At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 206 Cover Curse
Due to the fact that the finals were not finished until June, coupled with the summer league warm-up, and a series of commercial activities, Du Zhe spent much less training time this offseason than last year.

But even so, after twice improving his potential, Du Zhe's effect in this round of special training is still good.

After this period of hard training, Du Zhe's dribbling skills have improved slightly.

The physical qualities of speed, agility and jumping have also improved.

Although the overall rating has only improved a little, only 102, it is not easy for Du Zhe now.

After his overall strength exceeded the boundaries of the NBA, he found that the krypton gold module in the system was completely locked and could no longer be used.

Now that he wants to improve his strength, apart from training, he can only get rewards by winning the main match.

This also made Du Zhe pay more attention to this World Championships, because according to the introduction of the system, there are also rewards for winning in world-level competitions like the World Championships.

The richness of the rewards is naturally linked to the team's record.

Du Zhe naturally did not dare to think about winning the championship. Although his strength has broken through the limit, basketball is a team sport after all. With his current level to lead the Huaguo men's basketball team to win the championship, it is really a dream.

However, in order to improve his own strength, he still has to work hard to lead the team to a good result.

Without the krypton gold module, Du Zhe suddenly had a lot more money on hand.

In recent times, Lao Wang has negotiated several endorsement deals for him. Although it is not as lucrative as a sneaker contract, cumulatively, it is still a large sum for Du Zhe.

This also made his life more comfortable. Now Du Zhe is finally living like an NBA star.

In addition to these, the famous 2K Company has also previously identified Du Zhe as the cover character of the next-generation game 2K11.

2K had already obtained the right to use the portraits of all players when it signed with the NBA, so he didn't get much actual benefit from becoming the cover character this time.

But this is an excellent publicity for Du Zhe's personal image.

Originally, 2K planned to use Jordan as the cover of this generation.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. Du Zhe counterattacked and won the championship all the way in the playoffs.

This also forced 2K to make temporary changes and add another Du Zhe on the cover.

On the cover, Jordan made a breakthrough with the ball on the left, while Du Zhe added a three-pointer to the right.

Originally, Du Zhe, as this year's hot favorite, could have exclusive cover coverage like Kobe Bryant in the previous generation 2K10.

However, the game is basically ready now, and the new selling point of 2K11 is the "Jordan mode", and even the opening animation is based on a game of the Bulls that year as the background.

Under such circumstances, it was obviously inappropriate to remove Jordan, so 2K had no choice but to make do and find an opportunity to forcibly add Du Zhe.

In the eyes of the people who don't know the truth, 2K's move obviously put Du Zhe and Jordan side by side.

But when most people think about it carefully, 2K does have a certain reason for doing this.

Although Du Zhe is far behind Jordan in the accumulation of career statistics and honors.

But only in terms of his performance at the beginning of his career, he will undoubtedly stabilize Jordan, the god of basketball.

When Jordan was still being suppressed by "Bird" Bird and "Refrigerator" McHale, he was struggling in the first round of the playoffs.

At the same time, Du Zhe has already passed all the way and won the championship and FMVP.

And the season he won the championship was only his first season in full.

If Du Zhe played a few more seasons, maybe he could really surpass Jordan.

Thinking of this, most people are relieved of 2K's arrangement.

Many fans have also begun to regard Du Zhe as Jordan's successor, and more exaggeratedly, there are not no enthusiastic fans who think that Du Zhe can push Jordan down from the altar.

Fans who like Du Zhe are naturally rejoicing.

But besides them, there is another person that Du Zhe never thought of, who is also celebrating this incident.

This person is Kobe Bryant.

When he first heard that Du Zhe was on the cover of the new generation 2K, Kobe felt a little sour.

But soon he thought of the rumored 2K cover curse.

The so-called 2K cover curse means that any star who appears on the 2K cover will face a tragic fate in the future, either due to injury, loss, decline in form, or changing teams.

How famous was "The Answer" Allen Iverson back then? He appeared on the cover of 2K for several consecutive years, but ended up without a championship in his life, and he was homeless at the end of his career.

Then "Big Ben" Wallace, after appearing on the cover, was immediately involved in the infamous Auburn Hills palace brawl in NBA history. His Pistons also missed the championship that year.

Kobe originally regarded this rumor as a joke and did not take it seriously.

But now that he is very close to Du Zheliangzi, deep down in his heart, he has been secretly hoping that the 2K curse will be true, and even regards this rumor as a sustenance in his heart.

And what happened in the past two years can't help but he can't believe it.

In 2008, Garnett, who had just formed the Big Three to win the championship, appeared on the cover of 2K9. As a result, he tore his ligament in the playoffs the next year, and the Celtics completely missed the championship.

By 09, the cover star became Kobe himself, and as a result, he became unlucky in the next season.

Not only was his nose broken by Du Zhe's elbow in the regular season, but he was humiliated again by this Chinese kid in the playoffs and suffered a serious injury from a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Even in the offseason, he has no peace. In order to appease the divorced Vanessa, Bryant has been battered recently.

The poison of this 2K cover curse is really quite serious!Kobe was so confident in his heart after going through so much.

Thinking of this, and looking at Du Zhe on the cover of 2K11, Kobe suddenly felt extremely happy in his heart.

Lao Tzu's defeat to Du Zhe was not because of how powerful this kid was, but because the spell on the cover of 2K was too powerful!

He was not someone who was willing to make excuses for failure, but the blow Du Zhe brought was too great, which made him have to find some spiritual sustenance to comfort himself.

After comforting himself, a sternness appeared in the depths of Kobe's eyes, and there was a hint of anticipation in the sternness.

Next, it's Du Zhe's turn to be unlucky!
