Who will be the role players now that everyone's been reborn?

November 2004, another autumn.

Lawrence Joel Memorial Stadium, the home arena of Wake Forest University.

University fans and local enthusiasts chanted in unison, the sound waves of their cheers echoing throughout the arena.

"Beat.KY.Wildcats!!"

"Beat.KY.Wildcats!!"

"..."

With the help of the sexy and hot cheerleaders, the waves of sound kept coming one after another.

The arena, which can hold 14665 spectators, is currently creating a formidable home-court atmosphere, applying pressure in order to defeat their first opponent in the 04/05 NCAA preseason.

The Kentucky Wildcats... that's their Chinese name.

Its English name is Kentucky Wildcats.

Off the court, Chen Dong, a handsome young man of 19, sat on the bench like an ant, watching everything on the court with envy. Although his face was calm, he felt a sense of urgency.

Are you getting anxious?

No, it's because he's too eager to improve!

The answer is that he was reborn too!!

A person like him should have lived a brilliant life, so how did he end up as a nobody playing a minor role in an NCAA game?

After reflecting on it, I realized this is not scientifically sound!

Moreover, he really did work hard, but unfortunately...

"The difference between being a reborn person is just too great!"

The standard setup for someone reborn is to become stronger simply by forging iron, and they even have the strongest boss as a friend, so they can go out and farm iron points anytime, well, even at 4 a.m.

Even if things don't go well, being attacked by haters can make him stronger. He also has a boss who's good at managing people to help him attract haters. You become like those you associate with, so everyone improves in the same way.

Even worse, you start with a superstar template, like Barkley, Durant, Curry, and all sorts of attributes, and then you're like God wearing a jersey, dominating the game like a machine... And then there's always a villain who's indignant and doesn't know any better, jumping out with their eyes closed to trample on the protagonist, and then... Ding! Experience points delivered to your door.

And mine? This is it…”

Your current ability rating is: [University Level, Average]

To unlock the next stage, [College Draft Level], you need 20000 more Hexagonal Values.

"Hexagonal value: 5800".

"..."

With a thought, Chen Dong clicked on [Hexagon Value: 5800/20000], and the panel entered a new page, where two horizontal experience value bars came into view.

One is called offense, and the other is defense.

Above the attack bar, there are three small grooves of different colors.

Chen Dong had another idea, and the offensive bar was broken down into three pieces: scoring, assists, and support.

The defensive bars are broken down into: blocks, steals, and rebounds.

Collecting all 6 fragments won't summon the dragon, but it will grant Chen Dong a hexagonal value that makes him stronger.

"Why!"

In reality, Chen Dong sighed inwardly.

When Chen Dong first obtained the hexagonal basketball system, he also fantasized about becoming a hairspray dragon, bringing his talent to the NBA, and being unstoppable, at least to become the vice GOAT.

Even if you can't be the highest mountain, you can still wade through the longest river.

but……

It's completely useless!

wrong!

It worked, but he messed it up!

To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself.

No one could possibly turn to the last page to see the sentence: "One can cultivate without castration."

The Hexagonal Basketball System, as the name suggests, is probably, oops, it's definitely designed to train the host to become an all-rounder in six sports.

Chen Dong opened the beginner's gift pack, grinning as he added half of his attribute points to various physical attributes and the other half to various technical attributes, making sure to distribute them evenly.

In high school, Chen Dong made a name for himself with this move and successfully received an offer of admission to Wake Forest University with a full scholarship.

However, in his freshman year of college, his momentum took a sharp turn for the worse. Chen Dong gradually fell behind and became a fallen genius. Because his skills were too versatile, he was labeled as "a jack of all trades, master of none" after only half a season.

A jack of all trades, master of none; Chen Dong is a prime example.

At the end of the season, Chen Dong was completely dropped from the team's starting small forward position.

At this moment, Chen Dong, having chosen a comprehensive hexagonal career path, found himself in the awkward situation of being an unemployed college graduate.

The hiring unit requires at least one year of work experience, with preference given to those with three years of work experience.

College graduates: No work experience, no job; no job, no work experience, no job...

"What use is your hexagonal system to me!"

With a sigh, Chen Dong closed the panel, wishing he could change the hexagonal value to a black iron value or a black powder value.

That way he can tell stories of young heroes and those who achieve great things at a young age.

Instead of saying that if you can't get on the field, you can't get the hexagonal value, and if you can't get the hexagonal value, you can't grow bigger and stronger, and you can only take the path of survival, telling the story of the Sword God of Shili Slope.

With the help of the system, Chen Dong believed that he wouldn't need to spend four years like Duncan; he only needed two and a half years of practice to make a name for himself and realize his talent.

The problem is that when Chen Dong brings his talent to the NBA, he will face the same problem that the NCAA faces, and he will be trapped in a vicious cycle called "Hexagon Town" from which he cannot escape.

Does he also need to endure three years of hardship and bide his time in the NBA?

Without the system that came with his rebirth, he accepted being bullied on the court because he couldn't compete with her talent. But now that he's been reborn and has the standard system, if he still gets bullied on the court, then what's the point of his life?

Therefore, over the past year or so, Chen Dong's success today is largely due to the system's inaction.

……

By the way, Rajon Rondo's name wasn't on the Kentucky Wildcats' starting roster; instead, he was benched and unable to move.

Is it a problem with Rondo's ability?

No, the Kentucky Wildcats are a prestigious team, and seniority matters quite a lot. After all, whose four years isn't four years?

For example, even someone as great as Jordan had to start as a substitute in North Carolina, and Vince Carter later couldn't escape this fate either.

Kobe?

Well, he didn't go to college, so he didn't need to go through these things. He just dodged the first year of the NCAA, but he couldn't escape the fifteenth year of the NBA. He also had to start from the bench to rise up.

In addition, Wildcats head coach Orlando Smith believes in a team-first basketball philosophy and that his team "does not need star players".

As a result, Rondo was unable to play, and the iconic "Cannon Punch Warning" moment he created with Chris Paul had to be put on hold.

Of course, Wildcats University, as the most winning team, holds the two records of most wins and highest winning percentage, and has a deep foundation. Although their performance last season was dismal, they only managed to win the Southeast Division championship and only made it to the Elite Eight in the Third Madness tournament.

But as an elite team, they have countless options at their disposal.

So, senior point guard Gerald Fitch took to the court to battle it out with sophomore Chris Paul at the point guard position.

Paul's advantage lies in his higher talent pool ceiling, while Gerrard's strength lies in having eaten hamburgers and salads for two more years, bringing him infinitely close to his full potential, making him relatively stronger in terms of immediate combat power.

Without the experience of playing in the NBA, Paul doesn't yet possess the skills of a point guard god. Now, facing off against this veteran in the NCAA, the young Paul really doesn't have a chance to quickly defeat him.

Regardless, Gerald Fitch did play in the NBA later in his career. Although he didn't make a name for himself, he still had some skill and talent.

Thus, the duel between the two sides was evenly matched, creating the impression of a close contest.

Ten minutes into the first half, the Devil's Deacon, led by Chris Paul, surprisingly tied the Wildcats at 19-18.

To be fair, Chris Paul is a bit pricey, but his leadership skills are outstanding.

According to Skip Prossel, the Devil's Deacon's head coach, with Chris Paul as the cornerstone and a core point guard dribbling and breaking through, they can take advantage of the "home court advantage" to devour this sleeping wildcat.

As the game progressed, Chris Paul had figured out Gerald Fitch and was beginning to dominate his opponent.

In the stands, Hornets scout Leonard Jesse witnessed everything on the court. His eyes lit up, realizing that he had overestimated Chris Paul's talent but had underestimated him.

In short: Basketball is not about who is taller or stronger!

"Chris, give it your all!"

"No matter how you look at it, your talent advantage is in your hands!"

Believe in yourself, you can do it, take down Gerald Fitch...

Skipprossel shouted loudly into the field.

only……

Prosser's motivational instructions were not a panacea. The young Paul's abilities were limited, and he was unable to quickly defeat Gerald Fitch. Instead, he was slapped in the face by the reality on the court.

On the field...

Wearing the Wildcats' number 7 jersey, Azubuike took a step forward with the ball, raised both hands to shoot a three-pointer, and after shaking off the defender's center of gravity, he suddenly accelerated and sprinted like a gust of wind, leaving Kerryviser behind. He drove into the paint, took off with a powerful step, blocked with his left hand, and slammed his right hand into the basket...

Clang!

The flank of the Devil's Deacon team was easily breached.

Immediately afterwards, it was Azubucker again. He showed no sign of stopping and continued to lift the ball for a three-point pull-up jump shot.

Swish-!

The knife falls, the ball goes in.

Keliwese's defensive movements were as if they had been paused, unable to keep up with Azubuk's offensive rhythm.

Next, led by Azubuk's inside and outside shooting, scoring 8 consecutive points, the Wildcats went on a 17-9 run against the Devil's Team, taking the lead.

Wake Forest University didn't get to see Chris Paul dominate Gerald Fitch; instead, they were met with a scoring outburst from Kentucky's star player, Azubuke, who turned the tables on his former team.

Prosser actively directed the team's strategy, attempting to move Chris Ellis, who plays power forward, to the small forward position in an effort to neutralize Azubuk's offensive firepower.

This guy was a defensive stalwart, and it worked. Azu stopped attacking, but Chuck Hayes under the basket went berserk again.

Kyrie Vither was playing inside, but Hayes used his physical strength to overpower him, dominating him without saying a word, and he was completely unstoppable.

At this moment, Orlando Steve's basketball philosophy shines through: his team doesn't need superstars, because every player is a superstar.

Azubuk!

Hayes!

Maurice Randolph!

Gerald Fitch!

Joe Crawford!!

Once upon a time, they were all talented players from the surrounding villages.

We don't accept trash here; genius is just the threshold for joining the Kentucky Wildcats.

Neither Azubuk's offensive flash nor Hayes's rampage were accidental; they were manifestations of their true strength.

And Wake Forest University's only notable talent is Chris Paul.

Having just gained a slight advantage in a one-on-one matchup against Gerald Fitch, they immediately found themselves trapped in a double-team tactic set up by the University of Kentucky.

Should Chris Paul be allowed to kill Gerald Fitch?

Such a situation will never occur on the field, at least not now.

"Chen Dong!!"

Prosser, unable to bear it any longer, roared, "It's your turn!"

"Keep a close eye on that damn number 7, don't let him continue his rampage and break the balance on the field."

Let's get the game back on track...

Adong stepped in at a critical moment, replacing Kailiviser, who was being completely outmatched in every position.

"A player from Tokyo University?"

Stop embarrassing yourself on the basketball court, go home and play your pool!

"You can't handle basketball!!"

Azubuk said provocatively.

Chen Dong didn't retaliate with words; he preferred to let the ball do the talking.
