Chapter 22: New Skills
"Meng, what's wrong, didn't you have a rest yesterday, okay? Or don't play in today's game. ”
On November 7, 1999, after defeating the Rockets away, the Spurs team also came to Phoenix, the Spurs schedule at the beginning of the game can be said to be very hard, counting this game with the Suns, the Spurs will play 3 games in the next 4 days, and all away, such a dense schedule is also a torment for veterans such as David Robinson, and the team's head coach Popovich has complained more than once about the league's schedule for the Spurs.
The Spurs' opponent in this round, the Suns, has also fallen into a continuous **** in recent years, first the team's boss Barkley left the Rockets for the championship, and then the team's tactical changes, the Suns in recent years have also vacillated between big-ball tactics and small-ball tactics, but even such a Sun, it is still able to enter the playoffs steadily, which is quite strange.
"Haha, Mike, I think this kid must have been too crazy yesterday, young people should also pay attention to their bodies." Looking at Meng Xu's deep dark circles, Johnson said with a look on his face, you know.
At this time, Meng Xu was in no mood to fight with Johnson, and now his mind was full of thinking about how to gather enough attribute points to learn the skill of big heart. According to Anna's later statement, Larry Bird's skill is not bad compared to some A-level skills because of that additional status, but it is only subject to the system's mandatory requirements for skill ratings that it was placed at the B level. The two main requirements of the system rating are attribute points, and the effective time of the skill, to meet the requirements of A-level skills, it must be a full-field effective skill, and another point is to add at least 3 attributes of 10 or more, which can be called A-level skills.
The premise of learning this task is that you need 89 long-range attribute points, which happens to be the basic long-range attribute of Larry Bird, and Meng Xu's current long-range attribute is only 56, and after Larry Bird's 10 hours of training yesterday, it only increased by 1 point of long-throw attribute, even if you add the attribute points obtained by completing the task and upgrading the level, it is still 1 point short, because of this 1 attribute point, Meng Xu also didn't sleep well all night, resulting in a lack of sleep caused by the constant road trip. After arriving at the away team's locker room at Phoenix West Arena today, Meng Xu still looked sleepy-eyed.
In this game with the Suns, Meng Xu only got 15 minutes of playing time, the task of this game is to defend the Suns' swingman Anfernee Hardaway, for Hardaway, Meng Xu is also very sorry, as a diehard Jordan fan, for the first generation of Jordan successor Hardaway, Meng Xu is also very familiar, and even a little envious, envy his talent, envy his ball skills, and his bright and lofty future, but all this has become a thing of the past with continuous injuries, Anfernee Hardaway, who is considered to be the most likely player to match Jordan after Jordan, fell before he was at his peak.
The confrontation between this game and Hardaway also taught Meng Xu the strength of the league's top small forward, although after continuous injuries, Hardaway's physical talent is not as good as before, but it is still a lot stronger than Francis, and his technical ability is more skilled, this game Meng Xu is also very difficult, although Anfernee Hardaway is off standard on the defensive end, but in the offensive break, Meng Xu is also a little miserable, Meng Xu, who is not good at shooting, is under Hardaway's defense, He missed a single shot and even had two turnovers, but in the end, the Spurs still won 83-75 over the Suns.
Finally, on the last day of November, the Spurs defeated the Detroit Pistons 110-80 and still sinking, Meng Xu also ate a dumpling in this game, scored 11 points, 9 rebounds, 6 steals, 1 block and 1 assist, after the game, Meng Xu was finally promoted to level 6, and after adding all the attribute points obtained by upgrading to the long shot, Meng Xu finally learned his third skill as he wished.
"The host confirms learning the "big heart" skill. ”
"Ding, the host meets the learning conditions and is activating the "Big Heart" skill. ”
With the prompt of the system, Larry Bird also appeared on the big screen, followed by a 3-point highlight of Larry Bird's career, Larry Bird's physical fitness is not outstanding, the bounce is average, and even the arm span is very poor, but his shooting always gives people a very stable feeling, and there is no dead end in every part of the 3-point line, no matter where you shoot, your feeling is always, this goal will definitely score, at the end of the short film, is Larry Bird's famous sentence "Here, I'm going to kill you here." ”
"Congratulations to the host for successfully activating Larry Bird's exclusive skill "Big Heart". After hearing the prompt sound of successful learning, Meng Xu also directly used the remaining two skill points to upgrade this skill to level 3, and then couldn't wait to click on his skill bar to check this new skill.
Skill Name: Big Heart (B-level skill)
Skill Level: LV3
Skill effect: Automatically activated in the fourth quarter of the game and overtime, after the skill is activated, the host shooting attribute will be increased by 7 points, and the long-range shooting attribute will be increased by 7 points.
Additional Effect: I want to kill you, within 6 seconds before the end of the game, if the host team is within 3 points behind, the skill effect will be activated, and after the skill effect is activated, it will increase the host's shooting and long-range shooting rate by 46% (3% for each level of skill level)
"This skill is really powerful, according to the description of this additional effect, as long as it is at the last moment, there is a high probability of killing the opponent." Looking at this skill carefully, Meng Xu also fell into a frenzy, his shooting was not good, and now the entire league can be said to be well known, although before learning this skill, Meng Xu also has 88 points of long-range shooting attributes, but really in the game, subject to factors such as physical bounce and opponent's defense, Meng Xu's 3-point shooting rate is only 28%, and the shooting is slightly better, reaching 38%, but that is based on the fact that Meng Xu has a large number of steals and fast break direct dunks.
"It's really a very good skill for lore, after this skill reaches level 7, the last 6 seconds will increase the host's shooting rate by 58%, according to your current 30 or so hits, which means that your chance of hitting the lore is close to 90%." Looking at Meng Xu, who was shocked and delighted, Anna also smiled slightly on the side.
Then Meng Xu opened his attribute bar again, looking at his serious attributes, he also shook his head helplessly.
