Chapter 2: A ridiculous system that makes people want to retire as soon as they enter the NBA!
In his previous life, Lin Tian relied on the wealth accumulated by his parents to make the family business better and better and bigger! He even successfully led the family business to complete financing and list on the A-share market before he was 45 years old!
However, in order to work and make money, Lin Tian's lifestyle and habits were terrible. Especially when he was young, he would get drunk almost every day because of social engagements. Before he was 30, he was already overweight and in very poor shape. After he turned 40, his health problems became more and more obvious.
Finally, at the age of 50, Lin Tian died from various complications!
However, Lin Tian, who thought his life had come to an end, found himself back in his youth when he opened his eyes!
He is reborn!
Everything was the same as in his previous life, except for the memories in his soul!
After a wave of surprise and joy, Lin Tian quickly accepted his current situation and decided that he would live a completely different life!
The first thing he gave up was going into business. In his previous life, Lin Tian never relaxed for a single day in pursuit of his business empire. Pressure, alcoholism, social engagements, and all these factors combined led to his untimely death.
Lin Tian wants to live a comfortable life!
Live happily!
Pick up those "low-level interests" that you ignored in your past life!
This is actually one of the biggest reasons he chose psychology: it's easy!
In his previous life, Lin Tian pursued a master's degree in psychology at the University of Pennsylvania at a young age in order to be invincible in the business world!
In other words, he didn't come here to study for the past four years; he came here to review!
At the same time, Lin Tian also picked up his favorite sport from his previous life: basketball!
Compared to his previous life, where he left his peak early and could only dominate in employee matches, even though he often scored 100 points in a single game, he could only crush his young subordinates.
But this time, he started practicing basketball very early on, and eventually played his way through NCAA March Madness!
Everything was so wonderful, except for one thing that made Lin Tian very unhappy and very painful.
That is, it wasn't until his senior year of college that he woke up one day and saw a message floating in front of him.
"The Basketball Talent Emotion System has been loaded! Complete the initial tasks to unlock it!"
"Initial Mission: Enter the NBA!"
"Mission Reward: The ultimate talent of three top athletes!"
Lin Tian's first reaction upon seeing the cheat code was ecstatic joy! Excitement!
The most outstanding talents of three athletes!
And it was explicitly stated that they are top athletes!
So, he could have Jordan's mid-range shot, Miller's three-pointer, Olajuwon's footwork, Barkley's power, Chamberlain's numbers... he could have it all!
If he's lucky, Lin Tian might just get Iverson's speed and O'Neal's destructive power! Wouldn't that make him invincible?
The legendary 2-meter Iverson, the hardworking Shaq, the rational Kobe, Curry + Jordan...
Tut tut...
Although he was a boss in his previous life, reading fantasy novels was one of his hobbies!
He has read quite a few of the novels that became popular in later generations!
He was all too familiar with cheat codes and cheat devices!
Me, a reborn being, the chosen one of destiny, winning the lottery is a piece of cake for me, and I always get the best of everything.
But then, once the initial excitement wore off... Lin Tian realized what was happening and started cursing in anger!
You better come out sooner!
Even if it means risking his life and pulling strings, Lin Tian wants to get into a traditional basketball powerhouse like Duke, North Carolina, or Kansas. In those schools, the players, coaches, training levels, and exposure are all ten times better than Penn, which nobody even watches.
Unfortunately, he's already a senior, and even if he wanted to transfer to UCLA and take the most difficult path to bring his talent there, it's too late! And given Penn's current academic record and media exposure, Lin Tian is unlikely to be drafted by the NBA; even if he returned to China to play in the CBA, he might have to start from the youth team or second-tier team...
If things continue like this, who knows when the system will finally awaken!
But I, Lord Lin, can't just commit suicide again and try to be reborn, can I?
Left with no other choice, Lin Tian could only work twice as hard and train like crazy during his senior year, while also relentlessly urging his teammates to work together as well.
Finally, they made it into NCAA March Madness, and Lin Tian himself, although he was only selected in the second round, 52nd overall, finally made it into the NBA!
After being drafted by the Bulls as if in a dream, Lin Tian, who had seen countless storms in his past life, was still in a daze and in a daze before going on stage to complete the process of taking photos and being interviewed.
Upon returning to the hotel, Lin Tian immediately activated his system!
"The initial tasks for the Basketball Talent Emotion System have been completed. Do you wish to activate the system and claim the rewards?"
"yes!"
With excitement, Lin Tian activated the system and received the mission rewards!
Then, he was stunned!
He was stunned on the spot, and then Lin Tian had the idea that he should just retire instead of playing in the NBA!
Because none of the three talents he identified were those of a basketball player!
It wasn't until this moment that Lin Tian finally realized... the system was talking about the talent of three top athletes, not the talent of three top basketball players!
What a huge misunderstanding!
The three athletes that Lin Tian selected were indeed very famous and absolutely deserved the title of the world's top athletes!
"Tom Brady's passing, playmaking, and game reading ability: The all-seeing eye!"
"Floyd Mayweather's fighting techniques: Pretty boy!"
"Usain Bolt's speed-related physical attribute: Lightning Speed!"
These three athletes and their three talents are absolutely among the world's best!
Tom Brady and Usain Bolt are among the top in their respective industries, the GOAT level!
The problem is, none of these three are basketball players!
It's not that Lin Tian can't use these abilities; on the contrary, he can use them all in the competition, and they are all very useful. But how should I put it?
Compared to playing basketball, wouldn't it be better for Lin Tian to use his talent to play in the NFL, sprint, or boxing? Why take a roundabout route?
How tiring! And so inefficient!
Just retire right now! I'm not playing anymore. Although I, Lin Tian, love basketball, after living in the United States for the past few years, the boxing ring and the NFL field are also among my greatest loves!
Just do it!
Retire immediately!
Just as Lin Tian had this thought pop into his head—that since he hadn't signed with the team yet, he might as well not sign and find another way out—the system's voice rang out again.
"If the host doesn't play in the NBA, their current talent will not be fully utilized!"
What is that?
Although Lin Tian hadn't looked in a mirror, he was certain that his face was green!
This lousy system is a complete disaster!
They even restrict professions?
Why is it that other people's systems can do whatever they want and treat their hosts like their own fathers?
God, you've been so unfair to me!
