After determining which direction of development would be more beneficial to him, Chen Hao quickly found the skill that he was currently interested in.
[B] class skill, Outer Barrier!
With the amount of money he had now, he could buy C, D, and B grade skills.
C-rank and D-rank skills were undoubtedly helpful to Chen Hao. Besides the money he had spent on them, he still had some money left to upgrade them.
However, the higher the level of the skill, the more powerful it would be.
Compared to C and D grade skills, B grade skills were expensive, but as a basketball skill of the star level, its initial bonus would be of great help to Chen Hao, even if it could not immediately increase his level.
Thinking of this, Chen Hao didn't hesitate any longer. He spent two million to buy the Outer Barrier skill.
[Outside Line Iron Gate Lvl 1: Greatly increases outside line single defense ability. Additional effect: Irascible (The target easily loses his mind).
After purchasing this B-grade skill, Chen Hao felt a lot of information being transmitted into his mind. Moreover, it was as if it originally belonged to him. It was as if he had many years of experience in single-target defense, and his single-target defense ability had improved a lot.
Summoning his attributes, he realized that his defense ability, which was originally only 50, had now increased to 65!
This was only the case after the skill was Level 1. When the skill level increased, Chen Hao's outer defense ability would definitely increase to an excellent level.
Of course, the main premise was that Chen Hao could get money to upgrade this skill.
Chen Hao looked at his various attributes with joy. Just as he was about to close the system panel, he suddenly realized that his real money, which was originally only 14321 dollars, had actually become 2424321 dollars.
Correspondingly, the System Coins had decreased by 2 million due to the purchase of the B-rank skill, leaving him with only 10,000 dollars.
"Could it be that the money I used in the system store will be directly transferred to my real life account and not be embezzled by the system?”
Chen Hao's eyes lit up and he was in a good mood.
I will definitely not be short of money in the future
Immediately, he thought of something and tried to charge the real money into the system money. However, no matter what he did, the values of the two did not change. This made Chen Hao feel a little disappointed.
This meant that the system had no loopholes to exploit.
Moreover, the System Coins for purchasing skills could only be obtained from the competition, and could not be obtained through top-ups. This was undoubtedly a big restriction.
It also made Chen Hao more determined in his previous thoughts.
"It doesn't seem to matter what the treatment is like when you just entered the league. The main task now is to find a way to join the NBA.”
In other words, Chen Hao didn't need to worry about the draft order at all. He didn't even need to participate in the draft. The best way was to join an NBA team through a non-draft method and step into the high-level arena.
With this thought in mind, Chen Hao returned to the school dormitory.
"Hao, you went to the jungle court again?”
"Yeah, I'm going to play around ~"
Chen Hao smiled and replied to his roommate-cum-teammate. Then, he walked into the bathroom. After playing basketball for a whole day, he couldn't avoid sweating. Now, his whole body was wet and he was very uncomfortable.
After washing up, Chen Hao walked out of the bathroom feeling refreshed. His roommate's voice rang in his ears again.
"Hao, do you know? Our school has recruited a new freshman. I heard that the coach took the initiative to invite him back. Everyone is talking about it. I'm afraid that guy will become a core player in our team next season."
"Oh ~"
Chen Hao, who had already decided not to participate in the draft and directly join the NBA, did not care about this. His answer was very perfunctory.
Seeing this, his roommate looked at him strangely."Hao, why do I feel like you don't care at all? That's a freshman who was established as the core as soon as he joined the team.”
"So? Are you prepared to fight him one-on-one, defeat him, and smoothly take over the core position of the team?”Chen Hao looked at his teammates.
Alfonso Beard…He was a fringe player who had been with him at the water dispenser all year round.
Because the two of them were roommates, their strength was originally only average, so their relationship was quite good.
However, three months later, Chen Hao had completed his transformation. His overall strength had risen to the level of an NBA reserve player, not just a college student.
In the NBA, his current strength was still very lacking, but in the university league, with his current strength, he could definitely become a star player.
As long as he showed his strength in front of the team's coach, he could establish his position in the team at any time, obtain more ball rights, and get a full scholarship.
"Forget about a one-on-one. I'm definitely not a match for him. I think you should give it a try ~" Beard said encouragingly.
Seeing this, Chen Hao only smiled faintly.""If I have the chance, I will definitely do it. By the way, what's that guy's name?”
"Jordan Farmer." Beard laughed.
He didn't take Chen Hao's words seriously and treated it as a joke.
Everyone had been guarding the water dispenser together until now. Who didn't know each other's background?
A player who could make his own coach take the initiative to invite him back was definitely not weak.
"It's him…"
Chen Hao was no stranger to Jordan Farmer.
Beard was surprised by his words.
"You know that guy?"
" I don't know him. I've only heard of him. He's a good player." Chen Hao waved his hand.
The image of Farmer and his experiences in the future appeared in his mind.
As a point guard, Jordan Farmer's ability was actually quite good. His awareness of the court was also quite outstanding, but his flaws were also quite obvious. His physical fitness was average, and his first step of breaking through was mediocre. This made it difficult for him to gain the upper hand when he encountered opponents with high physical fitness.
At the peak of his professional career, he was able to score 10 points per game. His overall ability was definitely not weak.
At his peak, he should be slightly stronger than Smash Parker. He just didn't know how strong this guy was now.
Thinking of Jordan Farmer entering his team, Chen Hao expressed his curiosity."
"I wonder who's more powerful between me and the current Farmer…Well... I should be able to crush him, right?"
Chen Hao didn't waste any more time on this topic. After chatting with Beard for a while, he left the dormitory with Beard. They had a simple dinner in school and took a walk to eat. Then, they went to the school's basketball court.
The school holidays were coming to an end. The school was no longer as deserted as before. It was much more lively.
As a member of the basketball team, although Chen Hao and Beard didn't play much, they still attracted a certain amount of attention when they walked around the campus.
Especially Chen Hao, who was more handsome and sunny. From time to time, he would receive some meaningful gazes.
Beard was envious.
However, there was no good way. After all, they really couldn't compare in terms of looks.
Other than the ordinary students, although the basketball team had not yet assembled, the players on the team had basically returned to school.
As the university that produced the second most NBA players in the entire country, UCLA won a total of 116 championships in the NCAA tournament, ranking first in the country. It was a well-deserved basketball school.
However, UCLA had been in trouble for the past two seasons. There were no talented star players joining. Although the record was not bad, it was not worthy of the school's foundation and historical honor.
With Trevor Ariza entering the NBA this year, the team had lost its only strong point. It could be said that it was adding insult to injury. This time, the coach pulled Jordan Farmer into the team, just as Beard had said before, most likely to make up for the impact of Ariza's departure.
Chen Hao knew about this, but he had no intention of getting involved. He had no feelings for UCLA, and he did not want to waste a year playing in the NCAA. He wanted to enter the NBA directly!
The target had already been chosen.
That was the Los Angeles local powerhouse team, the Los Angeles Laker!
After the F4 team that gathered O'Neal, Kobe, Malone, and Payton lost to the Diamonds in the finals and failed to win the championship, the incomparable luxury lineup of the Los Angeles Clippers broke down.
? Garry Payton left!
Karl Malone chose to retire!
The originally invincible OK combination was also triggered by contradictions. The contract extension did not go smoothly, causing the management of the Los Angeles team to finally choose the younger Kobe. They traded Shaquille O'Neal, who was over 30 years old, to the Heat in exchange for three players, including Odom and Butler.
The starting lineup of Chris Mihm, Odom, Butler, Kobe, and Atkins was not weak, but in the Western Conference, where there were many strong teams, the competitiveness was only average.
In particular, they couldn't compete with the Spurs, the Timberwolves, and other strong teams in the paint.
Later in the season, Kobe, who was the absolute core of the team, suffered an insurmountable injury. The coach, Tom Janovich, inexplicably chose to resign. There were many unfavorable factors such as internal strife in the team, causing the atmosphere in the team to be chaotic!
This was a crucial moment for the team to aim for the playoffs.
Even though Kobe played with an injury, he still failed to lead the team into the playoffs.
Last season, the Laker didn't make it to the playoffs. This season, they had learned from their shame to be brave again. They welcomed their meritorious coach, Phil Jackson, back to the team. They signed Andrew Bynum, who had great potential, in the draft. They even traded Butler from the Wizards to buy Kuame Brown.
They were trying to change the team's weak internal competitiveness.
However, a clever woman could not cook without rice. The competitiveness of the team's lineup in the Western Conference could only be considered to be above average. It was not the first echelon.
The only competitive players on the team were Kobe and Odom. The other players were either still rookies with undeveloped potential or ordinary role players with average potential.
This made Phil Jackson feel helpless.
If they wanted to enter the playoffs this season and get a higher ranking, it would be a huge pressure for the current lineup.
As a result, the Laker team could only open the door to trial training and sent out many inspectors to find players who could be used in the league. At least, they could fill in the roster for the new season. They also hoped to find some players with immediate combat power to fill in the team's current shortcomings and flaws.
To Chen Hao, this was a great opportunity.
The question now is how to get the opportunity to go to the Laker's trial
