Chapter 52: Shannon Sharp's Black Powder Attributes
Winston-Salem, referred to as Windsor, is the location of Wake Forest University.
The stadium at 16 to 8 is the home stadium of the Demonic Deacons of Wake Forest University and the Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Stadium.
The Longhorn arrived in Windsor City, checked in the hotel, and rented a training hall near the Joel Veterans Memorial Hall.
Like last time, except for the first day of rest, Li Ke resumed his usual training starting the next day.
In the training hall, Li Ke made mid-range shots one after another.
Xiao Du was also not far away, walking around a few dummies, practicing dribbling and changing directions.
Then I stopped from time to time and guide Li Ke.
Now, Li Ke's shot will no longer raise his arm too much, but some details still need to be adjusted.
Longhorn's assistant coach Chris Price witnessed Li Ke's mid-range shot throughout the whole process, but his posture was weird. After Xiao Du's guidance, he adjusted his posture almost in less than two weeks.
And this is obviously a kind of talent:
"This guy Sheldon has such a talent for learning, which is really terrifying."
On the training ground, Li Ke, who was shooting in the Centre, has unlocked four of the five Centre-to-Hot Zones, only the area on the bottom line on the left.
He could feel that his mid-range shots were getting smoother and smoother.
This is the same as what he felt when he practiced a D-level three-pointer.
"The shooting skills of the D-level are slow to shoot, and almost a little interference will make the shooting of this level hit iron. The C-level is better than the D-level, and its shooting is a little faster and can withstand slight interference. Then the B-level should be a huge improvement, right?"
...
"There will be a competition tomorrow. Are you sure you still have to practice like this, Sheldon?"
Time was the day before the competition, but Li Ke was in the training hall and was sweating all over his body, but he still didn't want to end it.
Xiao Du has already sat on the sidelines to rest. He always feels that if Li Ke continues to practice like this, it will affect tomorrow's game.
Li Ke didn't realize it, shook his head, turned over and threw a mid-range shot.
Xiao Du passed one to him, and Li Ke, who received the ball, turned over and made a mid-range shot again...
"Class C-level C-level has been upgraded to Class B!"
call!
Li Ke breathed tightly and completely let go.
It has been upgraded, and finally it has been upgraded.
Since coming to Windsor City, Li Ke felt that in almost two weeks of high-intensity practice, the barrier between C-level mid-range shots and B-level mid-range shots are being broken.
So he tried harder. Even though the battle between 16 and 8 was approaching, he still spared no effort and further improved the intensity of his practice regardless of everything.
Finally, the day before the game, the C-level mid-range shot turned into a B-level mid-range shot.
After stopping practice, Li Ke also sat on the sidelines, and his thoughts were already wrapped in tomorrow's game.
"You said, Kevin, who will Coach Barnes let me deal with tomorrow's game?"
"Who else can I deal with? Of course it's Nick Young."
"What about Tagibson?"
"It's likely that I'll leave it to me..."
Li Ke shook his head secretly. He always felt that something might happen, but he didn't know whether something happened to him or Xiao Du.
...
On March 24, 2007, Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Stadium.
There is still half an hour left before the start of the game.
Rick Barnes had just set up his tactics, and Li Ke already knew that his opponent would be Nick Young in this game, and Tagibson, who was in the Pacific Ten Schools League, naturally had to leave it to Xiao Du to deal with it.
"It's time for you guys!"
Li Ke stood up and pushed the door out.
Stepping on the floor, the Wake Forest University Deacons logo was surrounded by thousands of fans, Li Ke made the first mid-range shot that warmed up before the game.
The basketball drew a wonderful arc and entered the basket without a pause.
Swish!
Li Ke rubbed his hands with satisfaction.
The University of Southern California also appeared. On the other side of the court, Trojans head coach Tim Floyd was being interviewed and he talked about Li Ke:
"When it comes to Sheldon, I want to share: As we all know, during the admissions season last year, Sheldon was unknown, and even no first-tier colleges gave him a full scholarship. Until the AA competition, he attracted the attention of us and the University of Texas..."
"So, Sheldon chose the University of Derby between Southern California and the University of Texas?"
“That’s right…”
The interview was transmitted to the commentary seat behind the technical station through satellite signals.
Shannon Sharp focused on: "It seems that Sheldon made a comeback with the AA game. Before that, no first-tier league colleges were willing to give him scholarships, but in that game, he directly conquered the admissions teams of two top-tier league teams..."
It was Maricarillo, and he understood what Tim Floyd wanted to express:
"Obviously, Tim Floyd is very dissatisfied with Sheldon's choice of Deutsch. He wants to use this game to teach Sheldon a lesson."
Steve Cole, who visited as a guest, also added: "To be precise, Tim Floyd wanted to defeat the University of Texas to prove that Sheldon's original choice was wrong..."
He seemed to have something to say, whether it was Maricarillo or Shannon Sharp, they all looked at him quietly.
Steve Cole was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed: "I saw someone who shouldn't have appeared here."
Then, Maricarillo and Shannon Sharp followed Steve Cole's sight and call and found the person who should not have appeared here-
"Michael!"
Michael Jordan, it’s Michael Jordan!
This guy really shouldn't have appeared in the game. After all, as the actual leader of the Bobcats, Jordan is not allowed to contact NCAA players in advance.
Watching the game on the spot is OK, but it is limited to watching the game.
As a guest, Steve Cole called Jordan, he took off his headset and started a guess openly.
Maricarillo and Shannon Sharp on the commentary seat began to discuss:
"This game is just a knockout match of 16 to 8. Before the final quarterfinals have arrived, will Michael Jordan actually come to watch such a game?"
"Did he fall in love with one of the players from both teams in this game?"
"Kevin Durant?"
"It is impossible. The NBA regular season is coming to an end. With the current ranking of Bobcats, it is difficult to get the top two draft picks in the first round, and the KD draft market will never fall behind the second pick."
"NancCanada's Nick Young only has the draft in the middle of the first round, and Tagibson is the second round, so there is only... Sheldon at the end of the lottery. Michael Jordan won't like Sheldon, right?"
The onlookers looked surprised, and Shannon Sharp even said excitedly: "You said, will Sheldon be the next Kwame Brown, or Adam Morrison?"
Maricarillo's expression began to become strange, as if he had seen through something: "I knew, Shannon, how could you suddenly become a Sheldon fan when you were slapped in the face by Sheldon? Sure enough, your black fan attributes were exposed!"
