Chapter 3 System
"Scythe, your three-pointers left a deep impression on me when we played against each other last time. I think we'll have a great time working together." DeRozan packed his things as he walked out of the room and onto the living room sofa, where he sat down with Lian Dao, who was getting familiar with the surroundings.
"Of course, your mid-range shot is accurate, and your dunks are powerful. But right now, I think we need to fill our stomachs before we go to the court to warm up. I haven't eaten anything since this morning, and I'm starting to get hungry."
"Okay, let's eat first, then play. We haven't played against each other in a long time, don't disappoint me." DeRozan readily agreed.
"Haha..." Lian Dao chuckled, but there was a hint of unease in his laughter. Given his current physical condition, challenging a player of DeRozan's caliber probably wouldn't end well.
He didn't want to embarrass himself because of overconfidence.
Actually, he wanted to train before the day after tomorrow to figure out his current level and fully understand his physical condition so that he could develop a reasonable training plan.
He used to be a coach, an experience that made him realize he actually had the potential to reach the pinnacle of professional basketball. Unfortunately, he missed out on systematic training during the crucial period of improving his physical abilities from high school to college.
Some talents are innate, such as height and wingspan; while others, such as jumping ability and speed, can be improved through systematic training. Furthermore, skills like shooting and passing can be improved to All-Star level with rigorous training.
Lian Dao hopes to familiarize himself with his physical condition as soon as possible and then develop a training plan. His goal is to improve his skills and strive to enter the NBA this year.
This may seem like a fantasy to some, but Lian Dao is 203 centimeters tall, has a wingspan of 223 centimeters, a palm length of 24.72 centimeters, and a hand width of 29 centimeters when outstretched—these figures are almost identical to those of legendary players like Jordan, with only minor differences.
Even among NBA players, the proportions of Lian Dao's height, wingspan, and hand size are extremely rare, giving him a unique advantage on the court. However, to fully utilize these talents, he must first meet the basic physical standards of the NBA, which is precisely what he currently lacks.
Lian Dao is determined to elevate his skills and techniques to NBA level within a year. To achieve this goal, he needs not only a meticulous and systematic training plan, but also almost extreme hard work.
This high-intensity training requires precise body control, and with his experience as a former basketball coach, Lien Dao is confident he can do it.
Most of the restaurants at the University of Southern California are buffet style, offering a wide variety of lunch options. The two of them each chose their preferred dishes.
With his current physique, Lian Dao didn't need to deliberately control his diet. He ordered five hamburgers and some meat, hoping to compensate for his lean build with high-calorie, high-fat foods. He knew these calories were crucial for building muscle through high-intensity training.
DeRozan's eyes nearly popped out when he saw Lian Dao's heavy plate. He never expected that someone as tall and slender as Lian Dao could eat so much.
After dinner, the two went to an outdoor basketball court near the stadium.
Lian Dao gripped the basketball tightly, feeling a little nervous. Although he had regained his confidence in pursuing a professional basketball career after his rebirth, the memories of setbacks from his previous life still lingered, making him somewhat uneasy.
Many NBA players look thin, but they have excellent positioning and skills.
Every player who has left their mark on the NBA possesses unique talent. Steve Nash redefined the point guard with his elegant passing, while Stephen Curry changed the game with his three-pointers. Interestingly, Curry's bench press limit is 84 kg for 10 reps, while his body fat percentage is only 5.6%.
Having been given a second chance at life, Lian Dao felt a great sense of responsibility. He was determined to make good use of this opportunity and not let down those who had paved the way for him.
He cleared his mind of distractions and focused on the present. "Let's start with three-pointers," Lian Dao said while dribbling the ball.
"Are you serious? Let's just play a physical game." DeRozan felt that comparing three-pointers was a bit of a stretch and insisted on playing offense.
"Sorry, I forgot you're not good at shooting threes," Lian Dao said casually, his expression more like he wanted to punch someone than apologize.
"I'm just inconsistent, not incapable," DeRozan retorted, his tone clearly tinged with frustration.
Lian Dao raised an eyebrow. "Is there really a difference?"
DeRozan sighed, conceding defeat. "Fine, you go first?"
"Okay!" Lian Dao replied happily, a smile appearing on his face. He confidently dribbled the ball, preparing to shoot.

……
……
……
The NBA's talent succession system has been launched.
"Holy crap..." Lian Dao was startled by the sudden sound, and a thought flashed through his mind: this might be his once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
"What's wrong, buddy?" DeRozan was puzzled by his surprised expression, assuming he wasn't feeling well because he hadn't warmed up after the meal.
"Nothing, just a little surprised. Maybe I need to stretch. I'll go do some stretching over there," Lian Dao casually replied, passing the ball to DeRozan.
Lian Dao walked to the sidelines, staring at the golden icon that had just appeared in his mind. At first, he was excited about the appearance of this mysterious system, but soon, when he found that the system did not respond to his questions, his excitement turned into confusion.
"System, are you there?" Lian Dao asked in a low voice. Seconds ticked by, but the system remained unresponsive, and his voice grew impatient. He frowned and lightly tapped his temples, as if that might wake the system.
"Could it be that I'm doing something wrong?" Lian Dao muttered to himself as he paced back and forth in the small area. "Come out, baby, I promise I won't hit you."
He chuckled awkwardly, recalling the ancient manuals hidden within the bodies of old men in novels. But this wasn't fiction; it was his reality, and the system remained silent.
"What bad luck," Lian Dao muttered under his breath, his excitement turning to frustration. He glanced at the golden icon in his mind, trying to find any clues or hints that might activate it.
Suddenly, a soft ringtone sounded in his mind, startling him. "System startup complete," a mechanical voice finally broke the silence.
Lian Dao blinked, a little bewildered by the unexpected response. "You're the one who gave me a second chance," he blurted out, unable to contain his curiosity any longer, "Why did you choose me? What good are you anyway?"
"Insufficient permissions," the system replied mechanically.
Lian Dao sighed, knowing he wouldn't get a direct answer. "Alright," he muttered, deciding to ask something practical first, "What can you do? What can I get out of you?"
First, let me introduce the attributes of this system. It's called the "NBA Talent Inheritance System," developed in 2838 by a scientist passionate about basketball, with the aim of creating the ultimate basketball player. This system records the talents of all NBA players (including current and retired players).
However, due to the existence of the time travel trigger, the talents of NBA players after 2012 are permanently locked and can only be gradually unlocked over time. Only the talents and role models of NBA players before 2012 can be used under specific conditions.
The NBA Talent Inheritance System encompasses various abilities and life skills of NBA players. Through this system, you can acquire talent skills, player templates, and training bonuses. Furthermore, defeating opponents will earn you their jerseys, which can be used in a jersey talent lottery. Please note that rewards from this system are for personal use only and are non-transferable; violating this rule will result in immediate account deletion.
After learning about the system's basic functions, Lian Dao couldn't help but tease, "System, did you ask for my opinion before I was reborn? Isn't that a bit disrespectful? You should at least compensate me for this unexpected rebirth, right?" As he spoke, he glanced slyly at the system interface, a mocking smile on his face.
The system remained silent for a moment, seemingly stunned by his audacity, unsure how to respond to such a request.
[Given the host's shameless request], the mechanical voice finally replied: [The system can provide compensation this time, but please note that this is a one-time offer. The final decision rests with the system.]
"What kind of compensation? Jordan's skills, O'Neal's strength, or Chamberlain's dominance... sigh, the body." Lian Dao muttered involuntarily, unintentionally revealing his inner expectations.
