NBA Game: Starting with the LeBron James Template

"Doncic has a hamstring strain and is expected to miss the first round of the playoffs."

"Reeves is out injured and will need to rest for 4-6 weeks."

"The Lakers, who are among the top four in the West, will be led by veteran LeBron James to challenge for the final ranking."

"This is a great opportunity for him to prove himself again!"

Ye Yao looked at these NBA news items and was somewhat speechless.

The Lakers are gone.

See you next season.

Whether they drop to fourth place to play the Rockets or stay in third place to play the Timberwolves, it will be difficult.

As a Lakers fan for decades, Ye Yao watched helplessly as the Lakers plummeted after Kobe's two consecutive championships.

From 2010 to now, it has been 16 years, but they have only won one championship in terms of shrinkage.

This is indeed a bit meager for the Lakers, one of the two giants of the NBA.

Ye Yao closed the sports app, casually opened a video app, and lay half-reclined on the bed, intending to play on her phone for a while.

But when he picked up his phone again, the screen had jumped to an unknown location.

The page above shows a game download page.

"These apps are just ridiculously bad!" he said angrily.

Every time I open an app, if my hand shakes or I accidentally touch it, more than one, two, or three other interfaces will automatically open.

You can come back with just one click, but it's really annoying!

It feels like I have no control over my phone.

He was about to switch back when he suddenly realized that his phone was already downloading a game.

Upon closer inspection, the name is: NBA Live Basketball.

"What kind of pirated game is this?" Ye Yao tried to pause the download, but the progress bar finished in a flash, giving him no chance.

Looking at the already installed game, Ye Yao pressed her finger on it, preparing to uninstall it.

Why don't you give it a try?

He hesitated just as he was about to click uninstall.

After thinking about it, I decided to open the game software anyway.

The game interface is a blank white screen when you open it.

Ye Yao then discovered that he had left his bed, and all around him was a white light.

Welcome to the NBA!

A passionate and stirring voice suddenly rang out in the void.

[The current season is 2003-2004. As you are the first player to click and enter the game, you have received that year's number one draft pick as your template.]

LeBron James.

[You're about to be infused with the genes of a professional athlete.]

"James?" Ye Yao asked, somewhat puzzled. It wasn't that he hadn't played NBA games before.

It's common to choose a star player at the start of the game.

He was puzzled by what it meant to inject the player's genes.

The very next second, he felt his body getting hot.

Then a warm current flowed into my body.

His body swelled up at a visible rate, and his height increased rapidly.

Aside from his skin and appearance remaining unchanged, he has become like a giant.

[You've been infused with LeBron James's DNA; congratulations on being selected first overall by the Cavaliers!]

The Cavaliers' owner has promised to build the team around you as its absolute core.

[Next, you can choose your teammates within the salary range and begin your NBA career.]

After listening to the voice's introduction, Ye Yao found himself in a basketball court.

He checked his body.

I discovered that he really has become just like those big men in the NBA, with well-developed muscles and a burly physique.

With a light jump, one can reach a height of over 1 meter.

I tried it out with the basketball, and dunking at the rim was as easy as drinking water.

Moreover, after dunking, he also had a real sense of exerting force in his body.

"So this is a game that you experience firsthand?" Ye Yao said excitedly.

This game feels so realistic.

This is more exciting than any game I've ever played before!

The original games I played before could only be controlled with a gamepad.

No matter how impressive the stats are or how realistic the game is, nothing can compare to the immersive feeling we have right now.

Just as he was about to continue experiencing it,

The Cavaliers' owner, Gilbert, walked into the basketball court with his bodyguards and secretary, and stopped in front of Ye Yao with a smile on his face.

"Ye Yao, the top draft pick from the great Eastern country, it's a pleasure to meet you. I hope we can make NBA history together!"

Gilbert said to Ye Yao.

Ye Yao scratched his head, feeling a little strange; he hadn't gotten used to this type of game yet.

Moreover, it's quite strange for a foreigner to speak fluent Chinese.

"I've already arranged trials for several players; the decision of who to sign is entirely up to you!"

After Gilbert finished speaking, a table appeared in front of Ye Yao.

The boss sat down next to him.

There are two signs on the table, an X and a √.

"If you have a favorite player, select √; if you don't, select X," Gilbert explained.

Ye Yao nodded: "Okay."

In his view, there weren't many good options in the free market in 2003.

I doubt I'll be able to find any good teammates.

Soon, a door outside the court suddenly opened, and a person carrying a basketball walked in.

Ye Yao's eyes widened immediately.

Because the person who came was named Michael Jordan, and he was the younger version of him.

In other words, it's Jordan at his peak.

"This... such a perfect start!!!" Ye Yao was a little excited.

He received LeBron James's genetic template, and his boss obeyed him without question, immediately giving him a prime Jordan.

Wouldn't that make it easy to establish a dynasty in the following matches?

While excited, Ye Yao also felt a little bored.

This lineup is a bit too overpowered.

Before Jordan could even demonstrate his abilities during the interview, Ye Yao placed her hand on the checkmark.

But when he picked it up, the checkmark had turned into an X!

"What are you doing?" Ye Yao felt that annoyance again, like opening one app only to be redirected to another.

"You don't even want Jordan?" Gilbert was somewhat surprised, his eyes filled with admiration as he looked at Ye Yao!

"He has guts! He's perfect to be the core player of my Cavaliers team!"

Jordan left with a dark expression after Gilbert's praise.

Of course, he was originally a Black man, so Ye Yao couldn't say whether his face was actually dark.

Ye Yao was on the verge of tears. If she let Jordan go, would she have any good teammates left?

[Jordan? He's just a bigger DeRozan. Get out of here, don't try to compare yourself to our greatest of all time!]

Ye Yao suddenly heard this voice.

He turned his head and looked, but did not see the person who had spoken.

Before he could figure it out, another black man walked in.

This man was tall, but not as muscular as Ye Yao. Upon closer inspection, he was an old acquaintance.

Hakeem Olajuwon, the Dream!

Ye Yao breathed a sigh of relief. Even without Jordan, having Olajuwon wasn't bad.

This is a legendary figure known worldwide for his dreamlike footwork.

Ye Yao grabbed the checkmark sign with lightning speed. This time he saw it clearly; it was definitely a checkmark!

Just then, Ye Yao heard the same voice again: [Olajuwon? Get lost! He actually refunded my Royal Tuition!]

Don't give him a chance to ride on LeBron James's championship wave!

After the voice finished speaking, Ye Yao was shocked to find that the checkmark in her hand had turned into an X.

"As expected, you didn't even approve of Olajuwon. Now I'm curious about your choice!" Gilbert continued with a smile.

Ye Yao looked at him with a forced smile.

He was internally screaming, "Damn it, who's interfering with my selection process?!"
