Chapter 37 Another Interview
Two days after defeating Kansas, the University of Texas hosted Iowa State led by Wesley Johnson and Mike Taylor.
In this game, Xiao Du and Li Ke only played half of the game.
Augustine also sprained her ankle because of the huge consumption of the last game and missed the game.
The overall condition of the Longhorns is very average. The team was behind the score as early as the first half.
In the second half, Rick Barnes made a fuss and directly took the revenge for Xiao Du and Li Ke, who were in poor physical condition, and half of the main players finished the game.
The University of Texas eventually lost the game, and the complete victory was also broken.
More than a dozen scouts in the stands of Frank Irving Center added a touch to both Li Ke and Du: average endurance.
Although he lost the ball, the University of Texas did not receive any harsh criticism. Even the NCAA's internal evaluation of the University of Germany did not decline at all.
Because everyone understands that there is another reason for the University of Texas loss.
"The opponent is still Iowa State, which has a strong opponent. The schedule of the Big 12 League is not very reasonable..."
"Although I lost to Iowa State University, the University of Texas can still say: the main players of the Longhorns still maintain a complete victory!"
"D.J. Augustine: The University of Texas lost, I didn't lose!"
“…”
The lost game is also the first game Li Ke lost to this world. Although he only played halftime, the loss still had a great impact on him.
"Endurance, endurance, this thing is still very important. Now, this endurance has gone to the NBA and runs back to back, what should I do?"
So, the next day, Li Ke's morning jog became even harder.
As we ran, the system prompt rang.
"Random task: Complete a morning run that is equivalent to twice the amount of daily training."
“Reward: Class D steel will be upgraded to Class C.”
Li Ke immediately turned black, twice? This is what he meant to force people to death!
You know, Li Ke's daily training volume has reached his limit. He is so tired that he is half dead every time, and the training without endurance will not be effective so quickly.
If it really takes twice the amount of training, it will be no different from being a life-threatening one.
But Li Ke used the characteristic of steel will once and knew it was good. When he encountered the opportunity to upgrade, he was already moved.
"Try it, you won't die if you try it."
Double is equivalent to two laps around North Camps.
In the first lap, Li Ke ran down smoothly as usual, and was already heavy and out of breath.
"This breaks the system and the task, it's like this after one lap. How can I run the second lap..."
After finding a bench on the street, Li Ke sat down, one was to take a break, and the other was to enter the system to see if there were any loopholes in this task. After all, he had discovered loopholes in this system a long time ago.
"Task System..."
“Random Task…”
"The host was detected to stop and rest, the task countdown: 10, 9, 8, 7..."
The system suddenly started counting down. Li Ke was startled and opened his eyes and wanted to get up to continue. When his feet were soft, the countdown ended.
"The mission attempt failed!"
Wait, the attempt failed?!
After re-entering the system, Li Ke realized that the task did not disappear, but just prompted that the attempt failed.
"That is, I can try this task multiple times?"
I just don't know if it's infinite times...
However, since he could try it many times, Li Ke breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's continue tomorrow..."
Go home and have a fulfilling breakfast.
Li Ke received a call from Russell Spliman:
“Come to Frank Irving Center.”
Just as Li Ke was about to ask something, Spliman hurriedly added: "It's an exclusive interview, remember to clean up yourself and be more energetic."
It seems that Spliman learned a lesson from the last interview.
Li Ke was afraid of the interview. On the phone, he quickly shook his head: "No, Russell, I refuse to interview."
"Why? This is an exclusive interview, which means exposure, and exposure means that your talent show will rise as a result."
"The last senior Stephen Adler, his interview was ulterior motive..."
"This time it's different, you'd better come over. The reporters you interviewed are your compatriots."
When he heard that he was a fellow countryman, Li Ke did not refuse. After rushing to eat breakfast, he went to the bathroom to look in the mirror, and confirmed that there was no problem with his image. He went out to take a taxi and went directly to Frank Irving Center.
In the arena, Wang Yiqiong was waiting for Li Ke's arrival leisurely.
Just now, he had confirmed Li Ke's identity and knew that Li Ke's name was not Li Ke or Li Ke, but Li Ke, the third son of Emperor Taizong of Tang.
Now, he is chatting with two international students from De University who led him to, and continues to understand Li Ke from the side.
"You said, he also played a rugby game?"
"Well, the Chinese Students Association organized it, but it only played one touchdown."
"Why did you only play one touchdown?"
"It's a long story. In short, Li Ke played the touchdown alone. A touchdown of 70 yards was almost his own strength, and he only played one touchdown. One reason was that there was a bet before the game that international students could score points. Even if international students won, the other reason was that the gap between others and their opponents was too big, and it might be very miserable to continue playing..."
“…”
As we were chatting, Li Ke arrived.
The first thing he saw was the two international students who brought Wang Yiqiong, the short-haired girl in the football match, and the long-haired girl standing next to the short-haired girl during the opening match.
Then I saw Wang Yiqiong beside the two.
"Li Ke?"
Li Ke nodded, Wang Yiqiong stretched out his right hand to him and introduced himself:
"Wang Yiqiong, currently works in San Antonio and is also a part-time reporter of the Domestic Pioneer, mainly covering the San Antonio Spurs."
After getting to know each other, the interview will begin.
Unlike Stephen Adler's, Wang Yiqiong's interview hardly mentioned others, and the whole process revolved around Li Ke.
Li Ke started with his family and studied in the United States, and spent four years in high school with Westbrook.
When he entered De University, he partnered with Xiao Du, gradually grew up and became famous, attracting the attention of the NBA...
Finally, we talked about the draft plan:
"I do have plans to participate in this year's NBA draft. For me, NCAA experience is very important, but entering the NBA early can help me grow faster..."
Wang Yiqiong put away his notebook and recorder, stood up, stretched out his right hand again towards Li Ke, and shook his hand:
"Thank you, Li Ke, let's take two photos at the end. I'll send it back to China with this interview."
So, Li Ke took three photos at the basket rack with Frank Irving Center, the stand behind the technical stand, and the longhorn logo in the center of the court.
The interview ended, and Li Ke was also preparing to go back and run around North Camps for another lap, gradually increasing his endurance so that he could complete the task as soon as possible.
The short-haired girl began to be anxious when she saw Li Ke leaving.
"Hey, are you going to ignore both of us again?"
Li Ke turned around: "When did I ignore you when did you say this?"
"Last time..." The girl with short hair was pulled by the girl with long hair next to her. She seemed to have reacted and waved her hand: "No, I mean, we have met three times by chance, and we still don't even know our name."
A chance encounter? The first time was a chance encounter, but the last two times were also a chance encounter?
Li Ke was about to fight back, but when he saw a girl with long hair, he thought about it and it would be okay to get to know her.
"Then let's get to know each other."
In this way, Li Ke met these two girls. The short-haired one was named Chen Ziyi, and everyone called her Xiaoyang, an international student from the Communication Academy, and a long-haired one was named Lin Qi, an international student from the Law School.
"I've met you all, I'm destined to see you again."
