I'm not really a role player

Chapter 55 Chaos into a Pot of Congee (Please recommend tickets!)

美国时间2007年3月17日，NCAA疯狂三月32进16淘汰赛拉开序幕，16场比赛陆续开打。

Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Spokane, Washington.

The game between the University of Texas Longhorns and the University of Arkansas Wildboars is one of those 16 games.

The battle is imminent, and in the locker room, the teammates are not nervous at all, and they even talk and laugh.

"After this game, we're in the Sweet 16."

"Where did we hit last year?"

"Elite 8, lost to the LSU Tigers."

"I still remember that game. I came off the bench and got blown away by Darryl Mitchell."

Captain Abrams was the only one who stayed on the team among the players who played last year. His face recalled:

"However, LaMarcus was also blown up in that game. Glenn Davis performed much better than him. If it weren't for Daniel's four three-pointers, we might have lost even worse."

"So, this year our goal is to guarantee the top four..."

Li Ke was an audience member, turned his head, and noticed that Xiao Du didn't seem to be an audience member, and was staring at the TV in the dressing room.

"Nick Young, he passed Sean Marshall, went straight to the rim..."

"The ball is in!"

"USC's strategy is very successful, and Nick Young's one-on-one scoring efficiency is extremely high!"

As if sensing that Li Ke was looking at him, Xiao Du turned his head and asked, "Who do you think will win?"

Li Ke shrugged: "It's hard to say. Although USC has the advantage now, Boston College is not a vegetarian. Jared Dudley's scoring has not stopped."

Xiao Du nodded and stopped talking.

Whether it is USC or Boston College, it has nothing to do with the current University of Texas.

However, once DU beat the University of Arkansas in this game, USC and Boston College have a relationship with DU.

The winner between these two schools will be the opponent of the University of Deutschland 16 into 8...

"Speaking of which, the 16-to-8 match is going to Winston-Salem, across most of the United States..."

Rick Barnes entered the locker room, and the game was about to start. He stopped talking clichés and just arranged the tactical matchup of the game.

As usual, Li Ke's opponent is always one of the top two scorers on the opposite side. Facing the Wild Boars, he needs to defend against Sony Weems.

……

The Veterans Memorial Stadium, which is usually the home stadium of Eastern Washington University, is filled with the red and black colors of the Eagles on weekdays, but today it is filled with the orange of the Longhorns and the red of the Wild Boars.

The team flags were unfurled, and all [-] seats were full.

After the appearance of the two young teams, the audience resounded with wild cheers and screams.

Xiao Du stood in the center of the field and turned his eyes to the other side of the field. He saw his opponent, Charles Thomas, a power forward who was only 2 meters tall and weighed as much as 06 pounds. He shook his head secretly: Such an opponent cannot defend me.

From a distance, Patrick Beverly came over, and he stopped Xiao Du.

"Hey KD, I heard you made a lot of disparaging remarks in front of the media?"

I?Kevin Durant?Made a lot of contemptuous remarks in front of the media?
Xiao Du spread his hands, wanting to show that he knew nothing about it.

But he suddenly thought of Li Ke's words: despise in words, but value in heart...

"So what..."

"Then you just wait, this game, I will let you take back your words."

"Just like that?"

"You'll regret it, KD, you'll absolutely regret it!"

Beverly's expression became fierce. Not far away, Li Ke nodded secretly: That's right, that's what Beverly the mad dog is like!

When the referee holds the ball and walks to the center of the court, the game is declared to have started.

Li Ke stood in his own position and stared at his opponent - Sony Weems.

Sony Weems' full name is Clarence Sony Weems. When he was in the NBA, domestic fans called him Sony Weems.

After going to the CBA later, everyone discovered that Sony was just a nickname in the middle, and Clarence Weems was the guy's real name.

On the basketball court, Sony Weems plays a bit like James, and his height and body are all smaller, so he has the nickname of Little James.

Li Ke's current defensive characteristics happen to restrain this little James.

Without a long-range shot, he just took one or two steps, and it was not too easy to prevent a sudden attack without thinking.

Therefore, when the Wild Boars won the jump ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, Li Ke, whose confidence had leaked out against Sony Weems, also imitated Beverly and provoked a verbal dispute:
"Sony, I heard that you are going to create an upset?"

The game had just started, and Wilms hadn't got the ball yet. He stopped on the left side of the top of the arc, and then glanced at Li Ke: "Don't call me Sony, call me Clarence."

Li Ke probably understood what Weems meant, and only people who knew him well could be called Sony.

"It's impossible to be unpopular, Sony, I promise, you won't score in double figures in this game."

Sony Weems was naturally dissatisfied, but on the other hand, he also understood that Li Ke's defense was really good. When he raised his attention, he was also aroused by Li Ke to fight.

In a circle, Sony Weems received the ball.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ke bumped into Charles Thomas who was pulled to the outside to provide cover.

Wilms used the cover to get rid of Li Ke, and immediately met Xiao Du's supplementary defense.

He wanted to avoid Li Ke, but he didn't expect that Xiao Du's defense was not weak at all, and his long arms enveloped him tightly.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, Wilms decisively chose to pass the ball.

"Charles Thomas got the ball, and it was Sheldon guarding him, and it looked like he could play big and small..."

In the commentary seat of CBS, Shannon Sharp's speech was very flat, and then there was a turning point, and he said with a smile: "Although, there is a high probability that he will not be able to fight."

Charles Thomas's forte is to rely on strength to advance to the frame or behind the frame, and then wait for an opportunity to make a mid-range jumper.

But he didn't expect that his first step, relying on strength to break through, would suffer a fiasco.

He rushed, and Li Ke opened his arms, firmly clamping him.

Charles Thomas could only turn around, and then pushed forward twice in a back-to-back position, still motionless.

He already felt the excessive power gap, and in desperation, he could only pass the ball back.

"The tactical quality of the Wild Boars is still very high. There are almost no forced shots or random shots..."

Arkansas played very reasonably, but reasonable is reasonable. It is basically impossible to reorganize the offense and try to tear through the University of Texas' defense line because there is not enough time.

In the end, Beverly scored a three-pointer.

boom!
The basketball hit the frame and was picked off by Xiao Du.

"Counterattack counterattack!"

On the field, someone yelled, and Li Ke rushed out sullenly.

Then, another voice suddenly sounded in my ear: "Return to defense, return to defense!"

From the corner of the eye, Li Ke, who saw Sony Weems suddenly turned back, was a little surprised. When he looked up, he saw that the basketball was already in Beverly's hands.

"Patrick Beverley came out of nowhere and took the basketball out of Kevin Durant's hands!"

Beverly, who completed the interception, went all the way to the basket and made a layup. The Wild Boars scored first!

"Steals, one-stop layups, Patrick Beverley is in excellent form for this game!"

Beverly, who put on a personal show, kept waving his arms, and then put his right hand next to his ear. The Wild Boars fans responded immediately, cheering wildly, and the Longhorns fans booed.

Xiao Du who was dumbfounded, Beverly who was excited, Li Ke who was frowning, and Sony Weems who was dormant in secret.

The entire Veterans Memorial Coliseum is a mess...
