"Mr. Lin Yu, you have never had an appearance record since you joined the NBA in the 2004/05 season, and your contract with the Celtics only has the last one and a half seasons left. Do you think you still have a lot of time left in your NBA career?"
The future?"
Lin Yu was sitting in the corner of the locker room of the Celtics training hall, accepting an exclusive interview with Rhea Wexler, a female reporter known for her authenticity.
Rhea's first question was embarrassingly real.
Lin Yu smiled as if he was hiding his embarrassment. In fact, he was hiding the ecstasy in his heart.
Because of Rhea's question, he has been waiting for half a month, and he has also been preparing the answer to this question for half a month.
"As you said, my contract with the Celtics still has one and a half seasons. During this one and a half seasons, anything can happen. I have been working hard, training hard, and waiting hard for a
My opportunity presented itself."
Rhea further asked: "Will hard work definitely lead to results?"
"Efforts may not necessarily lead to results, but if your efforts are high enough, there will definitely be results."
Lin Yu answered very seriously. In his eyes, Leia had gradually fallen into the trap he had set.
"You mean, you work very hard?"
Lin Yu nodded: "That's right."
"Can you tell me in detail?"
“Have you ever seen Boston at four in the morning?”
Lin Yu sat up straight and finally entered the topic.
Leia, who was sitting opposite him, shook her head and continued to look at Lin Yu.
"I have seen Boston at four o'clock in the morning. It was a completely different Boston. It was very cold and quiet. Walking on the street, you could only see the dim street lights and the shadows cast by the street lights."
Lin Yu seemed to be talking about something that had nothing to do with Rhea's question, but then he changed the topic: "The reason why I see Boston at four o'clock in the morning is because every training day, I will
I wake up at three o'clock and set out at four o'clock in the morning to start training for the day."
Rhea was a little surprised: "You start training at four in the morning?"
"I divide each training day into four periods, extra training in the early morning, regular training in the morning, regular training in the afternoon, and extra training in the evening. Only when I start training at four in the morning can I reasonably arrange the four periods.
A training plan for a period of time..."
Rhea jotted down a series of notes on her interview transcript: "Boston at four in the morning..."
[Congratulations: The host successfully stole the message, please enter the system in time to receive the reward. 】
In the locker room, Lin Yu's voice continued, but at this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his ears, loud and loud without any emotion.
From Leia's point of view, Lin Yu's smile seemed to be brighter, but she seemed not to hear the mechanical voice at all, and still continued her exclusive interview with Lin Yu.
Half an hour later, Lin Yu finished answering Leia's last question.
Leia closed her interview script, stood up, and extended her right hand towards Lin Yu.
"Thank you again for accepting my interview, Lin. Many people say that I am a too real reporter and refuse to accept my interview, but you are one of the few basketball players willing to give me the opportunity to be interviewed."
Lin Yu smiled and shook his head. If he really wanted to thank him, I'm afraid he would have to thank Leia in front of him. If it weren't for Leia's exclusive interview, he would not be able to overcome the predicament in front of him.
"You're welcome. I can only say that compared to reporters who like to make lies, I prefer real reporters like you."
After exchanging polite words, Rhea Wexler said goodbye to Lin Yu.
At this time, it was already six o'clock in the evening, and the locker room was quiet. Except for Lin Yu, there was no one else.
Lin Yu continued to sit in the corner of the dressing room and closed his eyes.
In his mind, he seemed to have entered another space, which was also empty. There was only a huge electronic screen in front of him that looked like futuristic technology.
[Welcome to the world of "stealing memes", which is a world related to basketball. If you successfully steal someone else's memes, the system will reward you with a "gift package". ]
["Big Gift Pack": Contains three types of items to reward props that can temporarily and significantly improve oneself, props that can permanently and slightly improve oneself, as well as some extraneous items that have nothing to do with basketball.
Note 1: The rewards you get each time you open the gift package are random and cannot be selected.
Note 2: Depending on the popularity of the meme, the level of the gift package is also different. The higher the level of the gift package, the more generous rewards you can get.】
"Stealing stalks" is a system that Lin Yu got after coming to this world.
Things are a bit complicated to explain, and everything starts from half a month ago.
Half a month ago, Lin Yu was not the Lin Yu of this world. He was a hard-working coder with the same name in 2019. He was oppressed by the big boss and worked overtime day and night, and finally collapsed in front of the computer.
As soon as he closed and opened his eyes, he came to the current world and became another Lin Yu.
Lin Yu in this world, to sum up, he is
A swingman who participated in the NBA draft in 2004 and was selected by the Boston Celtics with the 47th overall pick in the second round, a water cooler keeper who joined the NBA for more than a season but did not have even one minute of playing time, and a
A basketball player who is always compared to Yao Ming by domestic fans, and then turned into a carbon slag.
Lin Yu knew that he had traveled through time and space to a parallel time and space. Compared with his previous life, it seemed that there was only one more Lin Yu who had joined the NBA for no apparent reason. There was no other difference in the parallel time and space.
When he first arrived in this new world, Lin Yu had some ideological struggles, but he still accepted this time-travel that had become a fait accompli.
Because compared with his previous life, Lin Yu's new life has become less difficult.
Although he did not have any playing time in the NBA, his salary of US$780,000 last season was always paid on time. Adding in the money he earned in the CBA and advertising endorsements, Lin Yu already has tens of millions.
He is now a RMB millionaire, and he is also a multi-millionaire in 2005.
Before and after, Lin Yu also had many model girlfriends, all of whom were top-notch.
Not only was this kind of life less miserable, it even gave Lin Yu the feeling of rising from hell to heaven.
After taking over a new identity and a new life in this time and space, Lin Yu discovered the "stealing" system in his mind.
The system description of "Stealing Stealing" is very clear. This is a system that can help Lin Yu improve his personal basketball ability.
After time travel, Lin Yu became a professional basketball player, temporarily playing for the NBA, the highest hall of basketball.
Lin Yu, who has received the entire memory of this time and space, also knows very well that in terms of strength, there is a huge gap between him and those real NBA players.
To use the comments made by many domestic fans against him, Lin Yu joined the NBA relying on the Chinese market of 1.3 billion people behind him.
But this so-called Chinese market has gradually turned into a huge bubble as Lin Yu has no playing time in the NBA.
When his three-year rookie contract ends, this bubble will be ruthlessly burst.
Of course, Lin Yu can choose to return to China for development. Even if the treatment in the CBA is a little worse, it will not be worse than the hard-working 996 in his previous life.
But after Lin Yu slowly assumed his new identity, he became unwilling to do so.
Everyone wants to be the best, and Lin Yu is no exception. What's more, he was also an avid NBA fan.
He doesn't want to leave the NBA in despair and become a laughing stock among domestic fans forever. He even wants to make a difference in the NBA, the highest palace of basketball.
The emergence of the "stealing" system gave Lin Yu great confidence. He got an opportunity to become stronger and saw his future in the NBA.
On the first day after getting the system, Lin Yu searched through the memories of his previous life and came up with two clues that could be stolen.
One is Robert Thackeray's "bench cheerleading" meme, which involves constantly waving towels on the edge of the bench and performing high-spirited performances to attract everyone's attention.
In the past five games, Lin Yu, who was sitting next to the water fountain at the end of the bench, changed from his usual quietness. Every time his teammates scored a wonderful goal, he would suddenly jump up, then wave his towel crazily and make a weird roar.
, and even perform some performances that are very shameful in the eyes of ordinary people.
After five games, the progress of the "bench cheerleader" meme was very slow and could not help Lin Yu break the game.
The other is Kobe Bryant's "Los Angeles at four in the morning" meme. This meme was changed by Lin Yu into "Boston at four in the morning" and the effect is the same.
In the past half month, Lin Yu had gotten up at three in the morning and went out to start training for the day at four in the morning.
He prepared the prerequisites for this meme, and today, with the "help" of Rhea's exclusive interview, the system issued a prompt, and Lin Yu finally successfully completed the meme stealing.
And now, it's time for Lin Yu to receive the reward for "stealing stalks".
[Congratulations: The host has successfully stolen Kobe Bryant's "Los Angeles at four o'clock in the morning" meme, and the system will reward you with a "gift package". 】
The big gift bag that suddenly appeared in the center of the field of vision did not give a strict grade, but Lin Yu noticed that the color of the big gift bag was red, blood red.
【Do you want to open the "gift package" immediately? 】
"Yes" or "No", Lin Yu of course chose "Yes".
The picture in front of me began to shake crazily.
After a moment, golden light flashed, and three small icons appeared in the center of the screen.
Then, the system popped up a prompt.
[Congratulations to the host, you have received a "Peak Kobe Bryant Single Game Experience Card", a "Rookie Kobe Bryant Single Defense Attribute Improvement Card", and a "Sneaker Endorsement Contract with Selectable Brands". ]
After opening them one by one, Lin Yu saw the specific attributes and descriptions of these three rewards.
["Peak Kobe Bryant single-game experience card": After use, the host will receive the bonus of all skills and attributes of peak Kobe Bryant, and the duration is a single game. ]
["Rookie Kobe Bryant single defense attribute improvement card": After use, the host will directly obtain the single defense attribute value of rookie Kobe Bryant (specific value is 86), this effect is permanent. 】
["Optional Brand Sneaker Endorsement Contract": After using it, the host can get a sneaker endorsement contract with the brand of his or her choice. 】
The prop in the first grid is a time-effective prop, the Peak Kobe Bryant Experience Card, which lasts for a single game.
A brief explanation, Lin Yu has regarded this experience card as a seesaw for his turnaround.
The prop in the second box is a permanent prop. It is the defensive attribute of rookie Kobe. This is the capital that helps Lin Yu gain a foothold after he turns over.
The prop in the third box is an "optional brand of sneaker endorsement contract."
Speaking of sneaker endorsement contracts, Lin Yu originally had a personal sneaker contract, which was provided by Nike, the leader in the basketball shoe industry.
But this endorsement contract only lasted for one season because Lin Yu had no playing time in the NBA and he failed to get a contract extension from Nike.
At the beginning of the new season, he could only wear sneakers of different brands and appear next to the water fountain on the bench.
His thoughts suddenly drifted away again, and Lin Yu could only take the initiative to pull himself back from his memories, and then turned his attention to the card in the second frame.
Lin Yu decided to use "Rookie Kobe Bryant's single defense attribute improvement card" directly.
[Are you sure to use the "Rookie Kobe Bryant single defense attribute improvement card"? 】
The interface in front of him jumped, and a selection box of "OK" or "Cancel" popped up. Lin Yu chose "OK".
[The "Rookie Kobe Bryant Single Defense Attribute Improvement Card" has been used successfully. Congratulations to the host, the single defense attribute has been successfully increased to 86 points! 】
After the prompt, Lin Yu put the remaining two props into the system warehouse and then entered the personal information interface.
[Host name: Lin Yu
Height: 197cm
Weight:98kg
Date of birth: April 29, 1982
Position: Shooting guard
Team: Boston Celtics.]
Further down is a huge personal attribute map.
The single defense attribute in the defensive attribute column, the value marked at the back has indeed become 86.
Lin Yu can't quite remember what his previous single defense attributes were. One thing is certain, his previous single defense attributes were definitely not higher than 50 points.
To be precise, before the single defense attributes were improved, except for his free throw attribute which reached 87, all other attributes were below 50 points.
Now, he has another attribute with a value higher than 50 points, a single defense attribute of 86 points.
