When he saw the pointer finally pass over the Jordan initial template card and move toward the Boykins height and wingspan template card, he looked utterly disappointed. Clearly, the Jordan initial ability template card was gone.
“It’s fine, the Boykins height and wingspan template card isn’t bad either. As long as it’s not the Kobe-style turnaround fadeaway skill card!”
Watching as the pointer almost stopped at the Boykins height and wingspan template card slot, Henry Lincoln let out a slightly disappointed sigh of relief.
But what made Henry Lincoln nearly jump out of his skin again was that, after several seconds, just when he thought the pointer should have stopped, it was still crawling forward like a snail—and its target was actually that most terrifying “Kobe-style turnaround fadeaway skill card.”
“Ding, congratulations to the host for drawing the Kobe-style turnaround fadeaway skill card. Wishing you a fun basketball career!”
With the electronic voice from the roulette and the joyful applause of a girl bouncing up and down,
At this moment, Henry Lincoln’s face turned ashen.
It’s over. Everything is over. The glittering golden future ended with that Kobe-style turnaround fadeaway skill card.
“Kobe, I hate you!”
Chapter 3: Aili
“Hey, coward, why are you so down? Congratulations on drawing the Kobe-style turnaround fadeaway skill card! Although it’s really not as good as a lot of other items, at least it’s way better than that Boykins height and wingspan card!”
“Way better than the Boykins height and wingspan card? Who exactly are Boykins and Kobe?”
Henry Lincoln looked gloomily at the stunning girl who had just walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and after pulling himself out of his deep disappointment, he asked in confusion.
According to what this girl had said before, this was the Basketball Legend System, and any player who could enter the system should be a legendary player. Even among role players, there are legendary ones, but to become a legendary role player, at the very least, their innate physical attributes shouldn’t be lacking. So why did this girl make Henry Lincoln feel that, out of these nine items, the most pitiful one was the Boykins height and wingspan template card?
“Kobe and Boykins are both players who will enter the NBA in the future. It’s really hard to describe what kind of player Kobe is, because in your current time and space, it seems like there’s no one to compare him to. But as for Boykins, there is someone—Charlotte Hornets’ starting point guard Muggsy Bogues, you should know him, right? Boykins is about five centimeters taller than Muggsy Bogues!”
Five centimeters taller than Muggsy Bogues—hearing this, Henry Lincoln broke out in a cold sweat all over.
Although he wasn’t a Charlotte Hornets fan, Henry Lincoln had long heard of Muggsy Bogues. He’s the shortest player in NBA history, only 1.60 meters tall. Even though he’s just 1.60 meters, he’s still one of the best point guards in the NBA right now. Last season, he averaged 9+9 with the Hornets, and this season his stats are almost at 10+10. Although his height makes scoring difficult, his passing, ball-handling, assists, and speed are all outstanding. Precisely because he’s achieved such great success in the NBA at his height, his popularity in America and the NBA is even higher than that of many star players.
Henry Lincoln had even seen, more than once in newspapers and on TV, many basketball experts say that if Bogues were 1.80 meters tall, this Hornets’ franchise point guard would be one of the top five point guards in league history.
Whether that evaluation is right or wrong, if Henry Lincoln could get Muggsy Bogues’ ability template card, that would be the best. But if it’s just the height and wingspan template card, then forget it. Henry Lincoln knew that if he became 1.60 meters tall, it would be a tragedy for him.
“What a glittering card, golden with a hint of purple. I hope the card’s real effect is as beautiful as the card itself!”
Holding the Kobe-style turnaround fadeaway skill card in his hand, Henry Lincoln sighed and said. Just now, he really did dodge a bullet, just like the girl said.
“A gold card is one of the top cards in the Basketball Legend System! And this gold card isn’t just pure gold—it has purple on it, which means it’s already close to the highest S-level. The system’s items and players’ abilities are also ranked by level. Generally, gold is A-level, purple is S-level, and this gold card with purple is A+ level. Pretty awesome, right?”
“It really is awesome!”
After hearing the girl’s explanation, Henry Lincoln excitedly asked again, “Looks like this Kobe is really amazing. Do you know whose skill card is purple?”
This player named Kobe being able to have a skill of this level was truly impressive. But judging by the girl’s expression, it seemed like there was someone whose turnaround fadeaway skill was even better than Kobe’s, which made Henry Lincoln curious.
“Coward, you’re so dumb. Just talking about the turnaround fadeaway skill, the best is obviously Michael Jordan! The Jordan-style turnaround fadeaway is one of only five purple-level skills in the system!”
