All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball
Chapter 610 Those things in Las Vegas that year
Because this summer, the three rookies newly selected by the Heat were all kidnapped to Las Vegas by Su Feng...
Therefore, in order to assemble a complete team to participate in the summer league that is about to start in Long Beach on the 6th, Riley had to temporarily hire a few tools in the free agent market.
As a result, Riley, who was still feeling sorry for Korver's departure, showed the world what it means to be a scumbag on the first day of the summer league.
"Tell Jason to go directly to Las Vegas to find Su after playing in the summer league!"
Riley told the Heat's new "leash coach" on the phone, watching the video Spoelstra sent back to him from Long Beach.
Okay, now comes the problem.
As a very common name in beautiful countries...
Who is this Jason that Riley discovered in the summer league this summer?
"Did Kapono really come to Miami to try his luck because he couldn't find a job?"
In Las Vegas, when Su Feng learned that the Heat had planned to sign Kapono with a two-year minimum salary, Su Feng always felt that in this world, some things were destined from the beginning. .
As another "most accurate man on earth" from the 03 generation in his own memory, in Su Feng's previous life, Kapono was even more famous than some of his contemporaries.
There is no other reason.
Simply because this guy's shooting is so accurate.
In Su Feng's original time and space, Kapono's career three-point shooting percentage was as high as 43.4%.
And in his most accurate season of 2006/07, he shot 51.4% from three-point range, averaging 2.5 three-pointers per game for the Heat.
As a fixed-point shooter, the 203-centimeter-tall Kapono received a four-year, $24 million contract in the summer of 2007 based on his three-point shooting.
You know, before the NBA's salary cap increased significantly, players who could get this level of contract could be regarded as the third or fourth leader of a team.
And if Su Feng remembers it correctly, in the original historical trajectory, Kapono would come to the Heat to try his luck this summer because no one cared about him.
Because after the Sharks travel east, Riley will be looking for pitchers like this that can open up space for O'Neal.
no way.
Because Kapono's movement ability is too slow, defense is almost useless, and when attacking, he can't do anything except fixed-point three-pointers...
So even if he averaged 8.1 points per game with the Bobcats in the 2004/05 season, most teams would not choose to keep him after the trial.
Although in the future after retirement, Kapono proved that he is Jordan on the field when playing basketball...
But in a high-level competition like the NBA...
No bragging, no blackmail.
If you, an ordinary person, come up to play, let alone shooting, your ribs may be broken just by catching the ball.
When he was a fan, one of the most ridiculous comments Su Feng saw was that because a buddy had perfected Iverson's butterfly move based on a video, he felt that he could play in the NBA.
But let’s be honest…
Not to mention the butterfly step, in this non-confrontation situation, in the NBA, except for Klay, who is not the street ball king?
In Riley's view, Kapono's almost zero defense will not be an obstacle to his performance in the Heat.
Because his predecessor Korver was not much better defensively than him.
This life is slightly different from his previous life in that the reason why Kapono came to the Heat to try his luck was mainly because his agent told him that the Heat are the team that likes to shoot three-pointers the most in the league today.
When Kapono heard this, he immediately felt that what his agent said made sense.
Because the only thing he can do in the NBA...
Isn't it just shooting three-pointers?
But on this day, when I learned that the Heat were really willing to provide me with a two-year fully guaranteed basic salary...
Kapono still couldn't believe his ears.
Because this summer, after being kicked out by the Bobcats, every time the trial ended, before Kapono could hand over his resume, the other team would often tell him to get out.
"Which teams have you tried out with before?" On this day, after Kapono was packed and sent to Vegas by Riley, Su Feng asked curiously.
"Spurs, Bucks, Bulls, Clippers, Eagles..." Hearing this, Kapono answered truthfully.
Su Feng: "..."
Good guy!
These teams are actually willing to give you a tryout opportunity instead of just beating you out with a stick?
Absolutely amazing!
Because if Su Feng remembers correctly, the teams Kapono went to for trial training were all teams that averaged less than 17 three-point shots per game in the 2004/05 season.
Especially the Spurs. This summer, after announcing that the team will be coached by "Little General" Johnson next season, it would be damned if Johnson could take a liking to a player like Kapono.
The situation with stags and bulls is a bit more complicated.
The former is because he just wants to fast forward to the future, so he doesn't want to waste time on players like Kapono whose upper limit is visible to the naked eye.
After the latter was traded to Reid, what he mainly lacks now is a Pippen who can help "Jordan".
As for the Clippers and Hawks.
In order to ensure the status of your son Dunleavy Jr., you can't let Dunleavy Sr. sign this Kapono whose defense is worse than Dunleavy Jr., right?
Since the Hawks were put on the right track by the "Smith + Wade" Raptor twins last season, they now only want to recruit more Raptors to form a real Raptor team.
In Su Feng's view, if Kapono had gone to Dallas and Oakland to try his luck before coming to the Heat, Riley might not have had the chance to get this "other most accurate man on earth" for nothing.
so......
For a moment, Su Feng didn't know whether to praise Kapono for his good life or bad life.
"Su, although my defense has been criticized, please believe me, I will definitely strengthen my lateral movement this summer to ensure that I will not hold the team back in defense."
Looking at Su Feng who was stroking his chin and looking at him all the time, Kapono thought that Su Feng looked down on him and said hurriedly.
In the NBA, for role players like Kapono, they know very well that a player of Su Feng's level may directly change their destiny with just one sentence.
Therefore, as long as I can hold Su Feng's thigh tightly...
Even if it means being a bull or a horse, Kapono is willing to do it!
"Defense? Why are you wasting your time on defense?
No... Just look at your defense. Is there anyone here who can't beat you like a primary school student in one-on-one? "
Pointing at McGrady, Carter, Xiao Zhanzhan, Xiao Weiwei, Xiao Guagua and others standing behind him, Su Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said.
Kapono: "..."
"Practice your three-pointers! Next season, as long as you can guarantee your three-point shooting percentage when you are open, the Heat will definitely have a place for you." Su Feng patted Kapono's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Only practice...three points?" Kapono asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Of course, no... Jason, you don't think you don't need to train for your three-pointers now, do you?" Su Feng asked back.
"No, no, no, Su, I mean, do I really don't need to... undergo some special training in other aspects?" Feeling Su Feng's kingly power exuding from the inside out, like a tiger roaring in the forest. Angry, Kapono said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
"Well... there must be special training.
Well, look, here, here, and here...
If you can guarantee your shooting percentage in these positions before the start of next season, then how about I promise you that I will give you at least 15 minutes of playing time in each game? "
Su Feng said, pointing to the positions on the court where he usually likes to shoot snipers.
1...15 minutes?
But this time, Kapono was so surprised that he couldn't even speak.
Regardless of the 2004/05 season, Kapono was able to average about 18 minutes of playing time per game in the Bobcats.
But as far as the depth of the Bobcats' roster...
Can that compare to this Heat?
Not to mention Butler, who still has one year left on his rookie contract.
Even Ariza, who is good at guarding the iron, must be ranked above Kapono.
and......
Su...
Are you sure that if I shoot a three-pointer from the positions you pointed out, the coach really won't replace me immediately?
Looking at the farthest LOGO area that Su Feng pointed at when he made a promise to himself...
Kapono always felt that his three views had been subverted.
On the side, when young Lu Wei saw Su Feng asking Kapono to strengthen his training on long-range three-pointers, the unlucky kid immediately came to Su Feng's side.
"Senior...Senior, actually I also want to train on the super long three-pointer."
Blinking his cute big eyes, young Lu Wei said excitedly.
But after hearing this, Su Feng gave Lu Wei a slap in the face without even thinking about it.
What an international joke!
Your playing style is comparable to that of Ginobili, who can always make people develop cerebral thrombosis even without cerebral thrombosis...
If labor and management allow you to act haphazardly on the court, then why don't you join Ginobili and throw us into collective self-isolation?
"Louis, until you can defeat me in 1V1, don't even think about this." Turning to look at Lu Wei, Su Feng said solemnly.
And this time...
Young Lu Wei always felt that Senior Su Feng was too partial.
Because obviously...
He also has the strength to throw this kind of super long three-pointer!
…
Las Vegas Steel House, as Su Feng's friends gradually joined, this training hall built by Su Feng with huge sums of money suddenly turned into a vegetable market.
Kobe, who was filming "Up" with Su Feng this summer, arrived at the House of Steel a full week later than originally planned.
After the Long Beach Summer League ended, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu arrived here on the 15th and 16th respectively.
Because both the Jazz and the Mavericks hoped to have a closer look at Arab League and Xiao Zhu through the summer league, Su Feng did not interfere too much.
After all, no matter how powerful Su Feng is, he is only Manager Su and Coach Su of the Miami Heat, not President Su of the NBA.
In the Long Beach Summer League, Yi Jianlian performed well.
As the owner of the "Space" series, a new branch of "Phenomenon China", Yi Jianlian averaged 16.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.0 blocks in 5 summer league games for the Jazz.
Apart from anything else...
In Su Feng's eyes, De Xiaopang's skills in feeding cakes were simply a blessing for these inside players who were good at pick-and-rolls.
In Long Beach, Delong not only left a world-famous painting of N pairs of alley-oops with Yi Jianlian...
And in the summer league, when Deron was directly tackled by the opponent for a layup, Yi Jianlian successfully frightened the opponent with his iron fist.
In fact, as long as you know Yi Jianlian, you should know that Yi Jianlian is by no means the kind of player who only gets sullen and dare not fight back.
It's just that in the early years, Yi Jianlian had been restraining his behavior on the court because of the pressure from public opinion from the Chinese media.
And in this life, because Su Feng warned Yi Jianlian before the start of the summer league, he would fight to death as long as he could win...
How does this "Space Yi" care about external comments and fans' opinions?
Compared with Yi Jianlian, Xiao Zhu's shoes can be said to be powerful in Long Beach this time.
On the Mavericks' summer league team, even those veterans who had been in the NBA's lower leagues for many years didn't dare to mess with this guy.
"Xiao Zhu, do you know what I admire most about you all this time?" Su Feng asked Zhu Fangyu on the phone before the start of the summer league.
"What is it, Brother Feng?" Zhu Fangyu, who was a little overwhelmed by the question, asked.
"Of course it's your fearless aura!
I can say my ugly words first...
If you were in Long Beach and lost because you couldn't beat the opponent in a fight, there would be no place for you on the national team in the future. "Su Feng said to Zhu Fangyu on the phone.
In Su Feng's previous life, what he disliked most was that when the Chinese media reported news about players fighting on the court, they often blamed the men's basketball players indiscriminately.
Especially when the Chinese men's basketball team is angry and bullied by others on the court...
The fans didn't even have time to pick up the Coke in their hands and charge with the players...
These "conscious" media outlets wrote articles to apologize and told the other party that it was our fault to hit people, and we would definitely severely reprimand the various behaviors of these players who started fighting.
Just like Trisolaris Rivid said.
Lose humanity, and perhaps humans will lose a lot.
But without the bestiality, humans will surely lose everything.
As the saying goes, if you don't offend others, you won't offend me.
If someone offends me, I will offend him first.
In the NBA, color discrimination still exists even today.
You know, without the brutal impression Su Feng left on the court.
If it weren't for Daba telling O'Neal with his Mongolian wrestling that Chinese players are not easy to bully...
The fate of He Shengzhen in the Trail Blazers is the fate of other Chinese players in the NBA except Su Feng and Xiao Yao.
modesty? Low profile?
In Su Feng's view, it is indeed important to maintain a humble heart on the basketball court.
But that doesn’t mean you need to be “humble” enough to kneel down to the other person.
sorry......
You eagles and rabbits have been kneeling for a long time, so go ahead and kneel yourself.
But as an old man who has witnessed the rise of the Rabbit family...
Over the years, because Su Feng's knees had begun to rust, he could no longer kneel down.
"I hope my juniors will understand one thing when they enter the NBA.
That means you are here to make achievements.
Not to please the fans here. "
Los Angeles, Long Beach.
David Lee, who was also a rookie with Zhu Fangyu, will never forget Zhu Fangyu’s response when the veterans wanted him and Zhu Fangyu to carry bags.
“I know it’s your unspoken rule here.
But I'm here to play and improve my skills, not to be your little brother.
If you want me to carry a bag, then at least you have to be a character.
But if you want to rely on your old age to show off, then I think you have to ask my fist first. "
In Zhu Fangyu's view, it is not a shameful thing for young people to carry bags for old players.
Because when he was in the national team, he also took the initiative to carry bags for Xiao Yao and Brother Feng.
But these people are clearly trying to rely on their old age to sell off their old age, and even have some racial discrimination...
Why should they let themselves, the Olympic champion, carry their bags?
"Now you should know why I selected him in the draft, right?" Davis said to Brown after learning from Mike Brown about these interesting things that happened with the Mavericks in Long Beach.
"But John... Zhu's character, isn't it a little too aggressive?" Brown asked rhetorically.
"Chong?" After hearing this, Davis shook his head, and his thoughts were already drawn back to that summer nine years ago.
It was the summer of three Philadelphia numbers players.
"Mike, you know, of all the young players I coached, there were three young players who didn't carry bags for their seniors in their rookie seasons." Davis laughed.
"Which three are they?" Brown asked curiously.
"Ben, Alan, and Sue."
Brown: "..."
“The old guys like to play tricks on the new guys, mainly so that they can quickly integrate into the team.
But as far as I know, those players didn't want to help Zhu and David integrate into the team during the summer league, so they bullied them, right? Davis asked.
Brown nodded and said, "That's true.
As far as I know, it was mainly because John Wallace believed that Zhu could play in the NBA because of Su's influence, so he incited other teammates to confront Zhu in daily training and games. "
"That's it.
Since others have punched you in the face, why don’t you choose to fight back? "Davis asked.
At this moment, looking at Davis, Brown fell silent.
“Times have changed, Mike.
I found that out during the years I worked with Sue.
We have too many stereotypes about China and Chinese people.
They are not the Asians living in America.
They are a pack of wolves from the east. Davis said after a long sigh.
From the time when Hu Weidong became the first Chinese player to win the NBA championship in the 1997/1998 season, to when Su Feng won the NBA championship for the fourth time in his career in the 2004/2005 season...
For eight consecutive seasons.
No matter how the country changes hands.
No matter how the dynasties change.
The team that finally wins the championship has at least one player from China on its team.
And it is precisely based on everything that has happened in this life...
Only then can Su Feng, a young Chinese player in this time and space, have a different confidence in the sport of basketball.
What Chinese basketball needs has never been a Su Feng or a Yao Ming.
But thousands of young people who dare to challenge the strong.
Las Vegas.
When the film crew of "Soaring to the Sky" officially entered the House of Steel.
Looking at the king standing in the center of the stadium, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net can command the heroes with just one order...
At this moment, there is no mysterious East, nor those stereotypes.
some......
There is only the pressure from the king.
"I still say the same thing...
You came to me to collaborate on this film, not me to collaborate with you.
So when I'm training, I don't want to hear you judging me and my friends.
Since this is my territory.
Then it's up to me! "
