I'm not really a role player

Chapter 20
In the game against North Carolina, Li Ke, who scored 14 points, 4 rebounds and 2 steals, did not get the attention of the NBA.

In Li Ke's own words: At this time, he is still far away from the NBA.

It was Durant, who made the NBA crazy after World War I.

Xiao Du was mentioned in the report of "USA Today", and the headline was: 37 points in the first show, the new star of Deda University conquered countless NBA executives!

Note, executives, not scouts.

The title seems to be a bit speculative, but the content of the article includes a telephone interview with an unnamed NBA executive. In the interview, the executive said: Durant's performance has surprised many NBA executives. If necessary, they will try to get Durant at all costs.

This means that it is going to be bad for Durant.

Who was the last NCAA player who made NBA teams compete to be bad?

Tim Duncan!

Flying from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, to Durham International Airport, the University of Texas returned to Austin with a victory.

At Durham International Airport, Russell Spurman bought a copy of USA TODAY and read the Durant article in front of a crowd.

"Hey, KD, did you hear that, there's an NBA team trying to screw you over!"

"Don't take it seriously, it's just a so-called unnamed executive. I don't know if it was fabricated by USA Today."

Xiao Du was very modest, and Abrams patted him on the back directly: "Stop pretending, Kevin, this is USA Today!"

"If it weren't for the fact that the topic involved the unspoken unspoken rules of the NBA, I am afraid that this NBA executive, who did not want to be named, would directly express with great fanfare who he is!"

"By the way, Kevin, if you participate in the draft, which team do you want to go to?"

"Washington Wizards? Boston Celtics? Or Houston Rockets? I don't know..."

Durant didn't have a clear favorite NBA team. He was born in Washington and was a fan of Tracy McGrady and Anthony Walker. Therefore, the first thing he thought of was these three teams.

"If it were me, I would choose the Rockets. I have been their fan since I was a child."

Augustin has a clear banner. He was born in New Orleans, but at that time, the Hornets were still in Charlotte, and they moved to New Orleans in 02.

The closest NBA team to New Orleans is the Rockets. In high school, Augustin played for High Tower High School in Missouri City, which is closer to Houston. Later, he transferred to Martin Brothers High School in Houston, and attended the high school graduation ceremony at the Toyota Center in Houston.

It can be said that Augustin was influenced by the Rockets all the way.

"How about we join the Rockets together, KD?"

Augustine made a naive proposal, and Xiao Du shook his head decisively: "No, DJ, my goal is the champion."

"Well, it depends on who has the worst record this season."

"Judging from the first few games of the season, the Memphis Grizzlies have a good chance."

"Kevin, if you were to go to Memphis, would you be willing?"

Li Ke also interjected, because he thought of Steve Francis, but at that time, the Grizzlies were still in Vancouver.

"Of course, as long as they are willing to let me become the champion!"

It seems that Xiao Du has a deep obsession with the champion.

Li Ke also guessed the reason. Since high school, Xiao Du has always been No. [-] in the United States. Michael Beasley, who was the No. [-] in the U.S., was replaced by Greg Oden in the same class, but it was not his turn.

Xiao Du didn't want to be the second child for the rest of his life, he also wanted to be the boss once.

"Sheldon, how about you?"

For some reason, the topic came to Li Ke.

Li Ke is a little confused. It seems that he has not yet reached the time to talk about which NBA team he wants to join, but he still gave his answer.

"Any team that would take me with the draft pick."

A very simple and direct answer, even without Xiao Du and the others racking their brains to understand Li Ke's meaning, a freshman with no ranking or star rating in high school really can't be too ambitious.

They chatted wildly at the airport for a while, and after boarding the plane, everyone fell silent.

Li Ke asked for a blindfold, leaned on his seat and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he didn't take off the blindfold, but pretended to be sleeping and entered the system.

"New tip: Landry Fields cut has been upgraded to B."

Once you enter the system, you will be greeted with a system prompt.

The air cut has been promoted to B level, this is what Li Ke knew at the end of the game.

After playing the game, he didn't have time to enter the system to check it. Now, when he entered the system, he naturally went straight to the personal profile page.

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

Height: 199cm, Weight: 82kg, Armspan: 200cm,

Birthday: August 1988, 8. "

"Skills already possessed: D-level single defense, D-level steal, B-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."

The air cut has been promoted to the B level, which is already a flawless level. This level of air cut is enough for him to be in the NCAA.

Even in the NBA, this level of air cut is enough.

In addition to the change in the air cut, Li Ke also noticed the change in weight, from 80kg at the beginning to 82kg now, and the meat-hanging operation is progressing rapidly.

"The next step is still the same. Skills practice three-pointers, talents practice jumping, use training games and games to practice single defense."

Li Ke's three-pointers have been improving. From the beginning of non-confrontation training, he missed nine out of ten shots to the current five or six out of ten shots. The improvement has been quite large.

It's just that I don't know how far I need to progress before the system will give me a D-level skill.

And his understanding of single-defense also allowed him to see the shadow of C-level single-defense, which is a bit like a glimpse of the door in martial arts novels.

Finally, after practicing for a long time, there has been no progress in bouncing.

The plane landed in Austin, and the away journey of the University of Texas came to an end.

After getting off the plane, Li Ke received a call from Los Angeles.

"Sheldon, I watched yesterday's game, your performance was really great!"

On the other end of the phone, Russell Westbrook's loud voice rang out, and Li Ke smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you, Russell."

"You actually said thank you to me? The relationship has faded, and I'll buy a plane ticket to Austin!"

"No, Russell, the UCLA game is tomorrow, so you better prepare for the game. Tomorrow I will stand in front of the TV and watch your performance."
