Chapter 2 Current strength: NBA starting level!
Zeng Zhen looked at the bottom section carefully again. It was divided into four sections: the first was attributes, the second was tasks, the third was the shop, and the fourth was...?
Only the first two sections can be lit up; the last two sections are dark.
Obviously, turning it on means you can enter.
Zeng Zhenxian entered his personal attributes and saw his basketball ability stats.

Performance rating: Grade A (NBA starting level!)
The following superstar skill has been unlocked: Stephen Curry's exclusive skill - [God of the Three-Pointers]!
【God of Three-Pointers】: When emotions reach a certain point, your three-point shooting attribute increases by 10%!
Seeing these numbers, Zeng Zhen felt they weren't very high, so he questioned the system: "System, why am I only A-level after fusing with six superstars? Shouldn't I be at least SS-level? Does fusing with these six superstars actually make me weaker?"
"Including you, there are a total of seven people who have merged. You are too weak. You have seriously lowered the average."
The system's cold, mechanical voice rang out.
OK, the voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely insulting.
Zeng Zhen was slightly embarrassed.
However, he quickly shook his head, feeling confident about his future thanks to the system.
This is the system that enhances his basketball-related abilities, as long as he uses it well!
Then the NBA isn't completely without a chance!
This is a basketball dream spanning two lifetimes.
Also, Zeng Zhen looked at the hot girls of all skin colors and with amazing figures walking back and forth on the school path!
In this lifetime, he is determined to make it into the NBA, make a lot of money, and ride many beautiful foreign horses!
The task section is empty; it seems there are no tasks available yet.
After clearing his mind, Zeng Zhen returned to his dormitory based on his memories of his past life.
His dormitory room was a double room, and his roommate was Westbrook, who sat next to him in class.
Lying down, Zeng Zhen wondered what to do.
I'm about to grab my phone from my pocket and check the news.
Nokia N95!
It's a slider phone!
There is no Douyin.
There is no Weibo account.
I don't have WeChat.
...
After fiddling around for a while, Zeng Zhen opened Google Chrome and found that the internet speed was slow, he couldn't watch videos, and news web pages were very slow to load.
"It's like going back to ancient times, how are we going to live like this?"
Having grown accustomed to the era of high-tech 5G short videos, Zeng Zhen is now experiencing withdrawal symptoms and finding it difficult to adapt.
Finally, with great difficulty, I managed to open a few web pages and read some news.
Kobe Bryant scores 41 points, Pau Gasol adds 22 points and 11 rebounds, and the Lakers defeat the Jazz!
Kobe Bryant's acquisition of Gasol is a huge boost!
LeBron James scores 38 points, 7 rebounds, and 9 assists to help the Cavaliers defeat the Wizards on the road!
Financial crisis erupts, global stock markets plummet!
The global economy is in trouble!
...
After reading several reports, Zeng Zhen's memories of this era were awakened.
It's a pity I'm not familiar with the stock market, otherwise I could have made a fortune trading stocks.
Just then, the dormitory door was opened.
"Hey bro, are you feeling unwell? Professor Charlie in class said you're not going to pass this semester's exams!" A hearty voice sang in with a burly figure.
Zeng Zhen looked up and saw that the man was about 1.9 meters tall, with distinct facial features and a very strong physique. He was wearing a colorful shirt with his chest partially exposed, and bell-bottoms with the cuffs deliberately torn. He was dressed very fashionably. He was also carrying a huge backpack on his back and holding a basketball in his left hand. His exposed skin was dark.
Isn't that fashion blogger Russell Westbrook?
In my memory, Westbrook was a very caring person off the court. The two were good friends. Zeng Zhen made an excuse: "Russell, I'm fine, I just have a stomachache and need to go to the bathroom urgently."
Westbrook didn't notice anything different about Zeng Zhen. After putting down the basketball and backpack, he said, "Well, then ignore Charlie. If he doesn't let you pass, let the coach go talk to him."
The coach Westbrook was referring to was UCLA head coach Ben Holland. Academic subjects weren't the most important thing for them, and the Bruins players had some unspoken privileges.
"Um."
"By the way, Zeng, are you planning to stay at the university this year?"
"It's not certain yet."
"Well, the coach told me to advise you to play for a few more years. Putting up good stats will make it easier for you to get drafted," Westbrook said.
Westbrook conveyed the coach's meaning very tactfully.
Zeng Zhen's stats so far this season in the NCAA are 4 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds per game, which is worse than Bronny's, so he has virtually no hope of being drafted.
"We'll see then. Will you run for office this year?" Zeng Zhen didn't respond to the question but instead asked it back.
Zeng Zhen knew that he was in a very bad situation. Even if he had the ability after the integration, he would be at high risk of being rejected if he did not have the opportunity to show it. So he was also considering whether to stay in university for a year, so that he would at least be a lottery pick if he got in.
"Yes, I'll tell you secretly, but don't tell anyone else, I've already found an agent, and I'll sign him after the season ends," Westbrook said mysteriously.
If an NCAA college player officially signs with an agent, they will not be able to return to the college court. However, many promising rookies have already contacted agents in advance, but they have not yet reached the point of actually signing a contract.
"Yes, in my mind, you are number one," Zeng Zhen said.
Zeng Zhen recalled that Westbrook's market value was indeed quite good, and he would be selected by the Thunder with the fourth overall pick this summer, which was already quite high.
"It's tough. Derrick Rose from Memphis is incredibly talented. They have a 38-2 record this year, and he's the top favorite right now..." Westbrook said honestly.
Rose's physical gifts are no less than Westbrook's, and his stats are even better than Westbrook's.
"Then there's OJ Mayo from USC, who averages 20 points per game. He's very strong."
Westbrook is a chatterbox, and he enthusiastically chatted with Zeng Zhen about all sorts of things. The two talked about everything from the school team to the draft, then about the upcoming March Madness at UCLA, and about his relationship with Nina.
Zeng Zhen learned a lot of information from chatting with Westbrook, and the two talked until very late before going to sleep.
