Volume 1: Those Years in Philadelphia Chapter 11 Treasure Boy Kobe
Su Feng's one-minute rapid-fire shooting training shocked the whole audience.
However, shooting alone does not tell the whole story.
"Su, let's do lateral movement training next!"
After the one-minute rapid-fire shooting training, assistant coach Anthony looked at Su Feng with a completely different look than before.
"good!"
Lateral movement? You may not believe it, but this is Su Feng's strong point.
Su·Jumping back and forth·Maple.
"Great, great. Before, I was worried that he could only shoot, but now I can rest assured." Looking at Su Feng's excellent performance in training, head coach Tony Jones felt like he had discovered a new world.
"Such an outstanding player... shouldn't be..." Assistant coach Anthony was very confused. Although Nefaria is not a strong basketball school, Anthony felt that he would not miss such an outstanding basketball talent.
And then, Anthony became even more confused.
Because in the training of various projects, except for dribbling, rebounding and confrontation, Su Feng's performance can only be described as perfect!
Anthony could even assert that even in the American high school basketball world, Su Feng was a rare and high-quality pitcher.
Unlike the NBA, which is responsible for testing rules and cultivating talents for the NBA, the tactical openness of American college basketball and high school basketball is higher...
In the 1990s, many American colleges and universities began to pay attention to three-point shots, and many teams averaged more than 30 three-point shots per game...
Therefore, during this period, excellent pitchers were quite popular in high school and college basketball.
Of course, the degree of openness of American college and high school basketball is partly due to the need to experiment with tactics for the NBA, and partly because of the characteristics of young players.
You know, a talent like Kobe who skipped college and went straight to the NBA would be a beast in high school basketball...
Some teams that don't have this kind of mythical beast can only work on rules and tactics.
This is also the so-called "poor people use tactics to flourish, rich people use them to explode"...
"Impossible, there is no way I would miss such an excellent pitcher! There are many prestigious schools vying for such a player, even in the NCAA." Anthony has begun to doubt his life.
Tony Jones on the side didn't think so much about the fancy things.
Because in Tony Jones's opinion, why think so much? In his opinion, what he should think about is how to arrange Su Feng's position next and how to use Su Feng well.
To put it bluntly, one should not meddle in matters that are not within one's jurisdiction. Tony Jones and Anthony naturally cannot have the same ideas.
…
After the first training session, Su Feng was quickly surrounded by the players of Team 1.
Originally, these young people were skeptical about Su Feng being a hero sent to save the earth, but after Su Feng had their three views changed, they all agreed that Su Feng was definitely a superhero!
"Can you...transform yourself for us to see?" As the captain, Towns walked towards Su Feng under everyone's expectant gaze.
Su Feng: “…”
Turn you into a banana stick hammer!
Do you want me to shout "Balala Energy"?
"Don't worry, Su, we will never tell anyone. The reason you come here to play must be to cover up your identity, right?" Towns looked at Su Feng expectantly.
Look up at the sky!
How to communicate with a group of people with Chuunibyou?
Just when Su Feng was in a dilemma, it was assistant coach Anthony who came to his rescue.
"Su, come here." Anthony looked at Su Feng kindly and said.
Su Feng was finally relieved.
Otherwise, he really didn't know how to deal with these whimsical teammates.
"Su, can you tell me what you did this summer?" Anthony asked curiously.
In Anthony's opinion, Su Feng must have experienced something unknown to him during the past summer vacation, otherwise, his basketball level would not have made such a qualitative leap.
"I have been practicing hard this summer." Su Feng said to Anthony calmly.
"Then can you tell me how you usually practice?" Anthony continued to ask.
Su Feng did not hide anything, and soon he told Anthony about his usual training methods.
Anyway... these are all things that can be found on the Internet.
As for the story with Kobe, Su Feng did not tell it.
After all, this is not a confession, Su Feng has no obligation and no need to explain too clearly.
"No wonder... No wonder..." After listening to Su Feng's training methods, Anthony was silent for a long time.
Basketball is a sport where it's not uncommon for players' skills to improve suddenly and dramatically.
For example, Hakeem Olajuwon, the league's top center today, only started receiving formal basketball training in college.
Now, everything makes sense.
The reason why "Su Feng" was assigned to the reserve team before was probably because his height was not outstanding and his talent had not yet been demonstrated.
With his physical development and hard training this summer, his talent in shooting has gradually been revealed.
Su Feng never expected that the problem he was most worried about, how to play in the high school league, would be solved so easily.
After the training session ended that day, head coach Tony Jones announced on the spot that Su Feng would join the first team and would participate in the friendly match with Lower Merion High School.
Moreover, the team will officially register Su Feng after the start of the new season.
In order to solve Su Feng's temporary jersey number problem, the former school team substitute shooting guard Miles had to exchange jerseys with Su Feng first...
Looking at Miles with a face full of resentment, for some reason, Su Feng actually thought of the unlucky guy from Xiangbei whose jersey was snatched away by Sakuragi in "Slam Dunk"...
Sure enough, art comes from life.
…
After solving the problem with the school team and putting away his schoolbag at home, Su Feng quickly ran to the field where he often practiced with Kobe.
"Alas... the intensity of high school basketball training simply can't satisfy me!"
Su Feng, who was becoming increasingly harsh on himself, discovered during the team training today that high school basketball training was not only far inferior to his and Kobe's individual training in terms of the amount of missed shots he could obtain, but the intensity was also far from satisfying him.
However, if he wanted to enter the NBA, Su Feng also knew that he had to make a name for himself in the high school league first so that college and NBA scouts would have an impression of him.
You have to know that the 90s are not like the future. It is much more difficult for me to enter the NBA now than for the big devil in the future.
Take Jeremy Lin for example. Although he was the best guard in that session during physical tests and training, experts in the American basketball world just look down on Asian guards.
To put it bluntly, this is not just racial discrimination, but also discrimination by a basketball powerhouse.
It's like in China, you hear that an African table tennis player is coming to play in the Chinese table tennis league.
Therefore, Su Feng not only had to make a name for himself in the high school league, but also had to make a big name for himself.
Of course, Su Feng, who was familiar with this period of NBA history, was also very clear that being a Chinese player and a yellow guard was his disadvantage, but also his advantage.
"Stern should be ready to go to the Great China TV station with the videotape now, right?" Su Feng said with a smile.
"What TV? You're late?" Just as Su Feng was thinking about his future, Kobe suddenly appeared in front of him with a resentful look on his face.
This expression and look were just like when Su Feng was dating his ex-girlfriend in his previous life, but he ended up being two hours late...
"The school team has extra practice today." Su Feng explained after handing Kobe a bottle of sports drink.
"Extra practice? Then you should know who your opponent is in the friendly match, right?" Kobe asked while drinking the sports drink prepared by Su Feng himself.
Hmm... strange, how did Su know that I like this flavor?
"I know. Of course it's the famous Lower Merion High School!" Su Feng shook his head. After getting to know Kobe's personality, Su Feng knew that Kobe was asking for praise...
"Hmm ?" Look, look at Kobe's arrogant look.
"Also, Kobe, the number one high school student in the United States." Su Feng added.
"Hey, come on, come on. Today during training I discovered that you can actually do a fadeaway like this..."
Kobe, who was praised to the point of being vain, took Su Feng's hand, walked to the basket, and taught Su Feng by example.
To be honest, Kobe is indeed a basketball genius. You may not believe it, but just listening to Lao Ke's explanation has made Su Feng make a qualitative leap...
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the hidden skill: Kobe's backward turn."
Su Feng: “!!!”
This is Nima!!
Is this the legendary epiphany?
It turns out that events that happen in reality not only affect one’s potential value, but also have the potential to bring oneself such benefits?
Su Feng discovered that he, who thought he had figured out the system's Ha-Numbers (Note ①), actually knew nothing about the system!
actually……
Su Feng didn't know at all that in the system settings, this kind of hidden skill not only requires the other party's favorability, but also requires the other party to teach him to a certain extent, and he must be able to comprehend and other aspects of the elements...
To put it bluntly...
The system really wants to beat Su Feng, the dead cheater, to death.
Su Feng was so happy.
He really wanted to hug Kobe and give him a kiss.
At this moment, in Su Feng's view, Kobe is simply an inexhaustible gold mountain!
"Kobe, I suddenly realized... you are simply the basketball god in my mind." Su Feng immediately decided that he must increase his praise for Kobe .
It was just that Su Feng's sudden praise almost caused Kobe to sprain his waist...
Of course, Kobe didn't buy into this excessive flattery, "Su, are you afraid that I will beat you up in a friendly match?"
Su Feng: “…”
Sure enough, even the most devout Kobe fan could not understand Kobe's train of thought.
But fortunately Su Feng was smart enough, "What I mean is that you have a very high understanding of basketball. I only know how to learn, but you can create such a wonderful skill."
Kobe nodded, obviously accepting Su Feng's explanation, "Su, don't worry, I won't deliberately go against you in the friendly match."
"Because I wanted to tell the coach of our team that I didn't lie to him."
"As long as Chinese players work hard, they can play better than American players."
"Su, don't let me down!" Kobe Bryant, the senior, looked at Su Feng seriously and said.
Looking at the serious Kobe, Su Feng felt...
This friendly match seems to be more complicated than I imagined...
Because from Kobe's tone, Su Feng heard that Kobe seemed to have introduced himself to his coach?
It’s a headache. Maybe we have to wait until the friendly match to find out the answer.
…
PS: Note ① Ha Shu: Local dialect, can refer to B number, such as saying to the other party: Don’t you have a Ha Shu in your mind? It can also refer to specific circumstances and details, such as: Su Feng found that he, who thought he had figured out the Ha Shu (Note ①) of this system, knew nothing about this system at all.
