"Haha, Su, you are too weak. I win again this time!"
In Philadelphia, at the indoor basketball hall of the "Old Winton Basketball Training Camp", Kobe Bryant laughed proudly with his hands on his hips as he looked at Su Feng who had once again lost to him in a one-on-one duel.
Speaking of which...
Ever since Su Feng poked Kobe's heart with his big palm last time, Su Feng found that during the entire winter vacation, Kobe would mock him desperately whenever he got the chance.
"Needle" is indeed——
Kobe Bryant.
"Come on, Sue, let's continue to fight it out!"
Kobe, who had amazing waist strength, did not rest either. After taunting Su Feng, he immediately asked to start the next round of one-on-one duel.
Su Feng was speechless.
Because this is not a decider of victory or defeat, it's obvious that I've been losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, losing, okay?
On this day, Su Feng silently made a vow in his heart.
That is, you must prepare a few classic and embarrassing remarks.
When I can beat Kobe, I will teach him how to be Iron Man.
Oh, as a die-hard Kobe fan, Su Feng is naturally also Su·Zhenzhensujiu·Feng.
…
The year came to 1995. On January 23, after finishing the special training during the winter vacation, Su Feng once again underwent evolution.
His jumping ability has increased to 61. Although it is not known whether there is a "dunk" attribute in the system, Su Feng can now easily slam dunk by jumping on one foot.
Perhaps because of his resentment towards "dunk" in his previous life, Su Feng now wants to dunk whenever he has the chance.
"I don't have to worry about being a dunker in the future anymore!" Su Feng thought excitedly.
Of course, Su Feng soon discovered that it was impossible for him to complete a dunk under Kobe's defense.
Su Feng: ORZ.
In addition, after practicing during the winter vacation, Su Feng has now trained Kobe's turnaround fadeaway to the level of a second-round NBA draft pick.
There is no other way. This skill is passively upgraded as Su Feng forges iron. And Su Feng can't just not upgrade his skills for the sake of only paying for the iron value, right?
Otherwise, what's the point of him working as a blacksmith?
Therefore, Su Feng found that since he got this system, he was either pretending to be "depressed" or being really "depressed".
Confused!
"Hey, the system updated my height data?"
“I’m 191.5 centimeters tall now. I don’t know how tall I will grow.”
"I've gained 0.5 kg. How can I gain some weight?"
It is worth mentioning that during the winter vacation, Joe Bryant always drank Coke in front of Su Feng and Kobe. As a result, one day, Kobe couldn't help it and bought two bottles of "Ice Coke".
Why do you want to drink iced Kola in the middle of winter?
Because if Kuole is not icy, can it still be called Kuole?
"Just drink it this time! This is my last bottle of Coke in my life!"
Kobe's self-control was amazing in Su Feng's mind, but there was nothing he could do. No matter how good your self-control was, who could stand being mocked in person every day?
At the critical moment, Su Feng developed new black technology.
Because after secretly adding a little nutrient solution to the Coke...
Su Feng discovered that although the effect of the nutrient solution was offset a little, its effect was still there!
Su Feng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt like he had opened a new door.
So after tricking Kobe into thinking there was a flying saucer behind him and tricking Kobe into looking back, Su Feng also secretly added a little bit of nutrient solution into Kobe's Coke.
After all, Kobe has brought him many opportunities in this life, and Su Feng is not the kind of ungrateful person.
"Hey, why do I feel stronger after drinking Coke?" Kobe thought, could it be that his father was lying to him about athletes not drinking Coke?
"It should be fine if you drink less." Su Feng changed the subject .
"Well, we'll just drink a little bit from now on," Kobe said.
Although English numbers are not as interesting to read as Chinese numbers, at this moment, Su Feng has automatically imagined that the little bits Kobe said are billions.
Of course, the desire for food and drink will only lead people astray.
For Su Feng, even if he discovered how to drink Ice Cola correctly, he would not focus on it.
After all, playing basketball is so much fun!
…
Lower Merion, school basketball stadium.
“Dear coaches and teammates.
In the game against Erie Catholic High School on December 20 last year, I lost the game because I got carried away.
I am deeply saddened by this.
Coach Greg has been taking care of us like a father for a long time.
Kobe is the best teammate I have ever met, and Sue is like an older brother leading us forward.
And David and Guy are my closest comrades.
However, I have failed to live up to your high expectations.
In my opinion, no matter whether the game is crucial or not, we should play every game as if it were our last.
However, I disappointed you.
In the future, I will take this as a warning, reflect deeply on myself, bear in mind the shame, and remember the lesson.
I will cheer up and play every game with all my heart.
I hope my teammates and coaches can forgive me and give me another chance.
I will definitely repay everyone with my sincerity.”
After reading the apology letter with an "aggrieved" look, Robbie Swartz looked at Kobe cautiously.
Kobe was very satisfied with Swartz's attitude. In addition, the special beef burger with iced cola that Su Feng made this morning was simply perfect. Therefore, Kobe decided to let bygones be bygones and forgave Swartz.
After listening to Swartz's review, even Su Feng was shocked.
To be honest, this guy will be a talented person in the future!
"Su, thank you for last year!" After getting Kobe's forgiveness, Schwartz ran to Su Feng and thanked him.
"No, no, but Robbie, did you write this apology letter yourself?" Su Feng asked curiously.
Swartz scratched his head in embarrassment. "My girlfriend has a very good Chinese best friend. This apology letter was written by her best friend for me. It is said that the inspiration came from a certain sport in her best friend's country."
Oh shit!
I was wondering why this apology sounded so familiar!
"Oh, by the way, Su, isn't her best friend from the same country as you?" Swartz suddenly reacted.
Su Feng patted Swartz's shoulder and said, "Don't mention it anymore. It would hurt your heart if you mention it again."
but……
It doesn’t seem to be anything.
Because at least, I can see the miracle of 2001 again in this life.
You know, it was a real miracle.
…
The Pennsylvania High School Basketball League Divisional League will resume on February 16. These days, during training, Greg's worldview has been destroyed by Su Feng and Kobe.
During the winter vacation, in addition to improving his jumping ability, Su Feng also asked Kobe for tips on blocking and stealing.
Because before, Su Feng's defense mainly relied on his attitude and the experience of being beaten by Kobe many times.
But Su Feng found that he was similar to Kobe in height and arm span. Although he was not as good as Kobe in jumping and strength, Su Feng's hands were bigger than Kobe's...
Why can Kobe average four blocks and four steals per game, while I can only average a few tenths of a block and a few tenths of a steal?
Remember, this is just high school basketball.
Most of the time, those who appeared opposite Su Feng and Kobe were weaklings.
Even if there are some that are slightly stronger, they are just the weakest of the weak.
Although Su Feng knew that his defense was very good, Su Feng was also very clear that data... was the key to his future entry into the NBA.
If Su Feng remembered correctly, Iverson was the best defensive player in the Big East when he was in college.
The person who answered at that time was relying on a hand speed that was faster than that of a single person.
But the fact is...
Most of the time in Iverson's career, his defense relied on tenacious perseverance and the spirit of never giving up.
Many players who played against Iverson have put up very good numbers, and the reason is that their physical talents restricted Iverson's defense.
In Su Feng's previous life, which of the top 3D players in the future did not have amazing athletic ability?
Many people say that Klay is mediocre, but in fact, Klay's running distance has ranked first in the league for many seasons.
And Klay has great strength, and he was even able to carry the opponent's inside line during the game.
With such talent, can one be mediocre?
"Hiss! Could it be that they are using cheats?" Greg sighed as he watched Su Feng and Kobe improve at an astonishing speed.
Um……
Su Feng is really cheating.
But Kobe...
Well, Su Feng sometimes wondered if Kobe had a cheat exactly like him.
In this life, after becoming friends with Kobe, Su Feng finally felt what it meant to be a child of destiny and his terrifying speed of improvement.
Su Feng knew that Kobe's learning ability was quite amazing. After he entered the league, his skills would improve significantly every year.
Among the four great shooting guards, if we compare their all-roundness, with Kobe equipped with a passing button, perhaps only McGrady equipped with a "Heart of Iron" can compete with him.
Well, we’ve gone off topic again.
…
…
Time flies, and it’s February in a blink of an eye.
Because American high schools have spring break in March, the high school league game schedule in February is relatively tight.
It is worth mentioning that during the traditional Chinese Spring Festival, Kobe Bryant specially gave Su Feng a videotape that he had treasured for many years...
Uh, don't get me wrong, it's a videotape of Jordan's game.
Su Feng was amused at that time, because it turned out that Kobe treated the Spring Festival as the same holiday as Christmas, right?
However, spending the Spring Festival alone in a foreign country made Su Feng recall the time before he traveled through time.
So, when Su Feng received Kobe's gift, he touched Kobe's head carefully.
Don’t worry, that illusion will never appear in this life!
Su Feng planned to complain to Kobe about the dangers of helicopters every day after he entered the NBA.
Well...actually, helicopters are relatively safe as a means of transportation.
But that doesn’t matter. As a good keyboard warrior, you won’t make things up out of nothing. If you do that, can you still be called a keyboard warrior?
Su Feng believed that under his fierce bombardment, Kobe would definitely stay away from that damn thing.
cough.
Let’s get down to business.
During the Chinese New Year, Su Feng even called his parents to report that he was safe.
Su Feng had called his parents before when he transferred to another school. Although Su Feng had not yet convinced himself to recognize "Su Feng's" parents, he could tell from the phone that these two elderly people cared about "Su Feng".
By the way, when Su Feng's father Su Weiguo learned that Su Feng transferred schools because of playing basketball, he was a little happy.
Because in Su Weiguo's opinion, playing basketball is good, at least it can exercise the body.
Su Feng was made to laugh and cry by Su Weiguo, but in order to prevent them from suddenly being uncomfortable when they heard that he was playing in the NBA, Su Feng felt that he still had to report the situation to them bit by bit.
Just like that, in February, after the divisional league battle reignited, the "low-key" Lower Merion tools, led by two little blacksmiths with a strong desire to win, ended this year's divisional league with a record of 23 wins and 1 loss!
This is also the best district tournament record since Lower Merion was founded.
In the following regional league, Raul Merion won another 8 games in a row.
Since losing to Erie Catholic High School last year, Lower Merion has won 16 games in a row, breaking the school team's historical record again!
After advancing to the final state championship game with an unstoppable momentum, Lower Merion has even become the favorite team of local fans in Philadelphia.
Um……
Do not ask.
It is the tradition of the 76ers to just say that they are bad.
You know, now when Philadelphia fans see Sean Bradley, they want to say the American national curse.
The final state championship game will start on March 20th. Lower Merion’s first opponent will be Chester High School, which destroyed Kobe’s championship dream in Su Feng’s senior year in his previous life, and has the "brain monster" DeMarcus.
The eight teams will play in a single-elimination system, which means that whether or not they can win the Pennsylvania championship will depend on these final three games.
only……
After seeing the date of the game, Su Feng fell into silent contemplation.
He knows it as he is familiar with history.
The amount of excitement that Raul Merion can generate this year will be very limited.
because……
…
…
Let's go back a little in time...
Chicago.
On February 4, Michael Jordan and Phil Jackson officially met.
The Zen Master knew that Jordan had decided to come back at this time.
So, Phil Jackson, who had a good understanding with Jordan, chatted for a while and then got straight to the point: "Michael, I think you can come back at the end of the season."
Jordan nodded without hesitation, "I can start from the playoffs."
Phil Jackson immediately shook his head and said, "No, you need games to recover. How about 25 games?"
Jordan spread his hands and said, "That's too many, maybe 20 games."
Phil Jackson smiled. At this moment, he showed a kind smile like an old man from KFC. "Then 20 games!"
Just after Jordan and Phil Jackson confirmed their comeback, on March 4th...
The Bulls defeated the 76ers on the road, but on the way back to Chicago, the plane carrying the Bulls players and coaching staff had an accident.
Due to cabin depressurization, the plane quickly dropped from an altitude of 10,000 meters to more than 3,000 meters.
Food plates were flying everywhere in the cabin, oxygen masks were falling off the tops of people's heads, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.
According to the recollections of many Bulls players afterwards, their first reaction at the time was: We are going to die.
Fortunately, perhaps God felt that these people should accompany Jordan to create another dynasty, and the plane finally landed safely.
In order to calm the players' emotions, Phil Jackson arranged for the entire team to rest for a day immediately after landing.
And it was on the 5th, the day when the whole team was resting, that Jordan once again came to the Beto Center and found Phil Jackson.
In order to confirm his condition, Jordan hopes to train with the team in the future.
Phil Jackson nodded and agreed to Jordan's request.
At about six o'clock in the morning, BJ Armstrong, who was sleeping at home, suddenly received a call from Jordan.
Armstrong, who had not yet recovered from yesterday's cabin depressurization, rushed to the Berto Center after receiving Jordan's call.
There, he saw a scene that excited him greatly:
Michael Jordan is shooting, rebounding, shooting again, rebounding again…
The memories of the Bulls' first dynasty kept echoing in Armstrong's mind at this moment.
It was as if Michael Jordan had never left.
"BJ, play one-on-one with me." Suddenly, Jordan said to Armstrong.
Armstrong nodded, because although he was looking forward to Jordan's comeback, he also wanted to know if Jordan could still play like he did before.
And Armstrong soon got the answer.
Because Michael Jordan, in casual clothes and casual shoes, easily beat him in this one-on-one.
In this way, Armstrong practiced with Jordan for a whole day.
In addition to confirming Jordan's status, Armstrong also noticed that when Jordan was one-on-one with him, he couldn't describe it in words...
Love for basketball.
Armstrong knew that the Jordan who loved basketball was really back.
On the 6th, when Bulls media relations assistant Tom Smithburger pushed open the door of the training hall, he was stunned.
On the court, the Bulls players were training intensely, and the players' shouts to each other were obviously louder than before.
Then, Smithburger saw a black player in casual clothes easily complete a slam dunk.
At this time, the entire Bulls coaching staff was in a state of surprise, and when they got closer, Smithburg was stunned...
Because of the player who dunked.
Exactly——
Michael Jordan.
Later, in Steve Kerr's recollection, Kerr once said that when everyone learned that Jordan was coming back, they were stunned, but the next second, all the Bulls players immediately had an idea in their hearts...
That is, we are once again the strongest contender for the championship.
Although Jordan's comeback was kept quite secret, the news that he had started training with the Bulls still spread like wildfire.
There has been more and more speculation about Jordan's comeback recently.
Even Kobe, who had always been focused on fighting Su Feng and not paying attention to what was happening outside, had become more and more excited recently...
Su Feng knew that the earthquake that could only be compared to the assassination of the Mili family's chief commander was only a few meters away...
It's coming.
…
…
US time, March 19, 1995.
When Michael Jordan opened the window and breathed in fresh air, he slowly opened his arms. At this moment, he seemed to be announcing to the world: Get ready to tremble, mortals!
His agent Falk was hurriedly revising the press release about Jordan's comeback, and just now, Falk had again negotiated with Stern about the publicity for Jordan's comeback.
Speaking of which…
Stern has been feeling great lately.
Well, those two little guys in Philadelphia are pretty good.
There is hope for the construction of a cross-sea bridge.
In addition, Michael Jordan is about to come back, and Stern believes that the NBA will definitely live a simple and boring life under his leadership!
"Michael, please take a look at the manuscript." After working all night, Falk felt that his literary talent could only be described as soaring.
This 10,000-word press release is not only sensational, but also absolutely shocking.
"I am such a genius," Falk thought happily as he looked at Jordan, who was already immersed in his writing.
"Delete them all."
After a long while, Jordan threw the press release aside and said.
Falk: “???”
What do you mean? ?
All deleted? ?
Do you think my writing is bad?
Or is it that the story I wrote is not sensational enough?
How could it be easy for me to get up in the middle of the night and look up the dictionary?
"Use this sentence!" Jordan took out a pen and wrote a sentence on a piece of paper.
Falk stepped forward and took a look, then he gasped.
The paper read:
"I'm Back!"
