Who to choose? Who should I choose? Aili, can you give me a hint? Hey, don't turn your head away, you bastard.
Looking at this long list of names, Lin Han had no idea how to choose. His heart was in agony, wasn't it! Moreover, Aili, this unscrupulous person, actually pretended not to see him. What was going on?
For Lin Han, the skill he most wanted now was naturally about ball-handling and defense. He had already played 13 games in the NBA, but he had never entered the paint, not even a dunk, a layup, or a ball-handling breakthrough. He was either taking mid-range shots or three-pointers. Although these shots were beautiful and the fans loved them, some media had already started to mock him as a soft egg who dared not enter the paint, a shooting machine, and an unworthy successor to Jordan. Jordan wasn't like that.
Although his ball-handling was already quite good, he couldn't combine it with speed and explosiveness, so it had no offensive power and could only be considered ball protection. Lin Han had always wanted a breakthrough skill that could combine speed and explosiveness. This skill would help him get rid of the media's mockery and also help him stand firm in the Jazz. After all, the player with the strongest breakthrough ability in the current Jazz team was Malone, Karl Malone. This showed that the team's breakthrough ability was even more lacking than its three-point shooting. If Lin Han now had a strong breakthrough ability, his status would be even more solid.
Moreover, due to his own recklessness, his character value was now at a very low level. His mid-range shooting skill had a very low hit rate. If he had a skill to break through to the basket for a layup, he wouldn't be affected by his character value.
Character value mainly affected the shooting aspect, especially those shots that could go in or not. If you had good character, even shots that bounced around the rim or hit the rim and soared high could go in, with a significant increase in hit rate. If you had bad character, these shots would mostly not go in, unless they were sure shots.
Therefore, Aili said that character value was extremely harmful to players who only shot. However, for true superstars, their offensive methods were diverse. Even if their shooting touch was poor, they could find other ways to score. Aili once gave two examples: one was a player named Kevin Durant, who, no matter how many misses he had at the beginning, would always end up with a shooting percentage around 50% by the end of the game. The other was a player named LeBron James, who, after missing two shots, would immediately break through. As an outside player, he could have a shooting percentage over 55% in a single season.
Therefore, Lin Han naturally wanted a breakthrough skill. After all, his current ball-handling ability was 15, which was not bad at all. He could have this ambition. However, with so many player names and no introductions, how could Lin Han choose? Apart from the players he was slightly familiar with, he hadn't even heard of most of the players' names.
"Chicken, can you stop looking at me with that gaze? Alright, you want a breakthrough skill, right? Westbrook, Ginobili, and even Vince Carter or Tracy McGrady, their breakthrough skills are all very good. You can choose any of them. Players who can enter the system's legendary player list are all heroes. Most of the players who can become silver-level legendary players are extremely strong. You don't need to be so indecisive. What an idiot, do you think the reward for a silver-level milestone would be so bad?"
After being scolded by Aili, Lin Han found his cheeks turning red. It was indeed like that. McGrady, for example, was a two-time NBA scoring champion. Even if Lin Han was more familiar with Joe Dumars, the Finals MVP, and Dominique Wilkins, the league's scoring champion, these guys were all very good. Even if they didn't have Stockton's astonishing 25 skills, they still had a few breakthrough skills. The key was not finding someone with skills, but whether he could draw a breakthrough-type skill from their many skills.
Carter, McGrady, Westbrook, Ginobili, who to choose? After much hesitation, Lin Han excluded McGrady. A two-time scoring champion had too many skills, and the chance of drawing a breakthrough-type skill was too low. As for Carter, Westbrook, and Ginobili, after more hesitation, Lin Han chose the one with the longest name, Russell Westbrook. For some reason, seeing this guy also named Russell made Lin Han feel particularly close, because he had a little brother named Russell.
"Decided? Russell Westbrook?"
Aili looked at Lin Han, who seemed uncertain, and asked. This time, Lin Han was unusually determined. He had already made his choice, so it didn't matter. No matter who he chose, the probability of drawing a breakthrough-type skill was not high unless the player was famous for breakthroughs and all his skills were breakthroughs. So, after making his choice, Lin Han was not so indecisive.
"Alright, Russell Westbrook, special wheel activated, special skill card generating, please wait."
Aili clicked on a three-dimensional player image that suddenly appeared in the void, and Lin Han was also attracted by this suddenly appearing player.
"How does this guy look so much like a Ninja Turtle?!"
Lin Han was shocked beyond measure when he saw this suddenly appearing three-dimensional image. The movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" had been very popular in the United States in the past two years.
"Ding, special skill draw successful. Congratulations, host, you have obtained one Russell Westbrook's Charge Forward special skill card."
Just as Lin Han was daydreaming, an electronic voice sounded in his ear, and the skill acquisition was successful.
This is a special skill card, right? Lin Han held the card in his hand, which was not much different from a regular skill card, except for the purple border. Regular skill cards had requirements for the host's innate attributes and attributes, and if the requirements were not met, the skill could not be learned. However, special skill cards, although they had requirements, could still be learned even if the requirements were not met, because these special skill cards came with 10 points of happiness and 15 points of attribute points. This meant that if a skill required a height of 1.98 meters and Lin Han was only 1.88 meters, he could still learn it because the 10 points of happiness on the skill card could automatically correct his innate attributes. Similarly, if Lin Han's skill attribute points were insufficient, such as needing 20 points of ball-handling and having only 5 points, it could also be automatically corrected. However, if Lin Han had only 4 points of ball-handling, with a 16-point gap, he could not learn it.
This special skill card was much stronger than a regular skill card, almost equivalent to a regular skill card + 10 points of happiness + 15 points of attribute points. The milestone reward was much better than the single-game record reward. In the past, Lin Han had to work hard to gather the happiness and attribute points needed for the skill.
"Learn Russell Westbrook's special skill card."
Soon, Lin Han, suppressing his excitement, clicked on the skill card and learned it.
"Ding, this skill requires a height of over 1.90 meters, an arm span of 2.01 meters, 15 points of explosiveness, 15 points of speed, 15 points of strength, 15 points of jumping, 15 points of balance, 15 points of agility, and 15 points of ball-handling. Ding, the host meets the height and arm span requirements, the host meets the ball-handling, balance, jumping, and agility requirements. The host's strength is 11, speed is 11, explosiveness is 11, and breakthrough is 10, which do not meet the requirements. Automatic matching, matching complete. The host needs 17 points of free attributes, 15 points of which will be automatically corrected. The host still needs 2 points of free attributes. Does the host confirm to spend 1000 points and 2 points of victory to obtain 2 free attribute points?"
"Confirm."
When Lin Han confirmed again, the player who looked like a Ninja Turtle appeared in his mind. The breakthrough moves this player made in Lin Han's mind were so shocking that Lin Han was stunned.
"Ding, congratulations, host, you have obtained Russell Westbrook's legacy and successfully learned the Charge Forward skill."
Skill: Charge Forward (Golden A-level skill)
Skill Level: LV1
Skill Effect: Comes with LV1 level of No Fear special effect
LV1 level of No Fear effect: When using this skill, the host's straight-line breakthrough speed +10%, explosiveness +10%, strength +10%, balance +10%, jumping +10%, agility +10%, layup success rate -10% (negative effect), breakthrough pass error rate +50% (negative effect)
Note: No fear, charge forward, kill 1000, self-damage 800
After Lin Han finished reading the skill's effect, he finally understood why the guy in his mind was not human. The terrifying explosiveness, speed, strength, and impact, it turned out that even at LV1, there was a 10% increase in six physical attributes. If he practiced to the highest level LV3, who in the league could stop him?
This breakthrough skill, once activated, was so powerful that even Lin Han himself was afraid. The high speed and high impact required precise control of the body, high requirements for layups and passing. No wonder the layup success rate would decrease, and the breakthrough pass error rate would increase. This skill was really too powerful.
This is a beast-level skill, right? According to what Aili said, a skill that could combine 6 or more attribute points could reach the golden skill requirement. This skill was extremely terrifying, combining 8 attributes at the LV level. If it didn't combine passing and shooting, Lin Han would really doubt whether this skill had reached the purple level.
If this skill didn't have the negative effects on layups and breakthrough passes, it would definitely be a god-level skill, even more terrifying than McGrady's pull-up and Kobe's turnaround jump shot. Unfortunately, why couldn't this guy named Westbrook combine shooting and passing into this skill? This is too unfair.
At this moment, Lin Han didn't think that if Westbrook's breakthrough skill was perfect, how could he draw it?
"Don't be too greedy. This is the strongest golden breakthrough skill. If you can break through the limit in the future, you can improve this skill. Maybe it will really become a purple god-level skill."
At this moment, seeing Lin Han's conflicted face, Aili said with a teasing tone.
At this moment, Lin Han's eyes lit up when he heard Aili say that he could improve the skill after breaking through the limit in the future.
"Maybe I can really create a god-level skill!"
Facing Aili's disdainful gaze, Lin Han was suddenly full of confidence.
Why can't I turn a pseudo-purple skill into a real purple skill? Skills like McGrady's pull-up and Kobe's turnaround jump shot are almost impossible to improve because they are already highly mature. However, the Charge Forward skill is not yet fully mature, and Lin Han can even find the direction for improvement. The key is that Lin Han has not yet broken through the limit and does not have the ability to improve skills.
I will definitely succeed in the future! Definitely!
