The Road to Stardom: Start as a Slam Dunk Master.

Chapter 199 McDavid’s first generation knee pads

Although Pietrus had already expected a complete defeat, when the last ball ended, he still had a bad feeling on his face.

He lowered his head, with a look of frustration on his face: "You win, you are the main force, I will be your substitute..."

"Hahaha!" Lin Dong laughed and reached out to pat him on the shoulder: "Are you kidding, brother? It's just for fun. Who is the main player and who is the substitute? That depends on Coach Yunus's arrangement. The two of us have agreed. It doesn’t count.”

Pietrus was startled and looked at the Asian man in front of him, who had no arrogance or domineering expression on his face after winning.

Frankly speaking, from the initial prejudice against Asians, to being suppressed by the opponent's skills to the point where he had no temper at all, then to frustration, and then to the opponent's gentle smile and joking tone at the last moment, it gave him enough steps to step down.

The resentment and depression in my heart were suddenly relieved. It was because I was too arrogant before...

Black people's emotions come and go quickly. Once they're overcome, they can say anything.

Pietrus had a look of apology on his face: "I'm convinced, brother!"

Then he gave Lin Dong a thumbs up and grinned: "Asians, great!"

"GOOD! Lin!"

"The best forward in Asia!" Several European players also started cheering.

Although they felt that the other party no longer had any ill intentions, Zhu Fangyu and Sakuragi Hanamichi still asked Lin Dong with vigilant faces what they had said. After receiving a positive answer, the two of them also grinned.

"Good! Good!" They also gave a thumbs up to a few Europeans, pretending to know English well, and the group of people quickly eliminated the previous barriers.

Yunus felt like a big stone fell on his heart. To end like this was undoubtedly the best result he could imagine.

At this time, he looked at Payton next to him and saw that he was sitting aside with great interest. He seemed to have no intention of leaving or intervening.

Yunus called everyone over, but did not make any unnecessary comments about the duel just now.

"The main game will be after the 8th, at 4 a.m. on April 10." Yunus said: "In the past few days, I will report to the arena at 9:7 every morning. After training ends at 30 p.m., you can freely arrange your own schedule. time, but I must return to the dormitory before 5pm. I will check the dormitory every day. If I don’t see anyone in the dormitory, I will cut down the normal playing time..."

After negotiating some rules: "Well, time is tight, let's start training this afternoon. Let's start with basic exercises, shooting!"

The so-called training of the international team does not actually require you to practice anything. What everyone needs to do is to first let Yunus know enough about you and understand your strength and characteristics before you can arrange your troops.

The second is the mutual understanding between the players. In addition to today's first day of basic training, the next few days should be mainly about intra-team competitions. Yunus will roughly use today's training summary to rank the two strengths. Similar teams play against each other to develop a tacit understanding among the players.

Yunus knows all the major European leagues well, so he actually knows a lot about these European players, mainly those in Asia.

Let alone Lin Dong, single-handedly defeating Pietrus was enough to explain a lot of problems, which made Yunus also start to look forward to the other three Asian players.

But it turns out... some things are accidents themselves.

Different from the surprise that Lin Dong brought him, the strength of the other three people was equivalent to what he expected.

Zhu Fangyu is a rotation player of the CBA in the Dragon Country Professional League. Although the CBA has produced many amazing stars in the past two years, such as Wang Zhizhi who has entered the NBA, and the Oriental Little Giant who is now known as the new king of Asia, Yuna Si knows that the overall standard of their league is not high.

In his opinion, Zhu Fangyu is that kind of 3D player. He has good 3-pointers and a very active defensive attitude. This is the most welcome ability for any team, but the problem is that neither of them is top-notch. He definitely belongs to this international team. The end of the second echelon of the team.

As for the two Japanese players, Yunus had some impressions of them thanks to watching Lin Dong’s final video of the winter selection in Japan.

Yunus feels that Rukawa Kaede is relatively mediocre, a type who can do everything but doesn't stand out in anything. Frankly speaking, Yunus feels that he is the most insignificant person in this team.

On the contrary, Sakuragi Hanamichi, although his skills look very immature, his rebounding ability is pretty good.

Unlike those who rely on their height to jump to grab rebounds, this boy's rebounding strength lies in his awareness, attitude and athletic ability that is somewhat beyond Yunus' imagination.

This young man can really fight for every ball as if it is the last rebound in the final game, which is quite rare.

But just having such an attitude is not enough. Everyone can have such an attitude, but not everyone can play like this. The key reason lies in the continuity of physical strength.

If you give it your all in every ball, are you going to play only 5 minutes or 10 minutes? But this young man gave Yunus the feeling that he would never know how tired he was. He could play like this from the beginning to the end... This can be seen from the winter selection video. He gave Lin Dong his best for every ball, but he was still able to Just hold on until the last second.

It’s a combination of will, endurance and physical strength. Yunus was simply amazed. He had never seen such a young player before.

During the afternoon training, Yunus was consciously trying to challenge Sakuragi Hanamichi's physical limit, but even though he had secretly increased Sakuragi Hanamichi's training volume, at least more than others, but until Europe When those players were out of breath, Sakuragi Hanamichi was still vigorous and vigorous.

Lin Dong, Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Yunus drew a circle on the two names in the notebook.

Unlike Sakuragi Hanamichi's distracted training, Lin Dong was somewhat distracted during the afternoon training, mainly because he finally collected 100 points, which finally gave him the right to open the system's treasures.

Frankly speaking, since time traveling, although I have been accumulating points, points, and points, I have never used anything before, and I don’t know whether it is real or fake.

Could it be just an extra bug in my mind after traveling through time?

Taking advantage of the slight distraction during training, I couldn't wait to open the system panel in my mind.

There are still only three items in the system mall, and they are all sold for 100 points.

The first item is the equipment, the first generation of McDavid knee pads, with 100 points.

Since enough purchase points have been accumulated, the originally black product now becomes glittering with gold, and the functional description has also changed slightly: in addition to having a normal knee protection effect after wearing it, it can also resist a leg fracture, dislocation, etc. s damage. (First generation, 10% fatigue relief when worn)

The parts in brackets only appeared after they were available for purchase, which was unexpected by Lin Dong.

First Generation? Does that mean there are second or third generations? But the fourth thing didn't appear in the mall...

The second item is a consumable product, the first-generation Red Bull functional drink, with 100 points (can be redeemed unlimited times).

Function description: Drinking it can restore your lost physical strength to perfection in an instant.

It's a good thing to restore physical strength. Lin Dong doesn't think he needs to drink this thing every game, but if he encounters back-to-back key games like the NBA, or the playoffs, this thing may come in handy. It's useful, but it's a bit expensive... Knee pads that can withstand any injury are only sold for 100, but this bottle of drink is sold for 100?

Compared with these two things, which can be described in detail, the third product in the mall is still vague. It only gives you a hint: it can bring you a small surprise, but you need to You need to earn 2000 points to see it (the current point progress is 100).

Lin Dong chose to ignore it.

The price-performance ratio of functional drinks is too low for him now, so he doesn't need to consider it at all. The main thing is McDavid's first-generation knee pads, which Lin Dong has long coveted.

I took a break from training to go to the bathroom and made my choice with some trepidation.

Points are deducted, the shiny product description turns gray again, and then...

Lin Dong stared at his hands nervously, but after waiting for a few seconds, nothing appeared. He frowned, and then found that the knee pads on his legs had changed.

The style is still the one I wore before, but the logo has changed, from the original Nike logo to McDavid.

It really happened...

Lin Dong let out a long sigh of relief. At this point, doubts about the authenticity of this system were finally over.

He reached out and touched the knee pads. Apart from the logo, he felt that there was indeed a slight change from the previous knee pads when he wore them. Although it was a thin layer to the touch, it felt thicker than before when he wore it, and his knees had a kind of The obvious feeling of protection does not affect flexibility.

The knee that had been used to challenge Pietrus before and had been training had begun to feel slightly warm, but now it felt cool and comfortable.

It really is extraordinary.

Lin Dong felt as if he had received a reassurance in his heart, and his eyes also shone with some special brilliance.

With this, not only is there an extra layer of guarantee for full performance, but also some more extreme movements, and I can finally slowly try some more extreme moves!

At this time, I excitedly glanced at the mall again and saw that the darkened icon in the 'equipment column' was no longer the first generation of McDavid's knee pads, but the second generation.

The function description looks the same as before. It can still only resist one damage, but there is no reminder in brackets. Maybe it reduces fatigue by 20%?

After all...compared to the first generation which only required 100 points, the points required for this second generation really made Lin Dong feel a bit perverted. It cost 1000 points, but it was actually doubled by 10 times!

When Lin Dong opened his mouth, he was dumbfounded and quickly touched the thing on his leg. It seems that this first generation has been used for a long time, so he should take care of it.

　There will be another update soon
