Chapter 167: Preparing for War
Roy guessed correctly, the "Ball King Store" has also been upgraded along with the system, probably because the system's bonuses to abilities have all been canceled, and there are a lot of more props to strengthen training in the store.
These include the "Michael Jordan Training Pack" (500 Attribute Points), the "Physical Ability Training Booster Pack" (200 Attribute Points), the "Interior Offensive Ability Training Booster Pack" (200 Attribute Points), the "Outside Offensive Ability Training Booster Pack" (200 Attribute Points), and more.
It seems that the intention of the system is also very clear, as long as your ability reaches a certain standard, everything else will depend on your own efforts, and the "Ball King System" is more similar to a training system, ability planning system and intelligence system at this stage, rather than an ability enhancement system.
To be more precise, after reaching a certain level of ability, the system will be much less helpful to the player himself, and it will no longer give you a shortcut to success, but instead guide you on how to be a successful player.
Maybe this is why Derek Ross wants to save attribute points to buy the "Infinite Training Ground", everyone wants to reach the sky in one step, everyone wants to become the king, but unfortunately, he lacks a little patience and luck.
In addition, with the upgrade of the system, the rare goods column in the "Ball King Store" has also been unlocked, and the first batch of rare goods has been put on the shelves, in fact, there are only three items, all of which are rare "characteristics", all of which are ridiculously expensive.
●First Ball King: On the first touch of the ball in each quarter of the game, all abilities are increased by 10%; Validity: Perpetual; Price: 10,000 attribute points.
●Animal Killer: Increases all abilities by 5% against a team with an animal in their team name or crest; Validity: Perpetual; Price: 20,000 attribute points.
●Mr. Key: Shoots within the last 3 seconds of the allotted offensive time, as well as a 25% increase in shooting percentage when shooting the game is the difference between victory and defeat; Validity: Perpetual; Price: 30,000 attribute points.
There is no doubt that without the ability bonus of the "Ball King System", these superb "characteristics" are the strongest supplement to their abilities, but unfortunately, now that they are shy in their pockets, they naturally can't afford these "high-end goods".
Training will be the main theme for the next period of time, so it's better to buy a training kit to strengthen your training.
The effect of the "Kobe Bryant Training Package" that Roy previously owned was "a significant increase in training willingness and a 20% increase in training experience for all abilities."
According to the rules that Roy has figured out in the past few months, 1 hour of training can increase 5 attribute points and 5 experience points, 70 or more abilities (200 attribute points or 200 experience points are required to increase 1 ability) Normal training takes 40 hours to naturally increase a little, and 80 or more abilities (300 attribute points or 300 experience points are required to increase 1 ability) is longer, 60 hours.
Therefore, for individual training, the "Kobe Bryant Training Package" is actually not very useful.
Since you are about to deal with tryouts and physical tests, it is undoubtedly more cost-effective to purchase the "Physical Ability Training Booster Pack" (effect: 50% increase in experience for all physical ability training). According to this training package, more than 70 physical ability, it only takes 27 hours of training to increase 1 point of ability, and according to the limit of 5 hours of physical training every day, 1 point of physical ability can be increased every six days, and the efficiency is not bad.
Of course, you can't just train your body, there are many other abilities to practice, such as defensive ability, such as ball control ability, and such as the newly learned skill "Jordan-style step-back jumper".
Skill "Jordan Step-Back Jumper" (Level 1):
●Expiration date: Permanent;
●Effect: When making a step-back jumper, there is a 70% chance of ignoring the opponent's shooting interference; Overall capacity increased by 1 point;
●Next Level Effect: When shooting backwards, there is an 80% chance of ignoring the opponent's shooting interference; Overall power increased by 2.
Looking at the skill description, it is really amazing, and it is almost certain that as long as this shot is not blocked, it is almost ignoring the opponent's defensive interference.
Once the training plan was set, Roy began a three-week training session.
During this period, except for class time, Roy was completely immersed in the basketball hall and gym every day, and he even asked Su Dong if he could temporarily suspend his studies to play basketball wholeheartedly, but unfortunately the answer he got was no, if a player did not graduate from high school, there was absolutely no way to participate in the draft.
In desperation, Roy could only use the early morning and evening intervals to train in addition to reading during the day, and in order to improve efficiency, he would even find time to do laps or sprints at noon.
Physical training is boring, but the effect is also obvious, before returning to China, Roy's physical fitness has made a small leap, although not as powerful as the system 1.0 era, but it has slowly taken shape.
In addition, Roy has gained another 2.2 pounds (1 kilogram) under Bob's conditioning, and his body is now much stronger than his peers.
Basketball and training aside, Roy's life has also changed a lot, presumably influenced by the "Michael Jordan" star template, Roy found that his popularity did continue to grow.
Nowadays, when he walks the streets of Chino Gang City, there are fans who come to ask for a group photo, and from time to time the media invites him to do interviews, not to mention the various rumors about himself and the occasional visit from scouts from various teams.
Finally, I have to mention the NCAA, after entering March, the entire American basketball circle has really been occupied by the topic of NCAA, whether it is NBA stars or ordinary fans, almost everyone has a clear position to choose the team they support.
For example, Jordan, who was born at the University of North Carolina, will naturally be extremely supportive of his alma mater, but unfortunately, North Carolina, which has a high demand for winning the championship this year, actually lost to Villanova University in the finals and lost the championship. For this matter, Jordan also tweeted to express his regret.
The impact of the NCAA on Roy is also profound, and Roy has learned a lot by watching the NCAA games, such as what the "Sweet Sixteen", "Elite Eight", and "Final Four" titles, as well as those tactics, positioning and coordination down to the minute. Of course, thanks to the NCAA, his mock draft rankings have plummeted, and he even dropped out of the top 50 before the NCAA finals began.
Roy now finally understands why those scouts would look down on high school players and look down on those seemingly flashy stats. Because, compared to the systematic professional basketball of the NCAA and the confrontational atmosphere that does not lose to the NBA, high school basketball can really only be regarded as an entry-level basketball game.
After watching the NCAA games, Roy was finally convinced, he finally felt the yearning for the NCAA by Daron Fox and Udoka Azubuuk, watching the fast-paced, fierce, orderly offensive and defensive games, and the atmosphere was hot, even Roy couldn't help but have the urge to try his skills.
Of course, Roy doesn't have the opportunity to go to the NCAA to compete with those college students, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have a chance to compete with those NCAA stars. After Su Dong's final confirmation, the United States team will send an NCAA All-Star team to participate in the Four Nations Invitational Tournament held at the end of April, and Ben Simmons, a new star in the Australian team, will also be confirmed.
In other words, Roy is about to have a chance to compete against the biggest names in the NCAA.
……
On Friday, March 25, 2016, on a sunny day, Roy, Yilan, Su Dong, and Bob finally got up and returned to Shanghai after a long absence......
