Chapter 21 Trash talk is useful

With a blocking shot, it was on the front page of "USA Today", Li Ke finally made a splash in North America.

At least, after this game, ncaa practitioners already know:

This year's University of Texas Longhorns have a freshman from China. They play forward with excellent defense, good at cutting and scoring, and excellent speed and strength.

He has averaged 11.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2 steals per game so far in the preseason...

In NCAA, Li Ke is already a rival worthy of attention.

This is immediately reflected in the next preseason at the University of Texas, whose opponent is from the Holy Cross College of the Patriots League.

In order not to let Li Ke's defense threaten their number one scorer, Keith Simmons, Holy Cross Academy has added a lot of pick-and-roll offenses they have not played before.

But it was useless. Xiao Du's peripheral projection directly threw the class bully in this small league.

Just two days later, the University of Germany faced the challenge of Vimont University in the US and the Spanish League.

This time the opponent was very bachelor. They directly released the team's top scorer Mike Trimpoli to attract and restrain Li Ke's defense, and then stuffed the ball to the second scorer Joe Trapani.

Facing the short outside combination of the University of Texas, Joe Trapani scored repeatedly and was not inefficient.

But the huge gap in strength still made Vimont lose the game.

The University of Texas won consecutive victories, which was even more unstoppable, and Li Ke's performance was getting better and better.

But in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated, he still hasn't found his name in the draft prediction list.

Du Xiao is still the No. 1 pick on the list, but Greg Oden is still the No. 1 pick on the list.

Despite this, Xiao Du still couldn't be happy. He always felt that as long as Oden appeared in the game and performed with a qualified performance, he would immediately lose his current No. 1 pick and become the second in the United States again.

So, he repeatedly complained in front of Li Ke: "He obviously didn't play a game..."

Li Ke could only sigh inwardly: The essence of human beings is a repeater.

The same thing, Xiao Du has said it many times.

However, even Li Ke himself didn't pay attention, and he was actually repeating the exam.

"I'm still not on the list, Kevin, I'm afraid you have to go to NBA first, and I can only stay in NCAA for an extra year."

Li Ke has said something like this many times.

In the past, Xiao Du always comforted Li Ke: There is nothing wrong with playing two more seasons in NCAA.

This time, things seem to have changed.

"No, Sheldon, the preseason is just an appetizer, the highlight is the regular season and regular season in the future. After playing the regular season and regular season, with your current strength, you will definitely be favored by the NBA."

Li Ke did not notice the differences between Xiao Du, but he was very satisfied with Xiao Du's latest comfort.

He agrees with Xiao Du very much that the preseason is just an appetizer. Judging from the schedule, too many weak teams in the minor league and its warm-up nature have led to such a game, which is destined to have low attention.

The next regular season and regular season are different. The regular season determines rankings, and the routine match determines who is the top seed in the Big 12th League. Almost every game is a bayonet-like game.

Especially when facing opponents like the University of Kansas Jayhawks, facing Brandon Rush, the Best Newcomer Team member, Julian Wright, and the Future NCAA Final Four MOP Mario Chamos...

Every game, every match, every moment is a chance for Li Ke to prove himself.

...

In the final game of the preseason, the University of Texas's opponent was the Davidson College of the Southern Conference.

Li Ke always felt that he had heard of the name Davidson Academy. When Rick Barnes read out the name of the top scorer of this small league class bully, Li Ke suddenly realized.

"Stephen Curry, this guy is Dell Curry's son. Like his father, he is good at long-term shooting..."

"He is also a freshman. I have to say that he is underestimated. During the admissions season, none of the traditional prestigious schools were willing to ask for him..."

"In the end, I could only go to Davidson Academy in the Southern League, but now, his performance in the minor league is only slightly worse than Kevin. They are all phenomenal, but they lose a little bit. Considering that they are in the minor league and have no strong teammates, many people will get their evaluations of him one level."

"That's about the same as Kevin..."

Rick Barnes then turned to Li Ke: "Sheldon, the old rules, he will leave it to you."

Li Ke happily accepted this brand new opponent.

"First, the Third Young Master Thunder, and now there is a cute god Curry. By the way, compared to Xiao Du, this guy's three-pointer should be more suitable for me."

Unfortunately, it will be difficult for the University of Texas to meet Davidson College again after this preseason game.

This means that if Li Ke chooses to run for the NBA after the end of this season, his next encounter with Curry will be two or three years later.

Perhaps because of realizing this, Li Ke has been very active since his debut in the final game of this preseason.

Not only did Curry put a lot of pressure on the defensive end, he also beat his chest and roared in various ways, showing his passionate side.

Unlike usual, he also said a lot more.

When Curry staggered with his strength on the defensive end, he would open his mouth to mock him: "Stephen, you are too thin. Before I could use all my strength, you are about to fall down."

When he jumped high and blocked Curry's sight with both hands, he would open his mouth to mock him: "Stephen, you are too short, I dare not jump too high, otherwise you will stare at my crotch and shoot."

When he quickly stole Curry and completed the counterattack, he still opened his mouth to mock him: "It's so easy, it's so easy."

Until the end of the game, the University of Texas won an easy victory, and Stephen Curry, who performed poorly while losing the ball, threw a sentence in a cold face: "You are an annoying opponent. I really want to block your mouth with Sander's smelly socks, and you are waiting, I will definitely beat you up next time I see you."

Sand is a power forward at Davidson Academy. He looks very abstract and seems a little sloppy. He seems to have not taken a shower for several months. His curly hair is shiny and icy. His exposed skin can even see a layer of mud floating on the surface.

Throughout the game, a odor lingered in the stadium in Frank Irving Center.

Du, who faced Sander, applied for defense change several times, but did not get Rick Barnes' permission.

Rick Barnes even teased: "That guy is a chemical weapon cultivated by Davidson Academy. Others can't deal with it. Only you, Kevin, and you can deal with him. Work harder and beat him until he leaves the court. The problem will be solved."

Well, Xiao Du was very successful. In the 11th minute of the second half, Sand left the game with all the fusses.

Li Ke didn't take the last sentence Curry left behind to heart. For him, this game was just an experiment.

At the first time at the end of the game, he entered the system and checked Curry's hostile value.
