Chapter 3: The Complete Form of the System!
After giving the middle finger a few times and cursing a few times in the void, Lin Tian quickly composed himself and prepared to activate the system to see what this "Basketball Talent Emotion System" was all about.
Lin Tian's mindset had, unknowingly, changed drastically from his previous life with his rebirth.
Compared to his meticulousness and calculation in his previous life, Lin Tian in this life appears more relaxed and leisurely. His mentality is less about wanting to grasp the hourglass of life and more like that of a gamer who is playing with life and experiencing a completely different way of living!
Therefore... Lin Tian is no longer prone to anxiety or worry, and he won't make things difficult for himself over anything.
If you can get through it, then get through it; if you can't, then find another way!
After obtaining three top-tier talents, Lin Tian immediately activated the system!
"Activation command received. System activated..."
"Ding! The Basketball Talent Emotion System has been fully loaded!"
Accompanied by the cold, mechanical announcement, Lin Tian waited less than 20 seconds before a simple, transparent panel appeared out of thin air in front of him!

"When an athlete faces a host and experiences emotional fluctuations due to the host, there is a chance they will drop experience, skills, items, traits, etc., for the host to pick up. Note: The stronger the emotional fluctuation, the higher the probability and quality of the dropped items!"
After reading the system's introduction, Lin Tian's slight displeasure vanished instantly!
What does he do?
Graduates from the world's top psychology departments!
He graduated twice!
His ability to read people's expressions and understand their psychology is his specialty!
This system is a perfect match for Lin Tian's expertise!
Heh heh, those top players, good luck to them!
Lin Tian was confident that when it came to manipulating people's mentality and trash-talking them to the point of losing control of their emotions, he was a grandmaster in this league!
And it was at least thirty versions ahead of that group...
Trash-talking masters like Miller, Payton, Barkley, and Jordan are nothing but untrained amateurs compared to Lin Tian!
It's time for my esteemed Lin, the elite soldier equipped with top-of-the-line American gear, to come and fight you!
As for those two skills, they are precisely the reason why Lin Tian was able to establish himself in the NCAA and put up impressive statistics.
His greatest strengths in the NCAA are his mid-range shot after a pick-and-roll and his passing and ball-handling abilities in fast breaks, which is the most important reason why he has achieved such impressive stats!
However, unexpectedly, when Lin Tian entered the NBA, his two signature moves were only at the LV1 and LV2 level.
In addition to the system's "professional matching", this simple and clear data panel can actually explain a lot of issues.
If Lin Tian hadn't unlocked three top-tier athlete skill packs, which greatly improved his speed, jumping ability, awareness, passing ability, and other skills, his current stats would definitely be all C or D!
According to Lin Tian's estimation, the top level in the NBA is of course S level, B level is roughly the average level of players, and C and D are, needless to say, failing to the bottom level. In other words, apart from a few abilities, most of Lin Tian's abilities are far from being at the NBA level.
In addition, he is already 22 years old, which is considered "advanced age". Without the added benefit of the Asian market, his value is only that of a late second-round draft pick. There are definitely many people with the same value who were not selected.
It can only be said that Lin Tian's luck played a significant role in being selected, entering the NBA, and activating the system!
But that's about it. Without the system, Lin Tian would most likely have stayed in the NBA for 2-3 years and then become a fringe player who would be quickly eliminated, leaving no mark or memory at all.
But after activating his three abilities, Lin Tian's situation changed completely!
Bolt's "Lightning Power" directly brought Lin Tian's speed to the S+ level, and his corresponding fast attack ability also reached S. Similarly, Lin Tian's explosive power was also improved, which undoubtedly came from this "essence of human speed" physical quality.
It's a pity that he received the 'speed attribute' instead of the 'physical attributes'; otherwise, with Bolt's monster jumping ability comparable to Jordan, Lin Tian could have dominated the dunk contest!
However, aside from their explosive speed and power, Mayweather and Brady, while top-tier talents in the industry, are not basketball players. Their talents are naturally somewhat diminished when applied to the basketball court.
Otherwise, if this were an NFL game, given Brady's quarterback long pass, it would be unreasonable for Lin Tian's pass not to be S+, and his stats would have to be upgraded by another level!
However, for Lin Tian right now, this is more than enough!
As for how to become stronger in the future, and how strong he can become, that's a matter for later. Lin Tian is not in a hurry at all!
Take it one step at a time. With this cheat code in hand, how could I, Lin Da Guanren, be inferior to Kobe, Jordan, or James?
nonexistent!
However, what Lin Tian didn't expect was that neither the local Chicago fans nor the Chicago Bulls players were particularly fond of or welcoming to him, this rookie!
For Bulls fans, who consider themselves the kings and the dynasty of the league, they don't need an Ivy League nerd or a pretty boy!
They'd rather Phil Jackson and Krause trade this draft pick for a washing machine than see a pretty boy ruin the team's aggressive and tough style and momentum! They don't want other fans saying Chicago is a women's haven in the league!
This hostility and disdain began the very first day Lin Tian arrived in Chicago!
Here, the fans showed him no respect and did not expect him to play well. Lin Tian was met with all kinds of ridicule and boos, and countless fans hoped that the team would trade this pretty boy as soon as possible.
Whether it's the Chicago Times poll, the questions asked at media day, or the petitions from fans that were sent like scraps of paper to team president Krause's office, they all point to one thing—
Lin Tian is not welcome in this city!
