"Inside... scoring?"

"Master?"

When Li Fei saw the words on the badge, his face turned red.

Was this a basketball system, or some kind of system for training teachers in a certain country's action videos?

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the Bronze Badge: Inside Scoring Master]

[The Host's left- and right-handed finger rolls, scoop shots, and layups in the paint gain a 5%–8% increase in accuracy. The exact boost depends on the defensive situation. Floaters, hook shots, and jump shots in the paint gain a 3%–6% increase in accuracy.]

After reading the badge's effects, Li Fei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You made it sound so suggestive. Couldn't you have just called it the Inside Scoring Master badge...?"

Li Fei wiped the sweat from his forehead. That had given him quite a scare.

The system's badges were broadly divided into several archetypes: Finishing Archetype, Shooting Archetype, Playmaking Archetype, Defensive Archetype, and Special Archetype.

As the name suggested, the Shooting Archetype focused on shooting. The Playmaking Archetype included not only passing but also badges related to ball handling.

The Defensive Archetype included badges related to defense as well as rebounding. The Special Archetype covered more esoteric badges, like Mr. Clutch and Clutch Shooter...

And Li Fei's Inside Scoring Master badge belonged to the Finishing Archetype.

"This skill is incredibly useful. Playing inside in the '90s requires more than just height and Dreamy Footsteps. You need to be able to finish reliably, too."

The paint in the '90s was packed with hulking, musclebound big men.

Getting a dunk was definitely much harder than it was in the NCAA.

Even O'Neal had to work hard on his touch around the basket in this era.

That was no exaggeration. The Shark's touch and skill had always been among the best in the league.
