Invincible krypton gold in basketball - Author: Big Eggplant with Minced Meat
James: The thing I regret the most is not letting the Heat choose Tang Tian!But... I can't say it!I gotta keep my image!
Kobe: In this league, Tang Tian resembles me the most, except for having a daughter!
Durant: No matter how strong Tang Tian is, watch me beat him up on the trumpet!
Brother Antetokounmpo: Tang Tian told me that the future is mine, but this guy is only 2 years older than me!
Tang Tian, the godfather of basketball in the previous life, traveled to the caddy of the University of Connecticut to start a journey of krypton gold.
Chapter 1 Krypton Gold System
"Hey Don, you're late!"
Kemba Walker yelled at Tang Tian, who arrived late, in the basketball training hall of the University of Connecticut.
"Yes, my damn phone is not working again." Tang Tian said bitterly.
"Your damn mobile phone should have been replaced a long time ago. There are problems every three days."
Tang Tian took out his pocket, indicating that he was poor.
"When I enter the NBA, I will definitely buy you a new one." Walker patted his chest and said.
"That's what you said, I remember."
After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Tian started his work, picking up the ball.
He is an international student at the University of Connecticut, but his family conditions are average, and he has not applied for a scholarship, so he works as a ball boy in the basketball hall to work and study.
Although he is a caddy, the players here treat him very well.
"This is a team with a long history and every one of you is a part of that history..."
Head coach Jim Calhoun was there again to mentally educate his players.
The head coach who took over the team in 1970 has been working in UConn for 40 years, from the age of 30 to the age of 70. There is no one more dedicated than him.
Tang Tian looked up at the two championship banners above his head and the retired jerseys hanging on the wall.
Ray Allen, Rudy Gay, Richard Hamilton, Caron Butler, Emeka Okafor...
These are all big names in the NBA.
This is indeed a team with a glorious past, and its popularity in the NCAA is second only to a few super elite schools such as Kentucky and North Carolina.
But that's all in the past. It has been 7 years since Kangda won the championship last time, and even if it entered the quarterfinals, it was two years ago.
This year's team, except for Kemba Walker, is all recruits.
There are rumors that Calhoun will retire this season, but it will be difficult for UConn to win the championship this year.
While Calhoun was lecturing, Tang Tian took a break from his busy schedule and sat on the sidelines to rest.
No one realized that Tang Tian was no longer the original Tang Tian.
Just last night, Tang Tian, who was the godfather of basketball in his previous life, suffered a heart attack after retiring and directly passed through to this foreign student.
Fortunately, this foreign student grew up handsome and strong, and his height of over two meters is very rare among Asians.
He sat for a while, reached out and pulled out the system interface.
Time travel will naturally be accompanied by golden fingers, this is an eternal law.
And the name of the system he traveled through this time is very interesting, it is called the basketball krypton gold system.
Krypton Gold originally refers to the behavior of charging money in the game. This system is named Krypton Gold, which gives people a full taste of money.
And this system really has something to do with money.
In the basketball krypton gold system, how much money the owner earns through basketball-related methods will generate a corresponding krypton gold value in the system mall.
(Note: Money obtained through illegal methods such as stealing, robbing, and cheating are automatically invalidated, and the system needs to maintain full positive energy.)
Krypton gold value can be consumed in the system mall.
This is equivalent to earning a sum of money and spending two sums, which is quite flattering.
For example, if he is paid $20 a day as a caddy, the system will generate a corresponding krypton value of $20.
It's just that the base of $20 is too small to buy anything in the system.
At this time, he looked at the things in the system mall.
There is only one thing in the mall, basketball skills.
Skills are divided into seven levels: white, green, blue, purple, orange, red, and gold. The higher the level, the higher the krypton gold value is required, but the skills that can be exchanged are also more powerful.
Take the golden skill as an example, the body of the big shark (O'Neill): has a body as strong as O'Neill.
This is the absolute top-notch ability, but the krypton gold value required for this skill is 5000 million US dollars.
To put it bluntly, this krypton gold system is a system that allows the owner to become a league superstar, but the premise is that you can make money.
Tang Tian looked at the white skill at this time.
An open three-pointer that only works when there is an open space (Novak), a free throw king that only improves free throws (Calderon), a bounce king that can only take off without confrontation (James White) , The diving actor (Varejao) who can only be used to passively draw fouls...
These are also the weakest compared to other skills.
But the weak are the weak, each of these skills only needs 5 US dollars in krypton gold value!
He took another look at his krypton gold value.
20 dollars, a bit shabby.
Fortunately, the system gave a novice gift pack yesterday, a random skill pack. He was lucky and got a purple-level individual defense (Tony Allen).
Individual defense (Tony Allen): The survival skills of the defensive leader Tony Allen, he can reduce the opponent's shooting rate by 10%, and has a certain chance to steal the opponent.
Defense is the foundation of keeping players on the field, and it looks like a stepping stone at least.
At this moment, there was a sudden scream from the field.
He put away the system and looked up, and then realized that the team's backup center Alexander Forsis had sprained his ankle.
Player sprains are the most common injury in basketball, and he also got up at this time to help him off the court.
"Where did Lavoy Allen go?" Forsyth was helped off the field, and Cajon looked around and asked a little unhappy.
Allen is the team's backup power forward, I don't know why he didn't come today.
"Lavoy is said to be applying for a transfer," Jeremy Lamb, a freshman on the team, said.
"What?!" Mr. Calhoun bristled his beard when he heard it.
Lamb didn't dare to speak anymore. Allen is talented. Seeing that UConn's future is bleak this season, it's only natural for him to leave.
"Damn it!" Calhoun swore.
UConn is really in turmoil this season.
But after scolding, the problem is still not solved.
Kangda has few insiders this season, but now the backup center is injured, and the backup power forward has to run away again.
Let's not talk about where the team will find new players later, even the full-court confrontation training in front of them can't be played.
"Why don't you just come here today?" said assistant coach Kevin Ollie, who is Cajon's designated successor.
"No, how long have you been practicing?" Calhoun was a little stubborn.
This time, no one spoke at all.
The old man wants to continue training, but there are not enough people in this arena, or should a guard go up and down?
That's no training effect!
After being silent for a while, Walker suddenly looked at Tang Tian who was spraying Forces there.
"Would you like to try Don?"
When Walker opened his mouth, Ollie immediately rolled his eyes.
Tang Tian is two meters tall, so he is tall enough, but Walker can figure it out by letting the caddy go up to push him up.
Although they have a good relationship in private, caddies are not at the same level as NCAA players.
"Tang has been training with us all the time. Physical fitness is not a problem, and he is very smart. Anyway, the substitute team is mainly running around. It's okay to try?" Walker continued.
"Tang, come here." Ollie wanted to say something, but Calhoun beckoned to Tang Tian directly.
"You are as good as Forces, is there a problem?" The old man asked directly enough, but he didn't seem to have too much expectation.
"No problem." Tang Tian replied without hesitation.
If he wants to get krypton gold value, it means that he has to make money. At this stage, there is no faster way to make money than getting a scholarship.
Chapter 2 Is he really just a caddy?
There are several kinds of scholarships in the United States. There are academic scholarships for undergraduates and graduate students. Those who failed to apply for this body before are full undergraduate scholarships.
However, in addition to the academic type, each school also has a certain amount of sports scholarships every year, which is relatively small.
According to official statistics, less than 2% of high school students in the United States can receive sports scholarships each year, and even for NCAA Division I athletes, this percentage is only 56%.
And there are only six NCAA Division I scholarships: men's football, men's basketball, women's basketball, women's volleyball, women's tennis and women's gymnastics.
For men's basketball, there are only 13 full scholarships for each school each year, including possible Sequoia players.
The NCAA is different from the professional leagues. There is no upper limit on the number of players on the roster, but basically a team will have between 10 and 15 players.
It seems that basically everyone has a share, but the premise is that you have to get into the team, the NCAA Division I league, and the difficulty of entering is not much different from the NBA.
This question from Mr. Kahong was the opportunity Tang Tian had been waiting for.
Kahoun didn't expect Tang Tian to answer so quickly, and unconsciously froze for a moment.
"I have been with the team for more than half a year, and I have basically memorized the tactics, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Seeing the old man's reaction, Tang Tian explained.
Calhoun nodded after listening, and stretched out his hand to signal the training to continue.
Ollie shook his head helplessly.
Kangda, in this turbulent period, you are going to be a caddy!
Walker and Tang Tian smiled and clapped hands, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good.
The full-court confrontation was a confrontation between the main force and the substitute, with Tang Tian replacing Forses and the center forward of the substitute team.
When he came on the court, he observed the lineups of both sides.
Walker was a junior, Alex Oriachi was a sophomore, and the remaining seven were all freshmen.
However, among these freshmen, there are also a few who can enter the NBA in the future, like Shabatz Napier and Jeremy Lamb, but this is also the future, and their faces are full of immature colors now.
The training game continued, and Walker broke through Napier in the frontcourt and scored a jumper with an emergency stop.
As the boss of the team, he is teaching Napier, a rookie.
"Closer, don't give your opponent so much space!" Ollie yelled at Napier from the sidelines.
Cajon stood on the sidelines and bide his time when he was old, and most of the lectures had been handed over to his successor.
Napier was a little anxious after being yelled at, and went to the frontcourt and directly took the ball and drove Walker to the basket.
His speed and confrontation are good, he squeezed past Walker, but his shot was relatively reluctant, and he directly took a big risk from Oriachi.
Ollie spread his hands helplessly on the sidelines. This is the current strength of Kangda.
The offense from the sideline ball from the substitute team still failed to score. Walker advanced to the frontcourt and did not hit Napier again. This is to save face for the younger brother.
The ball transitions into Lamb's hands.
Lamb is a standard lanky swingman. He is the most talented player among the high school recruits of UConn this year. He has a sharp breakthrough, stable shooting, excellent rebounds, and his defense is also in the forefront of the NCAA.
