NBA: Goat is actually me

Chapter 5 Coach, I want to play in the NBA
"You won the NCAA Championship, which is a great achievement. I will reward you with 10 free attribute points (can only be added to attributes with a score of 70 or below), and unlock the new module [Road]. You're welcome, you deserve it!"

Meng Jin glanced at the system. It was reasonable to win honors and get rewards.

The first thing Meng Jin considered was where to add these 10 free attribute points?
He is well aware of the barrel effect, that how much a player can achieve depends on his shortcomings.

Meng Jin glanced at his attribute panel. Except for ball control and a few attributes related to physical talent, the rest were shortcomings.

After thinking about it, Meng Jin decided to put attribute points into [Mid-range Shot], which is a more practical skill.

Star Skills: [Boxing Champion Reborn], [Basic Ball Control Skills]

Well, even after adding 10 points to the attribute, Meng Jin's mid-range shot is still not up to standard, but he still has to add it. It is necessary to enrich his arsenal if he wants to play professionally.

As for long shots... Meng Jin has no plans for this for the time being. The attribute of 33 is too bad, and there is not much potential. It is estimated that he cannot practice it in a short time.

Meng Jin then opened the new module [Road]. He was curious about what it was.

After clicking on [Road], there are two options: [Career] and [Life].

【Career Module】

[Proud Son of Heaven]: After finishing your freshman year, you announced that you would enter the NBA! In the eyes of most professional managers and coaches, this is not a good choice, but it is a bold decision! To reward your courage, the system will give you triple training effects from the time you announce your participation in the NBA draft to the time you step into the NBA arena. After entering the NBA, you will gain 20 potential points and a court skill. (Currently completed 0%)

[One Step Ahead]: Entering the NBA after the sophomore year is still a choice for a minority of people in this era. You must take great risks to make this decision, but of course, you will also gain a lot of benefits. You will get twice the training effect from the time you declare to participate in the NBA draft to the time you step into the NBA arena, and you will gain 15 points of potential value after entering the NBA. (Currently completed 0%)

[Steady and steady]: You will participate in the NBA draft after your junior year. After three years of NCAA training, you have matured a lot. After entering the NBA, you will gain 15 potential points. (Currently completed 0%)

[Step by step]: After the senior year, you will participate in the NBA draft. This is a common path and the most popular path. Four years of college life have allowed you to accumulate certain experience and skills, but your potential is also limited. After entering the NBA, you will gain 10 potential points. (Currently completed 0%)

[Grassroots origin]: I don't know what you did in college? You, who have the system, played in the college league for four years, but you were not selected? Are picking up girls and taking drugs the only two things in your mind? You wasted your talent and deserved to be punished, but fortunately the draft is not the only way to enter the NBA. You can attract the attention of scouts again through overseas leagues or secondary leagues, and then join the NBA. The system will not reward you, your experience and experience are your most valuable assets. (Currently completed 0%)

Note: [After officially entering the NBA, a new career module will be unlocked]

After reading it, Meng Jin found it interesting. The system did not force him to take any particular path. He could take any path, but the rewards would be different.

An idea immediately flashed through Meng Jin's mind: he would participate in this year's NBA draft. He is a guy who loves excitement and adventure, and he likes this kind of challenge very much.

Well, the truth is that the system gives too much.

Triple experience card + potential value + competition skills, who wouldn’t be confused after seeing this?

There is about half a year from now to the official start of the next NBA season. If Meng Jin is successfully selected, he will have triple the training effect in these six months!
The amount of training in one offseason is equivalent to that of three offseasons for others.

If I work harder and practice a few more hours every day, I can easily equal 4-5 off-seasons for others.

Meng Jin felt that this cheat was too big, which was why he made up his mind to run for election.

【Life Module】

[Good Man]: You play basketball seriously on the court, and you are a good citizen, a model boyfriend, a model husband, and a model father off the court. Everything sounds perfect, but it's a bit boring, isn't it? (Current progress 0%)

[Honest person]: You are serious and loyal in relationships, but you are always hurt unilaterally by bad women because you meet the wrong people. This experience allows you to win the sympathy of some people, but more people laugh at you. (Current progress 0%)

[Playboy]: Use your personality to attract more women! Remember, not everyone is a playboy. You have to have taste and ensure both quality and quantity. If you only pursue quantity, your progress may decrease instead of increase. (Current progress 1%)

[New Track]: Master a skill other than basketball and achieve certain achievements. (Current progress 0%)

[Multi-talented]: The spotlight on the basketball court is not enough to satisfy you anymore, you want to be an actor, a singer, an artist! (Current progress 0%)

[Let Yourself Go]: Not everyone can have this personality. You have to be shameless and not care about other people's opinions. This will help you gain a lot of fans who like you. At the same time, you will definitely have a lot of haters. (Current progress 0%)

[Gangster Godfather]: Ordinary life can no longer satisfy you. You long to be with firearms and other high-quality items. This path is extremely risky, so please choose carefully! (Current progress 0%)

[Lonely person]: Your life is a straight line, besides basketball, you are at home. You like to be alone and don't want to be disturbed. (Current progress 0%)

[Men and women]: Experience a different life and become a dual-plug. It is not recommended to try it lightly. (Current progress 0%)

【Investment Genius】：
【spendthrift】:
Note: When the progress reaches 50%, a life skill that fits the character will be unlocked, and when the progress reaches 100%, it will be upgraded to the ultimate skill

There are many skills in life and in the competition field, there are dozens of them. I guess it’s because I haven’t entered the professional basketball arena yet, so many roads have not been opened.

Meng Jin thought it was interesting. He would not deliberately control the development of his life path, as long as he was not an honest person.

After checking out, Meng Jin and his teammates took a bus back to Syracuse, where hometown fans were waiting for them, waiting for the first NCAA championship trophy in team history.

Meng Jin was not the last one to get on the bus. The players had fun until very late last night and the coaching staff ignored them. This was an indulgence after winning the championship.

"Meng! What were you doing in the room last night? It made such a loud noise!" Douglas shouted.

"Of course it's to reward myself." Meng Jin said with a smile.

The relationship between the two was originally average, but after the fight last night, the friendship between teammates quickly warmed up. Friendship between men is sometimes like this.

"Shit, you're such a stud! I clearly saw you and that red-haired reporter going to the bathroom for half an hour at the party!" Derrick Coleman teased.

"It's only been half an hour. Am I so weak?" Meng Jin felt that Coleman was making fun of him.

Coleman shrugged: "If I remember correctly, maybe 15 minutes."

Ronnie Seikaly came over immediately and said, "That girl is so hot, is she your girlfriend?"

Meng Jinyun said calmly: "Girlfriend? I don't even know the name of that female reporter, but it didn't stop us from having a happy time."

"Oh! Listen to what he said, what a playboy!" Head coach Boeheim arrived late.

"Coach, I need to tell you something."

Boeheim smiled and said, "What a coincidence. I have something to say to you too."

"You first." Meng Jin made a gesture of invitation.

Boeheim said seriously, "Train well during the holidays. Howard Tricky has graduated. I plan to let you start as the power forward next season."

Meng Jin nodded thoughtfully after listening to this, and Boeheim said, "It's your turn to speak."

"Coach, I want to participate in the NBA draft."
