Chapter 50 Sheldon is a dark horse

After Stanhays' roar, Patrick Beverly no longer appeared beside Xiao Du.

But he did not be honest because of this. With the score already widened, Beverly directly commanded a defense change on the court.

After that, he appeared in front of Li Ke.

"You have scored 7 points in a row, but from now on, you won't score anymore..."

Li Ke was not Sony Wilms who didn't fight back and scold him. He naturally replied: "If I score, what can you do?"

This is a provocation, and Li Ke is waiting for Beverly's response.

Beverly is not stupid either. With such a low-end provocation, he could not answer directly, so he could only hum: "Let's talk about it when you score."

"Okay, then you..."

Halfway through, seeing Beverly distracted, Li Ke immediately took steps and instantly accelerated...

"The Boars canceled their aggressive defense against Kevin Durant, Patrick Beverly went to deal with Sheldon who was so hot at the moment..."

"Sheldon suddenly started running, Patrick Beverley was half a step behind him."

It was enough to estimate the distance between Beverly and defense using his ostentation.

Li Ke's speed was getting faster and faster, and he rushed straight to the basket.

There is only one center Dalyon Donnes, who is at the same level as Connor Archile, is fighting with Archile and has no time to take care of Li Ke.

Xiao Du held the ball. Although he could easily defeat Charles Thomas' defense, when he saw Li Ke rushing to the basket in an unyielding manner, he still couldn't help passing the ball because he wanted to see a wonderful dunk.

Sure enough, when Li Ke received the pass, he immediately jumped up, kicked the ground with his feet, and jumped into the air.

"Sheldon, he received the pass and was about to dunk!"

Patrick Beverly can no longer use conventional means to stop Li Ke, but he, who is a mad dog, naturally has other means.

He followed two steps, stretched out his long arm, and hooked Li Ke with his arms.

"Oh my God!"

A bang!

The referee's whistle rang out.

Everyone thought Li Ke would be dragged down by Beverly, but what they saw was Li Ke who was still hanging on the basket, and Beverly who was brought down by huge force...

"Sheldon actually ignored Patrick Beverly's pull and still completed this dunk. It's incredible. How terrifying is his power and explosion?"

"Eh Patrick Beverly, who is gratifying and sad, escaped a malicious foul!"

Beverly was stunned. Li Ke, who landed on the ground, reached out to him, as if he wanted to pull him up. He looked very friendly, but he was reluctant to give in:

"Patrick, I've scored, and it's time for you to express your thoughts!"

Beverly, Beverly knocked Li Ke off his hand and stood up by himself.

Li Ke smiled, his smile was quite ironic.

Walking onto the free throw line, Li Ke executed the extra penalty, and with a bang, he didn't make it.

"21 still didn't make it. Since I started commenting on the University of Texas game, I have never seen Sheldon hit extra free throws. But he always hit the first free throw to win the second free throw, and then continue to miss the second free throw."

On the court, Li Ke was helpless. Maybe it was time to practice free throws?

Although the extra penalty was not made, the score was once again widened.

Beverly still wanted to challenge Li Ke, but since that hidden malicious foul, Li Ke has been no longer polite.

His strength was completely exploded, and his speed was the same as usual. He always tried his best. Although his thin and vigorous fighting spirit was completely unable to resist.

Off the field, Stanhes was a little hysterical.

But on the court, Beverly was already on the way, and Sony Wilms was locked by Li Ke's defense without any chance.

The Wild Boars' first two scorers became abnormal. However, Xiao Du, who was messed up in the beginning, gradually found a touch in a loose defensive environment and made long shots one after another.

The score was already widened by Li Ke's 9-point burst.

And then, the University of Texas, which is already stronger, continues to expand its advantages and lay a solid victory...

"The 40-minute battle is really tense, but only the three or four minutes of the opening."

Shannon Sharp shook his head: "That's why I don't like explaining the crazy March trip of No. 1 seed. They always have no suspense in their game..."

The biggest highlight of March Crazy is the suspense brought by a final victory or defeat.

The suspense is gone, and the game is meaningless.

Generally speaking, there is basically no suspense in the first one or two rounds of the top seeds in the four divisions.

Of course, sometimes there will be unpopularity.

But so far, NCAA has not had a super upset with the No. 16 seed beating the No. 16 seed.

The unpopularity of 32-entering seeds No. 16, 8 or 9 defeating the top seeds is often happening, but the chance of it happening is not high.

The last time I talked about March Crazy in 2004, when two top seeds were overturned that year, namely the University of Alabama, Birmingham, with the No. 9 seed, defeated the University of Kentucky, the No. 9 seed, and the University of Alabama, the Red Tide, in another division, defeated the other top seed, Stanford.

There was no such upset in March 2005 and 2006.

Maricarillo looked at Shannon Sharp with regret: "You seem to hope that the Longhorns will be out in an upset..."

He seemed to think of the scene where Shannon Sharp was slapped in the face by Li Ke at the opening of the preseason.

Shannon Sharp shook his head: "No, I just want to make the game intense. In fact, if I had to tell the truth, I would rather hope that the Longhorns can win all the way."

"You know, sometimes the dark horse not only refers to a team, it may also point to a certain player. In my opinion, Sheldon is the most magical dark horse of this season. Before the start of the NCAA, he was unknown, but then soared all the way; from not being able to enter the draft prediction list, to then directly jumping to the mid-first round of the draft; no one thought he could start with the Longhorns, but was finally selected into the best team in the Big 12th League..."

After hearing this long list of remarks, Maricarillo laughed and joked: "No one thinks he can start with the Longhorns, you are talking about you, Shannon."

"Yes, I admit that I underestimated Sheldon at that time, but that was only because Sheldon was unknown at that time, and he came from China. Among the Chinese players, I only saw Yao, who is 7-foot-6 and Wang, who is 7-foot-sized, and at most, with Bater who is also 7-foot-height, I thought there were only big players in Chinese basketball…"

"Well, Shannon, it seems that Sheldon has subverted your perception, but you may not know that in ABA, there is also a Chinese player who is similar to Sheldon's height, who has a second round prospect in the draft three months later."

“aba? Ha!”

“…”

Chatting, the game ended soon.

The University of Texas finally beat the University of Arkansas with a score of 77-60 and won the key battle of 32-to-16.

Xiao Du exploded in the back and scored 30 points. Li Ke's performance was even more critical. His score was 3 points lower than Xiao Du. However, his personal score of 27 points was once again set a record for Li Ke's personal score.

One game is better than another, and it is the result that Li Ke wants.

On the side of the court, the wild boars who lost the game left without looking back.

Li Ke was quite regretful, and he also wanted to communicate with Beverly and Sony Wilms.

After all, in this game, he made a promise not to let Wilms score in double digits. In the whole game, Sony Wilms made 8 shots and only hit 2 goals. Including free throws, he scored a total of 7 points.

And, after Beverly gave up his harsh words that he wouldn't let him score again, he scored another 20 points.

He would love to know how Beverly feels now.

...

Indianapolis, the game was over, Larry Bird got up, walked to the office door, opened it, and made a gesture of asking.

"I'm going to get off work, Joe."

"That Sheldon..."

Joe Henson frowned. He wanted to know what Larry Bird would do about the next investigation of Li Ke.
