I'm good at basketball too

Chapter 1 Injuries Only Make Me Stronger
New York-Presbyterian Columbia and Cornell University Hospital New York for Special Surgery.

Founded in 1863, this is the oldest and most professional orthopedic hospital in the United States, and its professionalism is even higher than that of the Mayo Clinic.

Li Ran opened his eyes in a daze. The first thing he saw was the right leg that was hung high and put in a plaster cast, and then the pungent smell of disinfectant poured into his nostrils, which made him sneezed.

"You wake up, the operation was successful, because you are still young, so you need about 22-30 weeks of recovery time, after a thorough recovery, you can live like a normal person, but your career should stop here .”

A black doctor wearing a green coat, a doctor's cap, and a pair of glasses held a hardcover book and said to him expressionlessly.

As the most authoritative doctor in this hospital in terms of ligaments, he has seen too many such a proud man who died halfway, and Li Ran is just an ordinary one among them, so what he said to Li Ran was incomparable. Cruel words mean no stress.

"What kind of dream is this?" Li Ran looked at the black doctor in a daze, and then groaned because of the sharp pain coming from near the ankle of his right leg.

"Don't move around. The anesthesia time has just passed, and you may be in pain for a while. If the pain is unbearable, I can give you an injection of painkillers." The nurse next to him hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Li Ran and wanted him to lie down again.

Li Ran simply lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

Endless memories flooded into my mind.

"Really crossed?"

I don't know how long it took for Li Ran to truly integrate the memory that originally belonged to this body.

Li Ran, who has the same name as him in this time and space, is the recipient of a full sports scholarship from the University of Memphis. He was a well-known basketball star in Chicago when he was in high school. Take the state championship in Illinois.He has a strong style of play and excellent physical fitness. He has been named the best high school player in the state for two consecutive years and is known as the combination of James and Wade.

But if nothing else, Li Ran still had an accident.

In the first training session of the university, Li Ran, who was eager to show himself, started the training match without sufficient warm-up.

Then he was tragic.

After a few rounds of fighting, without confrontation, Li Ran's right leg gave way, and he fell to the floor, clutching his right leg and screaming.

The University of Memphis, who attached great importance to Li Ran, immediately sent him 1500 kilometers away to the Big Apple City, the No. [-] orthopedic hospital in the United States, after a simple inspection.

But the result didn't change.

Right Achilles tendon ruptured.

The dream of a new basketball star has just started and fell into the mud.

"What kind of opening is this..." Li Ran gave a wry smile.

"The patient is already awake. You can go in and see him, but you can only visit him for 10 minutes. The patient just finished the operation and needs to rest adequately." The nurse's whisper came from outside the door.

"Ok."

After all, a tall black boy pushed the door and walked into the ward.

Looking at the sharp-edged, short-cut face that sticks close to the scalp, a face that is very familiar no matter in the previous life or the present life, Li Ran showed a heartfelt smile on his face.

"Hey, Bear!"

Little Bear is the nickname given to him by his grandmother, and only his family and closest friends can call him that.

But Li Ran, who played together since childhood, can of course be regarded as one of them.

After he was injured, he was also the one who accompanied Li Ran all the way, traveling thousands of miles to New York until Li Ran successfully completed the operation.

At this time, the little bear whose nickname and appearance didn't match at all had a sad expression on his face.

"Brother, are you okay?"

His eye sockets were a little red, obviously he had cried secretly outside.

"Honestly, at the moment of the injury, I felt like my brain went blank, but then I thought about it, failure is always in life, this is life. Besides, it's just a broken Achilles tendon, Dominique Wilkins Isn't it also coming out of the Achilles tendon rupture?"

Li Ran thought about it, and instead of complaining, he said hopefully.

Now it is Li Ran who is comforting the little bear.

But his heart was full of sadness.

The essence of human movies is the only special case in so many years. Whether it is Kobe, Cousins, Isaiah Thomas or Durant, they have not fully returned to their peak state after their injuries, and Isaiah Thomas has retired directly. up.

but.

Li Ran raised his head and looked quietly at his best brother standing in front of him with slightly red eyes and a sad face.

Compared with the suffering you will endure in the future, my injury is nothing at all.

The future NBA No. [-] pick, the youngest MVP winner, and the eternal Windy City Rose.

Derrick Rose!
I don’t know if the timeline has been changed or what. In this life, Li Ran and Rose grew up together. The two went to elementary school and middle school together. They have been dominating the Illinois high school basketball world in high school. star.

When they graduated from high school, they also received a full scholarship from the University of Memphis, and they met here.

And both of them have excellent athletic talents, but the division of labor on the court is slightly different.

"We're going to win the state championship, the NCAA championship, and the NBA championship together, right?"

In the memory that Li Ran is not very familiar with, Rose was lying with him on the lawn by the river, his young face was full of ambition and self-confidence that did not match his age.

Although he has not personally experienced that period of memory, Li Ran still seems to be able to smell the fragrance of green grass.

"of course."

Beside the meandering river, Li Ran, who held a blade of grass in his mouth, also said with a smile.

Two teenagers, one with yellow skin and one with black skin, uttered bold words from the bottom of their hearts by this unknown river.

Thinking of those years when he was young and frivolous, and looking at his friend in front of him, Li Ran temporarily forgot that he was still lying on the hospital bed.

After entering the University of Memphis, although the school has just started, the two have been designated as the absolute core of the University of Memphis Tigers.

They will join another NCAA star player, Chris Douglas-Roberts, to form a super perimeter combination that makes the entire NCAA fearful, and will compete in this season's NCAA competition.

But thinking of Rose's bright but bumpy career after entering the NBA, the smile on Li Ran's face disappeared again.

Li Ran sighed in his heart, since he was reborn in this era, he didn't know how to help Ross.

If there is no injury, I may still enter the NBA with Rose, so help him pay attention.

But now, what I suffer is a ruptured Achilles tendon, which is a devastating injury for any athlete.

"If there is no injury, how strong will the combination of me, Rose and Roberts be? If I can enter the NBA, how far can I grow?"

Looking at Ross with a melancholy face, Li Ran thought silently in his heart.

The two chatted with each other, both of them had their own concerns, and they both seemed absent-minded.

After a while, the door of the ward opened.

"Visiting hours end."

The nurse appeared at the door with a cold face.

Ross patted the back of Li Ran's hand.

"I'll go first, Li, you can rest easy and recuperate."

"The hope of the two of us is now pinned on you alone. Come on, little bear." Li Ran squeezed out a smile and said to Ross.

With the muffled sound of closing the door, Li Ran lay down on the bed, staring blankly at the white ceiling.

"The system is on."

"1%... 2%..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from Li Ran's mind.

"Who?"

Li Ran was shocked.

No one answered, but Li Ran was sure that what he had just appeared was not a hallucination.

Because a slow-moving progress bar was slowly creeping forward in his consciousness.

"what is this?"

Li Ran watched the progress bar slowly increase, feeling both surprised and happy.

As a time traveler, how could he not have a golden finger?
After a long wait, the progress bar finally came to the end.

As if a thunderbolt fell in his mind, Li Ran was shocked, and a golden curtain slowly unfolded, and a line of large characters appeared in it.

"Injuries only make me stronger."

"Host bound: Li Ran."

"Start binding sports."

"Finding and hosting the closest thing to a sport."

"It is detected that the host's best sport is basketball, and it has a close relationship with NBA player Derrick Rose and the host. The binding item: basketball."

"System startup."

Then, Li Ran's simulated image appeared on the big screen, holding a basketball in his hand, looking very energetic.

On the other side, it is his current attribute.

"Li Ran, 18 years old"

“身高：193公分（199公分），臂展：217公分（221公分），体重：85千克”

“运动：力量73，速度：91（56），敏捷：83（45），弹跳：93（48），耐力：81”

"Shooting: Three Points: 77, Mid Range: 65, Free Throws, 70"

"Inside: post-up technique: 17, inside shooting: 35"

"Rebounds: Defensive Rebounds: 23, Offensive Rebounds: 22"

"Breakthrough: Ball Control: 71, Footsteps: 61, Freestyle: 57"

"Organization: Vision: 35, Passing: 38"

"Defense: Inside Defense: 44, Outside Defense: 57, Help Defense: 66, Blocks: 68, Steals: 55"

: Ability value: 56 (67)"

"Status: ruptured Achilles tendon (149 days)."

"Skill: None."

"Evaluation: NCAA elite player."

Li Ran looked at his attributes and was speechless for a long time.

Because he grew up with Rose since he was a child, he naturally learned a lot of basketball skills from his three older brothers with Rose, and the two started regular basketball training very early.

"How did my attribute grow, and why does it feel so crooked?"

Li Sumin's physical qualities are top-notch, and his three-point and two-point shooting ability is also excellent from the perspective of the NCAA, plus he has good internal and external defense capabilities and breakthrough capabilities.

"My position is... a 3D breakthrough expert?"

"But what is the red font in the brackets behind the speed and agility?" After a sentence of emotion, Li Ran buckled some small details in his attributes.

"It should be because of the injury that caused the attribute to drop..." After thinking for a while, Li Ran could only attribute it to this reason.
