Chapter 139
【Ding! Congratulations to the host for being elected Eastern Conference Rookie of the Week, completing the main task, reward: 【Beginner · Mid-range Throwing】 reward.
Releasing a new main task: Get 60+ points in a single game and lead the team to victory, reward: 【Beginner · Swift Footwork】.】
"Beautiful!"
Su Yan's expression shakes, and like everyone else, he shows a happy smile.
Of course.
This smile is not that smile.
While his teammates are immersed in the joy of Su Yan winning Player of the Week, Su Yan takes the opportunity to slip out and come to a quiet place.
Reciting in his heart.
"System, introduce 【Beginner · Mid-range Throwing】."
【Ding! Replying to the host, 【Beginner · Mid-range Throwing】: The host's mid-range shooting ability is enhanced; the closer the host is to the basket, the more accurate it becomes.】
"As expected, it's an ability to improve shooting.
This comes at a very timely moment for me.
Of course.
This is beginner level, I don't know how much it can improve, I'll go train when I'm free, test the shooting percentage, and have a bottom line in my heart.
However.
Under the blessing of the 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】, as long as there is a certain improvement, even if it's not much, I can further improve the shooting percentage in actual combat.
Besides.
The next task reward is: 【Beginner · Swift Footwork】.
This sounds like an ability to improve speed, which is also very beneficial to me; as long as I get it, my offensive and defensive capabilities will also be further improved.
However.
The task of getting 60+ points in a single game and winning is not simple.
Pfft.
This is extremely difficult for a rookie, and even... it seems no player has ever scored 60+ points in a single game in their rookie season.
The system is ruthless.
But after all, I already possess 【Eye of the Heavenly Emperor】 + 【Steel Strength】 + 【Beginner · Mid-range Throwing】, plus the unlimited firing rights I can have as long as I want on the Bulls.
Scoring 60+ in a single game.
It's not like I don't have a chance; if my state is good enough, I can still get it!"
Thinking of this.
Su Yan silently notes this task, keeping it in his heart; this will be his goal for the next period of time.
A goal an average rookie wouldn't even dare to think about.
Afternoon.
Su Yan, Yao, and other Bulls players, daily training.
After Su Yan gets the system reward and gains: 【Beginner · Mid-range Throwing】, he also decisively comes to the court to test his shooting.
"Brother Yao, help me record the mid-range shooting percentage."
Su Yan calls out.
"What's up?"
Pippen on the side teases, "After being targeted in the last game, is this the rhythm of striving for strength and improving mid-range shooting ability?"
"Ha..."
Su Yan smiles awkwardly, noncommittal, "The feeling of having your handle grabbed really isn't good."
"Ha..."
Yao also smiles, "Alright, I'll help you record."
"Come!"
Su Yan calls out.
Right side of the free-throw line, elbow area.
First set of tests: 7-for-10 open shots.
Second set of tests: 9-for-10 open shots.
Third set of tests: 8-for-10 open shots.
Overall 8-for-10 open shots, about 80% shooting percentage.
"Oh?"
Yao looks surprised, exclaiming, "Su Yan, your open mid-range shooting feel is good today; usually it's only about 60%.
Your 80% shooting percentage in these three sets is quite good."
"Ha..."
Su Yan smiles, "My luck is indeed good today."
"COME! ON!"
Pippen's expression shakes, laughing, "This shooting percentage is good, practice more, if you can stabilize this open shooting percentage.
Then others won't dare to leave you open anymore."
"Yes."
Yao agrees.
Su Yan also nods, shouting at Hinrich, "Kirk, come over and accompany me to test the shooting training with defense.
Brother Yao.
Help me record three more sets."
"Alright."
Yao agrees happily.
"Here I come."
Hinrich also puts down his training immediately and comes over to help Su Yan.
Second set of training, shooting with defense.
First set: 4-for-10.
Second set: 5-for-10.
Third set: 5-for-10.
Three sets of tests: 46% shooting percentage under blocks.
"A bit lagging!"
Su Yan shakes his head.
Because it's training, Hinrich won't block completely, and the defensive pressure Su Yan feels in his heart is also reduced, meaning such a shooting percentage will be even lower on the court.
"Uh..."
Su Yan thinks, "No rush, let's try another set of stop-and-pop shots after shaking off the defense."
