Chapter 59

"Pervert, your performance in this game is really hard to watch. Do you know that you are crazily consuming the trust of your teammates and the coach? Do you know that you missed 22 shots in this game, including three instances of missing six consecutive shots? I don't understand why you insist on scoring over 20 points. Is this some kind of obsession?"

"Aili, I know you're afraid that I'll be kicked out of the NBA, and all the previous efforts will be in vain. But I have my reasons. Maybe as you said, when I made 4 out of 12 shots, I should have stopped. For a rookie, making 4 out of 12 shots and scoring 10 points in a game is already a pretty good performance. But for me, it's not enough. Maybe it's just a matter of luck. You said it yourself, without a sudden surge in luck, I now face NBA B-level or higher defenders, and my shooting percentage won't be higher than 40%. Now, you think that even if I reduce my shot attempts, my shooting percentage will still be around 30% per game. How many games can the head coach and teammates tolerate? They might think I've lost confidence after a couple of low-shooting games, and the result might be even worse than my current crazy shooting to boost my score. At least now, although they are not satisfied with my shooting percentage, they can still see my effort and determination."

In the game against the Miami Heat, Lin Han's shooting was still beautiful, with his shooting posture on the court looking like a series of artworks being continuously replicated. If it weren't for the maddeningly low shooting percentage, Lin Han wouldn't have given any different impression from his previous games. He still had consecutive hits during the game, but the number of consecutive hits was very low. In this game, Lin Han was 7 for 29, missing all six of his first shots, then hitting 4 in a row, followed by missing 8 in a row, then hitting 2 in a row, and finally missing 8 in a row to push his score over 20 points.

According to the probability of missing a Kobe-style fadeaway jump shot, if the first shot is missed, the second shot has a 70% chance of missing, the third shot has a 65% chance, and so on. The probability of missing the eighth shot is 40%, which is still quite high. Lin Han even suspected that if this game didn't have the boost from his previous surge in luck, he might have missed more than 10 consecutive shots, and his final shooting percentage would have been even worse.

Fortunately, the 20% luck surge on November 16th would last for a week, meaning that during this eastern road trip, Lin Han wouldn't have to worry about performing worse than in this game. It must be said that the Kobe-style fadeaway jump shot not only has incredible scoring power but also has incredible ironing power. So now, Lin Han really regrets using up all his 100% luck. Aili said that even if he didn't have a 100% luck surge, maintaining a consistently high luck state theoretically could increase his actual shooting percentage by more than 10% per game, which is not a small number. Just to pursue a short-term frenzy, Lin Han lost long-term stability. Although he regrets it a bit, he doesn't feel it's wrong.

Under the ridicule of the entire nation, Lin Han, eager to prove himself and establish his position in the team, doesn't think he has any other choice.

Now, Lin Han can only hope that the 'Tracy McGrady-style pull-up jump shot' skill, which he spent 3000 points and 6 victory points to learn, is a different style from the Kobe-style fadeaway jump shot.

"Learn Tracy McGrady-style pull-up jump shot"

"Ding, the host meets the card learning conditions, successfully activating the Tracy McGrady-style pull-up jump shot."

It was still the extremely pleasant electronic sound, and after the sound ended, an image of a stylish player wearing the Magic's No. 1 jersey appeared in Lin Han's mind. What surprised Lin Han was that this Magic No. 1 was not Penny Hardaway. Although he was slightly stunned, he quickly recovered, and the Magic No. 1, Tracy McGrady, began to teach him.

Pull-up jump shots from the top of the key with a defender right in front, pull-up jump shots after dribbling and stopping at the 45-degree angles, and pull-up jump shots after a fake move from one or two steps inside the three-point line. The slender and graceful figure of this Magic No. 1 made Lin Han completely absorbed, just like when he learned the Kobe-style fadeaway jump shot.

This is also a 'beautiful' player, Lin Han thought to himself.

After McGrady's teaching ended, Lin Han found that his mind was filled with basketball memories that were not his own. The Tracy McGrady-style pull-up jump shot skill felt like he had been practicing it for years. Lin Han was very confident that he could immediately perform the same pull-up jump shot on the court as McGrady.

This basketball legend system is truly terrifying, Lin Han thought in amazement. In an instant, he felt like he had been infused with the skills of a master, just like in a Jin Yong martial arts novel. It was truly incredible.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for inheriting the legacy of NBA legend Tracy McGrady and successfully learning the Tracy McGrady-style pull-up jump shot."

After the final electronic sound ended, Lin Han looked at the new skill in his skill list.

Skill Name: Tracy McGrady-style pull-up jump shot (Purple A+ level skill)

Skill Level: LV1

Skill Effect: LV1 Tracy McGrady-style pull-up jump shot greatly enhances the visual appeal of pull-up shots and includes the LV1 level 'McGrady Moment' special effect.

LV1 McGrady Moment Special Effect: When there are 35 seconds left in the game and the host's team is trailing by 8 points, the host can activate the LV1 McGrady Moment special effect. After activation, the host's long-range shooting percentage increases by 75%, and overall shooting percentage increases by 50%, lasting until the end of the 35 seconds.

Skill Note: This skill ignores any game intensity and any personal defense in normal state.

"Damn, is this real? I must be seeing things. I must be seeing things. Let me check again. The long-range shooting percentage increases by 75%, and the overall shooting percentage increases by 50%? How is this possible? This means that as long as the team is trailing by 8 points with 35 seconds left, he can become invincible. How is this possible?"

When Lin Han finished reading the skill effect description, he was almost driven mad. Although the conditions to activate the McGrady Moment are quite strict, once activated, it's almost invincible. How is this possible?

"What's so surprising? 35 seconds, 13 points, that's the McGrady Moment."

Seeing Lin Han's shocked and agitated state, Aili rolled her eyes and said, and after she finished speaking, Lin Han was stunned again.

"35 seconds, 13 points? Are you kidding me? Even Jordan couldn't do that." At this point, Lin Han was already trembling, muttering to himself.

"Alright, pervert, don't think too much. This skill is indeed very effective for your current situation. Look, it ignores personal defense. Even if your luck is bad, I think you can maintain a 30% shooting percentage with pull-up three-pointers and a 40% shooting percentage with pull-up mid-range shots. Although it doesn't have the effect of ignoring stamina, making your shots not cost stamina, in the current situation, the shooting percentage is better than the Kobe-style fadeaway jump shot."

"So, don't focus too much on the McGrady Moment special effect. It's hard to activate, and it's not easy to come by."

But at this point, Lin Han, who was completely immersed in his own madness, didn't pay attention to Aili's warnings. For Lin Han, the jealousy and frustration after the game against the Heat had completely disappeared.

"I can really be invincible. I can really be invincible."

After Aili finished speaking, this guy directly roared, causing Aili, who was about to return to her room, to turn around and kick Lin Han in the shin.

"Invincible my ass, you're so annoying."

Aili left without looking back, clearly not wanting to be with this lunatic.

"Hehe, even if 35 seconds is a bit short, it's still invincible. Can't you let me be happy for a moment?"
