Chapter 21 47 Combinations and the New Normal (3.3k(1/2)
The Bobcats rushed back to Charlotte from Houston overnight. After all, in the next game, they will start their home game.
At this time, you can save a hotel money by returning overnight.
In NBA, this is a place where players are millionaires, and staying in a hotel must be a four- or five-star hotel. A team counts as many as 20 coaches, and saving a night is a lot of money.
For Bobcats, who have been losing money for many years after entering the league, turning losses into profits started with one seemingly inconspicuous stingy transaction after another.
When Li Ke and his teammates arrived in Charlotte overnight, it was already past one o'clock in the evening.
Head coach Sam Vincent immediately announced that he would have a day off.
There was a cheer at the airport terminal, and the teammates scattered.
He hurried home and slept for more than five hours. Li Ke, who opened his eyes again, saw the sunshine in front of the bed at first sight...
Damn it!
He was shocked and sat up immediately, then remembered that Tim Graver said that the breakfast club was closed on the first morning he returned from the away game.
Thinking of this, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he had not trained, he was not very anxious. He got up slowly, put on a casual clothes, and then turned on the TV.
"In yesterday's game, Sheldon Lee scored 47 points against Tracy McGrie and Sean Bathier, setting a single-game scoring record for rookies this season, and led the Charlotte Bobcats to two consecutive victories since the start of the new season..."
"Oh my God, the rookie scored 47 points, and the opponent is still Timike. Do you know what I thought of at the first time... Yes, Michael Jordan finally proved his vision."
"And, last year's No. 6 rookie was elected as the best rookie. Will you change it to the No. 8 rookie this year?"
"NBA executives are used to using the No. 1 pick and No. 1 pick to choose potential newcomers, but they don't know if they are really trustworthy or what is called fighting power? For example, Sheldon Lee?"
“…”
The early morning program of tnt sports channel, the tweets of the brick house made Li Ke feel good and even a little happy.
The newspapers placed on the breakfast table are all flattering when you open the page.
"Charlotte Observer": Halloween scored 47 points, Sheldon Lee has become the best rookie of the season!
"Sports Illustrated": The God of Death is reappearing, Halloween battle, Sheldon's 7 mid-range draws harvesting matches!
"Basketball Times": Best Halloween Dress Up: Sheldon Lee in Michael Jordan jersey!
“It’s so comfortable!”
Li Ke opened his phone and found a text message from Westbrook after the game ended yesterday.
"Sheldon, 47 points in a single game, you're awesome! Hey, do you know how much I want to skip NCAA and go to NBA to achieve great things..."
Li Ke was able to read the strong envy and desire for NBA in this text. Speaking of which, it is time for Westbrook to shine in the new season.
Then, Li Ke opened the text message directory between him and Xiao Du, and the historical record was frozen after Xiao Du made 7 of 22 shots in the last game. Li Ke jokingly congratulated him.
"Kevin, 7 out of 22, a great start, I have even thought of your nickname - 'Iron King of Generation'!"
Xiao Du only replied with two words: "fk u!"
After last night's game, Xiao Du was completely unmoved.
At this time, Li Ke, who wanted to share his happiness, was even more eager to see WeChat appear.
He can take photos of the front pages of these newspapers like he did in his previous life and then post them on his Moments.
Or, form a group chat and post the battle report of the game to the group as if showing off...
...
On the second day of Halloween, Xiao Du and his supersonics appeared in Phoenix.
As night fell and the game started, the sound of jingling irons sounded in the Western American Arena.
Facing the defense of hacker Sean Marion, the second-tier Du encountered trouble. At the beginning, he even smashed three irons and only shot one of four balls.
Four-resistance to three irons, which has a very good style as Kobe.
The Supersonics also quickly fell behind by a large score. Of course, they never thought of winning this game.
The opponent is Phoenix Suns, one of the top teams in the West. Supersonics has long been holding the mentality of losing less and losing as a win.
Although he even smashed the third iron at the beginning, Xiao Du still did not stop his steps. With a clang, he smashed the fourth iron.
Then there was another clang, the fifth iron...
Even so, he still shoots without hesitation. Who can give the team management unlimited fire rights?
As he shot like this, Xiao Du made a move.
As soon as the second quarter began, he suddenly made three-pointers, which shocked the Phoenixes in a cold sweat.
They were already relaxed, but anyway, the winning goal is about to happen, so the Suns are not going to waste time on such an opponent.
Seeing Xiao Du suddenly erupt, I clapped my hands: "Guys, don't relax your guard, we have to make sure we win this game!"
Then, the Phoenix took the lead...
In the third quarter, the sound of iron clanging and striking the iron less, and the sound of the basketball hollowing into the basket became more and more.
In the fourth quarter, the Phoenix made a historical team attack, with a 7-second attack, and a single shot was shot...
Xiao Du headed towards the goal of 34 attacks, and he didn't care whether he entered or not. He threw the opportunity out, and then he silently recited a number in every round.
So much so that Sean Marion misunderstood.
"Rookie, are you calculating how many points you have lost?"
Xiao Du shut up and continued to take action...
That's it, after the forty-eight minutes of the game—
"It's so miserable, it's so miserable!"
"A score of 143 to 96, the Phoenix Suns completed the massacre of the Supersonics!"
On the court, Xiao Du looked up at the score. With his poor math, he calculated about a minute and calculated a very familiar number - 47!
"A 47-point defeat is a very familiar number."
"Yes, KD's former college teammate Sheldon Lee just scored 47 points in yesterday's game. Turning around, he lost 47 points in the next day's game."
"The cooperation is very tacit, which reminds me that they are still a combination..."
Charlotte, Li Ke in front of the TV showed a bad friend's smile, but when he heard McBrien open his mouth and say the name of the group, his eyelids twitched.
"Sheit combination."
Depend on!
Is it endless?
Although she was smiling happily, Li Ke still edited a comforting text message and sent it over.
"Kevin, we're all just on the road..."
Phoenix City, Xiao Du just got his statistics. He accidentally shot one more. He made 14 of 35 shots and happened to shoot a 40% shooting percentage, scoring 37 points.
He lost 47 points, shot one more than Li Ke, but scored 6 fewer and scored 10 fewer...
Of course, Xiao Du was in a bad mood, and he ignored Li Ke's text messages at all.
I just made a secret decision: This game doesn't count, I will come back again...
...
After the Halloween battle, the Bobcats, who won two consecutive victories, stayed in Charlotte for two days, and then ushered in the third game of the season, with the opponent being the Kings of Sacramento who came to challenge.
As a popular rookie who scored 47 points in the previous focus match, Li Ke naturally became the focus of media pursuit.
When the reporter asked: "You scored 47 points in the last game, and Kevin Durant lost 47 points in the last game. As a teammate in college, he even formed a group called Shet. What do you think about such coincidence?"
Of course, Li Ke frowned. Why is the combination of Shett, not over yet!
However, there is a good opportunity to change the name of the Shetter group.
"It's really a coincidence, so coincidental that I think the combination of Kevin and I should change my name."
The reporter showed a questioning expression and made an listening action.
"I got 47 points in the 47 combination, and he lost 47 points. The 47 combination is just right!"
Seeing that the reporter just smiled faintly and seemed not keen on this, Li Ke thought about it and decided to use his big move: "emmm, it's not enough for us alone, we can also pull Kobe."
"Kobe?"
At this time, the reporter in front of him showed a look of surprise and became very concerned.
"Yes, Kobe, I remember there was a game he took 47 shots..."
“4717?”
Listening to the reporter accurately telling the game, Li Ke nodded with satisfaction
Li Ke was happy before the game started, and the Shett combination was gone forever, and the 47 combination will sweep the whole of the United States overnight...
But after the game began, he felt the malice brought by the number 47-
