I really just want to strike

Su Feng didn't want Kobe to miss the next All-Star Weekend because of his relationship.

And maybe because he felt that he shouldn't "trick" Su Feng into cooking a big meal for him by pretending to be sick, before walking out of the hotel with Su Feng, Kobe took out the gift he specially prepared for Su Feng.

"This is your birthday present. I won't have time to give it to you because we will be playing games at that time, so I brought it here for you during the All-Star Weekend." Kobe said to Su Feng with a smile.

Su Feng was overjoyed, and thought to himself, you still have a conscience.

After opening the box, Su Feng discovered that the box contained a pair of sneakers...

A pair of A cones 3.

But unlike the A-cone 3 that Su Feng wore before, this pair of sneakers...

There is Michael Jordan's autograph and a birthday wish.

"This..." Su Feng looked at Kobe in surprise.

Kobe smiled, "I asked Michael to sign this for you after our game against the Bulls yesterday."

On the 5th, after the Bulls beat the Lakers, Koe found Jordan immediately after the game.

When Jordan saw Kobe, he felt that this kid was destined for him, so without thinking about it, he signed a pair of A-cone 3s for Kobe.

And then, at Kobe's request, Jordan added a birthday greeting. At that time, Jordan looked at Kobe curiously and said, "Is your birthday in April?"

Kobe shook his head, "No, my birthday is August 8, and this is a gift from me to a friend."

Jordan patted Kobe on the shoulder and said, "Your friend is lucky to have a friend like you."

In this way, with this pair of A cone 3, Kobe came to Cleveland.

And now, this pair of sneakers belonged to Su Feng.

For Su Feng, who has become an All-Star starter, Jordan's signature shoes are not out of his reach, but Su Feng knows that this is Kobe's wish.

As the saying goes, it doesn't matter what the gift is, the most important thing is friendship.

Just like the notebook Kobe gave himself when he graduated from high school.

Su Feng felt...

In the future, O'Neill and the others will definitely cry when they know these things.

"Let's go, it's time to show you my real cooking skills." Su Feng who accepted the gift smiled while hooking Kobe's shoulder.

And just when Su Feng was about to take Kobe out for the tooth festival, a group of boys from Akron were looking around in Cleveland, which had already been enveloped by the atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend...

The All-Star Weekend in 1997 was a particularly grand year.

Looking at the posters of the top [-] NBA superstars hanging around, the excitement in the hearts of these boys from Akron could not be calmed down for a long time...

……

Chapter 153 Are You 'The.King'?

After going out and looking around for a long time, Su Feng and Kobe finally found a restaurant that looked good.

No way, Cleveland is no better than Philadelphia, let alone Los Angeles.

As a city full of tragedy in the American sports world, Americans refer to Cleveland as:

- "A place worse than hell".

In addition, regarding Cleveland, in the United States, there is also a famous joke called:

"Cleveland, don't feel too bad because you are being laughed at by everyone in the United States, you know, everyone laughs at a city in every country.

Like in Russia, we laughed at Cleveland. "

Don't doubt, this is the true portrayal of Cleveland, a city in the United States that everyone can make fun of at will.

So the question is, why did NBA officials arrange such a commemorative All-Star Game in Cleveland?

Don't be surprised, if you know the things that Cleveland has experienced, then you know why the NBA officially arranged this All-Star Game in Cleveland.

You know, in the 20s, the Cleveland Cavaliers were a team that forced the league to modify the rules for them.

In the early 80s, after Tedster Pean bought the Cavaliers, in addition to changing 23 players and 4 coaches within a year, in 1981, he also did an extremely speechless thing .

Perhaps because he felt that the Lakers were not strong enough at the time, in 1981, Pien gave the Cavaliers' first-round pick to the Lakers almost for nothing.

Then, the Cavaliers, who only played 15 wins that season, successfully helped the Lakers win the No. [-] lottery.

The Lakers have also become the only championship team in NBA history with the No. [-] pick.

NBA high-level Buddha.

In desperation, they had to modify the rules for the stupid Mr. Pean.

After that, no team is allowed to exchange first-round picks for two consecutive years.

cough......

Child, in order to avoid your brain damage, we can only stipulate that everyone is not allowed to lie to you.

Funny, hilarious, and desperate almost filled the history of the Cleveland Cavaliers.

And even in the late 80s and early 90s when the Cavaliers were most glorious, they could only become Jordan's background board again and again.

Um......

Boss Joe's famous "t" was thrown in the Eastern Conference finals against the Cavaliers.

There is no future, no stars, just like the city of Cleveland, the Cavaliers seem to have been labeled as doomed failure from the beginning of the team's establishment.

Therefore, in this context, holding such an All-Star Game can highlight the significance of "inheritance" in the eyes of NBA executives.

To give hope to desperate Cleveland, the top [-] stars will eventually grow old, and the new generation of players will successively take over the torch from their predecessors.

This kind of implication reposes Stern's beautiful vision for the future of the NBA.

Burn, Cleveland, to meet your better tomorrow!

Emmm...

Su Feng doesn't know if Cleveland will welcome their tomorrow...

But Su Feng felt that if Kobe continued to eat, his tomorrow would definitely be gone.

In a restaurant in Cleveland called "Courage and Hope" literally translated into Chinese, at the beginning, when Su Feng suggested "I don't need you to do it, you just give me the back kitchen"..... .

The owner of this restaurant really wanted to drive Su Feng and Kobe out.

However, after the green coins appeared in front of him, the boss named Connor performed the Sichuan opera "Face Changing" for Su Feng and Kobe on the spot.

So, after finishing everything, Su Feng started to work in the back kitchen.

Then......

There's no after that.

Kobe almost ate a cow!

"Are you so hungry?" Su Feng looked at Kobe in surprise and said.

Kobe nodded, then buried himself in the food.

How could Su Feng understand Kobe's bitterness?

You know, now all Kobe's hopes are pinned on "Flame Pizza".

There's no way, Su Feng's cooking skills are so good, so good that Kobe's stomach can no longer hold the food made by other people.

And after accompanying Kobe to finish the tooth sacrifice, in order to prevent Kobe from turning into a bully in advance, Su Feng suggested that the two of them go for a walk before going back to the hotel.

I have to say that in order to win the favor of Chinese fans, Stern really worked hard this time.

Because when he arrived in Cleveland today, Su Feng discovered that there was a lion dance team performing not far from the officially designated hotel.

In addition, the hotel where Su Feng stayed also hung up lanterns and posted Spring Festival couplets.

Even during the intermission of this year's Rookie Challenge, NBA officials will organize players to make glutinous rice balls together.

Obviously, in this life, because of Su Feng's appearance, the full-fledged All-Star Weekend that year had already appeared ahead of schedule.

"By the way, it seems that today is Chinese New Year with you?" While walking, Kobe looked at Su Feng curiously and asked.

Su Feng nodded, "Well, today is called New Year's Eve with us."

"If there is a chance in the future, I must go to China with you." Kobe smiled.

Su Feng was overjoyed. If Su Feng remembered correctly, Kobe had to wait until 2001 to go to China for the first time.

At that time, Kobe performed a flying dunk on the Great Wall of Jiayuguan, which made him gain a large number of Chinese fans.

In Su Feng's previous life, the large number of Kemi in China was also related to the number of times Kobe came to China.

And compared to Jordan, Kobe's China tour activities can definitely be called conscience. In the future, only Claire, an Anta spokesperson, can surpass it.

"Okay, I'll ask you to come with me when I go back." Su Feng patted Kobe's shoulder and said.

"Isn't there a lot of delicious food in China?" Kobe, who had just eaten, felt a little hungry again for some reason.

And looking at Kobe in this state, Su Feng covered his face with his big hand...

God, this Kobe...

He is crooked!

Just like you, how will you be the spokesperson of the Mamba spirit in the future, NBA senior Kobe Bryant?

……

By the way, in Cleveland, when Su Feng and Kobe were walking and chatting...

In a Nike sneaker store, a group of boys from Akron felt their eyes were blurred.

On the side, Keith Dambrot couldn't help showing a gratified smile when he saw the happy expressions on the faces of these children.

Frankie Walker Jr., Cotton, Drew Joyce, Willie McGee, Romeo Travis, LeBron James...

If you ask in the future, when and where did LeBron James' basketball journey start, then...

Probably now.

Like Iverson, James also has a father who only sows seeds.

His mother Gloria gave birth to him when he was 16 years old.

Down and out Gloria couldn't read and raise young LeBron James at the same time.

Well, history is always surprisingly similar.

The helpless Gloria had to take little James to defect to her mother, that is, James' grandmother Freida.

In order to take care of her precious grandson, Freida bit the bullet and begged all kinds of baby products and toys from the neighbors in the neighborhood, and among them, the most famous one is a blue plush baby elephant.

This is definitely the most precious gift in the life of LeBron James.

Because on Christmas Eve in 1987, after receiving his first basketball in his life, James' grandmother, Freida, passed away.

James has kept the blue plush baby elephant ever since.

The hunger and cold in his childhood made James grow up rapidly, because he understood the so-called warmth and coldness of human relationships since he was a child.

After Freida's death, in order to support James, Gloria found a prospective stepfather for James.

A man named Eddie Jackson.

But the good times didn't last long. In 1990, Jackson also went to jail.

So, the same as Iverson's experience of eating dirt, the young Zhan also played football for bread and sausage.

In the fourth grade, James, who was on the field as a wide receiver, set a record of 6 rushing touchdowns in 19 games.

And just like Iverson met Coach Thompson later, in this year, James also met the first noble person in his life:

— Frankie Walker.

The varsity football coach approached Gloria in a rage when he heard that James was quitting school:

Please hand over your son to me. You can't spoil this kid's talent. He will definitely become the best wide receiver in the United States in the future!

Eventually, Gloria and Walker came to an agreement.

It is up to Gloria to find a way to pay the rent so that James can live in Walker's house for a long time.

And after becoming good friends with coach Frank Walker Jr., the son of coach Frank Walker, his talent in basketball has gradually revealed.
