"The Basketball God System has been activated!"
"New player perk - Random skill draw in progress..."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the skill - Full-Time Three-Pointer (lv1)!"
The scene before him went from blurry to clear, and Bai Ye's mind instantly became clear.
"nice shot!"
In the brightly lit court, the audience was cheering loudly, the players were running wildly, and the sound of the basketball hitting the ground was both loud and crisp.
What's going on? Wasn't I sleeping at home?
Bai Ye frowned, feeling utterly perplexed by the current situation.
Is he sleepwalking?
Suddenly, Bai Ye felt a sharp pain in his brain as a huge, chaotic mass of memories was crammed into his mind.
Bai Ye, 19 years old, is a freshman at Canaan College and a substitute player on the basketball team. He is currently participating in the National College Basketball League, abbreviated as CUBA.
"What is all this nonsense?"
Bai Ye broke out in a cold sweat and looked around. He then realized that he was not actually in the stands, but in the Canaan Academy rest area outside the court, and he was still wearing the white Canaan basketball team uniform.
After quickly digesting some basic memories, Bai Ye realized that this world was different from his previous world in detail, and was probably a parallel world or something.
But this is a bit outrageous. I've never played basketball before, but now I'm supposed to play in a game? What kind of international joke is this?
What CUBA? Bai Ye has only ever heard of the NBA.
"Personal interface is now open. You can view it at any time!"
A cold voice suddenly rang in Bai Ye's mind, startling him. He quickly looked around, only to find that everyone's attention was on the game and no one was paying attention to him. He hesitated and silently said in his mind, "Check personal interface".

system?
Bai Ye suddenly wanted to laugh. With the golden finger that every transmigrator needs, what is there to be afraid of?
The most important issue to focus on now is still the current task.
Bai Ye's gaze drifted to the court. This match was the last one in the CUBA grassroots preliminaries. The winning team would advance to the regional finals, while the losing team would go home and eat milk.
The current score is 82 to 56 in the third quarter. That's right, the one with 56 points is Canaan Academy.
Bai Ye wasn't quite sure what level the Canaan Academy basketball team was at nationally, but as he gradually absorbed fragments of his predecessor's memories, he knew that the team's ace, Su Chen, hadn't performed to his usual standard.
He seemed lost and disoriented on the court, making numerous mistakes.
Logically, Bai Ye should have asked the coach to make a substitution and take a gamble by playing himself. However, the problem is that Bai Ye doesn't know if the coach will agree.
The previous Bai Ye was very weak, as could be seen from the overall rating on his personal profile.
Of course, if Bai Ye were truly capable, he wouldn't be sitting on the bench as a substitute; he would have already embarrassed himself on the field.
This is also the problem: why should the coach ask Bai Ye, the weakest player on the team, to replace him and Su Chen, the strongest player on the team?
On the field, the whistle blew, and Canaan's opponent, Chengda, scored two more points, bringing the point difference between the two sides to nearly thirty.
Bai Ye glanced at the countdown to the third quarter, which had only two minutes left, and his brows furrowed even more.
No, if this drags on any longer, even if I were a god descending from heaven, I wouldn't be able to lead my teammates to overtake Chengda within ten minutes.
We have no choice but to take a gamble.
Bai Ye walked up to the somber-looking coach Canaan and said, "Coach, let me play."
The coach paused for a moment, then turned to look at Bai Ye, while the other Canaan substitutes were equally stunned.
"You... want to go on stage?"
The coach's expression was a bit strange.
Although it was because Su Chen was not in good form that the score difference in this game was so large, putting aside how difficult it would be to close the gap, doesn't Bai Ye have any self-awareness about his own level? Even if Su Chen is not in good form, does that mean you are better than him?
Such an obvious thing was not only understood by the coach, but also by the substitute players. Therefore, after the initial shock, their expressions became strange, and they watched the show with a mocking attitude.
Bai Ye remained unfazed and continued, "Coach, Su Chen is the most talented player in our Canaan team. He's only a freshman and shouldn't stop here. You should also understand that after this match, he will face more than just guilt and disappointment."
Coach Canaan was taken aback, then realized what Bai Ye meant.
"So, you're only a freshman. Do you think you've already reached the end, or do you think you have a strong enough mentality?"
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow in surprise, but continued, "Using a small investment to protect a large one only means you can earn more or less."
The coach let out a deep breath and nodded in agreement.
After the whistle blew, Canaan made a substitution, with Su Chen leaving the field and Bai Ye entering.
Su Chen walked off the field in a daze, and the other four Canaan players were also full of surprise, not understanding why Bai Ye was the one to play.
Bai Ye glanced expressionlessly at the countdown timer for the third quarter; there were only a little over two minutes left.
So let's start by building up our momentum.
