Chapter 42: The Eye of Discernment
Slowly opening his eyes, what appeared in front of Chen Mu was the world of white light that already had a hint of familiarity.
It looked white and blank from top to bottom, as if he was in the clouds, although he could still feel the obvious ground support under his feet, Chen Mu seemed to feel that his body had become lighter, and he was jumping higher than usual.
"What kind of training camp will the Eye of Insight be......?"
Relying on the memory of the last time, Chen Mu walked forward, and after a while, he saw the familiar prompt bar.
After some clicking, Chen Mu chose to open the virtual training camp "Eye of Insight", and chose the highest difficulty-hell level.
"Hell level, although the pain is very terrible, and the difficulty is amazing. But to get promoted, if you can't even endure this bit of hardship, how can you become the strongest basketball player?? ”
Chen Mu secretly cheered himself up, and after all the choices were made, the tall building slowly rose not far away.
When he came to the front, it was still the towering gate, and it was still the familiar sound of the slapstick, this time, Chen Mu had no anxiety and fear in his heart, there was just endless expectation and curiosity, and he pushed the door straight in.
This time, the door that opened was different from the last time, and as the door opened, a bright basketball court inside appeared in front of Chen Mu's eyes.
"Well, this time the treatment has been improved, and it has been given to the whole audience~"
Chen Mu smiled slightly, stepped into it, and saw a black athlete who was a little taller than himself, dribbling the ball.
"...... so tall??"
Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, from the name "Insight Eye", Chen Mu's preliminary judgment was that the training camp he was about to enter was estimated to be a place to practice passing.
Generally speaking, the passing skills of the backcourt players will be much better than the frontcourt players, but the person in front of him has a figure that is at least a big forward, not only amazingly tall, but also very strong, and looks bigger than Chen Mu.
"More than two meters tall, strong body, but playing in the backfield...... Could it be ......?! ”
Chen Mu took a deep breath, stepped forward, and took a closer look, which confirmed the guess in his heart.
"Magic Johnson!"
Wearing a classic Lakers retro training uniform, he is 6 feet 8 inches tall, with an amazing arm span, although he has the height of a power forward, but through the classic one-handed dribble, as well as the exquisite passing that is superb, and he has become the first point guard in history, Magic!
In front of Chen Mu's eyes, the magician's virtual image was as smart and realistic as the image of Jordan he had seen before, as if he could touch it with his hand.
Compared with Jordan's domineering, the aura on the magician is more unique.
Although he is also a superstar at the historical level, and is even considered by many commentators to be a superstar who "can eventually reach the point of wrestling with Jordan if he remains healthy and aggressive", the Magic gives people a completely different feeling from the condescending basketball god.
Walking beside the magician, watching him constantly dribble, pass, and make all kinds of classic actions that have long been familiar in the game video, Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh that the temperament of this superstar is really too "team".
Although the ranking of historical superstars is controversial, generally speaking, the gap between their general candidates, fans and ball commentators is not very large.
In addition to the first thunderous Jordan, the top 10 all-time superstars include the three centers (Russell, Chamberlain, Abdul-Jabbar), the Magic Bird duo (Magic and Bird), O'Neal, Kobe, Duncan, and Olajuwon.
In addition, among the active players, LeBron James will definitely become a top 10 star.
These eleven people at the top of the pyramid may be replaced by some other names in different rankings, but they will generally be in the top 10 overall.
If you look closely, it is obvious that the magician is definitely an outlier among them.
Team players such as Russell, Duncan and others, although their individual strength is outstanding, but the most praised is their extremely strong defensive ability. Of course, Duncan's offense is also outstanding, but in the top 10 level, it is not eye-catching.
The Magic, on the other hand, is a team player, but his individual defense has always been criticized. Limited by height, Magic has always had some problems with the small and fast type of point guard defense. So during the Lakers SHOWTIME, it was often the No. 2 player who helped the Magic defend the opposing point guard, and the Magic acted as a scavenger-like role, roaming around on the defensive end, grabbing rebounds, and pushing the fast break.
In addition, in terms of offensive ability alone, Magic has had many wonderful single-game scoring performances, but overall he is not an explosive scorer.
So what does a magician rely on to enter the pantheon of basketball?
Chen Mu, who watched the magician's pass up close, seemed to have a glimpse of a clue.
"Challenger: Chen Mu"
"Training Program: The Eye of Insight"
"Difficulty: Hell"
"The Challenge Begins"
A few lines of familiar words flashed out in the air, this time, Chen Mu did not have the panic of last time, and shook his head helplessly, while paying attention to the situation around.
"This bird system,I always don't give specific hints when I challenge for the first time.,You have to wait until I fail once.,It's really a system with a bad character~"
With the experience of the last time, Chen Mu moved around very cautiously, but to his surprise, this time, there was no invisible resistance on the entire court. He can go to any corner without restriction by his own heart.
"Drip", "Drip", "Drip"
Just when Chen Mu was testing the situation on the court, a burst of prompts sounded in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw that on the court, a virtual figure suddenly appeared, moving quickly to the front court, and one hand was still beckoning in the direction of Chen Mu, as if he was asking for the ball.
"Sure enough, it's a pass!"
Chen Mu nodded slightly, and with the direction of the wind in his ears, he received a basketball flying out of the air, and then flicked it with one hand and passed the ball towards the figure.
The basketball was fast, and under Chen Mu's terrible passing technique, it seemed unusually clumsy and unobtrusive, far exceeding the speed of the person who was running, and rushed quickly in front of him.
And the virtual figure that ran disappeared.
"Damn, it's really hard!"
The moment he chose the hell level, Chen Mu was already ready, but he still didn't expect that this time the task would be so difficult.
The virtual figure that appeared just now was fast, and the running route was not a straight line, even because of the change in stride length, instead of moving forward at a uniform speed, the running speed was also fine-tuned from time to time.
The position of its palm swayed up and down with its running movements, and it was very difficult to aim.
Chen Mu was originally very bad at passing, and according to the system score, there is only a value of 15 at present, which is worse than the original mid-range shooting value.
Therefore, on the court, every time Chen Mu grabbed a backcourt rebound and wanted to launch a fast attack, he would always accidentally pass it wide, making it extremely difficult for his teammates to receive the ball.
"If I can make long passes with precision like Webb, the team can score a lot more points with Iverson's fast break. It's a pity that my hands are too weak. ”
Looking back at the magician not far away, Chen Mu slowly opened his mouth as he watched, and never closed it again.
"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh"
The magician kept taking the basketball, and on his side, all kinds of virtual figures appeared, ranging from tall to short, fat to thin.
These virtual figures are running, some fast, some slow, some fast and sometimes slow. Each figure has a different height of footsteps off the ground, and the range of hand shaking is also different.
In addition, none of these figures ran in a real straight line, and they all deviated from time to time, and even suddenly ran back.
It is not difficult to judge from the direction of each figure's running that what action they will make after receiving the ball, whether it is an attack basket, an emergency stop, a jump shot, or a dunk.
There are even some figures, starting directly from near the opposite half, rushing towards the basket at high speed, stepping down and flying high, waiting for the magician to pass the air relay.
The magician, on the other hand, is like a master playing a shooting game, with both hands being the extremely accurate sniper rifles, or swinging with one hand, or plugging with both hands, or hitting the ground and passing, or entering in a high-profile manner, from time to time to make some amazing long passes that cross the field.
Without exception, these passes were all delivered to the hands of those images with great accuracy, and with the sound of dripping, each figure who received the basketball would make a follow-up offensive action.
The basketballs either smoothly enter the frame, or are violently buckled, and then the image disappears.
The moment these images disappear, a small number appears at the point where they disappear.
“+2”、“+3”、“+2”
After looking at it carefully for a while, Chen Mu understood that these numbers were the scores scored by the virtual image after getting the magician's pass assist.
And above the scoreboard in the air, behind the magician's name, the number kept beating and quickly accumulating. Behind Chen Mu's name, it is still a big duck egg.
"It seems that this time, the total number of points scored by teammates after assists is ......!"
Chen Mu had completely figured out the mission goal, took a deep breath, and tried to start passing the ball to the image.
When receiving a pass from two people, these images will choose the most accurate and timely pass to catch the ball, and then attack the basket. Based on the experience of the last hell-level mission, it is not difficult for Chen Mu to judge that the goal this time should also be to make his points reach sixty percent of that of a magician.
"In other words, I'm going to compete with the Magic for non-stop passing and assisting?"
Chen Mu was a little nervous in his heart, but he was also extremely excited, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly and said to himself: "Come on, magician, I won't be afraid of you......!" ”
