And he still has three badge upgrades left. Now he has two options. One is to upgrade the defensive badge [Invulnerable], and the other option is to upgrade the [Anti-interference Shot] he just got, which is an offensive badge. .
This choice will also represent his next development direction!
If you choose to upgrade [Unbreakable], it means that he is a team player and likes to do things that are not reflected in the statistics but contribute to victory.
There seems to be no problem with this choice, but it also depends on who you are interested in!
For those superstars who have well-polished offensive skills, it is naturally good to improve their defensive skills.
But he is not a superstar, he is just a college player who can barely enter the NBA. If [Invulnerable] is fully used, although it may add more to the overall team, it will have almost no impact on his own draft. help!
It's the 21st century. Is there anyone who still wants to play basketball solely on defense?
Among those All-Star players who can get maximum-salary contracts, none of them have super offensive abilities and have their own skills on the offensive end.
If a player only defends but does not attack, then he will not have many fans!
Li Kaiming doesn't want to be that person. From the bottom of his heart, he wants to be a player like Jordan, not Rodman next to Jordan!
Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to use all three opportunities for [Anti-interference Shot], upgrading it to the full level, and the effect was to increase the hit rate of shots under interference by 10%.
It’s doubled ten times!
This is the power of the system!
After this upgrade, Li Kaiming is a completely different person compared to a few days ago. He is even stronger than before!
——
March 26, 9 p.m., St. Louis Dome.
The size of the dome stadium is much larger than the previous venues. When Li Kaiming walked into it for the first time, he was shocked by the huge floor area and large seating capacity of the arena!
According to the official statement of the venue, this dome stadium, which was built in the 1990s and looks like a public library, can accommodate nearly 80,000 spectators to watch the event at the same time when the power is increased!
With such a huge scale, it is really suitable to be used as the venue for the NCAA regional semifinals.
Today's audience is also very impressive, especially if you look around, there are about six or seven of the tens of thousands of audience members wearing Memphis-themed clothes. All kinds of blue and white decorations come together to form a large area that stretches as far as the eye can see. Memphis Ocean!
St. Louis is only four hours' drive from Memphis, so many fans drive to St. Louis to cheer for their home team!
Today’s nominally neutral ground is not actually neutral!
There was still half an hour before the start of the game, and the starting lineups of both sides were also displayed on the big screen in the center of the arena.
University of Memphis Tigers: Point guard Willie Kemp, shooting guard Elliott Williams, small forward Daniel Mack, power forward Wesley Weatherspoon, center Kaiming Li.
University of Northern Iowa Panthers: Point guard Ali Farrokhmanesh, shooting guard Brian Hacker, small forward Jake Koch, power forward Lucas Orrell, center Austin Pell.
Before entering the stadium, Li Kaiming accidentally glanced at somewhere in the front row of the auditorium, and suddenly his eyes lit up!
In a large sea of blue and white, Jiang Shan was wearing a Memphis-themed short-sleeved shirt, with a Memphis Tigers logo painted on her fair face. When she saw Li Kaiming looking at her, Jiang Shan's eyes were bent. He raised two crescent moons, waved his small fist at the same time, opened and closed his pink lips, and shouted something at him.
Although the distance was too far, Li Kaiming didn't hear what she said, but he could roughly tell from the shape of her mouth that it was "Come on!"
Li Kaiming smiled and waved to her, saying that he saw Jiang Shan's encouragement!
Although he had already been mentally prepared for the competition, when he saw Jiang Shan in the audience, something in his heart seemed to have filled in the last missing piece, and he instantly felt more at ease!
Game start!
The referee threw the ball into the sky, and then quickly ducked out!
Li Kaiming kicked off the ground and took off. When the ball reached its highest point, he clapped it with his hand and the ball landed accurately in Kemp's hands!
The opposite center Austin Pell was already used to this. He just quickly returned to the backcourt after losing the jump ball and was not too surprised.
Obviously, before the game, the University of Northern Iowa conducted a very in-depth analysis of Li Kaiming!
Li Kaiming came to the frontcourt, and instead of playing pick-and-roll with Kemp according to the usual tactics, he dived into the inside.
The University of Northern Iowa's interior height is very good. Starting center Pell is 2.1 meters tall, and backup center Jordan Egeside is 2.13 meters tall. They are a properly large team.
Faced with such an opponent, Li Kaiming's best way to deal with it is naturally to take advantage of the opponent's slow pace and break through the penalty area.
But his ball-holding ability is too poor, and he is not yet at the level where he can launch an offense from the outside, so he can only catch the ball inside.
As soon as he got into position at the waist, Kemp lobbed the ball in.
The moment he caught the ball, before he could even look at the basket, the opposite small forward Jack Koch double-teamed him!
It came so quickly!
But you can't pass the ball easily at this time, because the double-team has not been completely formed at this time, and the space left for Daniel Mack is not very enough, so what he has to do is to break through further!
I saw Li Kaiming immediately put the ball down after receiving the ball. He only patted it once, then raised the ball with both hands and ran towards the basket!
The upgraded 80 speed attribute is so fast that even the opposite small forward, Jack Koch, who is about 10 centimeters taller than Li Kaiming, was left behind by him the moment he took a step forward!
Not to mention center Pell. In the blink of an eye, Li Kaiming had already rushed to his side. Then he stretched out his long arm and flicked his wrist, and the basketball flew out of his fingertips in a spin, and then wiped the backboard. Fell into the basket!
And he was like a robot with too high a delay. The ball even hit the basket, and then he slowly stretched out his hand to interfere.
Li Kaiming scored the first goal, and it was one against two. The entire dome stadium instantly burst into cheers!
Jiang Shan clenched her fists in front of her body, her face filled with excitement!
The coach of the University of Northern Iowa, Ben Jacobson, was dumbfounded. He originally thought that his deployment was already in full swing!
But he didn't expect that Li Kaiming was like a loach, slithering into the penalty area, and the double team he deployed didn't even touch a hair of the latter!
There was cold sweat on Pell's forehead. Even before the game, coach Jacobson told him bluntly that he alone could not guard Li Kaiming, so he could only call for double-teaming.
I thought that if I was double-teamed, I would be fine if I defended the second and the first, but during the game I discovered that the opponent's center was faster than my own small forward!
What a slap in the face!
