Chapter 2 System Start
Speaking of which, Jiang Dongbing actually didn't understand at first why Jackson would enroll in a school like Butler.
You must know that Jackson was quite impressive in high school. Not to mention the number one high school student in the United States, he was at least ranked in the top ten.
Like many black people, when Jackson was born, his biological father just slapped him on the butt and walked away. Then when he was three years old, his mother remarried, and when he was thirteen, his stepfather went to jail and disappeared after he was released from prison.
It can be said that Jackson's childhood is a true portrayal of the childhood of many low-class black people.
Under such circumstances, one should not expect Jackson to receive a good education. His academic performance was terrible. Fortunately, his physical condition and basketball skills were outstanding, so he was able to gain admission to Oak Hill High School and join the Oak Hill Warriors.
Oak Hill High School can be said to be the most famous basketball school in the United States. It is a legend in the high school basketball circle and has produced many top NBA stars.
For example, the current head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, nicknamed "Speed" Rod Strickland, was a member of the Oak Hill Warriors in high school.
In Jiang Dongbing's memory, Durant, Eagle Smith, Melo Anthony, Ronaldo, Beasley, Brandon Jennings and others were all produced by the Oak Hill Warriors.
He came from a prestigious school and performed extremely well in the school team. He was selected to the first team of the All-American high school students. He was invited to participate in the McDonald's All-American High School Challenge and won the scoring title. Jackson's high school career was perfect.
Especially the McDonald's All-American High School Challenge, which is a super event that brings together all the top high school students in the United States. Among the participating players are some future NBA superstars.
For example, the 96th class has many players who are familiar to fans, such as Kobe Bryant, O'Neal Jr., "Perpetual Motion Machine" Hamilton, "White Devil" Bibby, Tim Thomas, etc. Even with so many strong players, Jackson can still win.
He scored the highest score in the game, which shows that his talent is extraordinary.
For such a gifted man, even if he does not directly participate in the draft as a high school student like Kobe and O'Neill, he will definitely have countless prestigious NCAA schools to choose from, and there is no way he will be reduced to enrolling in a community college.
After many inquiries, Jiang Dongbing found out the reason.
The reason is that Jackson committed suicide himself...
Logically speaking, Jackson's name should have appeared in the just-concluded 1996 draft, and the draft pick would definitely not be low. After all, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal, who were both high school students, both had very good draft picks, with ten points respectively.
The third pick and the 17th pick became a professional player.
But what is surprising is that Jackson didn't sign up for the 1996 draft.
Maybe he felt that there were too many talented young people in the 1996 class, which would affect his draft position, or maybe he felt that he was not ready to enter the NBA. Anyway, Jackson just missed the opportunity to become a first-round pick in 1996.
.
Since he is not participating in the draft, going to college to play in the NCAA is naturally Jackson's next best choice. He has already negotiated with the Arizona Wildcats, a powerful NCAA team, to join, but was reported...
Jackson's academic performance was so bad that even if he was admitted as a special sports recruit, Jackson's SAT and ACT scores were not enough.
Fraudulent sports recruits are nothing new in the old and American sports circles, but it happened that Jackson, the unlucky guy, was targeted.
The University of Arizona is definitely out of business, and even other serious universities are out of business. Jackson can only pack his bags and come to his current community college.
…
Walking on campus, Jiang Dongbing and Jackson chatted.
"Jiang, actually I have no plan to play here." Jackson said to Jiang Dongbing with some guilt.
He has a good feeling about Jiang Dongbing, but even so, he doesn't want to play in a community college.
Reporting to Butler Community School is just a way for Jackson to hide his life. If he is selected in the draft next year, he will definitely leave.
If you are not selected, you can still get a diploma at Butler.
Jiang Dongbing nodded. Jackson didn't want to play for the school team, which was not beyond his expectation. If it were him, he definitely wouldn't want to join a team with no reputation like the Butler Grizzlies.
"Stephen, go sit in front for a while and let's have a good chat." Jiang Dongbing stopped and pointed to the stadium seats not far away and said.
He couldn't just waste Jackson's talent in vain. Without Jackson, Jiang Dongbing would never be able to succeed.
Butler Community College may never be able to recruit players as talented as Jackson in the future. It is obviously unrealistic to expect Jiang Dongbing to achieve results with a bunch of stinky tomatoes and rotten eggs.
As soon as the two of them walked into the stadium, Jiang Dongbing's expression was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he suddenly became extremely rich.
A mechanically synthesized voice sounded in Jiang Dongbing's mind, and the system that had been silent suddenly started to move.
"The court found players with a potential rating of 90 or above, are they bound?!"
"After binding, this system will be officially launched!"
Jiang Dongbing didn't care to think about what the potential level was. Without saying a word, he silently thought about binding in his mind. After waiting for so long, he finally waited for the moment to turn on the system.
"Congratulations to the host, the binding is successful, the "Basketball Training System" is officially launched!"
"Consumption of one binding qualification. After successfully binding the player, the host can view the player's detailed attributes through the player attribute panel."
"There is one binding qualification left, and the host can search for players with a potential rating of 90 or above for binding."
"The host can unbind the bound player at any time."
Jiang Dongbing frowned, why does this "Basketball Training System" look so useless?
Searching for players with high potential levels? Checking the player's attribute panel? This is of no use to Jiang Dongbing, a veteran fan with memories of his past life.
It is inappropriate to even say that Jiang Dongbing is a senior fan. He is completely a hardcore fan.
Regardless of whether they are active players or players who have never entered the league, Jiang Dongbing has a clear understanding of their abilities. Even the personal character of these players, he can tell the same story.
He is familiar with the tactics commonly used by major meritorious coaches and the future development direction of each team.
"That's it?" Jiang Dongbing felt a little disappointed.
If the time-travel benefits are useless, the difficulty for Jiang Dongbing to rise will undoubtedly increase countless times.
In the end, he still thought about the player attribute panel in his mind, wanting to see if this system could bring him some surprises.
Jackson's personal information appeared in Jiang Dongbing's mind.
"Name: Stephen Jackson"
"Position: Small Forward"
"Breakthrough ability: 72 (91), training progress (0/1000)"
"CIC ability: 56 (88), training progress (0/1000)"
"Three-point ability: 66 (86), training progress (0/1000)"
"Rebounding ability: 52 (77), training progress (0/1000)"
"Organizational ability: 48 (75), training progress (0/1000)"
"Single defense ability: 62 (87), training progress (0/1000)"
"Assistance defense ability: 63 (88), training progress (0/1000)"
"Ball holding ability: 47 (73), training progress (0/1000)"
"Leadership: 40(59)"
"Game concentration: 90"
"Current comprehensive strength rating: 71"
“Extreme Potential Rating: 90”
Jiang Dongbing became sluggish, and the disappointment he felt just now was gone. He found that this system was more useful than he thought.
There are training progress behind many of Jackson's attributes. This is what Jiang Dongbing is most pleased about. If he is not mistaken, with the help of this system, he will be able to cultivate players who can fully realize their talents.
Realizing talent is actually a very difficult thing for a player.
There are countless players in the history of the NBA who were extremely talented but ultimately failed to perform at a high level. Among others, Jackson is the best example.
Jackson's talent can definitely be said to be unique. Although he has had his brightest days in the NBA, averaging 20+ points per game in three seasons, his achievements are completely inadequate compared to Kobe and others of the same age.
He has never been selected as an All-Star in his career, and has almost never been a true leader of a team. He has played in the NBA for a total of fourteen years, and his only honor is to win a championship ring with the Spurs as the fourth team leader.
.
And if he can fully realize his talent, Jiang Dongbing feels that he dare not say anything else, at least it will be easy to be selected as an All-Star.
In addition to being able to fully realize their talents, Jiang Dongbing discovered that this system also allows players to realize their talents early, which is even more precious.
Everyone knows the cruelty of the NBA. Early results and late results are completely different things.
Under the same strength, a 20-year-old All-Star player is worth more than a 28-year-old All-Star player. If he only realizes his talent after the age of 30, then the day lily will be useless.
Jiang Dongbing feels that this training system can completely help young players develop their strength faster and occupy a place in the team.
"Wonderful, really wonderful!"
"Although the function is still not enough to defeat the world, but with the help of the memory of my previous life, I will definitely be able to carve out a world in the basketball world." Jiang Dongbing thought, unable to restrain the ecstasy in his heart.
He now finally understands why he traveled to Butler Community College. The unlucky Jackson seems to be the best target of this training system.
First of all, he failed to fully realize his talent, and secondly, it was too late for him to realize his talent!
The season when Jackson averaged 20 points per game was around 2008. At that time, he was already thirty years old. The realization of this talent can be said to be better than nothing. It is impossible for any team to regard a thirty-year-old player as the cornerstone of the team.
