I’m Really Playing Basketball

Chapter 80 The 2002 NBA Draft Lottery

6 career points, 3 official game scoring experience cards, 3 C-level attribute potential cards, 4 cm in height and 4 cm in wingspan, some basketball experience, and some professional skill points.

Chen Xiao once again sorted out the rewards for swiping the screen after the game with Duke University, and nodded in satisfaction.

"I have to say that the rewards for winning the championship are really rich!"

Wins, stats, championships, all can be rewarded from the system.

But to say which reward is the best, there is no doubt that it is the champion.

The NCAA National Championship is an event that is systematically evaluated as a C-level event. A champion of a C-level event can earn 2 career points, 1,000 basketball experience and career points.

So what kind of reward would a B-level or even A-level champion be given?

This is only the reward of the championship trophy itself, and it does not count the rewards that are selected for individual awards after winning the championship.

For example, this time, after winning the NCAA championship, the NCAA officially awarded him the MOP, the best rookie, in exchange for three C-level attribute potential cards for him.

Props: C-level potential card

Function: Increase the potential of less than B-level (80) attributes by five points.

This is super good super good stuff!

Three C-level potential cards can increase the potential of one of Chen Xiao's 70 potential attributes to 80.

At the same time, it also increases an attribute with a potential of 70 to 75!

If these three C-level potential cards are used well, Chen Xiao's strength can continue to rise a lot!

Of course, these three C-level potential cards are very precious, Chen Xiao didn't use them immediately, and naturally he doesn't plan to use them now.

Although Chen Xiao is still a beginner who has not yet completed his enlightenment, he is no longer a basketball rookie.

He is not sure whether these three potential cards are used to improve his strength or to improve his draft pick.

The meaning of improving strength is easy to understand.

For example, around the CIC, which is his strongest attribute, he added crazy points to the subsidiary attributes, all in order to better use the CIC in the game.

To improve one's draft pick, it is natural to use these three attribute potential cards on attributes that scouts or NBA experts believe can represent player talent, such as speed, jumping and other attributes.

These attributes are also very important, but improving these attributes now does not give him enough strength.

"So, is it important to improve strength or improve talent?"

In the case of limited capital, it is necessary to live on a budget.

Chen Xiao felt that he had always been a very budget-conscious person.

After all, his background taught him to crush even a dollar, not to mention these things that are more precious than dollars.

Name: Xiao Chen

Age: 19

Height: 1.97 meters

Armspan: 2 meters 09

Weight: 86 kg

Occupation: Basketball player

Occupation level: LV24 (15550/17450)

Remaining career points: 8

Basketball experience: 36000

Basketball skills: none

Props: 3 C-level attribute potential cards, 14 scoring experience cards (official game), 2 stealing experience cards (official game), 5 backcourt rebounding experience cards (official game), hidden training props.

Therefore, after receiving these rewards, Chen Xiao kept all of them and did not use them.

Of course, he can't keep some things that can only be used immediately.

For example, his height and wingspan, after the game, his height increased by 4 cm overnight, which still caused a burst of exclamation from the team.

Chen Xiao was delighted to see those envious little eyes.

If he was a basketball rookie before and didn't know the importance of height and wingspan, then now he knows it all too well.

If it weren't for his height and wingspan, which could suppress Jay Williams and other Duke University guards, Chen Xiao's performance would definitely be greatly reduced.

Chen Xiao didn't know how high he would be added by the system, and Chen Xiao felt that it wouldn't keep adding points.

"I always feel that as long as I reach a certain achievement node, the system is helping me to make up for my shortcomings. Maybe after the system has made up for my shortcomings, I can't continue to add?"

This was Chen Xiao's guess, and he didn't know if it was right or not. To him, he still didn't know much about this system that he had only acquired for a year.

Because all the rewards were kept and no points were added, Chen Xiao's attributes basically remained unchanged.

Why basically?

Because in these days without Wade and Ron Howard, Chen Xiao had another attribute awakened by him.

personal attributes

Speed: 70+ (70)

Explosive power: 85+

Bounce: 70+ (70)

Flexible: 70+ (70)

Balance: 60+ (60)

Stamina: 70+ (70)

CIC: 90

Three points: 70 (70)

Steals: 65+ (65)

Marking: 70+ (70)

Evaluation: C+ (player with rough skills, qualified single-defense ability, certain three-point shooting ability, excellent explosive power, and outstanding mid-range shooting ability.)

Chen Xiao's three-point shooting ability has awakened.

These days, Chen Xiao has been training in the team's training hall, plus training the team's young people.

Although there are no two brothers, Wade and Ron Howard, and two minions, Dina and Braxon, Chen Xiao will receive another younger brother among the team's rookies next season.

The 57th four-star high school student in the United States in 2002, the 2002 Mr. Basketball in Wisconsin, Steve Novak.

This guy's three-pointer is really quite amazing.

Chen Xiao's younger brother Dina is also a very good three-pointer, but Chen Xiao feels that Dina's three-pointer is not as good as Novak's.

why?

Diana taught him three-pointers for so long. Although he didn't specifically enlighten him on three-pointers, the big breasts didn't let him complete the three-pointer enlightenment for him for so long.

But Novak was different. After learning three-pointers from him for more than a week, Chen Xiao's three-pointers completed the enlightenment.

Of course, this is also related to the foundation that Diana laid for him before, and at the same time, it is also related to his recent special enlightenment of the three-point attribute.

After playing the NCAA National Championships, what Chen Xiao felt the most was that it was getting more and more difficult for him to catch the ball!

Not only because his confrontation ability and ball receiving ability are not enlightened, but also at an amateur level.

Also because his attack area is too single!

Just those few mid-range shots, that's too easy to defend.

No matter how he runs, as long as the opponent keeps those few mid-range shots, it will be useless no matter how much he runs.

If he goes to the NBA in the future and the strength of defensive players improves in an all-round way, he may really not be able to catch the ball.

Chen Xiao urgently needed another offensive method that would allow him to expand his threat.

With his CIC foundation, three-pointers are of course the best choice.

Originally, Chen Xiao was going to spend a month to enlighten the three-pointer. Unexpectedly, Novak helped him complete the three-pointer enlightenment in a week.

Moreover, Chen Xiao felt that Novak's three-pointer was better than Dina's. Another reason was that Novak was unguarded during training, with an open three-pointer, and he scored 50 consecutive three-pointers in front of Chen Xiao!

Moreover, this is not the NCAA three-point line, but the NBA three-point line!

This really shocked Chen Ling into a heavenly man!

"etc!"

"Dina and the others couldn't help me enlighten the three-pointer. Couldn't it be because they themselves don't know how to shoot the NBA's three-point line?!"

"The system's three-point attribute judgment is the NBA's three-point line!"

The more Chen Xiao thought about it, the more possible it became!

Novak taught him all three-pointers from the NBA three-point line!

And what Diener taught him was the 3-pointer of the NCAA's three-point line!

"This Steve, it's really okay!"

Steve Novak helped him enlighten the three-point attribute, and Chen Xiao certainly wouldn't let Novak suffer.

Anyway, he kept those steal cards or breakthrough cards for training, so he might as well use them to correct his new recruit's 'dribbling' and 'defense' habits.

I have to say that Novak's dribbling and defensive habits are really bad.

If it wasn't for Novak being able to receive a lot of three-point related training tasks from Novak, which allowed him to get a lot of three-point experience cards for training, he would have really suffered a blood loss.

Of course, what Chen Xiao didn't know was that what he gained from Stefan Novak was far more than just those three-point experience cards for training.

In addition, there is Novak's heart of shock and admiration...

Without Wade and Ron Howard, Chen Xiao lived a very strange life.

It feels like the whole world has slowed down.

He is a young boy who just feels that life is passing by an old man.

"Since I came to the United States, Xiaotai and Luo Ge have been by my side. It feels so strange that I don't have them by my side now."

In the training hall of Marquette University, Chen Xiao began to sigh and think of his two brothers again.

Wade managed to reunite with his wife and children, and couldn't come back within a month.

Ron Howard almost ran away from home for basketball. Although his family has now recognized his dream, he needs to make up for the damage caused to his family in Chicago over the past few years.

One is to accompany his wife and children, and the other is to accompany his parents and relatives...

"Anyway, you don't want me!"

Chen Xiao threw the basketballs in his hand into the basket one by one, while the new players from Marquette University who were picking up the ball and Novak who was standing on the side of Lu were all dumbfounded.

A week ago, he was still a rookie outside the three-point line in the NBA, but now, in just one week, he has become the strongest three-point shooter in the NBA outside the three-point line besides Novak in the training hall!

You know, those Marquette University new players who followed Novak to learn NBA three-pointers with Chen Xiao, have not even gotten started yet!

"Is this the incredible learning talent of Wonder Boy?!"

"God is indeed fair. He has given him such an incredible learning ability. If he is given enough outstanding basketball talent, it will not be against the sky!"

At this moment, Chen Xiao, who was practicing three-pointers, was unaware of the shock around him.

The attributes of the system are attributes, and practice is still needed. The attributes are internal forces and cores, and Chen Xiao still needs the skills to use these internal forces and cores.

Time passed very slowly without Wade and Ron Howard.

But life goes on, with training and TV.

Without the task of the game, Chen Xiao will not let go of his attention to the NBA, not to mention the situation of the NBA this season will determine his future.

After a season of fighting in the regular season, the NBA's regular season ended on April 17.

His favorite Lakers finally played at home and defeated most of the main rotation Kings, winning a meaningless victory.

As a team that has won two consecutive championships and is preparing to hit the dynasty, the Lakers have had a really miserable season this season!

As for why it is so miserable, I won't say much, it's all tears.

Chen Xiao always feels that maybe this season is the time for his favorite NBA team to come to an end.

This team really looks like it can't survive now.

In addition to the Lakers, there are still a few miserable teams in the NBA this season.

For example, the boss's injury relapsed, the Heat whose head coach and general manager resigned tearfully, and the Rockets whose head coach had terminal cancer.

However, although these two teams seem to be 'disabled', their wills are quite firm.

These two teams are mixed like this, and in the end they are still strong for the NBA, and they have completed the task of the entire season in a "respectable" way, although neither team has entered the playoffs in the end.

Time is passing day by day, the NBA regular season is over, and the playoffs are also in full swing.

In the first round of the playoffs, the powerful 76ers in the Eastern Conference who also reached the finals last year were eliminated by the Celtics in the first round under the leadership of Iverson.

Seeing that the 76ers were eliminated in the first round, Chen Xiao had mixed feelings. Although he liked the Lakers, he also had a good impression of Iverson.

Kobe, Iverson, Carter, McGrady of the Magic, he likes them all.

It's not that he is superficial. As a beginner in basketball, he has the pursuit of beautiful things, right?

It's really miserable to say that, among the four NBA outsiders he likes, all three players were eliminated in the first round, and Kobe was the only one left in the end.

To Chen Xiao's surprise, the Lakers, who thought they would leave, unexpectedly swept the Blazers without bloodshed in the first and second rounds, and the gentleman swept the Spurs.

Especially when the gentleman swept the Spurs, Chen Xiao was very excited.

Ao Pang was humiliated a little by Duncan, this is one of them!

Kobe showed off his might and rubbed his spurs on the ground, making him invincible!

"If the Lakers win the championship again this year, our team will be crowned king!"

The FMVP and the Lakers boss will all be in the bag!

The civil strife of the Lakers will be completely subsided because of the birth of the new king!

After watching the series between the Lakers and the Spurs, every Comey seemed to have had chicken blood.

However, soon, with the arrival of May 19, 2002, Chen Xiao had to look away from the NBA playoffs.

Because, on this day, the 2002 NBA Draft lottery will take place.

The end of the NBA draft lottery every year means the start of the draft war.

It's not just Chen Xiao, even Wade who is with his wife and children, Ron Howard with his parents, Dina and Braxon who are hot with their sisters, Jay Williams who is complaining, and a big man thousands of miles away. , everyone is paying attention to this matter at this time.

Among them, Chen Xiao, Wade, and Ron Howard were invited by NBA officials to watch the draft lottery.

"Xiaotai, are you nervous?"

"No, don't be nervous, the Bulls must be the No. 1 pick!"

"..."

Chen Ling felt that he didn't need to speak, as long as he kept staring at Wade's hands, Wade could be shy because of what he just said.

Both hands are shaking!

While Chen Xiao was 'molesting' Wade, David Stern was frowning as he looked at the latest prediction statistics of the 2002 rookie pick in the backstage of the draft lottery.

"President, so far, there are a total of 17 forecasting agencies, 10 of which predict that Jay Williams will be the No. 1 pick, and Wade will be the No. 1 pick."

"This is the current forecast. After the draft lottery of each team is over and the training camp is open, the draft forecast will change."

After listening to the assistant's words, David Stern nodded slightly.

In other words, so far, the Heat need the No. 1 pick if they want to get Jay Williams.

The Rockets want Yao Ming, maybe only the third pick?

Thinking of this, David Stern has already made a decision.

"In the 2002 NBA draft lottery, the team that won the first pick in the first round of the 2002 NBA draft was the Miami Heat!"

When David Stern revealed the biggest mystery tonight, Chen Xiao, who was in the conference, was shocked by the atmosphere of sadness and joy in the conference.

Drawing lots on behalf of the Heat, the frail Mourning cried with excitement.

Drawing lots on behalf of the Rockets, Francis, who was full of confidence, was dumbfounded.

One of the two representatives of this rookie class, Duke University's super guard Jay Williams laughed on the spot.

And the other of the two representatives, Marquette University's super guard Dwyane Wade has been stunned.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely weird for a while.

On the other side of the ocean, a 2.26-meter tall man also frowned...
