August 2008!
Wukesong Stadium, Beijing.
"Wake up, Li Feng! This is the Beijing Olympics!"
What the heck? Beijing Olympics?
Isn't that from 14 years ago?
Li Feng opened his eyes, slightly dazed.
The vast, modern stadium, a sea of people in front, at least tens of thousands of spectators.
And he himself was wearing a Chinese red jersey.
The full-color LED screen above the stadium clearly displayed:
"Overtime, 3 minutes and 26 seconds."
"China Men's Basketball 76:86 Spain Men's Basketball!"
Seeing Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, who were gasping for breath beside him, Li Feng vaguely felt that something strange had happened.
Li Feng began to desperately piece together fragments of his memory.
He remembered he had stayed up all night to watch TES's final do-or-die match.
It was supposed to be a comeback for TES, but the enemy nexus was only 50 health away from being destroyed.
They were actually overturned!
Overcome with emotion, Li Feng felt his brain suddenly short of oxygen and lost consciousness.
When he woke up, he found himself here...
At this moment, the Chinese men's basketball team had called a timeout, and the team atmosphere was silent.
Meanwhile, the Spanish star players were already celebrating prematurely, chatting and laughing.
As a youth who had read countless web novels, Li Feng quickly accepted the fact of transmigration.
After all, being a national basketball player was quite good.
After a brief moment of calm, Li Feng suddenly realized the current timeline.
This meant that this game was the group stage match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Spanish men's basketball team!
As a long-time fan of the Chinese men's basketball team, Li Feng always felt a sense of regret whenever this match was mentioned.
The Chinese men's basketball team, with their tenacious will, fought against the former world champions, the Spanish, until the last shot!
In the fourth quarter, we even held a 14-point lead.
Unfortunately, the Spanish team, with better rotation, launched a furious counterattack like a ferocious beast in the fourth quarter.
The Chinese men's basketball team, with only six or seven players active, was truly exhausted.
Until the last moment, Gasol's game-tying two-pointer, forcefully made over Yao Ming.
The game was dragged into overtime.
In overtime, the exhausted Chinese men's basketball team had no strength left to turn the tide.
In the end, they could only accept defeat.
To be honest, that was the most glorious moment for the Chinese men's basketball team.
Did they bring me here just to witness the story of Spain's 50-health comeback again?
That would be too tragic, wouldn't it?
...
"It's too difficult! We have no energy!"
"Big Yao can't run anymore!"
"If Gasol's game-tying shot hadn't gone in, we would have won in regulation!"
"Don't blame us! We only have a rotation of six or seven players, and it's already amazing to have fought the full-strength Spanish team this far!"
A cacophony of voices came from the stands.
Head coach Jonas sat on his coaching chair, angrily tapping the whiteboard with his tactical pen.
"Can't you show some spirit? I think there's something wrong with your mindset!"
He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do!
The team's current state was at its lowest point.
Just over three minutes into overtime, they were already down by a full 10 points.
And the starting point guard, Liu Wei, was the primary culprit.
From the opening, Liu Wei had committed three turnovers, forcing him to struggle even to cross half-court under pressure from Spanish guard Navarro!
However, after looking around, Jonas was in a dilemma!
All the usable starters had already played a round, and now the whole team was exhausted, who else could he put on the court?
"Who still has energy! Get on the court!"
Jonas's eagle-like gaze swept across the entire bench.
When his gaze fell on Li Feng, he hesitated for a moment.
This young man was a rookie player who hadn't played yet.
The purpose of selecting him for the national team was mainly to cultivate reserve strength and allow the new generation to gain experience in major tournaments.
Therefore, Li Feng hadn't played in the past two games.
But then again, this kid had achieved a triple-double from the sidelines today with 20 towel waves, 17 drinks served, and 22 shouts of "nice"!
If all else fails...
"There's no other way..." Jonas gritted his teeth and said, "Li Feng, get on the court!!!"
"Huh?"
Li Feng thought he misheard.
At such a critical moment, asking a rookie like him to play?
Are they sure they're not looking for a scapegoat?
"Li Feng, get on the court!"
His mind was in chaos, but Jonas's voice was as firm as iron, leaving no room for doubt!
At this moment, the roar of the crowd at Wukesong surged like a tide.
The cheers of the Chinese fans almost lifted the roof of the stadium.
Screw it, let's go for it!
Swish!
Li Feng stood up abruptly.
At that moment, a cold mechanical voice echoed from the depths of Li Feng's mind!
[Fantasy Basketball System Successfully Loaded!]
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Beginner's Gift Package!]
[Host has unlocked the attribute panel function, which can be viewed at any time!]
As expected, the benefits of transmigration might be delayed, but they are never absent.
Li Feng didn't have much time left!
He quickly checked his attribute panel.

[Use [Beginner's Gift Package] immediately?]
Just then, the system's prompt sounded again.
Li Feng finally regained some composure.
A gift package!
It all depends on whether this can change his fate!
If he could draw Klay Thompson's three-point shooting or Iverson's dribbling and control, wouldn't he dominate Wukesong in minutes!
All in!
Thinking this, Li Feng no longer hesitated and immediately opened the gift package!
[Congratulations to the Host!]
[Obtained a Random S-Tier Star Player Template Set!]
[Upon use, your attributes will be greatly enhanced based on the template type!]
Top-tier template!
Li Feng's heart soared.
He began to anticipate what it could be.
At this moment, the random attribute selection wheel began to spin.
The system's voice rang out.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Historical Top 3D Player Talent!]
...
Top 3D player?
Before Li Feng could react, a virtual screen appeared directly in front of him.
In the upper right corner of the screen, Klay Thompson's figure flashed by.
Then, a cold mechanical voice came.
[Historical Top 3D Player Template Loading...]
[Ding!]
[Template Loading Complete!]
[Congratulations to the Host for successfully fusing the SSS-Tier 3D Gift Package!]
[Host will now gain 100 Open Three-Point Ability!]
[Host will now gain 100 Defensive Strength!]
Li Feng stood frozen on the basketball court!
"Let's go, Xiao Feng!" Yao Ming called out, signaling Li Feng to pay attention to his matchup.
"Coming," Li Feng replied, and walked onto the court.
He could feel an infinite power hidden within him, like a beast held in restraint.
Navarro, the Spanish starting point guard, had already dribbled past half-court.
He saw a young player guarding him and his face was filled with disdain.
He even deliberately waved at Li Feng.
Li Feng's attention, however, was focused on the basketball.
He didn't mind unleashing all the primordial power within him on Navarro.
