Chapter 3: Ten Spins！ Wait... I can win a girlfriend？？

Although Tang Lei performed well, since it was during garbage time, he didn't get a chance for a post-game interview.

Back in the locker room, as soon as he sat down, the crisp voice of the system echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations, host, on the regular season win. You have been awarded +1 attribute point and +2 system coins.]

[Reminder: you still have a ten-spin draw available. Would you like to use it now?]

"Let's do it," Tang Lei responded without hesitation.

[Congratulations, host, you have won $1,000.]

[Congratulations, host, you have won 2 system coins.]

[Congratulations, host, you have won 10 bottles of Lao Gan Ma.]

[Congratulations, host, critical hit! You've won an apartment!]

[Congratulations, host, you have won 3 system coins.]

[Congratulations, host, you have won 100 lottery tickets.]

[Congratulations, host, critical hit! You have gained +2 attribute points!]

[Congratulations, host, the system store has been unlocked!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a Super Three-Point Experience Card.]

[Congratulations, host, you have won a sweet 'girlfriend.']

"What? You can win a girlfriend too?" Tang Lei was stunned when he heard the system's voice.

Being in a foreign land, and as a young man full of energy, there were indeed times when he felt lonely. Having a girlfriend would definitely make life much sweeter.

"System, where's this girlfriend I won?" Tang Lei asked eagerly.

[The 'girlfriend' is in the system space. You can access it with your thoughts.]

"A sweet girlfriend, and you put her in the cold system space? Ridiculous," Tang Lei muttered as he mentally accessed the system space.

However, what appeared in front of him was a lifelike silicone doll, around 1.7 meters tall, dressed in a JK school uniform.

Next to the doll were scattered items like US dollars, bottles of Lao Gan Ma, an apartment key, and lottery tickets.

"Damn it! System, is this what you call a girlfriend?!" Tang Lei couldn't help but curse.

[Please watch your language. Having a doll is already a privilege. This doll is equipped with cutting-edge technology—it can speak, has body warmth, can breathe, and is fully flexible. It will meet all your physical needs.]

Tang Lei: "…"

Exiting the system space, Tang Lei turned his attention to the newly unlocked system store.

The store offered various NBA superstar talents and signature skills. However, all of these were consumable items, and only one talent or skill could be used per game. None of them could be permanently owned.

To exchange for these talents or signature skills, system coins were required. The cheapest ones started at 10 system coins, while the most expensive—Michael Jordan's 'Legacy of the Basketball God'—required 100 coins.

Besides superstar talents, the store also sold functional items like energy drinks and even special medicine for injuries. The more effective the item, the more system coins it required. "Only 7 system coins, so I guess I won't be buying anything from the store anytime soon," Tang Lei muttered as he exited the store.

"System, what do attribute points do?" he asked after a moment of thought.

[The host can access their personal attribute panel and allocate points to enhance their attributes. These upgrades are permanent.]

"Huh?"

Tang Lei was surprised but quickly issued a command to open his attribute panel.

Host: Tang Lei

Profession: NBA player, Golden State Warriors (Two-way non-guaranteed contract)

Age: 19 years and 35 days

Height: 2.02m (+1 cm per attribute point, max +15 cm)

Wingspan: 2.04m (same as above)

D Size: 25 cm (same as above)

Weight: 93 kg (can increase by eating, no need to waste points)

Driving: 80+

Mid-range shooting: 92+

Three-point shooting: 81+

Vertical jump: 93+

Speed: 83+

Defense: 85+

Blocking: 86+

Ball handling: 82+

Stamina: 84+

Charisma: 77+

Attribute points: 3

[Note: Every regular season win grants +1 attribute point, playoff wins grant +2 points, and Finals wins grant +5 points. Breaking records also rewards attribute points, depending on the difficulty, with a maximum of 10 points.]

Looking at his attribute panel, Tang Lei couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. Other than the boosts from Kobe's vertical jump and fadeaway jumper, none of his stats were above 90.

Especially his charisma, which was only 77. That was ridiculous—he was easily a 98 in terms of looks! Could it be that charisma was related to basketball skills and fame?

"Looks like I'll need to earn more attribute points to improve my mediocre stats," Tang Lei thought to himself as he decisively allocated all three points to his three-point shooting.

In the current era led by Steph, where small-ball play dominated and three-pointers were shot from further and further out, not having a reliable three-point shot would make it difficult to compete.

"By the way, system, is there any other way to improve attributes besides using attribute points?" Tang Lei suddenly asked.

Earning attribute points was too slow—only 1 point per regular season win, and most of his stats were below average. At this rate, it would take forever to improve.

[In response to the host, completing specific training tasks will also enhance your attributes.]

Hearing this, Tang Lei couldn't help but feel excited.

Training could boost his attributes too? That meant he could level up even faster by combining both methods!

Just as his excitement grew, the system's voice rang out again:

[Ding! The host has been assigned the first mission: make 888 three-pointers.]

[Mission reward: +3 to three-point shooting attribute.]

Upon hearing this, Tang Lei was thrilled. His current three-point attribute was 84, and with the additional 3 points, it would rise to 87.

On a scale of 100, having an 87 three-point rating would put him among the league's best shooters, even by NBA standards. And this was just the beginning.

Since it was already late, Tang Lei had to suppress his excitement. After taking a shower and saying goodbye to his teammates and coaches, he left the arena alone.

His car was a second-hand one, nothing fancy. Given that his contract was non-guaranteed and he didn't know when he might be cut, there was no point in buying a luxury car. He didn't have the money, either.

Previously, he'd been staying at a cheap hotel, but today he had hit the jackpot and won an apartment, so there was no need to stay in hotels anymore.

Following the system's instructions, Tang Lei drove to a residential complex and successfully moved into his new apartment.

As soon as he opened the door, the table was already laid out with various official documents, all bearing his name—property deeds, residency permits, and more.

The system truly was something else.

The next game was in two days, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles against the Lakers.

Tang Lei couldn't wait to step onto that bright, spotlight-filled stage. Time was running out, and he needed to prove himself quickly!

Just as he lay down on his bed, the system's voice rang out once again:

[Congratulations, host, you've made it to today's NBA Top 10 Plays and secured the top spot!]

[Reward: +3 attribute points, +5 system coins.]

"The Top 10? I'm number one?" Tang Lei was shocked and quickly grabbed his phone to check the NBA highlights.

Sure enough, his highlight reel was the featured play of the day. And the play that earned him the top spot? It was none other than his stunning reverse layup, reminiscent of Kobe's legendary move.

Tang Lei felt a surge of excitement as he watched the play over and over again.

Meanwhile, across the ocean, Chinese social media and netizens were buzzing…
