Chapter 45 The Son of God(1/2)
It was about to leave Austin, and early in the morning, Li Ke started a morning jog as usual.
It was no longer so cold in early March. He took off his autumn clothes and pants, wore a cotton sports tights, and put on a loose training jacket on the outside, pushing the door out.
Fighting the demonic wind of Texas, he trotted around North Camps with steady steps.
After the first lap, he was still breathing smoothly, followed by the second lap.
He gradually breathed rapidly after running halfway through, but his feet were still stable, which gave Li Ke hope to complete the task.
But during this round, he went around the newsstand and bought a sports pictorial.
Since finishing the League Championship final, Li Ke has entered the lottery zone for both draft prediction rankings.
The so-called lottery zone refers to the top 14 picks in the first round and NBA teams that did not make the playoffs in the previous season are eligible to get draft picks in the lottery zone. Of course, except for the lottery draws obtained from trading.
Although Li Ke is still wandering at the end of the lottery zone for the time being, entering the lottery zone means that Li Ke has the opportunity to enter the small green house.
At every year's draft, the official will invite at least 14 rookies to enter the Little Green House, and most of the rookies invited to enter the Little Green House are very popular rookies.
Well, so now Li Ke is a potential rookie player who is highly favored.
While running on the quiet streets of North Camps, Li Ke opened the sports pictorial in his hand, turned to the talent show, and took a rough look.
Just like last time, it's still at the end of the lottery.
The team that chose him was replaced by the Lakers from the beginning, and this time they were replaced by the Hornets.
However, now Li Ke understands that the teams here are just arranged by Sports Illustrated according to the current NBA record list, and have nothing to do with the players appearing here.
"So, this thing is always just a reference and cannot explain anything."
Li Ke also paid special attention to Xiao Du. Perhaps he has won too many American-oriented individual awards in recent times, Xiao Du finally surpassed Oden and became the No. 1 pick in the draft prediction list.
"Kevin is in a good mood during this period..."
Although he was breathing heavily, because of the sports pictorial, he had almost finished the remaining half of the journey.
Li Ke still had the strength, so he immediately put away the magazine in his hand and speeded up.
After three or two steps, he rushed past the key point and fell head-on at the door of his house.
However, in my mind, the system prompt sounded.
"Random task completed..."
After struggling to get up, Li Ke returned to the apartment. He patiently used up his breakfast, then used the excuse of going to the bathroom and hid in the bathroom before entering the system.
"The random task is completed, the D-level steel will has been upgraded to C-level..."
"Class C endurance upgraded to B..."
"All those who have finally stepped on the horse have been upgraded!"
All have been upgraded. Including the C-level competition he won after the championship final, he has made some progress at least before the next game.
"C-level competition: traits. When the host encounters a decisive competition, the trait will be triggered. According to the level, the competition will receive 20% of the skills and talent bonus..."
The characteristics of the competition are similar to those of the big heart, and they are both fixedly triggered.
After having triggering experience, Li Ke has already understood that the 20% bonus here looks terrifying, but in fact it is just that.
Compared with Iron Will, which can directly improve the skill talent level, it is simply useless.
Not to mention the courageous traits that have not been triggered yet but can directly clear the gap.
However, it is better to have one than not. After getting the competition characteristics, Li Ke has more confidence in the next three months of crazy things.
After a while of rest, Li Ke changed his clothes and set out for Frank Irving Center.
During this period of training, he has unlocked all 5 three-point hot zones, and the next step is to 5 mid-range hot zones.
While unlocking the hot zone of the CIT, you can just accumulate the proficiency of the CIT.
The proficiency of the hot zone and China Investment Corporation is that Li Ke still has room for improvement.
Frank Irving Center, because it was not training day, Li Ke only met Xiao Du and captain Abrams.
The three of them nodded to each other, saying hello.
Then they all started training, and the two assistant coaches, Chris Price and Toddley, also acted as tool players to pick up the ball and pass the ball in the arena.
Li Ke made mid-range shots one after another, and his accuracy was pretty good.
Xiao Du, who was standing beside him, seemed to stop and observe for a while. He frowned and found that there were some problems with Li Ke's CET.
"The arms are raised too high, and they look a little dissonant..."
Xiao Du made a mid-range shot by himself and found that his arms were raised very high, but his arm span was much longer than Li Ke, so there was no problem of inconsistency, but he was very coordinated, so he should have made a shot like this.
After thinking about it, Xiao Du stopped Li Ke:
"Sheldon, wait, your shooting posture needs to be changed..."
Has the shooting posture changed? Li Ke frowned and stopped his shooting.
"Your arm is lifted too high, which is a bit inconsistent..."
Xiao Du made a demonstration, but Li Ke interrupted him and pointed at Xiao Du's arm:
"But Kevin, your arms are also raised high."
"I'm raising it high, because I have long arms."
OK, Xiao Du means that my arms are short...
Li Ke naturally would not refute that his arms were short, which was well known.
"But you are different. Your arms are short and you will be out of harmony if you lift them high..."
Hello, it is said that it is well-known, so don’t say it out loud?
Li Ke wanted to interrupt Xiao Du, but he had to admit that Xiao Du was right. He forced his arm to raise his head and shot, which was a bit like imitating him.
Following Xiao Du's guidance, Li Ke took his arm back a little.
After pushing the ball out, the accuracy did not change much, but Li Ke could feel that his shooting seemed to have become smooth.
"Sure enough, I have some problems with the ball, well, the problem is that I have imitated Kevin too much..."
While practicing, an uninvited guest came to the side of the court.
"Russell, why are you back?"
On another court, Abrams' loud shouting attracted the attention of Li Ke and Xiao Du.
Turning over, Li Ke saw Russell Spliman, and greeted with a smile: "Long time no see, Russell..."
Immediately afterwards, Li Ke saw the uninvited guest beside Spliman, and his pupils shrank visible to the naked eye.
"Is this... Jimmy Butler?"
Li Ke was still a little uncertain. After all, Jiba was very young at this time. Judging from his appearance, he did not have the characteristics of a son of God.
But Abrams asked directly: "Who is this?"
Russell Spliman smiled and said, "Let me introduce Jimmy Butler, the scoring champion of Taylor Junior College from Houston, and a member of the best team of colleges and universities in the United States this year, has just successfully transferred to college."
"Hello..." Abrams greeted Jiba, then confirmed to Spliman: "So, will he join the Longhorn?"
"That's right, and he didn't have to sit in the ball guard, he successfully applied for the waiver."
Li Ke frowned. It was not that he was dissatisfied with it, but that he was thinking.
He was a little confused about where Jiba spent his college life. Was it the University of Texas? If so, then history would not change, but if not...
"Are you interested in fighting him?"
Russell Spliman offered an invitation to the three people in the stadium, and the three nodded one after another.
The initiative is in Jimmy Butler's hands, and Xiao Du is ready, and he feels he deserves it.
Jimmy Butler came to Li Ke:
"Sheldon, I know you. Before I came to Austin, I received invitations from three or four NCAA first-tier universities, but I chose the Longhorns because I think I am very similar to you. If you run for the NBA, I can replace you in the Longhorns..."
Whether it looks like it or not does not matter. Li Ke only asked one question: "So, is me the first thing you want to challenge?"
Jimmy Butler nodded.
"Then come!"
On the training ground, Li Ke and Jimmy Butler stood opposite each other like martial arts masters.
Xiao Du stood on the sidelines, with arms crossed her chest, and a little sour: "He actually chose Sheldon..."
Abrams just rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Du, who was rich in inner activities.
He still set his sights on the court, and Li Ke, who was holding the ball, had already put on three threatening positions.
The first step that was not fast was followed. Li Ke squeezed away Jiba, and his power exploded completely, Jiba was unable to resist, so he chose to retreat quickly.
Li Ke stopped in place and shot a China Central Investment that had just been adjusted.
The arm was not raised high, and with a swish, the basketball hit it accurately.
