I'm not really a role player

Chapter 71 From the beginning, it was a whole night (recommended tickets please!)

The time has come to March 3, and there are only more than two hours left before the start of the semi-finals.

Greg Oden quietly applies ice to his right hand in the Ohio State locker room at the Georgia Dome.

Sadmata, the head coach of Ohio State University, opened the door and entered the locker room. He immediately looked at Oden and asked with concern, "Greg, are you okay with your injury?"

Oden raised his right arm and waved it. "No problem, Coach."

"That's good." Sadmata nodded, then turned around, facing all the Ohio State players: "Let's talk about this game."

……

"I don't want to mention the importance of this game, because all fools know it, and I don't want to treat you as fools..."

In the locker room of the University of Texas, Rick Barnes is holding a tactical board and talking freely.

"The tactics to be played in this game, the details of the matchup, and the opponents that need to be paid attention to, we have already informed them two days in advance. I don't want to repeat it again, but just in case, I still want to emphasize a few key points..."

Two days ago, the coaching staff arranged the tactical play and defensive matchup for this semi-final match. At that time, Li Ke already knew that his opponent was neither Oden nor Conley, but Ron Lewis.

The original words of Rick Barnes are as follows: "Sheldon, don't underestimate your opponent. Although his NBA prospect is at most only at the end of the second round, it is because he is too old. If he is as young as you, his predicted pick will definitely be higher than you."

That's right, Ron Lewis is too old. He played for Bowling Green State University before, and later transferred to Ohio State University, so he sat for a year as a ball supervisor, and he is already a senior this year.

At the beginning of the season, Mike Conley led the team to a strong winning streak. In fact, half of the credit belongs to Ron Lewis.

And this is also reflected in the statistics. Except for Oden, Ron Lewis's scoring average is the highest in the Ohio State team.

Chris Price profiled Ron Lewis two days ago:

"This guy shoots the ball really well, catches and shoots the ball from anywhere on the court, hits it..."

Isn't this another me?
Li Ke thought of it this way, such a player is actually not difficult to defend, what needs to be guarded is not to give him any chance to make an easy shot.

Therefore, on the defensive end, Li Ke's pressure is not great.

Moreover, he also understands that if he wants to win this game, he cannot rely on defense. The University of Texas must be fully fired from the very beginning of the game.

In the locker room, Rick Barnes, who said he was not emphasizing anything, spit all over the place, but Li Ke underneath made eye contact with Xiao Du.

……

The Georgia Dome, even though it was just a semifinal match, filled 71000 seats.

When the University of Texas entered the field, the players were stunned by the stands that were taller than the next.

"My God, there are too many people!"

"1000 people, it should be full, right?"

"call!"

Everyone started to get nervous, and Li Ke felt sweaty palms.

But on the surface, they still showed a ruthless look. It seemed that they had already won the upcoming war.

Ohio State also played, and like UT, everyone was deadpan.

But in the subsequent warm-up, the scene where Greg Oden rushed to the basket, jumped up and dunked lightly, but dunked the ball, still made people aware of his nervousness.

On the other side, Xiao Du also missed three uncontested three-pointers that he would not have missed at all.

On the contrary, Li Ke, under the big scene, behaved extremely calmly, shooting all kinds of shots during the warm-up, shooting casually, and scoring casually!
"The characteristics of the competition, activated?"

Li Ke did not expect that the characteristics of the competition were actually activated, and the semi-finals were activated, which seemed to explain the importance of this game from the side.

Although only a 20% bonus is not enough for Li Ke to break through the upper limit of the skill talent level, but for an NCAA level game, a 20% bonus is enough.

During the warm-up, Li Ke was standing next to Xiao Du. He made repeated shots, but Xiao Du hit the frame in various ways.

So, Xiao Du stretched out his hand: "Hey, Sheldon, give me some touch."

Without hesitation, Li Ke stretched out his right hand and slapped Xiao Du.

"Don't forget our strategy, Kevin."

"Of course!"

It seems that Li Ke and Xiao Du have an unknown agreement.

In the commentary booth of CBS, the discussion about this game started early.

"Actually, I don't understand why, before this game, almost everyone is optimistic about Ohio State University. In my opinion, there is no difference in strength between these two teams."

It was not Shannon Sharpe or Marikarillo who expressed his personal opinions, but ESPN columnist Bill Simmons who appeared as a guest in this game.

"Ohio State is strong on the inside, Texas is strong on the outside..."

Shannon Sharp shook his head: "Bill, I think you may have underestimated the influence of a big center. If Greg Oden plays a role, the entire offensive system of the University of Texas will be affected."

"That's right, this is the NCAA. Zone defense is allowed, and there is no defense for three seconds. This is a big bonus to the big center."

Marikarillo also holds the same view, and is more specific, but Bill Simmons still holds the opposite view: "I don't think so, the University of Texas in this game is likely to subvert your perception."

Near the CBS commentary booth, Yangwu, who was also allowed to enter the venue, also had a broadcast commentary area. Director Zhang and Yu Jia wore thick headphones, and against the noise of the audience, they announced hoarsely:

"This is CCTV, CCTV5 channel. The semifinals of the NCAA tournament are being broadcast live. The two sides are the University of Texas and Ohio State University. Among them, the University of Texas team has a young player from our country, Li Ke..."

During this period of time, domestic reports about Li Ke were overwhelming.

Most fans already know that on the other side of the ocean, in a fanatical basketball pure land called NCAA, there is a young Chinese swingman who has reached the final four with his team and is only two steps away from the championship.

From the beginning of March Madness, Li Ke's every step is already making history.

At one o'clock in the afternoon in the United States, and late at night in China, there were still many fans waiting in front of the TV.

After all, this is the first NCAA game broadcast in China.

The existence of Li Ke gave all fans a sense of belonging to this game.

"The game has started, friends, hurry up, get up!"

In a certain university dormitory, the TV with snowflakes was buzzing. The tall boy ran to the balcony to adjust the antenna, and finally it was clearer. When he returned to the dormitory, he patted the bed and woke up a few friends who slept with him.

"I'm so sleepy, it's okay, the game has started..."

In the living room of a certain community, the lights are dim, the room is filled with the sound of sleeping parents snoring, the sound of the TV is turned down very low, and sitting on the sofa is a boy about sixteen or seventeen years old.

"Finally off work, the time is just right, the game is about to start!"

In a certain first-tier city, a white-collar worker who just got off work hurried home without doing anything, and turned on the TV.

"It's started, it's started, don't talk, it's all quiet!"

A provincial youth team, basketball teenagers gathered together.

"..."

The screen on the TV, the lens has been aimed at the center of the court.

First, the referee holding the basketball flashed by, and then the starters of the two teams stood in the center of the court.

The game is finally about to start.

(About the update, let me say a few words, I didn't deliberately press the rhythm, and I didn't delay the update.

Before it goes on the shelves, it must only be updated twice a day, and the number of words in each chapter will not be too many, because Yiwen will publish the book in early November, and there will be a two-month new book issue. If there are too many words written, or too many updates, then it is a dead end. Many authors should have said this, right?

It will definitely explode after it is put on the shelves. The first-day update will not be less than 2 words at present, and the follow-up daily [-]-word update will also be standard, and additional updates will also be arranged. Detailed regulations will be made when it is put on the shelves.

For the plot of the final four finals, it is necessary to write a little more off-site. Many of them are foreshadowing laid before, and many of them are plots that will be used later. It is definitely impossible not to write.

The competition on the field is a bit like putting old water in a new bottle, but Yi Wen will try his best to make the competition more exciting.

Finally, I would like to remind you once again that a recommendation ticket is equal to a word updated on the first day of release, so let’s drop a recommendation ticket! )
　Thanks WaghdohM for the reward!
