in the city all the time.

It is said that Kobe also owns a mansion worth tens of millions of dollars in Newport, Rhode Island, a summer resort...

What about the high property taxes in the United States?
When he arrived at the place, Li Ke finally understood why Kobe changed the meeting point to this place. There is also an open-air court in the mansion in Beverly Hills.

"Is sister-in-law not here?"

Kobe shook his head, his sister-in-law was not there, so naturally Natalia and Gianna were also gone.

Li Ke secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he called the Great Sage. Although the single defense has been promoted to A-level, if it is a one-on-one competition, without an S-level single defense, it is still not enough. After all, the current Kobe is the peak Kobe.

After chatting in the living room, Kobe ordered takeaway.

Don't get me wrong, it's not the McDonald's that Li Ke often ordered for Xiao Du, but the high-end takeaway from a Michelin restaurant.

While waiting for food, Kobe disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, the reappeared Kobe put on the Lakers' No. 24 jersey.

By the way, I also brought Li Ke a Lakers No. 8 jersey.

"Come on, let's go to the stadium."

go!
1v1, make an appointment!
This time, Li Ke didn't hesitate.

The reason for not being cowardly...

"It has been detected that an opponent whose strength is too far from the host is challenging the host, and the brave trait has been activated..."

Li Ke burst into tears, and finally, the father of the system appeared again.

He touched Kobe four times, except for the first time and this time, the son of the system did not appear in the middle two times.

The hit rate of four in two seems to be not bad?
But this is too much a test of the thickness of the skin. If he doesn't win this time, I'm afraid Kobe will doubt whether Li Ke just came here to eat.

On the open-air court, Kobe, No. 24, faced Sheldon Lee, No. 8. The only audience on the sidelines: Sun Dasheng.

The Keli battle is imminent.

The basketball was handed to Li Ke. Li Ke held the ball steadily, one crotch, his right foot tested it, and then retracted like lightning.

Kobe nervously paced back and forth...

Who is he, he is Kobe.

Who is Kobe, the king of heads-ups!
From the 96 draft to the present, he hasn't lost much.

Or even if he loses, he won't admit it!
As long as he doesn't admit it, he hasn't lost.

bang bang bang...

But at this moment, Li Ke turned around like lightning, rushed out two steps, and slapped the basketball coherently in his hands...

On the sidelines, the Great Sage was stunned: My God, is Brother Li so strong?

The Great Sage was fortunate enough to be abused by Kobe, and he also worked with Li Ke after returning to China, but the combat power displayed by Li Ke at this moment has exceeded his imagination.

Rush inside the three-point line, pull up, pull up, fadeaway jumper...

Swish!
Go in?
The ball is in!
Brother Li actually scored Kobe's goal!
The Great Sage's eyes widened, but he didn't expect that scoring one goal is nothing, Li Ke can score more!
"It's still your ball, Sheldon!"

Kobe's voice couldn't hear any emotion, but Li Ke could feel Kobe's urgency.

But this time Li Ke is different from last time.

Last time, he had just received all of Xiao Du's skills and talents, and he hadn't quite gotten used to it yet.

This time, he already knew a few specific sets of offensive play by heart.

bang bang bang...

Another high-frequency dribble, Li Ke suddenly started, Kobe turned sideways to chase back, but Li Ke pulled back instantly.

He jumped up from the spot and scored a three-pointer!
"Did you vote directly?"

Swish!
"my God!"

The basketball fell into the hoop, and Dasheng stared at Li Ke's position, his eyes widened.

This is... a three-pointer two steps from the three-point line?

This horse riding subverts cognition!
"It's still your ball..."

……

Ten balls passed in a flash. This time, Kobe lost again.

The process was similar to last time, he lost two first, then found two, then lost three, found three...

Until the tie was 8-8, Li Ke suddenly broke out and hit two mid-range shots in a row, ending the one-on-one.

"You lost again, Kobe."

But Kobe said silently: "Mitch Kupchak, that idiot!"

"?"

"I told him to send Lamar or Andrew away, and he didn't listen to me."

"..."

Li Ke touched his chin, okay, so there are more stories about the draft than he has heard.

Therefore, Kobe should have given Kupchak advice, but Kupchak refused.

As Kobe said, Kupchak is really an idiot.

The great sage on the side has been dumbfounded for a long time. Is this the strength of Brother Li?so scary...

……

After Kobe Bryant in World War II, Li Ke should have left Los Angeles, but perhaps it was a coincidence that David Falk just called:

"Sheldon, if you have time tomorrow, come to Los Angeles."

"I'm in Los Angeles, Mr. Falk..."

"That's just a coincidence. That's it. The AJ and Coca-Cola commercials are about to start shooting. You have to spare a day for it."

It is said to be shooting commercials, but in fact it is to get into a certain studio in Hollywood, take a few artistic photos wearing jerseys, and a short short film that cannot be simpler.

Art photos are what Coca-Cola wants. For the time being, they will not place TV commercials for Li Ke. As long as Li Ke's portrait rights are taken away, they will choose one of these art photos and print them on cans, and maybe also on some billboards on the street.

The short video is what AJ wants. It is a clip of Li Ke wearing AJ sneakers, slapping a basketball, jumping up and dunking.

Of course, there will be processing later.

As for how to deal with it, Li Ke is not very clear.

After filming the commercial in one day, Li Ke set off from Los Angeles to Charlotte.

The new season is finally here!
