MM Racing Chapter 3 The Idiot Task of the Downtime System
Chapter 3 The Idiot Task of the Downtime System
The next day, Lin Ze didn't wake up until noon. He moved one leg, then another, off his body before getting out of bed, changing his clothes, and then leaving O'Neill's villa.
He failed to achieve the feat of hitting 10 shots last night, only managing 3.
But that's not important. What's important is that from now on, he needs to conserve his energy. Even if O'Neal brings Miho Nakayama and Norika Fujiwara tonight, Lin Ze won't... well, he might just bomb Tokyo again.
For the next two days, Lin Ze only planned to do one thing: rest, to get a good rest and bring his energy and physical strength to their best!
Oh, there's one more thing. The new main quest has been refreshed. Lin Ze, who was initially looking forward to it, ignored it after seeing the quest details.
Main Quest: Aim for the Rookie Tournament!
"Making it into the Rising Stars Challenge is the goal and honor of every rookie. Give it your all and strive to make it into the Rising Stars Challenge!"
Rising Stars Challenge? What the hell am I supposed to do with the Rising Stars Challenge?! This is my fourth year! Even if I averaged 50+25 this season, I still wouldn't make the Rising Stars Challenge!
Does he really intend to retire from the NBA and play in the CBA rookie tournament?
Does the CBA have a rookie season at this time?
System crash!
Lin Ze cursed under his breath, feeling somewhat helpless. In this situation, he could only wait for the mission to fail and then refresh. It should refresh, right? Hopefully, the next mission will be more reliable.
Putting his mentally challenged task out of his mind, he called his agent, Schwartz, and asked him to find three professional training teams in Los Angeles to be on standby at any time, even at four in the morning.
Schwartz was one of the best agents of the early 21st century. He was known in the league for his rigorous and dedicated work style. So even though Lin Ze was just one of the many players under his management, Schwartz was still very responsible and made several phone calls to Lin Ze in less than half an hour.
There are three groups of trainers: one group focuses on three-point shooting, another on defense, and finally, Graves arranges the training plan!
After waiting at home for two days, Lin Ze finally received news from Grover that the "devil trainer" would arrive at the Lakers' training facility at 3 p.m. So, Lin Ze arrived at the training facility at 9 p.m. the night before.
They also brought a large box of energy drinks and supplies such as chocolate, bananas, and energy bars to quickly restore energy.
When Lin Ze entered the arena, there were already four people waiting there. This was the coaching staff from UCLA, who were best at improving players' shooting abilities.
Lin Ze didn't waste any words. He took off his clothes and warmed up with the trainers. After his body was thoroughly warmed up, Lin Ze looked at the trainers and asked, "Shall we begin?"
Basic basketball training is extremely tedious!
Mechanized shooting drills are also quite boring.
But shooting is the foundation of Lin Ze's career in the NBA.
Last season, he played 41 games as the starting power forward for the Mavericks, led by the madman Don Nelson. He averaged 13 points and 5 rebounds per game, and made 4 three-pointers per game with a 33% success rate.
Last season, Lin Ze achieved career highs in almost all positive statistics.
This was also a major reason why Jackson traded him to the Lakers. After all, if Lin Ze couldn't get any playing time, even if he was a close confidant, Jackson couldn't persuade West to make a trade.
Lin Ze knew very well that O'Neal didn't need a traditional post-up center by his side.
During his Magic days, "Cobra" Grant had a pretty good mid-range shot.
Therefore, for Lin Ze, instead of trying to fix his weaknesses, he should focus on improving his strengths and making them more prominent. This way, he can get more playing time and better stats with the Lakers!
With a thought, Lin Ze used the 200x Effort Card. After experiencing it for a while, he frowned.
I don't feel anything? Could it be that the rewards from this system crash have expired?
However, after releasing the basketball, Lin Ze abandoned that idea.
"Whoosh!"
As soon as the three-pointer was launched, Lin Ze immediately felt a sense of disbelief.
After making that shot, he felt that both his shooting rhythm and shooting form had improved significantly.
It's a strange feeling. It's not that Lin Ze's three-point shooting percentage will increase from 33% to 33.1% after this shot, since he usually shoots hundreds of shots in training.
But that kind of benefit comes one goal at a time.
And now, the feeling of the benefits of 200 balls exploding into my body is both comfortable and mysterious.
This is the effect of a 200x Effort Card!
……
Three hours passed quickly, and all four trainers were panting. Lin Ze glanced at the time and said, "Take a break! If you're tired, you can call in more people."
"Don't worry, I'll pay extra!"
One of the four immediately went to make phone calls to call for more people.
Lin Ze casually applied ice to his knees on the sidelines, while simultaneously verifying one of his conjectures.
If he had trained for three hours straight before, he would have been exhausted long ago, but now he feels that he still has energy to spare.
There's only one reason for this! It's that the few seconds, or even fractions of a second, of rest he gets between each shot gives him an extra rest boost!
Now, after Lin Ze downed a sip of energy drink and then ate most of an energy bar, his guess was confirmed.
Because he instantly stopped feeling hungry and tired, and instantly felt that he had regained the energy he had when he arrived in the morning!
The 200x Effort Card's boost also includes rest! The boost he gains when resting and replenishing his energy is also 200x!
"Come on!" Lin Ze, now more energetic after confirming the new continent, took off his vest and stepped onto the court.
The trainer who made the call hasn't even returned yet!
The remaining three looked at each other, stunned.
After practicing for three hours, you only get a three-minute break?
"Hurry up!" Time is limited and absolutely cannot be wasted. Ignoring the trainers, he shot another three-pointer.
The three of them didn't dare to say anything more and quickly stepped forward to help. This was the boss, and if the boss wanted to practice, they could only accompany him!
Then, another three hours passed.
Now, only Lin Ze and two trainers who arrived later are still standing on the field.
The first four people were already lying on the ground, no different from dead dogs.
Lin Ze's perpetual motion-like physical strength truly impressed them!
so horrible!
"Boss, can you tell us how you trained your physical fitness?" One of the trainers immediately did a backflip, ready to train Lin Ze.
"Talent!" Lin Ze replied dismissively, quite seriously.
He then walked to the sidelines to replenish his energy, but suddenly remembered something. He walked to the sidelines to verify another of his conjectures.
