Chapter 2 Masterful Passing and Control Shakes Down Smart
Silently opening the attribute panel, Wang Xiucheng looked at it carefully.
Birthday: December 24, 2002 (18.8 years old)
[Barefoot height: 187.7cm] (1 to 0.1cm)
[Wingspan: 189.5cm] (1 = 0.1cm)
[Weight: 82.4kg] (1:0.1kg)
[Standing vertical jump: 72.5cm] (1 = 0.1cm)
Maximum vertical jump: 83.1cm (1 = 0.1cm)
Speed: 74.2 (1 to 0.1)
[Strength: 63.5] (1 to 0.1)
[Stamina: 58.7] (1 to 0.1)
[Charm: 70.5] (1 to 0.1)
[System points remaining: 100 points.]
These data can all be improved with system points; the following should be the exchange rate.
Time was of the essence, so he didn't study it further. Instead, he closed the attribute interface and opened the skill interface.
The skill interface is divided into three areas, called "Passing and Control Module", "Shooting Module", and "Defense Module".
The "transmission and control module" has been activated, while the other two modules are sealed.
Around the "transmission and control module", there is an empty card slot that has been opened, and there is a faint white line connecting the two.
At the bottom of the screen, there are many small empty spaces, and inside each of them lie two skill cards.
[Skill Card: Apprentice-Level Passing and Control]
[Equip this skill card in the pass and control module, and the host will master apprentice-level pass and control.]
[Spend 100 points to upgrade your pass and control skills from apprentice level to expert level.]
There is also a skill upgrade card.
[Skill Upgrade Card.]
[The skill can be upgraded once, ignoring the point requirement for upgrading.]
Wang Xiucheng had a toothache. He thought 100 system points would be a lot, but now it seemed that it was far from enough. Not only did he need system points for hard attributes like height and wingspan, but he also needed points to upgrade skill cards.
At this moment, the referee blew his whistle, and the timeout ended.
Silas put away his tactical board and pointed at Wang Xiucheng, "You'll play point guard."
Wang Xiucheng was taken aback at first, then nodded somewhat bewildered.
So I'm going to go on stage now?
Before I could react, a system notification sounded.
[Today's task is now released.]
[Task 1: Obtain playing time; reward 10 system points upon completion.]
[Task 2: Earn 1 point, and receive 10 system points upon completion.]
[Task 3: Get 1 rebound. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with 10 system points.]
[Task 4: Get 1 assist. Upon completion, you will be rewarded with 10 system points.]
[Completing all the above tasks will reward you with an additional 10 system points.]
Wang Xiucheng stood up like everyone else and used the 100 system points directly on [Apprentice-level Passing and Control].
In an instant, the skill card flashed with golden light and upgraded to [Expert-level Passing and Control].
[Skill Card: Expert-Level Passing and Control]
[Equip this skill card in the passing and control module, and the host will master expert-level passing and control.]
[Spend 10000 points to upgrade your expert-level passing and control skills to master-level passing and control skills.]
Wang Xiucheng raised an eyebrow. Upgrading from expert-level passing and control to master-level passing and control actually requires 1 points. Considering the few dozen points reward given by this task, it would take at least half a year to accumulate enough.
By then, I might have already been laid off.
That skill upgrade card was obviously used at this time.
The upgrade card can be directly applied to the [Expert-level Passing and Control] system.
Instantly, a purplish-red light flashed.
[Skill Card: Master-Level Passing and Control]
[Equip this skill card in the pass and control module, and the host will master master-level pass and control.]
This skill card is at its maximum level and cannot be upgraded further.
Fortunately, he was already at the maximum level; otherwise, the exorbitant upgrade points would have been unthinkable for Wang Xiucheng.
Having already arrived at the venue, Wang Xiucheng quickly installed the Master-level Passing and Control Equipment into the blank slot in the Passing and Control Module.
[Skill interface configuration can only be modified once per day, resetting at midnight. Confirm modification?]
"determine."
Silas put himself at point guard, which is the only position he can play at given his height. But he knows his ball-handling skills are not good enough for the NCAA, let alone the NBA.
That's why Wang Xiucheng decided to upgrade the passing and ball control capabilities.
At this moment, in China, on Tencent Sports' live broadcast channel.
Due to Morey's actions, Rockets games were not broadcast for a period of time.
Last year, Morey left the Rockets. Rumors circulated that Fertitta couldn't bear the financial losses the team was suffering, and coupled with the continuous statements from some NBA players, he reached an amicable agreement with Morey.
In any case, Morey's departure has gradually brought the Rockets back into the spotlight for fans.
However, it wasn't until this season that Rockets games were gradually broadcast in China, but only in English with no Chinese commentary or female anchors from Tencent.
But this has already made many fans who have been watching the Rockets since Yao Ming's era happy.
Especially the presence of Wang Xiucheng.
For a long time, domestic fans didn't even know what Wang Xiucheng's background was.
Only one set of player profiles submitted by the Houston Rockets to the league contained some information about Wang Xiucheng.
"During garbage time, Wang Xiucheng is on the court."
"It seems that having a fight does have its benefits; it helps me integrate into the team more quickly."
"This young man is really handsome, even more handsome than my Zhan Ge."
"I just arrived. Can someone tell me who number 12 is? He doesn't look Chinese. Why is he called Wang? Is he mixed race?"
"Although I know what Fatih's intentions are, I'm still very excited to see Chinese players on the court in the NBA."
"The match has started, holy crap, is this Christopher some kind of idiot?"
The game restarted, with Wang Xiucheng, Garuba, Christopher, Martin Jr., and Nwaba entering the field.
Garuba stood outside the sideline to serve, and Wang Xiucheng, who played the number one position, reached out for the ball.
But Christopher then shook off his defender and turned back in the attacking third, and Garuba passed the ball directly to him.
Wang Xiucheng immediately sensed something was wrong.
Sure enough, Christopher didn't even look up after getting the ball. He dribbled straight into the penalty area and, in front of three defenders, he actually shot the ball.
Wang Xiucheng's face turned black. This big idiot.
With a thud, the basketball hit the rim and then, incredibly, swished through the net.
Christopher clenched his fist and started running back.
Silas, who was on the sidelines, even clapped.
Wang Xiucheng was so angry he wanted to curse. Maybe he should just leash a dog.
The Celtics started their offense, and after a pick-and-roll, their three-pointer missed, but Juan Hernangomez grabbed the rebound.
The Celtics continued to control the ball, and time slowly ticked away, with less than two minutes left before the end.
Wang Xiucheng was getting anxious. He had four tasks to complete, but he hadn't even touched the ball yet.
Just as he was getting annoyed, Celtics' Nesmith bypassed Christopher, who was guarding him, and received the ball, ready to drive into the paint.
Wang Xiucheng quickly abandoned his defender and slapped Nesmith's arm.
With a whistle, the referee signaled that Wang Xiucheng had committed a foul.
"It's alright." Christopher patted Wang Xiucheng on the shoulder.
Wang Xiucheng glanced at him sideways, genuinely wanting to give this guy a stun gun.
Nesmith made one of two free throws, bringing the score to 107-92.
Garruba took the corner kick, and Christopher unsurprisingly came over to ask for the ball again.
As a good friend of Jalen Green and a first-round pick this year, Christopher has some status on the team; at least no one asks him to carry their shoes.
"Pass the ball!" Wang Xiucheng shouted at Garuba, almost cursing, as he approached the baseline.
Garuba instinctively passed the ball to Wang Xiucheng.
This is Houston, after all, and Chinese players have always held a special position in the team.
Garuba knew what Wang Xiucheng meant to the team and the owner.
This can be seen from the fact that no one dared to let Wang Xiucheng carry their shoes.
Wang Xiucheng finally received the ball, and Christopher, oblivious to his own limitations, reached out for the ball again.
Wang Xiucheng really wanted to curse. Why is he everywhere?
With a wave of his hand, Wang Xiucheng shouted, "Go to your position, I'll pass to you."
Upon hearing this, Christopher actually ran away.
This proves that this guy wasn't targeting Wang Xiucheng; he just wanted to go it alone.
Smart had already reached Wang Xiucheng at this moment.
Despite leading by more than ten points, the Celtics kept Smart on the court to control the ball, just to be on the safe side.
"Pass the ball, pass the ball..."
Silas, standing on the sidelines, quickly shouted.
Having been with the team for more than half a year, Silas knew Wang Xiucheng's ball control skills all too well.
He had personally witnessed Wang Xiucheng dribbling the ball and it hitting his foot.
That's why Silas was so nervous when he saw Smart, a two-time All-Defensive First Team player, close in on Wang Xiucheng.
If Wang Xiucheng were to dribble the ball and it hit his foot, he would also lose face.
But the next moment, Silas shut up, even showing a surprised expression on his face.
The audience cheered, and even fans who were about to leave stopped to watch and began to applaud.
At this moment, Wang Xiucheng had already dribbled the ball and left Smart behind. Smart even had one hand on the ground, stubbornly refusing to fall.
Silas, standing on the sidelines, saw it clearly: just a second ago, Wang Xiucheng first dribbled between his legs and pulled to the left, Smart followed by tilting his center to the left, and then Wang Xiucheng dribbled behind his back and took a step, directly breaking past Smart on the right.
Smart tried to reach out and grab Wang Xiucheng, but he couldn't shift his weight in time and ended up sitting on the ground with his hand that wasn't grabbing Wang Xiucheng, using it to support himself.
The screams of the fans in the stadium echoed throughout the stadium.
They had been holding back their frustration all day, and finally they let it all out.
Amidst the exclamations, Wang Xiucheng had already tossed the ball into the air.
Bang!
Christopher, unmarked, soared high into the air, caught the ball, and slammed it down hard!
