I really play basketball

Chapter 11 The First Step Master

[The mission is completed and the rewards have been issued. 】

After entering the system, Lin Xing saw such a prompt.

Looking back, the badge column on the profile page is no longer empty.

[Badge: Master of the first step. 】

"really!"

Lin Xing had guessed early on that once this task related to Tim Hardaway was completed, the badges he could get would probably be inseparable from Crossover (crossover) or extraordinary.

As expected...

[Master of the first step: Emblem, after equipped, increases the speed when the host dribble starts. (According to the host's related attribute values, the degree of improvement varies.)】

After glancing at the badge introduction, Lin Xing probably understood the function of this badge.

"First step master, fastest first step?"

He immediately thought of Grant Hill, McGrady, Iverson, Wade, etc. who claimed to have the fastest first step.

"Hill and McGrady are similar in height to me, but their cross step is also ridiculously strong. Does this badge mean that I also have the opportunity to become a cross step master?"

After studying the badge carefully, Lin Xing found——

"The badge has no level, but the degree of improvement is related to the value of the relevant attribute."

For example, Lin Xing now has the badge of "First Step Master", which has specific requirements for Lin Xing's five attributes: ball control, breakthrough, speed, explosiveness and flexibility.

The badge can only be used when the five attributes are over 70, and the improvement is only a small increase.

If the five attributes are all over 80, the improvement rate of the badge will be slightly increased.

If the five attributes are all over 90, the improvement rate of the badge will be greatly improved.

When all five attributes reach the full value of 99, the improvement rate of the badge will be maximized.

At that time, Lin Xing's first step must be the fastest first step in basketball history.

"As long as the first step is fast enough, the power of the cross step will be stronger, I understand..."

I understand, I understand, Lin Xing is a little bit regretful now, what are you regretting?
Regret the last time he upgraded, he didn't slightly improve his breakthrough attribute.

Now, Lin Xing's four attributes of ball control, speed, explosiveness and agility have all passed 80, and are not even far from 90.

There is only a breakthrough, and the hip pull is only 73 points.

The reason why he has not been added is that his breakthrough, combined with his speed, explosiveness, flexibility, strength, and elbows, is enough for him to kill most NCAA-level defenders.

Looking at it now, enough is enough, but once the badge comes out, his pursuit of breakthrough is no longer just enough.

Rather, he wants to become a real breakthrough master.

……

Lin Xingben didn't want to waste the last period of the vacation. He had already made up his mind to stay in Oakland until the school in Long Beach started.

But his father and mother have a phone on the left and a phone on the right, which means——

"I finally graduated from high school and took a long vacation, but I didn't stay at home all day. Ah Xing, do you think you are going too far?"

In order not to go too far, Lin Xing had no choice but to bid farewell to Payton, Kidd and Tim Hardaway in advance, and bid farewell to these three future Hall of Fame point guards.

Back in Los Angeles, I lived with my parents for a while.

Lin Xing, who was really idle and bored, often went to Uncle Qin's place to practice Jeet Kune Do to pass the time.

Passing away, he originally knew only one and a half moves of Jeet Kune Do, but he has also practiced one and a half moves, and now he knows two moves and one move.

During the time he stayed in the Chinese district of Los Angeles, he also met a few old friends from the past.

An old friend tattooed a pair of big flower arms, showing off in various ways.

He also recommended Lin Xing to get some tattoos, especially the blue dragon on the left arm, which is essential:
"You must have a green dragon tattooed on your left arm. In this way, everyone will think that you belong to the Huaqing Gang. When you walk outside, no one will dare to bully you."

Lin Xing was very disdainful of this and rejected the proposal.

After half a month of messing around like this, Lin Xing left Los Angeles, and he was about to start school.

……

California State University, Long Beach, in Long Beach, California.

Lin Xing didn't know whether it was a prestigious school in North American academic circles.

But Lin Xing knows that its art majors and business management majors are well-known in North America.

And, Lin Xing also knows that its school basketball team, the 49ers, does not belong to the top NCAA teams.

The league it belongs to is the Great Western League, not the Pacific Ten Schools League, which is stronger and more famous in the California area or on the West Coast.

Even, it is not the top team in the Great Western League.

Speaking of last season's results, Long Beach only ranked fourth in the regular season of the Atlantic Conference, being under pressure by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, the University of California, Santa Barbara, and New Mexico State University.

Tournament, they also lost to New Mexico State University, so they missed March Madness.

Seth Greenberg was the team's head coach, and Long Beach was his first NCAA team.

As a head coach who has only been in charge for two years, and as the head coach of an unknown NCAA Division I non-top team, he could never have imagined that——

Lin Xing, a five-star high school student ranked 6th in the United States this year, will skip the Stanford University Crimson Team and the Oregon State University Beavers team and choose to join his team.

"It's incredible, amazing, unbelievable..."

At the coaching staff meeting before the start of school, Seth Greenberg came up with such a hodgepodge of adjectives.

Then, the task was assigned——

"We want to welcome Lin Xing to join and let him feel that the 49ers value him. Wayne, this task is entrusted to you!"

Wayne Morgan, the 49ers' assistant coach, a young black man with a bald head, nodded instantly.

"Also, warn Byron, tell him to be honest and not to cause trouble!"

……

"It's hard to imagine that the sixth-ranked five-star high school student in the United States will join us?"

The 49ers are also discussing this inexplicable addition of a truly talented high school student.

Why is it true?
In fact, those who can play in the NCAA Division I are at least a starlet in high school.

For example, the two cores of the current 49ers, the offensive core Lucios Harris and the defensive core Byron Russell, were both powerful in high school.

Especially Byron Russell, who attended San Bertino High School in high school, ranked 18th in the United States when he graduated.

And Byron Russell is unconvinced to everyone, even Michael Jordan is no exception.

In 1994, when Jordan retired for the first time and had no plans to come back, he met Byron Russell and was provoked:
"Why did you retire? Because you know I can guard you, and if I see you in gym shorts, huh, I'll blow you up!"

Perhaps, Jordan later chose to come back, not unrelated to Byron Russell?
Now to Lin Xing, Byron Russell is the same: "Sixth in the United States? Cut, what about the sixth in the United States? When he comes to my territory, he has to obey me. I am the dragon coiled up for me, and the tiger is lying down for me!"

As a result, some teammates desperately asked: "What if he doesn't want to sit cross-legged or lie down?"

"Then I'll beat him cross-legged and lying down!"

Lin Xing, who has not yet arrived in Long Beach, does not know that he has been targeted by Byron Russell.

　The second update, please recommend a ticket, a monthly ticket!
