Chapter 81 Lin Tian's Second Evolution! Aiming for the All-Star Rookie Tournament!

Lin Tian can complete his upgrade before the All-Star Game starts, and go to the All-Star Game in a stronger state to further enhance his reputation!

Of course, Lin Tian has nothing to do with this year's All-Star Game, as he was not selected for the All-Star Game.

In the 1990s, the NBA All-Star starting lineup rule was that the league would select six candidates from each team in the first month of the season. Fans could only vote and choose their favorite All-Star starters from among these six candidates from each team and the 174 players in the entire league.

When the All-Star candidate list was announced, Lin Tian was far from being as famous as he is now, and he didn't even make it onto the list of All-Star starters!

The person in the same situation as him is the famous magician. When this list was released, the magician had not even made a comeback yet!

而接下来的全明星替补球员，原则上来说是所有没有进入首发的球员都有资格入选的，是29支球队的主教练按照每个赛区1中锋2前锋2后卫2自由人，总计选出14人的规则进行选择。

Although Lin Tian performed well, compared with the established stars in the league and players with higher tactical status and longer playing time, he was far inferior in terms of record, connections, and status.

Therefore, although the All-Star reserve roster has not yet been announced, Lin Tian is already very clear that he has almost no chance of being selected.

Lin Tian's only All-Star game task this season is the All-Star Rookie Game!

After all, his ranking on the rookie list has never fallen out of the top five. Especially in February, as Stackhouse's performance declined, Lin Tian jumped to second place, second only to Stoudemire, who is currently averaging 20+9 per game!

His selection for the Rising Stars Challenge is absolutely well-deserved and expected!

So, after deciding to temporarily refrain from using experience points to level up, Lin Tian continued to throw himself into the competition. In the last four games before the All-Star Game, Lin Tian's playing time exceeded 20 minutes in every single game! Lin Tian finally completed the system task of playing more than 20 minutes in ten consecutive games!

In these four games, the Bulls have won four straight games, bringing their winning streak to 19 games!

Unbeknownst to many, the Bulls have broken their franchise record for the longest winning streak!

Every victory after that was a new chapter in history for the people of Chicago!

Lin Tian, ​​after finishing his last game, boarded a plane to San Antonio with Jordan, Pippen, and Rodman.

This year's All-Star Game was held in San Antonio.

Flying from Chicago is quite a journey!

On the plane, while Pippen and Jordan were sleeping, Lin Tian began to study his skills.

Now, his experience points have accumulated to 1700, and Jordan has naturally contributed a lot to that. The only pity is that this petty guy hasn't dropped any skills in a long time. I wonder if he can provide himself with any new goodies at the All-Star Game.

The first thing Lin Tian did was open the task settlement gift pack he received after completing the system task.

"The host has completed a total of 57 missions. Mission rating: A-! An A-level mission settlement gift pack has been issued to the host. Would you like to open it?"

Huge loss!

Damn, what a huge loss!

Before even opening the gift pack, Lin Tian cursed inwardly, "This damn system! It even has a rating system? If I'd known there was a rating system, I wouldn't have resorted to violence during the match against the SuperSonics! I would definitely have said a few nice words to Jackson during the match to get myself a little more playing time in garbage time!"

How could it not deserve an S+ rating?

Next time! Next time I must complete the task quickly and decisively!

However, regretting it now was obviously useless. Lin Tian quickly composed himself and opened his gift bag.

"The A-level mission reward pack has been opened. The host has obtained a goji berry thermos cup (5 sips): each sip restores 10% stamina, maximum 3 sips per day!"

"The host has obtained an injury/illness exemption card: upon use, it can offset one instance of any injury/illness!"

"Host has gained 500 experience points."

Gone.

How should I put this gift package?

Actually, it's not bad. Although I didn't get the most valuable talents and skills, both the stamina replenishment and injury exemption are definitely good items.

It's really disappointing to get so little after expecting so much over the season!

However, this also solidified Lin Tian's resolve.

Next time there's a task, complete it as quickly as possible!

After opening the task settlement gift pack, Lin Tian began to study his skills. He now had more than 2200 experience points, and his various skills had also made great progress after half a season of honing and actual combat.

After a moment's thought, Lin Tian abandoned the idea of ​​using all his experience points to go all in on the skills "One-Handed Pass" and "Aerial Dance Steps." Instead, he used about 1000 experience points to upgrade the two skills he had painstakingly practiced to level 3!

「挡拆投篮LV3(0/4000)：宿主挡拆后运球2次以内的中距离投篮命中率提升7%。」

「快速传球LV3(0/4000)：宿主传球速率增加5%，传球球速增加5%。」

These two skills are, to put it simply, unremarkable. But for Lin Tian, ​​they represent the starting point of his dream, and out of sentimentality, he's willing to invest a little in them.

Yeah, just a little!

Then, Lin Tian used the remaining 1000 experience points to upgrade the 'Glove Steal' skill he got from Payton to level 2!

"Glove Steal LV2 (0/3000): Increases the host's steal ability by 10%!"

Before Lin Tian could even calculate and study how the two 10% thresholds for glove steal and hand amputation were calculated, the system gave him a surprise!

"Two skills of the same affinity have been detected on the host and have reached the same level. Would you like to merge them?"

Integration?

Lin Tian hesitated only slightly before bursting with joy!

He was very familiar with the concept of fusing skills of the same attribute!

Normally, when two skills are combined, the effect of the ability is doubled, the experience points consumed are reduced, or both are achieved!

In short, whether it's the increased cost-effectiveness or the enhanced skills, Lin Tian has definitely made a huge profit!

"Merge!"

"The system is merging 'Intercepting Hand LV2' and 'Glove Steal LV2'..."

"Fusion successful! Host gains new skill: Glove Removal!"

"Glove Interception LV2 (212/4000): Host's steal ability increased by 17%!"
