Wayne looked at the few growth points left in his hand and thought about his future development direction.

In this era, NBA teams still attach great importance to the inside.

The greatest value of an inside player is his dominance in the penalty area.

You may not be able to score at the basket, but as long as your defense at the basket is good enough, you won't have to worry about not being able to make a living.

Ben Wallace, who has almost no independent offensive ability, is able to thrive in the NBA because of his excellent interior defense.

A certain African center of unknown age also relied on his excellent interior defense to become an All-Star starter three times.

If you don't have superb offensive skills at the basket and excellent frame protection ability, it's really hard to do anything in this era.

The space power forward was not a popular concept in 2003. He could not survive in the NBA if he could only shoot but not defend.

Thinking about how miserable the future Italian No. 1 pick Bargnani has been, it is not difficult to imagine the end of an inside man who can only shoot.

So Wayne decided that after improving his three-point shooting ability, he should increase his ability to defend inside.

Whether it's 2003 or 2020, players who play good defense are always the most popular.

Who said that 3D players are only for outsiders? Wayne just wants to be a 3D player at the fourth position!

But with different attributes such as interior defense and shooting, the composition of this ability is very complex.

Judging from the abilities that have been unlocked so far, if you want to become a defensive gate, then the three attributes of blocking, strength and interior defense are indispensable.

Among them, Wayne's strength is in urgent need of improvement. But even if he invests all the remaining points, his strength will not be significantly improved.

Moreover, recent training has increased Wayne's strength by 1 point. In other words, in addition to krypton growth points, training can also increase ability values.

Since the base value is too low, it is relatively easy for Wayne to improve his strength through training.

Strength can be trained. Almost all players will go through a process of physical changes after entering the NBA, which is actually a process of strength growth.

Even Shaq only became fat after several years in the league.

Very few players are at their peak as soon as they enter the league.

Generally speaking, strength can be made up for through hard work.

But other things cannot be learned simply by practicing.

Wayne's talent is just that much. If he can become a superstar just by practicing, why does he need a system?

So Wayne decided to train his strength on his own for the time being. When he reaches a bottleneck and can no longer improve, he will use growth points to push forward.

At the moment, it is better to reserve points for some attributes that are not easy to develop.

Then, only blocking and low post defense are left.

Blocking and low-post defense should not be confused. For example, many floor-playing insiders do not have much blocking data, but their actual defensive effects are very good.

Because even if they cannot complete the block, they can effectively interfere with the opponent's shooting and force the opponent to hit the iron.

The ultimate goal of the defense is to prevent the opponent from scoring goals.

So as long as you can make the opponent hit the ball, even if you don't block the shot, it's a good defense.

But Wayne can't do this, because defense cannot simply use data to reflect the quality.

Without the ability to use data to reflect good or bad performance, Wayne will not be able to maximize his value in front of coaches and scouts.

Think about it, if Wayne averages 0.3 blocks per game, no matter how superb his interior defense is, many people will subconsciously think that Wayne is not a good rim protector.

But if Wayne's number of blocks can increase, even if his defensive ability is not actually that good, it will give people the illusion that "this guy is full of dominance in the penalty area."

In Wayne's previous life, Marcus Camby, the Defensive Player of the Year Award winner in the 2006-07 season, did this.

That season, Duncan led the Spurs to the league's best defensive efficiency, while Camby's Nuggets were a mid-to-low defensive team.

Many people believe that the Defensive Player of the Year award that year should have gone to Duncan.

So why could Camby beat Duncan to win the Defensive Player of the Year trophy?

It's because Camby's defensive statistics are so dazzling.

In the 2006-07 season, Camby averaged 3.3 blocks per game, leading the league in blocks that season. At the same time, he also averaged 9.3 defensive rebounds per game.

But anyone who has watched the Nuggets game knows that Camby's defense at that time basically didn't get stuck, ignored his opponents, and only focused on blocking shots and backcourt rebounds. The statistics were good, but the actual defensive effect was a mess.

But so what? The Defensive Player of the Year award is still in hand.

This is the power of data.

There is a saying, Marcus Camby's defensive ability was worth real money when he was young, but he suffered the disadvantage of not being appreciated for his good defense.

Therefore, in the middle and later stages of his career, he began to go further and further on the road of improving data.

Ironically, Camby got bigger and bigger contracts and more honors because of this...

Wayne doesn't want to be a data brusher, but he doesn't want to suffer from data either.

To put it bluntly... I just want to brush it up!

Since you can't improve your defensive ability all at once, then give others the illusion that you are good at defending!

After weighing the pros and cons, Wayne decided to invest all the remaining growth points in blocking shots.

With 8 points of blocking attributes, Wayne spent 1,800 growth points, and his blocking ability value increased from 46 to 54.

If this ability value is calculated based on NBA standards, then 54 blocks is probably not weak in the NCAA.

After confirming the extra points, Wayne still has 10 opportunities to add points.

He can choose to use these 10 opportunities immediately as soon as he accumulates growth points, or he can choose to save them until he upgrades again and digest them together.

However, Wayne still wants to improve his attributes immediately after obtaining growth points. At this stage, he must become stronger immediately, and there is no time to "trust the process".

After adding points, the prompt at the bottom of the system also changed to "Growth points required to unlock the next stage of the system: 10,000."

"Do you need 10,000 growth points for the next upgrade? Compared with the first time, it has increased ten times. But...it's just a piece of cake!"

Wayne smiled proudly. At first, it was difficult for Wayne to save 1,000 points. But now that he has found the two special skills of the card system bug, even 10,000 points does not feel like much to Wayne.

He earned more than 3,000 growth points in one day today. Doesn't it only take three or four days to save 10,000 points?

Even if we remove the growth points that Wayne needs to use to add attributes along the way, that one week is definitely enough to upgrade.

Becoming a starter in two months is definitely feasible!

Wayne, who was confident with his confidence, was about to close the system interface, but the system suddenly popped up a line of text and made a "ding" sound.

"The mission system has been unlocked, the first mission: prove strength.

Mission goal: Become the team's starter before the start of the new season.

Mission reward: One B-level lottery bag."

"Mission system?" Wayne scratched his head. It seems that this upgraded new version of the ship is not just as simple as adding a few visible attributes to Wayne.

Regarding this task, Wayne has nothing to complain about. After all, his goal is to break into the starting lineup.

But this mission rewards...

The lottery package should be similar to opening a box.

When thinking about his embarrassing experience of unboxing, Wayne felt very desperate.

It's not good for you to give a reward, but you rewarded me with an item that was opened out of the box. As someone of African descent, I can't find any good stuff.

Look at the big heart shooter badge that he drew last time. Wayne still doesn’t know what to use it for.

Well, be sure to wash your face before the next draw!

As soon as Wayne turned off the system interface, the dormitory door was opened.

Wayne then remembered that before he left for training this morning, his short, rich and handsome roommate Cody Brandt had not returned yet...

If he doesn't show up again, Wayne will forget about this roommate.

"Oh my God, Wayne, you don't know how crazy last night was. I changed two in one night... Hey man, why do you have a bandage on your head? What happened? Who bullied you?

?”

When Cody entered the door and saw the bandage on Wayne's head, his expression immediately became serious.

Just as I remembered, Cody and Wayne did have a good relationship.

Cody has a flamboyant personality, while Wayne in the past was very kind, quiet and willing to listen. Their personalities complement each other perfectly.

There will be no problem getting along with each other.

"You may not believe it, but I was hit by a car yesterday."

Let alone Cody, Wayne himself didn't believe it. So many things happened in just two days.

"What? Has the perpetrator been found?"

"The hospital he sent me to paid all my medical bills, and he also said I could get a discount on dining at his restaurant. Don't worry, Cody, I'm fine. I even went to train today. It's just some skin trauma."

"Oh my god, you scared me to death! Fortunately, you're okay. So, I told you not to go running early in the morning, but don't you think it would be nice to just run a few laps in the school?"

Cody breathed a sigh of relief, and after confirming that Wayne was fine, he continued the topic: "By the way, where did I just talk? Oh, it's such a pity that you didn't go yesterday, Wayne, those new school girls are so awesome
