I really play basketball

Chapter 8 Treating like never before

Accustomed to the noise in his ears, Jason Kidd actually envied Lin Xing.

It's not because Lin Xing and Payton get along very well, but he is more like Payton's younger brother.

What he envied was that Lin Xing was able to score against Payton's defense, while he...

Maybe you can enter, but once in a while, it is already a high incense.

Gary Payton's defense is strong, strong enough just to tell you that he is the fifth outside Dpoy winner in NBA history.

It may be hard to deny that the development of "Kidd does not attack" is inseparable from Payton's destruction of Kidd when he was young.

Compared with Kidd who always failed to score a goal against Payton, Lin Xing can still score a few.

For example, in the one-on-one game that just ended, the rule of 11 goals, the final score was 11 to 4, and Lin Xing scored 4 goals.

Why can Lin Xing get in, but Kidd can't?
On the one hand, in terms of physical fitness, the current Lin Xing is indeed better.

Facing Payton, who is very strong after systematic training in the NBA, Lin Xing will not be particularly disadvantaged, but Kidd, who is still a little thin, is different.

On the other hand, Lin Xing has a lot of tricks, elbows, and trash talk, and he can match Payton, who has the same tricks, elbows, and trash talk.

And Jason Kidd, the two-time NBA Ethics Award winner, naturally couldn't withstand Payton's devastation without these tricks.

……

The three got into the car again, and no matter how unwilling Payton was, he could only drag Lin Xing and Kidd back to the apartment he bought in Seattle.

This is an apartment located in a middle-class community in Seattle. It is small in size, with two floors and only three or four rooms.

It doesn't look like an NBA star's residence, but that's the reality.

As the No. 90 pick in 300, Gary Payton entered the NBA for only two seasons. The combined salary of the first two years was more than [-] million US dollars, and only half was left after tax deduction.

Of course, it is enough to buy a luxury house, but it is impossible to use all the money to buy a house.

The Chevrolet off-road outside the door, those loans and loans before entering the NBA, and other expenses after making money, buying a house is secondary.

Knowing this, Lin Xing was not surprised or surprised. He followed Peyton and pushed open the creaking door of the apartment.

Then, he saw a black shadow.

"Someone! Thief?"

Lin Xing shouted in surprise, even with a little excitement in his voice.

Peyton turned on the light angrily, and a carefree black girl with a slightly bulging belly appeared in front of her eyes.

"Don't make a fuss, this is Monique, my girlfriend."

"Uh……"

Lin Xing scratched his head with a dry smile, then stretched out his left hand: "Hi, Monique, I'm Gary's father..."

It was originally a very serious greeting, but as soon as "I am Gary's father" came out, Kidd's eyes widened behind him, Monique's face was full of puzzlement, and Peyton clenched his fists.

"Friends of... son's son, well, that's it."

Lin Xing, who paused for a moment, continued, everything will be normal.

Peyton loosened his fist, and Kidd shook his head after a chuckle. Only Monique asked suspiciously, "Who is Gary's father's son?"

"It's Gary..."

"..."

Monique, who came back to her senses, rolled her eyes, "So, you are Gary's friend?"

This time, Peyton denied it: "Fk, he's a shitty friend."

Lin Xing just laughed, he just made a joke, he likes to make some harmless jokes, because it can exercise his trash talking ability.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, Monique, you go and clean up a guest room, this guy and Jason will stay here for a while."

……

Lying in this room with two beds, Lin Xing stared, still not asleep.

Kidd, who was two steps away, was already snoring.

Why didn't Lin Xing sleep?It's not that he accepts the bed, but that the system has been upgraded.

A UCLA workout, interspersed with two one-on-ones with Kidd on the way from San Francisco to Seattle, plus this one-on-one with Payton tonight.

Just like that, the blood value has exceeded 100 points, and the system has been upgraded.

[Blood value: 101, can be upgraded. 】

The upgrade button of the system is highlighted, which means that Lin Xing can press it to complete the upgrade.

In the pitch black environment, Lin Xing pressed it without hesitation.

[System upgrade...]

The progress bar kept turning, and Lin Xing just stared at it, waiting for the upgrade to be completed.

This wait, that is, the whole night passed.

Early the next morning, the dazed Lin Xing with two big dark circles under his eyes just wanted to scold himself: You are an idiot!
That night, he seemed to be asleep, but he didn't seem to be.

Anyway, the system has been upgraded, so let's take a look.

[The system has been upgraded, and the increase of each attribute is as follows:]

【进攻属性：控球80（82）、传球71（72）、突破69（71）、上篮66（68）、扣篮70（73）、近距离投篮60、罚球81】

[Defensive attributes: single defense 62 (64), steals 55 (58)]

【身体属性：速度80（81）、爆发80（81）、灵活79（80）、力量65（68）、弹跳75（77）、耐力78（80）】

[Note: The attribute values ​​after growth are in brackets. 】

The drowsy Lin Xing continued to stare, thinking about whether there is any pattern in this wave of increase that can be found.

After a while, he really let him find some.

"The offense has increased by 10 points, the defense by 5 points, and the physical attribute by 10 points, adding up to 25 points. Is this a rule? We will have to wait for the next upgrade to know."

"One trial, three heads-ups, I never shot at close range, most of them were dunks, and a few were layups, so the close-range shots did not move, 2 points were added for layups, and 3 points were added for dunks."

"Single defense and steals are also used at a high intensity. The rest, not to mention pass control and physical attributes, which one is not used?"

Probably found the pattern, Lin Xing skipped this reminder.

Immediately afterwards, the next prompt popped up——

[The system has been upgraded to version 2.1, rewarding 25 random attribute points, which can be added freely. 】

"really……"

Lin Xing immediately contacted the 25-point attribute that the system upgrades to automatically increase, and he seems to have found the connection.

"If this is really a rule, it means that every time you upgrade, you can get 50 attribute points?"

Lin Xing thought about it, 50 attribute points each time, twice, is equal to 100 attribute points, which is approximately equal to the full value of an attribute.

The growth rate of this system is quite impressive.

In fact, there is no need to equalize, Lin Xing has made up his mind a long time ago, adding body in the early stage, until it is full, and nothing else will be added.

Because he has always believed in: basketball, playing is the body!
At 25 o'clock this time, he didn't have any hesitation, and directly opened the point.

Except for the stamina that is enough for him at this stage, add 5 points to each of the remaining five physical attributes, and call it a day.

The new attribute map is as follows——

【进攻属性：控球82、传球72、突破71、上篮68、扣篮73、近距离投篮60、罚球81】

[Defensive attributes: single defense 64, steals 58]

【身体属性：速度86、爆发86、灵活85、力量73、弹跳82、耐力80】

"This body should be considered a perverted one, right?"

In fact, there is a good way to test whether it is a body of abnormal level, that is:
Wake up right now, grab Gary Payton, and say good morning...one on one!

……

"Damn it, Star, you hit too hard."

"Mine, I can't hold back."

"I told you all the time, take it easy!"

"I'm so useless, Gary."

"Fk, are you playing basketball or hitting people?"

"I really play basketball!"

"..."

In a good morning one-on-one, Lin Xing got a satisfactory answer.

In the past, his speed was explosive and flexible, and he was still a little stretched when facing Payton, but now this problem does not exist.

In the past, his strength could withstand Payton, but now, his strength can even suppress Payton.

With this body, it is no problem to go directly to the NBA.

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Xing to play in the NBA directly. There are probably two reasons:
On the one hand, if he participates in the NBA now, his advantage is only one body.

He doesn't even have a big physical advantage, he doesn't even have a physical attribute above 90.

In the NBA, if you don't compare with point guards, you can compare with those wing players of the same height. This body is just average.

Except for the body, there is nothing about technology and defense.

In the case of fighting and returning without exploring the way for high school players, his draft pick will definitely not be high.

And this involves another aspect.

In the case that his draft pick must not be high, and it seems that the prospects of his basketball career are not yet clear.

His parents will definitely prevent him from skipping college and going straight to the NBA.

After all, directly participating in the NBA means that he will probably not go to college again, just like Kobe and Ajan.

And after one year of college and then participating in the NBA, if he can't play basketball, he can go back to campus and get a college diploma that his parents value very much.

Instead of being unhappy with his family, he entered the NBA with a low pick and no attention.

It's better to spend a year or even two years in the NCAA, and finally come to the NBA as a proud man of heaven.

……

Anyway, Lin Xing's summer training is in full swing in the city of Seattle.

On weekdays, he would pull Kidd to train together.

Every Gary Payton's rest day, he would pull Payton to have a bloody one-on-one.

Lin Xing's treatment for two Hall of Fame point guard-level sparring partners can be said to be unprecedented.

It's not over yet—

Time flies to the playoffs, and the Supersonics beat the Warriors 3-1.

The night the series ended, Lin Xing met Tim Hardaway at Payton's house.

They are all called Hardaway, and they are all point guards, but this Hardaway is not a penny.

This Hardaway has a nickname that is not well-known, but powerful at first glance-"The Bug".

The nickname "Big Brother" wants to express Tim Hardaway's difficult to guard against Crossover.

In terms of Crossover, everyone only knows about Allen Iverson, but Tim Hardaway considers himself the founder of this trick.

Why did Tim Hardaway visit the Paytons?Because he and Payton have a good personal relationship, and they always brag about each other.

For example, Payton once publicly stated to the media: "I most want to learn the point guard skills of Tim Hardaway."

You know, when he said this, the league's point guards also had peak John Stockton, Kevin Johnson, and Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars who had just passed their peak.

Tim Hardaway will also blow Payton's defense in turn. Every time he faces Payton, it will be uncomfortable. Payton is the best point guard defender in the league.

In addition, Payton is from Oakland, and Tim Hardaway is now playing for the Warriors in Oakland, which is connected again.

The relationship between the two is naturally unusual.

As soon as he saw Tim Hardaway, Lin Xing noticed that the system had some strange reactions, and it jumped out of a so-called mission system.

[Tim Hardaway, an All-Star point guard who played for the Warriors, averaged 23.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 10.0 assists and 2.0 steals per game this season. 】

[He is the strongest opponent you have encountered since you grew up. If you defeat him in a formal one-on-one match, you can get a "badge" reward. 】

Staring at this task, Lin Xing was moved.

But he knew that it would be too difficult to defeat Tim Hardaway, who is already an NBA All-Star head-on...

　After it is put on the shelf, it will use a single chapter or an egg chapter to summarize the system or attributes. Before it is put on the shelf, Yiwen is a little lazy and just throws it into the main text.

　　Rebooked, please recommend a ticket, ask for a monthly ticket!
