June 14, 1998
"with 35 seconds left in the game, the jazz are winning by one, Stockton is taking the ball to the left corner, protecting the ball he passes to malone"
"rodman uses his body to destabilize malone, jordan goes to help and manages to steal the ball"
"jordan takes the ball to midfield with 15 seconds to go"
"protecting the ball, he quickly advances close to the free throw"
"a quick stop knocks the opposing player to the ground, he unmarked throws."
"and converts!!! chigado is in the lead"
João vibrates and screams watching the television in a small apartment in Rio de Janeiro, jumping for joy without being able to stop looking at the screen.
Joao is 15 years old and lives in Rio de Janeiro, he is passionate about basketball unlike most Brazilians who like football.
Basketball became popular in Brazil because of Oscar Schmidt, seeing this the nba began to act to become popular in Brazil, broadcasting games of the celticts of larry bird and lakers of magic johnson
but the peak of basketball in brazil was when jordan started to win everything possible in the league, to increase the nba's popularity, they started broadcasting a lot of chicago games, and joão, who was a child at the time, fell in love with the sport.
Joao, who has always loved basketball, has always trained hard to become better and be able to play in the nba, although basketball in brazil is popular, not many opportunities to continue to develop.
Seeing this, João had to move on with his life, he got a job and so his life went on.
joão, as a chigago fan, was very sad after jordan's retirement, it was not a good time for the team.
So time passed, as he devoted a lot of his time to basketball in the past, he didn't study and he didn't go to college. then he became a worker who worked twelve hours a day for a small salary
His life was monotonous, he didn't have time to get married and have kids, the only thing he did was work and watch the NBA games that started late at night.
When derrick rose was injured joao took the first vacation of his life to mourn.
So in 2022 from working so hard his heart couldn't take it and he died, he only had two regrets in his life and it wasn't marriage or a better job, but not being able to enter the nba, and that Rose injury, how unfair the world is
John, who had closed his eyes for the last time, could hear a voice in his ears.
{the Career Simulation System is initializing...}
"Which!!"
startled joao looked around and he could see a familiar court, yes the same court he used to practice when he was younger.
"here is heaven" joao said in a deep voice.
{this is not the host sky}
"Who are you!? Show up!"
{calm down, I'm the system made to help you}
then a blue screen appeared with a happy emoji in front of joao
he tried to touch the screen in front of him but without success, after all the system is linked to his soul, and it is not a tangible object.
"system, what is this?"
joao as a work slave didn't even have time to watch movies properly, so of course he didn't know about the existence of novels with systems.
{in short, I am a tool that will help you make your dreams come true}
"fulfill my dreams? I want to play in the nba but I'm too old" he sighed looking at the system
{it's wrong again, if you haven't noticed, you're 18 years old and it's 2002.}
"and truth!" looking at her younger body joao exclaimed in surprise.
but remembering that he was still in Brazil he soon became sad
"No matter how much I train, it's practically impossible for me to play in the nba, although the league has always been present on Brazilian television, almost no Brazilian can play in the nba"
{according to the host's difficulties to enter the nba, I created a gift that will help you}
{receive: newbie pack}
"hmm well then open it please"
{the newbies pack has been opened
receive:
*mastery in english
* 1 simulation
*attention from the agent of leandro barbosa}
So a lot of information related to English flooded João's mind, after understanding the language he asked
"What do these rewards mean?"
