Volume 1: Those Years in Philadelphia Chapter 37: Su Feng comprehending life!
Seeing Su Feng stumped by his question, Kobe decided not to disturb him for the time being.
After all, in Kobe's opinion, this question really needs some thought (Note ①)...
Unfortunately, Su Feng couldn't figure it out at this moment.
Otherwise, if Su Feng knew what Kobe was thinking, he would definitely say to him: This doesn't even require a moment of thought!
Look up at the sky!
calm!
reason!
8 Be impulsive!
As a young blacksmith equipped with the "Heart of Iron" and whose blacksmithing skills are becoming more and more mature, the always "stable" Su Feng decided to make a rational analysis first.
First of all, judging from the two tasks released by the system, the only difference is whether or not to skip college.
Then, one difficulty is normal and one difficulty is nightmare.
“Task 1 is [The prudent side is the wise choice].
Indeed, no matter from which aspect, and according to my previous plan...
Going to college to further enhance your reputation and hone your skills is the surest way to get into the NBA."
After checking the gift package rewards of [The Steady Side is the Wise Choice] and the other 58 systems included after completing this task, Su Feng quickly did some calculations in his mind.
According to the literal meaning of the system, Su Feng’s current system will be the final version after upgrading to version 7.0.
So now Su Feng's system version is 6.0, which is also the level of an NBA second-round pick.
As for the next version 7.0, if nothing unexpected happens, according to the system's previous upgrade rules, it should be at the level of an NBA first-round pick.
Therefore, that is to say, no matter which of the two tasks you choose, after entering the NBA, this system will usher in a "brand new" upgrade.
Among all 58 system versions of [The Steady Side is the Wise Choice], the best one is [Peak at Debut].
"If I draw this system, my ability to play in the NBA will start as a superstar...
To use 2K’s words, the starting point is 90+…”
“But if you’re unlucky and get [Nothing Special], then your potential is locked.
And judging from the precautions indicated in the system, these 58 systems have fixed potentials and cannot be further improved through some "chances."
You know, the reason why Su Feng's current strength is improving so fast is inseparable from the "opportunities" Kobe brought him.
"But apart from the fact that they are mediocre, to be honest, these templates are pretty awesome."
To be honest, if Su Feng was a weakling before, then in his opinion, these 58 systems, except for the [Mediocre] which was a bit of a scam, the others could basically guarantee that he could become a basketball star.
"And then again, even if I draw [Nothing Special], I don't have to despair, because bonuses like shooting moves, stunts, and badges can completely make up for my lack of potential value."
When he thought of this, for some reason, Su Feng wanted to find a mirror to look at himself.
Logically speaking, for such a handsome guy, 58 systems means a 1 in 58 chance. Su Feng feels that he shouldn't be so unlucky... right?
"The rewards in this golden epic gift pack are pretty good too..."
Tsk!
Su Feng felt that his saliva might flow out at any time.
Low profile.
calm.
I am an unemotional basketball player!
“Mission 2: [Path of Genius]…
You can run for election directly after graduating from high school, but there is no requirement to be in the first round.
In other words, as long as you are selected, even if you are the last one, you have completed the task. "
Unlike [The Steady Side is the Wise Choice], after completing the [Road to Genius] mission, there won't be so many fancy system upgrades.
Directly use [Genius] to lock him down.
And most importantly...
There is not even a single explanation for the system called [Genius].
"However, although I don't know whether this [Genius of Heaven] is a scam or a win, at least this golden legendary gift pack is really good..."
"And there's this 'lifetime injury immunity'."
As the name suggests, lifetime injury immunity means that as long as Su Feng can complete the task of [The Road to Genius], he will be the real Iron Man in the future.
Even, this immunity can make Su Feng shout to Stern: Boss, we will not change the HC rules, let's keep it!
What a joke! With this immunity, Su Feng is still afraid of the HC rules?
By then, wouldn’t it just be that the hit rate was a little lower?
Which great scorer didn’t achieve his success by missing shots?
Besides, can we say that the scorer missed the target?
"That's not right. According to the previous rationality of this system, why are the rewards for Task 1 and Task 2 so unequal this time?"
"Oh I see!"
"It's because of Kobe!"
That's right. From what he could see, although the upgraded system [Genius] of Mission 2 [Road to Genius] was full of unpredictability, Su Feng felt that he could not refuse it just for the lifetime immunity from injuries.
Because this is the ultimate dream of all athletes.
Just think about it, if Ronaldo hadn’t been injured, how exaggerated would his future be?
Try to think about it in your mind, assuming that Rose, Roy and others can be healthy, what will their future be like?
Hey, that's not right, why are they all from the "Lao Luo family"...
Well, Su Feng certainly knew that the English name was not based on this, but to be honest, this injury exemption was really something that could not be refused.
Because what Su Feng was most worried about before was that if he entered the NBA in this era, even with the system, if he got injured, would his career be affected?
You know, even if Su Feng has a system and knows the development rules of basketball during this period, who can guarantee that injuries can be avoided 100%?
That's why Su Feng felt that because of this immunity, the rewards for Task 1 and Task 2 were too unequal.
But soon, Su Feng reacted.
Because don't forget why the difficulty of task 1 is normal and the difficulty of task 2 is nightmare.
The reason is very simple. If Su Feng had not met Kobe, what would he be doing now?
I should... still be saving up my iron forging points in Nefaria's reserve team, right?
So, in fact, for this task issued by the system, to be precise, the system did not want Su Feng to choose Task 2.
Because even the system believed that it was impossible for Su Feng to complete this task before.
But……
The system has made all kinds of calculations, but could it have predicted that Su Feng would meet Kobe?
To put it bluntly, Kobe... is Su Feng's true human-shaped invincible plug-in!
Because of Kobe, Mission 2 [Road to Genius] was instantly reduced from nightmare difficulty to difficult difficulty.
So, this is why the rewards for Mission 2 are so generous.
Because if Su Feng decided to choose this mission, then he would participate in...
But the 1996 draft...
The golden generation of 1996, a generation full of geniuses!
So terrifying!
“If I had chosen this mission, I would have really had to convince Kobe to go into the sewer.
Fortunately, I am now in my third year of high school, and I still have the opportunity to improve my stats in my fourth year.
But even so, if I run for election, I must aim for the second round.
Because choosing high school students is a gamble, yellow players are my advantage, but also my disadvantage.
But as long as I can show some talent and get some nice statistics, plus Stern's eagerness for the Chinese market...
Then I still have a great chance of being selected in the second round. This is what we call playing it safe in the midst of waves!"
Perfect!
Su Feng felt that his ideas were simply impeccable.
"So, now I also want to understand why the task reward for [Task] 1 [The Steady Side is the Wise Choice] is set in this way."
Originally, when Su Feng saw the number 58, he thought that this system was a black artillery.
But Su Feng's mind soon came to its senses.
Because when Su Feng participates in the draft in the future, won't there only be 29 teams in the NBA?
So there are a total of 58 draft picks in the first and second rounds!
58 systems, corresponding to...
Exactly 58 draft picks!
"If I played one year in college..."
"Then I will participate in..."
"The 1997 draft!"
"And the top pick that year was—
Tim Duncan!"
"I understand. So this is what it means. [Peak at Debut] corresponds to Duncan!"
So it's random?
Because just like a draft, even the No. 1 pick will have some duds, and even the second-round pick will have some geniuses, so after completing the task [The Steady Side is the Wise Choice], the random selection made by the system during the upgrade is more like a systematic draft.
So, can this so-called random selection increase the probability of winning certain systems?
After all, since it is a systematic draft, it should also have a way to improve the "draft ranking", right?
The answer is: Yes!
Because there is such an explanation in the [Ordinary] system: the host's probability of drawing [Ordinary] will increase with the number of years in college.
There is also an explanation in [Peak at Debut], that is, if Su Feng can win the NCAA championship in his freshman year and get the MOP in the final four, then his probability of drawing [Peak at Debut] will increase by 30%.
In addition, there is also such an explanation in the [Sleeping Magician] system...
In the [Big Heart Leader] system...
In [Basketball Flying Man]...
As we all know, the reason why many freshmen will not continue their studies in the future is that you have studied for too long and NBA teams will think you have no potential.
Because the future is different from the present, current NBA teams prefer players who can fight immediately.
After all, before 1995, first-round picks could directly sign big contracts.
Therefore, many players at this time are willing to finish college, hone their skills and then join the NBA, because this way they can sign a reliable contract from the beginning of their career.
In the future, NBA teams will prefer to train their own young players, so this is why the potential of many juniors and seniors is not highly regarded when they participate in the draft.
To put it bluntly, rules will slowly change people's concepts and thus form new concepts.
Extracting a system from the 58 systems is more like a test for Su Feng.
Because if Su Feng can successfully complete the system tasks he likes in college, then his chances of drawing the system after joining the NBA will greatly increase.
However, this is not absolute.
Because just like there are geniuses falling in the NBA, before everything is settled, no one can guarantee that their NBA career will be smooth sailing.
Even as strong as LeBron James is, he definitely didn't expect that he would get not one, not two, not three, not four...
But six overall runners-up.
Therefore, in Su Feng's view, this task is to tell himself the truth of life, that is, nothing is 100% certain.
Of course, Mission 2 [Road to Genius] is also a test.
Because he participated in the draft after graduating from high school, and the draft was the 1996 draft. This was a nightmare, and if he hadn't met Kobe, would Su Feng dare to think about it?
There is no explanation for the [Genius] system. The name sounds good, but can Su Feng guarantee that this system will not be a scam?
To put it bluntly, among these geniuses who can play in the NBA, which one is not favored by God?
Su Feng is different from Duncan, Kobe, McGrady, Carter, and Iverson.
Because those people have talents far beyond ordinary people from the very beginning.
They are all gifted children.
Of course, their success is inseparable from their acquired efforts.
However, don't forget that Su Feng started out as a weakling.
Even if it is the worst system among the 58 systems, [Mediocre], isn't it stronger than Su Feng's current version 6.0 system?
Moreover, shooting moves, stunts, badges, etc. can still be obtained through lotteries and "chance".
“I don’t know who designed this system, what a genius!
I actually felt like I had a sudden understanding of life." Su Feng thought with emotion.
Su Feng had read quite a few novels in his previous life. In many of the novels about cultivating immortals, some of the protagonists were very stable and timid. But the question is, if in reality, especially in the sport of basketball, you are too stable and too timid, can you become a player like Michael Jordan?
Jordan is a gambler by nature, but if we look at everything from two sides, can we say that it is precisely because of Jordan's character of "only hard work can win" that he became the "God of Basketball".
Kobe is paranoid by nature, but if Kobe is not paranoid enough and he loses that ruthlessness towards himself, is he still Kobe?
JR Smith is naturally a brain twitch, but if JR doesn't have a brain twitch, then he...
Well, it looks like there's something weird mixed in.
"I see! But I still prefer to take my destiny into my own hands."
Task 1: Be steady but also be volatile.
Mission 2: Seek stability in the waves.
After taking a deep breath, Su Feng temporarily closed the system interface.
At this time, Su Feng discovered that Kobe was also looking at him.
After sorting out his emotions, Su Feng slowly said, "Kobe, I've decided..."
