NBA: Start with a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar template card

Chapter 8 Badge Upgrade
Chen Xiao didn't bother to bother with the system, and went directly to the badge page.

There are still two solitary badges-skyhook (copper) and frame guard elite (copper).

Do you choose to draw a new badge or upgrade the existing badge level?
According to the information fed back by the previous system and referring to the Atlantic Coast League's competition arrangement, before the March Madness Championship, the games in the league are divided into regular season and playoffs.

Then before the end of the Atlantic Coast League regular season, it is very likely that there will be no new lottery promotion opportunities.

First of all, drawing a new badge is excluded. Although drawing cards is cool for a while, drawing cards is always cool, but the uncertainty is still too strong. Compared with drawing a new badge that is not suitable or temporarily unable to function, it is better to use the opportunity to strengthen existing practical badges.

Compared with the existing badges, it is obvious that one focuses on offense and the other focuses on defense.

Although defense wins the championship, it is obvious that offense is the most eye-catching part. The goal of NCAA players is to enter the NBA, gain greater exposure and gain more recognition within the limited college time. Naturally, they must show their abilities and selling points as much as possible.A stronger offense is obviously more cost-effective.

What's more, Chen Xiao's defensive ability-internal defense and blocks are around 85, which is an excellent level even in the NBA, but it is enough in the NCAA. Even if he has a stronger ability to protect the frame, improve his blocking ability and matchup defense ability, it may not be able to perform on the court performance and personal data.

This seems to be more utilitarian. If the fans knew about Chen Xiao’s idea, they might accuse Chen Xiao, “You consider whether you want to improve your defensive ability because you are optimistic about whether you can improve your stats?”

Chen Xiao wants to rule the court and collect data.

Just as many players are called "with effects that cannot be reflected in statistics", Chen Xiao prefers to be evaluated as "amazing statistics and impeccable performance".

The most important thing is that Chen Xiao owns the "Sky Hook" badge which is a fusion and upgrade of "Sky Hook Action Pack" and "Hook Master". Obviously, this badge is much more special than "Frame Guard Elite".

"If you don't upgrade the special badge, what should you do if the price of the special badge upgrade opportunity increases in the future?"

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xiao finally chose to use the upgrade opportunity on the "Sky Hook" badge.

There was a bang, as if the patina had been peeled off, resembling the badge of a pirate's hook hand, and its original dark copper color gradually turned to bright silver.

Chen Xiao attached his thoughts to the badge to show:
"Sky Hook (Silver)": Slightly improve the feel of the hook, slightly improve the balance of the body when hooking, and slightly reduce the negative impact of space distance on the hook.

The specific effect of the badge has not changed, and it is still the same as the original three special effects when it was synthesized, but there has been a slight to a small quantitative change.

Chen Xiao was a little disappointed, probably because of the qualitative change in special effects from "Hook Master" to "Sky Hook" that changed from 1 to 3, which made him a little dissatisfied with the mere quantitative change in the badge from copper to silver.

Shaking his head, Chen Xiao threw out the thought of dissatisfaction, the lack of human heart, let's be content and happy.

Waiting for the next training, I will find Wupuer and Meierpu (Miles Plumlee) to practice. They are both people who are about to participate in the draft. It is impossible to not have the ability to prevent hooks. You have to exercise hard.

Just as Chen Xiao was "making" a training plan for the Plumlee brothers, the system that had become normal sent a reminder:

Restricted by the template owned by the host—Karim Abdul-Jabbar (84 years) (incomplete), the "Skyhook" badge has reached the highest level.

Lying, how can you think that with Tiangou's own ability, he can't only get the silver badge, so this (incomplete body) is just waiting here.Chen Xiao slandered.

After the game, it was still a training day. The training schedule that Old K made for the Blue Devils was always so strict. Chen Xiao drove his old Ford, enjoying the sunshine in late autumn. Through the car window, he saw many students wearing blue No. 13 Duke jerseys along the way.

Entering the arena, I saw the doorman Carl looking down at a local newspaper. The page that was spread out was the moment when Chen Xiao dunked on tiptoe.

The mood of the day was brightened by the scenery along the way, and the idea of ​​"training" the Plumlee brothers to defend was gradually extinguished.

It is not easy for the two brothers. If there is no Chen Xiao, the two brothers can work together to guard the inside line and get more opportunities to play.Chen Xiao thought to himself, in the future, he should perform well in the arena, and send the two brothers together on the arena as soon as possible.

The Plumlee brothers were training in full swing when suddenly a chill came down their spine.Turning around, all he saw was Chen Xiao with a kind smile on his face.

In the free training session, Chen Xiao started to catch the ball and perform hooks from close to the basket. With the rhythm of the net touching the ball, Chen Xiao received the ball farther and farther away from the basket, and finally stepped on the three-point line before stopping.

After testing, Chen Xiao found that although the silver "skyhook" badge was not a qualitative change, the "quantitative change" was really quite large.

From near the penalty area line on both sides of the basket, when Chen Xiao turned over and raised the ball to hook the ball, his sense of space at the basket position improved significantly.At a position about 2 meters away from the basket, Chen Xiao can basically hit a hundred shots without interference.

Even if he took another step outside, at the short corner, or one step inside the free throw line directly in front of the basket, he could catch the ball and shoot directly. Chen Xiao could stably hit more than 10 balls out of 8.

Extending the distance further, it is not impossible for the current Chen Xiao to shoot, but if it is on the court, it is difficult to maintain a high efficiency. After all, the hook is only a means of offense, and it is mostly used in the low position near the basket. It is too mechanical to use the hook in any position-I am talking about you, the "mechanical" and "mechanical" Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Of course, after the back hook shot and mid-range shooting attributes have been improved, and with a more dazzling badge, maybe Chen Xiao will be able to include mid-range and long-range hooks into his regular arsenal.

Practice, match, practice, match.Days always fly by with sweat.

In a blink of an eye, it was Chen Xiao's first Christmas after coming to Duke.

This Christmas, Chen Xiao originally planned to watch the NBA's Christmas game of the new season and the opening game of the new season on the 42-inch LCD small color TV in the players' entertainment room in the dormitory building.

In the past offseason, the relationship between NBA labor and management broke down, which led to the fourth lockout in league history.

在11月底，球员与资方终于达成一致。2011-2012赛季将于12月25日圣诞节正式开始。

Although Chen Xiao has been in the United States for several months, he has not actually watched an NBA game.
