Chapter 2 Nickname: Stone

"how is this possible?"

The black teenager can't believe it, is that the unresponsive dumb rock?
"No! I wasn't serious just now, I will definitely do it next round."

The black boy said immediately.

He felt that he had underestimated the enemy.

As long as he goes all out, he can still kill the stupid rock and take away $5.

The rest of the black teenagers onlookers were booing, they also want to get 5 dollars.

Li Lei smiled.

Just now, the system responded again.

"Reaction +1."

"Bloody hat proficiency +1."

It turns out that I need actual combat in order to continue to improve.

"It's up to you, go on!"

Li Lei couldn't wait, didn't change, just wanted to continue to the next round.

serve.

The black boy was extra serious this time, and he assumed a three-threat posture.

False shot, fake shot, real shot.

breakthrough.

Pull back, change direction and break through.

Pull it back again, change direction for the second time, and accelerate the breakthrough.

The black teenager's continuous technical movements are very proficient, and the basketball seems to grow in his hands.

There is no doubt that this basic skill has been practiced hard.

But the black teenager failed to get rid of Li Lei.

Li Lei paid all his attention and reacted quickly, so he was not fooled by the black boy.

Instead, it was the black boy who bumped into Li Lei.

Li Lei's strength is only 40, which is the level of an amateur athlete, but his body is larger than that of the black boy, and he has an advantage in confrontation.

After the confrontation, the black teenager even lost the ball.

In the second round, he failed again.

And Li Lei, reaction +1, reached 52.

The black boy refused to admit defeat and continued to challenge Li Lei.

In the end, he successfully...was defended by Li Lei for ten rounds and failed to score.

Three blocked shots, two post-confrontation turnovers, two steals, and three forced misses.

The rest kept booing, and the black teenager was finally forced to give up the challenge and replace him with another person.

However, the next person didn't take the $5 either.

Until the end, a small man of 173cm succeeded.

His speed is too fast, Li Lei's reaction speed can keep up, but his lateral movement speed can't keep up. He watched the little man rush to the basket and lick the basket to score.

The little man took $5, but Li Lei didn't regret it.

His panel is updated again:

Strength is 40, speed is 30, stamina is 30, reaction speed is 58, explosive power is 28, and balance is 30.

The average is 36.

Skill: Bloody Big Hat (primary 8/100, when the opponent makes a shooting action in front of the host, the host temporarily increases the reaction speed by 10%, the strength by 10%, and the explosive power by 10%).

But after the reaction reached 58, it stopped moving again.

What made Li Lei even more excited was that the system started a new training that night.

Suicide switchback run.

This is the most basic training for basketball players, and it is also the training method they fear most.

Run from one end of the court (the baseline) to the other, in a full sprint, and return the same way.

It trains not only endurance, but also speed and explosive power.

These are Li Lei's weaknesses.

The scary thing is that in the system space, there will be a wall of fire chasing after him. Once Li Lei slows down, he will be swallowed by the fire immediately.

There is no real death in system space, but the pain is multiplied.

Every time he was engulfed by the fire, Li Lei would despair, wishing he could escape the system space directly.

But he persisted.

After one night, Li Lei woke up from his dream.

"The host trained through the first suicide switchback run."

"Speed ​​+1, stamina +1, explosive power +1."

Li Lei maintained his original life, learning a skill in the back kitchen of a restaurant.

But after closing at night, he would still go to the basketball court and bet with $5.

But he improved the rules.

In five rounds, Li Lei defended and the challenger attacked. He could score three goals to get $5.

The difficulty has increased, but more people have come.

"On the basketball court at the corner of Chinatown, there is a Chinese with a lot of stupid money, who comes to give money every night!"

No one can refuse such a good thing.

$5 isn't much, but it can buy days of food for a poor family.

For several nights in a row, Li Lei's money was won away.

His physical fitness is close to that of an amateur athlete, very strong.

But I have to admit that there are more and stronger basketball masters on the streets of the United States.

until a week later.

Li Lei's physical fitness has reached the level of amateur athletes.

Strength is 40, speed is 38, stamina is 38, reaction speed is 58, explosive power is 36, and balance is 30.

The average is 40.

"Congratulations to the host for reaching the level of an amateur athlete and learning a new skill: precise stealing."

When the host steals, the chance of fouling is reduced by 10%, and the probability of successful stealing is increased by 10%.

Since then, it has been difficult for ordinary people to score a goal in front of Li Lei.

Only a few well-known amateur athletes can take the $5.

Of course, what these people care about is not $5, but the challenge.

Li Lei has become a well-known basketball player in a few blocks around Chinatown.

No one calls him Stupid Stone anymore.

It's Stone (stone, transliteration Stone), a real stone, a defender who can cause great trouble to the attacker.

Community coach Mark Ray also came here especially, and wanted to invite Li Lei to join the community basketball team.

Li Lei refused.

It's not to slap Markley in the face, let me say that you loved and ignored me back then, but now you can't afford me.

It's just that Li Lei no longer looks down on the community basketball team.

Li Lei's refusal was very polite and tactful, and did not embarrass Coach Mark Ray.

Maclay even praised Li Lei as a gentleman.

……

Another month has passed.

During this period, the system opened three new training courses.

Specialized strength training and speed training, balance training.

Strength is Li Lei's strength, and it has improved very fast, even reaching 62.

Li Lei's data has improved in an all-round way:
Strength is 62, speed is 50, stamina is 44, reaction speed is 58, explosive power is 36, and balance is 50.

The average is 50.

This is the level of professional athletes.

And the system presents a third skill: Cowhide Candy Defense.

When the host sticks to the opponent, the opponent will feel oppressed, the probability of mistakes will increase by 10%, the speed will be reduced by 10%, and the shooting percentage will be reduced by 10%.

From this day on, no street player can take away $5 from Li Lei.

But just like that, Li Lei became more famous, and more masters came to challenge him.

What these people care about is not $5, but honor.

Unfortunately, no one can do it.

Meanwhile, the system once again stalled.

Without new training, Li Lei's panel data will no longer improve.

The proficiency of only three skills is slowly and steadily improving.

Li Lei was not in a hurry either.

Busy in restaurants during the day.

Take up the challenge at the nearby basketball court in the evening.

Continue to receive various training in dreams at night.

Stone's reputation in Chinatown is growing, coupled with his unique rules: no bullfighting, pure defense, and countless streetball masters are famous.

There are even street players from neighboring states who drive for hours to challenge.

But no one can take away the $5 from Li Lei's hand.

Until the end of April, a black player appeared.
