This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 155 The New NBA Season Begins
'2006 World Championships No.7 Achievement Achieved, Challenge Coin +30'

Even if he won the NCAA championship, Zhou Lin only got 30 challenge coins. The World Championship is indeed a world-class competition!

Zhou Lin, who was sitting on the plane, knew that another wave of challenge coins could be consumed.

Before the World Championships, Zhou Lin used up the remaining challenge coins to reach the peak of his ability and help the national team strive for the best results.

After experiencing many games, Zhou Lin's statistics have also been greatly improved.

The player proving ground has been opened.

Challenge difficulty: 4 stars

Remaining challenge coins: 41.

The illustrations of the representative gatekeepers are as follows:
2005-2006 Carmelo Anthony (improved mid-range shooting percentage) 4-star (remaining refresh times 6)

2005-2006 LeBron James (improved dunk success rate) 5-star (refresh times 9)

2005-2006 Chris Paul (improved pass success rate) 4 stars (refresh times 6)

2005-2006 Dwyane Wade (improved breakthrough success rate) 5-star (refresh times 10)

(remaining storage space 1)

The picture book has been completed.

2005-2006 Brandon Roy (improve the ability of the fadeaway jumper) 2 stars (remaining refresh times 0)

2005-2006 PJ. Tucker (increased steal success rate) 2 stars (remaining refresh times 0)

2005-2006 Rajon Rondo (improved pass success rate) 3-star (remaining refresh times 0)

2005-2006 Joakim Noah (improve the success rate of blocked shots) 3 stars (remaining refresh times 0)

……

Zhou Lin has already challenged all the 4 gatekeepers that were stored before, and the number of refreshes is 0.

Except for strength, stamina, and defense that failed to break through to A-level, all other attributes have reached A-level.

Moreover, he also included the images of the four strongest players in the Dream Seven team, and he was waiting for Zhou Lin to refresh them.

Of course, the upper limit of concrete gatekeepers became 10 after Zhou Lin challenged a total of 5 times.

Regarding the intake of the system, Zhou Lin has probably figured it out a bit. After each player conquers and challenges a player, in addition to the basic attributes that are not high in amount, there are also special badge skills that appear, and that is the most important thing. The improvement of badge skills will also drive the explosion of related attributes.

If Zhou Lin wants to improve his strength and defense, he needs to recruit defensive champion players, preferably 4-star or above.

Of course, there is another very important point. Among the attributes and abilities obtained by Zhou Lin, they have nothing to do with the attribute of strength. This also left Zhou Lin a space, waiting to meet O'Neill, Da Ben, Artest and the like. Get it again.

Now, Zhou Lin went to check on Anthony first, so far, his physical attributes and Anthony are the best match.

However, for a four-star player, four challenge coins are required for one challenge, which is a bit extravagant.

After five challenges, Zhou Lin finally completed Carmelo Anthony's third swipe!
Finally, in the third challenge, Zhou Lin obtained the skill badge of 'Precise Mid-Shot'.

The main effect of this skill is that the D-level increases the shooting stability by 5%.

For the upcoming NBA debut season, Zhou Lin is also looking forward to it. The NBA-level honors and the challenge points that can be obtained should be higher.

……

"Hey, Zhou, would you like to hang out with us, it will be very exciting at night."

"You have to know how to reward yourself after such hard training and competition every day."

"Let's go together, there will be surprises."

The time advances to October 2006, 10, and Zhou Lin has returned to the team for more than a month.

Charlotte's last preseason game ended tonight. In the game against the Indiana Pacers, the Charlotte Bobcats beat their opponents 99-97. Zhou Lin played 24 minutes off the bench and scored 12 points and 4 assists.

In the preseason games, although all the players of the team played, it was more for the players to do some recovery, just like the first week after the students' holiday, probably to let the players calm down.

Also, just to remove the oil.

Not every player can be a training fanatic and be self-disciplined. Players like Ray Allen and James are rare after all, and it is even more serious for those players who like to eat high-calorie food.

How many players became fat because they couldn't control their mouths, and finally disappeared from the NBA.

In an offseason, an average weight gain of 15 pounds is also normal, but the average player will return to his best shape by the middle of the season.

The team's second-year guard, Raymond Felton, was at least swollen to the naked eye compared to the last time he saw it. Even the team leader, Gerald Wallace, had a rounder face.

These players with stable and big contracts in the team are naturally better than role players, and they are more carefree, which is understandable.

Zhou Lin was slightly annoyed by the invitations of Gerald Wallace, Raymond Felton and Okafor.

He knew where they were going, a nightclub, or some strip club.

This old black man knows how to enjoy himself when he has money.

Zhou Lin also went to a certain consumer place again, and after entering the private room, he was frightened by two turbulent black girls arranged by Gerald Wallace. The curvature of the ass could put a wine glass on it.

Moreover, it is really convenient to do something in the dark corner of the room. The key point is that if the girl smiles and doesn't show her teeth and doesn't speak, Zhou Lin probably won't even be able to find anyone.

The tastes are different and do not compete with each other.

Since then, Zhou Lin never went out to play with the two of them again.

Zhou Lin instinctively wanted to refuse, but Zhou Lin was also thinking about how to be more tactful about the invitation from the team boss.

"Let's play together, Brandon."

"I have to go home, you know."

Brandon Roy said while changing into clean clothes, "Zhou, if you have nothing to do, go to my house to play games."

"I also like playing games."

Zhou Lin smiled and said: "Gerald, Redmond, you go and play, I will go with Brandon."

"Okay, goodbye, both of you."

"Thank you for helping me out, Brandon."

Zhou Lin smiled.

Brandon Roy smiled and said, "As long as I don't affect you."

Zhou Lin shook his head and said, "I don't like too noisy environments, and I'm not yet 21 years old."

Brandon Roy said: "Should you really come to my house? Tiana made a delicious apple pie, you can try it."

Brandon Roy's girlfriend Tiana Barvel has been pregnant for more than 5 months. Brandon Roy will go home directly after training or home games almost every day.

"Then buy a bouquet of flowers along the way." Zhou Lin nodded.

Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy lived within 10 kilometers apart. Similarly, he did not buy a house, but his house was bigger than Zhou Lin's, and he had a small garden. After all, Zhou Lin Lin was almost alone in Charlotte, while Brandon Roy lived with his girlfriend.

Brandon Roy is a very homely person. He doesn't like to go to very lively places. Brandon Roy will shirk any dance or party. After returning home, he walks the dog and mows the lawn, watches TV and plays games with his family , a standard sunny otaku.

But he also has a good excuse, because his girlfriend is pregnant and needs more company, and no one will force it.

On the contrary, it is not normal for a young boy like Zhou Lin who is almost a bachelor without a girlfriend by his side.

For players who have just entered the league, Brandon Roy and Zhou Lin are too quiet, seem a little out of place, and even make people feel a little withdrawn.

Especially Brandon Roy, he was a different person during and after the game.

After a lot of games, he doesn't talk too much, even though he played very well.

He is really low-key. As a man who is about to earn millions of dollars a year, he drives a $3 Dodge Charger. Among many NBA stars, this kind of car is probably not even a toy.

Even Zhou Lin felt that Brandon Roy was indeed low-key.

"Zhou Lin, I hope you like the food I cook."

Brandon Roy's girlfriend Tiana, who is more than five months pregnant, has shown that she is pregnant, but she can still see that she is well-proportioned and tall.

Brandon Roy's home is very simple and comfortable.

"There are very few players like you in the NBA." Zhou Lindao: "After training or games, go home immediately and spend a long time quietly, don't you find it boring?"

"No, because I like playing basketball."

Brandon Roy said: "It's not just because becoming an NBA player can get a high salary, but I really like it. Self-discipline and a good family can also help me improve my competitive level."

Zhou Lin nodded and said, "Indeed."

Brandon Roy said: "I don't regard playing basketball as a job, but as my career, my everything, and I am willing to give everything for it, because on the court, I can find my A sense of presence, I want to play basketball for many years, and after finishing my player career, I will become a good basketball coach, or a basketball-related industry practitioner."

Zhou Lin nodded and said, "A very good idea."

Brandon Roy said: "Aren't you?"

Zhou Lin shrugged and said, "Indeed, I'm not really interested in the clubbing they proposed. I want to do something meaningful to me."

"for example."

Zhou Lin shook his head and said: "I haven't thought about it for the time being. The measurement of the meaning of life is indeed a big problem. At this stage, the NBA is now based on it. But there is one thing, we are the same, we all really like the sport of basketball people."

Brandon Roy said: "I have been a not-so-smart child since I was a child. I have dyslexia, and it is difficult for me to study well, but only basketball has given me enough self-confidence and space to play. Basketball Makes me forget all the flaws in me, and I think my life would suck without basketball."

"Like me too, let's encourage each other."

Zhou Lin tasted the taste of apple pie: "If you like it, go all out."

"After a few years, youth without regrets."

"Come on, two rookies from the Charlotte Hornets."

……

The new NBA season has finally begun in the anticipation of many fans and players.

As a small boss and the general manager of basketball affairs, Jordan also came to the game site and high-fived each other with the team players.

"The sneakers are good, they are great, they will make you play better. It's a pity that you like Chinese shoes."

Zhou Lin's exclusive sneakers of the "Control" series will not be available until at least February next year. Anta is still in the design stage, and they have no precedent for tailoring signature shoes for NBA players, so the progress may be slower than It is expected to be slower.

So Zhou Lin can only wear other brands of shoes first.

Seeing Zhou Lin's JORDAN MELO, Carmelo Anthony's latest signature shoe, Jordan smiled.

Because it was Jordan's discerning eye at the beginning that allowed Anthony to join the Jordan series of players.

Although the signature shoes in the past few years only had a signature and no unique design, but for a rookie, it is lucky enough, and this year Carmelo Anthony is wearing this pair of signature sneakers from the real Melon series , the World Championships have just started.

When Jordan learned that Zhou Lin did not have exclusive shoes to wear, he found Zhou Lin and asked Zhou Lin to choose a few pairs of his Jordan sneakers, while Zhou Lin chose the shoes of Anthony, who was in the same position as him.

Complimenting that the shoes look good is not praising himself!

It was installed again.

Free shoes, Jordan does not suffer.

It's like doing a disguised publicity of Jordan shoes before Anta's income.

After all, there is a huge Chinese market behind Zhou Lin, and the Rockets have made a lot of money in the Chinese market.

Regarding the sales of jerseys for the new season, rookie Zhou Lin ranked first in Charlotte, which has a bad market.

……

2006 11 Month 1 Day.

In the first game of the Charlotte Bobcats, they faced the Indiana Pacers.

Last season, under the background of Reggie Miller's retirement and Artest's departure from the team, O'Neal and Tinsley, the core inside and outside of the team, missed nearly half of the games, but the Pacers still stumbled into the playoffs, and The New Jersey Nets lost six games.

The signings during the offseason did not have any big splashes. Rodney Carter was selected with the 17th pick, and Harrington, who used to play the sixth man in the Pacers, was recovered, and another substitute, Daniels.

The Pacers' team inventory for the new season on TNT, the Pacers are considered to be one of the teams that have regressed in strength.

This was originally a pecking contest.

However, because it was the opening game of the Bobcats' home court, and Zhou Lin and Brandon Roy showed promising potential, it made this game more interesting. More than [-]% of the players appeared in the Charlotte Arena. Attendance.
