Chapter 28 Trash Talk Is Useful
With the block lore and the front page of "USA TODAY" sports, Li Ke finally made a splash in North America.

At least, after this game, NCAA practitioners already know:
This year's University of Texas Longhorn team has a freshman from China who plays as a forward and has excellent defense. He is good at cutting and scoring, with excellent speed and strength.

Averaged 11.7 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2 steals per game so far in the preseason...

In the NCAA, Li Ke is already a worthy opponent.

That was immediately evident in the University of Texas' next preseason game against the College of the Holy Cross from the Patriot League.

In order to prevent Li Ke's defense from threatening their leading scorer, Keith Simmons, Holy Cross College added a lot of pick-and-roll offenses that they hadn't played before.

But it was useless. Xiao Du's outside shot directly killed the bully of this minor league.

Only two days later, the University of Deutschland was at home again, ushering in the challenge of the University of Valmont in the American-Spanish League.

This time, the opponent was a bachelor. They released the team's top scorer, Mike Trimpoli, to attract Li Ke's defense, and then gave the ball to the second scorer, Joe Trapani.

Facing the short perimeter combination of the University of Texas, Joe Trapani scored again and again, and the efficiency was not low.

But the huge gap in strength still caused Vermont to lose the game.

The University of Texas' winning streak has become even more unstoppable, and Li Ke's performance is getting better and better.

But in the latest issue of "Sports Illustrated", he still hasn't found his name in the list of draft predictions.

Xiao Du is still the No. [-] pick on the list, but Greg Oden is still No. [-] on the list.

Even so, Xiao Du still couldn't be happy. He always felt that as long as Oden appeared in the game and played a qualified performance, he would immediately lose the current No. [-] spot and become the No. [-] in the United States again.

So, he repeatedly complained in front of Li Ke: "He obviously didn't play a game..."

Li Ke can only sigh secretly: the essence of human beings is a repeater.

Xiao Du has said the same thing many times.

However, even Li Ke himself didn't notice that he was actually repeating the study.

"I'm still not on the list, Kevin, I'm afraid you have to go to the NBA first, and I can only stay in the NCAA for one more year."

Li Ke has said things like this many times.

In the past, Xiao Du always comforted Li Ke: There is nothing wrong with playing two more seasons in the NCAA.

This time, things seem to have changed.

"No, Shelton, the preseason is just a foretaste. The main event is the regular season and the regular season. After finishing the regular season and the regular season, with your current strength, you will definitely be favored by the NBA."

Li Ke didn't notice Xiao Du's inconsistency, but he was very satisfied with Xiao Du's latest comfort.

He agrees with Xiao Du very much. The preseason game is just an appetizer. From the perspective of the schedule, there are too many weak teams in the minor league and its warm-up nature, which leads to such a game, which is destined to receive little attention.

The following regular season is different from the regular season. The regular season determines the ranking, and the regular season determines who is the number one seed in the Big [-]. Almost every game is a bayonet-like fight.

Especially against opponents like the University of Kansas Jayhawks, Big [-] All-NBA player Brandon Rush, All-Rookie team member Julian Wright, future NCAA Final Four mop Mario Chalmers...

Every game, every matchup, and every moment is an opportunity for Li Ke to prove himself.

……

In the last game of the preseason, the University of Texas' opponent was Davidson College of the Southern Conference.

Li Ke always felt that he had heard the name of Davidson College before. When Rick Barnes read the name of the top scorer in this minor league class, Li Ke suddenly realized.

"Stephen Curry, this guy is the son of Dell Curry, just like his father, he is good at long shots..."

"He is also a freshman. I have to say that he is underestimated. During the admissions season, no traditional prestigious school is willing to take him..."

"In the end, he had to go to Davidson College in the Southern League, but now, his performance in the minor leagues is only a little worse than Kevin's. They are all phenomenal, but he lost a little bit more. Considering that it is a minor league and there are no strong teammates, many people's evaluation of him will rise a level."

"That's about the same as Kevin..."

Rick Barnes immediately turned to Li Ke: "Sheldon, the old rules, he will leave it to you."

Li Ke readily accepted this brand new opponent.

"First it was the third young master of the Thunder, and now there is the cute god Curry. Compared with Xiao Du, this guy's three-pointer should be more suitable for me."

Unfortunately, after this preseason game, it will be difficult for the University of Texas to meet Davidson again.

This means that if Li Ke chooses to enter the NBA after the end of this season, the next encounter between him and Curry will be two or three years later.

Perhaps aware of this, Li Ke has been very active since his debut in the final game of the preseason.

Not only did Curry put a lot of pressure on the defensive end, but he also beat his chest in various ways, roared in various ways, and showed his passionate side in various ways.

Unlike usual, he also talked a lot more.

When he was on the defensive end, when Curry, who was squeezed by his strength advantage, staggered, he would open his mouth and taunt: "Stephen, you are too thin, and you are about to fall before I use all my strength."

When he jumped high and blocked Curry's sight with his hands, he would open his mouth and mock: "Stephen, you are too short, I dare not jump too high, otherwise, you will stare at my crotch and shoot."

When he quickly steals Curry and completes the counterattack, he still opens his mouth to mock: "It's too easy, it's too easy."

Until the end of the game, the University of Texas won an easy victory. Stephen Curry, who lost the ball and performed poorly, dropped a sentence with a cold face: "You are an annoying opponent. I really want to use Sander's stinky socks. Stop your mouth, and wait, see you next time, I will definitely blow you up."

Sander is the power forward of Davidson College. He looks very abstract and seems to be a bit sloppy. He looks like he hasn't showered in months. His curly hair is shiny and frozen, and a layer of dirt can even be seen floating on the surface of his bare skin.

Throughout the game, the court at the Frank Irving Center had a foul smell.

Xiao Du, who was facing Sander, applied to switch defenses several times, but did not get permission from Rick Barnes.

Rick Barnes even joked: "That guy is a chemical weapon trained by Davidson College. Others can't deal with it. Only you, Kevin, and only you can deal with him. Work harder, beat him until he leaves the field, and the problem will be solved."

Uh, Xiao Du was very upbeat. In the 11th minute of the second half, Sander fouled and left the field.

Li Ke didn't take Curry's last words to heart. For him, this game was just a test.

As soon as the game ended, he entered the system and checked Curry's hostility value.

"It went up to 11 o'clock directly. It seems that trash talking is very useful?"
