Chapter 1 001: The death button at the beginning, can I also become the chosen one?
February 6, 2002.
National College Invitational Tournament at the Naike Youth Basketball Development Festival.
Sitting on the bench, Ryan looked at the tens of thousands of fans and countless cameras at the scene, and at the well-known ESPN 2 commentator Mike Dirico on the sidelines. It was hard to imagine that this was just a high school game.
At this moment, ESPN 2 is broadcast live across the country.
St. Vincent and St. Mary High School, which remained undefeated this season, faced off against the nation's top-ranked Oak Hill High School.
LeBron James, the super genius known to the whole country, faced off against another "man destined to surpass Jordan" Carmelo Anthony.
As for Ryan, he is also one of the participants in this game, and will soon compete with these two talented people who are all looking for him!
But just a few months ago, Ryan couldn't believe that as an ordinary office worker, who was abused by the old man when playing in the community, he could appear on such a field.
Being able to play in the same game with superstars like James and Anthony.
Because a few months ago, Ryan was just an ordinary and positive young man who drank a big bottle of iced black tea and was tortured by the female bodhisattvas on the short video app until two or three in the morning every day.
He looks ordinary, has an ordinary job, and his income is even slightly worse than ordinary.
He had no house or car, but because of the demand for a 300,000 yuan gift, he also lost his girlfriend of two years.
If nothing else happens, his life will continue to be ordinary.
At that time, basketball was Ryan's only solace.
But the only connection between Ryan, an ordinary person who loves basketball, and professional basketball is that he often goes to a website to discuss "the difference between GOAT and deputy GOAT."
And often brags: "If I have James's physical fitness, I will definitely become a legitimate dog special, not a self-proclaimed dog special!"
Then one day, after staying up late one night to finish overtime, watching the video and watching the men's basketball team lose to South Sudan by 20 points, Ryan felt a pectoris and lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he found that he had become a middle school student staying with his uncle abroad in pursuit of his basketball dream.
Ryan traveled through time, and sure enough, in this era where nuclear sewage is discharged directly into the sea, any weird things may happen.
Ryan's time-travel benefits have naturally not been lost. In addition to his appearance comparable to Yanzu, his height of 2 meters and a wingspan of 2 meters, he also gained a basketball system.
Thinking of this, Ryan, who was sitting on the sidelines, concentrated and opened the AR system interface that only he could see:
“The basketball GOAT auxiliary system is operating normally.
Basic information page:
Name: Ryan.
Date of birth: June 1, 1984.
Height: 2 meters (still growing).
Wingspan: 2 meters 20.
The initial template 'King's Body' has been activated. "
King's body template, yes, in Ryan's first draw after opening the system, he drew a template that allowed him to obtain the physical fitness of rookie James!
In other words, Ryan has a speed of 90, a jumping of 96, a strength of 84, a lateral speed of 94 and a physical attribute of 92 at the beginning!
The phrase "I want to have James' physical fitness" that Liu Bie casually boasted on the Internet has actually become a reality!
This body can make a house even if you go to the factory to get screws.
With this body, if he can learn to sing, dance and rap, Ryan can return to China and make his debut as the captain of the Ugly High School basketball team.
With this body, if Ryan had read "How to Become a Charming Man Liked by Rich Women", he would be able to prosper. Young people, working hard to make money is not embarrassing.
However, Ryan, who has a basketball system, is not satisfied with playing small games.
In his previous life, he broke up with his girlfriend of two years because of a gift of 300,000 yuan, and he is determined to become a superstar who can barely survive on his income of hundreds of millions of dollars a year!
The opportunity to change your destiny is right in front of you, so don't give up so easily.
With this idea in mind, Ryan played very hard in every game after crossing over, hoping to become famous as soon as possible.
His goal in this life is very simple, which is to make a lot of money through basketball!
Although except for physical attributes, Ryan's other attributes are still very low.
But his excellent physical fitness was enough for Ryan to shine from a small substitute at Oak Hill High School to a starter in his senior season.
Originally, the former Ryan's physical fitness was not bad, but as for high school players, their bodies remain the same every year, and it is normal for them to make huge improvements in a certain year, so it did not arouse any suspicion.
Don't you see that Jordan could only hang out with the second team when he was in his junior year of high school. It wasn't until his height and physical fitness skyrocketed during his senior year of high school that a basketball legend began.
However, high school games are just high school games after all.
In this era when the Internet is not developed enough and most fans can only rely on newspapers and TV news to receive information, it is not easy for a high school player to become famous nationwide.
What's more, this season Oak Hill High School also got an even more dazzling Carmelo Anthony.
Being teammates with Anthony has its pros and cons.
The advantage is that winning is easier. Oak Hill High School is still struggling to win this season.
The downside is that Anthony is so famous that Ryan is always overshadowed by Angua.
Just like Wade, because of his teammates, he became the only player in history who lowered his status after winning two consecutive championships.
Therefore, Ryan is only famous locally in Virginia, but has no reputation in the United States.
And today, Ryan's chance to become a basketball star finally comes!
In this most high-profile high school basketball game in history, ESPN broadcast it nationally.
As long as Ryan can kill the high school genius whose worth has reached tens of millions of dollars under the eyes of all the ugly fans.
He will be able to shock the entire basketball world, reach the pinnacle of his life, and will never be depressed again because of something like a 300,000-yuan gift!
Before the game started, Ryan clicked on the mission interface again. There was the first system mission he had obtained in months:
“Mission: Shine the Nation.
Goal: Defeat St. Mary's High School with Melo in a nationally televised game!
Reward: Carmelo Anthony talent fragment. "
Seeing the "talent fragment" thing, Ryan felt like his liver hurt.
I'm afraid this system is not from the Internet Arts Department.
Although I don’t know what the specific reward is yet, since it is related to Angua, it should be pretty good!
Now, there is one more reason to win.
After turning off the system interface, Ryan found that the scene was already full of people.
Because the venues for ordinary high school games could not accommodate a matchup of this size, the venue for this game was moved to the basketball stadium at the University of Akron.
Even so, the huge college basketball stadium is full of people. The atmosphere at this time was no less than an NBA game.
This game has attracted a lot of attention, but at this moment, people's eyes are on James and Anthony.
No one knows that Ryan, a yellow-skinned, black-haired outlier in the basketball world, the No. 0 of Oak Hill High School, is actually not a bad guy!
The game is about to begin. St. Mary's High School head coach and former University of Michigan coach Keith Damlot thinks there is no need to say anything more at this time.
He knows very well that James is a complete dimensionality-reducing blow to others. There is no need for complicated tactics at all. Giving the ball to James is the best tactic.
This season, Damlot has undoubtedly vividly embodied the professional basketball vocabulary of "tie the dog to win".
The coaching staff of Oak Hill High School obviously didn't think so. Before the game started, head coach Steve Smith made a statement:
"Ryan, remember, your task today is to guard LeBron and allow Cameron to attack with peace of mind!"
Steve Smith always felt that this game was not a 1V1 between Anthony and James, and Ryan was the key to changing the situation!
Anthony also laughed: "Yes, let that genius taste your power, little lion."
Angua will never forget how embarrassed he was on the training field on the first day he transferred to Oak Hill High School this season because his name sounded like No. 0, a lion.
If there is anyone else who can defend James in the high school league, it must be Ryan!
Ryan stood up under the expectant eyes of the head coach and Angua, and then nodded: "Leave it to me!"
Ryan took a deep breath. He was about to face James in the most high-profile high school game in history, broadcast live nationwide!
He has been waiting for such an opportunity for so long after traveling through time!
Make a name for yourself starting now!
Ryan steps onto the court and is the key to winning in the eyes of his teammates and coaches.
But in the eyes of fans, Ryan is just an insignificant background in this big scene.
The 17-year-old boy wearing a green jersey and the childish-looking Melo are the focus of the fans' attention.
The two talented teenagers hugged each other, and the surrounding area suddenly flashed.
This battle of the century was frantically reported by all the ugly media a month ago. The New York Times called it: the beginning of another era of two heroes after Magic and Bird.
This seems to be a stage dedicated to Anthony and James.
But it doesn't matter, Ryan believes that after this game is over, he will also become the focus of everyone's attention!
He will definitely grab this traffic!
In fact, Ryan has attracted the attention of some people. After all, Asians are as scarce as giant pandas in the US and high school competitions these days.
No, Romeo Travis, the starting center of St. Mary's High School and one of Ajan's good friends, paid attention to Ryan:
"Yellow-skinned one, are you in the wrong place? The women's basketball game is next door."
Seeing Romeo provoking Ryan, several other surrounding St. Mary's High School players also laughed in agreement.
Don't be surprised, you can always trust the quality of black guys.
He was being polite by not coughing directly at Ryan.
What's more, St. Mary's High School, which is also undefeated this season, is used to bullies doing whatever they want on the court.
They are arrogant and do not take any opponents seriously.
Ryan glared at Romeo who was rude to him. The guy looked stronger than James. In the future, he will also be the only person from this St. Mary's High School team besides James to play professional basketball.
The strength cannot be underestimated.
The arrogant Romeo thought that Ryan was a soft persimmon, but was given a vicious look by Ryan.
In a country where most Asians are labeled as "weak" and "easy to bully", Romeo feels that it is normal for Ryan to swallow his anger.
But that kid still dared to stare at me?
"What are you looking at? Be careful, I will crush you into pieces! Idiot!"
Romeo raised his voice in an attempt to scare Ryan, but Ryan, who has been born in two generations, only wants to make money and a big career now, and has no intention of arguing with children.
Of course, this does not mean that Ryan will swallow his anger. He didn't show weakness or get angry.
Instead, he replied calmly:
"Shut up, LeBron's little wife, you're making so much noise. I don't like arguing with women."
For a moment, there was a burst of laughter on the court.
"Hahahaha, Romeo, you can't even intimidate an Asian player."
"Did you kick the steel plate? Hahahaha."
"LeBron's little sweetheart, I love your new nickname, Romeo."
In his previous life, Ryan was a super keyboard warrior on major basketball forums, and he always used trolling as a way to relax and entertain.
All kinds of dirty talk came out of his mouth.
Romeo was angry at that time. Since he was in high school, no one has dared to humiliate him like this!
What's more, the person who humiliated him was an Asian who was at the bottom of the basketball court food chain!
In the future, if word gets out that I was scolded by an Asian weakling, how can I still mess around?
Romeo clenched his fists: "I will make you regret it soon, bastard!"
Ryan nodded indifferently: "Okay, okay, I'm waiting for you, Princess Romeo."
Seeing Ryan's careless but deadly words, Romeo almost suffered from high blood pressure at a young age.
At this time, the referee signaled both sides to get ready and he was about to kick off.
NBA and college scouts are also paying full attention, hoping to see what these two talents James and Anthony have to offer.
The referee threw the ball into the air and Oak Hill High School won the ball. James directly stuck to Anthony and guarded Anthony tightly!
17 years old is the age when you are young and energetic, and dare to fight hard.
At this time, James won't think about too much, and won't consider the strategy of a superior horse versus a inferior horse.
As soon as he came up, he wanted to start a king-on-king battle and directly engage Anthony in hand-to-hand combat!
Although Anthony was entangled, he looked relaxed.
Because he saw his No. 0 teammate cutting into the penalty area along the baseline.
Oak Hill High School point guard Eric Brown saw Ryan cutting in and immediately hit the ball to Ryan's hands.
Ryan took two big steps with the ball and prepared to directly attack the frame. This was a perfect opportunity to score through an air cut.
But at the scene, Akron fans cheered instead.
Because the person guarding the penalty area at this time is none other than Romeo Travis, the tallest, strongest, and most destructive player on the St. Mary's High School team besides James!
In the high school league, there are countless players who have been blocked by Romeo in the penalty area.
Although the Asian man is also very tall,
Sorry, you will also be wiped out!
Romeo is also paying full attention, brat, let's see which one of us is the little wife!
I'll swat you like a fly!
Ryan calmly stared at the strong Romeo in front of him. He was not timid or slowed down, but ignored his defense and took off directly!
When Ryan jumped up, the whole world was shocked.
Ryan did not bump into Romeo, did not fight with Romeo in the air, and was not directly slapped down by Romeo.
Because Romeo was also petrified by the height of Ryan's jump.
Ryan seemed to just jump easily. He actually flew directly over Romeo's bare head! After jumping directly over Romeo, No. 0 of Oak Hill High School slammed the ball into the basket with both hands!
James' eyes widened. There were a lot of students who could dunk in the US high school competition, but there was no one who could fly directly over the opponent's head to complete the dunk.
At this time, it was not just James who was shocked.
Through the lens of national live broadcast, the scene of Ryan just flying directly over his opponent to complete the dunk spread throughout Mi Li's family.
"Wait. What did he do?"
"No, he flew directly over Romeo!? What kind of abnormal physical fitness is this!?"
"Is there a spring in his shoe?"
"This guy actually copied Carter's death button!"
All the fans watching the live broadcast on TV were stunned.
Who would have thought that in this high-profile game, the first person to show off his power was neither Anthony nor James, but a No. 0 from Asia!
Ryan himself was not surprised. The "King's Body" template allowed him to obtain the physical attributes of rookie James. After the first system upgrade a few days ago,
Ryan has further strengthened his physical attributes!
In the previous upgrade, Ryan used the rewarded lottery opportunities to choose the skill point lottery gift box from the "Skill Point Lottery Gift Box", "Talent Fragment Lottery Gift Box" and "Action Lottery Gift Box".
In the end, three lottery packages were opened in the gift box, and a total of 8 attribute points were obtained.
So he raised his strength to 90, and gave the remaining two points to his bounce, directly raising his bounce to 98, which is close to the full level!
In other words, Ryan's current physical fitness is even more abnormal than Ajan's at the same time!
Therefore, it is a piece of cake to fly over a 2-meter Romeo who is unprepared!
After an opening lightning slam, the whole place fell silent.
Ryan landed firmly, faced Romeo, bent down, and pressed his hands to his ankles.
Then, he continued to use the calmest tone and said the most heart-wrenching words: "Mrs. Romeo, I'm sorry. Just now, I seemed to fly a little higher."
After saying that, Ryan didn't smile on the surface, but he was extremely ecstatic in his heart.
A dunk in a nationally broadcast game?
With the death button at the beginning, I also have a chance to become the Chosen One!
At that moment, Ryan felt.
I probably won’t have to worry about a 300,000 yuan gift in my life anymore!
This is my first time writing a basketball article, and I beg for your support
