Chapter 49 - 34. Son of China (New Book Seeking Collection, Monthly Tickets, Recommendation Tickets!)

"The Legendary Mission [That Unforgettable Love] has been triggered. The host is free to choose whether to accept this mission. [That Unforgettable Love]: Whenever Larry Bird is recalled, Michael Jordan is unable to control his emotions. Today, after meeting you through a challenging encounter, Jordan regards you as his soulmate. By choosing to accept this mission, the host must fulfill Michael Jordan’s fantasies through your college basketball performance in the coming year. Mission Completion Condition One: The host’s average data in the regular season of the 04/05 season must be at least ’25+10+5’. (Points, rebounds, assists) Mission Completion Condition Two: When formally entering the draft in 2005, the host’s draft prediction shall not be lower than the top three in the first round. This condition will be determined based on mainstream media projections. Mission Completion Rewards: One legendary random physical attribute potential pack, one legendary random technical attribute potential pack, and the [Aerialist] badge. [Aerialist]: This badge endows the host with far superior hanging time ability and significantly reduces the erosion of the host’s physical functions by the passage of time. Note: The hanging time ability granted by the [Aerialist] badge is linked to the host’s jumping attribute. The higher the host’s jumping attribute, the stronger the effect granted by the badge. Additionally, upon completing this mission, the system will unlock the [The Unattainable is Always Stirring] or [The God of Basketball’s Soulmate] series of missions based on the host’s future draft situation. Through this series of missions, the host can earn generous rewards and enhance their potential." Fulfill Jordan’s fantasies about me? Although after meeting Jordan this time... Qin Yue also sensed Jordan’s affection for him. However, learning from the latest mission issued by the [Mountain Peak] system about how much Jordan actually likes him, Qin Yue was still greatly shocked. "From the task requirements, both completion conditions have their respective difficulties... Keep in mind, in the ACC league, there aren’t that many weak teams for me to farm stats. As for Condition Two, considering my memory of the 2005 NBA draft order, this mission condition... essentially requires me to aim for the top two picks. Historically, of the teams with the top five picks in 2005, only the Bucks with the first pick and the Hawks with the second chose inside players." In the dormitory, after calming his emotions slightly, Qin Yue immediately began analyzing the difficulties of the new mission and the possibilities of completing it. Overall, this is a highly challenging mission. But at the same time, the rewards for completing this mission are also very tempting. Because, apart from those two random attribute boosting packs that can enhance his potential... Just the effect of the [Aerialist] badge alone is worth Qin Yue’s attempt to take on the challenge. Far superior hanging time ability? In terms of basketball, what does hanging time ability mean? It means you can have absolute dominance in aerial combat. Through the [Mountain Peak] system, Qin Yue knows very well how elite the jumping talent of this body has become after activation. Therefore, if he can successfully obtain this badge... "I will become a true Aerialist!" Clenching his fists, Qin Yue thought excitedly. In addition, the other enhancement effect of this badge also seems quite abnormal to Qin Yue. Because it can greatly reduce the erosion of time on his physical functions. As everyone knows, in competitive sports, time is always the greatest enemy of athletes. No matter how excellent an athlete is, in the end, they will succumb to time. But this badge can, to some extent, help him resist time... Thinking of this, Qin Yue accepted the mission [That Unforgettable Love] without any hesitation. Of course, when accepting the mission, he couldn’t help but internally complain about Jordan a couple of times. After all... Who told Jordan to think so highly of him, causing the conditions for completing this mission to become so hard? ... After returning to Winston-Salem from Charlotte, Qin Yue’s life underwent significant changes. Grover and his team not only developed a detailed training schedule for Qin Yue but also took over his meals, with a chef from Grover’s team handling everything. Grover remarked, "Good dietary habits are a necessary quality to become a top-tier athlete. Rest assured, I’m not a heartless demon. Every weekend, I’ll arrange a cheat day for you, where you can eat whatever you like." In fact, for Qin Yue, who had experienced months of weight loss, he had quietly developed good dietary habits long ago. Therefore, after this devilish training officially kicked off, Qin Yue was more interested in the training content designed by Grover and his team. First, there was the shooting training. Grover’s team hoped Qin Yue could correct his shooting jump motion in the upcoming offseason. This new jump motion was similar to Carmelo Anthony’s shooting jump... Before jumping, legs slightly bent, generating vertical force. After jumping, legs come together to maintain vertical balance. Previously, when assessing Qin Yue, Grover noticed his incredible ball-handling coordination, lower body stability, and mid-air balance ability. "Combined with your previous upper body shooting motion, once mastered, this new jumping stance will definitely turn you into an unstoppable jump shot machine." An unstoppable jump shot machine?
