One Year Left to Play-Chapter 334 - 107: Sorry, I’m Not the Center You Want

On the other side, after Zhang Hao entered study mode, he first reviewed the game against the Pistons, combining it with the tactical adjustments by the coach before the game, and thoroughly analyzed their latest offensive coordination.

Del Harris’s intention behind the tactical adjustments is actually very clear, but it’s impossible to directly say that the main players should focus on offense; taking too big a step might tear something...

"Has Campbell already figured out that the team wants to focus on offense? This kind of thing isn’t good for his performance, is it? Why would he remind me to focus on leveraging my strengths during the game?"

Zhang Hao knew that he could greatly accelerate the transition process in Del Harris’s tactics, largely thanks to Campbell’s reminder.

If you can’t figure it out, don’t dwell on it; don’t waste time.

After spending half an hour rewatching the parts of the game against the Pistons he wanted to see, he had almost finished reviewing the game and had a clear goal for the adjustments he needed to make on the offensive end.

"Though I still feel reluctant to leave the Brooklyn Nets, the Lakers’ coaching staff is truly impressive. They’re not just some temporary makeshift group; they’ve considered things much more comprehensively and have a stronger foresight than I do."

Zhang Hao shook his head and opened the subtitles.

"Remaining lifespan: 512 days, Usable lifespan: 511 days.

Draw chance: One Bronze Lottery opportunity."

Last night, he scored 40 points, the highest in the game, earning a basic reward of 15 Celestial Mandate, 9 more than the second highest scorer, plus an additional 9 days of lifespan, and 5 days of lifespan reward for winning, exceeding 500 days in one go!

Originally, he thought that he would barely reach 500 days by the end of the month, because after each game, he had to review it, and every day there was natural lifespan consumption. Even though the Lakers are stronger than the Brooklyn Nets, it still took some time to reach 500 days.

"Three times with scores of 40+... It’s probably going to get harder to score high points in the future, as opponents will certainly pay more attention to me in this regard. I seem to have scored 40+ points twice against the Pistons..." Zhang Hao sighed: "I wish I could play Hill every day in the 82 games of the year."

With a thought, it’s time for the lottery!

"The host will use the Bronze Lottery, consuming 30 days of lifespan. Since this is the host’s first time using the Bronze Level lottery, you will receive an extra Bronze Level reward during the draw. You can choose to double the rewards or randomly receive another reward. Proceed with the draw?"

"Double the rewards... If I draw two of the same medal, wouldn’t it be a waste... There should also be extra rewards for Silver and Golden Lottery later, let’s test the waters first... Proceed with the draw, choose two different rewards!"

After confirming, the subtitles automatically switched to the remaining lifespan screen, and the lifespan started rapidly counting down, from 512 days remaining to 482 days, reducing one digit at a time.

This scene made Zhang Hao so heartbroken he couldn’t breathe...

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Bronze Medal Upgrade Card*1, Special Card: Function Repair Card (Bronze) *1."

"Bronze Medal Upgrade Card: It can upgrade a Bronze Level Medal to a Silver Medal upon use.

Function Repair (Bronze): It can be used when a signed player suffers from common injuries to quickly restore health. Note: injuries beyond common ones require corresponding lifespan payment."

Looking at these two rewards, Zhang Hao felt both were great.

It’s just...

"Sh*t! Why didn’t I want repeated rewards, the Medal Upgrade Card! The Function Repair Card is also great, as my biggest fear is injuries that prevent me from playing!"

It took Zhang Hao quite a while to calm his agitated emotions.

"What’s considered a common injury?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Non-structural fractures, non-neurological strains, etc. Injuries like Achilles tendon rupture or cruciate ligament tears are beyond the regular use scope of the Bronze Level Function Repair Card."

"So there are Silver Level and Golden Level Function Repair Cards? Drawing this thing is pretty nice... It’s still early, only 482 Celestial Mandate, don’t know how long it will take to reach 1000 days, let’s upgrade the medal first."

Opening the medal section, he checked; the Golden Medal has ’Single Rider’, and the Silver Medal has ’Heart Return’.

These two skills are definitely the ones he most wants to upgrade; they are so useful, helping him gain recognition so quickly, the ’Heart Return’ skill has a significant effect.

And ’Single Rider’...

"Is there a level above Golden?"

Looking at the two Bronze Medals, one is King of Turnaround Jumpers, the other is Dunk Master...

""Multiple choice, it’s that simple, upgrade King of Turnaround Jumpers!"

"The host uses a Bronze Level Medal Upgrade Card on King of Turnaround Jumpers (Bronze)...

King of Turnaround Jumpers (Silver) (Designated player wears: Zhang Hao): When the player wearing this medal uses a turnaround fadeaway, in that offensive attempt, jump +3, strength +3, with a twenty-five percent chance to ignore the shooting impact of a turnaround fadeaway."

Seeing the brand new King of Turnaround Jumpers, Zhang Hao exclaimed: "Awesome, incredible! Previously, it was a one in ten chance, triggering at most two or three times a game, but now, it’s a one in four chance!"

"If there were two, upgrading Dunk Master would be great too."

Quite lamentable it is! Shifting focus, let’s see the incomplete tasks.

"Let’s see... the mid-range showdown with Alan Houston, in two confrontations I’ve scored 13 mid-range shots, Alan Houston has 9. Next time we should compete once more, and I have a good chance of winning! Definitely we’ll have the opportunity to train with Alan Houston in the future, completing this task will give a chance to trigger study mode! Wonder if the Lakers have gathered his training footage, this has been discussed for days now."

Lamenting doesn’t help, Zhang Hao chose to train!
