I'm not really a role player

Chapter 14 will fight North Carolina No.1

"PJ Tucker: Friendliness 80."

"Reproducible PJ Tucker talent:
S-level strength, A-level speed, B-level explosiveness, B-level flexibility, A-level jumping, and A-level endurance. "

"Reproducible PJ Tucker's skills:
S-level single defense, S-level help defense, B-level three-pointers, C-level low-post singles, A-level rebounds, B-level steals..."

The strength of the S-level, the defense of the double-S level, the speed, bounce and endurance of the A-level, and the three-pointers of the B-level have fully demonstrated Tucker's style characteristics.

This is a top defender, with a height of 196cm, from one defense to five, and at the same time has a reliable corner three-pointer.

In the small ball era, Tucker was the best 3D role player.

"So, strength, or single defense?"

Li Ke is hesitating, the two choices, if it is power, for him now, the improvement is not much.

It's just that in the longer future, an S-level power talent can give him more choices.

If it is a single defense, it may be able to reach the B-level single defense after weakening, which is enough to dominate the NCAA.

"If you choose strength, then you have to gamble that the single defense can be upgraded by itself..."

After hesitating for a long time, Li Ke made a decision.

Although the single defense that may reach B level after weakening is quite tempting, Li Ke still wants to try whether he can upgrade the single defense only by his own training.

"If it's a C-level single defense, just in the NCAA, it's enough."

system hint:

"The copy was successful, the host has obtained the power talent of PJ Tucker..."

"Host: Li Ke, position on the field: undecided,

Height: 199cm, Weight: 81kg, Armspan: 200cm,

Birthday: August 1988, 8. "

"Skills already possessed: D-level single defense, D-level steal, C-level air cut."

"Already have talents: S-level speed, S-level strength, D-level explosiveness, D-level flexibility, and D-level endurance."

"Already possesses the trait: D-rank Iron Will."

After exiting the system, Li Ke immediately felt the changes brought about by the S-level power.

He pulled the door with his usual force, and with a click, the door handle drooped directly.

"S-level strength, S-level speed, talent, what is still urgently needed is the explosion..."

If there is another B-level or higher explosion, Li Ke's physical fitness can be regarded as top-notch. Although he still lacks jumping, as a floor player, jumping is not so necessary.

Ever since he got the S-level strength talent, Li Ke seemed very uncomfortable.

During training, he often overturned Damien James, who wanted to challenge him, to the ground with a strong force.

Then, the team's assistant coach Diandouville could only stop the training game and severely reprimanded Li Ke.

It went on like this for a few days, and Li Ke was also a little distressed.

"When I got the S-level speed, it was not so troublesome..."

In the past few days of training, Li Ke didn't have to adapt to the trend of this S-level power at all. The only gain may be: in the system, Damien James's hostility value has been rising all the way, reaching 50 points, even higher than Xiao Du's friendliness.

Speaking of Xiao Du, during this period of time, Li Ke had not had little communication with this guy.

Compared with the Durant he knew from media reports and various biographical articles in his previous life, Li Ke discovered that the real Durant is simply different.

This guy is not good at words, but he is sullen inside.

When I first arrived at the University of Texas, because of my high reputation in high school, I attracted a group of girls who wanted to climb high.

Durant never refused to come, and every time he made an appointment, he had to ask Li Ke to borrow a room.

In Li Ke's apartment, besides the master bedroom he lives in, there are two vacant guest bedrooms. If Xiao Du wants to borrow it, he will naturally not refuse.

Therefore, as a single dog, Li Ke could only listen to the obscene sounds from the guest bedroom next door day and night, thinking: "I'm afraid I need to find someone to strengthen the sound insulation of the room."

And these days, Li Ke always overthrows Damien James, and then gets reprimanded by Deauville.

Xiao Du also saw it. After a training session, he lowered his voice and asked Li Ke curiously: "Sheldon, do you have any grudges with Damien?"

"Grudge, no, Kevin, I just used too much force... I really don't have a grudge against Damien... Really not..."

Seeing Xiao Du's expression of disbelief, Li Ke thought: he must find a way to speed up his adaptation to this S-level power.

So, the day's training is over.

Although he was tired, Li Ke borrowed a car from Russell Spleman, took a trip to Kassie, and bought two sets of strength training equipment.

"Plus an hour of strength training every day, that's the first step."

In the second step, Li Ke decided to start with diet.

He found the phone number of a local housekeeping company in Austin from the newspaper, and hired a Filipino maid to take care of his three meals a day.

"That PJ guy is 196 tall but weighs 116 kilograms. His chassis is very strong. I'm not used to my strength until now. Maybe it's also related to my weight. It's time to hang on..."

With the addition of strength training, daily efforts to gain weight, and the persistent three-point training, Li Ke's schedule is even more full.

So busy, spent half a month.

The time is very close to the opening day of the new season, and the schedule has also been released.

The NCAA schedule is more complicated and is generally divided into four stages:
In the preseason, teams from different leagues will meet each other. The results of this schedule will not affect the league's regular season ranking or championship ranking, but it will affect the evaluation of the selection committee during March Madness.

Then there is the regular season in the league, also known as the regular season. Teams in the same league play against each other. No.1 is the champion of the regular season, and the rest enter the league championship according to their ranking.

In the league championship, the rules of each league are different. For the Big [-] league, they will use the regular season record, the top four teams will have a bye in the first round, and the remaining eight teams will face off in pairs and be eliminated in a single game.

The winner enters the next round, challenges the top four in the regular season, and then continues to be eliminated in a single game until the champion is determined.

The champion of the tournament will go straight to March Madness, and the remaining teams, if they want to get a seat in March Madness, will have to look at the selection committee's decision.

Therefore, even in the preseason, the outcome is very important.

In the new season, the Longhorns' first opponent will be the top school in the NCAA, the prestigious University of North Carolina.

"You know what, I almost went to North Carolina."

When he learned that his opponent in the first game was North Carolina, Xiao Du was a little emotional.

The reason Li Ke thought of immediately: "Is it because of Ty Lawson?"

"That's right, that guy was my childhood friend and my teammate in Oak Hill High School. When choosing a school, he tried very hard to persuade me to go to North Carolina..."

"Then why didn't you go?"

"Why didn't I go? There are many reasons. Russell is the main reason. He found me when I was a sophomore in high school. He taught me a lot in high school, and my coach at Montrose Christian Academy, Mr. Stewart. He and Coach Barnes are good friends. He told me that Coach Barnes has the ability to make me a better player."

Li Ke understood and nodded.

Xiao Du immediately reminded: "In the opening match, your task will be very heavy. You know Taylor Hansbrough, right?"

Tyler Hansbrough, of course Li Ke knew.

A white forward, swinging between the third and fourth positions. At the University of North Carolina, this guy's status is even higher than that of Michael Jordan, who also came from North Carolina. He can be regarded as the No. 1 in North Carolina.

But when he entered the NBA later, he failed to play the performance that people expected, but every March, he would explode for a while.

So, someone said: This guy was born for March Madness!
"Coach Barnes will most likely hand over Hansbrough to you, and let me deal with Brandon Wright. These days, you should think about how to deal with Hansbrough."

How to deal with Hansbrough, Li Ke has no idea yet.

But Xiao Du did remind him, he decided to look for Hansbrough's video and make an assault for two days.
