Chapter 40: The Appearance Ceremony of Ford Center
Oklahoma City, Ford Center.
The final of the Big 12 Championship is about to begin, and Joe Henson, as usual, took the ticket early and sat in the high-rise stands.
His position is great, not only to observe every movement on the court, but also to find possible competitors in the nearby stands.
"The competition between Germany University is getting more and more..."
Since Li Ke made two magical breaks and one detonated one and three points to Kansas, there have been many scouts on the sidelines of the University of Texas.
At the beginning of the league championship, Li Ke's performance was getting better and better. These scouts seemed to have roots and never left again, and this final was even more so.
“Some people know, some don’t.”
The first thing Joe Henson noticed was a blonde beauty sitting opposite the technical table, close to the sidelines of the field, wearing a deep V-dress, two big balls leaked out, and sometimes she suddenly got up and would shake twice.
Some gray-haired white man next to him was stunned.
"Bonnie Gil Raflin... This woman is dressed so charmingly, she is not here to inspect the players."
Reluctantly looking away, Qiao Henson suddenly regretted not buying a seat closer to the court.
Then, he saw another old acquaintance: Reggie Johnson.
"Reggie of the Dallas Mavericks, their draft picks are not available for Kevin Durant, so their targets are either Sheldon or the group of Kansas wings..."
Finally, when Joe Henson saw the stands opposite the same high, Larry Cooper hurried to the scene.
On the court, the game is about to begin.
Stepping on the smooth floor, Li Ke suddenly remembered that the Ford Center is now the temporary home court for the Hornets and the Thunder will be the home court for the future.
The floor was just changed yesterday, and the Hornets logo in the center of the stadium was replaced with the Big 12 League logo, and the NBA logo on both sides of the stadium were replaced with the NCAA logo.
"From this start, we will participate in one single knockout match after another on the NBA court!"
As long as you defeat Kansas, from preseason to routine games, and then to the league championship, you will only lose one game in almost forty games, and the University of Germany will definitely lock in the throne of the number one seed in the March Crazy Division.
Isn’t the next crazy March a knockout match after knockout match?
Li Ke thought, and the lights in the stadium suddenly dimmed.
Captain Abrams stabbed Li Ke: "Sheldon, he is here when you want the appearance ceremony!"
The lights suddenly dimmed and the stadium became quiet.
The host's strong voice was mixed with cheers and boos, and Kansas opposite appeared first...
"Why are they first?"
"Because we are the champions of the routine, the strong always play in the last place."
Li Ke nodded and easily accepted this setting.
“a.j.Abrams!”
The host suddenly called Abrams' name, and the captain of the Longhorn immediately rushed out amid the tsunami of cheers.
Li Ke took a deep breath and suddenly he became excited.
"Random task: Win this game, and score at least 20 individual points, and other data are also on the list..."
"Reward: trait 'contest', the level will be determined by the gorgeousness of the host's data in this game."
The random task is here again, this time the trait is called a "contest". Li Ke, who was moved inside, guessed that it played the role of this trait.
As the name suggests, a major competition should be when encountering major competitions, and Li Ke can get bonuses from the system.
"It should be a characteristic similar to a big heart, that is, I don't know if it can be stacked. If it can be stacked, wouldn't it be invincible in the last moment?"
While Li Ke was thinking about these things, Augustine and Connor Archile had already appeared.
The next person to be called is Li Ke.
"Sheldon, Lee!"
Li Ke rushed out and waved to both sides.
Amid the warm cheers and boos, there were a scream or two, and Li Ke seemed not so excited again.
Xiao Du made the final appearance, and the game officially started after the grand appearance ceremony.
"Darel Arthur won his match against Connor Archile, Kansas got the opening ball, and Mario Chamos was the one who received the ball..."
"Texas has changed their defensive strategy, and now it's Sheldon who is defending Mario!"
"This change is bold. After all, Kansas' number one scorer is Brandon Rush, who was locked by Sheldon when the two teams met before..."
Joe Henson put on his headphones and found that there was one more person in the CBS commentator's seat besides Shannon Sharp and Maricarillo.
"Is this the magician's voice?"
He stretched his neck and swept around the technical table, and he really saw the figure of the magician Johnson.
"He came to explain too, is he a guest?"
Joe Henson didn't think much, his focus was still on the game itself.
The game has begun, and Kansas' offense is as slow as usual, frowning.
Unlike the last time defending Rush, Chamos is a difficult opponent. It's not that Chamos is stronger, but that Chamos is very dishonest than the honest Rush.
"Mario received the ball, he made a step, and he didn't have much chance, so he passed the ball back..."
"A circled around the penalty area, Mario returned to the outside of the three-point line, received the basketball, Sheldon stared at him tightly, he tried to break through..."
“…”
Li Ke had a cold face and wanted to tell Chamos that he would either shoot or stop taking the ball again and again and again to do useless work. I am also very annoyed when you do this.
Of course, if this is said, Chamos will definitely lit up and then do it even more crazily.
Kansas' first attack was delayed for 29 seconds, and Chamos finally smashed a piece of iron with Li Ke's defense.
"Sheldon's defense is still so good, he completely blocked Mario Chamos."
Shannon Sharp opened his mouth and praised him.
Maricarillo nodded in agreement, but the magician who appeared as a guest shook his head: "His defense is too dependent on his body. When he meets a slightly stronger opponent, his body is useless and he will immediately become mediocre."
"A stronger opponent? Is Mario Chamos not strong enough? And Taylor..."
The commentator suddenly became a debate. After all, Li Ke had defended Taylor Hansblu, who was the number one star in the Atlantic Coast League. The Magician wanted to say that Li Ke's defense was mediocre, but Shannon Sharp was the first to refuse.
The magician interrupted his doubts:
"Indeed, in NCAA, Mario Chamos and Taylor Hansblu are all very strong, but they are just NCAA, and they are switched to NBA..."
"NBA is the NBA business, Erwin."
Shannon Sharp interrupted without hesitation, but he admitted: "Of course, you are right. Elvin and Sheldon's defense are just outstanding in NCAA, and there are still many problems with his defensive details."
"When he enters the NBA, he will naturally solve these problems. It will not be too late to evaluate his defense in the NBA at that time."
As soon as the topic changed, the magician nodded and the debate ended.
During the commentary, the University of Texas scored a goal, which came from Du Xiao’s single-handed challenge to Julian Wright and made a mid-range shot.
Kansas then counterattacked, and Darrell Arthur, who was inside, scored a hook and equalized the score.
On the other hand, Du Xiao held the ball and took away the defense, assisted Augustine to hit a three-pointer, and the University of Texas took the lead again.
The offense and defense were converted, and Rush, who was no longer guarded by Li Ke, lost his shot from the central shot.
Texas, who grabbed the rebound, made a counterattack, and Du Xiao chased and made a three-pointer!
The balance at the beginning of the game immediately leaned towards Texas...
Li Ke originally expected that this game would not be too difficult.
Although the two teams had a regular match in the previous match, Texas almost lost the game and narrowly won by three points with Li Ke's magical performance.
But there were objective reasons for that game. Xiao Du was in poor condition, and at that time, Li Ke had just obtained a D-level three-pointer, and only the hot zone at the top of the arc was available.
This game is different.
Xiao Du has adjusted his mentality and is in a hot state.
Li Ke has also unlocked all five hot zones outside the three-point line, and the threat of three-point is incomparable.
Chapter completed!
