Chapter 16

A pleasant electronic chime of success sounded, and Henry Lincoln found that a very handsome Black basketball player appeared in his mind. This player kept repeating, in Henry Lincoln's mind, the invincible moves of Jordan that Henry Lincoln had seen on TV.

The turnaround fadeaway jumper, the left and right spin fadeaways, and even the flashy front spin 360-degree fadeaway jumper.

What shocked Henry Lincoln even more was that this Black player, wearing a Lakers #24 jersey, executed the moves almost exactly like Jordan. If you ignored their faces and body shapes, Henry Lincoln might even suspect they were the same person.

"This Kobe is really something else!"

When the image in his mind stopped, Henry Lincoln muttered to himself. At this moment, it was as if he had truly mastered Kobe's skill—his hands were even trembling, eager to grab a basketball and find a strong opponent to try it out.

"Should I go to Chicago and try it against Jordan?"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the legacy of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, successfully learning the Kobe-style turnaround fadeaway jumper!"

He had only been dazed for a moment before a mechanical electronic voice quickly pulled Henry Lincoln back.

"Did I finally succeed?"

After the electronic prompt ended, when Henry Lincoln opened his attribute list again, a skill bar appeared at the bottom of his attribute list.

Skill name: Kobe-style Turnaround Fadeaway Jumper (Purple-Gold A+ Skill)

Skill level: LV1 (Skill proficiency 0%)

Skill effect: LV1 Kobe-style Turnaround Fadeaway Jumper comes with LV1-level "Picture-Perfect" move effect.

LV1 "Picture-Perfect" move effect: Greatly enhances the visual appeal when the host uses the turnaround fadeaway jumper. When the host makes a shot with this skill, there is a 60% chance to make a second consecutive shot. After making the second shot, there is a 55% chance to make a third, a 50% chance for a fourth in a row, a 45% chance for a fifth, a 40% chance for a sixth, and so on, decreasing until the consecutive hit probability drops to 0%. In addition, if the host misses the first shot with this skill, then the second attempt will have a 60% chance of missing; if the second also misses, the third will have a 55% chance of missing, and so on, until the miss probability drops to 0%.

Skill note: This skill ignores any game intensity and ignores the user's stamina.

After reading the skill description, Henry Lincoln was momentarily at a loss for words. Is this kind of skill really a top-tier purple-gold skill? Are you kidding me?

"Alice, is this the purple-gold skill I chose?"

Suppressing his anger, Henry Lincoln looked at the stunningly beautiful girl with a dark expression and asked. He suspected this seemingly innocent but actually shameless girl had tricked him.

"Is there something wrong with it?"

Alice tilted her head in confusion and asked. She really didn't understand why Henry Lincoln was dissatisfied with such a powerful skill.

"Didn't you say that once my shooting ability reaches 15, my mid-range shooting percentage would be 70% to 80%? Why does this skill actually lower my shooting percentage?"

Looking at the innocent-looking girl, Henry Lincoln was about to shout. This isn't what was promised!

"Hey, what I said was that when your shooting ability reaches 15, your theoretical shooting percentage could indeed be between 70% and 80%. But that's theoretical data, okay? Do you know what theoretical data means? It assumes there are no defenders in front of you, no spectators around you, you aren't affected by any outside interference, and your physical condition is perfect. Do you really think that with just 15 shooting ability, you can have about a 75% shooting percentage in an NBA game? Who do you think you are? Idiot!"

After understanding what Henry Lincoln meant, the girl shouted at him angrily. She felt a bit wronged—she was a good person, a pure child, how could she possibly trick Henry Lincoln?

"Also, let me tell you, not to mention your 15 shooting ability is nothing special—even players with 20 shooting ability are common throughout NBA history. Even in this timeline, there are more than a dozen players in the NBA with 20 shooting ability. Do you see any of them with a 75% shooting percentage?"

"With your current 15 shooting ability, considering your physical condition, state, hidden attributes, and the intensity of the NBA, your mid-range shooting percentage reaching even 30% is impossible, even if the defender guarding you is only a C-level defender!"

"If you have this skill, then even if all your other attributes besides shooting, jumping, and balance are trash, as long as you get a chance to play in the NBA, over the course of a season, your shooting percentage would never drop below 40% under normal circumstances."

"And more importantly, this skill ignores stamina. Even if you take thirty, forty, or even fifty shots in a game, your shooting form won't break down. If you're lucky, you could take 46 shots in a game and have a real chance at scoring 81 points. Of course, if your luck is bad that day, you might go 17-for-47 too!"
