What? The trainer is warming up.

A mechanical, emotionless voice, like that of a robot, suddenly rang in Qin Yu's mind. Then, a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and something resembling a game interface appeared, displaying a series of Qin Yu's information.

Name: Qin Yu

"Height 194cm, weight 81kg, wingspan 210cm, static talent assessment C+."

It includes not only static data, but also dynamic data.

"Speed: 100-meter sprint in 12.7 seconds, 3/4-yard sprint in 3.5 seconds, rating: D."

"Vertical jump 48cm, running jump 59cm, grade D."

"Strength: 80 kg bench press 9 reps, rating: D."

"Explosive power... D-level."

This data is not only accurate, but also includes a rating system. The rating standards are listed below, divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. Level A is the best, and level D is the worst. Level D is roughly equivalent to one of the better amateur basketball players.

With just one glance, Qin Yu understood his current physical condition; in terms of overall physical fitness, he was probably only at an amateur level.

Of course, it's considered very good for an amateur.

What surprised Qin Yu even more was that there was data on basketball-related skills, including shooting, passing, dribbling, rebounding, stealing, etc.

That's incredible.

Qin Yu rarely read novels before, but concepts like time travel and systems frequently appeared in short videos, so they weren't unfamiliar to him.

However, now that a "system" has appeared, it's not surprising that it can accurately read one's own static and dynamic body data.

Basketball skills are difficult to quantify and there is no clear standard. That's why fans often argue online about whether Allen Iverson or Kyrie Irving had better ball-handling skills and who is the greatest of all time.

"Shooting, Grade C"

"Passing, grade C."

"Dribbling, C grade."

"Rebounding, Grade D"

"Steal, Grade C"

"Basketball IQ, S-level."

A series of Cs is not bad.

However, the presence of a "D" in the middle made Qin Yu somewhat unhappy. A "D" level is only equivalent to an amateur level, while a "C" level is already at the professional player level.

However, upon seeing the final "S," Qin Yu immediately became excited again, thinking to himself, "Wasn't it supposed to be only A, B, C, and D? How come there's an 'S'?"

The system's voice sounded again the next moment: "Above the four levels ABCD is level S, which is equivalent to the level of an NBA superstar."

"NBA superstar level! Wow, this system is pretty intelligent." Qin Yu was shocked. This "system" seemed somewhat like AI. "So, although my other skills are only D-level, my basketball IQ is top-tier. Awesome!"

A series of data, along with the system's explanation, gave Qin Yu a clear understanding of his current physical condition.

Without a doubt, this system was created for basketball.

But with my overall skill level, I'm only around D+, which doesn't seem enough to play professionally!

"Ding!"

Just then, a soft sound rang out, and the system panel flashed with a number. At the same time, the system's voice announced: "The newbie gift pack has been issued, rewarding you with 100 points. These points can be used to improve your physical fitness, technical skills, and more."

It's here! The real cheat has finally arrived!

Qin Yu was so excited he almost jumped up. "I knew it! Just having the system panel isn't enough. You need to give me a cheat code!"

"Points, um, they should be similar to those in games, you can use them to level up or exchange for items."

"Improve physical fitness and technical skills."

"If I can upgrade all my Ds to Cs, I have a good chance of playing professionally. I can also improve my technical skills. If I improve my rebounding, my technical skills will be a full C, definitely not inferior to some professional players."

Qin Yu was secretly delighted.

Looking at it this way, becoming a professional gamer doesn't seem so difficult after all.

"Qin, what are you doing? Give me that damn basketball."

A voice interrupted Qin Yu's reverie. Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw Greg Oden staring at him with a displeased expression, reaching out to ask for the ball.

Qin Yu snapped out of his reverie, made a perfect pass with both hands, and said with a smile, "Sorry, I was spacing out just now. By the way, Greg, did you see or hear anything just now?"

Oden looked bewildered: "All I see is you grinning like an idiot. Qin, are you out of your mind? How can you still laugh after being yelled at by Jason?"

Qin Yu didn't mind Oden's rudeness; obviously, Oden couldn't see the system panel or hear the system's voice.

That puts my mind at ease.

"Whoosh!"

Oden turned around, slightly bent his knees, and without jumping, he threw the ball out. With a soft thud, the basketball swished through the net.

The reason he didn't jump was because Oden had undergone patellar fracture surgery a month ago and was not yet able to perform large-amplitude jumping movements.

Looking at Oden, who was tall but looked distressed, Qin Yu couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

This guy is undoubtedly a genius, but he's also really tragic.

Oden was already famous during his high school years, leading his school basketball team to the state league championship for three consecutive years with a terrifying record of 103 wins and 7 losses (including 24 wins and 1 loss in the playoffs).

After entering university, he won over everyone in just one season.

His legendary performance came against the University of Florida, where Oden, despite a left wrist injury, still racked up a terrifying stat line of 25 points, 12 rebounds, and 4 blocks, single-handedly dominating the twin towers of Joakim Noah and Al Horford, who would later shine in the NBA.

Billy Donovan, then head coach of the University of Florida basketball team (and later head coach of the Oklahoma City Thunder), admitted after the game: "We sent three people to take turns guarding him, but he still destroyed us."

Since then, praise such as "one-handedly destroying Noah and Horford", "a combination of Bill Russell and Hakeem Olajuwon", "a player who can define the NBA landscape for the next decade" has almost elevated Oden to a god-like status.

James' nickname is "The Emperor," while his nickname is "The Great."

In the subsequent draft, he even beat Kevin Durant to the punch and was selected by the Trail Blazers with the number one pick.

Unfortunately, Oden subsequently suffered numerous injuries.

After the draft, Oden underwent minimally invasive surgery on his right knee before playing a single game, missing the entire 2007-08 season.

Oden made his NBA debut in the 08-09 season, but left the court after only 13 minutes due to a right foot injury.

After that, he kept taking treatment on and off, and was never truly healthy.

When the season came, the 09-10 season, Oden announced that he would return to the court in good health, but he only played 21 regular season games before suffering a fracture of his left patella.

Well, another season-ending injury.

A series of injuries have long labeled this former "Emperor" as "glass man," and destroyed his pride and confidence.

No one knows if he can recover, or if he can return to his previous state; even Oden himself is not very confident.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, Oden's shot missed.

He cursed "Damn it" in frustration, then turned to look at his teammates Brandon Roy, LaMarcus Aldridge, Andre Miller, and others who were training on the other side of the court. He couldn't help but sigh, feeling extremely frustrated.

As the "number one draft pick" and "The Great One," Oden is undoubtedly proud. He has always dreamed of making his own highlight performance in the NBA and proving his talent and strength.

After all, Kevin Durant, the second overall pick in the same draft class, had already put up impressive numbers last season, averaging 25.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists per game.

This season, Durant has averaged over 30 points per game, showing a strong ambition to win the scoring title, and his selection to the All-Star team is almost a certainty.

This put Oden under immense pressure; he wanted to prove himself and was also worried about whether he would still have a place on the team if things continued like this.

After all, the team has been playing quite well under the leadership of Roy and Aldridge, and some fans have already suggested that the Trail Blazers trade him...

This made it difficult for Oden not to feel anxious.

"Bang, bang..."

Perhaps his mindset was affected, as Oden missed both of his next shots.

Qin Yu stood under the backboard to retrieve the ball for Oden, then passed it to him, and also guessed Oden's thoughts at that moment.

He couldn't help but look at Oden's legs.

The reason why Oden has suffered repeated injuries is largely due to his "short leg" problem.

Qin Yu once read a report that said Oden's left leg was 3 centimeters shorter than his right leg.

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

If a person's two feet are three centimeters apart, it is considered "lopsided," which is easily noticeable from their walking posture.

However, Qin Yu now judged that although Oden's left and right feet were not very coordinated, the difference was definitely not as exaggerated as 3 centimeters.

Of course, it is also possible that the condition worsened after multiple surgeries, and the difference between the left and right legs only increased to 3 centimeters after several years.

In fact, Oden's left and right feet were not natural.

This is because Oden underwent hip surgery as a child, and his subsequent rehabilitation training was not up to par, leading to muscle atrophy, which affected his growth and development, and eventually resulted in leg length discrepancy.

The condition was not serious at first and did not manifest during his high school and college years.

However, as time went on, the high-intensity basketball training exacerbated the problem, ultimately leading to Oden's injury shortly after the draft.

The repeated injuries and surgeries created a vicious cycle...

Many people blame Oden's injury on the Trail Blazers' medical team, believing it to be the fault of these incompetent doctors.

This is definitely related to the medical team.

However, based on Qin Yu's accumulated knowledge across two lifetimes, he knew far more than the average person. He knew that Oden's injury was not a simple medical problem, but rather the result of a series of problems and mistakes that ultimately turned the "Emperor" into a "fragile" character.

"The system says that points can improve physical fitness and technical skills? Maybe they can even heal my injured knee."

Looking at Oden, Qin Yu couldn't help but think of himself.

Back then, Qin Yu was the absolute core of the LIU basketball team (Long Island University, abbreviated as LIU).

Although LIU is only a bottom-ranked team in the NCAA Division I, Qin Yu, as a Chinese, is already quite remarkable to have become the absolute core of LIU, and is called "LIU version of Jeremy Lin" by many people.

An accident caused him to suffer a serious knee injury, forcing him to leave the court, but he was unwilling to give up his basketball dream.

Even if I can't become a professional player, I will continue to pursue my basketball career.

Ultimately, through his own efforts, he graduated early, obtained the relevant certificates, and became an assistant trainer for the Trail Blazers.

If it weren't for his inner persistence, his love for basketball, and the fact that the flame of his dream never went out, he might have left long ago because he couldn't stand Jameson's exploitation.

"If my knee could fully recover..."

Qin Yu's heart burned with passion. Becoming a trainer was never his dream, but a choice made out of necessity. He had only one dream—to become a professional player.

Now, it seems he has a second chance to pursue his dream again, to become a professional player, or even an NBA player.

NBA... such a distant term, it is the holy temple in the hearts of basketball players, the highest basketball stage in the world.

Having lived two lives, Qin Yu only dared to enjoy being a professional player and never dared to dream of stepping into the NBA.

But now, everything is different!

A surge of excitement rose from the bottom of his heart, making his blood boil. Qin Yu's heart was pounding, and he couldn't resist trying to add points to himself.

"Wait, are these points only useful to me, or can they be used on other people as well?"

"for example......"

Qin Yu looked at Oden, forcibly suppressing the urge to add points to his own account first, because he already had a plan in mind...
