Chapter 9, Steadfast Heart
In the face of this hard-won opportunity, Li Forest is very happy.
As a dick man, Li Forest, an ordinary white-collar worker in his previous life, has now got an NBA contract and has become an NBA player, when this kind of thing happens in front of him, everything seems so unreal.
"System, do you want to eat? I'll treat you to it if you want. Li Forest was rarely in a good mood, but he couldn't find anyone to share, so he had to ask the system teasingly.
came to the United States to work hard for three years, no money, no career, although he was quite tall and handsome, the predecessor Li Forest did not dare to find a girlfriend, and he was very lonely.
"What do you say?" The system looked at these two goods coldly.
"And where is your energy source?"
"Solar."
"When are you going to find your chosen one?" Li Forest asked a little worriedly.
"When you reach SSS level."
"Why?"
"The system doesn't pit the host, even if it's temporary."
Now Li Forest was relieved, and he was worried that the system would leave at any time.
"That's fine." Li Linlin smiled strangely.
The gift pack event that was just interrupted by Coach Jack is about to continue.
"The system, in its absence, is a moment to witness this miracle." Li Shulin shouted loudly.
"Hmph......" The system let out a muffled grunt.
Li Linlin looked at the gift bag and was stunned, how to open it? There are no buttons.
Wiping the sweat on his head, although there was no one, he was still a little embarrassed in the face of the system.
"Focus on the gift bag, don't be distracted, and open it silently." The system is cold back.
Sure enough, under the instructions of the system, the gift bag suddenly flashed with colorful lights.
It's so bright, Li Forest suddenly covered his eyes, although it was useless.
Looking at Li Linlin's exaggerated movements, the system muttered: "Childish".
Li Linlin pretended not to hear it, the light had stopped, and the red card stopped in the original item compartment instead of the original gift bag.
Li Linlin focused his attention on this red card, and at this time, the card automatically showed its function without the system's explanation.
"Step-Back Jump Shot LV1" - Kobe Bryant's Exclusive Skill Card - Equipped with this skill card, when shooting in a backward position, the shooting rate is forcibly increased by 5% (ignoring interference).
"As luck would have it, it's actually a purple upgradeable skill." The system says.
"It looks pretty awesome."
Li Linlin's current long-range shooting skill is 70 points, and adding more than 5 percent means that the vacant shooting rate will reach 75 percent.
However, the three-point line is leaning back, thinking that the picture is quite beautiful.
Ignoring interference means that the original shooting was only 35 percent after being interfered with and the shooting rate instantly rose to 40 percent, which is a proper NBA high-quality shooter.
"System, you just said purple, what does purple mean?"
The system seems to be a little more patient this time.
said: "The purple card represents the skill that can be upgraded, and it belongs to the top skill. The blue cards represent non-upgradeable stars and are one-time cards, while the green cards represent one-time skills. ”
"Oh, I see."
Li Forest has a deeper understanding of the card function of the system, and the setting of the system is still very delicate.
"Hey, then do I have a skill pack drop every time I go head-to-head with Kobe?"
"As long as you play against a player of S rank or above as determined by the system, and you have an offensive and defensive matchup, you have a 10% chance of gaining the opponent's exclusive skills. After being dropped once, it will not be dropped a second time. ”
"Ah, are only S-rank and SS-tier stars having exclusive skills?"
"Yes, S-Rank stars only have one exclusive skill. There are two stars in the SS class. ”
"Then I'll have it in the S-class in the future."
"Yes, there is."
"I'm looking forward to it."
"Temporary hosts should learn to be down-to-earth first"
"If people don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish?" Li Linlin choked the system with Xing Ye's words.
“…… There's still a long way to go to become an NBA superstar, and the temporary host will work hard. The system looked at Li Linlin's high-spirited appearance and didn't hit him.
"Thanks, you don't sometimes get that annoying." Li Forest said.
“……”
"Hey, how do you equip this skill card?"
"Please open the properties panel, do you see the three spaces next to the character? A space can equip a skill card. You can just look at the space and silently recite the name of the skill card. ”
Li Forest operated according to the instructions of the system, and sure enough, the skill card in the inventory was transferred to the equipment column next to the attribute character, and the three spaces meant that 3 skill cards could be equipped.
After looking at my projection data, it became 70 (+5)/100.
Okay, there seems to be nothing to do next, waiting for the contract to be signed tomorrow, thinking of signing the contract, Li Linlin is happy.
Turn on the computer, Li Forest is ready to go on the Internet, look at the latest news, habitually log in to QQ, although he has been abroad for more than three years, the habit of hanging QQ in high school has never changed.
At this time, the mobile phone is not so intelligent, Li Linlin's mobile phone is still Nokia 6120, and as for the APP, it is even less pitiful.
Li Linlin was still thinking about whether to engage in some investment APP or something in the future.
The network speed is not very fast, at least compared with the Internet speed of Li Linlin's family in the previous life, it can't be compared at all now.
The webpage opened slowly, and Li Forest habitually opened the domestic portal, at this time Weibo had not yet been born, and it would be developed by Sina next year.
Li Linlin can only open the portal to browse the domestic news.
At this time, the NBA section of the portal was basically dominated by the news of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, or the reports of the Lakers and Celtics. Li Forest found a report about himself in the most corner.
It seems that the Chinese media in the NBA, which has Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, obviously will not focus on him as a temporary worker, with only occasional sporadic reports.
"Drip, drip" The voice of the mobile phone message sounded.
"Lee, buddy, welcome to the Thunder team." A message from Wei Shao.
"Welcome, Lee." Durant also sent a message.
"Congratulations on signing the contract." Collison also sent a message.
…… One after another, Li Forest received congratulatory text messages from many teammates of the Thunder team.
Except for Joe Smith.
Li Linlin replied one by one thank you.
And then I didn't pay attention to it, and the days to come will be long.
After Li Forest finished browsing the portal, he looked at the NBA section of Tiger Pounce, which analyzed him very thoroughly, and obviously senior basketball fans noticed Li Linlin.
Many people left comments under his feature story.
"Wow, that's awesome."
"25 points in a single quarter, there is a great god to check if it is a rookie record."
"After watching the first half, I thought I was another scumbag, but after watching the whole game, I found that I was slapped in the face by him."
"The provocation of that ball in the first half actually made me see the unyielding eyes of young Kobe Bryant when he challenged Jordan and Iverson challenged Jordan." This is a remark left after watching Li Linlin's performance in the fourth verse.
Seeing this comment, Li Forest was a little embarrassed, he really didn't know that it was Kobe Bryant at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a drastic thing no matter how impulsive he was.
However, this ball seems to have played a good role with the fury of Li Forest in the fourth quarter, making most people think that he is the kind of arrogant newcomer who does not succumb to the other party's fame, just like Iverson challenged Jordan back then.
Of course, if there is no performance in the fourth quarter, then this behavior is undoubted.
QQ flashed, and the news came out in the group of the third year of high school.
Zhang Lan, the squad leader, sent a group photo of the previous class group, and then said:
"Heroes, heroes, immortals, occasionally took out everyone's group photos from their mobile phones, I miss them very much, everyone hasn't seen each other for a long time, when is the time to party."
In the past, Li Linlin's school was considered a provincial key, and most of the students in the class were still in their senior year.
Li and a small number of people chose to go abroad, and most of them stayed in China to continue their university studies.
"Everyone is in their fourth year, either going to graduate school or preparing to find a job, and they may have to wait for the Chinese New Year." The high school sports committee member Gao said.
"yes." Lao Gao's tablemate Zhang Bin echoed.
"Well, we should be able to do it in China, but I don't know if those who are abroad can come back." Li Fang, the squad leader's tablemate, said.
Then @ a few classmates who studied abroad, including Li Linlin.
The feelings of high school classmates are quite good, and they are all pure.
Li Linlin typed the words.
"Well, it may not work, I guess I will go to work for the New Year......"
There is no Spring Festival holiday in the NBA, and only a few of the classmates in the class who are particularly iron with him know that he has embarked on the road of professional basketball.
Most others didn't know that he was coming to the United States.
"It depends, I want to go back too." In the United States, the class of Princeton University returned to Bai Feifei.
"Feifei, I miss you, hug." The squad leader Zhang Lan directly asked for a hug in the group.
Instantly, the topic went off the rails again.
Bai Feifei did not reply.
Li Forest seems to have a little bit of a memory of what happened in high school, and he doesn't remember it very clearly.
The feelings for classmates are not as deep as the original Li Linlin.
The topics in the group appeared one after another, and Li Linlin watched it for a while, and felt that he was not much interested, so he closed the Q group.
Li Shulin closed the computer.
Lying down, thinking about the experience of this time, it still feels incredible.
The apartment is not big, one bedroom and one living room, and before Li Forest crossed, the predecessor was still very poor.
Li Forest only has three or four thousand dollars left in his bank card, and if Li Forest doesn't stay with the Thunder, he probably has to give up the dream of basketball.
But this time, with the help of the system, I not only want to realize the dream of two lives, but also become a superstar in the NBA.
Li Linlin did not choose to go abroad after his junior year of high school, gave up this ideal of playing in the NBA, was willing to succumb to reality, and stayed in China according to his parents' wishes, went to college, and became a white-collar worker.
But in this life, I dare to chase my dreams, but I am constantly rejected, denied, and suffered.
The two worlds become one, and now everything starts all over again.
Li Linlin's heart to become a superstar slowly became firm.
