Volume 1: Those Years in Philadelphia Chapter 24 I Can't Keep Up With Myself
Su Feng and Kobe, who returned with their "magic skills", have driven their teammates crazy these past two days.
In order to test the power of "Sam Gold", Su Feng and Kobe naturally found various reasons to beat their teammates after training in the past two days.
Although there is no special skill bonus, Su Feng also wants to improve his ball-holding offensive means.
Kobe, on the other hand, wants to take his breakthrough skills to the next level.
Of course, the reason why Su Feng and Kobe asked their teammates to try it out was purely because the two of them were too good at defending each other in a one-on-one match, and they were completely unable to demonstrate the power of this move.
After all, Kobe is not yet "Iron Shadow" at this moment, and Su Feng's dribbling and breakthrough abilities are also limited.
So, a three minute silence for the players of Lower Merion.
Because for a long time to come, what they will suffer is - "Death Stare X2".
Double the joy!
…
On the 14th, it was the match day between Lower Merion and Chester High School.
This was Lower Merion's last friendly game before the Pennsylvania High School Basketball League began.
It is still the home ground of Lower Merion.
In the basketball hall, after watching Tina Lucas lead a group of muscular women in the opening dance, for some reason, Su Feng felt that the bench on his own bench looked more handsome...
"Could this be the fundamental reason why Kobe was obsessed with basketball in high school?" Su Feng thought horrified.
After the cheerleading team finished their opening dance, Su Feng paid special attention to the players of Chester High School when they went on stage to warm up.
After all, he was the opponent who blocked Kobe's basketball dream in his previous life, so Su Feng felt that he was still worth paying attention to.
'I heard from Drew Downer that the main players of this team are all senior high school players.
In other words, they are basically at the peak of their high school basketball career.' Su Feng thought.
Unlike the previous battle with Reedley High School, as more and more friendly matches were played between colleges and universities in Pennsylvania, more information about the strong basketball schools was available.
"So... how weak is Nefaria? To the outside world, there is no need to collect intelligence..."
Su Feng still remembered that when they fought against Ridley Middle School before, Ridley Middle School suffered a great loss because they had no idea of their own strength.
But today, such a situation is obviously impossible to happen.
Because Su Feng noticed that the players of Chester Middle School kept glancing at him when he was warming up.
Su Feng was not stupid, he knew that it was not because he was handsome that people stared at him.
Um……
In Su Feng's opinion, this must be because he was too handsome, so others could only stare at him.
"Yawn!" After sneezing, Su Feng didn't know why, but he always felt that someone was saying behind his back that he should chew two cephalosporins or peanuts...
…
On the court, after the warm-up, the starting players of both teams stepped onto the court one after another.
Today, Raul Meilien still started with Lasman, Stewart, Su Feng, Kobe and Swartz.
"Su, that's Chester's trump card." Before the game started, Kobe suddenly pointed at Chester's No. 10 and said to Su Feng.
“…”
Another ace!
Do you really think of me as a tool?
Su·Defensive tool man·Feng!
Although he really wanted to say to Kobe, "You are my Pippen," at this moment, Su Feng still nodded from the bottom of his heart and said, "Go on, Kobe."
"His name is DeMarcus. He's good at dribbling. When we played against each other last year, I felt that his shooting was not very accurate." Kobe patted Su Feng on the shoulder and said.
Breakthrough type?
Su Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, just in time to test the results of the special training.
"By the way, he tends to get excited easily. When he gets excited, his playing style becomes more unique and he doesn't like to pass the ball." Kobe added after thinking for a while.
For some reason, Su Feng always had a feeling that Kobe was talking about himself at this moment, but after all, Su Feng and Kobe had a steel-like friendship in this life, so Su Feng resisted the urge to complain and continued to nod.
"Leave it to you, defensive expert." Kobe said with a smile.
“…”
Kobe, why do I always feel like you're saying, 'Here you go, my Pippen'?
GTMD Pippen!
Let’s put aside the disliked Mr. Pi for now. On the court, after the players from both sides jumped the ball, the game officially began!
This time, Kobe failed to defeat his opponent in the jump ball.
It’s not that Kobe’s jumping ability is not as good as his opponent’s, but even a jump ball requires luck.
Take the height of the ball thrown by the referee this time, for example. It is obviously more beneficial to taller players.
On the court, Chester High School attacked, and soon, Su Feng knew why Kobe lost to this team in his senior year of high school in his previous life.
First of all, in terms of age, Chester High School, which is composed entirely of senior high school students, has stronger overall combat power. Secondly, the average height of this team is also taller than that of Raul Merion.
Finally...
They are highly disciplined and their playing style is flexible.
Why do you say that?
Because if it was not a team with strict discipline, how could it be possible to organize a wonderful pass and cut through patiently at the beginning of the game, and then retreat quickly and get into position after the attack?
You have to remember that this is high school basketball, not college or the NBA.
Even if it was Ridley High School, which had won six consecutive championships, in Su Feng's opinion, it might not be as good as Chester High School .
Therefore, Su Feng's gaze quickly turned to DeMarcus.
Because if what Kobe said is true, then DeMarcus may be the breakthrough to defeat Chester.
On the court, after being attacked by Chester in the opening minutes, Lower Merion fought back.
Unfortunately, after Kobe quickly passed half court, he found that Chester's defense was very fast and did not give him any chance to get to the basket directly.
And just as Kobe was dribbling the ball and watching, suddenly, Chester's small forward and power forward both pounced on Kobe!
This is……
Double-team?
Although he really wanted to play 1v2, Kobe was not yet the future Hedou Bibi at that time, so after being double-teamed, Kobe quickly passed the ball to Swartz.
Swartz, who felt like he was the "Pennsylvania Magician", did not stop the ball and passed it directly to Su Feng.
And at the moment when Su Feng caught the ball...
Chester's shooting guard and point guard also rushed towards him at the same time!
That’s right!
Chester's strategy tonight was simple.
That is, no matter whether Kobe or Su Feng has the ball, as long as one of them has the ball, they will be double-teamed!
As for the other players of Raul Meilien?
It's not that Chester High School's head coach Conte looks down on people.
Because in his eyes, in Raul Meilien, except for Kobe and Su Feng, can the others... be considered players?
Isn't it just a team consisting of Kobe, Su Feng and three Huskies?
What's the point?
Unfortunately, if Su Feng could hear Conte's thoughts, he would definitely tell him...
What you said makes so much sense, I am speechless!
In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why Kobe played until his senior year in high school before winning the championship was because Lower Merion was his one-man team.
Kobe's ability as a senior in high school was close to that of the NBA, which was enough to destroy the world in high school basketball. To put it bluntly, if Kobe haters use Kobe's leadership ability to make a fuss in the future, some extreme Kobe fans can use Kobe's high school experience to fight back...
Although this is self-deceptive, it is quite sweet, isn't it?
On the court, Su Feng, who was trapped in a double team, suddenly felt a slight pain in his waist...
"I've been practicing somersaults for too long recently. I need to change my training subject." Su Feng thought.
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
Ouch!
Unlimited double team...
Minor pain in the head.
But don't panic!
Because this was still within Su Feng's expectations.
After all, he was a head coach of 30 NBA teams in his previous life by relying on the keyboard, so Su Feng quickly came up with a countermeasure.
On the court, Su Feng passed the ball directly back to Swartz.
Last season, Swartz averaged 39.1% of his three-point shooting, making him a good spot shooter.
At this time, Chester had to pay attention to Kobe and Su Feng, so it was difficult not to miss anyone.
Come on, Swartz, it's time to tell the other side that you are not a Husky, you are an upright tool!
only……
Su Feng passed the ball.
but……
Swartz, who was "obsessed with assists (actually because he was afraid of being criticized by Kobe and Su Feng)", started thinking about life the moment he received the pass from Su Feng.
Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?
Su Feng: “…”
All right……
Swartz didn't dare to attack this point, in fact...
also……
It was also within Su Feng's expectations!
As soon as the ball was passed, Su Feng started running.
Seeing his savior, Schwartz quickly threw the blame to Su Feng, then cleverly hid aside.
And what about Su Feng...
The moment he received the ball, Su Feng noticed that in addition to DeMarcus who was defending him, Chester's point guard also rushed towards him.
'You must get rid of the defense as quickly as possible and complete the shot. Once the double team is formed, it will be a dead end again.'
Fortunately, high school basketball has enough offensive time. At this time, even though Raul Meilien wasted a lot of time, there are still 12 seconds for this offense.
Inspiration formed in Su Feng's mind almost instantly.
Boom, boom, boom!
Su Feng pushed the basketball to the right side of his body while his body tilted 15 degrees to the right.
DeMarcus thought Su Feng wanted to break through him by force, so he quickly slid to the left side of his body.
"He made a mistake!" Just as DeMarcus slid in front of Su Feng, DeMarcus discovered that the basketball that was originally in Su Feng's hand had slipped out of Su Feng's control.
"Good opportunity!" DeMarcus took action immediately!
If nothing unexpected happens, this will be a wonderful steal.
Boom——!
But unfortunately, at the moment DeMarcus reached out to steal the ball, Su Feng's left hand pulled the basketball to the left!
This is--
"Sam Gold"!
Although Su Feng cannot obtain the bonus of "Sam Gold" skill now, but the dribbling skills that Su Feng has practiced in the past period of time are not in vain!
DeMarcus had never seen such offensive skills before. Even if Su Feng's "Sam Gold" was not used well, it could still have a miraculous effect.
However... although Su Feng dribbled past DeMarcus amid exclamations, Chester's point guard was already moving towards Su Feng's breakthrough route.
Ah!
"Sam Gold" is just an opening skill.
Su Feng simply pulled the ball back, took a step back, and when he was half a step away from the three-point line, he opened his hand and shot.
The quick shots in this sport are very similar to those of an elementary school student in the future.
Swish——!
2 to 3!
At the Lower Merion Basketball Stadium, the students were stunned!
this……
What is this operation?
What dribbling skills?
Who saw it clearly?
How did Su Feng manage to get rid of two defensive players and get an open shot?
Even more shocked than the fans at the scene were the scouts and reporters who were present today!
because……
Even though they were well-informed, they had never seen the dribbling skills that Su Feng had just used.
It would be strange if you have seen it... because it will take several years before this trick becomes popular!
"Oh my God, isn't this ball so imaginative?" Duke University scout Wesley exclaimed.
"Did you get it? Did you get it?" Maxon, a reporter from the Philadelphia Evening News, said to his colleague Mills as he put down his camera.
"It was taken, it was taken, you should have taken it too, right?" said Mills of the Philadelphia Chronicle.
"Hehe, I took it. Well, if you didn't take it, this would be an exclusive photo." Maxon said sadly.
"Bah, you old bastard, you kept stealing my camera position when I was interviewing the 76ers game last time, and do you think I don't know? Even if you didn't take the picture, you would have asked Raul Merion's assistant coach for a copy of the video." Mills sneered.
Let’s put the quarrel between Mills and Maxson aside for now.
On the court, while retreating, Su Feng fell into deep thought again.
“Although this goal was scored beautifully, it was the effect I wanted…
But, even such a difficult dribble shot can't stop me now?
My shooting is so accurate...
I'm afraid I can't live like this!" Su Feng thought with emotion.
Kobe, who had come over to bump chests with Su Feng to celebrate, was also stunned after seeing Su Feng's expression.
"As expected of Su... Yes, although this shot was beautiful, if you think about it the other way around, isn't it just a three-pointer?
Su Feng must be thinking about how to open up the situation next, it must be like this! "For some reason, at this moment, Su Feng became taller, more majestic and more brilliant in Kobe's heart.
There is no solution, it’s still the same paradox.
If Su Feng wants to get a higher miss value, he can only practice shooting more than others, not less than others.
If Su Feng wants to obtain unlimited blacksmithing rights, he must prove that he is qualified to do so.
So Su Feng felt...
It's time to add the skill of drifting and shooting after catching the ball, which has a difficulty of 3.6, to your arsenal.
There is also a fadeaway three-pointer.
well……
"It's not that I don't work hard!"
"Yes...I can't keep up with my own progress!"
