Chapter 4 is beyond compare.
Basic attribute points (5): Can be used to enhance physical qualities, rare rewards, extremely high difficulty to obtain, please choose the direction of enhancement carefully, host
However, he still did not show a good attitude and waved his hand to dismiss them: "It is none of your business, assemble at the designated time."
Looking at the diagram of the 'standard action' for mid-range shots inside, Li Ao opened the system and viewed the stick figure animation of 'DeRozan's mid-range package.
In terms of flexibility, Li Ao believes that he should be considered exceptionally gifted, and his jumping ability also seems to be quite remarkable
Resisting the urge to open the activation gift pack, the assistant aunt said it well: playing basketball should have a sense of ritual. He first took a shower and changed into a set of pure white clothes
After the three left, Henry Bibby’s previously tense expression turned into one of profound sorrow
As for Shelby-Jordan getting beaten up, that is quite normal; everyone who can take him on wants to give him a beating
Li Ao accompanied Brown on a tour of the stadium, having previously visited twice but never having had the opportunity to explore it properly
Li Ao himself felt that there was little possibility of joining the school team, and he had already given up on that thought. As more perceptive observers, Vivian and Liam's expectations were dashed even earlier.
"Alright, thank you." There was a hint of gratitude in Li Ao's tone
Li Ao's impression of this white forward—nicknamed the White Mamba, the Human Victory Cigar
He decisively issued the command, and the prompt arrived
From the explanation in "Fundamentals of Basketball Teaching," he learned that the term "standard" refers to the most universally applicable shooting motion that has been summarized and concluded after extensive research by many experts. This motion is the most suitable for the majority of people in terms of jumping force, shooting force, and other aspects, while also being aesthetically pleasing
Upon seeing the training schedule, Liam asked in surprise, "Leo, is your school team's training schedule really this relaxed? You are all aspiring NBA players!"
I received news from his girlfriend's brother that he and his girlfriend went to Hawaii
The host can earn a certain number of achievement points by completing team training tasks, pre-match training tasks, and so on
On the contrary, they are not as averse to Li Ao, the newcomer; rather, they are more curious about him
"Oh, Leo, you arrived quite early," Manager Brown said warmly upon seeing Li Ao.
Speed, jumping ability, and flexibility are relatively more difficult and require more natural talent.
White Mamba immediately responded: "Sam, you cannot speak like that; we will be teammates from now on"
However, what does 'the training methods already possessed' mean? Is it obtained through a lottery? Or is it through learning?
Although not everyone fits this standard, he recalled that the mid-range shots of players like Kobe and Jordan are actually very close to this 'standard action'.
At noon, after finishing lunch, Liam went to his father's company for education
Vivian asked: "Leo, why did you choose number 0?"
Li Ao stated: "Most players on the school team are amateur athletes, and studying is the most important thing that comes first. In terms of true NBA prospects, our school may only have one or two; such training arrangements are normal."
Achievement points can be used for lottery draws, with the highest rewards including basic attribute points, action packs, skills, item cards, and more. The current lottery specification is: beginner level, with each draw consuming 1,000 achievement points
No one responded immediately, and Li Ao touched his nose.
Li Ao inquired about it, saying it was about learning how to do business, but he did not delve deeply into the books. In any case, just looking at Liam's苦哈哈 expression was already quite amusing, and there was no need to understand the苦哈哈 content.
Forget it, having him is already good enough. DeRozan can be considered one of the mid-range shooting experts of the new century, and his movements are quite aesthetically pleasing.
The atmosphere at the stadium is more awkward than Brown had imagined, but fortunately, there is White Mamba
Although there are strong doubts about the strength of this team, becoming a member of the school team still surprised Li Ao greatly
Vivian and Liam were even more excited than ever
If one must speak of regrets, Li Ao's greater regret is that the skills he acquired are unrelated to mid-range shooting; otherwise, it would have been even more perfect
Li Ao said: "Compared to others, my basketball skills are like a blank sheet of paper. I chose number 0, which signifies that I am starting my basketball journey from scratch"
The White Mamba stepped forward and extended his hand towards him: "Hello, I am Brian Scalabrine, the team captain, just call me Brian."
On Friday, the day after Li Ao joined the school team, his life remained unchanged, rising early for morning exercises and attending classes
Upon hearing this, the White Mamba had nothing more to say; indeed, their team was quite lively at the moment
Haha, how is that possible, coach? I think you are biased against him because he beat up Shelby.
On the day of the trial training, the basketball club rented the main competition venue, primarily to maintain appearances, as it is certainly not possible to train there regularly. In addition to hosting competitions, the main venue is also used for concerts and large-scale events
However, the speed, strength, and stamina are all higher than he anticipated, reaching a top-tier level in the NCAA
However, what troubles him the most now is not the newcomer Li Ao, but rather this teammate from the same period standing before him
He has participated in intra-school competitions, which also used NCAA rules, but with the weak performance of their department's team, which couldn't even compete against the Art Department, he never reached a point where he needed to understand the rules
He sorted out the documents and said, "Let me take you to the venue to have a look first, and then we can go get the training uniform later. It just so happens that the coach hasn't arrived yet."
Height: 197 centimeters, Wingspan: 211 centimeters
Weight: 89 kilograms
After three flashes of purple light, the names of the three activation rewards appeared on the screen, accompanied by descriptions following each name
He hasn't written much; this is his habit of contemplating matters
Liam next to him was reading the basketball club regulations that Li Ao received yesterday
Age: 18 years (August 1, 1981)
More features will be activated after meeting the conditions
First of all, he is certain of one thing: the system has indicated that attribute points are a rare reward that is extremely difficult to obtain, so he is unlikely to have another opportunity to directly enhance his attributes in the short term
Indeed, Coach, is there anything else you would like me to do
Attribute Points
After reading the prompt, Li Ao was glad that he did not just engage in impulsive consumption.
The first is achievement points
He reorganized his thoughts; this time it became simpler. The jumping height is too low, flexibility has already reached the top level and cannot be improved, stamina should be prioritized in training, and strength should be increased
Li Ao directly scolded the street.
Brown introduced, "This is our new teammate Leo"
Li Ao smiled and said, "Come here earlier to familiarize yourself with this place, Steve. I will trouble you to take care of things more in the future"
After the afternoon class, Li Ao went to the Memorial Stadium with Vivian and Liam to complete the procedures for joining the www.hetushu.com basketball club
He has also considered keeping these two attribute points, waiting to obtain another attribute point to raise the speed to 90
In each quarter, the NCAA does not have a 24-second shot clock, but rather a 35-second shot clock, with the aim of allowing teams more time to execute their strategies
Henry Bibby was not very willing to engage with Li Ao, but Li Ao took the initiative to bring up a topic and asked: "Coach, with so many trial participants, what do you see in me? Do you recognize that I am a gifted potential talent?"
He may be more capable of causing trouble than Shelby
Resisting the impulse to participate in the lottery, Li Ao had a thought and switched back to the main interface, opening the second sub-interface, the training mode, where another prompt appeared
Li Ao's reaction this time surprised Henry Bibby again, as this reaction seemed quite different from what he understood
System Activation Gift Pack: Upon activation, you will receive 3 activation rewards, which are random and all serve as practical rewards for the initial stage of the host's basketball career
Therefore, everything that is available now must be piled up, and one must not be stingy
To say it is like a blank sheet of paper is an insult to the blank sheet of paper
Note: 1. The evaluation is based on the overall strength of NCAA Division I leagues, 2. If physical fitness, skills, and fundamentals do not reach 60, they are considered below the basic level, 3. Evaluation levels: 60-69 is passing, 70-79 is good, 80-84 is excellent, 85-89 is first-class, 90-94 is top-level, 95-99 is beyond top-level
The host has consumed 3 basic attribute points. Congratulations, the host's speed has increased from 86 to 89. The host's speed has reached a bottleneck; the next stage is top-level, requiring the consumption of intermediate attribute points
He quite likes this answer
Without any impulse, he approached the desk in the living room and took out paper and pen
He issued a command in his mind and entered the achievement points interface, where several prompts popped up
Intermediate attribute points require the synthesis of 3 basic attribute points
The game is divided into two halves, with no concept of quarters. Each half lasts 20 minutes. Regarding fouls, both the NCAA and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) allow 5 fouls before a player is disqualified. Similarly, like FIBA, the NCAA does not have a defensive three-second rule
Upon first seeing Li Ao, they were quite surprised, as he did not appear to be someone who could have sent 'Xiao Lan Bi Er' to the hospital
In addition to the large main venue for hosting competitions such as basketball, baseball, and rugby, there are also two smaller venues for events like table tennis and billiards. Furthermore, there is a substantial area rented out for training purposes to various clubs, school teams, and individuals, as well as a commercial area he had previously visited.
However, this morning after he just returned from school, Vivian came to inform him that he would be training at the Memorial Stadium this afternoon
Training can certainly enhance physical fitness, but the limits that can be reached for various physical qualities are inevitably different. If we do not consider the impact on other physical conditions, strength and endurance should be easier to improve through training
Congratulations to the host for successfully being selected for the Trojan team, Reward: 1000 achievement points
Comprehensive evaluation
However, this training facility is not small, featuring 3 full-sized fields, along with a fairly large rest area and storage area for equipment, which is sufficient for daily training purposes
Li Ao discovered that he seemed unworthy to question the Trojan basketball team
The problem is that he currently has no advantages; when it comes to the school team, his only competitive edge is his physical condition
If it can be said that the teammates are afraid of the eccentric Shelby Jordan from www.hetushu.com, then they are simply annoyed by Sam Clancy
After the two left, the teammates began to chatter excitedly.
After class, Li Ao and Liam went to the library together to browse through a book mentioned by the professor
This text appears to be a combination of characters that do not form a coherent phrase or sentence in Simplified Chinese. It may be a typographical error or a non-standard expression.
Upon analysis, the matter has become straightforward
After greeting Li Ao, Brown said: "Brian, you continue with your work. Leo, I will take you to get your training uniform."
It is indeed very standard
Full pressure
Speed
Sam Clancy's attitude is not surprising to White Mamba and his former teammates from last season
College basketball resume: No competition experience that meets statistical requirements in the freshman season
However, after analysis, he believes that such an arrangement is the most reasonable
The result was unexpectedly selected! How can one not be delighted!
The host can earn achievement points by participating in competitions, completing competition tasks, and achieving training goals
As the 49th ranked genius among high school students nationwide in 1998, he received countless invitations from various teams, ultimately choosing the relatively mediocre USC Trojans. At that time, the media speculated that he likely held the mindset of 'better to be a head of a chicken than a tail of a phoenix'.
Forget it, think as you wish. By the way, do you know where Shelby is?
This teammate has a general disdain for those who play in the same position as him, or even for teammates of similar height, without specifically targeting anyone
... ...
Why didn't you say so earlier
The club manager Steve Brown, who was organizing Li Ao's membership information, said: "Leo is quite different from what I previously thought; I used to think he was another Shelby. I didn't expect him to have the face of a movie star, and he is not as arrogant as Shelby. On the contrary, he is very polite and does not seem as impulsive as the information suggests. Coach, he did not show any dissatisfaction with your attitude."
Although there is no training scheduled for today, many people are already training
The system will issue training tasks based on the actual conditions of the host and the training methods already possessed. Achievement points can be consumed to unlock training tasks, and upon completing the training objectives, additional training results will be obtained
In fact, it is because number 1 has been used, number 3 has also been used, and numbers 23 and 24 are still in use. As a Chinese person, he finds number 8 to be auspicious, but according to the regulations, he cannot choose it, so he can only select a number that is visually pleasing to him
Over time, he has become like this, feeling displeased whenever he sees potential competitors, filled with resentment
Technology: Not possessing the technical skills to reach a basic level
Henry Bibby, who had not spoken much, showed a slight change in his expression upon hearing this answer
However, if he were not accompanied by someone, he would indeed get lost during his first complete tour around.
For instance, the office areas of various school teams and clubs are located quite far apart, and the internal roads are intricate and complex; one would definitely feel disoriented if unfamiliar with the area
He walked to the Memorial Stadium and arrived at the office of the association
Not only is the planning on the main competition venue unreasonable, but the piecemeal addition of areas has also rendered the internal structure of the entire stadium very irrational
The black coal-headed individual known as 'Sam' is named Sam Clancy. Upon hearing this, he replied, "Yes, yes, yes, Captain, but he was never a good person to begin with; I am not speaking out of turn."
One should be grateful that it is not the action package of hackers, little emperors, and others
The content on the screen has transformed into images and text, with the homepage displaying basic information. He looked on with great anticipation
He never anticipated this at the beginning, but reality is so cruel; he has to compete physically with the American college students who possess the most basketball talent
Brown pretended to faint when he realized he couldn't defeat Shelby-Jordan. When the representative from the Computer Science College came to discuss compensation, he lay on the hospital bed moaning in pain. In the end, he received the money and jumped up from the hospital bed without even changing out of his patient gown, making a quick getaway. One truly wants to give a thumbs up for such an operation
The club manager brought someone in, and the team members gradually stopped their training activities to look at the two individuals
Every Friday, if there are no special arrangements, he has very few classes, just one class in the morning
Another prompt has arrived, consuming the last two attribute points, and strength has also been raised to 89, reaching a bottleneck
After preparing himself, he sat cross-legged on the bed, with his five hearts directed towards the heavens. Once his mind settled, he opened the system, accessed the task interface, claimed the activation gift pack, and unwrapped it
The overall strength is even below the passing line
But looking at DeRozan's mid-range shooting form... why isn't it Jordan's?
The content of the book was rather dull, and the two of them set it aside after flipping through it. Li Ao went to the sports area and found the book "Fundamentals of Basketball Teaching".
After joining the basketball team, Li Ao followed the expressionless coach to select a jersey number. After looking at the remaining numbers, he chose number 0
... ...
He recalled that on the day of the trial, when he was competing in speed, he focused on those perimeter players who were over 1.8 meters tall, and when he was competing in strength, he focused on those big guys who were over 2 meters tall. Perhaps in these aspects, he was not inferior to others of the same height; it was just that as a Chinese, he was accustomed to comparing himself with the best in everything
This bastard! Henry Bibby instantly exploded in anger: "What the hell is that old bastard Sean thinking, to give such a huge compensation!"
Fundamentals: Three-point shooting - (not at basic level), Mid-range shooting - (not at basic level), Layup 76, Ball handling 68, Passing 61
Brown saw Li Ao, a sunny boy with a backpack, smiling, and indeed, he was not as difficult to get along with as the head coach had said
While processing the membership application just now, the club manager mentioned that he is one of the 4 selected from the 151 students who underwent trials this year
However, playing basketball is not just about being able to run, jump, and being strong. The short point guard he saw that day, who was around 1.7 meters tall and had a muscular build capable of jumping high enough to reach the rim, did not make the school team.
This shameless person, Henry-Bibi, felt his mood worsen again and coldly replied: "No, it's because we have a troublesome player in the hospital, and we need a new troublesome one... Besides, I am the head coach, I can choose whoever I want, what does it have to do with you?"
After finishing the celebration banquet for three people, Li Ao took a ride with Vivian back to the apartment. After closing the door, he eagerly opened the system.
However
After taking a stroll, Li Ao followed Brown to the training ground
Li Ao familiarized himself with these rules, and it is always prudent to take note of such matters
Bai Mamba nodded at Li Ao, who then followed Brown towards the innermost part of the training ground
Henry Bibby responded: "I was also quite surprised when I saw him that day; his physique was particularly outstanding, and he was only 18 years old, so I invited him to participate in a trial training, but..."
He had already reviewed the regulations last night. Regarding the training schedule, there are only 3 sessions per week, and both the duration and the materials are not extensive. The sessions are on Saturday morning, Monday, and Wednesday at 4 PM. At that time, he was just as surprised as Liam.
The action pack and skills are predetermined rewards, requiring no mental effort, but he is conflicted about how to allocate the attribute points
High school basketball experience: None
On August 26, 1999, Thursday, at 4:30 PM, Li Ao officially became a member of the USC basketball club
The specifications of NCAA basketball courts differ from those of the NBA and FIBA. The three-point line is slightly shorter than that of FIBA, measuring only 6.25 meters, while FIBA's is 6.75 meters. The NBA is unique in that it has varying distances at different angles, with the farthest point being 7.25 meters
He does not dwell on it; he will know when the time comes
Physical Fitness: Speed 86, Strength 87, Jumping 76, Flexibility 92, Stamina 88
Li Ao greeted with a smile: "Hello everyone, I am new here, Li Ao, my English name is Leo"
System Activation Gift Pack
The ongoing tasks are empty, but there is one in the completed tasks list - the system activation task
Transfer Expert Level 1: If the host passes the ball directly after receiving it without dribbling, their mind will become clearer and calmer, and their ball control will slightly improve. If the host's passing evaluation is below 80, it will be temporarily raised to 80 for this pass.
Indeed, Shelby will definitely not return until he has spent all his money. I almost want Leo to give me a beating, but Shelby is quite impressive; anyway, I can't do it.
After understanding what 'very close to standard action' means, Li Ao looked at the NCAA basketball rules, which differ significantly from the NBA rules he is most familiar with
He gathered his scattered thoughts and looked towards the bottom of the basic information, where there were several sub-interface options; some were illuminated and had names, while others were dim and lacked names
He learned from Henry Bibi that Li Ao had a close relationship with the dean of the Computer Science College, and decided to cultivate a good relationship, as it might be useful in the future
DeMar DeRozan's mid-range shooting technique: very close to the standard shooting motion, showing significant improvement in both training and competition.
After taking a stroll around, he realized that this stadium is indeed vast! It is no wonder that it has undergone several expansions over the past 70 years, making it a super-large stadium
The maximum reward that can be obtained is indicated on the lottery interface! Li Ao's eyes lit up.
He opened the third illuminated sub-interface, the task interface
The good-natured Slakabrian, who also entered university in the same year, is willing to befriend him, but is often met with resistance.
A black-haired man, approximately two meters tall, complained: "We already have Shelby, and now another bully has arrived. Our team is becoming increasingly lively."
A tall white forward with short, golden curly hair, characterized by very distinct features
Li Ao immediately spotted the current basketball star of USC—Bryan Scalabrine
Name: Li Ao, English Name: Leo
Knowing that he was being a nuisance, Li Ao said "goodbye" and decisively left with Vivian and Liam. Liam wanted to treat the two to dinner to celebrate Li Ao, and of course, Li Ao graciously accepted. This time, Vivian also surprisingly did not refuse.
Moreover, there are rewards
However, he did not have an outstanding performance in his freshman season. During high school, he averaged 30 points and 6 rebounds, but in his first year, he only had 20 opportunities to play, all as a substitute. Instead of dominating the Trojans as he had hoped, he ended up playing as a backup to 'Little Laimbeer'.
