The rise of the NBA superstar

Chapter 9, A Firm Heart

Faced with this hard-won opportunity, Li Senlin is very happy. .

As a dick, Li Senlin was an ordinary white-collar worker in his previous life, but now he has got an NBA contract and has become an NBA player. When this kind of thing happens before his eyes, everything seems so unreal.

"System, do you want something to eat? If you want, I'll treat you to it." Li Senlin was rarely in a good mood, but couldn't find anyone to share it with, so he had to tease the system and asked.

I came to the United States to struggle for three years. I had no money and no career. Although I was tall and handsome, the former Li Senlin did not dare to find a girlfriend. He was very lonely.

"What do you think?" The system looked at the two guys coldly.

"Then where is your energy source?"

"Solar energy."

"When are you going to find your chosen one?" Li Senlin asked a little worried.

"After you reach the SSS level."

"Why?"

"The system will not cheat the host, even if it is temporary."

Now Li Senlin is relieved. He was worried that the system would leave at any time.

"That's fine." Li Senlin smiled strangely.

The gift bag opening activity that was interrupted by Coach Jack just now will continue.

"Is the system here? Let's witness this miracle together." Li Senlin shouted loudly.

"Hmph..." The system let out a muffled hum.

Li Senlin looked at the gift bag and was stunned, how to open it?There are no buttons.

Wiping the sweat off his brow, although no one was there, he was still a little embarrassed facing the system.

"Focus on the gift bag, don't be distracted, open it silently." The system replied coldly.

Sure enough, under the instruction of the system, the gift package suddenly flashed with colorful lights.

It was so bright, Li Senlin immediately covered his eyes, although it was useless.

Seeing Li Senlin's exaggerated movements, the system muttered: "Childish".

Li Senlin pretended not to hear, the light had stopped, and the red card took the place of the original gift bag and stopped in the original item grid.

Li Senlin focused on the red card. At this time, the system did not need to explain it, and the card automatically displayed its function.

""Leave Jump Shot LV1"" - Kobe's exclusive skill card - equipped with this skill card, when shooting with a lean back position, the hit rate will be forced to increase by 5.00% (ignoring interference).

"Fortunately, it's purple's upgradable skill," the system said.

"It looks awesome."

Li Senlin's long-range shooting skill is 70 points now, and if he adds 5.00% more, his open shooting rate will reach 70.00%.

However, the three-point line is leaning back, thinking about the picture is quite beautiful.

Ignoring the interference means that after the shooting was interfered with, Wu's shooting percentage instantly rose from 30.00% to 40.00%. This is a proper NBA high-quality shooter.

"System, you just mentioned purple, what does purple represent?"

The system seems to be a little patient this time.

Said: "Purple cards represent skills that can be upgraded, which are top-level skills. Blue cards represent non-upgradeable stars, and they are also one-time cards. Green cards represent one-time skills."

"Oh, so it is."

Li Senlin has a deeper understanding of the system's card functions, and the system's settings are still very delicate.

"Hey, then will I drop a skill pack every time I fight Kobe one-on-one?"

"As long as you match up with an S-level or above player recognized by the system, and you have an offensive and defensive matchup, you have a [-]% chance of obtaining the opponent's exclusive skills. After you drop it once, you won't drop the second one. Second-rate."

"Ah, only S-level and SS-level stars have exclusive skills?"

"Yes, S-level stars have only one exclusive skill. SS-level stars have two."

"Then I'll have some at S rank in the future."

"Well, yes."

"Really been waiting."

"Temporary hosts must first learn to be down-to-earth"

"If people don't have dreams, what's the difference between them and salted fish?" Li Senlin choked the system with the words of Master Xing.

"...the road to becoming an NBA superstar is still very long, the temporary host should work hard." The system looked at Li Senlin's high-spirited appearance, and did not hit him.

"Thank you, system, you are not so annoying sometimes." Li Senlin said.

"..."

"Hey, how do you equip this skill card?"

"Please open the attribute panel and see the three spaces next to the character? One space can be equipped with one skill card. Just look at the space and read the name of the skill card silently."

Li Senlin followed the system's instructions. Sure enough, the skill card in the inventory was transferred to the equipment bar next to the attribute character. Three blank spaces meant that 3 skill cards could be equipped.

After looking at my projection data, it became 70(+5)/100.

Well, it seems that there is nothing to do next. We are waiting for the contract to be signed tomorrow. Li Senlin is very happy when he thinks of signing the contract.

Turning on the computer, Li Senlin was about to go online, read the latest news, and log in to QQ habitually. Although he had been abroad for more than three years, the habit of using QQ in high school had never changed.

At this time, mobile phones are not so intelligent. Li Senlin's mobile phone is still a Nokia 6120 model, and there are very few apps.

Li Senlin was still thinking about whether to create some investment apps or something in the future.

The internet speed is not very fast, at least compared with the internet speed of Li Senlin's home in the previous life, it is not comparable now.

The webpage opened slowly, and Li Senlin habitually opened domestic portals. At this time, Weibo had not yet been born, and it would be developed by Sina next year.

Li Senlin can only open the portal to browse domestic news.

At this time, the NBA section of the portal website was basically dominated by news about Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, or reports about the Lakers and Celtics.Li Senlin found a report about himself in the corner.

It seems that the Chinese media in the NBA with Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian obviously won't focus on him as a temporary worker, and only occasionally sporadic reports.

"Di, di" the phone's message sounded.

"Li, buddy, welcome to officially join the Thunder." Westbrook sent a message.

"Welcome, Lee." Durant also sent a message.

"Congratulations on signing the contract." Collison also sent a message.

... Li Senlin received congratulatory text messages from many Thunder teammates one after another.

Except Joe Smith.

Li Senlin replied thank you one by one.

Then I didn't take it to heart, the days to come will still be long.

After Li Senlin browsed the portal website, he looked at the NBA section of Hupu. The analysis of him in it was very thorough. Obviously, senior basketball fans have noticed Li Senlin.

Many people left comments under his special report.

"Wow, so awesome."

"25 points in a single quarter, some masters will check if it's a rookie record."

"Watching the first half, I thought it was another scumbag. After watching the whole game, I found that I was slapped in the face by him."

"The provocation of the ball in the first half actually made me see the unyielding eyes of the young Kobe challenging Jordan and Iverson challenging Jordan." This is a comment left after watching Li Senlin's performance in the fourth quarter.

Seeing this comment, Li Senlin was a little embarrassed. He really didn't know that Kobe was facing him at the time, otherwise he wouldn't have done such a shameless thing no matter how impulsive he was.

However, this ball seems to have played a good role with Li Senlin's fury in the fourth quarter, making most people think that he is the kind of arrogant newcomer who does not succumb to the opponent's reputation, just like Iverson challenged Jordan back then.

Of course, if there is no performance in the fourth quarter, then this kind of behavior is undoubtedly a shame.

There was a flash in QQ, and news popped up in the third class group.

Class leader Zhang Lan sent a group photo of the previous class group, and then said:

"Heroes and immortals, I occasionally found a group photo of everyone on my phone. I miss you so much. It's been a long time since you all met. When will we meet?"

In the past, Li Senlin's school was regarded as a key provincial school, and most of the students in the class were still in their senior year.

Li Senlin and a small number of people chose to go abroad, and most of them stayed in China to continue their university studies.

"Everyone is in their senior year. They are either taking the postgraduate entrance examination or looking for a job. Maybe they have to wait for the Chinese New Year." Said Gao Gao, the sports committee member of the high school.

"Yes." Lao Gao's deskmate Zhang Bin echoed.

"Well, our domestic ones should be fine, but I don't know if those who are abroad can come back." Li Fang, the monitor's deskmate, said.

Then @ @ a few students including Li Senlin who are studying abroad.

The relationship between high school classmates is pretty good, very pure.

Li Senlin typed the words.

"Uh, maybe not, I guess I'm going to work during Chinese New Year..."

There is no Spring Festival holiday in the NBA, and only a few students in the class who are particularly close to him know that he has embarked on the path of professional basketball.

Most of the others didn't know that he was coming to America.

"It depends. I also want to go back." Bai Feifei, a class flower at Princeton University in the United States, returned.

"Feifei, I miss you, give me a hug." Zhang Lanqunli, the squad leader, immediately hugged her.

In an instant, the topic went off track again.

Bai Feifei didn't reply.

Li Senlin seems to be a little unclear about what happened in high school in his memory.

The feelings for classmates are not as deep as the original Li Senlin.

The topics in the group appeared one after another. Li Senlin watched it for a while and felt that he was not interested, so he closed the Q group.

Li Senlin closed the computer.

Lying down, thinking about the experience during this period, I still feel incredible.

The apartment is not big, with one bedroom and one living room. Before Li Senlin crossed over, his life was still very tight.

Li Senlin only had three or four thousand dollars left in his bank card. If Li Senlin hadn't stayed with the Thunder, he would probably have to give up his dream of basketball.

But this time I came here, with the help of the system, then I not only want to realize the ideal of the two lives, but also become a superstar in the NBA.

Before time travel, Li Senlin did not choose to go abroad after his third year of high school. He gave up his dream of playing in the NBA and was willing to succumb to reality. According to his parents' wishes, he stayed in China, went to college, and became a white-collar worker.

But the self in this life dared to chase his dreams, was constantly rejected and denied, and suffered a lot.

The two lives merged into one, so now everything starts anew.

Li Senlin's heart of wanting to become a superstar gradually became firmer.
