All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball

Chapter 84 What happened in Long Beach that year

In Philadelphia, when Mills rushed to Su Feng's training base, the future Usain Bolt coach wanted to curse him with the Jamaican national curse.

"you you you......"

After meeting Su Feng, Mills felt like he was mad to death.

Especially after pinching Su Feng's buttocks, thighs, and calves twice, and making Su Feng do a short sprint, Mills couldn't bear it anymore.

What a sin!

"You are wasting your talent!

You are throwing gold into the rubble without even realizing it!

You are ruining and demeaning yourself! "

Of course, Mills's Jamaican English is not that fluent, but when translated, the meaning is roughly the same.

Mills is crazy.

Because in his opinion, as long as he is given 4 years, he can make Su Feng appear on the Olympic stage!

If Su Feng is willing to give him 8 years, then he will bring out a player who can win an Olympic medal!

Well, although Mills admitted that this view was a bit exaggerated, and even meant to trick Su Feng into practicing sprinting.

But Mills, who had a unique vision, could tell at a glance that Su Feng was a one-of-a-kind sprinting prodigy.

Although no Chinese 100-meter athlete has ever run under 10 seconds at this time, Mills firmly believes in his judgment.

He believed that Su Feng was sent by God to tell the world: Asians can fly too!

Don't doubt Mills's vision, because he was the one who brought out the future Bolt who loves to eat junk food and has a lazy personality.

And after the system maximized his speed talent, Su Feng himself could also feel the recent changes in his body.

In general it is...

Mills was right.

Because the template for Su Feng's speed matching is the future Jamaican flying star who will break the limits of mankind.

"No, you must not play basketball, it's such a waste!"

Mills swore that he would let Su Feng change his career to practice sprinting!

Play a good basketball, breaking the limits of human beings is the meaning of life, Hundan!

Su Feng was helpless, Hong Kong Zhen, he didn't expect Mills to be such a dreamy person.

"I won't practice sprinting." Su Feng looked at Mills and said.

Mills, who was not tall, almost burst into tears...

He turned to look at Mancias, Frazier, Alan Stein, and Ben Wallace who was making sandwiches, "You all come to judge!

He...he is making a secret move! "

At this moment, the three tool men looked up to the sky in tacit understanding, huh?

What is sprinting?

If Su Feng stops playing basketball, who will take care of us?

Go away from the peat sprint dream, basketball is the way to go!

As for the big book...

When he noticed that Mills was looking at him, Ben, who was confused about the situation, looked at Mills and said, "Su, Su is right!"

Mills: "..."

Heaven, earth!

Why should I, Mills, discover such a sprinting wizard, but he wants to play basketball?

For Mills, who has been engaged in sprinting for decades, his lifelong dream is to train a flying man who can break human limits.

But......

It’s uncomfortable, so uncomfortable.

“Okay, let’s get down to business, I want to improve my sprint speed.

The most important thing is the sprint speed of 3/4 of the court. Su Feng said, patting the frustrated Mills on the shoulder.

"What?" Mills was shocked. You have such a strong talent, and you only practice...

So short?

"I play basketball, not sprint. What is a hundred meters?

What is two hundred meters? I'm not interested anyway. "

Su Feng's voice was very calm at this moment, but to Mills' ears, every word Su Feng said was like sharp knives thrust into his chest.

Su Feng knew that Mills would meet another one-of-a-kind sprint wizard in the future.

So he looked at Mills and smiled and said, "Well, how about doubling what I promised you before?"

Mills's eyes lit up, and he immediately put the so-called dream aside, "This short-distance sprint, let me tell you..."

In this way, under the guidance of Mills, Su Feng's happy "sprint" training began.

A week later, when the 76ers summer league team was preparing to set off, Su Feng couldn't say how happy he was when he saw his skyrocketing speed attributes.

A sprint genius who has terrible talent but has never received formal sprint training.

Coupled with the combination of systematic supreme nutrient solution...

Before Su Feng was about to leave for Long Beach, Su Feng's sprint training results shocked all members of the "Blacksmithing Team".

"The current speed attribute of the host is 80 [120], and the classification status is as follows:

Running speed without the ball: 82, acceleration with the ball 75, ultimate sprint speed 83. "

In fact, Su Feng was well aware of this wave of promotions.

Because there is a huge gap between ability and potential, this kind of skyrocketing is normal.

After all, with the help of Mancias and the others, Su Feng's various body functions had already laid a good foundation.

To put it bluntly, his physical talent has already broken the ceiling for Asians in a sense.

You know, before Mills came, Su Feng's speed attribute had increased by several points.

However, Su Feng's running without the ball and extreme sprinting have improved a lot this time, but his acceleration with the ball is limited by his dribbling and ball control, and he has not yet broken through the 80 threshold.

Su Feng plans to wait for one and a half months after returning from Long Beach to hit the mark of 90 off-the-ball speed and the ultimate sprint speed.

As the current ability value gets higher, it is difficult for Su Feng's ability value to increase as quickly as before.

But after checking the speed attributes of Lao Hooligan and Iverson, Su Feng knew that the attribute of 90 speed was a threshold for the NBA.

Su Feng's current speed is excellent among the perimeter players in the NBA at the moment, but it is definitely not on the front line. (Refers to current ability, not potential)

Therefore, it is crucial for Su Feng to be able to use his exaggerated speed talent to break through the 90 limit this summer.

In addition, on the premise of not switching to sprinting, Su Feng estimated that maintaining his speed at around 100 in the future would be the limit.

After all, Su Feng will definitely gradually gain weight to 100 kilograms in the future.

In a reasonable system, ability values ​​are closely related to each other, so in Su Feng's view, taking a partial path of comprehensive development is the best way to go.

And there is a saying, if Su Feng can develop his speed to 100 in the future, then he will definitely be a jet in the NBA.

It is worth mentioning that Mills felt sad again when watching Su Feng leave the training base.

In fact, Su Feng could understand Mills's mood very well.

Because this is the same as those coaches who fooled Iverson and Ben into playing football.

It's a pity that Su Feng only loved basketball in his previous life.

By the way, the 76ers' lineup for the Long Beach Summer League this year is extremely luxurious.

In addition to Iverson, Su Feng, and Ben...

There are also Mark Hendrickson, a white man selected by the 76ers with the second overall pick in the second round of the 1996 draft, Frank King, a small guard who played for the Lakers last year, and a man with the experience of wandering in many NBA teams. Forward Joe Cownett. (The 76ers had two second-round picks in the 1996 draft, and the other was given to the Hornets when they traded Su Feng)

In short, with this lineup, the only thing I can say when I pull it out in the summer league is: Which of you will take second place?

Su Feng remembered that in his previous life, the 76ers were the champions of the Long Beach Summer League.

In this life, after he and Big Ben joined, Su Feng felt that winning the championship was no longer difficult. The only thing he was looking forward to was the game between the 76ers and the Lakers in the summer league.

Um......

Being able to beat Kobe in an honest and fair manner, for Su Feng, this is such a happy and exciting thing!

It is worth mentioning that, just like in Su Feng’s memory, the Chinese men’s basketball team will also participate in the Long Beach Summer League.

They will play against the Lakers before flying to Atlanta for the Olympics.

In Su Feng's previous life, there was a reason why the Lakers were so popular in China.

In fact, Bass was one of the first league owners to respond to Stern's call to expand into the Chinese market.

Because in 1997, the Lakers would still play a game with the Chinese men's basketball team.

The future Mavericks can only be regarded as latecomers, and that was already after Nelson joined the Mavericks.

Nelson is definitely an outlier in the coaching world, because in his opinion, whether they are Asian players or African, European, American players...

As long as he can play run-and-gun, he considers him a good player.

In 1998 and 2000, the Mavericks invited Hu Weidong twice, because Nelson was more eager for Hu Weidong's talent than Wang Zhizhi.

Take the summer league in 1996 as an example. The game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Lakers was not only Kobe's famous game, but also Hu Weidong's game that shocked American reporters.

Su Feng read the reports at that time and felt that the reporters from China and the United States were just bragging about each other.

Chinese reporters, led by Xu Jicheng, Zhang Weiping, Su Junyang and others, all believed that Kobe, who was only 17 years and 11 months old, had unlimited potential.

American reporters unanimously believe that 26-year-old Hu Weidong will definitely be able to play in the NBA.

At the Atlanta Olympics in the near future, Hu Weidong will once again prove the vision of American reporters.

Because in the game against the US team, Hu Weidong completed a steal and you wouldn't see it for many years:

The Chinese guard's gliding dunk on the international stage.

Su Feng is not a fan of the past and the present, but there is a saying that without him, Hu Weidong would definitely be the ceiling of Chinese defenders.

At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Hu Weidong scored 13 points per game while averaging 24 minutes per game.

And his shooting percentage is an astonishing 72%, and his three-point shooting percentage is 47%.

Remember, his field goal percentage was only two percentage points lower than his free throw percentage.

During the golden generation period, there was always a joke in the Chinese men’s basketball team, called Liu Yudong in the civil war and Hu Weidong in the foreign war.

Hu Weidong's excellent physical fitness allows him to face no disadvantages when facing European and American defenders. In addition, he also has a picturesque backside turn.

In his previous life, Su Feng specifically looked for American commentary videos from that time. The American commentators at that time believed that Hu Weidong had a place even in the NBA.

Even in the future, when Hu Weidong was 35 years old, he would still do things like score 55 points in a single game in the CBA and ravage young people.

So Su Feng felt that Wang Shipeng was right to cry and complain at the same time in the future, because some people just don't deserve to be compared with these men's basketball legends.

But when Su Feng and others headed to Long Beach, Klaus was complaining to Berlinberg in the 76ers' manager's office.

"It's strange, why did the Chinese men's basketball team accept the invitation to play against the Lakers?"

This time, after learning that the Chinese men's basketball team was preparing to participate in the Long Beach Summer League, the 76ers also sent an invitation to the Chinese men's basketball team.

Although Klaus is not optimistic about the Chinese market, in Klaus's view, with Su Feng on the 76ers' side, it would be quite a spectacle to play against the Chinese men's basketball team.

It's a pity that Su Feng didn't know what Klaus was thinking, otherwise Su Feng would definitely tell him, how could the Chinese men's basketball team accept the invitation to play against the 76ers?

Well, it would be fine if we win, but if we lose, how do you think the domestic media will accuse the Basketball Association?

Why not recruit Su Feng to compete in the Olympics?

The Basketball Association is not stupid. The men's basketball team at the moment still uses a long-term training system.

This group of players has been working together for so long, and the Basketball Association also has to balance the interests of various provincial sports associations.

After all, in the 1990s, competing in the Olympics was a major event that brought glory to one's family, and it involved many 404 factors...

Therefore, it is impossible for the Basketball Association to change players on the spot, and naturally it is impossible to agree to a game with the 76ers.

Therefore, history is still going along the trajectory it should have under various coincidences.

only......

The appearance of Su Feng also instigated a huge butterfly effect invisibly.

On the 14th, after the team arrived in Long Beach to gather, the two assistant coaches Jason and Rick had a clear division of labor. Jason was responsible for the training of Iverson, Su Feng and others, while Rick was responsible for leading the others.

No problem, introduction is the so-called status.

Some temporary workers who were temporarily recruited by the 76ers were even greeted by Rick. During the game, anyone who dared not pass the ball to Iverson and Su Feng would get out immediately.

After all, if these bastards dare to mess around, Jason and Rick will be the next to get out.

When they left for training, Su Feng glanced at Ben with some "reluctance"...

ah......

The hard work of labor and management is worth it!

"Coach, I'm a little tired these two days, can I take a rest?" Looking at Jason, Iverson asked.

"Of course...of course!" Jason said to Iverson in a gentle tone.

Seeing this scene, Su Feng remembered an interesting incident when Larry Brown came to teach with the 76ers in his previous life...

According to the agreement, Iverson was originally going to meet with Brown in the morning, but Iverson did not come in the morning...

Later it was said that Iverson would come at noon, but by noon, Iverson still had not come.

Finally at night, it was confirmed this time that Iverson would not be coming today.

"Coach, Allen is joking, don't listen to him." Hey, if you don't train anymore, where will I find a tool man?

I saw Su Feng dragging Iverson towards the training hall.

Jason was shocked when he saw this scene, "You... don't have a conflict."

"It's okay, coach, I have a good relationship with Allen."

Su Feng knew that Iverson was greedy for the sunshine and sand of Long Beach, so he didn't give Iverson a chance to resist him.

But when Su Feng's big elbow hit him, Iverson couldn't even beg for mercy, let alone retort.

"Okay, Allen, I know you are not the kind of player who is lazy, and I have something to ask you."

After dragging Iverson into the training hall, Su Feng looked at the reluctant AI and said with a smile.

Iverson, who was still a little unhappy at first, immediately became serious when he heard that Su Feng asked him for something, because in Iverson's subconscious mind, his brother's business was his own business.

"I want to learn two breakthrough techniques from you." Su Feng asked curiously.

"Didn't I teach you about Crossover and..." This time, before Iverson could finish speaking, Su Feng interrupted him.

"I know, but... I want to use something more practical and simple!"

Su Feng blushed. His dribbling potential has now increased to 64. He can show it off in the summer league, but what Su Feng wants to learn...

How to use your speed to get rid of the opponent's close press in the most efficient way.

Because...the 76ers are going to play the Lakers in the summer league this time!

"Simple and practical?" Iverson touched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly thought of something...

"Su, is it easy for you to catch the ball with one hand?" Iverson looked at Su Feng and said.

Su Feng nodded, and grabbed a basketball on the ground with his hand, swinging it several times in the air.

“This way, you stand like this, right, when attacking, you grab the ball with your left or right hand.

Remember to catch the ball behind you. If your opponent pounces on you, do this..." Iverson pointed to Su Feng.

In addition to teaching Su Feng this move, Iverson also taught Su Feng a few simple and crude moves.

"These are my favorite tricks when I was just learning." Iverson said while blinking at Su Feng.

Su Feng: "..."

So what, Allen, can you not say it so heartbreakingly?

Su Feng felt that his heart ached.

But for some reason, Su Feng felt very happy at this moment.

Perhaps, this is the so-called pain and happiness!

A few minutes later......

"You're improving a bit quickly..."

On the court, Iverson said in surprise as he looked at Su Feng who was practicing "one step at a time".

When practicing extreme sprinting before, Su Feng let Iverson go because he already had a tool like Big Ben beside him.

As a result, after witnessing Su Feng's three-step kill with the ball in hand today, Iverson felt that he could still teach Su Feng one more move.

"Su, come here, I'll teach you a move."

This is what Iverson is like. Su Feng discovered that it's not that he doesn't like training, but because he prefers freedom to training.

In other words, he will train only when he wants to.

Recently, after the relationship with Iverson heated up, Su Feng tried to "seduce" Iverson with a sandwich.

It's a pity that the effect is not good, because it is not that Iverson is not greedy, but that he is too eager for "freedom".

However, after teaching Su Feng for a while, Iverson also wanted to play ball, so he looked at Su Feng and said, "Let's play two bullfights."

Su Feng nodded, thinking that he could use these breakthrough skills in actual combat.

In this way, Su Feng may not even realize that he has gone further and further on his way to the restricted area carrying the explosive pack...

Two days later, the 76ers ushered in their first game of the Long Beach Summer League, against the Suns.

The biggest star of this Suns team is Su Feng's "sock brother" Steve Nash.

It is worth mentioning that before the game started, Nash was talking and laughing with Su Feng.

As a result, after the game started, Su Feng took advantage of the pick-and-roll opportunity with Iverson to grab Nash and suddenly screamed.

Nash, you scream, even if your throat is broken by screaming, Marion will not come to save you!

Su Feng was so excited because of his new friendship with Iverson. Don't tell me, Iverson really fed Su Feng a lot of cake during the game.

Perhaps, this is the magnetic attraction between the Iron Kings?

Ben also got 20 minutes of playing time because of his relationship with Su Feng.

As the saying goes, gold always shines. After Ben came on the field, the two assistant coaches Jason and Rick of the 76ers never expected that this guy would be a "shouting daddy"!

During the usual training, Su Feng had been instilling cruel ideas into Da Ben.

And after treating Su Feng, a "big liar" who was four years younger than him, as his new big brother, Daben firmly believed that what Su Feng said was right.

Therefore, Ben, who originally looked ferocious, would look up to the sky and roar angrily every time he grabbed a rebound or blocked a shot.

Not to mention anything else, just to introduce deterrence, it will directly fill up.

Didn't you see that even Nash didn't dare to go to the 76ers' basket?

"It seems like I really have a lot of potential." Coach Jason said with emotion.

"Next, we can give him more time, and you can see how well he pairs up with Allen and Sue." Rick added.

actually......

In terms of Dahonjie's style, how can he not match up with Su Feng and Iverson?

You come to make iron, I will grab it, I will pass it on to you, and you can make iron again.

The Suns' inside man for this summer league is a white man with a height of 210 centimeters and a weight of 120 kilograms. With his 5 centimeters of bounce and soft body, how can he stop Big Ben?

In this way, the 76ers defeated the Suns 112-80 in the first game.

Su Feng scored 30 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, and 0 assists;

Iverson scored 31 points, 10 assists, and 4 steals;

Ben played 20 minutes and scored 0 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 3 assists and 5 fouls.

After the game, when Su Feng saw the technical statistics, he was glad that there was no keyboard warrior at the moment, otherwise he would have imagined what kind of label he would be labeled by the fans after the game.

If Su doesn't pass, Ai Lang throws, he doesn't attack...

Don't tell me, the 76ers' "iron" triangle response in the Summer League was pretty good.

After the game, Nash felt a little uncomfortable because he only scored 8 points and 4 assists in this game, which was a poor performance.

"Steve, don't think so much, you have to believe in yourself!" In order to save this "sock diplomacy", Su Feng touched Nash's head to comfort him after the game.

Nash nodded, feeling slightly better.

By the way, after the game against the Suns, Su Feng also accepted an interview with Su Junyang.

There was nothing to say in the interview. Anyway, Su Feng believed that Su Junyang would only praise himself.

However, at the end of the interview, Su Junyang curiously asked Su Feng if he would go to the men's basketball game against the Lakers tomorrow.

"I won't watch. I have to train tomorrow." Su Feng had seen various highlights and GIFs of this game in his previous life, and he knew very well how good Kobe and Hu Weidong would be.

You know, ever since Iverson helped him open the door of dribbling and let Su Feng see the new world, Su Feng is now busy going to sea to find Onepiece...

Ah, no, Su Feng is busy creating a surprise for Kobe.

And Su Feng didn't want to "add trouble" to the leaders of the Basketball Association. After all, the coming summer was very critical for his self-improvement.

Su Feng knew very well that even if he did join the national team, the men's basketball team would only be in the top eight at this Olympics.

Therefore, Su Feng, who is sensible and understands right and wrong, continued to give the Basketball Association a big thumbs up.

When he heard that Su Feng would not go to the men's basketball game, Su Junyang initially thought that there was some misunderstanding between Su Feng and the national team...

However, after seeing Su Feng's big sincere eyes, Su Junyang felt that Su Feng was not such a narrow-minded person.

"I really hope to see Xiao Su wearing the national team jersey in the future!" Su Junyang thought to himself with emotion.

The next day, just as Su Feng remembered, the entire back line of the Chinese men's basketball team was defeated by Kobe in the summer league match against the Lakers.

Although many details of Kobe during this period still need to be improved, his offensive combinations have begun to take shape.

In the end, Kobe scored 36 points, which shocked the Chinese reporters on the sidelines.

And Hu Weidong also scored 30 points just like Su Feng remembered, becoming the only fig leaf for the Chinese defense line in this game.

The only difference from the previous life is that because of the appearance of Su Feng in this life, Xu Jicheng and Zhang Weiping had already experienced the power of Kobe.

Therefore, in the news report after the game, Xu Jicheng not only used words such as Nezha, earthshaking, and indomitable to describe Kobe, Xu also typed a paragraph at the end of the article:

"This is Kobe Bryant, Su Feng's high school teammate. He wore the number 32 that Magic once wore in the summer league. He can do anything."

It was obvious that Da Xu was also dissatisfied with why the Basketball Association did not recruit Su Feng into the national team.

Because in Xu Jicheng's view, the Chinese team's back line can't even guard Kobe, so can they compare with Su Feng?

Because Zhang Weiping knew the truth, he couldn't say anything and could only sigh from the sidelines.

It is worth mentioning that after the game, after the Chinese men's basketball coaching staff struggled for a while, head coach Gong Luming decided to stay and watch the game between the 76ers and the Lakers the day after tomorrow.

Don't be surprised, Gong Luming is not interested in changing players on the spot, but wants to see with his own eyes, this high school classmate of Kobe Bryant who beat the Chinese team from the outside, and the Chinese player with the 13th overall pick in the first round of the NBA in 1996. What kind of god is he?

And just when Gong Luming decided to stay and let the team leader lead the other men's basketball players to Atlanta, Hu Weidong, who deliberately learned a few words in English, walked up to Kobe on the court.

"Hi, hello, Kobe." After the game, Hu Weidong put on his glasses, which allowed him to see Kobe's appearance clearly.

"Hello." Although he didn't know Hu Weidong, when he thought of Su Feng, Kobe still greeted Hu Weidong politely.

"You are really great, Kobe." Hu Weidong gave Kobe a thumbs up and said.

Perhaps amused by Hu Weidong's poor English, Kobe smiled and said, "You are great too, those turnaround jumpers are cool."

"Kobe, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net I heard that Su Feng once defeated you in one-on-one?" Hu Weidong asked curiously.

Kobe was a little unhappy when he heard Hu Weidong's question.

Because this question reminded Kobe of many unhappy memories.

Especially when Su Feng "hurt" himself in front of the cameras, and the recent phone call, nothing Kobe said could be forgotten.

only......

Seeing Hu Weidong with a curious face, and after playing this game, Kobe was also wondering why the Chinese men's basketball team didn't recruit Su Feng, so Kobe felt that it was better not to argue with that bitch Su Feng.

"Yes, he often beats me." After thinking for a while, Kobe replied.

through......

often?

Hu Weidong was stunned.

Because after playing against the Lakers today, he learned from Da Xu and Zhang Weiping that Kobe was only 17 years old, and that the Lakers were only a summer league team, far from a real NBA team.

So when he learned that Su Feng had actually defeated Kobe Bryant in a duel, Hu Weidong suddenly felt the urge to stay.

So, after chatting with Kobe, Hu Weidong looked at Gong Luming and said, "Director Gong, I also want to stay."

Gong Luming thought for a while. He knew that Hu Weidong was interested in the NBA, so he couldn't say anything. "Okay, it just so happens that you can stay here for reference."

Hu Weidong nodded, his expression full of anticipation for the next game between the Lakers and the 76ers.
