After finishing their trip to Orlando, Su Feng and Kobe flew back to Philadelphia overnight.
For Kobe, although he was heartbroken by his idol Hardaway during this trip to Orlando, he also unexpectedly got the opportunity to take a photo with "Big Shark" O'Neal and got O'Neal's autograph...
As for Su Feng, he thought Kobe would take him to "do it" together, but he never expected that Kobe would actually take him to meet O'Neal, and even made himself familiar with O'Neal...
Maybe, this is fate!
…
The next day, at four in the morning.
Although today is Su Feng's joining ceremony, Su Feng and Kobe did not slack off.
Emmmmmm, Kobe definitely didn't come here just because he wanted to eat the sandwich Su Feng made, and Su Feng definitely didn't come here because he was greedy for the amount of missed shots that Kobe could bring him...
"Hurry, hurry, I'm starving. Where's the sandwich?" Kobe said impatiently as soon as the two met on the basketball court.
Su Feng smiled and said, "Don't worry, I made a special breakfast for you today."
Kobe looked at Su Feng suspiciously, "I just want to eat a sandwich."
Su Feng took out a lunch box from his schoolbag and handed it to Kobe.
"What is this?" Kobe asked curiously.
"Tofu pudding." Su Feng said.
"Tofu brain? This... are you sure you can eat it? Gulp... Gulp, eh? It's quite sweet and delicious."
Looking at the food called tofu pudding in his hand, Kobe forgot the taste of the sandwich for a moment.
Looking at Kobe's eating manner that was like that of a senior brother, Su Feng felt that the tall image of Lao Ke in his previous life had completely collapsed in front of him...
"I said, I prepared a spoon for you." Su Feng smiled bitterly. You know, in the United States, tofu is very expensive...
In order to make these two servings of tofu pudding, Su Feng spent a lot of money.
But when I think about the iron value...
"I regard money as dirt," Su Feng thought.
Just after Kobe finished drinking the tofu pudding that Su Feng prepared for him, Kobe discovered that Su Feng's own tofu pudding seemed to be different from the one he had just drunk.
"Why is yours red?" Kobe asked curiously.
"Because mine is spicy." Su Feng replied.
"Spicy?" Kobe felt something called saliva flowing from the corners of his mouth.
So regardless of whether Su Feng agreed or not, Kobe made a steal and then gulped...
"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK!"
Seeing Kobe's frustrated look, Su Feng quickly handed him a bottle of sports drink.
It has to be said that Kobe is a real man, because although Su Feng's special tofu pudding is not abnormally spicy, it is definitely the king of spicy food.
"How can this thing be spicy?"
Kobe returned the spicy tofu pudding to Su Feng like throwing away a hot potato. In addition, the look in Kobe's eyes when he looked at Su Feng at this time seemed to say, "You heretic!"
Su Feng couldn't explain to Kobe, because in Su Feng's opinion, "spicy tofu pudding" is the best, just like rice dumplings must be eaten sweet.
"But just eating this..." Kobe patted his belly and looked at Su Feng eagerly.
Su Feng shrugged, "Don't worry, there are plenty of sandwiches!"
Now, Kobe instantly forgot about the spicy experience he just had...
…
Bang!
After finishing morning exercises, Su Feng and Kobe came to school together.
It is worth mentioning that with the help of Joe Bryant's "face fruit", Su Feng and Kobe were assigned to the same class.
As for Su Feng, many of the students who had watched the friendly match before were familiar with him.
After all, Su Feng's heroic deeds last semester were also well known in Raul Meilien.
"Hey, Sue, that's Tina, would you like me to introduce her to you?"
After arriving at the classroom, Kobe patted Su Feng on the shoulder, pointed at a rather sturdy black girl, and said to Su Feng.
Su Feng shook his head, "I'm not interested in women."
"Tina's father is also an NBA player. When I first came to the United States, she helped me a lot because my English was not good." Kobe said to Su Feng.
Su Feng nodded subconsciously, but soon, Su Feng remembered something...about Kobe's career experience.
Tina...
"Her last name is Lucas?" Su Feng asked curiously.
"Haha, didn't you say you were not interested in women? Let me tell you, Tina is a sports genius." Kobe teased.
really!
Tina Lucas... If Su Feng remembered correctly, the father of this black girl was the famous John Lucas.
The No. 1 pick in the 1976 NBA draft, a Mosaic legend, the current head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, and the future...
Philadelphia 76ers head coach!
Of course, John Lucas' coaching career was not as exciting as his playing career, and the reason why Su Feng remembered him was because Su Feng had read in Kobe's autobiography that Kobe and John Lucas' daughter went to the same school.
But Su Feng didn't expect that the two of them were classmates.
In Su Feng's previous life, after Kobe announced that he would skip college and run for the NBA, John Lucas asked his daughter for help, wanting to see if Kobe, the son of Philadelphia, had reached the level of the NBA.
then……
John Lucas brought Jerry Stackhouse, then the head of the 76ers, to Lower Merion.
Although he was only a freshman, Stackhouse averaged 19.2 points per game in his rookie season. So when Stackhouse saw Kobe's arrogant attitude, he wanted to teach him a lesson...
The result...
Naturally, Stackhouse failed to show off.
According to the recollections of the spectators at the scene, Kobe and Stackhouse won and lost in the one-on-one duel, but Kobe had a slight advantage.
It is worth mentioning that this duel was later known by a time-traveling guy from the Lakers, who then became more determined to choose Kobe in the draft.
It can be said that this one-on-one match made Kobe's reputation soar, and at the same time...it also changed Stackhouse's...
Change the hammer!
Stackhouse, who was defeated by Kobe in the one-on-one match, not only did not curb his arrogance, but was aggressive in the following interactions with Iverson...
In the 96/97 season, in order to gain the right to miss shots, Stackhouse averaged 16.1 shots per game with a hit rate of only 40.7%. His assists per game also dropped to 3.1, which seriously damaged the 76ers' offensive tactics and shattered the 76ers management's dream of creating a golden duo in the backcourt.
And then nothing happened.
Shortly after the start of the 97/98 season, because Stackhouse continued to do his own thing, the 76ers management simply asked him to pack up and get out...
Although Stackhouse has hit a new high in the Pistons since then, in many people's minds can't even be considered a star...
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
After finishing a day's classes, Su Feng's induction ceremony into the Lower Merion High School basketball team was held in the school's basketball gym.
It was called a team joining ceremony, but in fact it was just a process where everyone got to know each other, and then the coach awarded Su Feng a jersey and sneakers.
Of course, Kobe didn't intend to let Su Feng go just like that.
"Su, come and sing a song!" Kobe suddenly spoke at the end of the induction ceremony.
Su Feng glanced at head coach Greg, and Greg nodded helplessly.
All right……
Speaking of singing, this is difficult for Su Feng.
Because although Su Feng can sing only a few foreign songs...
But, how do you sing the songs that Su Feng knows?
Like "Red Plum Blossoms in Bloom", "Moscow Evening", "Katyusha"...
Wake up, Su Feng is now in Damili's home!
Oh, no, wait, it seems that Su Feng can actually sing one or two English songs.
“Ahem…”
After clearing his throat, Su Feng soon began his performance.
“You.know.you.love.me , I.know.you.care.
Just.shout.whenever, and.I'll.be.there……
Like.baby, baby, baby, oh!
Like.baby, baby, baby, oh..."
In the basketball hall of Lower Merion High School, Kobe, who wanted to play a trick on Su Feng, was stunned.
Because although Su Feng's singing was average, the melody of the song was very beautiful...
As one of the few songs in Su Feng's music library, this song "Baby" written by a Canadian scumbag was something Su Feng learned specifically to pick up girls in his previous life...
"It sounds nice, Su. Who wrote this song? Why haven't I heard of it?" After Su Feng finished singing, Kobe led the applause.
Su Feng thought for a moment and replied, "Anyway, it wasn't written by me. Okay, now that we're done singing, Mr. Coach Greg, what are we going to practice today?"
You know, it took more than ten years for this song to be released. It would be a miracle if Kobe had ever heard it.
Su Feng himself was not interested in singing, and even less interested in being a plagiarist. After all, in Su Feng's opinion, what kind of brains did the protagonists in those novels who could memorize scripts and lyrics have?
Apart from some classic movie clips and lyrics, it can be said that Su Feng can only remember one or two English songs.
Alas, the novel is too distorted, the reality is indeed true!
In Su Feng's opinion, entering the NBA, becoming a basketball star, and marrying a beautiful, rich woman is the right path!
Fortunately, Kobe and his teammates didn't seem to care too much. After all, information was not well developed in the 1990s, and there was a lot of music that Kobe and his teammates had never heard of.
Just like that, Su Feng successfully got through with his looks!
…
After a day of training, Su Feng never expected that he would integrate into the team much faster than he thought.
Because Su Feng thought that he was a newbie in the basketball team after all, so before the training started, Su Feng even planned how he should deal with it when his teammates tripped him up.
But……
During training, not only were his teammates happy to pass the ball to Su Feng, but they .
"Are they all impressed by my handsome appearance?" Su Feng guessed cautiously.
Fortunately, after the training, Lowemeiren's utility defender Swartz answered Su Feng's doubts.
"Su, you should know... In fact, we are all very afraid of Kobe." Swartz whispered to Su Feng.
Su Feng nodded.
"Last year, after we lost the state game, Guy said, 'It doesn't matter, the opponent is too strong'... Do you know what Guy went through next?" Swartz still gets chills when he thinks of last season's experience.
"ha?"
"Kobe stared at Gay for 4 hours and 58 minutes. Did you know that? That's not the way most of us stare at others. That kind of look... is like a poisonous snake, yes, a poisonous snake staring at its prey!" said Swartz.
"This..." Su Feng originally wanted to say "As expected of the Black Mamba", but when he thought of Kobe not far away, Su Feng took back his words from the bottom of his heart.
"Afterwards, Kobe asked everyone to train with him day and night, because if we didn't work hard, we wouldn't be able to win the state championship in high school.
But, Su, you also know, Kobe's physical fitness...is that something we can keep up with?
Later on, many old players of the basketball team retired.
And most importantly, even during training, Kobe was very strict with us.
If we don't pass the ball to him during training or games and choose to attack ourselves, it's fine if we score, but if we don't, God knows how long he will glare at us!
But, Sue, you know, today in practice, when we passed the ball to you and you missed it, Kobe... Kobe actually laughed!
Plus, if you scored, he would even pat us on the shoulder and say, 'Great pass, keep it up!'
Su, you are our savior!
I have heard rumors about you, you must be sent by God to protect us!" Swartz said emotionally.
Su Feng: “…”
Look up at the sky!
Sooner or later, I will be forced by you to shout "Balala" and transform into an energy...
However, after listening to Swartz's explanation, Su Feng realized that his teammates actually had a misunderstanding of Kobe.
Because Kobe didn't speak good English when he first came to Lower Merion, he was unable to communicate with his teammates in a timely manner in many cases.
And because of Kobe's strong competitive spirit, he naturally sets high standards for himself and his teammates.
Su Feng patted Swartz's shoulder. Although he wanted to say "thank you for your hard work" to Swartz, but to be reasonable...
Isn’t this how all future Lakers point guards will come from?
…
After finishing the conversation with Swartz, Su Feng looked at Kobe, who was staring at a small notebook, and walked up to him and asked curiously, "What are you looking at? Aren't we going to special training?"
Kobe's eyes at this moment were completely different from usual.
"The day after tomorrow is the day for our friendly match with Ridley Middle School." Kobe said to Su Feng.
“They were the champions last year.”
“He was also the champion the year before last.”
“He was also the champion two years ago.”
“They…have won the Pennsylvania state championship for six years in a row.”
'Isn't this the Sanwang in the comics? ' Su Feng thought.
"If we want to win the state championship, we must beat them!" Kobe said very seriously.
Su Feng nodded. If Su Feng remembered correctly, he remembered that Kobe didn't win the state championship until his senior year of high school. But Su Feng seemed to remember...
It seemed that in his senior year, it was not Reedley High School, which had dominated Pennsylvania for six consecutive years, that defeated Kobe.
"Su, I must win the state championship, I must win it!" Kobe said to Su Feng.
"I know... me too." Of course I have to win it... How am I going to play in the NBA in the future if I don't win the state championship?
According to the schedule of the American High School Basketball League, before the start of the main competition in November, there are friendly matches between various colleges and universities.
Su Feng knew that he still had time to improve.
after all……
Although the level of high school basketball training was no longer enough for Su Feng...
But I have the back door of Kobe.
"Go practice more, Kobe!" Su Feng suggested to Kobe.
"Yeah!" Looking at Su Feng who was working hard, Kobe felt that he had really met someone who understood him...
