After bandaging his wounds and doing a series of examinations in the hospital, Wayne was sent to the ward after struggling for a long time.

When the nurse left after explaining various precautions and closed the door to the ward, Wayne's ears finally became quiet.

After going through so many messy things, he finally had some time alone to calm down and think.

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

Although many facts have happened in 2020 that are more magical than fiction.

But Wayne still needs to slow down at this time and clearly understand the situation he is facing now.

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

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

At least it's the same so far.

It's September now, which means that Chairman Yao is just a rookie who has just finished his rookie season, Michael Jordan has just finished his last season, and the "Four Heroes" have not yet made a splash in the league.

.....

It’s really a very long time ago.

After slowly accepting the fact that he had returned to the past, Wayne stood up and walked into the bathroom - he was curious about what he looked like now.

However, facing the mirror in the bathroom, Wayne found that he could not see his face at all.

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

"Damn, this is the first time I find it so troublesome to grow taller." Wayne complained in his mind. He used to always want to grow taller, but now that he has really grown taller, he has to bend down to look in the mirror when he enters the door.

It made Wayne very uncomfortable.

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

Black hair, black eyes, and a relatively thin build for her height.

Although there is a bandage wrapped around his forehead now, the three-dimensional sunshine's 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 well with his current looks.

Well, not bad...this sense of immersion came up instantly!

But speaking of playing in the NBA...

Wayne touched his chin and remembered the row of words that appeared in front of him in the bearded car just now.

The system has been activated. Where has the activation gone?

After being interrupted by the bearded man's sudden braking, no further prompts appeared in front of Wayne's eyes.

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

Wayne didn't want to be the first time traveler in history to lose a cheat.

Depressed, Wayne sat back on the hospital bed. Is it possible that in this life, entering the NBA and becoming a big star is still an unrealistic fantasy?

You can't let this body and your status as an NCAA player go in vain.

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

"Host: Wayne. Nationality: Chinese.

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

Height: 211 cm. Weight: 92 kg.”

"He is 2.11 meters tall and only 92 kilograms? No wonder it looks like a bamboo pole!" Wayne looked at the basic information in front of him, then looked at his slender arms, and curled his lips.

It seems that most Chinese players in this era are generally on the thin side. Chairman Yao, who has not yet fully gained weight, looks like a bamboo pole.

After complaining, Wayne continued browsing. He found that as long as he concentrated his attention, the system interface would automatically appear in front of him.

So when Big Beard suddenly braked, the plug-in was not actually thrown away, it was just "put away".

After reading the basic information and continuing on, Wayne found that several interfaces were black and could not be viewed, and seemed to require further unlocking.

Ever since, Wayne looked at the "ability evaluation" interface that was currently available.

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

Defense: 46 blocks, 70 defensive rebounds.

Skills: Passing 63.

Physical fitness: strength 21, physical fitness 63.”

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

Show, it’s really a show!

This ability value really shows off Wayne's face.

As a player who is 2.11 meters tall, it stands to reason that he must play inside.

But... what the hell is 43 in low post offense!

Also, your strength is only 21, are you kidding me? How powerful is it to be beaten by a defender under the basket?

On the contrary, attributes such as shooting and passing, which are more suitable for outside players, are relatively high.

This skill tree is completely crooked!

However, considering his current figure, Wayne desperately found that this ability value was so low that it was somewhat reasonable.

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

However, Wayne soon discovered that many items in the ability evaluation interface that were currently unavailable were blacked out.

It is estimated that other ability values ​​also need to be unlocked in some way before further viewing.

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

But now both slots are empty and there are no items that can be equipped.

Finally, the system told Wayne very considerately.

"Current draft pick prediction: undrafted."

Isn't that right? With this level of ability, it would be truly magical if you were selected.

After seeing his ability interface, Wayne was completely autistic.

So real.

If only there was an old Grant Hill with the ability, it wouldn't be so miserable.

Now that I have this level of ability, can I use it to play in the NBA?

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

Speaking of which, Wayne has been having a question just now.

As a Chinese who is 2.11 meters tall and whose father is 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 day and age, a kid of his height should have been roped in by the local youth team to play basketball, right?

Now that he saw his ability value, Wayne finally knew the reason.

Although he is tall and has good static talents, his dynamic talents are very average.

In fact, it is easy to tell whether he has talent. Chairman Yao, who is truly talented, can already play professional basketball at the age of 16, and has already made a name for himself in the CBA at the age of 17.

Wayne did play in the youth teams in his hometown area, but at that time he simply could not reach the level of a professional player in China.

Maybe it’s because his level is not good enough that his family sent him to the NCAA for gold plating?

Shallow!

Wayne thought too little.

His father, who had been through it all, was actually much more considerate than Wayne.

The reason why Wayne's father sent him to study abroad was actually because he hoped that his son would not be determined to die in basketball.

If you go to college in the United States, you will have better training conditions and basketball environment.

Secondly, and most importantly, even if he fails to play professional basketball in the end, Wayne will not achieve anything with his academic qualifications from studying abroad.

In 2003, the identity of "Turtle" was still very popular.

At this time in China, college basketball had not yet developed, and you could almost only choose between sports and studies. If you choose the wrong path, it will be difficult to start over.

If Wayne stayed in the youth team and ended up not being able to play professionally, what else would he be able to do?

But now, Wayne is equivalent to having a double insurance, and his studies and basketball will not be delayed.

In addition, Wayne's father had another consideration.

The various obstacles that Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have encountered in going to the NBA in recent years have made people aware for the first time of the various constraints placed on players within the system.

Saying "He was trained by me" will become the capital for people from all walks of life to open their mouths.

According to rumors, the Shanghai team imposed many harsh conditions on the NBA before letting Yao Ming leave.

If Yao Ming hadn't threatened to retire without letting him go, I guess the Shanghai team would really want to use him to cheat the NBA.

Later, it was said that the Basketball Association also asked Yao Ming to hand over 50% of his salary in the NBA. It was the NBA Players Association that came forward to resolve the matter.

Now let Wayne leave the youth team system and develop in the NCAA. If he really succeeds in the future, he will not be restricted by various restrictions.

Of course, this only accounts for a small part of the factor, because the chance of Wayne making a name for himself is very low.

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

It seems that Wayne's father is well aware of his son's basketball talent...

It’s truly a blessing from heaven and touching.

"In the end, is it just height?" Wayne silently closed the ability evaluation interface. Those values ​​were really eye-catching.

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

"The number of growth points required to unlock the next stage of the system: 1000."

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

Wayne, who had just been poured cold water on his abilities, felt the little flame in his heart rekindle.

only......

How to get this growth points?

What is this? Can't you explain it in more detail?

This time, the system finally responded, displaying a brief explanation of how to obtain growth points in front of Wayne's eyes.

"You can obtain certain growth points through training and competition. The number of growth points obtained will vary depending on the intensity and method of training or competition."

"Well..." The explanation was indeed too simple, and Wayne didn't understand it at all, but he had some ideas.

To put it simply, it is just like playing games. You need to accumulate experience through training and competition to upgrade.

Finally, Wayne discovered that there was an icon flashing in the lower left corner of the system interface.

After clicking the icon in his mind, the words "The newbie gift package has been received" occupied Wayne's field of vision.

"And this thing? Sure enough, I am destined to be a successful man in the basketball world!"

Proudly, Wayne focused his attention on the gift bag, and soon the introduction appeared again.

"Gift package for beginners: you can randomly draw one of three rewards: rare badges, shooting actions or 50,000 high growth points."

"50,000 high-value growth points..." Wayne looked at the introduction and was already imagining his own comeback.

There is a one-third chance that I can't be so shameless that I can't win the draw.

"Turn on!"

After a flash of white light, Wayne did not see the prompt "Growth Points + 50,000".

What appeared in front of him was a purple badge.

"Congratulations to the host for drawing the badge: Big Heart Killer (Purple). Effect: Greatly strengthen shooting ability at the end of the game, greatly reduce the impact of opponent's interference on shooting, and greatly reduce the impact of physical factors on shooting."

"That's it!?" Everyone in Wayne was dumbfounded.

Although Wayne, who often plays games, knows that the purple badge most likely represents the highest level badge, but...

He is now a small substitute who cannot stand up in the NCAA. How can he be used for this thing!?

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

Which coach with his brains would specially arrange a small substitute to shoot key shots?

This is not as practical as directly drawing growth points. Even if it is a badge, it would be better to have something more practical.

There is a one-third chance of not winning, because Wayne's African ancestry is a hammer. No matter in his previous life or now, he has never turned pale when he opened the box.

How should I go about my basketball career in the future? If I had known, I would have just washed my face before slapping myself.

Just when Wayne was at a loss what to do, someone knocked on the door of the ward.

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

"Oh my God, I rushed here as soon as I received the news! Are you okay!? Have the test results come out!? Where is the driver?"

"Uh..." Facing this enthusiastic black guy, Wayne scratched his head.

Who are you feeding?

He just thought this guy looked familiar. He seemed to have seen this face on TV in his previous life.

After trying hard to recall, Wayne learned that this guy seemed to be his teammate on the basketball team, and he was also the team's ace.

His name seems to be...
Chapter completed!
