[Peak Value: 164/11,369]
He had drawn six times in total and received 6 random attribute points. The system had put them all into [Offensive Rebounding], raising it to 82 (101).
After special training, his interior defense had also increased by 6 points, reaching 70 (96).
In addition, because parts of his skeleton had widened by 0.5 cm, Zhou Ze's weight had increased by 5 kg, reaching 120 kg.
His shoulder width had grown from 66 cm to 68 cm.
His wingspan had also increased from 217 cm to 219 cm, but Zhou Ze's standing reach remained at 271 cm. His horizontal dimensions had expanded, but his vertical dimensions had not changed.
The increase in shoulder width allowed him to become like a wall on offense, keeping opponents outside that "wall," while also improving the quality of his screens. When it came to rebounding, it also helped him muscle opponents out of rebounding position.
Of course, every advantage came with a drawback. Shoulders that were too broad made it increasingly difficult to squeeze through screens and drive in tight spaces.
Beyond the transformation of his physique and attributes, Zhou Ze had also further refined his catch-and-drive attacks at the rim through his one-on-one battles with Kobe.
