After changing careers, I became the number one player in basketball

He looked at Mourning, who was lying on the ground disheveled, as if his head had been pressed and humiliated.

Mutombo let out a hoarse laugh with his pipe-smoking voice: "No wonder you were bullied by Larry Johnson last season. Your fighting skills are at the level of a primary school student, hahaha."

Mourning immediately blushed, and he was very reluctant to mention the fight last season.

"Okay, don't laugh, Dikembe. You are so old, so be careful not to laugh to death!"

Mutombo's face looks like that of a 50-year-old man, so he is often ridiculed by Mourning.

"Holy shit, I'm in the prime of my youth, don't talk nonsense! Do I look like 50 years old? At most, I look like 45!"

Uncle Mu and Mourning began to bicker, and Shea followed coach John Thompson back to his office.

Shea didn't know why the coach needed someone who could wrestle, but whatever.

As long as you seize the opportunity to join the basketball team, Shay can receive the novice gift package!

Soon, Shay sat in the office and filled out some basic information.

The coach also asked Shay to choose his jersey number. It seems that joining the team is serious.

Shay quickly chose the number 69. Don’t ask why it was this number. Anyway, when Shay was excited at the time, the first number that popped into his mind was an artistic number.

Thompson looked at the number that Shay chose and said that you are not a simple boy. You usually watch art videos and art pictorials, right?

"This is your number. It's fine, but it can't be used!"

The NCAA is not like the NBA where you can choose numbers at will. According to the rules of the NCAA, the maximum number you can choose is 55.

And the number cannot contain the four digits 6, 7, 8, and 9.

Helpless, Shay could only choose No. 23.

The number 23 was chosen not because of old rogue Jordan, but because Shay's birthday is on the 23rd.

Now all Shay wants to do is join the team as quickly as possible, and the process can go as fast as he can.

So Shay didn't care about choosing numbers at all, he just chose whatever numbers came into his mind.

A few minutes after he was afraid of the ink, John Thompson suddenly regretted it.

After all the information was finalized, Thompson put away Shay's team entry form and said that Shay could return to the dormitory.

He also asked him to prepare and start training with the team tomorrow!

Shay found it unbelievable that he somehow got into the basketball team of Georgetown University, a famous basketball school, just by relying on his wrestling skills?

But...why?

Thompson seemed to see Shay's doubts, so he smiled: "Do you know why I want you to join?"

Shay shook his head.

"That's right, basketball is a man's sport, and it's a little bit more confrontational.

So, it’s normal to have a fight while playing ball, right?

But fighting is a violation after all. If you fight too much, you will be ejected and suspended.

Last season, the second round of the NCAA March Madness tournament.

We met UNLV (University of Nevada, Las Vegas).

Because the game was quite intense, Mourning had a conflict with UNLV star Larry Johnson in the third quarter.

At that time, the two had a quarrel and pushed each other.

Then, a role player on the opposite side made a move, and Mourning struggled with the opponent.

In the end, both Mourning and the opponent were sent off.

But because the opponent only lost a role player, it had little impact on the game.

And after we lost Mourning, we couldn't open up the situation offensively.

In the end, without Mourning, we lost to UNLV by 1 point and were eliminated.

Do you know what’s the worst thing? UNLV ended up becoming the champion of last season’s March Madness tournament!

And we only lost to them by 1 point!

This means that if Mourning had not been sent off, we might have won.

And if it’s us who advance, then we don’t have no chance of winning!”

At this point, Shay found that John Thompson clenched his fists and became emotional.

It seems that the loss last season was difficult for Thompson to accept.

Also, it is a bit fucked up to miss the opportunity to win the championship because the main players were sent off, and to lose the opportunity to win the championship because of fighting.

Thompson readjusted his emotions and calmed himself down.

Then looked at Shay firmly:

"I searched among the literati and asked them how they could prevent something like this from happening again.

All the answers were surprisingly consistent, which led me to have a fighting expert in the team.

And you are the expert we need.

Just now, you have proven your talent.

From now on, if anyone dares to fight with Mourning and Mutombo on the court, I will throw him down!

If anyone dares to fight with them, go up and knock him down first!

In short, you have to protect them both and let them finish every game safely!"

Good guy, Shay called him good guy after hearing this.

For a long time, I was playing the role of a star bodyguard!

No wonder the coach doesn't care about his rubbish shooting and dribbling, and no wonder the scouts said his wrestling talent can be showcased.

No wonder the coach immediately recruited him as soon as he saw that he had mastered Mourning.

The co-writing team didn’t recruit me to play basketball.

But then again, this was the 1990s. Confrontations on the basketball court were still very rough and brutal.

Even if you are in the NCAA, you can play basketball very well.

It is very common in this era for a team to have a hitter type of player.

I relied on wrestling as a stepping stone to get into the basketball team...so I have many skills but not too much pressure!

Shay nodded. Although it hurt that the coach needed his own reasons, at least Shay had officially joined the team.

Career change successful!

Just after filling out the application form for joining the team, Shay's system already issued a prompt:

“The gift package for newbies has arrived!”

Now Shay just wants to go back quickly and check what is in the novice gift bag.

Although Shea is currently positioned as a bodyguard for a star player.

But if you can make good use of the novice gift package to improve your ability, you will definitely be able to impress the coach through training and competition.

Georgetown is a famous basketball school and attracts the attention of NBA scouts.

If you can become a starter in Georgetown and express yourself next season, then you can enter the NBA and make a lot of money...

Maybe it’s no longer just a fantasy!

After saying goodbye to the coach, Shay rushed back to the dormitory excitedly.

This feeling is like getting the express delivery that you have been dreaming about for a long time, and you just want to go home and unpack it quickly.

Shay lay on the bed and quickly turned on the system and clicked on the novice gift package.

This time, the system finally did not issue any prompts, and Shay successfully opened the package!

A burst of white light flashed, and five player essences came out of the gift bag.

This means that Shay can immediately fire five consecutive shots!

Let’s start krypton!

Xie quickly clicked on the lottery interface and read the description of the lottery function:

"The lottery function is used to draw rewards such as action packs, badges, and star templates. For the first five draws in a row, 75 guaranteed gold quality star templates, badges or action packs will be drawn!"

Shay stood up excitedly, rushed into the toilet and washed his face first.

Humming to the tune of "Good Luck Comes", I clicked on the lottery five times!

Another white light flashed, and several lines of prompts appeared in Shay's field of vision:

Bronze Action Pack, Bronze Badge, Bronze Action Pack, Diamond Magic Johnson Player Template, Bronze Ben Simmons Player Template...

Seeing the words "Diamond Magic Johnson Player Template", Shay clenched his fists excitedly.

Shipped!

I really made a player template of 75 superstars!

But to be honest, Shea is still thinking about picking players he is more familiar with, such as Kobe or James.

Although Magic is the best point guard in history, he is not very good at shooting and his defense is average.

The most important thing is...it's easy to have children!

Anyway, his face is filled with disgust.

But take another look at Ben Simmons’ template...

Magician smells so good!

Determined to have children, Shay clicked on the diamond-level Magic Johnson template.

As an old gamer, Shay knows very well that the quality of diamonds generally represents the highest quality.

The moment he clicked on the template, Shay even thought of the name of his autobiography - "NBA: I am EJ Jiang's Godfather".

After this, Shay finally saw the reward:

“Diamond Magic Johnson Template:

There are 30 opportunities to add points to ball control attributes.

There are 20 opportunities to add points to physical attributes.

There are 15 opportunities to add points to terminal attributes.

There are 10 opportunities to add points to defensive attributes.

There are 5 opportunities to add points to shooting attributes.”

Shea finally understands the role of player templates. Depending on the characteristics of the template players, the opportunities to add points are also different.

The better a template is at something, the more opportunities it will have for initial points!

After watching it, Shay was suddenly a little afraid of the bronze Simmons template.

The Magician template only gives you a chance to add 5 shooting attributes at the beginning.

In this Simmons template, if you don’t have shooting attributes, you’ll have to deduct 5 points, right?

Now that the skill points have been obtained, Shay can't wait to open the attribute interface.

Finally, the attribute interface is no longer gray, and the small plus sign behind each attribute is finally clickable!

The extra points in the beginning are very important, they determine what kind of player Shai will become.

So when adding points this time, you must be careful!
