"Excuse me, Mr. Shentong, why did you choose jersey No. 25?"

Finally a reporter asked the real question.

"I chose this number mainly because of my parents. This number was used by my father when he played football. Although he did not enter the professional arena, his spirit of loving football has always infected me and enabled me to devote myself to it.

I want to devote myself to my favorite basketball sport, and I want to wear this number to compete in the NBA."

"In addition, my mother brought me into this world when she was 25 years old. I will never forget my mother's Good Friday, May 25. Therefore, the number 25 has an indissoluble bond with me."

So that’s it.

Many reporters present were moved by Shentong's answer.

Dutiful son!

However, there is another reason that STO has not publicly stated.

23,24,25...

Although this 24 is currently only 8.

Shentong wants to be the best shooting guard.

At least, I can be side by side with those two people.

...

Turning his head, Jefferson was holding the No. 24 jersey and smiling brightly.

The green peaked cap is a bit dazzling under the flashlight.

Um...

It seems that it is not difficult to stand shoulder to shoulder with No. 24.

...

The day before the first preseason game, Scott announced the team's starting lineup after training.

The center is a conscientious Canadian, 2.13-meter-tall Todd MacLoach. It is a helpless move for a lame man to pick a general. Although Aaron Williams seems to be better, he is too short and is not the same type as Martin.

It also overlaps and can only be placed on the bench.

At power forward, there is no doubt that last year's No. 1 pick, the 2.06-meter-tall violent man Kenyon Martin.

For the small forward position, Scott chose Keith Van Horn. Although he is 2.08 meters tall, Van Horn's scoring methods tend to be from the outside. He doesn't like to fight under the basket, and his thin body is not strong enough.

Against the basket. Scott simply asked Van Horn to play as a small forward to maximize his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. However, Van Horn's mobility during defense still needs to withstand the test at the small forward position.

As the shooting guard, the more conservative Scott chose the more experienced Corey Kidders. After all, Kidders has been in the league for 4 years and his experience is a sufficient advantage over STO.

No one can challenge the starting point guard choice, the brains and soul of the team, Jason Kidd.

Shentong and Jefferson were placed on the bench together.

"Hey, buddy, I didn't expect that I would be on the bench at the same time as you. It seems that my level has dropped." Jefferson laughed at himself.

"I won't stay on the bench for a long time, I swear." Whether it is studying or basketball, Shentong's competitive spirit has never changed.

"Me too." Jefferson shrugged and said, "How about we compete to see who can become the starter first?"

"What's the bet?" Shentong asked.

"$500, do you dare?"

"Deal! It seems that the new game card of "Knights of the Flame Dragon" has been released."

"We'll see, I'll take the winnings and treat the whole team to a big meal, just the Chinese restaurant in Chinatown!" Jefferson licked his tongue.

Seeing Shentong looking at him with wide eyes, Jefferson was a little puzzled.

"What's wrong, Shen, why are you looking at me like that?"

“Do you know how expensive Chinese food is?”

"..."

Jefferson really doesn't know.

...

In view of the preseason match the next day, Shentong finished washing up early.

The team has not added additional training volume in recent days.

Allen has also become much friendlier to the four rookies.

After the pre-season assault devil training, the improvement in strength and physical fitness of the four rookies is obvious.

Shentong feels that his physical condition has never been so good.

Even when he looks in the mirror, his muscle lines are so clear that he is almost the same as a pure American player.

Just when Shentong's head hit the pillow, a familiar text box suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

But the text content inside is something Shentong has never seen before.

{

Event: The new season starts, the Basketball God Manual is activated

Content: The 2001-02 season is about to begin, and the Basketball God's Manual will open relevant functions.

Function 1: Drop;

Function 2: Task;

Function three: props;

Other functions are not available yet, so stay tuned.

Click on the Basketball God manual or each function to view details.

}

At first glance, Shentong was confused.

o((⊙﹏⊙))o

It's like just coming to this time and space.

When seeing "Can view details", STO immediately looked at some fonts in the text box that glowed faintly with blue light.

The basketball god's manual, drops, tasks, and props are all shining.

Shentong opens the Basketball God Manual through thoughts.

{

Item: Basketball God Manual (Pink Super God)

Details: The manual created by the Basketball God of the Universe, Basket, is the source of all basketball systems and can only be used by heirs with the bloodline of the Basketball God.

Relevant functions can be customized according to the descendants of the Basketball God to meet the host's basketball skill development and stimulate the body's full potential.

To activate this manual, two conditions need to be met at the same time: one is to awaken the bloodline and stimulate basketball potential; the other is to become a professional basketball player.

Otherwise, the manual will be sealed in the body and circulated indefinitely until the manual is awakened and activated.

The Basketball God Manual is only an auxiliary, and the host itself is the system.

}

After reading this detail that was like a fantasy novel, Shentong's brain worked quickly, and he came to the following conclusion.

First, he is a descendant of Basket, the basketball god of the universe, and has the blood of the basketball god.

This is beyond STO's control and can only be accepted.

Second, my bloodline has awakened.

Maybe it’s because of the Nine Stars Link? Maybe it’s because of traveling through time and space?

Otherwise, how can we explain the parallel world we live in and the superpowers we have after traveling through it?

Third, because he has officially become a professional basketball player, he meets the two conditions for activating the Basketball God Manual, which leads to the activation of this mysterious item that has been hidden in the body.

Shentong immediately thought clearly why his father, Lao Shen, failed to make any achievements on the basketball court because Lao Shen chose the wrong direction.

In China, he actually went to play football...

It’s true that women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession!

However, Shentong has not yet figured out the last sentence.

The Basketball God Manual is only an auxiliary, and the host itself is the system?

How to understand this sentence.

Could it be that by continuously improving your skills based on this manual, you will turn yourself into a system?

How to explain that this manual is the source of all basketball systems?

Shentong really can’t understand.

I’m afraid this question can only be understood slowly over time.

After checking the details of the "Basketball God Manual", Shentong clicked "Drop" again.

{

Function: drop

Details: One of the functions of the Basketball God Manual. The function you have after awakening your bloodline, which is manifested as the super power to see through your own basketball attributes.

Along with some special events, such as: convincing the opponent, reaching a certain degree of favorability with the opponent, etc., you can obtain items dropped by the opponent (opponent).

Dropped items include but are not limited to: talent factors, skill books, equipment, etc.

}

Now Shen Tong understood why he was able to possess visual superpowers after traveling through time.
Chapter completed!
