Chapter 2
Su Yan, a freshman at Magic University, a new student in the School of Surveying and Mapping.
He successfully entered the school team with the "glorious" deed of shattering a backboard, which was announced to the whole school, and in the "Freshman Cup."
With his own strength and a destructive momentum, he led the team to win the "Freshman Cup Championship."
Skipping the selection process, he was guaranteed a starting spot on the school team.
The brilliance in the "Freshman Cup" also allowed Su Yan to have "autonomous mate selection rights" for his four years of university, about to step into the "peak of school life."
As a result.
A sudden change occurred.
A fall on flat ground.
Su Yan transmigrated, arriving at a parallel world's Blue Star, arriving in the magnificent and spectacular year of 2003, which gave birth to the "Platinum Generation."
Not only did he transmigrate, but his height also changed from the original 183 cm to the current 198 cm, and he was bound to the "Basketball God System."
He received a novice gift pack, obtaining: 【Steel Strength】 and 【Eyes of the Heavenly Emperor】.
【Steel Strength】: Increases Su Yan's strength, allowing him to bench press 244 kg, breaking the NBA record, but... this is not his strength limit.
【Eyes of the Heavenly Emperor】: The ability of Seijuro Akashi, the captain and one of the "Generation of Miracles" from the fantasy basketball anime "Kuroko's Basketball."
He can see every move of his opponent clearly.
Footwork, acceleration, jumping, muscle contraction, etc., everything the opponent does on offense and defense, he sees as if watching in slow motion.
At the same time.
He can immediately make judgments and decisions, thereby rendering the opponent's offense and defense ineffective.
Currently, Su Yan has only unlocked 80% of the 【Eyes of the Heavenly Emperor】's dynamic vision, but that is a fantasy basketball ability, and when applied to reality, it is already this powerful.
Pure dimensional reduction strike.
So much so that.
Even if Su Yan's talent is mediocre, he can still single-handedly blow past the Bulls, who lack the "Basketball God" Jordan.
And the reason he tried out for the Bulls is because the system designated it.
Last year, Jordan finished his final year with the Wizards; this year, Su Yan became a member of the Bulls, growing into the "best player currently active," and even the "greatest of all time."
By then.
Same height, same position, same team, same greatness.
Su Yan replaces Jordan, surpasses Jordan, and reaches the position of "greatest of all time," which perfectly fits the original intention of the "Basketball God" system.
Additionally.
The system also issued the first main quest: 【Win one Rookie of the Week award, reward: 【Beginner · Mid-range Shot】.】
Back to Su Yan.
Having just transmigrated, he was obviously somewhat unable to adapt and accept it.
After all, he had just reached the peak of school life at Imperial University.
But after the system appeared, looking at the veins bulging on his arms, feeling the strength filling his body to the limit, and... the terrifying dynamic vision of the 【Eyes of the Heavenly Emperor】.
He felt comfortable.
Su Yan felt comfortable instantly, and his eyes were filled with heat.
He was full of anticipation for competing with the "03 Platinum Generation," for surpassing LeBron, Wei De, Bosh, and a host of future superstars, and for being the first to reach the top position in the NBA!!!
Because the draft was taking place when he transmigrated, he couldn't showcase his talent.
So... even with the system's help, he signed up for the draft, but with his mediocre talent, no one paid attention to him, so he could only become an undrafted player.
Thus.
Su Yan went to the Bulls to try out as an undrafted player.
And then came the physical report that shocked Skiles and Paxson, as well as the luxurious record of blowing past the entire Bulls roster on both ends of the floor.
June 27th, the "03 Platinum Generation" draft was held.
July 1st, the trade market opened.
July 5th, Su Yan successfully tried out for the Bulls, signed a 10-day short-term contract with the Bulls, and will compete in the Boston Summer League in 3 days.
July 6th.
Today.
10:00 AM.
Su Yan came to the arena to conduct some simple training and coordination with his teammates who were about to compete in the Summer League, further preparing for it.
Summer League.
This is a basketball league with a level lower than the NBA and NCAA, but higher than the G-League and CBA.
The players playing here are generally mostly first-year rookies, as well as... undrafted players and bench players whose contracts are about to expire but haven't proven themselves in the NBA.
For rookies.
High-draft-pick rookies adapt early to the NBA-style games, put up stats and dominance, and increase their popularity in advance.
Low-draft-pick rookies use the Summer League stage to put up eye-catching performances, so that when they enter the NBA.
They get the team's attention and have more tactical status.
For undrafted players and bench players whose contracts are about to expire.
The Summer League stage.
Might be their last chance to return to the NBA.
Seize it well, put up good performances, and they can better secure their next NBA contract, or... enter the NBA to play.
In short.
The players participating in the Summer League are basically players on the fringes of the NBA, possessing certain talent and strength, and they will play their hearts out.
Naturally, the level is higher, and the excitement of the games won't be too bad.
And the addition of popular rookies like LeBron, Anthony, and Wei De has added even more popularity to this year's Summer League.
During the empty NBA offseason.
Many fans still focus their attention on the Summer League stage.
"Su, will you be a bit nervous tomorrow playing in your first Summer League game, which is only second to the NBA and NCAA?!"
Teammate Crawford asked with a smile.
"Pfft~"
Pippen hugged Su Yan and laughed loudly, "This kid blew past all of us, a minor-league Summer League?!
Su Yan will just play around casually."
Eddie Luo Binxun, a team substitute who was about to participate in the Summer League and played as a small forward, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, thinking... I'm counting on the Summer League to get a raise.
You're telling me it's minor-league.
That's too much, that's too much!
"That's for sure."
This year's seventh overall pick guard, Kirk Hinrich, nodded with a smile, "Su will... stun everyone on the Summer League stage."
The look he gave Su Yan was full of respect.
Although his draft position was much higher than Su Yan's, having seen Su Yan blow past all his teammates, including himself, one by one.
Hinrich had to admit.
The undrafted Su Yan possessed absolute basketball strength that surpassed his own.
So naturally, there wasn't the slightest bit of looking down on him; on the contrary... Su Yan's easygoing and unpretentious personality also left a good impression.
"Ha..."
Su Yan smiled, "I'll still be a little nervous, after all, it's a Summer League full of hot rookies and NBA players.
I still have to take it seriously."
"Su is so humble." Crawford laughed, "Even though none of us are his match."
"Too low-key!"
Pippen shook his head and laughed: "Even a seventh pick like Hinrich was blown past, how many rookies this year are Su's match?"
Hinrich:???
Brother Pippen, are you being polite?!
"Uh..."
