On February 15, the day after Valentine's Day, Li Ke and his teammates arrived in New Orleans.

This All-Star, Li Ke will have a Bobcat teammate with him in every game.

In the rookie match, the teammates are Lao Du, who is very good at playing in the team, and the All-Star Game. The teammates are Lao Ai, who has just been transferred for more than a month. In the shooting star competition, the teammates are Boss Qiao who suddenly wants to "come back" again.

Add to that Lauren Jackson who came from Seattle, this is all the participants of the All-Star Bobcats this time.

At this time, let's get a shot at the back of the game-

Without Li Ke, the Bobcats would be the little transparent person on the All-Star weekend, and no one even participated in the competition.

Lao Du averaged 6.6 points and 3.0 rebounds per game. Compared with many rookies in the same class, he actually has no advantages. Some people are better than him. For example, Yang Shaoxia, who averaged 7.2 points per game, Dai Quinn Cook, who averaged 8.8 points per game, and Al Soton, who averaged 11.6 points per game in the Clippers.

The reason why Lao Du was able to participate was that Sauton had a minor injury and quit, so he was vacant of a place, and the other was that Li Ke brought him a large number of fans on the other side of the ocean.

To put it bluntly, it is an entertainment event with popularity as the king. The same goes for the rookie competition. Let’s take a look at the two old guys in the rookie competition. Scola and Navarro are also relying on overseas popularity?

Then there is Lao Ai. Without Li Ke's advice, the Bobcats would not have introduced Lao Ai, and the grand occasion of the All-Star Bobcats starting the show would not have appeared.

Finally, it was Boss Qiao. Since the record of the three-point competition in 1990, Boss Qiao has rarely participated in this type of entertainment single event.

If it weren't for Li Ke, how could Boss Qiao have made such a hasty comeback because of an invitation from the league?

Looking at Boss Qiao's nervous look before leaving Charlotte, Boss Qiao was also afraid of setting another record.

So, without Li Ke, isn’t this New Orleans All-Star Weekend just a bit of a Bobcat scene?

But now it's different, New Orleans Louis Armstrong International Airport, the Bobcats stopped at the door of the terminal.

"I made an appointment with Patrick Ewing and the others. Do you want to go play together?"

Boss Qiao made an invitation and mentioned Ewing, who is now a magic assistant.

He and Ewing were doing everything they wanted to eat, drink, gamble, and they were just close friends who didn't do serious business. Gambling in Louisiana happened to be legal, so at the first moment, Li Ke guessed that Boss Qiao was trying to spend money again.

Lao Du was the first to raise his hand: "Go and go!"

However, Lao Ai rejected Boss Qiao and took his group of followers away.

Then, Boss Qiao's eyes turned to Li Ke and Lauren Jackson.

Li Ke wanted to go, and he was also jealous of Boss Qiao's tens of thousands of dollars, but he was helpless, he was too busy.

He raised his cell phone: "Sorry, Michael, I've got an appointment."

Looking at Lauren Jackson again, he shook his head: "I want to go to a hotel to rest. From Seattle to Charlotte and then to this place, I'm so tired."

He looked at Lao Du, who was lonely behind him, and then looked at Tim Graver behind Li Ke: "Where are you, Tim?"

“I’m working, Michael.”

"All right."

Just Jiang, Boss Qiao, who was a little disappointed, took Lao Du and headed straight to his amusement park.

Then, Li Ke turned his head and looked at Lauren Jackson: "Are you going to the hotel?"

The latter nodded, and Li Ke pointed to the special car sent by David Falke not far ahead: "I'll go to the hotel too, let's go together."

On the way to the hotel, Lauren Jackson was a little curious: "You said you had an appointment, but it turned out that you went to the hotel. Someone in the hotel asked you?"

"Yes, but that's just one of them."

“More than one?”

Lauren Jackson was a little surprised. Is this NBA rookie so popular?

Li Ke, naturally, could only nod helplessly. Speaking of which, his helpless look really tasted like Versailles literature.

That's right, Li Ke received more than one invitation.

Before he set off, Xiao Du and Kobe sent him a text message—

Xiao Du: "I can't wait to fight side by side with you again. For more details, let's talk about it!"

Li Ke replied ok, but he didn't use his All-Star starter to stimulate Xiao Du, because he felt that there was nothing to stimulate a starter who was so good.

Kobe: "What are you going to New Orleans? I'll go two days in advance."

When Li Ke returned a day in advance, Kobe was a little regretful: "See you in the game..."

For superstars, All-Star Weekend is not a stage that allows them to relax. Kobe is that the reason he feels regretful is that he has to participate in various activities starting the day before the All-Star Weekend.

I have no time with Li Ke one-on-one.

Li Ke is actually the same. In addition to Xiao Du and Cha, he also received a call from Yao before boarding the plane:

"Charity party? OK, I will definitely be there."

That’s right, Yao Yao recently launched a new Yao Fund. Taking advantage of this All-Star opportunity, he is preparing to hold a charity party. As a motherland, Li Ke certainly needs to support him.

Finally, David Falke, who commanded from a distance: "Sheldon, remember to have a good rest on the first day of New Orleans. From the next day, you will start to be busy. Early in the morning, you have to..."

Li Ke was very excited by the itinerary one after another.

He was busy, so he really didn't have time to earn the tens of thousands of dollars from Old Qiao's. After getting off the plane, he rushed to the hotel and saw Xiao Du first.

After all, the rookie competition will start tomorrow night, and time will not wait for anyone!

Like Xiao Du, Li Ke also attaches great importance to his and Xiao Du's reunion. If he and Xiao Du are one by one in the future, there will be the opportunity to fight side by side at most next year.

When he arrived at the hotel, he checked in and parted ways with Lauren Jackson. Li Ke quickly found Xiao Du's room and knocked on the door.

"Hey, Kevin, what are you doing? Surf the Internet?"

The door was opened, Li Ke and Xiao Du hammered each other a few times, greeted each other enthusiastically, and then Li Ke saw the slightly bright laptop screen in the room.

But Xiao Du suddenly reacted and closed the notebook, explaining embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's too boring, I'll just take a look."

This explanation made Li Ke touch his chin. After many years of watching history, Conan thought that this matter was never simple.

"By the way, your Facebook account is kevin    durant, right?"

"Yes, what?"

"I can't see your updates anymore, I thought..." Li Ke spread his hands and inadvertently tempted: "I thought you changed another number?"

"No, well, I just... I'm using Twitter a little more recently."

Xiao Du’s explanation was very unnatural, and Li Ke naturally wanted to chase and fight: “Oh, then what is your Twitter account? I’ll remember it.”

"Uh..." Xiao Du hesitated for a long time, "easymoneysniper, that's right, that's it."

"Wow, a very arrogant name!"

Li Ke immediately sighed. The name is indeed crazy. Easymoney means a cold-blooded killer who scores easily, and Sniper means a sniper, but it can also be translated as an omnipotent scorer on the court.

This little Du, where is it?

Obviously, Xiao Du can't suppress this name now.

Xiao Dumo was naturally very nervous: "Sheldon, don't say it out, this Twitter is still kept confidential for the time being."

"I know."

Li Ke stopped touching his chin, so he decided to search for this Twitter account when he went back to see if Xiao Du made any shocking remarks.

"Then let's talk about the serious business. Do you have any ideas for tomorrow's game?"

Xiao Du slapped the table: "Of course, I will take the first grade to defeat the second grade!"

First grade defeated second grade?

Li Ke glared at him, Xiao Du was very ambitious.

"I'm not kidding, Sheldon." Xiao Du continued,

"Do you know? Are those so arrogant group of second-year players? They are already dividing MVPs in the rookie game! Lamarcus said that MVP is not his or his teammate Blanton Roy's, and Rudy Guy..."

Li Ke pressed his hand: "Okay, OK, Kevin, it's not easy to win the second grade in the first grade. You know, the first grade has lost five times in a row. Tell me what you think..."

"It's very simple. The second-year team, to put it bluntly, is Brandon Roy's team. As long as you lock Brandon Roy, I'll solve the rest!"

After saying a word, looking at Li Ke with a questioning face, Xiao Du added: "Just like last year's longhorn cow."

Li Ke ignored him: "So, what you mean is, I'll do dirty work and tiring work, can you pick up that MVP trophy?"

"Don't have internal strife at this time. Sheldon, you know, I have to deal with Lamarcus too..."

"Okay OK, then just follow what you said."

Li Ke hammered Xiao Du. To be honest, he was really not interested in the rookie competition, even the trophy.

Xiao Du wanted to try it, so let him try it.

...

After chatting with Xiao Du, Li Ke went back to his room to sleep.

Then the next morning, he encountered Melon, Lebang, Wade on a bus departing for the nearby nursing home...

That’s right, on the All-Star Weekend, every star player who participates has to participate in a social care campaign. Some will go to welfare homes, some will go to nursing homes, and some will go to the streets.

Star players will also form teams, of course, it is usually arranged by the league.
To be continued...
