After bandaging the wound in the hospital and doing a series of tests, Wayne, who had been tossing for a long time, was admitted to the hospital room.

When the nurse left after explaining all the precautions and closed the door of the ward, Wayne's ears finally calmed down.

After going through so much mess, he finally had time to calm down and think alone.

Sitting on the hospital bed, Wayne took a deep breath.

Although 2020 has already happened many facts that are more magical than fiction.

But Wayne still needs to take his time and clearly understand the situation he is facing at this time.

So, I went back to 2003 and became a sophomore in the NCAA.

Judging by that new memory, the history of this world is almost exactly the same as that of Wayne's previous life.

At least so far it's been the same.

It's September, which means that Chairman Yao is just a rookie who has just finished his rookie season. Jordan had just finished his final season, and the "Dust Four" hadn't yet made a big splash in the league......

It's a very long time ago.

Slowly accepting the fact that he was back in the past, Wayne stood up and walked into the bathroom—curious about what he was like now.

However, facing the mirror in the bathroom, Wayne found that he couldn't see his face at all.

Because the mirror can only shine on Wayne's chest, he is too tall!

"Damn, it's the first time I've felt so troublesome growing tall." Wayne complained in his heart, he always wanted to grow taller in the past, but now that he has really grown taller, he has to bend down when he enters the door and looks in the mirror, which still makes Wayne very uncomfortable.

Bending down, Wayne finally saw himself in the mirror, his current self.

Black hair, black eyes, and a relatively thin body for this height.

Although he now has a bandage wrapped around his forehead, his facial features are still very recognizable.

Wayne doesn't know if he can play in the NBA, but he feels that he can still play with his current appearance.

Well, not bad...... This sense of substitution came up in an instant!

But when it comes to playing in the NBA......

Wayne touched his chin and remembered the row of words that had just appeared in front of his eyes on the bearded cart.

The system has been activated, where has it been activated?

After being interrupted by the beard's sudden braking just now, Wayne didn't have any hints in front of him.

Could it be that this plug-in was really lost by that big beard?

Wayne didn't want to be the first time-traveler ever to lose the plug-in.

Depressed, Wayne sat back on the hospital bed, could it be that in this life, it is still only an unrealistic fantasy to enter the NBA and become a big star?

You can't afford to be blind to this body and the identity of an NCAA player.

Just as Wayne was concentrating on how to wake up the system, a virtual interface appeared in front of Wayne's eyes.

"Host: Wayne. Nationality: Chinese.

Age: 20 years old, birthday: July 6, 1983.

Height: 211 cm. Weight: 92 kg. ”

"2.11 meters tall and only 92 kilograms? No wonder it's like a bamboo pole! Wayne looked at the basic information in front of him, then at his slender arm, and pouted.

Most of the Chinese players in this era seem to be generally thin, and Chairman Yao, who has not fully gained weight, is also like a bamboo pole.

After complaining, Wayne continued to browse. He found that as soon as he focused his attention, the interface of the system would automatically appear in front of his eyes.

So when the beard braked suddenly, the plug-in was not actually lost, but was "put away".

After reading the basic information, Wayne found that several interfaces were black and could not be viewed, and it seemed that they needed to be unlocked further.

So, Wayne looked at the "Ability Evaluation" interface that can be viewed at the moment.

"Offense: 72 mid-range shots, 61 three-point shots, 43 low-post offense."

Defense: 46 blocks, 70 defensive rebounds.

Technique: Passing 63.

Physical fitness: strength 21, physical fitness 63. ”

After reading his current ability value evaluation, Wayne wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Show, it's so showy!

This ability value simply showed Wayne's face.

As a player with a height of 2.11 meters, it stands to reason that he must play inside.

But...... What the hell is a low-post offense of only 43!

Also, the strength is only 21, is this a joke? The level of being forced by a guard under the basket?

On the contrary, shooting and passing, which are more suitable for outside players, are more attributed.

This skill tree is completely crooked!

However, combined with his current stature, Wayne was desperate to find that this ability value was so low that it was a bit reasonable.

And this ability evaluation is too simple, right? Although it is divided into four categories that seem to be very detailed, there are only 8 items in total?

However, Wayne soon discovered that many of the items in the ability evaluation interface that were not currently viewable were blacked out.

Estimating other stat values, it also needs to be unlocked somehow to view further.

At the bottom of the ability evaluation screen, there are two things like skill slots, "badges" and "shooting actions".

Only now both slots are empty and there aren't any equippable items.

Finally, the system also told Wayne very intimately.

"Current draft pick prediction: Lost."

That's not it, just this ability value, it's really called magic if you have to be chosen.

After looking at his ability interface, Wayne was completely shut up.

It's too real.

But if there can be a twilight Grant. Ciel's ability isn't so bad.

Now that I'm so capable, I'm going to play in the NBA?

It's better to stay in the youth team in your hometown.

Speaking of which, Wayne has always had a question just now.

As a Chinese who is 2.11 meters tall and his father is still a former professional player, why did he not enter the youth team system, but was sent to the NCAA by his family?

It stands to reason that in this era, a child of his height should have been pulled by the local youth team to play basketball a long time ago, right?

Now that he saw his stats, Wayne knew why.

Although he is tall and has a good static talent, his dynamic talent is really very ordinary.

Whether there is talent or not, in fact, it is easy to see. Chairman Yao, who is truly talented, was already able to play professional basketball at the age of 16 and had already made his mark in the CBA by the age of 17.

Wayne did play in the youth team in his home area, but at home he wasn't up to the level of a professional footballer.

Maybe it's because of my lack of level, so my family sent me to the NCAA for gold plating?

Shallow!

Wayne was thinking too shallowly.

His father, who came over, was actually much more thoughtful than Wayne.

The reason why Wayne's father sent him out to study abroad was actually hoping that his son would not die on the road of basketball.

If you send it to a university in the United States, you can have better training conditions and a basketball environment.

Second, and most importantly, this is the most important point. Even if he can't play professional basketball in the end and has a degree to study abroad, Wayne will not be unable to achieve nothing.

In 2003, the identity of "turtle" was still quite popular.

At this time, college basketball had not yet developed in China, and sports and academics could hardly choose one or the other. If you choose the wrong path, it's hard to do it all over again.

What else would Wayne do if he stayed on the youth team and ended up not making it professional?

But now, Wayne has the equivalent of a double insurance, and his studies and basketball are not delayed.

In addition to this, Wayne's dad has another layer of consideration.

The various obstacles encountered by Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi to play in the NBA over the years have made people know for the first time the various constraints on players in the system.

A sentence of "he was cultivated by me" will become the capital of people from all walks of life.

According to rumors, the Shanghai team gave the NBA a lot of harsh conditions before they were willing to let Yao Ming go.

If Yao Ming hadn't threatened to retire if he didn't let him go, it is estimated that the Shanghai team would really want to rely on him to make a big deal in the NBA.

Later, the basketball association is also said to have asked Yao Ming to hand over 50% of his salary in the NBA. It was the NBA players' union that stepped in to resolve the matter.

Now let Wayne get out of the youth team system and develop in the NCAA, in case he really plays in the future, he will not be limited by various rules and regulations.

Of course, that's only a small part of the equation, as Wayne's chances of making a name for himself are very low.

The biggest reason why he was sent to study abroad was that his family wanted him to get a diploma while playing.

It seems that Wayne and his father still have a good idea of his son's basketball talent......

It's really touching.

"In the end, is it just empty of height?" Wayne silently turned off the ability evaluation interface, those values were too spicy to the eyes.

However, at the bottom of the system interface, Wayne saw a prompt that gave him a little hope.

"Growth points required to unlock the next stage of the system: 1000."

"Yes, the function of this system is not just to display your stats. If you get enough growth points, you should be able to unlock more things or add stats. ”

Wayne, who had just been poured cold water on his own ability, rekindled the small flame in his heart.

It's just that......

How do I get these growth points?

What the hell? Can't you go into more detail?

This time, the system finally responded, showing Wayne a brief description of the growth points obtained.

"You can earn a certain amount of growth points through training and competitions, and the amount of growth points you can earn will vary depending on the intensity and method of training or competition."

"Well......" is indeed too simple to explain, and Wayne is also half-understood, but he has some ideas.

To put it simply, it's the same as playing a game, you need to train and compete to accumulate experience and level up.

Finally, Wayne found that there was an icon flashing in the bottom left corner of the system interface all the time.

After clicking on the icon in his consciousness, the phrase "The Starter Gift Pack Has Been Claimed" occupied Wayne's field of vision.

"And this thing? Sure enough, he is destined to be a man who will be successful in the basketball world! ”

Triumphantly, Wayne fixed his gaze on the packet, and after a while, the introduction reappeared.

"Starter Pack: Get one of three random prizes: a Rare Badge, a Shooting Move, or 50,000 Growth Points."

"50,000 high growth points......" Wayne looked at the introduction, already fantasizing about the scene of his salted fish turning over.

With a one-in-one probability, it's impossible for me to be so black that I can't get this draw.

"Turn on!"

After a white light, Wayne didn't see a prompt like "growth points +50,000".

What appeared in front of his eyes was a purple badge.

"Congratulations to the host for drawing the badge: Big Heart Killer (purple). Effect: Greatly strengthens the shooting ability in the final moments of the game, greatly reduces the impact of the opponent's interference on the shot, and greatly reduces the impact of physical factors on the shot. ”

"That's it!?" The Waynes are stupid.

Although Wayne, who often plays the game, knows that the purple badge is most likely a badge that represents the highest level, it ......

He's now a little bench that doesn't even stand in the NCAA, so he wants this thing to be useful!?

Because even if there is a chance to shoot a key shot, it will not be his turn to shoot!

Which coach has a bad brain, and will deliberately arrange a small substitute to shoot key shots.

It's better to draw growth points directly, even if it's a badge, it's good to have a practical point.

With a one-in-three chance of not hitting, Wayne's African ancestry is stone-hammered. Whether it was in his previous life or now, he has never had a white face when he opened the box.

How should I go on this basketball road in the future, I knew that I had just washed my face before pumping.

Just when Wayne was at a loss, there was a knock on the door of the hospital room.

Then, a sturdy black man walked in. Looking at Wayne, who was bandaged around his head, his mouth turned into an "O" shape and his expression was very exaggerated.

"Oh my God, I rushed over as soon as I got the news! Are you okay!? Are the results out!? What about drivers? ”

"Uh......" Wayne scratched his head at this enthusiastic black dude.

Who are you?

He just thought this guy was very familiar, and he seemed to have seen this face on TV in his previous life.

After trying to reminisce for a while, Wayne learned that this guy seemed to be his teammate on the basketball team and the ace of the team.

His name seems to be ......

Tony. Alan!?
