Volume 1: Those Years in Philadelphia Chapter 49: The first person to get beaten for money!
After arriving at Maddie's house, Su Feng met the two most important women to Maddie, his mother Melanias and grandmother Robert.
To be precise, this should be Maddie's grandmother's house.
After Maddie's biological father abandoned his wife and children, Melania took Maddie to live with Robert.
Therefore, Maddie has called his grandmother "Mom" since he was a child.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't prepare anything to drink." Melanas said to Su Feng and his group.
In front of his mother, Maddie behaved very well. He sat on a very low wooden stool with his legs curled up obediently.
For a man like McGrady who has a pair of long legs, this sitting posture can only be described as "hard".
But McGrady didn't complain, instead he had a happy expression on his face.
After chatting for a while and introducing himself, Su Feng looked at Maddie's mother and grandmother and said directly: "I want to briefly explain our purpose.
This summer, I hope Tracy can go to Orlando with me for special training, and these three are professional basketball trainers. "
"Go to Orlando for special training?" Melanas and Robert didn't react for a moment.
“Yes, ladies, Trish has an unparalleled talent.
With all due respect, he should not continue to stay at Auburndale High School.
This is my business card. I am a professional basketball strength and conditioning trainer.
I know many excellent high school coaches and have provided services to many famous basketball schools.
I think if Tracy can get better coaching, he will definitely be able to play in the NBA in the future.”
As Su Feng's number one court adviser, Mancias took out his various certificates and business cards and said to Melanas and Robert.
The "Little Emperor" Su Feng looked at his beloved minister with satisfaction. At this moment, Su Feng's thoughts were probably like this: You are worthy of being my Zifang!
After hearing what Mancias said, Melanas and Robert looked at each other.
Melanus and Robert had seen many scammers, but this professional scammer...
Ugh, could he be a liar?
"Su is Kobe's friend, and he is also a basketball player." McGrady, who was a little tired of sitting, stood up and said to his two mothers.
"Sir, we all support Tracy playing basketball, but..." Melanus paused and said, "Can he really play in the NBA?"
Mancias smiled and said, "Dear Madam, I'm afraid you don't know how much potential your son has. Believe me, he will definitely play in the NBA in the future."
On the side, Su Feng actually really wanted to tell Melanus that the son you gave birth to could not only play in the NBA, but could also enter the Hall of Fame in the future.
Just like that, under Mancias's persuasion, Melanas and Robert agreed to let Maddie go to Orlando with Su Feng.
After all, Orlando isn’t far from Auburndale.
"Are you leaving now?" When Su Feng and others were preparing to take Maddie away, Melanas was still a little reluctant to let Maddie go.
There is no way. In the free, democratic and peace-loving America, what is most lacking is great single mothers.
Before leaving, Melanus secretly pulled Maddie aside and handed her a wad of crumpled bills.
Seeing this scene, Su Feng sighed helplessly.
Because in his previous life, as an orphan, he was really...
It’s hard to put it into words!
Among the four great shooting guards, if we distinguish them by wealth, then Kobe and Carter are undoubtedly lucky.
Compared to Iverson, McGrady is also lucky.
In Su Feng's previous life, Iverson once said in an interview that the reason why he played basketball so hard was because when he was a child, his coach would take him to a big meal if he won a game.
And Iverson's so-called feast...
It was just two beef burgers and some sausages.
AI that eats dirt, Kobe that is as strong as a rock, is also a famous joke in Su Feng's previous life.
Let’s get back to the topic.
With the help of Mancias, after successfully convincing McGrady's mother and grandmother, Su Feng's new plug-in was finally settled.
On the way back to Orlando, Su Feng was so happy looking at his new plug-in .
Just wait, Kobe, wait for me to complete my transformation and see how I beat you.
…
Auburndale is only a few dozen kilometers away from Orlando, so after arriving in Orlando, Su Feng first took McGrady to the "Bubba.Gump.Shrimp.Co" restaurant that Kobe took him to last time for a big meal.
McGrady is no stranger to Orlando, because his choice to play basketball is related to the "thin guy" of the Orlando Magic.
Yes, that’s right, McGrady’s idol is also Anfernee Hardaway.
Of course, unlike Kobe who traveled thousands of miles to chase his idol but was rejected, McGrady's idol chasing is like that of a person who is close to the water but cannot get the moon because of poverty.
Su Feng knew that McGrady was now a copy ninja, and many of his dribbling moves were copied from Hardaway.
so……
This kind of dribbling talent that can be mastered after just a little practice is too strong for Su Feng.
While eating, Su Feng saw that McGrady took the time to sort out the stack of bills his mother gave him.
"Tracy, believe me, if you can beat me a few more times this summer, your mother and your grandmother will have a good life."
Su Feng felt that he was the worst. He paid money to get beaten. Who would believe him if he told others about this?
"Were you kidding me when you said you'd give me $100 if I beat you in a one-on-one?"
For some reason, at this moment, Su Feng always felt that McGrady's sleepy eyes were already three-quarters open.
In order to prevent Maddie from opening his eyes completely and causing the world to be destroyed, Su Feng nodded quickly.
"When does it start?" Maddie asked impatiently.
"Tomorrow, at four in the morning." Su Feng said to Maddie.
"Four in the morning? Okay, no problem!"
McGrady felt full of motivation, but he didn't know whether he would regret agreeing to Su Feng so quickly in the future.
Su Feng knew that McGrady's endurance was affected by congenital scoliosis and he couldn't play for too long.
Therefore, during this special training in Orlando, Su Feng planned to get a certain amount of iron points from McGrady at a fixed time and quantity every day.
In addition, before coming to Orlando, Su Feng also drew half a year's worth of nutrient solution.
However, just when Su Feng was preparing to secretly add some nutrient solution to Maddie during the meal, he discovered that the system had specifically reminded him:
Because the host's current favorability with Maddie has not reached the level for sharing nutrient solution, the nutrient solution cannot take effect on Maddie.
"!!!"
I wipe...
Su Feng was stunned.
Because if he remembered correctly, he and Kobe never seemed to have encountered this problem.
"Sure enough, even the system thinks I'm the most genuine fan of Science!" Su Feng thought with emotion.
After proving his identity as a Kobe fan, since he couldn't share nutrient solution with McGrady for the time being, Su Feng naturally had to treat his new tool talent more scientifically.
After all, just like raising wheat scientifically before, Su Feng now also needs to raise wheat scientifically.
…
The next day, at four in the morning.
When McGrady came to the training hall sleepily, Su Feng was already doing shooting training.
"Do you and Kobe have one-on-one games ?" McGrady asked curiously.
Su Feng nodded, "Except for game days, we practice like this every day."
"Well...if I win you, I won't take the $100."
Although McGrady was short of money, in his opinion, since Kobe and Su Feng were friends, there was no reason for him to win money from a friend of a friend in such an unfair way.
And after arriving in Orlando, McGrady was also stunned by the training hall rented by Su Feng.
With the addition of three professional trainers, McGrady felt that even ordinary NBA players would not be able to carry out such special training during the holidays.
In fact, McGrady was overthinking it, because it's not just ordinary NBA players. You know, many NBA star players now only have a salary of two to three million, and after deducting taxes, it may not be that much.
The average strength of the players during this period cannot be compared with that in the future, which is also related to the training level, because in the future, even some role players will have their own training teams.
Su Feng knew that if he talked about money with McGrady again, it would mean that he was looking down on McGrady.
So Su Feng nodded, threw the basketball to McGrady after McGrady finished warming up, and prepared to start today's shooting training.
With the experience of yesterday's match, Su Feng knew that in a one-on-one situation, it would be better for him to let McGrady shoot instead of breaking through.
McGrady’s basket is not very stable now, but his speed is really fast.
Technically speaking, McGrady was still inferior to Kobe at this time. After all, he was one year younger than Su Feng and Kobe.
In this regard, it can be seen from the iron value that Su Feng obtained every time he missed a shot when the system judged that Su Feng and McGrady were dueling one-on-one.
At this time, for McGrady, the miss value that Su Feng could get every time he missed a shot was exactly 1000.
It was exactly the same as what Su Feng had given Kobe when he first met him.
But you have to know that the last time Su Feng and Kobe played against each other, the system determined that the miss value that Su Feng could get from Kobe had increased to 1500 for a missed shot.
On the offensive end, McGrady's most threatening feature at the moment is his breakthrough.
But after Su Feng adopted a defensive strategy of taking a step back, relying on his experience of being beaten by Kobe every day, Su Feng did not suffer a loss against McGrady.
But here comes the problem...
When McGrady entered the NBA, he started out as a defender. Among the four major shooting guards, Kobe and McGrady's defense was well-known.
In Su Feng's previous life, the clever bald man Van Gundy once used McGrady to defend Nowitzki in a big battle with the Mavericks. Don't say it didn't work, the effect was really good.
McGrady is tall and has long arms, and his lateral speed is very exaggerated considering his height.
Su Feng currently doesn't have many ways to attack with the ball, and he is still "unlucky with dribbling". He is not at an advantage when competing with McGrady using his two special skills: "shooting in person" and "turning over and leaning back".
Because McGrady can always use his height and wingspan to suppress Su Feng's shooting.
result……
At 9 o'clock in the morning, when Mancias and others pushed open the door of the training hall, they saw McGrady with a sad and angry face and Su Feng with a happy face.
Maddie regretted it.
Because if he could do it again, he would definitely tell Su Feng that he wanted to take the $100...
Did you know that in a one-on-one match between the two, there was a round where Su Feng and McGrady missed a total of 58 shots before the winner was decided!
This is just one game!
McGrady won with great difficulty, but Su Feng was extremely happy.
Although the number of misses gained by this second plug-in is not as high as Kobe's, it has one advantage...
That is, McGrady will not let the game go like Kobe did.
There is no way, who made Kobe and Su Feng too familiar with each other?
Moreover, Kobe was afraid that beating Su Feng up every day would undermine Su Feng's confidence.
But McGrady didn't want to lose to Su Feng.
Obviously, in terms of tolerance for trash talk, McGrady at the moment cannot compare to Kobe who was well trained by Su Feng.
Therefore, as long as Su Feng criticized McGrady a few words, McGrady would explode.
"Let's end today's one-on-one match here. We'll continue at four in the morning tomorrow." Looking at Maddie, Su Feng smiled.
Maddie: “…”
Will you come tomorrow?
McGrady thought, why not just sneak back to Auburndale?
"If you feel tired, you can take a rest. I'm going to do physical training first.
After all, I am different from you. I will play in the NBA next year." Su Feng said to McGrady.
Maddie: “…”
Kobe can tolerate it, but McGrady can't.
Don't look down on others like that.
Oh, that's not right...
He said he's going to play in the NBA next year?
"Aren't you going to college?" Maddie asked curiously.
"Yes, Kobe and I are not going to go to college. We plan to run for the election next year." Su Feng said.
Maddie nodded, and her heart immediately felt much more balanced.
Because in McGrady's opinion, Su Feng and Kobe must be like him, because of poor academic performance, so...
"Michael will be 33 next year and we want to have a go at Michael before he retires.
Alas, what a pity.
Kobe can score over 1000 on the SAT easily, and I can get 1200 with my eyes closed..." Su Feng said to McGrady with a hint of regret.
Maddie: “…”
McGrady decided that he was going back to Auburndale, immediately!
What the hell, killing someone and destroying their heart?
Well, McGrady is still young.
Because he didn't know that after he stabbed Su Feng's heart yesterday, Su Feng had been thinking of ways to retaliate...
After all, who makes those who have just taken recent science so fussy about every detail?
Looking at his second plug-in, Su Feng knew that if he continued talking, McGrady's sleepy eyes would soon open.
So he patted Maddie on the shoulder and said, "You really need to take a break. Listen, Tracy, I really believe that the two of us can make great progress in this summer special training."
McGrady felt very depressed, the kind of depression that couldn't be appeased no matter how Su Feng tried to comfort him.
While Su Feng and McGrady were "happily" training, on the other side...
…
