Chapter 147 Lao Ai's debut (3.2k third update)
Before the official match against the Cavaliers, the Bobcats practiced together for a day, and this day was also the first time that Lao Ai and the Bobcats teammates played together.
Sam Vincent is an uninspired coach, absolutely right.
As soon as Lao Ai came, he formally put Lao Ai in the second position.
Then the Bobcats' back line became a 1-meter Feiton plus a 8-meter Lao Ai, a double-short combination.
Li Ke felt very familiar. Isn't this riding horse Abrams and DJ Augustine of the Longhorns?
Just because the back line is short, there is no problem in defense?
In the next game, the Bobcats' opponent is the Cavaliers. If they change to an opponent with strong players in the second and third positions, they will be blown up head-on!
Li Ke sighed, and his life of wiping his ass was about to start again.
The good news, though, is that the Bobcats' offense is well integrated.
Well, it's a bit empty to talk about running-in at this time, after all, it's just a joint practice session.
But Lao Ai's style is characterized by one word: take the ball and do it!
To put it bluntly, it is all kinds of singles, and Sam Vincent's tactical arrangement has become simple and rough. Set up a few screens, pull away, give the ball to Lao Ai, and let Lao Ai play singles.
Not to mention, during the team training, the efficiency is quite high. I don’t know about the actual combat, but look at Lao Ai’s opponent in the next game—Serbian Alexander Pavlovic, one of the first generation of guards with swords in front of the imperial court. He is good at three-pointers and not professional in defense.
"Then practice with the knight!"
The day before the game, the training was over, and Sam Vincent was a little worried about the progress of the newcomers' integration. As a result, Li Ke shouted, and Lao Ai also shouted excitedly: "That's right, let's start with the Cavaliers!"
Then, Lao Ai also pretended to be aggressive.
"It's still very important to make a good start. Do you know how many points I scored in my NBA debut?"
To be honest, Li Ke knew, but he really didn't want to say it.
"30 points! It's 30 points! I'm good at this kind of first show, first game and so on!"
At the end, he patted Li Ke: "Don't worry, Sheldon, I know the grievances between you and Lebang. In the next game, I will help you solve him."
Li Ke: -_-||
Li Ke felt that Lao Ai was doing something wrong, but he had no evidence. He just wanted to say that he and Le Bang really had no grudges.
But on the other hand, Li Ke also really believed that, playing knights, one cannot lose.
Just because Lebron treats people kindly doesn't mean his dog legs are kind to people. Brian Windhorst is always ready to bite people.
Regarding the Bobcats' losing streak some time ago, the Cleveland Candide has nothing to do with Charlotte, but they still want to write a report to tell the fans: Bobcats are losing streak!
Of course, it is limited to this. The dispute over the All-Star starter disappeared long after Li Ke's affirmative speech came out.
It's just that Li Ke and Le Bang are destined to become opposing parties in public opinion. If one wins, the other will inevitably be stepped down.
In this regard, both Li Ke and Le Bang can see clearly.
……
On the evening of January 1th, at the Time Warner Center, the game between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers was about to start.
The battle at North Shore Garden ignited the enthusiasm of Charlotte fans. Of course, more importantly, Iverson came.
A long time ago, when Sam Vincent was interviewed before the game, he mentioned: In this game, Iverson will not only play, but also start.
As a result, the tickets for the Iverson Bobcats debut were immediately sold out.
Before the game started, the Time Warner Center was surprisingly full!
Some people may question, does Iverson still have that popularity in the 07-08 season?
The answer is, yes!
In the All-Star voting, Iverson is the No.2 guard in the Western Conference, second only to Kobe and higher than Tracy McGrady, Nash, and Cannon.
As he was traded to the East, his All-Star voting relationship was also transferred to the East. Now, he is the No.3 guard in the East, second only to Wade and Kidd, and higher than Gentleman Ray, Carter and Arenas.
Originally, the game between the Bobcats and the Cavaliers was not broadcast live in the United States. Because of Iverson, TNT temporarily changed the plan for the national live broadcast, and assigned Reggie Miller and Magic Johnson, who were originally far away in Los Angeles.
The Time Warner Center began to erupt into wild cheers as the on-site host chanted a simple start for the ceremony to begin.
"The first appearance is the MOP of the NCAA Final Four, the No. 2007 rookie in the [-] draft, our future star, the Grim Reaper on the basketball court, the six-foot-six-inch swingman, Sheldon! Li Ke!"
Amidst the cheers, Li Ke was the first to appear on the stage. In fact, before Lao Ai came, he was the finale.
But today, in order to give Lao Ai respect, the finale position is given to Lao Ai.
Li Ke doesn't care too much about these imaginary things. If Lao Ai cares about these things, then I will give them all to Lao Ai. As long as you play well, everything will be fine!
and so--
"Finally, what came out was -- the scoring champion who made his debut in Philadelphia, the greatest 1 meters in history, and the answer on the court, Allen! Iverson!"
Wearing a sparse ditch hairstyle and wearing the No. 3 jersey of the Charlotte Bobcats, Allen Iverson stood on the court of Time Warner Center for the first time. He didn't know if it was a good start, he didn't know if he would spend a good time here, and he didn't know if he could have a perfect ending here.
He only knew that from the moment he left Denver Plateau, his career would start again.
"Allen Iverson has played, he has become the Allen Iverson of the Charlotte Bobcats, the No. 3 jersey is still the No. 3 jersey, look how he performed in the first game in Charlotte..."
Reggie Miller's voice sounded, and Iverson also stepped onto the court at the Time Warner Center at this moment.
Then, Lebron came from afar, stretched out his thick arms, and shouted: "Hey, Alan!"
Li Ke was behind Iverson and witnessed his new love being taken away, but then, he found an old acquaintance not alone at all.
"Sheldon!"
"Hey, Daniel!"
Daniel Gibson, a senior at the University of Deutschland, was a one-on-one witness between Li Ke and Tucker in the summer of 2006.
However, this meeting is already the second meeting between the two this season.
After chatting a few words on the sidelines, Le Bang still came to find him.
It's also a hug, I have to say, the strong Lebang, the embrace is very warm.
"Sheldon, is your opponent today me?"
"you guessed right."
"Then you have to show mercy."
Le Bang was joking, but with these words, Li Ke felt the difference between Le Bang and Kobe.
Kobe was straightforward and never told lies, but Lebron was the opposite, never saying a word of truth.
Be merciful, you say the opposite, Lebron!
Speaking of the 07-08 season, Lebron is still considered a young Zhan, but his average of 30+7+7 per game can be regarded as the peak.
Peak Lebang, what kind of terrifying existence is that?Even with an S-level single defense, Li Ke doesn't think he can 100% defend against Lebang.
In the middle circle, Lebron is standing opposite Li Ke, Pavlovich is standing opposite Lao Ai, and Larry Hughes is a guest guard. His opponent is Felton, a power forward, and Hua's second son will have a showdown with Drew Gooden.
Finally, Zarunas Ilgauskas of Lithuania stood opposite Nazr Mohammad, and as the referee tossed the ball over the Time Warner Center, the game officially started.
"Big Z beat Nazr, won the jump ball, and the Cavaliers opened the ball!"
Larry Hughes took control of the ball and quickly delivered it to the frontcourt.
LeBron was buried near the sideline and didn't seem to want to catch the ball.
So, Li Ke and Lebron became spectators on the court, watching Larry Hughes, relying on the cover of Big Z, rush in to make an emergency stop and hit the iron.
"Larry Hughes misses the first shot, the rebound is Gerald Wallace's!"
"Look at Bobcat's counterattack!"
Although Reggie Miller and Magic Johnson didn't comment much on the Bobcats' game, they were still impressed by the Bobcats' counterattack.
Especially Li Ke's various chasing three-pointers, mid-range shots and dunks.
But for this ball, the old Ai who had just arrived pulled his hips and didn't react at first. The frontcourt was just a three-on-three between Li Ke, Fei Dun and Hua's second son. Fei Dun, who was in control of the ball, had no choice but to slow down the rhythm.
When Lao Ai caught up and reached the frontcourt, the Bobcats could only play offense and defense for one half.
In the halftime offense and defense, Fei Dun didn't mess around, watching Lao Ai come over, he passed the ball directly.
So, amidst the cheers, Lao Ai hit the Bobcats' first ball just like that.
No screens, no pick-and-rolls, just him and Larry Hughes one-on-one...
That's right, it's not Pavlovich, but Larry Hughes, who defends the old AI. Mike Brown is very spiritual, knowing that Pavlovich can't defend Iverson, so he directly replaced Larry Hughes.
but……
When Lao Ai had one crotch on the left and one crotch on the right, after a large amount of ball control, he suddenly sprinted rapidly, and Larry Hughes, who was not in a hurry to turn around, just lost Lao Ai...
For this ball, Li Ke became a spectator again, and he could clearly feel how hard Lao Ai tried his best for this ball.
"He really wanted to get off to a good start, from the very first ball!"
Swish!
Lao Ai will naturally not miss the short-range throw.
Although it was just a simple breakthrough, throw, and hit, the Time Warner Center still burst into enthusiastic cheers.
The crisp netting sound was covered.
In the stands, in the private room, Boss Joe was sitting, next to Robert Johnson.
Boss Joe's expression was a bit complicated. Hearing the cheers in his ears, he thought: Is this the attraction of a star player?
Robert Johnson nodded in satisfaction, this is the role of star players!
Before Iverson came, the Bobcats' attendance rate was only 75%, that is to say, in the Time Warner Center, which can seat 19026 people, only more than 1 fans attended each game.
Based on the league's average ticket price of $50, the Bobcats lose $25 in revenue for one game, and a little over $1000 million for one season.
If Iverson can stimulate the Bobcats to have full attendance in every game, wouldn't the loss be filled?
On the court, Iverson, who scored the goal, was immediately congratulated by his teammates. Li Ke, Hua Er, and Fei Dun gave high fives one by one.
Fatton also yelled: "Nice job, AI!"
"Yes, this is a good start, Raymond, then continue to pass me like this!"
Iverson's response made Li Ke spit out a mouthful of young blood. Was this a good pass?
Because of the arrival of Lao Ai, Gerald Wallace, who had abdicated to the second child, didn't think so much. He only thought about the ball just now, and Drew Gooden in front of him was only one step away from him completely.
The arrival of this old Ai seems to have brought him many opportunities!
Li Ke was not surprised, as he said, what Shanmao lacked was actually Lao Ai, a single player.
