Kobe Bryant took a deep breath. “Don’t you get it? You’re not even my…”

“I know. Of course I’m not your match. You’re one of the top high school players in the country, and I’m just an ordinary person.” William Sullivan answered honestly.

“Then you and I one-on-one is just completely…” Kobe Bryant looked at William Sullivan in utter confusion.

“I want to play in the NBA.” William Sullivan looked at Kobe Bryant with a serious expression.

And while William Sullivan had expected Kobe Bryant to burst out laughing, after he said he wanted to play in the NBA, Kobe Bryant didn’t laugh at all. Instead, he became serious too.

“He really does love basketball…”

Kobe Bryant sized up William Sullivan carefully. “My name is Kobe Bryant. What’s yours?”

William Sullivan replied, “William Sullivan. You can call me Su.”

“Su… Alright, I’ve decided. From now on, I’ll be in charge of your training!” Kobe Bryant suddenly put on the air of a senior and said to William Sullivan.

William Sullivan: “…”

Now that’s the vibe.

As expected of Kobe Bryant…

Even as a kid, he liked teaching others how to play.

In his previous life, William Sullivan knew that Kobe Bryant loved to share his knowledge and enjoyed teaching young people his cool basketball skills. But… William Sullivan never expected that this young Kobe in front of him would actually…

“What? I’m the best high school player in the country. I’m definitely going to play in the NBA in the future. With me teaching you, you’re still not willing?” Kobe Bryant said, a little dissatisfied.

William Sullivan shook his head. Fate really is wonderful.

“Of course not. I just wanted to know, didn’t you already not want to…” William Sullivan looked at Kobe Bryant curiously.

“Enough nonsense. Why are you being so wishy-washy? Pick up the basketball. We’re starting morning special training. From now on, I’ll be waiting for you here every day at 4 a.m.!” Suddenly fired up, Kobe Bryant looked at William Sullivan and said.

William Sullivan: “…”

What the heck!

Every day at 4 a.m.?

That’s killer!

William Sullivan just wanted to make a joke, but he never expected he’d opened Pandora’s box…

But, it’s not a bad thing!

Because if it was just playing games, William Sullivan probably couldn’t do it. But if it’s basketball…

It seems…

It’s pretty tough too!

“For the iron value!” William Sullivan clenched his fist, and after focusing his attention, his gaze toward Kobe Bryant was full of hunger.

Life never stops, nor does brick-laying!

…

Clang! Bang! Clatter!

The morning special training ended quickly. Looking at all he’d gained, even though he was exhausted, William Sullivan felt it was worth it.

And it’s worth mentioning that William Sullivan’s mid-range shooting actually improved a bit, reaching 16.

Also, after equipping the A-level Curry shooting form, William Sullivan more or less figured out its use.

First, this shooting form doesn’t change the original user’s shooting motion.

Second, after equipping the A-level Curry shooting form, William Sullivan could clearly feel his release speed was just a tiny bit faster than before.

This kind of enlightening transformation, William Sullivan didn’t know how to explain, but it was definitely practical.

It’s just that so-called shot contest resistance—William Sullivan hadn’t noticed it yet.

Because in his one-on-ones with Kobe Bryant, William Sullivan was currently forbidding Kobe Bryant from blocking his shots…

And it seemed that, to boost William Sullivan’s confidence, Kobe Bryant would always deliberately pretend to show a weakness to let William Sullivan attack.

To be honest, this was a bit troubling for William Sullivan.

Because, he really just wanted to brick shots…

“Sigh…” William Sullivan felt he needed to cherish this period when his shooting stat was still low.

Actually, when he first got this system, William Sullivan had wondered if he could just not practice shooting or not increase his shooting potential, would he be able to keep bricking shots forever?

But in reality, damn, that’s a total paradox!

First, because William Sullivan had to rely on bricking shots to earn iron value, his shooting practice would only be more than others, not less!

So William Sullivan predicted that his shooting stat would definitely be the fastest-growing of all his attributes.

Second, if William Sullivan’s shooting wasn’t accurate, then in a game, would the coach give him unlimited shooting rights?

Without unlimited shooting rights, how are you going to happily brick shots?

Heh, don’t think basketball is that simple!

William Sullivan believed that in the future, if he wasn’t playing high-intensity games, it would be much harder to earn iron value.

Because right now, he’s just too “trash,” so Kobe Bryant is basically giving him a five, six, seven, eight-level head start, making it relatively easy to rack up iron value.

In William Sullivan’s view, he was destined to have to work on difficulty.

Fadeaways, floaters—in the future, he’d have to play more superstar ball during regular time, so he could look cool and make sure his shooting percentage wasn’t too high.

And during this period, as long as his shooting percentage wasn’t too low, the coach would definitely give him opportunities.

In short…

Just be cool, that’s all!

“I’m off to class… By the way, don’t you have to go to class?” Looking at the exhausted William Sullivan, Kobe Bryant asked.

“School’s on break…” William Sullivan replied.

“Which school? That’s awesome!” Kobe Bryant asked curiously.
