All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 66: Gathering talents!
On the 8th, Su Feng and Kobe came to Pittsburgh to participate in the 1996 McDonald’s High School All-Star Game held in the second largest city in Pennsylvania on the 9th and 10th.
Since its inception in 1978, Su Feng and Kobe participated this time, which happened to be the 18th McDonald’s High School All-Star Game.
As the pinnacle of American high school basketball, there have been many outstanding players in the previous McDonald’s High School All-Star Game.
Such as O'Neill, Mourning, Weber...
and last year's Garnett, Carter, Marbury, Billups...
All in all, this event definitely represents the highest level of American high school basketball at this time.
Because, as an "Encyclopedia of the Four Humanoid Shooting Guards", Su Feng had watched the McDonald's High School All-Star Game at Station B in his previous life.
Yes, yes, although this is an All-Star game, the two sides in the fight are really fighting...
The kind of real swords and real guns without empty bullets.
Of course, because of the All-Star Game, the pace of the game is much faster than the average high school game.
In addition, although this kind of All-Star Game does not have much tactical content, the McDonald's High School All-Star Game in 1996 is absolutely full of talent.
Take Su Feng and Kobe as an example of the East Army selected this time. In addition to Tim Thomas and Stephen Jackson in the starting lineup, O'Neal and Hamilton are also on the bench.
On the western side, it was led by Mike Bibby, nicknamed "The White Devil".
and his team, like Corey Benjamin and Jason Collier, are all players who have played in the NBA in Su Feng's memory.
It is worth mentioning that Su Feng remembers that Kobe Bryant did not perform well in this All-Star Game.
Although Kobe is recognized as the top card of the Eastern Army before the game, but...
Like this kind of All-Star Game, especially the High School Student All-Star Game, in other words it is: Tumor Contest.
In order to show themselves, the young players hardly pass each other.
Su Feng still remembers that when he was reviewing this game, the barrage on the screen was "Distressed Kobe!" "Kobe, you also have today?" "Hahaha, XSWL, Kobe can't catch the ball, dare you? Letter?" "Wow, so Kobe can play without the ball!" Such a barrage.
cough...
Okay, Su Feng knows why Bill Duffy allowed himself to enjoy the All-Star Game as much as possible before, focusing on the following trial training.
Because of this kind of game, it is simply the nemesis of team players like Su Feng.
"Hey, it seems that I will have to be a bit alone in the future, and I can no longer play in such a team." When he arrived in Pittsburgh, Su Feng thought sadly.
But then again, compared to Philadelphia, I don’t know why, Su Feng has a natural affection for Pittsburgh.
Because of this city, there is a feeling that is very suitable for ironing.
Especially Pittsburgh also has a famous NFL team-the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"When you make money in the future, you must buy this team. This name is simply for me." Su Feng thought with emotion.
……
After arriving in Pittsburgh, Su Feng and Kobe stayed in the hotel arranged by the tournament organizing committee. When checking in at the hotel reception, Su Feng and Kobe happened to meet the nicknames "Wu Sheng" and "Captain Jack" Stephen Jackson.
Looks like a bad guy's Jackson talent exploded. Just looking at his big elbow, which is far thicker than his peers, most people don't dare to get close to him.
Su Feng remembered that when this Wu Sheng was running for the future, he was not selected by the Suns until the middle of the second round, and he was given up by the Suns without playing a game.
But Jackson's drop so low has nothing to do with his talent, but because his reputation is so loud that even NBA teams are afraid of him.
The reason the Suns gave up Jackson was because Jackson had a fight with a group of gangsters in a nightclub and appeared in the local newspaper shortly after being selected.
When I saw the news at the time, the Sun uniforms felt that they must have had their brains to pick such a thorn in the draft.
In the future, Jackson will not return to the NBA until he has been wandering overseas for nearly three years. Then, in the famous Palace of Auburn Hills fight, Jackson only used one fight to make the world remember him.
At the time, he was like a returning God of War. After seeing his good brother Artest being beaten, he roared and caused millions of fans to lie down. (Note: The millions of fans here are exaggerated descriptions)
"Hey, I like your nickname, Philadelphia Gemini, it's awesome."
At first, Su Feng didn't want to have too much intersection with this Martial Saint.
After all, if one is not careful, he and Kobe may not be his opponents together.
Unexpectedly, Stephen Jackson is a familiarity.
In fact, Su Feng is not really afraid of this "Martial Saint"...
Because Su Feng knew that, apart from the palace fight in Auburn Hills in the future, Jackson will be more honest on the basketball court than many seemingly gentle players.
There is another saying, the McDonald’s High School All-Star Game is worthy of the ceiling for high school players...
Because after close observation, Su Feng found that if he only fights his body, he may not be able to fight Stephen Jackson.
So I said...
Being a good person is too important.
In Su Feng’s memory, Jackson once had a wonderful ride buckle in the McDonald’s High School All-Star Game. It was a ride buckle that really rode someone forward for nearly a meter.
It’s just a pity that Jackson failed to make a dunk in the end, otherwise he would be selected as one of the top ten dunks in McDonald’s High School All-Star Game history.
If it weren't for his bad school days, Jackson would definitely be selected in the lottery area in the future.
And after chatting with Jackson for a while, Su Feng discovered that the brain of this guy is not so simple.
He has no other thoughts, just simply curious about Kobe and Su Feng.
After all, this McDonald’s High School All-Star Game in Pittsburgh is equal to half of the home court of Su Feng and Kobe.
After he came to Pittsburgh, Jackson has been listening to others talking about the Philadelphia Gemini, so I wanted to see with my own eyes how the Philadelphia Gemini is different from him.
"You look so good students, we are not the same." While chatting, Jackson suddenly said with emotion.
Su Feng, Kobe: "..."
Brother , since you think we are not the same, why are you talking for so long?
"By the way, do you like to sing and dance RAP? I'm a master rap player." Jackson suddenly turned his head and asked.
Su Feng, Kobe: "..."
Brother, what do you want to do?
Fortunately, at the critical moment, a normal person came.
Just when Su Feng and Kobe had a headache, how could they fix Jackson, the head of the Western Army, Mike Bibby, also arrived at the hotel.
Mike Bibby, nicknamed "The White Devil", is recognized this year as the best point guard in the McDonald's High School All-Star Game.
Bibby's strength is amazing. In Su Feng's previous life, Nash may be the most envious of Bibby's iron elbows.
After entering the NBA in the future, Bibby had scored 20+ in a single season at his peak.
He has a precise three-pointer. He has made 1,517 three-pointers in his career.
The only regret is that Bibby has never been selected to an All-Star in his career, because there were too many good point guards in the West at that time.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Bibby’s grandmother is Chinese, and he will tattoo his grandmother’s surname on his body in the future.
Therefore, when he arrived at the hotel and saw three people with similar figures chatting, Bibby spotted Su Feng, the most handsome of the three.
"Hoho, guys, have you all come so early?" Bibby read the magazine before and met Su Feng and Kobe, the Philadelphia CP.
And Kobe and Su Feng also know Bibby, because Bibby is not less famous than Kobe and Su Feng.
I have to say that fate is so wonderful.
Because of Jackson's magical brain circuit, let alone, after Bibby joined this small chat, everyone really has no shortage of topics.
And just as the few people chatted more and more vigorously, there was a little O’Neal who looked at you and wanted to bully him and Tim Thomas, who looked like a bad guy, but actually played very hard. Arrived at the hotel.
So, the protagonists of this McDonald’s High School All-Star Game were like this at the front desk of the hotel and had a friendly discussion about art and life.
eh, right...
Why do you always feel that you have forgotten who?
Okay, that's not important.
(Hamilton: Am I so inexistent? Obviously I have always been there...)
……
"Su, do you think I can win the championship with the few moves I prepared?"
In this McDonald’s High School All-Star Game, Kobe and Su Feng were selected as the starters of the Eastern Stars. Just like Su Feng’s memory, Kobe also received an invitation to the dunk contest, and Su Feng was invited to participate in the three-pointer Contest.
Su Feng didn't want to hit Kobe, because Su Feng knew that the dunk king in this All-Star Game would be won by a player named Lester Earl.
What, don’t you know this gentleman?
Well, it doesn't matter, anyway, this gentleman will not be famous in the NBA in the future.
In the future, many Kohei believe that Kobe, the number one favorite in this dunk contest, must have bought himself before the game and lost, otherwise, this loss is unreasonable...
Actually...
is reasonable, after two years of getting along with Kobe, as well as having seen Kobe’s performance in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest in his previous life...
Su Feng can tell these Kobe people responsibly that Kobe is deliberately losing, as for Kobe’s brain circuit, what creativity can he have?
Although Lester Earl is not well-known in the future, Su Feng remembers that this gentleman defeated Kobe and Odom when Kobe participated in the Adidas ABCD training camp.
To put it bluntly...
There are indeed many basketball geniuses in the United States, but Zhongyong hurts more.
In Garnett’s biography, the wolf king mentioned that he could not beat his teammate Ronnie Fields in high school.
It’s just a pity that Fields later suffered a car accident. After recovering from his injury, he could only wander around ~ IndoMTL.com~ by playing some low-level leagues to get mixed up.
"Su, have you lost your aesthetics?
Isn't these ideas amazing enough? "Looking at Su Feng who didn't say a word, Kobe became a little angry.
Okay...
Since you have asked sincerely, then I will tell you compassionately, what is creativity!
Su Feng briefly explained a few actions to Kobe, and after listening to Su Feng's explanation, Kobe's chin fell to the ground instantly.
"But, can I do these actions?" Kobe asked rhetorically.
"Yes, of course, these are just introductions."
Su Feng is very clear about Kobe's bounce ability and ability to stay in the air.
To put it bluntly, a man who can dunk even a normal one-handed dunk, can't he still achieve the ideas Su Feng said?
Su Feng has seen Gordon and LaVine’s battle of the century, and he has also seen streetball greats like Bai Jordan.
It's not funny. If Su Feng has a chance to break the ceiling set by the system in the future, he must let people in this era take a good look at what is dunking.
And since Bill Duffy lets himself enjoy the All-Star Game, isn't it good for a little bit of work?
"Kobe, do you know where to sell cigars?" Su Feng asked, looking at Kobe curiously.
"What? You want to smoke a cigar?"
"No, I just want to pretend."
"..."
