Chapter 55 The Jersey of the Bucks Superstar Bob Lanier

After the game, Mike Brown called Tang Long to join him for the post-game interview.

After all, it was normal for him to be hounded by reporters after achieving his first career triple-double.

Mike Brown and Tang Long sat on the bench, looking at the noisy reporters below, feeling a headache coming on. It wasn't until the security guards restored order that he pointed to a reporter to ask a question.

"China Tang, first of all, congratulations on your big triple-double! This is huge for you!"

"At the same time, I'd like to ask you which team you think will end the Cavaliers' winning streak? Tomorrow's Bucks are unlikely. They don't have any superstar players. As for Yi, who is also from the Dragon Country like you, he is far behind you. You are the only outstanding player from the Dragon Country!"

Tang Long frowned and politely thanked him before saying seriously, "Yi's strength is very strong. In China, he has also helped me a lot. I can even say he is half my teacher!"

"Also, there are many outstanding players from the Dragon Country. I am just one of them, and definitely not the most outstanding one. Many new players will surpass me in the future."

"We have many good players in the Dragon Country, they just haven't been discovered. One day, they will all stand on the NBA stage!"

"Thank you."

After another polite thank you, Tang Long left the press conference.

It was clear that this reporter's flattery had backfired and angered Tang Long.

Tang Long firmly believed that future basketball players from the Dragon Country would become increasingly outstanding.

Mike Brown hastily ended the press conference and quickly went to the locker room. Seeing that Tang Long was fine, he finally relaxed.

The Cavaliers arranged hotels for the players. Although not top-tier, they were above average.

As for big stars like James, they could find luxury hotels to stay in on their own, as long as they returned before nine o'clock the next day.

Tang Long had no complaints about the hotel. As soon as he lay down, he immediately entered the system.

The "Fighting with a Ball" skill had been greatly upgraded, not only enhancing his combat skills but also granting an additional buff.

Tang Long clicked on it to examine it closely.

When the host gets angry, they automatically gain an anger boost, providing a positive deterrence to opponents!

Tang Long was slightly stunned when he saw this.

Deterrence?

Could this buff be like the killing aura of soldiers in novels?

Could it instill fear in those around him as soon as it was triggered?

The system didn't provide a specific explanation, only this vague line of text.

There was nothing he could do but wait to test it on the court.

Besides, even without this buff, Tang Long wouldn't be afraid of anyone. Life and death are seen lightly, and if you're not convinced, fight!

He had accumulated quite a few points after so many games.

In addition to the fixed points for wins, Tang Long basically received extra points rewards in every game.

After all, getting a double-double was too easy for Tang Long now!

Matching up against star centers like Howard had also earned Tang Long a large number of points.

Now Tang Long had accumulated 105 points, enough to buy some items in the Level 1 mall.

He immediately started scanning the system mall.

He couldn't afford the purple and gold jerseys of Kobe and James yet, and the prices for top centers like Russell and Chamberlain were also astronomical.

Tang Long could only look at the jerseys with lower prices.

As he was looking, Tang Long's eyes suddenly lit up. The Bucks' jersey was priced at only 30 points.

The owner of this jersey was Bob Lanier.

Bob Lanier was a center in the 1980s, 2.11 meters tall, and his jersey was retired by the Bucks and Pistons.

He averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds per game, undoubtedly an excellent big center.

Most importantly, he played with a tough style and had formidable physical fitness.

He was simply dark, hard, and strong!

Tang Long didn't really need such a jersey. After fusing with Murasakibara Atsushi, his physical fitness was already at its peak!

This kind of boost would only be redundant.

But he could give this jersey to Yi Jianlian!

After all, Yi Jianlian's physical confrontation was not outstanding at this time, especially in the NBA filled with muscle-bound players. Yi Jianlian even felt a bit fragile.

Chinese fans jokingly called Yi Jianlian "Lian Mei".

Because of his lack of physical confrontation, he often relied too much on his shooting touch, making his scoring inconsistent.

The style of this jersey was exactly what could compensate for Yi Jianlian's shortcomings!

Tang Long carefully checked the jersey's bonuses: Strength +5, Rebounding +5.

Besides that, there were no other bonuses.

After all, it only cost 30 points, and these stat bonuses were quite good.

Of course, this might also be because Tang Long had already reached the peak in this area, making this jersey useless for him.

Most of the previous jerseys cost 300 points or more, mainly because they came with other buffs.

For example, LeBron James' Cavaliers jersey allowed Tang Long to use the "bulldozer layup" three times in a game!

And LeBron's Lakers jersey allowed Tang Long to have a "god's eye view" to observe teammates' movements during a game!

Basic stats could be increased through daily training, but skill-based enhancements were something that training couldn't provide.

Some people were born with keen insight, while others could only see what was in front of them.

Therefore, this was the main reason for the price difference.

Making up his mind to buy this jersey for Yi Jianlian, Tang Long asked the system if he could give the jersey to someone else.

【The host can choose to give the jersey to others, but there will be a gifting fee of 10 points.】

Tang Long pondered for a moment and decided to buy the jersey.

After all, the jersey was very affordable.

In later generations, Yi Jianlian carried the hopes of Chinese fans. While they didn't expect him to become a top NBA center like Yao Ming, they at least hoped he could become a starter or a sixth man on a team.

Instead of being unable to even start for the Bucks in his later years, wandering around and returning home dejectedly.

Tang Long did not want Yi Jianlian to repeat the same mistake. This jersey might not be enough to make him a starter for a strong team, but it could at least help him establish a foothold with the Bucks and develop towards a bright future.

Tang Long also knew that Yi Jianlian's strength was definitely more than that.

As he was thinking, he put the jersey away, planning to give it to Yi Jianlian quietly when they met tomorrow.

As for Yi Jianlian's performance tomorrow, it would depend on himself!

The system's Level 2 mall was still locked, but it seemed like it wouldn't be long before it opened.

For now, Tang Long just needed to play well and accumulate points slowly.

Just as Tang Long was about to exit the system and go to sleep, a prompt suddenly sounded again.

【Ding! Detected that the host has obtained their first career triple-double, receiving an additional reward: one Gold Gift Pack. Would you like to open it now?】
