Chapter 1 Dare to bully? Take two punches from me!
A pungent, unpleasant odor filled Li He's nostrils, and he slowly awoke to find himself in a changing room.
What's going on?
I stayed up all night playing 2K, and when I woke up I was here.
I haven't had enough of my maxed-out three-point Shaq yet!
At the same time, a flood of memories rushed into Li He's mind, causing his head to ache as he struggled to discern the information.
Hansen Lee, 2003, University of Arizona, a young prodigy from China…
Li He suddenly understood; it was as if he had traveled through time.
His previous identity was that of a 19-year-old boy who had lost both parents. He had an extraordinary physical talent, standing at 199 cm tall with a wingspan of 2.21 meters. He played as a guard and was currently a benchwarmer for the University of Arizona Wildcats.
This also led to two teammates being unfriendly to him, often bullying and harassing him. Just when his predecessor decided to fight back, he was transported by Li He.
"That's really annoying."
"The timing of this transmigration seems a bit off; it even stole the chance for the original to take revenge."
Li He sat on a bench in the locker room, feeling an overwhelming urge to urinate. He forced himself to open his backpack, which contained only a towel, a set of keys, and a voice recorder.
It's estimated that the predecessor wanted to preserve evidence to report to the coach and get the other party fired.
"But even if I get expelled, all the bullying I suffered before wasn't for nothing."
"You poor predecessor, I have to stand up for you."
After saying that, Li He urinated directly onto the seats of the two bullies.
Water splashed everywhere, and Li He felt a sense of pleasure. To the damned bullies, this was too lenient.
After a brief moment of release, Li He continued to ponder:
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it."
"Accept the current situation and strive to become better."
He loves basketball, and he certainly couldn't miss this opportunity; he couldn't just become an unknown passerby.
The 2003 NBA season was indeed quite exciting.
Yao Ming, the Great Wall of China, is about to finish his rookie season, averaging 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 1.8 blocks per game, successfully making Barkley kiss a donkey's rear end.
Basketball legend Michael Jordan retires;
If I choose to go for the draft, all the rookies in my year are already very famous.
Players like Korver and Haslem wouldn't even make it to the first round;
French magicians like Dior, Perkins, and Barbosa are ranked outside the top 20;
David West is a bit stronger, but he still can't get into the lottery zone;
The players ahead of him are mostly monsters: Wade, Bosh, Anthony, and the current most popular high school player in the United States—LeBron James.
Standing out among the 03 cohort was still quite a challenge.
Just then, a "ding" sounded in my mind:
"A newbie gift pack has been detected... It can max out one of the host's skills."
"Activating the [Respect for the Elderly and Care for the Young] Football King System..."
"Open the gift pack?"
A certain skill is maxed out?
Li He's eyes lit up.
If you start with maxed-out skills, you definitely have a chance to compete with these super players!
For example, a fully-level breakthrough, a fully-level passing and control.
Or a maxed-out three-pointer?
It's incredibly popular!
Without hesitation, he silently said, "Start."
Congratulations! You have obtained [Boxing (Max Level)].
Upon seeing the notification message, Chen Quan was instantly dumbfounded.
No, I'm a proper player, what's the use of giving me max-level boxing?
I'm a ball player, not a fighter.
I can't exactly switch careers and go into boxing now.
The thought barely crossed his mind before Li He immediately shook his head in denial.
Boxing is a very dangerous sport.
It's not that your opponent will knock you out, but rather that boxing, when it reaches the top of the sport, will become linked to betting, and with such huge profits at stake, accidents can easily happen.
Even someone as powerful as Mayweather needs a group of bodyguards and three cars to escort him when he goes out, and he has almost been shot several times.
Li He didn't want to live that kind of life, constantly living in fear and anxiety, where even with money, he couldn't spend it with peace of mind.
Let's play basketball instead.
He followed the prompts and looked down, where the "Respect the Elderly and Love the Young" King of Football System came into view.
Respect for the Elderly and Care for the Young: The King of Football System
The host can obtain the template of a player by defeating a retired or non-league player in a one-on-one match.
Current number of challenges: 1.
"This system is quite interesting."
As an NCAA Final Eight player, I often come into contact with retired players and have many opportunities to play one-on-one against them.
This is only the first template I obtained, so I need to carefully consider it.
Just as I was pondering this, the locker room door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang".
Two black men walked in, and when they saw Chen Quan, they grinned sinisterly.
"Hansen, is everything ready?"
"We're just lending you some money, we're not going to renege on our promise, don't worry."
"We're all good teammates, we need to understand each other."
Li He abhorred bullying and would never tolerate it.
Bullying is bullying, and there will be no tolerance for it!
He chuckled and reached into his backpack: "Mata, Rogers, didn't you hear me? Say it again?"
Mata, with his fleshy face, repeated it, and Li He immediately shook his head, his attitude clear:
"I have no money."
"Besides, this isn't the first time you've pulled this kind of trick."
"Give me back the money you stole from me, and I won't pretend it never happened, but you two will suffer less."
Upon hearing Li He's firm stance, Mata and Rogers' faces darkened, and they immediately surrounded him, positioning themselves on either side of him to encircle him.
As soon as they sat down, they realized something was wrong.
"Oh, who spilled water on my seat!" Mata exclaimed in surprise. "Hansen, it was you, wasn't it? The price is going to double now, or I won't let you off the hook!"
Rogers reached out and sniffed it: "Fuck, this is pee!"
The two men were so angry they gritted their teeth. They never dreamed that the Chinese people who had been bullied by the obedient children would dare to fight back and even urinate in their spot!
He must pay the price for this behavior!
Mata gritted his teeth and said, "I really should teach you a lesson! Do you want a one-on-one fight or a group brawl?"
"What the hell, you idiot!"
Li He cursed and kicked Mata between the legs. With a scream, Mata immediately fell to the ground, rolling around and howling in pain.
"My egg!"
"Noisy."
Li He, seizing the advantage, punched Mata in the chin, causing the latter to immediately faint.
Rogers was dumbfounded. Was Hansen Lee really that strong?
If I'd told you you were such a good fighter, we would have bullied someone else...
This guy was already intimidated by Li He's violence and subconsciously took a few steps back, but Chen Quan had already stepped forward.
Trying to run? No way!
At max level [Boxing], his 2.21-meter reach is simply incredible. He probes with a left jab, then lands a precise right straight punch right into Rogers' triangle area, knocking him out on the spot.
Seeing the two bullies lying on the ground, Li He felt no pity.
As Chen Quan left the locker room with his backpack, he casually hung up a "Do Not Disturb" sign. He only used 5% of his strength; these two guys would probably need to take a nap.
Just as I left the locker room, a friendly-looking young Black man walked up to me and quickly asked:
"Hansen! I saw Mata and Rogers come back to bother you, so I followed them. How are you? Did you get bullied?"
Andre Iguodala, a freshman with the Arizona Wildcats, is also Li He's roommate, and the two have a good relationship.
Li He smiled and said, "Andrei, don't worry, it's alright, it's all taken care of."
"It's good that things are resolved." Iguodala breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is it possible to solve the problem by addressing the people?" Li He wondered.
But that doesn't matter anymore. Once the people are dealt with, the problem will naturally be solved.
After chatting for a few minutes, the two parted ways. Iguodala, a key player on the team, went to the training facility for extra practice, while Li He wanted to wander around to get used to life in the United States in 2003 and then think about his future plans.
As we strolled around, we arrived at the outdoor basketball court.
It was just past noon, the sky was clear and the air was fresh, and students were everywhere, with some children even playing ball.
Suddenly, a shout broke Li He's thoughts:
"Clay! Let's have a one-on-one match!"
