At the Ezod Center in New Jersey, Li Ke and Jimmy Butler hugged each other on the court.

Jiba is the No. 10 rookie this year, the core of the reconstruction and future of the Nets in the post-Kidd era.

But this season, Jiba didn't get much playing time because, above his head, there was also Vince Carter who occupied the position and the ball.

It’s not that the Nets have not made up their minds to play the game, but that Carter really can’t sell at the price in the past two seasons, and the Nets don’t want to take action at will, so Carter stayed there...

The hugs and friendly exchanges before the game did not prevent Li Ke and Jiba from fighting with each other after the game started.

Speaking of which, the Nets' record this season is not bad.

Because their paper lineup is not bad, Devin Harris Gavinscarter's defender combination, small forward Giba, is the inside player of this year's No. 21 rookie Ryan Anderson, partnered with Danga Zuric.

Although it does not reach the intensity of the playoff level, at least, this Nets are still stronger than many tank teams.

Since December, since Lao Ai gradually found his state, the bobcat also has the meaning of being a master of abuse.

When facing opponents who are weaker than themselves, they do not hesitate to give them any upset opportunities.

This game is a typical example of this - offensive end, Li Ke fought against Jiba, and the defensive end, but he switched to Carter and used his superb defensive consciousness to turn into Kobe in the form of a locked Carter and frantically made a fuss.

In the away game, the Bobcats easily won.

Then he returned to the home court and fought again. The Bobcats won with almost the same move.

After two games, the 2008 NBA ended.

Throughout December, the Bobcats achieved excellent results of 14 wins and 2 losses, and their condition recovered significantly.

The victory of the second battle against the Cavaliers and the victory of the Christmas battle against the Rockets made media reporters and expert commentators re-examine the bobcats.

The words and descriptions of the popular champion, the strong contender for the championship, have returned to the Bobcats.

Of course, for Li Ke, what is more important is-

On January 1, he touched a new trophy, a trophy called Player of the Month.

"NBA 2008-09 season, December Player of the Month, East: Li Ke, West: Kobe Bryant!"

Let’s talk about Kobe, who averaged 28.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game, and his 11 wins and 4 losses, made him deserve the best trophy of the month without any suspense.

But in the East, the ownership of the Player of the Month is still somewhat suspense.

Li Ke needs to face the competition this month's average of 29.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.2 blocks, 9 wins and 4 losses.

In terms of personal data, Li Ke was at a disadvantage. He averaged only 25.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 2.6 steals, 0.8 blocks per game.

But with a record of 14 wins and 2 losses, Li Ke finally won.

This month is the best, and it is also the best month of Li Ke's career.

...

As time goes by 2009, the schedule of January has become closer.

The Bobcats know the reason. At the end of January, they need to cross the Pacific Ocean and go to the other side of the ocean to stage a Spring Festival battle with the Lakers.

Before and after, the bobcats need too much preparation time and rest time.

Therefore, the league can only accumulate more games before the Spring Festival battle.

As for why it is not placed after the Spring Festival war, emmm...

After the Spring Festival War, there will be an All-Star Weekend and more important playoffs. Therefore, putting the game before the Spring Festival War is a better choice.

The first battle in the New Year, the Bobcats fight the Bucks.

The Bucks have ambitions this season. They did not send Alien to the Nets like they did in their previous lives. However, Richard Jefferson still joined the Bucks and formed a double-gun from the outside with Reed.

With Bodote in the inside, the Bucks struggled on the edge of the playoffs.

In this game, Li Ke was the one who defended Reed, and he thought it would be another victory to abuse the food.

As a result, Richard Jefferson exploded unexpectedly.

The Bucks took the lead for a while, but...

In the third quarter of the game, Li Ke beat Reed on his back, turned around and broke through, and reached the basket, and Bogou Te directly crossed his elbow...

Bang!

Although the referee blew the whistle in time, Li Ke was still angry because this elbow was too dirty!

He stood up and angrily criticized Bodote, but Bodote responded in various ways.

Therefore, in the second half of the game, the Bucks could only face Li Ke's anger at home.

Crazy three-pointer, the breakthrough to the extreme, the sweeping continuous score...

The bucks were killed by an angry Li Ke.

...

In the second game in January, the Bobcats beat the Knicks at home again.

Then they won the Cavaliers and the 76ers in a row until January 9, when they met the Lakers. Li Ke couldn't help but win the red eyes. Kobe, who scored 44 points alone, ended the Bobcats' winning streak.

After this loss, the Bobcats returned to the right track, winning streak of away games against the Wizards and the Pistons, but after returning to home, they lost to the Spurs and the Trail Blazers in a row.

He won a game between the Grizzlies and lost a row, but then immediately lost another game between the Suns.

After all the battles of abuse and losing the strong, the Spring Festival battle is almost in front of you.
Chapter completed!
