073: Fudge to a badge? (4K)(1/2)
Tony Allen dragged his tired body back and couldn't help but sigh - it's so difficult to be a professional player.
Tony thinks he has endured a lot of hardships. To be honest, compared to those real geniuses, his basketball talent is not worth mentioning.
It was through hard work step by step that he got to where he is today, from a junior college player to now having a chance to enter the first round of the draft.
But the recent training has still made Tony feel very grueling.
In the summer of the draft, Teacher Tony thought he would just meet the general managers of NBA teams, shoot commercials, and then go up and shake hands with David Stern...
As a result, this draft summer was completely different from what he expected!
According to Schwartz: "Training hard now is not only to get good results in the trial, but also to lay the foundation for the following summer league.
Don't underestimate the summer league. Those guys who are eager to compete for a place in the NBA will fight harder than ever.
If you are not prepared, you will only end up being abused."
There is no other way but to work hard.
Moreover, seeing Wayne training so hard every day, it’s hard for Teacher Tony to retreat alone.
Sure enough, putting two people together for training can still have the effect of supervising each other.
When Tony walked to the door of his house and opened the door, he smelled the aroma of fried meat.
To be honest, Tony was already hungry after training all day.
Now that I smell the fragrance as soon as I enter the house, Tony can't control it at all!
He rushed into the kitchen and found a dinner already on the table.
Due to the nutritionist's requirements, Wayne and Tony's diets are strictly planned.
The nutritionist packed the food they would eat for each meal every day and put it in the refrigerator, labeled it, and Wayne and Tony took it out and cooked it themselves.
When it comes to cooking, it actually means taking what the nutritionist has packaged, which is basically chicken breast or beef and various vegetables, and frying them.
And because Wayne and Tony have different needs for weight gain, not only do they eat different amounts, but they also eat at different times.
Tony eats three meals a day, while Wayne eats five meals a day.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, except for breakfast, Tony and Wayne would go to their respective meal times and eat separately.
Tony looked at his watch. At this time, it was probably not dinner time for Wayne yet.
so......
"Wardfa? Wayne, are you preparing this for me?"
"Yeah, just think of it as thank you for making breakfast for me today, Tony.
I know you are very tired today and I have nothing to do anyway, so I will help you fry the beef for dinner first.
Moreover, after today we will go to trial training separately. This is the last meal together, let me wish you good luck.
By the way, I also squeezed juice, let’s get some together?”
After Wayne finished speaking, he felt a little weird... Damn, why did he smell like having a drink at night...
The exhausted Tony looked at the beef on the table. Although it could be seen at a glance that it was old and mushy...but for some reason, Tony felt warm in his heart.
After a day's work, tired and hungry, a delicious dinner is waiting for you as soon as you get home.
What more bikes do you want?
But when you make dinner, you make dinner. What do you mean there are three candles on the table... Candlelight dinner?
"By the way, before we eat, I want to perform a ritual with you, and we have to complete it before we are separated." Seeing Tony obediently bite the hook, Wayne began to reel in the thread.
"ceremony?"
"Well, in China, if the relationship between two people is particularly good, we will perform a ceremony called 'worshiping the handle'.
After the ceremony, the two people will become sworn brothers. This means that the two people are like brothers and share the same love!
The ritual requires a special kind of candle called 'incense', which is not available here, so I used ordinary candles instead.
Will you be my sworn brother, Tony?"
I've never seen Wayne take a role before. I've only seen it on TV. What he did just now was all pieced together nonsense.
But it's enough to fool the old beauty.
"This...Wayne...can I really do this?" Teacher Tony was fooled immediately. He thought this was a very serious and important ceremony in China, so he didn't
Dare to smile playfully.
"I have no relatives or friends here, but you and I are the closest. If you are not qualified, then who can?"
"Well, I would like to be your good brother in America, Wayne! It's my honor!"
Then, Wayne and Tony stood side by side and said some nonsense such as "I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but I want to live and die in the same year, the same month, the same day, and share the blessings and hardships."
Chinese people may be tired of hearing these words because they are played on TV every day.
But Tony felt it was so new that it completely frightened him... so much so that his eyes filled with tears when he looked at the three candles.
"Okay Tony, the ceremony is over. Come and eat. After eating this steak, you and I will be good brothers!"
"Well! You are one of the few good people I have ever met, Wayne."
Seeing Tony sitting down obediently and starting to eat the burnt piece of beef, Wayne let out a big sigh of relief.
From now on, please call me Wei. Big fool. Well!
"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for reaching a new bond level, the bond reward has been unlocked."
At this time, the exciting system prompt sounded in Wayne's ears.
Tony ate a bite of beef and drank a sip of juice, as if he had finished two bowls of wine. He narrowed his eyes and began to speak earnestly: "Wayne, my good brother. You don't know, when I was on the streets of Chicago,
Ah, that’s also..."
"Well, Tony, you eat first, I'll go back to the room to rest for a while, and then I'll listen to you talk about Chicago's past in the evening."
Tony was just about to tell the childhood story that Wayne had heard so many times that his ears were numb when he saw Wayne suddenly turned around and ran back to the room.
Well, take a good rest. Thank you, Wayne." Teacher Tony shook his head, thinking that Wayne must be exhausted too.
But in fact, Wayne went back to his room to study the reward he had cheated!
After returning to the room, Wayne quickly opened the system interface and found that on the bond page, Tony Allen's progress bar had been filled to the first tick mark.
It may be that this function has not been unlocked before, so the default value is relatively low. Otherwise, given the relationship between Wayne and Tony, the bond progress would not be this small.
At this time, there is an additional button at the bottom of the page: "Receive bond rewards."
After clicking to receive it, a white light flashed as always.
Wayne was looking forward to it and didn't know what good things he could get from Teacher Tony.
According to the introduction of the previous system, unlocked items are badges related to teammates’ abilities, special actions and shooting actions, and other special functions.
Well, as long as it's not Tony Allen's shooting bag, then it definitely has its own iron-making attributes.
For example, the three-point shooting percentage is -10%... I can bear it.
Finally, what appeared in front of Wayne was a brand new badge.
Although it was only at the bronze level, after reading the description of the badge, Wayne said it was a huge profit!
"Badge: Strong Defense (Bronze, upgradeable).
Effect: Slightly improves the effect of close defense, slightly improves the impact of close defense on the ball holder."
Isn’t this what Wayne urgently needs now!
Since his strength and weight are not enough, what Wayne fears most is that he will not be effective in close defense.
In this era, it is difficult for an inside lineman to gain trust without defense.
And in the NBA, it's not that easy to cover up your defensive deficiencies by blocking shots.
In the NCAA, Wayne once had 11 shots in a single game. But in the NBA, you only have a few chances to block shots in a game.
Well now, with this badge, it can somewhat make up for Wayne's disadvantage in ability!
If your ability is not enough, you can get badges.
I have to say, this badge is really Tony.
Moreover, this badge can still be upgraded and can be practiced slowly. If you draw another badge upgrade essence or something and upgrade it to Silver, it will not be too exciting.
"What a profit, what a worthwhile meal!" Wayne happily equipped the badge into the newly unlocked equipment slot.
I originally said that the new badge equipment slot would not be used for the time being, but it turned out that it was not idle all day.
Speaking of which, this bonding system is simply a magical skill!
If we become teammates with more powerful stars in the future and form bonds with them, will we not be able to steal badges without mercy?
And more powerful stars may have badges with more perverted effects.
For example...Duncan's spot-blocking master?
