Chapter Thirteen: Recognition

  After the meeting with Mark Allen, Bill Lamb, Zong Fei returned to his apartment without stopping. After today's game, the Wang Dynasty system seemed to have undergone new changes again, and Zong Fei wanted to understand it immediately.

  Summoned the Dynasty system, the dynasty points in the upper left corner of the system homepage have changed from 40 to 150, and today's first game and first loss added 110 points.

  According to the prompt of the dynasty system, it seems that a team evaluation system has been activated. Zhuang Fei clicked on the "Team" option and found that in addition to the original "Player", "Employee", and "Relationship" options, there was an additional "Evaluation" option. Zhuang Fei clicked on the "Evaluation" option, and a column of data appeared before his eyes.

  Team Name: Vicksburg Forest Devils

  Team size: 12 people

  Team Shooting Percentage: 69

  Team Attacking Ability: 70

  Team Defensive Ability: 74

  Team Physical Gifts: 71

  Team Chemistry: 30

  Coach ability bonus: 1%

  Team Ability Evaluation: 75

  Team Potential Grade: A+

  Dynasty Team Report: The Vicksburg Devils are a lottery-bound team lingering on the edge of the postseason, with some excellent players and a certain level of competitiveness. However, the team's cohesion and head coach's coaching ability are subpar, affecting the overall strength of the team. There is no obvious weakness in this team, which has many determined and ambitious players. Moreover, the Vicksburg Devils have the potential to become a dynasty team, it is recommended to replace the current head coach with one who can bring changes to the team immediately.

  "Is the team's ability value 75?" Zhuang Fei was startled by this number. According to common sense, the highest ability in the team is currently Duncan with 88 points, and the second highest is Carter with 76 points. Except for these two people, no one else has an ability value of 75 or higher. Why would the team's overall ability be as high as 75? Zhuang Fei was somewhat puzzled.

  "It seems that the team's rating is not calculated based on the average ability of all players. If it were, I estimate that the team's overall ability wouldn't be this high."

  "When Zhuang Fei saw the team report again, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: 'A general's incompetence can kill three armies, I guess that's talking about me'"

  The team's potential rating is A+, and there is also the potential to become a dynasty team, which seems to be correct. If Duncan, Carter, Wallace, Zbikowski are fully grown, and with high-quality role players like James Posey and Raja Bell, it may indeed be possible to become a dynasty-level team.

  "So what does this 'filled with determination and ambition' mean? It looks like a spiritual attribute, but player abilities don't have spiritual attributes, could it be the player's hidden attribute?" After thinking for a while, Zhuang Fei still didn't get the answer he wanted.

  "Let's think about it later, there are more important things now." Zhuang Fei closed the team evaluation and opened the player option, pulling up Stephon Green's data.

  Stephen Green, 20 years old, Height: 2m06, Position: PF, Shooting: 40, Offense: 42 (Cannot be improved), Defense: 62, Physical Gift: 57, Ability Score: 54, Potential Level: C+

  "It seems that the player's potential is distributed among various abilities, in other words, each player has a peak value for each ability. In future training, attention should be paid to this, such as players like Stephon Marbury, who still have great room for improvement now, but it's clear that they can't afford to spend too much energy on attacking training."

  Zhuang Fei's understanding of the imperial system deepened further.

  "What's more, players can actually improve their ability points through matches. Ragabele and Woliszczak didn't make much progress in training, but after just one friendly match they gained a point, so in the future it won't be possible to let some players train with closed doors."

  After looking at the ability attributes of several players, Zhuang Fei went to the team's ability section. The most frustrating thing about this system for Zhuang Fei was that there was no editing function, which meant that Zhuang Fei could only rely on his own abilities to make the team win. This also increased Zhuang Fei's difficulty.

  .........

  .........

  After the friendly match against Kangda, Zhuang Fei became a real celebrity at Weixinglin University. Walking on campus, he would always be pointed and stared at. At first, Zhuang Fei found it hard to bear, but after getting used to it, he also became indifferent, and his mentality underwent some subtle changes. Fortunately, since it was in school, these students only pointed and stared, occasionally saying a few sarcastic words, without any extra "actions".

  Apart from this, there is another thing that makes Zhuang Fei feel at ease. The principal of Weixinglin University did not blame him excessively for the great loss, but only let Miss Nai pass on a message the next day, indicating that he still has full trust in Zhuang Fei. However, how much this trust is worth, no one knows, it's just that currently, Zhuang Fei's position as captain seems to be safe.

  All of these are bad news, but there is also good news. For example, the team's training has become more intense and their minds have become calmer. Zhuang Fei feels that the players no longer have the same kind of anxiety as before. It seems that these players have grown a lot after a big defeat.

  As the time goes by, the opening of ACC league is getting closer and closer, and Wake Forest University still has four friendly matches to play. The second opponent of Wake Forest is also a team from Big East, West Virginia University Mountaineers, but unlike UConn, this team is one of the ordinary teams in Big East, although they have also entered the NCAA finals before, but that was 36 years ago, their last time to enter the top 16 was 32 years ago, and at that time their leader was Lakers' father Jerry West.

  The game was a hard-fought one for Vicksburg, as West Virginia University's Mountaineers were not strong, but Vicksburg's performance was also not very good. After 40 minutes of fierce battle, Vicksburg University won 59-54 at home against West Virginia University. In this game, Vicksburg still had a weak offense, but because West Virginia University's defense was much worse than that of UConn, it made Vicksburg look not as bad as in the previous game.

  After the game, Zhuang Fei still received a prompt from the Wang Dynasty system after the game. Due to the first victory of his coaching career, Wang Chao added 100 points again, and Zhuang Fei's Wang Chao score reached 250 points. Apart from this, what made Zhuang Fei slightly disappointed was that the Wang Dynasty system did not prompt the players to have any epiphanies during the game like in the first match.

  The victory in this game also relieved Zhuang Fei of some pressure, although he would still be booed at home, but at least he wouldn't be surrounded.

  In the third game, Wake Forest's opponent was the South Carolina Gamecocks, a team that used to be in the ACC and is now in the SEC, which is an even more inferior team than West Virginia. Wake Forest still won this game, thanks to Duncan's 16 points, 18 rebounds, 9 assists, and 6 blocks. Wake Forest defeated their opponent 76-62 at home, and this was one of Wake Forest's best games. In the game, Duncan did a great job as the team's core player, and his connection with Wohlfiel Zebiac was very beautiful. In this game, Wohlfiel Zebiac scored the highest 20 points in the game with 5 three-pointers out of 7 shots, but Carter and James Posey still performed mediocrely, and LaGabeal was still the worst player on the court.

  In the fourth game, Vicksburg High School's opponent was the University of Mississippi Rebels. The Vicksburg home team won 64-55. In the fifth game, the opponent was Louisiana State University Tigers. Vicksburg won again with a score of 68-60. These two games had some ups and downs for Vicksburg, but fortunately Duncan and Wallace Zebrick were always stable. In the two games, Duncan scored 14 points and 16 rebounds in the first game, and 20 points and 19 rebounds in the second game, and also sent out a total of 11 assists in the two games.

  Up to now, the five friendly matches of Vicksen Forest University have all ended. Except for the first match, their opponents were a strong team, and the other opponents were some third-rate teams. Vicksen Forest also achieved a record of 4 wins and 1 loss, which allowed Zhuang Fei to pass through the trust crisis. No matter how strong the opponent is, at least the team has been winning. After the last match ended, Zhuang Fei still heard applause from some fans on the home court, and at least some fans have begun to recognize him.

  There is also the team ability evaluation that Zhuang Fei cares about most, the team's cohesion level has been increased from 30 to 35, and Zhuang Fei's dynasty points have also grown to 290 points. Each victory in a match can earn 10 dynasty points, and Zhuang Fei's own level has also been upgraded from level 1 to level 2, although it is not yet clear what use this level is.

  Vick's forest is gradually becoming regular, and the ACC league will soon be opened.
