Chapter 359 Cough
"Sheldon? Sheldon! Time to wake up, Sheldon..."
There was a slight urging in his ear, and Li Ke opened his eyes with some difficulty.
He saw Emma Roberts, who was frowning slightly, her beautiful face was slightly doubled at this moment.
My whole body felt like it was burning hot, but I felt weak all over and had a splitting headache.
Li Ke struggled to sit up on the big bed that could sleep more than ten people.
Sniffing his nose, he realized that his nose was also tightly blocked.
"What's wrong with me?"
Li Ke has already realized it, but he still wants to confirm it.
Emma Roberts quickly pulled out a thermometer: "39° high fever, you have a cold."
"How can I catch a cold?"
"What do you say?"
Emma Roberts rolled her eyes, and Li Ke just remembered.
He took Emma Roberts back to his residence in Charlotte last night, and the summer heat couldn't stop a big fight after a big fight.
He turned on the air conditioner, blowing air-conditioning, again and again...
Relying on his good health, Li Ke just caught a cold and a fever.
"Gan!"
Standing up by supporting the edge of the bed, Li Ke clearly felt the weakness all over his body.
"How can we fight this Eastern Conference finals?"
Emma Roberts wanted to support Li Ke, but Li Ke refused. Although she was exhausted all over, she was able to walk around without any problem.
When he arrived at the restaurant, he took a bite of the sandwich, which was tasteless, and then he remembered——
"Just give Doug a call..."
Rivers soon found out about Li Ke's cold and fever. He gave Li Ke a vacation and sent a team of team doctors to Li Ke's home.
By the way, he also comforted Li Ke: "Don't worry, Sheldon, there are three days of rest between G2 and G1, take good care of it, enough time for you to recover."
……
After hanging up the phone, Rivers also frowned.
Anyone can say comforting words, but he knows the truth.
The three full days of work and calculation are indeed enough for Li Ke to recover his health, but a disease like a cold and fever can do a huge damage to his physical condition.
Two or three days is not enough for Li Ke to recover to the peak of his physical condition.
Thinking about G1 again, if it weren't for Li Ke's 43 points to support the Bobcats' offense, the outcome of the game would really be hard to say.
Without Li Ke at his peak in G2, the game was immediately full of suspense.
"Sheldon has a cold..."
"Cold? Is it serious?"
Rivers, who hung up the phone, told his coaching staff the news immediately. Gentry's first reaction was whether it was a serious cold.
If it's just a small cold, it's not a big problem, but if it's a cold with a high fever, it's a big problem.
"According to him, a high fever of 39°..."
"FK!"
"Today is May 5th, and on the evening of May 16th, we are about to play G5 in the Eastern Conference finals. It is impossible to expect Sheldon to recover 18%..."
Rivers shook his head, and he seriously proposed: "We have to prepare a plan without Sheldon."
Turning around, he seemed to suddenly think: "By the way, temporarily block the news..."
……
Rivers wanted to block the news that Li Ke had a cold and fever, but...
The media kept an eye on the Bobcats training hall, and regardless of whether there was any big news happening, it was right to keep an eye on it.
As a result, they really made them stare at a——
"It's nine o'clock, and Sheldon didn't show up?"
An ESPN reporter glanced at the time and raised his question.
The reporter of Yahoo Sports was not surprised: "Don't you know? Sheldon usually arrives at the training hall at five or six o'clock, unless you are here to stare at four o'clock."
The ESPN reporter really nodded: "I was here after the game last night..."
"This……"
"Sheldon really didn't show up?"
"There is a problem!"
Now that the problem is found, the next step is to dig deeper.
Soon, a group of reporters rushed to Li Ke's residence in Charlotte and continued to stay.
Then, they found the Bobcats team doctor coming out of the residence.
Now, "what the hell went wrong with Sheldon" has a tangible direction.
At noon on May 5, ESPN, Yahoo Sports, and bleachers successively issued reports——
"The Bobcats practiced together after the game day, but Sheldon was nowhere to be seen. Where did he go?"
"After G1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, Sheldon was absent from the joint practice, and the team doctor came in and out of the house, injured?"
"The team doctor was in and out of Sheldon's mansion in Charlotte, he was injured?"
"..."
All kinds of guesses, even most of them are serious guesses.
For example, ESPN, without any real evidence, made a bold guess: Li Ke must have suffered some serious injuries, and they are afraid that they will directly withdraw from the Eastern Conference Finals.
In this case, Rivers, who wanted to hide it, could only stand up and tell: "Sheldon is not injured, he just has a cold."
It's just a cold, which doesn't sound that serious.
On the 18th, Li Ke, who had been bored at home for two days, went out for the first time.
Two days passed, Li Ke's high fever subsided, and the symptoms of the cold also disappeared.
It's just that he has no appetite for the past two days, he eats very little, and the training has stopped. He has just recovered, and he is still a little weak.
"Today's match is difficult..."
As soon as he went out, the group of reporters gathered around the door gathered, taking pictures and asking questions.
A cold is inevitable, but the question is, how much impact will this cold have.
As they got closer, some of the journalists with sharp eyes found out:
Li Ke's face was pale, his footsteps were sloppy, and his condition was obviously very bad.
"In this state, how will we play tonight's game?"
With doubts, the gathered group of reporters immediately looked like peddlers in the vegetable market, asking a question with the same general meaning——
"Sheldon, will you play tonight's game?"
Li Ke didn't want to answer, he waved his hand, got into the car, closed the door, and let the driver drive away.
Even so, the reporters confirmed that Li Ke would play through the Bobcats' report to the league's activation list in the afternoon.
Therefore, before the game, ESPN, bleachers and other major media used a snapped photo as a pre-match report for the game.
In the photo, Li Ke's powerlessness and vanity are visible to the naked eye.
The media reporters also added text-"Can Sheldon lead the Bobcats to continue to win in such a state?"
In Cleveland, Candide even gloated before the game: "Anecdotally, Sheldon Lee's cold and fever came from his affair with Emma Roberts. Who would have thought that it was a woman who killed the Bobcats?"
What this said, it seems that G2's Bobcats are doomed.
The fact is, after the flamboyant Li Ke appeared in front of the public, public opinion has turned to the knight.
"Sheldon, who scored 1 points in G43, was in poor condition due to a cold and a fever. The Bobcats in G2 should be very difficult to beat the Cavaliers of the Big Three. The total score of 1 to 1 has been scheduled..."
……
On the evening of May 5th, Time Warner Center, home team locker room.
Li Ke, who was still weak, lay on the physiotherapy bed temporarily moved in the center of the locker room. The team's physiotherapist aunt was relaxing Li Ke's muscles while sitting.
Rivers knew that although he had made a plan without Li Ke, deep down in his heart, he still hoped that Li Ke could stand up and make some contributions.
Before the game, it was time to arrange tactics for the team. Rivers walked up to Li Ke, bent over and lowered his head, and asked in Li Ke's ear:
"Sheldon, are you okay? I want to be honest."
Li Ke knew that Rivers' question before the game was to ask whether the Bobcats could still play around him in this game.
To be honest, Li Ke was not so confident anymore, he shook his head: "Just pretend that this game is without me, Doug."
"Okay, I see."
Afterwards, Rivers patted the tactical board and laid out the tactical play of the game in detail.
The change is actually very simple, just let the Bobcats return to the first 18 games of the regular season.
At that time without Li Ke, the Bobcats were also playing well.
In this game, he only needs to treat Li Ke as an ordinary outside shooter and defender, and nothing else needs to be changed.
The main attacker was replaced by Curry, and against the player who defended Lebon, Rivers was planning to change to Captain Jack at the beginning.
Li Ke raised his hand and refused, confidently: "Leave LeBron to me. Although I'm not in shape, it's still no problem to defend against LeBron."
After all, he is always defending against Lebron. He has defended a lot and is familiar with the road. He is very aware of Lebang's weaknesses.
He doesn't believe in Captain Jack, but more in himself.
At the Time Warner Center, every game in the playoffs will have a grand entrance ceremony.
The home team will play after the visiting team. To a certain extent, this is also a kind of disarming power.
So, before the home team appeared, the Cavaliers players filed out of the locker room and walked through the long tunnel.
Suddenly, there was a coughing sound from the crowd.
Lebron raised his head and saw Wade covering his mouth with his hand, he froze for a moment.
"Hear me coughing? One of them is sick..."
Wade smiled, his two big cheeks sticking out.
Le Bang reacted, smiled too, pulled up his T-shirt, covered his mouth, and coughed twice.
Li Ke, who was still lying in the locker room, didn't know that his unexpected cold and fever caused the coughing door of the finals in his previous life to reappear in this time and space.
The clown-like performances of Lebron and Wade made the reporters following the film frown.
He clearly realized that as long as this scene is released, it will definitely spark heated discussions.
So, he sneaked aside, not letting Lebron's team notice him.
He knew that as long as Lebron's team was watching, the scene he captured would definitely not be published.
……
"Finally, let us welcome - 2008 championship, FMVP winner, NBA Rookie of the Year, Most Improved Player, winner of first-team defense, Elvis Presley, Chosen One - Sheldon~Lee! Li Ke!"
Amidst the cheers from the Time Warner Center, Li Ke waved his hands and slowly entered the stage.
It seems that he is indeed not as active as G1, and the influence of the cold and fever is real.
Not far away, on the Cavaliers' bench, Wade and Lebron, who hadn't realized their ugliness was photographed by reporters, looked at Li Ke, who was powerless, and suddenly looked at each other, revealing a sly smile.
Soon, both sides started to play.
For the Bobcats: point guard Curry, shooting guard Li Ke, small forward Captain Jack, power forward Jamison, and center Jordan Jr.
Cavaliers side: point guard Randy Foye, shooting guard Wade, small forward Le Bon, power forward Bosh, center Varejao.
Artest was not suspended, but he did not start this game either.
I don't know if Larry Brown thinks that Li Ke in this game doesn't need Artest to pester him, or if he realizes that offense is more important.
In short, the Cavaliers changed the starting lineup for this game.
Of course, the Bobcats have also changed, and Jamison's debut is to let the formation return to the beginning of the season.
More offensive threat points are also conducive to Curry's performance.
……
With a beep, Dan Crawford, the referee of the game, threw the basketball over the arena.
Jordan jumped up and dialed the basketball.
Curry holds the ball, drives upcourt, and the game begins.
Unlike the Bobcats with Li Ke, Li Ke, who plays an ordinary pitcher, can't occupy the area on the top side of the arc and don't let go.
He and Jamison, who should have shrunk to the bottom corner, exchanged positions.
Then on the other side, Curry first passed the ball to Captain Jack. After a hand-to-hand change, Curry received the ball again, rushed a few steps, and threw a mid-range shot against Randy Foye's defense.
Bang!
The basketball hits the hoop, and the commentators, Jeff Van Gundy and Reggie Miller have discovered the difference for the Bobcats.
"Stephen Curry is the first to attack, and Sheldon has a high fever after a cold. This game should take a little longer."
Reggie Miller shook his head: "But in the first attack at the beginning, Curry's attack was really no threat. He was far worse than Sheldon."
"This game for the Bobcats, it's kind of tough."
Under the basket, Varejao grabbed the rebound.
After the offensive and defensive transition, the knight's turn.
Before halftime, Lebron took over the basketball, and he saw Li Ke waiting for him in the frontcourt.
The difference from G1 is that he gradually rushed out at a faster speed, rushing towards Li Ke's defense without evasion.
"The quarterback offense is coming!"
"LeBron charged up, Sheldon tried to block, but he couldn't withstand the impact of LeBron..."
Yes, that's right, Li Ke failed to withstand Le Bang's impact.
Peak Lebron's basketball is very similar to that of the peak stepping brother, and he can't hold back when he rushes.
Li Ke, who is in peak form, is one of the few who can hold him back. At the same time, some teams with high defensive discipline can also rely on zone defense to contain Lebron.
But in this game, Li Ke couldn't hold back Lebron, and the Bobcats' defensive discipline was just average.
LeBon made a rush at the beginning of the game, rushed to the basket, and made an easy layup.
"It's done!"
"LeBron James' layup!"
"Don't have to face a Sheldon in peak form, LeBron, who has almost no success in G1 quarterback attack, the opening of this game is a hit!"
Li Ke frowned, he realized that he might have overestimated himself at this time.
In the Bobcats' offense, Curry continued to look for opportunities to get rid of Randy Foye and misplaced singles without the ball.
But in this wave of offense, Curry still hit the iron.
Turning around to counterattack the Cavaliers, Lebron charged again.
A wave rushed to the depths of the Bobcats' penalty area, forcing Jordan to double-team, and then a split ball found Randy Foye on the outside.
Swish-!
In this way, in the opening game, the Cavaliers beat the Bobcats 5-0.
An out-of-state Li Ke seems to have indeed given the Cavaliers a chance to win back...
