I'm not really a role player

Chapter 57 Sheldon is the Dark Horse (Please recommend!)

After Stein Hayes' roar, Patrick Beverly no longer appeared next to Xiao Du.

But he didn't act honestly because of this. With the score already widened, Beverly directly directed 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 will not score again..."

Li Ke is not Sony Weems who can't fight back when he hits or scolds. He naturally retorted: "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. It is impossible for him to answer such a low-end provocation directly. He can only hum: "We will talk about it after you score."

"Okay, then you..."

In the middle of the sentence, seeing Beverly slightly distracted, Li Ke immediately took a step and speeded up instantly...

"The Hogs canceled their aggressive defense on Kevin Durant, Patrick Beverley went to deal with the hot Sheldon at the moment..."

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

From the corner of the eye, I estimated the distance between Beverly and the defense, about half a step is enough.

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

There is only a 6-foot-10 center center Darion Downs who is at the same level as Connor Achley under the basket.

Xiao Du held the ball, although he could easily defeat Charles Thomas' defense, but seeing Li Ke rushing to the basket without hesitation, he still couldn't help passing the ball, because he wanted to see a wonderful dunk even more.

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

"Sheldon, he got the pass, he's going to dunk!"

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

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

"Oh my God!"

Boom!
Then the referee's whistle sounded.

Everyone thought that 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 a huge force...

"Sheldon actually ignored Patrick Beverley's pull and still completed this dunk. It's unbelievable. How terrifying is his strength and explosion?"

"Congratulations and sadness to Patrick Beverley, who escaped a flagrant foul call!"

Beverly was stunned. Li Ke, who had landed on the ground, stretched out his hand towards him, as if to pull him up. He looked very friendly, but his mouth was relentless:
"Patrick, I've scored, now it's time for you to express your thoughts!"

Slap, Beverly knocked off Li Ke's hand, and stood up by himself.

Li Ke smiled, this smile was quite ironic.

Walking to the free throw line, Li Ke executed the extra penalty, and with a bang, he missed.

"2+1 still didn't make it. Since I started commenting on the University of Texas game, I haven't seen Sheldon hit an extra free throw. It's two free throws. He always hits the first free throw to win the second free throw, and then continues to miss the second free throw."

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

Although the extra penalty was not scored, the score was opened again.

Beverly still wanted to challenge Li Ke, but after the hidden flagrant foul, Li Ke was no longer polite.

His strength exploded, his speed was as usual, and he always gave it his all. The small and scrappy Beverly was completely overwhelmed.

Off the court, Steinhayes was a little hysterical.

But on the court, Beverly has already taken the lead, and Sony Weems has no chance of being locked by Li Ke's defense.

The Wild Boars' top two scorers have become abnormal, but Xiao Du, who was messed up in the opening period, gradually found his touch in a relaxed defensive environment and hit mid-range and long-range shots one after another.

The score was opened as early as Li Ke's burst of 9 points in a row.

In the follow-up, the University of Texas, which was already superior in strength, continued to expand its advantages and establish a victory...

"In the 40-minute battle, it was only the first three or four minutes that really made people feel nervous."

Shannon Sharp shook his head: "That's why I don't like to comment on the No. [-] seed's crazy March trip. Their games are always so suspenseless..."

The biggest highlight of March Madness is the sense of suspense brought about by a certain outcome.

The suspense is gone, and the game is meaningless.

Generally speaking, the first two rounds of matches between the top seeds in the four divisions are basically without suspense.

Of course, sometimes upsets happen.

But so far, the NCAA has not had a super upset of the No. 16 seed beating the No. [-] seed.

And 32 into 16, the No. 8 or No. 9 seed defeating the No. [-] seed still happens from time to time, but the probability of it happening is not high.

The last time was March Madness in 04, when two top seeds were overthrown. The No. 9 seed University of Alabama at Birmingham defeated the No. [-] seed University of Kentucky, and the University of Alabama Crimson Tide team from another division defeated another No. [-] seed Stanford University.

In March Madness in 05 and 06, there was no such upset.

Marikarillo looked at Shannon Sharp with a regretful face: "You seem to hope that the Longhorns will be upset..."

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

Shannon Sharp shook his head: "No, I just want to make the game more intense. In fact, if I have to be honest, I hope the Longhorns can win all the way."

"You know, sometimes a dark horse not only refers to a team, but it may also point to a certain player. In my opinion, Shelton is the most amazing dark horse of the season. Before the start of the NCAA, he was unknown, but then he rose all the way; from failing to enter the draft prediction list, he rose directly to the middle of the first round of the draft market; no one thought he could start in the Longhorns, but he was finally selected to the best team of the Big [-]..."

After listening to the long list of testimonials, Maricarillo joked with a smile: "No one thinks he can start in the Longhorns. It's you, Shannon."

"Yes, I admit that I underestimated Sheldon at that time, but that was only because Sheldon was unknown at the time and he was from China. Among the Chinese players, I only saw the 7-foot-6 Yao and the 7-foot Wang who played amazing individual performances. At most, I added Battelle who was also 7 feet tall. I thought that Chinese basketball only had big players..."

"Well, Shannon, it seems that Sheldon has subverted your cognition, but you may not know that in the ABA, there is another Chinese player with a similar height to Sheldon, who will have a second-round prospect in the draft three months later."

"ABA? Ha!"

"..."

Chatting, the game ended quickly.

The University of Texas finally beat the University of Arkansas with a score of 77 to 60, winning the key battle of 32 into 16.

Xiao Du broke out later and scored 30 points. Li Ke's performance was more critical, but his score was 3 points lower than Xiao Du's. However, his personal score of 27 points still created Li Ke's personal scoring record once again.

One game is better than the other, which is the result Li Ke wants.

On the sidelines of the field, the losing Wild Boars left the field without looking back.

Li Ke is quite regretful, he also wants to communicate with Beverly and Sony Weems.

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

And, he scored another 20 points after Beverly let go of the harsh words that would not allow him to score again.

He wondered how Beverly was feeling now.

……

Indianapolis, the game is over, Larry Bird got up, walked to the door of the office, opened the door, made a gesture of please.

"I'm off work, Joe."

"Then Sheldon..."

Joe Henson frowned. He wanted to know how Larry Bird would deal with the next investigation of Li Ke.

"Whether he's the type of player I'm thinking of or not, we could use a late lottery pick to pick him, so keep looking..."
