I really play basketball

Chapter 65 The NBA Phase of the System
The Louisiana Superdome, where more than 7 people gathered, the moment the game ended.

Half cheering, half quiet!
The quiet half is exiting, and the cheering half is completely insane.

Lin Xing, whose whole body was covered with colorful ribbons, had become the only focus of the audience.

In front of and behind him, almost all the shots were aimed at him.

No one is surprised or exaggerated, Lin Xing, who swept the NCAA this season, deserves this treatment.

In front of countless cameras, he walked towards his opponent.

Lost in the final again, the Michigan Five are very frustrated at the moment.

They can tolerate failure, but two consecutive failures are too bleak and unacceptable.

When Lin Xing, the winner, appeared in front of them, they immediately managed their expressions.

Jaylen Rose stretched out his right hand expressionlessly, and shook hands with Lin Xing.

Uncle Huo forced a smile, opened his arms and hugged Lin Xing.

He also said: "You have gained a deserved victory, congratulations."

Lin Xing can only sigh with emotion, the second uncle is the second uncle, how can he not comment off the court, the professionalism is still very high.

Finally, it was Chris Webb.

Weber is the worst expression management among the three. Is there a reason?
Of course, because of this game, he lost too much.

"Congratulations, Sta, the NCAA championship is now yours."

The same hug, the same words of congratulations.

But when he let go of the hug, Weber couldn't wait to ask: "Will you participate in this year's NBA draft, Star?"

Lin Xing nodded affirmatively, and Weber immediately became even more frustrated.

This day, for Weber, may be the most tragic day in his life.

He lost the NCAA finals for two consecutive seasons. Now that he has decided to participate in the NBA draft, it is impossible for him to touch that NCAA championship.

His draft prices also plummeted because of this game.

No one wants to be the No. [-] pick, but after Lin Xing confirmed his participation in this year's draft, the No. [-] pick has gone away from him.

Even as Stephen Smith said, his draft prices have fallen outside the top three.

He even needs to work hard to return to the top three, the situation is already very bad.

It can only be said that it is okay, there is still a trial training session before the draft.

He still has the possibility to come back...

"Then see you in the NBA!"

The two shook hands again, and then, Lin Xing took his teammates and left the court.

By the time they came back, they were wearing championship T-shirts and championship baseball caps.

The NCAA championship trophy has been placed in the center of the court.

Inside the Superdome, only the Long Beach fans were left.

The award ceremony is about to begin.

"The champions of the 1993 NCAA Tournament - the Cal State Long Beach 49ers!"

When NCAA president Miles Brand chanted the name of the Long Beach team, the Superdome erupted into cheers that resounded throughout the sky.

Lin Xing was surrounded by all his teammates, holding up the championship trophy with both hands.

At the same time, in the commentary seat, Stephen Smith was also quite emotional:

"Long Beach made history. They won the NCAA championship trophy for the first time in team history, and Stalin, who won the trophy, is already the greatest basketball player in the history of Long Beach."

After winning the cup, it's time to announce the MOP of the final four.

Final Four MOP?That is, the most outstanding player in the semi-finals, as the name implies——

From the start of the semi-finals to the finals, the players who performed the best in the two games together.

And this year's final four MOP, in fact, there is no suspense.

In the semi-finals, Lin Xing scored a team-high 27 points, 7 rebounds, 10 assists and 2 steals despite being heavily guarded.

In this final, although the second half of the game lost suspense early.

But the University of Michigan did not replace the main players, and Lin Xing never ended.

He didn't stop even if he didn't end. After scoring 26 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals in the first half,
In the second half, he further scored 19 points, 3 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals.

In the end, he had 45 points, 5 rebounds, 9 assists and 5 steals.

In two games, he averaged 36.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 9.5 assists and 3.5 steals.

The magnificence of the data is probably the highest in the entire history of the NCAA.

Soon, NCAA Chairman Miles Brand once again stood in the center of the court, and announced loudly into the microphone:
"The player who received the most outstanding player award in this year's NCAA Tournament Final Four is-"

He paused for a moment, but without any suspense, his pause caused the entire Superdome to shout Lin Xing's name.

"Sta! Stad! Stad!"

"Sta! Stad! Stad!"

"..."

Miles Brand immediately shouted Lin Xing's name: "Lin Xing!"

So, the audience cheered, and Lin Xing took a step forward.

He took the microphone from Miles Brand to deliver his acceptance speech.

"First of all, I want to thank..."

The practice of acceptance speeches is to thank a lot of people first.

Lin Xing felt that he really should thank many people.

He should thank his parents in this life, even though they didn't support him in playing basketball.

Thanks to Uncle Qin, he can play basketball so well, thanks to Uncle Qin's training.

He should thank Payton, thank Kidd, thank Tim Hardaway, because they helped his growth.

He should thank the head coach and coaching staff of Long Beach, as well as his teammates at Long Beach, who made him have a perfect NCAA career.

While thanking, he hugged his coach and teammates.

Then, turning around, Lin Xing officially announced——

"I decided to end my NCAA career, and I will bring my talent to the NBA!"

So, there was an uproar!
Although it has been guessed for a long time, Lin Xing will probably choose to participate in the NBA draft after the end of this season.

But when he actually announced it to the public, Long Beach fans still found it difficult to accept.

Seth Greenberg looked at Lin Xing, at Russell, at Lucios, and shook his head.

The peak can no longer be retained, and everything has to start all over again.

On the contrary, the NBA executives in front of the TV waved their fists excitedly.

In Los Angeles, a general manager who did not want to be named suddenly felt a little remorseful.

"Fk, if we knew that this year's NCAA would produce a super talent like Stalin, we should have done it badly!"

"Now this record is not going up or down, it's too uncomfortable!"

Not far away in Sacramento, Kings general manager Jerry Reynolds was beaming.

He directly dialed the number of Kings coach Gary Jean and told the other party:,

"Gary, for the remaining few regular season games, my request is not to win any of them!"

"Huh? Don't win a game?"

"You heard me right, just don't win a game!"

Go north, San Francisco.

Old Nelson remained calm, but the man suspected of Popovich understood:

Crazy scientists are already thinking about the probability of the Warriors getting the No. [-] lottery.

As for how to use Lin Xing?A player with such talent, as long as you give him the ball, is the best way to use it.

Look at the head coach of Long Beach, Seth Greenberg, who is little-known, how well he uses it!

Then across the entire United States, to Philadelphia, the city of friendship.

Sixers general manager Jim Linam is suddenly thankful that he sent Charles Barkley away before the season.

Now, the 76ers' record is one of the worst in the league.

Their chances of winning the No. [-] lottery are very high, but they need to work harder.

Orlando, John Gabriel asks Sharks again --

"Okay Shaq, the NCAA is over, now, what's your choice?"

"Stalin Lin..."

Shark didn't hesitate, but soon, he repeated the old story:

"I always feel that you are teasing me, John, you let me choose this or that, but the problem is, our record can't get the number one lottery at all!"

"Can't get the No. [-] lottery? It's not certain, don't worry, Shaq, let Star fly for a while!"

Super Dome, Lin Xing holds the trophy.

He didn't know that after this game, the NBA was crazy about him.

Teams like the Kings and the 76ers have a bad record, and now they want to make the record even worse.

Teams with consistent records like the Lakers and Magic are also considering whether to fall into the lottery zone and try their best to win the No. [-] lottery with a low probability.

The little butterfly is already flapping its wings, and the change of history is at this very moment.

Lin Xing must be the champion, but the champion does not necessarily belong to magic.

But Lin Xing has no time to think about all this, because at this moment, his eyes have been filled by Lin's father and Lin's mother who suddenly appeared at the entrance of the players' tunnel and stared at him from a distance.

……

"Did Dean Smith really say that Michael Jordan is retiring?"

"Can it be fake? The media is now reporting on it."

"But why is he retiring at this time? There is no reason. Could it be Dean Smith talking nonsense?"

"Nonsense? Gary, don't be naive. Dean Smith is Michael Jordan's mentor in college. Others may talk nonsense, but he can't."

"It would be surprising and unexpected if what Dean Smith said was true..."

Time, it is already the third day that the Long Beach branch has won the championship.

The day after winning the championship, the 49ers returned to Long Beach.

On the streets of Long Beach, a grand championship parade was held.

After that, Lin Xing waved goodbye to Long Beach and returned to Los Angeles.

In Los Angeles, Gary Payton made a connection, and he met Aaron Goodwin, whose brokerage business was just getting started.

Now that he has decided to participate in the draft, he will now prepare for the NBA draft in more than two months.

Signing an agent is the first step.

Sitting in a coffee shop in Los Angeles, Lin Xing listened to the discussion between Peyton and Aaron Goodwin.

As Aaron Goodwin said, the head coach of North Carolina, Dean Smith, leaked a gossip, which directly smashed the headlines of major North American media.

Even the enthusiasm for the Long Beach branch to win the NCAA championship has been suppressed a lot.

"Okay, let's get to the point."

Aaron Goodwin turned his head and looked at Lin Xing who had been sitting silently.

"I know, Star, maybe in your opinion, I am not a big agent, and there is a big gap with David Falk and Arne Trem.

But as long as you choose me, I can guarantee that this summer, I can make you the rookie with the highest commercial value in NBA history. "

Agents, what they do is to develop the commercial value of players.

Lin Xing touched his chin: "For example?"

"For example, a month later, you can see a sneaker endorsement contract from Nike or Adidas with a lot of money."

Aaron Goodwin was very confident, but Lin Xing shook his head unexpectedly:
"Not enough, Aaron, don't try to deceive me. With my current momentum and my dunks, even without an agent, I can still get a sky-high sneaker contract."

"Plus two or three endorsements of considerable value?"

Aaron Goodwin went on to describe the advantages he has in business development,
"I have a good relationship with the top executives at Yardley, and Coca-Cola.

If you sign with me, I can make you the face of Yardley and Coca-Cola. "

He was full of confidence, but unexpectedly, Lin Xing shook his head again.

"Obviously, Aaron, you don't know me, so you don't know what I want."

Aaron Goodwin frowned. In his opinion, what this group of basketball players want is various advertising endorsements and the huge dollars these endorsements bring?
Why is this Stalin different from others?

"Okay, Sta, what do you want?"

"What I want is an agent who will never overstep the rules. All business development must be approved by me.
And, in order to maintain a flexibility, I am only willing to sign a two-year agent contract at most. "

Short-term contracts, and various restrictions on the power of brokers.

This is what Lin Xing wants.

He doesn't want his agent to take too much control of his basketball career, and he doesn't trust these black and white agents in the United States.

Especially under the background of the 90s, discrimination is everywhere.

No matter what, Lin Xing had to keep a hand.

Aaron Goodwin frowned, apparently hesitating.

Lin Xing didn't urge him either. Anyway, Goodwin was unwilling, and some agents were willing.

To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter whether Lin Xing is the No. [-] pick, whether he has a manager or not.

Signing an agent is just to increase the upper limit.

what cap?
At this time, the NBA has not imposed many restrictions on the contracts of rookie players.

In theory, Lin Xing can sign a sky-high rookie contract after being selected.

Just like next year's draft, after becoming the No. [-] pick, the big dog Glenn Robinson asked for a contract of [-] million yuan.

Although it was unsuccessful in the end, he also signed a 10-year, $6800 million rookie contract, the largest in history.

Lin Xing has no intention of learning from the big dog, but he also needs a professional agent to help him negotiate a rookie contract that is worthy of his worth.

After a while, Goodwin made a decision.

"Ok, with a two-year contract, the agent's commission is calculated based on the most basic 4% and 20%, and I will obtain your approval for all business development actions and advertising endorsements before taking any action."

With these words, Lin Xing has no doubts.

He stretched out his right hand: "Then happy cooperation!"

……

After signing the brokerage agreement, the three of them separated.

Gary Payton is going back to Seattle, and the NBA regular season is coming to an end. As the supersonic master, he is indispensable.

Aaron Goodwin got straight to work, and before leaving Los Angeles, he had a chat with Lin Xing.

Afterwards, I got in touch with a certain Nike executive, ready to negotiate a record-setting rookie sneaker contract for Lin Xing.

As for Lin Xing, he went home and had dinner with Lin's father and Lin's mother who no longer opposed him playing basketball.

Then at night, I went to Uncle Qin's house to stay for a while.

Finally, lying in his cubicle, he entered the system.

It's time for the system to enter the next stage. Lin Xing really wants to know how the system in the NBA stage will be different.

[End of the NCAA stage? 】

Looking at the button in the system, Lin Xing pressed it without hesitation.

Then, the system interface began to shake violently, the screen in front of him was broken and reorganized, and finally a brand new interface appeared.

[The host's NCAA stage has ended, and the system is in the process of settlement...]

settlement?

Lin Xing was stunned. Could it be that there are still rewards for the system to enter the next stage?

[It was found that the host has won one national championship, two regional championships, ten individual awards, and five individual small awards in the NCAA stage. After the system settled, the host received a total of 85 honor points. 】

Honor points?
A new thing appeared, Lin Xing curiously found the system description.

[Honor Points: Can be used to redeem special rewards in the Honor Store. 】

Honor store?

Lin Xing hasn't seen the Honor Store yet. He guessed that the store will open after the system enters the next stage.

So, he rubbed his chin, waiting for the new system to load.

By the way, he calculated the source of honor points according to the system instructions.

An all-American championship, needless to say, is the NCAA championship, worth 20 honor points.

Two regional champions, the regular season champion and the championship champion of the Atlantic Conference, a 5 points, a total of 10 points.

The ten individual awards are complicated. In addition to the MOP of the Final Four, there are also a number of scattered honors known as the NCAA's seven annual awards.

For example, the Adolph Rupp Award hosted by the Commonwealth Athletic Club in Kentucky, and the Coaches Association's NABC Player of the Year.

There are also Oscar Robertson Awards, Naismith Awards, John Wooden Awards, Associated Press Player of the Year, USBWA Player of the Year, Basketball Times Player of the Year and Sporting News Player of the Year.

It is said that there are seven awards, but actually there can be as many as nine.

And these so-called individual awards were all taken over by Lin Xing.

There is no way, the main reason is that Lin Xing's dominance is too strong.

Among these awards, such as the Naismith Award and the John Wooden Award, are all personal awards with considerable gold content.

The award to Lin Xing this time also set a record——

For the first time in history, these individual awards were awarded to an NCAA freshman.

Ten awards, one with 5 points, that is 50 points.

Plus the Atlantic League regular season MVP, Best Rookie, Best Defensive First Team, Best First Team First Team and Tournament MVP, each with 1 point, for a total of 5 points.

The total of the above is 85 honor points.

After calculating these, the new system is loaded.

Soon, Lin Xing discovered——

"The blood value can be directly used to add points?"

To put it simply, it is still against accumulating bloody points. The change is that bloody points can be directly used to add points.

The system gives a store page, which is divided into two parts.

One is the attribute point store, blood value can be directly exchanged for attribute points.

The system divides the attribute points into levels, every tenth level, 0 to 9 levels, 10 to 19 levels, and so on.

Attribute points from 0 to 9 require 1 blood value, attribute points from 10 to 19 require 10 attribute points, and so on.

"The attribute points from 90 to 99, each point, will cost 1000000000 points of blood value. Does this mean that you can continue to add more points?"

Although the system has a note: After joining the NBA, the speed of blood point accumulation will accelerate.

Lin Xing still felt the difficulty of growing up...

To his relief, the more than 10000 blood points in the system have not been reset to zero.

This means that he can use the blood value of more than 10000 points now.

Although, it's useless.

More than 10000 blood points are only enough to exchange for 40 to 49 attribute points.

Attributes within this range are not displayed.

Apart from the attribute point store, there is the honor store.

Honor points are exchanged for special rewards. Lin Xing is very curious about what the so-called special rewards are.

Lin Xing glanced around and understood immediately.

[Top level airborne, priced at 100 honor points]

[Top flexibility, price: 100 honor points. 】

[Top ball feel, price: 100 honor points. 】

[Big hand, price: 1 honor points for every 10cm increase. 】

[Long arm, price: 1 honor points for every 10cm increase. 】

[Long legs, price: 1 honor points for every 10cm increase. 】

This so-called honor store sells some talents that are not listed as attributes.

Like staying in the air, Lin Xing's staying in the air is not bad, but compared with Jordan's top air, it is still a little bit worse.

If he wants Jordan's top air, he can just exchange it directly.

However, Lin Xing looked at these so-called top talents and thought that what he needs most should be top flexibility and top touch.

"If you give me a top-level flexibility, I can go from Zhan Hua to (Mai) Di Hua."

If there is a choice, who wants to play like Azhan?
Who wouldn't want to play like Tracy McGrady if given a choice?
"If you give me a top-level sense of the ball, I can point to Iverson's nose: you are called AI?"

What is Lin Xing short of being a top cross step master?Isn't it the sense of the ball?

Why is AI the best CrossOver in history?Isn't it because he has an invincible sense of the ball?

"100 honor points, it's really not expensive..."

Lin Xing has already made up his mind, when he has saved up to 15 honor points, he will directly change to a top-level flexibility.

When he has accumulated 100 honor points, he will change to another top-level ball sense.

In the end, the NCAA has so far, apart from a badge task, no more mission system, and after the system enters the next stage, a main task emerges.

[Main task: Become the No. 1993 pick in the [-] NBA draft, system reward: The host can choose one of the four badges given by the system. 】

"So, the badge depends on the task, the attribute depends on the blood value, and the top talent depends on the honor point."

"I just don't know if there are any Easter eggs hidden in the new system..."

　The first update, six thousand words.

　　This chapter has written too many things about the system. There may be bugs in the value setting. If any book friends find it, they can point it out and Yiwen can modify it as appropriate.
