Although it was already late at night when I returned to my residence last night, Li Ke's biological clock woke him up on time early the next morning.

I got up, put on my autumn clothes and pants, added a velvet sports sweatshirt, and finally put on a sports cotton jacket, and then went out with the air conditioner.

It’s still quite cold in Austin, but as soon as the exercise volume increases, the cold is immediately expelled. After running for half of the time, Li Ke threw his cotton jacket aside.

Passing by a newsstand, Li Ke couldn't help but stop and lean over.

Because he saw from a distance that the photo on the front page of a newspaper hanging on the newsstand seemed to be his figure, even if it was several meters apart, it was so eye-catching.

When I got closer, I saw that it was true.

It was a "Austin News", with the front page printed with Li Ke's side face celebrating with a cold face after hitting a three-pointer.

"So handsome!"

Li Ke sighed inwardly, then took out a new twenty dollars from his pocket and handed it to the newsstand owner.

"Sir, I want an Austin news..."

He also saw that there were several sports pictorials on the table in the newsstand: "Another sports pictorial."

There is nothing good about Austin News, Li Ke just wants to keep it for a souvenir.

However, when Sports Illustrated thought of the special edition of the talent show, Li Ke was a little unwilling to run and immediately decided to end the running exercise this morning.

Back at the apartment, the servant hired by Li Ke had prepared breakfast, five or six white eggs, thick pancakes stacked together, a glass of milk, and a glass of fruit and vegetable juice.

While eating, Li Ke finished reading the Austin News.

Stephen Adler, a reporter who had used Li Ke, wrote an article, praising Li Ke widely, and questioned Sports Illustrated again.

"It's hard to believe that Sheldon has been highlighting the Longhorns for months, defeating NCAA star players like Taylor Hansblu and Asilau, but has not yet made it to the Sports Illustrated Draft Prediction Rankings..."

Haven't boarded yet?

Li Ke frowned. He felt that the latest issue should not be without him. This article on Austin News should have been written by Adler last night.

Putting the sports pictorial beside him, Li Ke took a deep breath, as if he was about to reveal the million-dollar prize, he was quite nervous and somewhat expectant...

Bang!

The door of the apartment was pushed open at this moment.

"Sheldon, look, you've entered the Sports Illustrated Draft Prediction Ranking, with the 17th pick in the first round!"

Li Ke's nervousness and expectations were instantly shattered.

Damn!

He glared at Xiao Du fiercely. Xiao Du felt inexplicable, touched his head, handed Li Ke the sports pictorial he brought with him, and pointed to the specific location in the magazine.

Li Ke saw himself at first glance.

A NCAA pre-made makeup photo with Li Ke's name written on it.

It is no longer the major NCAA media, Sheldon Li, who has always been talking about, but Li Ke’s real name: Li Ke.

"Li Ke, 18 years old, is a swaying man in the NCAA Grand Twelve League, playing for the University of Texas Austin President Horns. He is good at cutting empty points, can shoot three points, and has outstanding single defense..."

There is a row of average data from Li Ke from the previous game after the list of the last game.

"23 appearances, 23 starts, 28.9 minutes per game, and can score 14.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game..."

After that, there is a set of Li Ke's physical test data.

"Height: 199cm, weight: 84kg, arm span: 200cm, standing height: 258cm, bounce in place: 82cm, running jump: 99cm, touch height: 339cm, running jump: 357cm, maximum bench press (84 kg): 19 times, 3/4 sprint: 3.45 seconds."

"This physical test data..."

Li Ke frowned, and he remembered that at the end of the preseason, Coach Chris Price pulled everyone to do a physical test. The physical test data in Sports Illustrated was the data, strength, bounce and speed measured by Li Ke at that time, which were too obvious.

"There is an insider in the Longhorns."

"Insider, what does it mean, Sheldon?"

Xiao Du didn't hear Li Ke's complaints clearly, and Li Ke waved his hand: "It's nothing."

Avoiding this topic, his eyes re-opened to the magazine. In the prediction, the team that chose Li Ke was the Los Angeles Lakers.

"With the Lakers' record this year, their draft picks are probably at this level, but Sports Illustrated never lets go of the target. They should have received some insider information, right?"

It is not only Sports Illustrated that one can make talent predictions, but only one can become authoritative, which is very telling.

Li Ke was speculating randomly, but no matter what, he had never made it to the list. By the middle of the first round, Li Ke had a market surge.

"It's time to prepare for the 2007 draft."

Li Ke suddenly thought that 2007 was also a year of harvest in Chinese basketball. In addition to Brother Yao entering the peak of his career, Lianmei and Dasheng also entered the NBA this season.

...

A newspaper in Yangcheng, Su Qun took out the sports pictorial from the newspaper box at the door as usual, and turned around and entered the newspaper again.

As soon as he entered the door, a group of people immediately rushed up.

Yang Yi asked anxiously: "Look at what is the A-lane in this period!"

In the 2007 draft, Lianmei was a hottest since the beginning. In contrast, although the Great Sage, who received attention in the Asian Championships in 2005, has always predicted that she would be selected in the second round, she is inferior to Lianmei after all, and she has received low attention.

"Don't worry, I haven't opened it yet."

Teacher Su's hand was a little stupid. He rubbed it for a long time before tearing off the film outside.

Then I looked through it for a while before I found the location of the special edition of the draft.

From top to bottom, I soon saw Lianmei’s name.

"The seventh pick is down one pick compared to the last time."

"There is no difference between one or two picks, let's take a look at Sun Yue."

Continue to search from the seventh ranking, and the first one I found was not Sun Yue, but Li Ke.

"Li   Ke? It seems to be the name of a Chinese person?"

"The 17th pick in the first round, this pick is not low."

“Look at the introduction…”

The statue of the Great Sage was forgotten, and the only focus of a group of people was Li Ke.

"There is no detailed introduction, only the name, school, the location on the field, and various descriptions of technical characteristics, data and prediction rankings."

"It's true that this name is Chinese. If you are a Chinese, you should also write an English name."

Editor-in-chief Li Xilin gave his judgment, and his judgment was not without basis. This year, there was a Chinese American at Harvard University named Jeremy Lin. They also understood it and learned that they were Chinese Americans, so they stopped paying attention.

Now, a real Chinese suddenly appeared at the University of Texas at Austin in the Big 12th League, and he played well. The draft predictions have gone from missing in the previous episode to the 17th in the first round of this episode, and it is obviously the market has soared.

The entire newspaper immediately became excited.

"A Lian, Sun Yue, now there is another Li Ke. This year is a great harvest!"

"Don't be happy so early. Wang Yiqiong is closer to that from the University of Texas, Austin, so let her learn about it."

"We need not only to understand, but also to hold an exclusive interview to let domestic fans know about Li Ke!"
