NBA, Just Wait for Me to Conquer You

"Ahhhhh!" "Ooooooh!" The University of Kansas players hugged the championship trophy and returned to the locker room to celebrate wildly, though no one knew who had popped the champagne that had been prepared in advance.

Bang.

In an instant, the entire locker room was filled with the scent of champagne. Then, someone started playing music, causing the University of Kansas players to become even more excited; with champagne in hand, their feet couldn't help but dance along to the rhythm.

Goodwin also enjoyed it to the fullest; this was the happiest day he had experienced since his rebirth.

Since his rebirth, he had lived a particularly "bitter" life, especially when facing the devilish training from the System every day. He almost trained from morning until night just to barely finish, and every night when he lay in bed, he felt as if his body didn't belong to him.

Fortunately, as long as he slept, the accumulated fatigue would be swept away, and he would recover instantly. Goodwin didn't know how this happened, but he guessed it must have something to do with the System.

Just then, the locker room door opened—it was head coach Roy Williams!

Head coach Roy Williams was all smiles, his eyes shining as he looked at his players and said, "Hurry up and wash up and change your clothes; the school leaders have already booked a restaurant."

There's food?

Hearing head coach Roy Williams' words, the University of Kansas players let out screams of joy, then put down what they were holding and quickly went to wash up and change.

Head coach Roy Williams shook his head helplessly as he looked at the messy locker room.

More than 10 minutes later, the University of Kansas players, led by head coach Roy Williams, sat on the bus. The driver stepped on the gas, and the bus started, heading toward the restaurant.

As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, the University of Kansas players scrambled off the bus; they were starving.

The restaurant had already prepared delicious food, waiting for their arrival.

Seeing the tables full of delicacies, they could almost feel their mouths watering.

The University of Kansas players didn't sit down immediately, but instead looked in unison at head coach Roy Williams behind them.

Head coach Roy Williams smiled and said, "Aren't you hungry? Go ahead and eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, the University of Kansas players stood on no ceremony, sat down one after another, and began to eat.

Ugh, ugh, ugh... 😋

Everyone ate with great relish, one after another.

The food on the tables gradually disappeared as time passed, all ending up in the stomachs of the University of Kansas players.

Seeing this, head coach Roy Williams waved to the waiter nearby, and the waiter immediately brought out more dishes.

Taking advantage of the moment the waiter was serving, head coach Roy Williams looked at everyone and said, "There's plenty for tonight." As their head coach, he knew their appetites very well; every one of them was a big eater.

But there was no other way; as athletes, they had to undergo high-intensity training every day. Therefore, every time they finished training, they needed to replenish a massive amount of food to make up for the energy consumed during exercise. Thus, their appetites were several times larger than those of ordinary people.

After eating for nearly two hours, everyone slowly put down their utensils. Gradually, only Goodwin was still struggling. Everyone turned their eyes toward Goodwin in unison; it was the first time they realized this freshman could eat so much.

Another half hour passed, and only when Goodwin had finished all the food on the table did he stop. Under the gaze of everyone, Goodwin muttered, "That's about it, I'm 80% full." Since his rebirth, he didn't know if it was because of the intense training, but he had become particularly capable of eating.

80% full?

Head coach Roy Williams was stunned for a moment, then looked at Goodwin and said, "Goodwin, if it's not enough, you can keep ordering! You're the star tonight, eat as much as you want."

Goodwin shook his head and said, "No need, Coach. I have to go back to train later."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at Goodwin in shock. He had to go back to train later?

Collison, who was nearby, opened his mouth blankly and said, "Goodwin, you have to go back to train later?"

Goodwin replied without hesitation, "Of course, I haven't finished my training tasks for today." He still needed 200 mid-range shots and 200 three-pointers.

Every day, the System's devilish tasks required completion, or one attribute would be randomly deducted. Of course, completing them would earn him 1 skill point.

Hearing Goodwin's words, the rest of the University of Kansas players finally understood why Goodwin could become the team's savior tonight, and they all gave him a thumbs up.

Goodwin didn't think much of it; he trained so hard not to get praise from his teammates.

After resting for a while, everyone returned to the hotel under the leadership of head coach Roy Williams to stay the night before heading back.

Back at the hotel, Goodwin immediately grabbed a ball and headed to the basketball court inside the hotel. For the past few days, the hotel's court had temporarily become their training ground, so Goodwin arrived at the court without obstruction and began his training without delay.

He dribbled the ball to the three-point line, performed a sudden stop, jumped, hung in the air, and released the shot.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and with a "swish," it landed steadily in the embrace of the hoop.

Time passed slowly. As Goodwin hit his final mid-range shot, a voice echoed in his mind: "Congratulations to the host for completing today's training. You have received 1 skill point."

The corners of Goodwin's mouth rose slightly. His hand moved to open his information panel, and he clicked on the mid-range shot position 4 times in a row. In an instant, his mid-range shot rating went from 60 to 64!

In Goodwin's plan, he wanted to use all his skill points on shooting first, because the sport of basketball was ultimately about throwing the ball into the hoop. Following that, he would become a so-called 3D player; after all, one couldn't become a fat man in one bite—he had to take it one step at a time.

First, become a 3D player. What is a 3D player? In basketball, a 3D player refers to a player who is skilled at both three-point shooting and defense.

In basketball tactics, defense and three-point ability are both extremely important. A player good at defense can mark the opponent's core figures, limit their scoring, and win more opportunities for their own side. A player good at three-pointers can open up space for the team on the offensive end, help break the opponent's defense, and secure more points or create more space for the team.

Especially in this era, having a sharp three-point shot was very important.

Next was to evolve from a 3D player into a superstar on both ends of the floor. He wanted to become the "Jordan" of this era!

If anyone knew of Goodwin's ambition, they would definitely mock him: "Daydreaming!"

But in Goodwin's eyes, since he had obtained the System, if he couldn't become the "Jordan" of this era, he might as well go hit his head against a block of tofu and die.

NBA, just wait for me to conquer you!

"Ding-dong!"
