Volume 1: Those Years in Philadelphia Chapter 10: The campus routine is deep...
Because of the "heroic act" incident last semester, Su Feng has now become a celebrity in Nefaria High School.
During the break, many classmates would take the initiative to greet Su Feng, and some more open-minded female classmates even hinted that they wanted to have an unspeakable relationship with Su Feng...
Of course, Su Feng chose to reject all of these female classmates who had ill intentions towards him.
After all, as Kobe said, human life is limited, and we should devote our limited life to the great cause of basketball.
Well, Su Feng touched his conscience and swore to the sky:
He, Su Feng, definitely didn't think these female classmates who hinted at him were ugly!
Absolutely not!
Otherwise, he would...
cough.
Let’s get back to the topic.
After finishing the first day of school, Su Feng made up his mind to go to the basketball hall first. After all, if he really wanted to make it to the NBA, he had to find a way to play in the high school league first.
…
Bang, bang!
In the basketball hall of Nefaria High School, a group of tough young men are undergoing intensive shooting training with assistant coach Anthony.
Head coach Tony Jones looked at the players in the gym with a worried look on his face.
"Hey, these bastards must not have practiced well during the summer vacation. What are they shooting? My grandma can shoot more accurately than them." Tony Jones sighed.
Just when Tony Jones looked troubled, Su Feng just happened to step into the basketball hall.
As the only Chinese international student at Nefaria High School, Su Feng's entrance at this time should be accompanied by BGM...
Because as soon as he entered the scene, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Hey, isn't this Su?" said Towns, the captain and point guard of the Nefaria High School basketball team, in surprise.
"Is that the superhero?" center Kampa asked suspiciously.
"Oh, I remember, he is on the reserve team!" shooting guard Miles said suddenly realizing.
"Reserve team? No one from the second team dares to come, and he's a reserve team player..." small forward Thomas asked curiously.
Su Feng, who instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, obviously hadn't reacted yet, but Su Feng was still as calm as ever, and stepped forward to greet head coach Tony Jones.
Before coming to the basketball hall, Su Feng carefully checked the memory of "Su Feng".
In fact, even if Su Feng didn't check, he knew that American high school and college basketball placed great emphasis on qualifications and seniority.
Therefore, this is why you can see such introductions as "he became the absolute core of the team in his first year of high school and became the main force in his first year of college" on the resumes of many superstars.
Because players who can make a name for themselves in their first year, or as rookies, at famous American basketball schools are considered great players in the eyes of the world.
As we all know, teenagers between the ages of 15 and 20 develop very quickly. Even if they are only one or two years older, their physical conditions and confrontation abilities will be very different.
Therefore, players who can make a name for themselves in their first year of high school or college are all geniuses.
These geniuses will be highly regarded in their respective schools and enjoy certain privileges...
For example, you won’t be bullied by old hands.
You know, whether it is high school, college, or the future NBA, coaching rookies is a major unspoken rule in the American basketball world.
In Su Feng's previous life, when the little emperor James was in his rookie season, he was considered by his teammate Ricky Davis to be chosen by the team to assist him.
So, in order to train his younger brother James, Davis once asked the emperor to help him carry his shoes...
As a result, Davis is naturally indispensable...
Well, you're bound to be kicked out.
When Yao Ming entered the NBA, he was bullied by many people during his rookie season.
Fortunately, he met Francis, a very loyal elder brother.
Later, Yao Ming showed great respect to Francis because during his rookie season, Francis made it clear in the locker room that Yao Ming was under his protection.
And at Nefaria High School, there is also such a corporate culture.
For example, the second team, the third team, and the reserve team, as long as they are not from the first team, they are all subordinates of the first team.
So, think about it, since all the players except the first team can't play in the game, many players in the second team, third team and reserve team will naturally not be so enthusiastic about training.
Except for the players on Team One, everyone's mentality is to row as much as possible.
After all, not everyone likes to be bullied.
This is also the reason why Su Feng attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the venue.
Of course, there is another reason...
Su Feng is now a celebrity in the school.
"Hello coach, is there anything I need to do today?" Su Feng looked at Tony Jones humbly and said.
Tony Jones was obviously stumped by Su Feng's question.
Because a reserve player...
We can't let him train with the team, right?
You know, when the reserve team was training with the first team, they were all responsible for picking up the ball...
However, considering Su Feng's current popularity and influence, even the school leaders have issued instructions to take care of him...
Tony Jones looked at his assistant coach, Anthony, with deep affection.
Anthony: “…”
Sure enough, a head coach who cannot pass the buck is definitely not a good head coach.
Anthony admitted defeat.
"Su... go change into your uniform and practice with the first team." As expected, an assistant coach without emotional intelligence is definitely not a good assistant coach.
Anthony quickly resolved the awkward situation.
Because in Anthony's opinion, Su Feng probably wanted to come and watch out of interest. After he trained with the team, he should have known that his level was not up to par and backed out.
After all, he is a hero who bravely stood up for justice, so Anthony thinks he should be given face.
…
Soon, Su Feng changed into the uniform of the Nefaria High School basketball team. Well... because it was a reserve team, Su Feng's uniform did not have a number.
For Su Feng, he never expected that he would get the opportunity to train with the first team so smoothly.
After all, in Su Feng's mind, shouldn't there be a few bad guys who speak ill of him, and then he can fight back with Aotian?
Sure enough, there is a gap between reality and fiction.
Tony Jones and Anthony were not stupid. At this moment, Su Feng's enthusiasm for being brave and righteous had not yet faded...
Although the United States does not advocate courageous acts, Su Feng's textbook-like act of courage was even reported in the local newspaper in Philadelphia.
Think about it, if rumors like "the basketball team bullies Chinese students" or "the basketball team bullies Philadelphia heroes" appeared at this time, then Tony Jones and Anthony probably wouldn't be able to continue working in Nefaria.
Anyone who can make it this far is not an idiot.
Besides, even if someone in the basketball team might discriminate against Su Feng, no one would be willing to be the scapegoat at this moment.
Perhaps, Su Feng could never have imagined that an unintentional act of his at school would actually help him twice invisibly.
One time, Kobe felt that Su Feng was a good person, very brave, calm, and spoke nicely, and he could be a close friend.
The time is now, which gives Su Feng an opportunity to change his destiny.
"what should I do?"
Although Su Feng's basketball skills had improved significantly through his daily battles with Kobe, as a basketball player, he was indeed a complete rookie.
As for Su Feng's questions, Anthony seemed very patient. After all, he knew that under normal circumstances, the players of the reserve team would not have the opportunity to train with the first team.
"Next we're going to do is a one-minute rapid-fire drill ."
"See those spots I marked? Within one minute, you have to keep changing your shooting spots and shooting. I will help you time and record your shooting accuracy..."
"Myers, give the ball to Su." After explaining to Su Feng, Anthony looked at a black guy who was about the same height as Su Feng...
Miles spread his hands and casually passed the ball to Su Feng.
The pass was not very good. Su Feng knew that this was because the players of the first team did not regard him as a teammate at all...
After all, the previous "Su Feng" was just a tool in their eyes.
"Huh..." After scanning the shooting points, Su Feng took a deep breath.
Now, it's time to test the results of your special training.
Su Feng chose to start with a three-pointer from the left corner. There were a total of 10 shooting points on the court, 5 three-pointers and 5 mid-range shots. After signaling to Anthony that he was ready, Su Feng...
Start your own performance!
Swish——!
The first shot was a three-pointer from the left corner.
Clang——!
The second shot, a three-pointer from the left at a 45-degree angle, went wide.
On the field, Su Feng frowned, and on the side, the players of Team 1 had formed a circle, ready to mock Su Feng after he had humiliated himself...
Great hero, this kind of ridicule cannot be said to be us bullying you, it is you who came to us to be ridiculed...
"His shooting posture was pretty good, but it's a pity that his true strength was exposed at the second shooting point," Miles complained.
"This one-minute rapid fire is very difficult. Who held our record before?" asked Campa.
"Of course it was Captain Towns. Captain Towns made 11 shots in one minute that time!" Thomas took the opportunity to lick.
"It's nothing, just 11 goals." Towns, who was quite comfortable being licked by Thomas, subconsciously straightened his chest.
At this time, on the court, Su Feng frowned and hesitated for two seconds, then ran to the three-point shooting point at the top of the arc.
"Maybe he's afraid of being laughed at by his teammates and wants to give up," assistant coach Anthony thought.
"Tell the players to be more restrained. After all, Su..." Just when head coach Tony Jones was worried that Su Feng would not be able to bear the ridicule from his teammates...
On the court, Su Feng, holding the ball, suddenly took two steps back.
Yes!
now it's right.
Kicking legs, hanging in the air, shaking wrists.
Swish——!
Members of the Nefaria High School basketball team: "!!!"
"What is he doing? My God!" Thomas said in surprise.
"He just took two steps back?" Campa said.
"Is the ball just now 7 meters away from the basket?" Miles asked in shock.
On the court, before his teammates could be shocked, at the next 45-degree three-point point on the right side, Su Feng also took two steps back before shooting.
Swish——!
Go in again!
And then:
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, clang, swish, swish——!
We often say that if you succeed once, it may be luck, but if you succeed twice, it is strength...
What if success continues?
That is……
Hard power.
Su Feng's one-minute rapid-fire training stunned the players of Team One.
Assistant coach Anthony hurriedly handed head coach Tony Jones a quick-acting heart-saving pill.
"Quick, tell me, I'm not dreaming, am I?" Tony Jones gasped.
"I swear to God, Mr. Coach, we are not dreaming." Anthony said seriously.
"This is a pitcher! God! The pitcher we need most!!" Tony Jones said excitedly.
"Yes, Mr. Coach," Anthony echoed.
"But why did he shoot from such a long distance?" Tony Jones asked.
Anthony secretly rolled his eyes at his head coach, and that expression couldn't be more obvious...
You ask me, who the hell should I ask?
"Oh my god, what did we do before? We just threw the gold into the trash can!" Tony Jones was getting more and more excited. He was about to get high...
Soon, Su Feng's one-minute rapid-fire training was over.
In 1 minute, Su Feng took a total of 26 shots and hit 20 of them.
"It's okay!"
In his previous life, Su Feng had watched Ray Allen and Curry's shooting training on the Internet. To be honest, compared with those great players, Su Feng knew that there was still a gap.
After all, the masters can easily hit hundreds of times in a row...
Therefore, for his shooting training results this time, Su Feng felt that he could only give himself 80 points at most.
Well, I gave 20 points less because I was worried about being too proud.
Just when Su Feng finished his shooting training and was about to ask assistant coach Anthony what to do next, Su Feng discovered that everyone in the entire basketball hall, except him, had been petrified...
Su Feng: “…”
crooked!
Don’t be like this!
Come on, someone who dislikes me, come and humiliate me, then challenge me to a duel, so that I can have the fun of defeating me!
It is clear……
I've read too many Su Feng novels.
In reality, there are not so many tricks.
Reality is nothing more than constantly tricking you, then counter-tricking you, and then counter-tricking you again...
