NBA: This center is incredibly strong.

After the fans vented, the Energy Solutions Arena returned to calm.

On the field, Desmond Mason lay on the ground for a long time, unable to get up, his eyes revealing terror, his mentality completely shattered.

Seeing this, his teammates sympathetically helped him up.

No one laughed at Mason; they knew that in such a situation, they might not even have the courage to jump.

At the same time, everyone understood that Chen Yan's powerful dunk over an opponent at the free-throw line had completely sealed the game!

Although the SuperSonics are currently in the lead, with the awakening of this sleeping Eastern dragon, turning the score around is no longer a problem.

As everyone expected, the subsequent matches turned into a complete performance by Chen Yan.

On offense, they unleashed a barrage of powerful dunks; on defense, they delivered a series of blocks, dominating both ends of the court.

With Chen Yan crashing into the opposing center again and completing a one-handed dunk, the Magic have extended their lead to twenty points.

"Beep~ Magic team requests a timeout." The referee blew the whistle.

Chen Yan looked up at the big screen above the stadium and found that there were still about 7 minutes left in the game, which made him feel a little unsatisfied.

"We'll run into each other all the time, so it's not good to bully them too much," Chen Yan muttered to himself as he walked toward the bench.

As he walked toward the bench, the entire audience stood up.

It wasn't just a few scattered individuals, it was everyone.

The entire audience stood up and applauded Chen Yan.

It wasn't the polite, sporadic applause, but genuine, heartfelt, thunderous applause.

The applause was mixed with whistles, screams, cheers, and someone was shouting "MVP" at the top of their lungs.

Although this is just the Summer League.

Although this was just an insignificant warm-up match.

But everyone present knew what they had just witnessed.

They witnessed an 18-year-old boy who, after a terrible start and being ridiculed by everyone, put on what is perhaps the greatest individual performance in Summer League history in the following minutes.

Free throw line dunk, volleyball block, low post domination, reverse back dunk...

Within minutes, Chen Yan transformed from a "fake" into a "monster".

Chen Yan stopped, waved to the fans, and continued walking to the sidelines.

Van Gundy, who had been waiting for a long time, excitedly patted Chen Yan on the shoulder.

"In all my years as a coach, I've seen many talented players. Some can run, some can jump, some are strong, and some have a good touch."

"But I've never seen it before—never a 216cm tall guy can jump from the free-throw line and dunk over someone."

His voice was trembling.

It wasn't out of fear, but out of excitement.

A coach's pure, almost frenzied excitement when discovering a gem in the rough.

"You are a monster, Chen."

Van Gundy uttered the word, then paused for a moment, shook his head, and laughed.

"No, that's not right."

He corrected himself.

"The word 'monster' is not accurate enough."

He raised his head again, looked into Chen Yan's eyes, and said, word by word, "You are a monster unlike any other!"

Chen Yan looked at Van Gundy, remained silent for two seconds, and then bent down slightly.

Because he's so tall, if he doesn't bend down, talking to the coach always feels condescending.

"Thank you, coach."

Van Gundy shook his head: "You're welcome. You earned it yourself."

He patted Chen Yan's arm again, this time with more force.

"Get some rest. Unleash your talent in the upcoming matches!"

Chen Yan nodded and then returned to his seat.

His teammates gathered around him, patting his shoulder, touching his head, and giving him high-fives.

"Dude, I'll never forget that dunk you just made!"

"Free throw line! Free throw line! You fucking jumped from the free throw line!"

"Mason's probably going to have nightmares tonight, hahaha!"

Chen Yan simply smiled slightly and remained silent.

It wasn't that he didn't want to talk, but rather that he didn't know what to say.

He can't exactly say, "Actually, I played terribly at the beginning, and the system saved me," can he?

So he just smiled and accepted his teammates' congratulations.

After dealing with his teammates, Chen Yan began to study the system, and a virtual image immediately appeared in his mind:

Host: Chen Yan

Age: 18

Height: 216cm

Weight: XNUM X kg

Arm span: 234cm

Technical attributes: Ball control: 50, Passing: 60 (maximum attribute is 100)

Offensive attributes: Three-pointer: 30, Mid-range shot: 45, Dunk: 90, Free throw: 50, Post-up: 60

Defensive attributes: Rebounds: 85, Steals: 48, Blocks: 85, Help Defense: 55

Physical attributes: Speed: 60, Stamina: 60, Jump: 95, Strength: 98, Injury resistance: 60

Talent: Innate superhuman strength

Badge Slot: Spring Man (S)

Inventory: Stamina Recovery Fluid +10

A few minutes later, Chen Yan closed the virtual image in his mind and sorted through the intelligence he had obtained.

First, the system has two interfaces: an attribute panel and an emotion point exchange shop.

The redemption shop offers basketball-related items, such as: NBA star peak experience cards, C-S level badges, badge upgrade cards, badge slot expansion cards, etc.

Badges are divided into four levels: C, B, A, and S. A C-level badge requires 10 emotion points, a B-level badge requires 100 million emotion points, and so on, with an S-level badge requiring a small goal.

Secondly, personal attributes can be improved by spending emotion points; the higher the attribute, the more emotion points are required.

Finally, to obtain emotional points, two conditions must be met: 1. It must be an official basketball game; 2. Each person can only contribute emotional points once per game, and the higher a person's social reputation, the more emotional points they can contribute.

In conclusion, to improve your strength, you need to work hard to acquire emotional points.

"I really want to improve!" Chen Yan began to plan how to maximize his emotional impact in the upcoming matches.

The game continued, but no one was paying attention to the situation on the field anymore.

The Magic's bench players were playing garbage time, while the SuperSonics' bench players were also dealing with the final few minutes.

The point difference hovered around 20 points, and the outcome was no longer in doubt.

As the final whistle blew, the match came to an end.

Ultimately, the Magic rallied to defeat the SuperSonics 96-80, securing their first victory in the Summer League.

"Ding! The match has ended. Congratulations to the host for gaining 404 emotion points."

Summer leagues in this era are not well-known, and it's already quite good if a few hundred spectators come to watch the games.

These tiny emotional points can't buy anything; they can only accumulate and be used for consumption later.

After the system notification ended, Chen Yan didn't even bother to open the system panel. Instead, he asked the team's data analyst for his statistics from the game.

26 points, 15 rebounds, 2 steals, and 5 blocks.

Aside from a few mistakes in the first few minutes, this is his statistic for the next twenty minutes, which is incredibly efficient.

"The data looks good, but it lacks real value!"

Chen Yan thought this was just the Summer League.

This is just the beginning.

The real NBA arena is a hundred times more brutal than this.

Every player there is a genius, and every opponent will give you no chance to breathe.

The system gave him a badge, giving him a starting point.

But he has to walk his own path.
