Theo hurriedly clicked to check the system: “Ding!
Detected that the host is a football player.
The Basketball Superstar System is incompatible with you.
The system is adapting you to the Basketball Superstar Mismatch System.
Binding in progress…
Binding successful!” “Ding: Identity detected.
Position on the field has been locked, and the attribute panel is now open!” “Ding: Detected that the host has obtained the system for the first time.
You have received a Starter Pack.
It is being distributed; please check your inventory!” A Basketball Superstar System?
And a mismatched one at that?
Theo was a bit puzzled, so he used his mind to open his personal panel to take a look!
Name: Theo Age: 18 Height: 188cm Wingspan: 188cm Weight: 80kg Position: Goalkeeper (Locked) Team: Charlton Athletic (EFL League One) Attribute Points: 0 Overall Rating: 49 (Sub-par youth academy Goalkeeper) — Physical Ability (51) — Strength: 53 | Speed: 50 | Reaction: 48 Explosiveness: 48 | Vertical Jump: 50 | Stamina: 59 — Goalkeeper Ability (47) — Saves: 44 | Positioning: 45 | One-on-One: 45 Rushing Out: 48 | Aerial Ability: 51 | Goal Line: 50 Handling: 47 | Goal Kick: 45 | Throwing: 48 Penalty Saving: 47 | Free Kick Saving: 46 — Related Ability (48) — Balance: 48 | Anticipation: 47 | Composure: 49 — Other Attributes (Not included in rating) — Technique: 48 | Passing: 50 | Vision: 50 Stealing: 43 | Shooting: 42 | Dribbling: 45 Command: 46 | Luck: 72 — Exclusive Skills — [ None ] Theo saw that this data panel was miserable.
The overall rating didn’t even pass 50, making him worse than even those sub-par youth academy goalkeepers!
Fortunately, the panel was unlocked, so he could improve through daily training.
He just didn’t know what the hell that Basketball Superstar Mismatch System was.
Theo immediately opened the system again.
[ Basketball Superstar Mismatch System ] Points: 0 Skills: None Introduction: Points can be used to upgrade ability levels and can be converted into attribute points.
For ways to unlock new skills, please explore on your own, Host.
[ Points Acquisition ] Host in a match.
Goal: 3 points Assist: 1 point Steal: 1 point Save: 1 point [ Points Usage ] Attribute point exchange: 1:1 Skill level upgrade: 10 points to increase 1 level Theo saw that there was nothing in the panel; the points were 0, and he had to explore how to unlock new skills himself!
What the hell!
But there was a Starter Pack, which should hopefully give him some good things!
Just as Theo was preparing to open the Starter Pack, the white guy on the court shouted again, interrupting his thoughts: “Hi, buddy, are you okay?
Why are you standing still?
Also, do you play football?
Your footwork is amazing!” Theo shook the jersey and ball-net backpack in his left hand.
“Yes, but I’m a goalkeeper!” This guy was very outgoing and seemed very familiar with people.
“No wonder, you’re also very tall!
Buddy, want to play some basketball?” Theo looked at the few burly men over 190cm on the basketball court, all of them looking quite sturdy.
With his current physical fitness and basketball skills, going up there would just mean getting completely crushed.
Besides, he didn’t really know how to play!
“No thanks, I’m too tired after training.
I have to head back!
Bro, have fun!” After saying that, he turned around and left.
A voice came from behind: “I’ll come watch you play sometime!” Theo smiled and shook his head.
If it were before, he definitely wouldn’t have had a chance to get on the field.
But now, he was somewhat looking forward to the Starter Pack giving him something good.
He was even fantasizing a bit!
Max-level passing, max-level speed, max-level shooting, max-level physique.
He’d take a few dozen of those!
He wasn’t picky at all.
When that time comes, he’d punch Cristiano Ronaldo and kick Messi!
Wouldn’t that be great!
Relying on the original owner’s memory, Theo almost jogged back to his rented bachelor apartment.
It was an old building on the street, on the second floor, a small apartment of no more than 15 square meters, with a monthly rent of 200 pounds, which was fortunately covered by the club.
The bed was relatively clean, and the quilt was folded neatly.
On the wall was a huge poster from when Manchester United won the Champions League the year before last, with a young Cristiano Ronaldo lifting the trophy in the picture.
Theo put the clothes and food in his hands on the table, and without even having time to drink water, he directly opened the panel.
“Ding!
Host has opened the Starter Pack!” Obtained: 1: Attribute Points: 100 points 2: Random Skill Cards x3, skill levels are random!
“That’s it?
This system is really damn casual!
This pack is just as casual!” Theo complained.
He accepted the Starter Pack directly!
The attribute points looked like a lot, but the items a goalkeeper needed to improve far exceeded those of other players.
He needed to think carefully and add them later.
Then there were the skill cards!
He wondered what he would get?
Theo specifically went to the small bathroom to wash his hands!
No matter what, when it came to luck, it was better to be a bit pious!
Theo prayed silently, “Open!” “Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining skills: Three-Point Domain (Level 1), Rebound Instinct (Level 2), Block Moment (Level 3).” Theo clicked to check: [ Three-Point Domain ] (Level 1) Take a free kick from outside the penalty area, can plan the flight path of the football.
Uses per match: 1 [ Rebound Instinct ] (Level 2) Predict the landing spot of high balls like free kicks, corner kicks, and crosses 1 second in advance.
Uses per match: 2 [ Block Moment ] (Level 3) Predict the trajectory of the opponent’s shot 1.5 seconds in advance.
Uses per match: 3 When Theo saw these three skills, his first feeling was, “Sure enough, they are football skills related to basketball.
It’s settled!” One for offense, two for defense.
If used well, the two defensive skills could neutralize five of the opponent’s attacking opportunities.
It’s just that, as a football goalkeeper, where would he get a chance to take a direct free kick in the front court?
Hmm?
No, there are also ones in the back court!
After figuring out the system’s skill situation, Theo felt much more at ease.
As long as he could familiarize himself with how to use these skills, especially the prediction for shots and high balls, he would have at least a 90% chance of staying!
Moreover, when it came to saving penalties, he was basically invincible!
After understanding his skill capabilities, Theo considered how to allocate his attribute points.
Opening the attribute point panel, he saw that his free attribute points had increased by 100.
Furthermore, a plus sign appeared after height and wingspan!
It indicated that they could also be upgraded!
This made Theo feel relieved.
Even though he hadn’t played football, he knew that most top-tier goalkeepers on the football field had a wingspan that was several centimeters longer than their height.
His height was decent, but his wingspan could be said to be very average!
So he prepared to add points to these two physical attributes!
Height 188cm, slightly lacking, better to add points first!
1 point, 2 points, when it reached 190cm, the system prompted that he could no longer add points!
Was this the limit?
For a height of 190cm, it was a bit short, but Theo was satisfied.
At least it was better than before, right?
But the most critical wingspan also needed to be increased!
Wingspan: 188cm.
Add!
1 point, 2 points!
It was now the same as his height!
Theo was a bit worried that he wouldn’t be able to continue adding points, which would mean his goalkeeper physical talent would be quite average!
Fortunately, this problem didn’t occur; the plus sign was still there!
6 points, 7 points!
195cm, he had already gained!
He could still add more!
Continue!
Finally, at 198cm, the plus sign disappeared!
Height: 190cm, Wingspan: 198cm!
It was already perfect!
He could only say that the 12 points spent were very worth it!
Finally, Theo had to study how to add points to other attributes.
