On March 21, the state championship quarterfinals between Lower Merion High School and Chester High School were held at the Capitol Stadium in Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania.
On the 20th, Ridley High School had advanced to the semifinals ahead of Lower Merion.
That is to say, if Lower Merion successfully advances, they will have another showdown with the "defending champion and six-time Pennsylvania Boss" Ridley High School in the semifinals.
Um……
The title sounds impressive, but for the Lower Merion players who have already slaughtered Reedley High School twice...
Keep a low profile!
Can't expand anymore!
Haven’t you seen what happened to Swartz before?
In the words of Lower Merion center David Rasman: We are a group of low-key and emotionless tools.
By the way, during the pre-match warm-up, Su Feng discovered that the topic his teammates talked about most, apart from the upcoming game, was Michael Jordan.
It is worthy of being the strongest traffic in the 90s.
So what if there is no social network?
Jordan, he is Jordan.
Of course, what Su Feng heard most from his teammates' conversations was people's doubts about whether Jordan could return to his peak.
After all, when the old rogue made his comeback this time, he was already 32 years old.
And most importantly...
Jordan's first performance after his comeback was terrible.
It turns out that even gods can fall from grace.
In the game against the old enemy Pacers, Jordan seemed to be possessed by the souls of the "four great shooting guards" of later generations...
Throughout the game, the "old rogue" made only 7 of 28 shots, 21 of which were missed. While scoring only 19 points, the Bulls also lost to the Pacers in this game.
Fortunately, the public opinion environment in the 1990s was not that bad. After all, without social networks, the cost of attacking others was too high.
Therefore, most media and Bulls fans are relatively tolerant of Jordan, who has been away from basketball for 21 months.
Su Feng knew that there would be many more stories about Jordan's comeback this time.
For example, in the near future, in the playoffs between the Bulls and the Magic...
Magic guard Nick Anderson once mocked, "Michael wearing No. 45 is not as good as wearing No. 23, because No. 23 is like a space shuttle, which can soar into the sky in a whoosh. But No. 45 needs to accelerate and start, and it can no longer fly."
What do you know, young man? You are courting death!
In Su Feng's previous life, many people, after getting tired of the face-slapping plots in online novels, would say in a very "old white" way: This kind of face-slapping plot is too naive, and it is impossible for such a story to happen in reality.
But the fact is...
Reality is so much crooked than fiction.
Su Feng remembered clearly that after being defeated in his comeback, Jordan would beat him like crazy in the summer, and then, nothing happened...
Because after their opponents have set up all kinds of flags, attracted ridicule, and gained hatred, Jordan and his Bulls will slap them in the face.
That's really true. Even novels wouldn't dare to write the plot like this.
In fact, many experts have analyzed that whether it is the Bulls in the last three games or Jordan, it is obvious that the Bulls in the first three games are stronger.
However, the Bulls created a miracle of 72 wins and 10 losses in the next three games.
To put it bluntly...faith can sometimes really create miracles and make you capable of anything.
for example……
Tomjanovich is about to turn to his ultimate move.
Well, we’ve strayed off topic again, let’s get back to the topic.
In the Capital Stadium, Raul Meilien's tool workers were ready to go under the leadership of two blacksmiths.
It is worth mentioning that Su Feng, who originally thought that all the attention would be taken away by the "old rogue", miscalculated again...
Because, not only did Raul Merien not lose popularity to the "old rogue", but she also successfully took advantage of the popularity of the "old rogue"'s comeback.
After all, in the 1990s, it was not easy for the people of Pennsylvania who loved Jordan to go to the scene to watch Jordan.
Not to mention the distance issue, it would be impossible to buy tickets for the Bulls.
Therefore, in addition to television broadcasts, the people of Pennsylvania can only imagine the images of Jordan playing in their minds by reading newspapers and magazines.
However, the appearance of Lower Merion made the people of Pennsylvania suddenly realize that we don’t have to run so far to watch the bulls.
Because don’t we have a “little bull” here?
Kobe Bryant, Su Feng, Raul Merion, the Philadelphia Twins, known as the "Little Bulls". Do you know them?
So, after Lower Merion arrived in Harrisburg, the capital of Pennsylvania, this capital city, which had been increasingly unpopular, came back to life!
Don't be surprised, Harrisburg is probably one of the worst capital cities in the country.
Caught between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, the capital of Pennsylvania cannot even begin to compare in popularity with the latter two.
But, because of Lower Merion, Harrisburg was packed with people these past two days...
Although it's just a high school league, don't question the American people's passion for sports.
Take the NCAA for example. During March Madness, even a football stadium with 100,000 people can be filled by Americans.
What's more, this capital stadium can only accommodate 13,400 people?
"Are we really that popular?" During the entrance ceremony, Su Feng felt it was unlucky to hear the "Su, Su, Su, Su" in the audience.
"Of course, we are the strongest team in Pennsylvania, no, in the United States." Kobe patted Su Feng on the shoulder and said with a smile.
In addition, when , Su Feng also personally felt the second-year level of the American DJ...
"Their fame resounds from the Delaware River to the Schuylkill River. Their talent cannot be concealed even by the sky at the top of the Appalachian Mountains. They are galloping across Pennsylvania like General Washington. They are the twin stars from Philadelphia, the King and the Little King of Lower Merion—"
"Kobe Bryant!!"
“Su—Feng!!”
Su Feng: “…”
Shit, it turns out that Blizzard’s future second-year mentality will be passed down.
I have to say that Americans do have the second-year syndrome.
Because after the DJ finished reading this opening speech, even Su Feng wanted to run to the technical desk to throw magnesium powder.
But just when Su Feng was about to do this, he seemed to hear a voice: Brother Feng, forget it, just give others a meal...
"This is our first game in the race for the state championship! Cheer up, everyone!" On the court, before preparing for the jump ball, Kobe gave his teammates a lecture while looking at them with a death glare.
In the center circle, the person jumping the ball with Kobe is Chester High School center Chris.
Snapped!
Kobe, full of energy and vitality, did not give Chris any chance in the jump ball this time.
Because the last time the two teams faced off in a friendly match, Kobe had lost to Chris in a jump ball, and Kobe, who was always very fussy about these things, remembered them very clearly.
Ball possession for Raul Meillion.
Inside the Capital Stadium, the fans suddenly burst into deafening cheers.
There's nothing you can do about it, this is popularity.
Chester first lost to Raul Merion in terms of manpower.
By the way, the opponent facing Su Feng tonight is still the ultimate imagination monster DeMarcus.
After the game started, Su Feng first ran according to the coach's tactics, and then made a move with the help of Lasman and Stewart's double cover.
Since his last apology, with the help of Kobe, Swartz, who had recognized himself as a tool again, quickly passed the ball to Su Feng.
However, the well-trained Chester was worthy of being the team that Su Feng had KO'd in his senior year of high school in his previous life.
Two Chester High School players immediately came to Su Feng's defense.
On the court, after confirming his gaze with Kobe, facing the double-team that was about to be completed, Su Feng of course -
Kick your legs, stay in the air, and shake your wrists!
The great Iron Shadow heir is fearless!
Swish——!
Beep——!
The ball goes in and the whistle blows!
Because Chester High School's outside line was too fierce, Su Feng, who fell down, completed a move with his amazing acting skills:
Four runs in the opening game!
On the bench at Raul Merion, Greg gave a fierce shake of his fist.
Drew, who was standing by, looked at his father with disdain.
Dad, when Su Feng made his move just now, you seemed to have cursed him with a word starting with F?
Well, actually, Greg has now acquiesced to Su Feng's style of play.
After all, stars have privileges.
Moreover, when Su Feng shot, Kobe was already preparing to rush the rebound. With Kobe's exaggerated bounce, as long as Su Feng didn't shoot too far, the rebound would definitely go to Kobe.
And this is the first step of Su Feng's "sewer data brushing plan".
Use assists to convince Kobe to become his rebounding tool.
Su Feng's reason for convincing Kobe was simple, "Kobe, look, your offensive talent has shocked everyone.
But to play in the NBA, you have to be more comprehensive, right?
You're already averaging over 10 rebounds per game, why not get it over 15?"
"You are fully capable of doing that, and if you can attack directly after grabbing the rebound, it will greatly increase your offensive success rate.
Of course, this will also allow me to shoot more bravely and improve my scoring efficiency.”
Kobe believed Su Feng's lies. There was nothing he could do about it. Who made Kobe worry that Su Feng would not be selected in the future?
In Kobe's opinion, since he was the one who taught Su Feng all his basketball skills, he naturally had an obligation to help Su Feng.
And this is the friendship of steel!
On the court, Su Feng stepped up to the free throw line and made the extra free throw.
4 to 0.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the Pennsylvania crowd, there are also...
Tabloids, major newspapers, small radio stations, major radio stations, photographers, writers, radio reporters, TV reporters, North Carolina scouts, Duke scouts, NCAA scouts, NBA scouts, etc., totaling one hundred and twenty-eight people!
In the stands of the Capital Stadium, Speed, a confidant of NBA executive Mark, was carefully recording the progress of the game.
For some reason, Speed ​​recently heard from Mark that Stern would laugh whenever he saw the report he wrote about Raul Merien.
But……
"My wording was clearly very rigorous." Speed ​​said puzzled.
"Forget it, why think so much, those are matters for the top management."
While organizing his thoughts, Speed ​​wrote in his little notebook:
Su's games always bring people a sense of surprise. His shooting seems to be full of magic. You always look forward to the basketball being handed to him because you want to see if he can continue to make shots.
Speed ​​is not a professional scout, so his comments are more like those of a fan.
On the field, it was Chester's turn to attack.
DeMarcus used his teammates' screen to cut in, but just as he was about to end the attack with his best layup, suddenly...
Snapped--!
Su Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, directly gave him a "KFC Deluxe Peated Basketball Dream Family" meal.
During the winter vacation, with the help of Kobe, Su Feng discovered that there were many skills and details involved in blocking and stealing.
"Your arm span is very long, your palms... are very big, and your fingers... are also very long, so... so you don't need to get too close to your opponent, because, because you can use your advantage to seize the opportunity to inflict a devastating blow on your opponent."
For some reason, when Kobe was teaching him how to block shots, Su Feng discovered that Kobe's speaking speed and tone always sounded like he was speaking with gritted teeth.
On the court, after Su Feng completed the block, Kobe grabbed the second point in time. Look at his reaction, it was as if he was possessed by the soul of Pippen!
Fortunately, Kobe couldn't hear Su Feng's thoughts, otherwise it would have been another endless duel.
Clang——!
Kobe, who grabbed the second spot, went straight in. After Su Feng caught up, Kobe, who was about to do a slam dunk, suddenly stopped...
Kobe gently hit the basketball on the backboard. In terms of height, Kobe also took Su Feng's bounce into consideration.
Su Feng followed without hesitation, jumped up, grabbed the ball, and then slammed it down with one hand!
Well... Although Su Feng's current jumping ability cannot be compared with Kobe, Carter and the like, this ball is definitely not a forced dunk!
Absolutely not!
should……
It shouldn’t be considered as a deduction...right?
At present, Su Feng's jumping ability value is 61, which is considered excellent among ordinary people, but it is obviously still a little bit worse than those outside superstars in the NBA. (The jumping ability value is not equal to the number of centimeters of jumping, so it will be tested later)
6 to 0!
At the beginning of the game, Su Feng scored 6 points in a row for Raul Meilien!
"Come on, sprint towards the NBA!" After Su Feng landed, Kobe and Su Feng bumped fists.
Su Feng nodded, "Sprint towards the NBA."
I have to say that Kobe now already has the shadow of the future Master Turtle.
On the field , the game continued, and Chester High School made another mistake...
This time when defending, Su Feng decisively adopted Iverson-style defense.
With Kobe backing him up, and Su Feng's lateral speed far exceeding that of a high school student, he was not afraid of losing his position at all.
Besides, if you want to get steals, how can you not emulate Iverson?
Of course, after stealing the ball, Su Feng did not forget to pass the ball to Kobe first. After Kobe passed the ball back, Su Feng completed another "gliding dunk".
Emmmm, in Su Feng's opinion, as long as it flies, it is considered gliding!
As for how far it slid?
that's not important!
Also, it’s a slam dunk!
The point is dunk!
8 to 0!
Su Feng scored 8 points in a row and stopped Chester High School.
