Mall page: 30/100. (Insufficient points, not unlocked...)
After typing 'Book of Coaches' and entering the [Basketball Pope Game] page, Lin Bai thought that something good would happen to 'Book of Coaches' because today is New Year's Day.Unexpectedly, after opening it and taking a look, only the points and data changed, and other changes were not significant.

However, the [Mall Page] showed the basic conditions for unlocking, which was a surprise.

As long as the victory points reach 100 points, you can enter the shopping mall and buy skill props for basketball games.

After seeing this information, although Lin Bai was not very satisfied, he felt much more at ease.

However, the speed of accumulating victory points is too slow, only 30 points now, thinking of reaching 100 points, when will it be big?

What's more, in the new year of 2004, the Cleveland Cavaliers' schedule is not good, and the first upcoming opponent is not easy to mess with, and it can even be said to be the overlord of the Eastern Theater - the New Jersey Nets.

In the 2001-02 season and 2002-03 season, the magical Nets reached the NBA Finals for two consecutive years!

Although these two years were the weakest years of the Eastern Conference teams, the Eastern Conference teams had more or less problems, which resulted in the Nets taking advantage of the loopholes.

For example: Larry Bird, the Pacers' meritorious coach, resigned due to physical reasons, the core players left, the old ones were old, and the rookie talents were not fulfilled. The generals of the 76ers were at odds, and the core insiders left the team.The Pistons have just been rebuilt, and the new coach and lineup have not yet adapted.

However, the arena is about winners and losers. Of course, the Eastern Conference teams have various problems. In fact, the New Jersey Nets were not much better in those few years.

1999-00赛季，网队球队打出了31胜51负的垫底战绩，如愿抽到了2000年的选秀大会的状元签。

In the 2000-01 season, Byron Scott coached the Nets for the first time, and his record did not improve. Instead, he had a record of 26 wins and 56 losses, which was worse than last season.

It's just that the luck and vision of the New Jersey Nets are better than other Eastern Conference teams, allowing the Nets, which is aiming to rebuild, to rise quickly.

First of all, the power forward Kenyon Martin, who was selected by the Nets with the No. 2000 pick in [-], was not a parallel import, and played the level of the No. [-] pick.

Then, in 2001, the New Jersey Nets traded with the Rockets with the No. 7 pick in the first round, and got the No. 13 and No. 18 picks in the first round.

Subsequently, the small forward Richard Jefferson, who was selected with the NO.13 pick in the first round, also performed well, even worth the money.

The center Jason Collins, who was selected with the No.18 pick in the first round, is worth the money, making up for the weak link inside.

And in the end, the most important thing among them is that in 2001, the New Jersey Nets took a gamble and made a profit.

The New Jersey Nets exchanged the core of the team for Stephen Marbury, nicknamed 'The Lone Wolf', for Jason Kidd, the core of the Suns.

The two star players have exchanged.

Jason Kidd also performed miraculously in the Nets, proving who is the strongest point guard in the NBA?With three rookies and a glass player, they reached the NBA Finals for two consecutive years, although in the end, they lost to the Lakers with the 'OK combination' and the Spurs with 'GDP' respectively.

However, facing the New Jersey Nets with Jason Kidd, the Cavaliers have a good game, so what a ghost!

Not to mention, after two years of experience in the NBA Finals, Kenyon Martin, Richard Jefferson, and Jason Collins, former rookies, have grown rapidly and become the mainstay of the team. The existence of the big killer.

Fortunately, the New Jersey Nets kept Jason Kidd and took another big adventure, signing Alonzo Mourning for $4 million in four years.

Alonzo Mourning, nicknamed "Big Zuo", participated in the NBA draft in 1992, and the Charlotte Hornets picked it up with the second pick. He averaged 21 points, 10.3 rebounds and 3.47 blocks per game in his rookie season. In the competition for the best rookie of the year, only Lost to the better Shaquille O'Neal.

Subsequently, Alonzo Mourning showed the strength of a super inside star, maintained a data of nearly 8+20 for 10 consecutive years, and was selected as an NBA All-Star 7 times. First-team All-NBA Defensive Team, 1999 and 2000 consecutive two-year block leader...

However, in October 2000, Mourning was found to be suffering from severe kidney disease. In the 10-2000 season, Mourning missed most of the games. In the 01-2002 season, he underwent a kidney transplant operation. He became a free agent in 03 and is now 2003. Year-old, has been struggling with kidney disease for the past three seasons, came to the Nets, how is the comeback status?Can it be restored to the strength of the All-Star players?No one can guarantee it! !
Other competitors are frantically reinforcing, the King's Princeton, the Spurs'GDP', the Timberwolves' 'Three-Headed Monster', the Lakers' 'F4', and what's more, the Mavericks have collected 5 All-Star-level offensive players.

Jason Kidd is rumored to leave the team and sign with the Spurs, etc. In order to keep Jason Kidd, the New Jersey Nets offered a big contract of 6600 million US dollars. In order to appease Jason Kidd’s emotions, they continued to attack For the NBA championship, Quan Stud bet on the iron-blooded center Alonzo Mourning.

As a result, luck ran out and all lost.

Otherwise, this Nets team would be stronger and more difficult to deal with.

In the 03-04 season, Mourning played 12 games, averaging 18 minutes per game, leaving behind an average of 8.0 points and 2.3 rebounds per game. He underwent a kidney transplant again, and his chances of playing this season are already slim.

Regardless of the situation of the Nets, Lin Bai decided to look at his own cards before considering how to deal with the Nets.

Thinking of this, Lin Bai couldn't wait to enter the [Skill Activation Card], and a series of information was displayed.

【Skill Activation Card】

Grade: Grade A

【use or not? 】

Lin Bai hurriedly glanced at the familiar information, and immediately ordered to use the [Skill Activation Card] in the selection box.

Bright heart candy, rainbow fruit, star lottery card, shooting display card.

In the eyelids, the patterns of the four items are constantly flashing. From light to darkness, Lin Bai's heart also lifts up, ups and downs, his eyes follow the rotation of the patterns of the four items, and his mood is like sitting on a roller coaster, thrilling and exciting , ups and downs.

No bright candy, no bright candy, no bright candy...

Lin Bai performed the prayer ceremony silently, with inexplicable anticipation in his heart, and it was time to collect prizes again.

Except Mingxin Candy, you can choose any of the other three items! !

Lin Bai roared in his heart, and the lucky draw was finally over.

"Congratulations to the player, the rainbow fruit has been activated and repaired, thank you for using it!"

"Rainbow fruit?"

Lin Bai saw the pattern of the rainbow fruit, and slowly let go of his raised heart. With a confident smile on his face, he clenched his fists.

I secretly said in my heart: The strongest point guard in the NBA?The New Jersey Nets led by Jason Kidd have the strength to compete for the NBA championship. Let me meet you and weigh your weight. I hope you won't let me down...
