All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 152: Akron boy
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried.
The 18-year-old Kobe did not sleep well all night after finishing the phone call with Su Feng.
Young people always like crazy thinking...
This night, Kobe was not only happy because Su Feng became the All-Star starter, but also distressed because of the growing gap between him and Su Feng;
When the past follows the wind, Lauer Merion’s glory has long since turned into the past. Fate made a small joke with the Philadelphia Gemini last summer;
The Philadelphia hero stayed, and the Philadelphia son was transformed into the future of Los Angeles.
Tossing and turning, and sleepless all night, Kobe doesn't want to be a spectator anymore...
The camera goes back to the 76ers.
After defeating the Magic, the 76ers flew to Milwaukee overnight.
This is their penultimate game before the Cleveland All-Star Weekend. During the flight, the players are rushing to rest.
While the 76ers' team correspondent, "Philadelphia Evening News" editor-in-chief Maxson's disciple Jones, took a picture that will be widely circulated in the future during this trip:
The "Golden Double Guns" sat side by side, Iverson's gutter head was quietly resting on Su Feng's broad shoulders, the two of them covered a blanket together, purring, one after another.
At this moment, there is no doubt that the 76ers will prosper under the leadership of the "Golden Double Guns".
Three years, five years?
That's not important, because they are young enough and they have time to make history.
After getting off the plane, Jones excitedly called and told Maxson that they had a front page picture for tomorrow.
A pair of well-connected outside teams, they do not distinguish each other, there is no secret comparison that troubles the team management, and there is no headache to establish their own factions within the team.
They achieved each other. In fact, as early as this winter in 1997, they had already conquered the United States.
……
On February 1, at the Bucks' home court, Milwaukee fans looked at the 76ers with "Golden Double Guns" with envy.
"Answer" Alan Iverson, "Little Melon" Su Feng.
The "Big Dog" Robinson's hatred of Su Feng has a long history, and after Su Feng officially became the starter of the Eastern Stars, he watched Su Feng's final vote that was ten times higher than himself. , Robinson felt he had to do something tonight.
Then...
Where did it come from?
Wen Baker and Ray Allen cried again.
Brother, can you put on your **** pass button?
Do you think you are Michael Jordan?
Su Feng is happy.
Because he discovered that since he became the starter of the Eastern Stars, introduce...
There is no need to use taunting skills.
100% passive taunt.
Robinson's personal ability is indeed very strong. In this game, he shot from the outside and scored 19 points in the first half of the game.
But in the second half of the game, things changed suddenly.
Robinson, who felt his legs heavier and heavier, found that Su Feng, who was standing opposite him, seemed to be getting faster and faster...
In fact, as long as Glenn Robinson can respect the gift God has given him a little bit, then his achievements will not stop there?
"The King of the Mill" Su Feng completely broke Robinson in the third quarter, and it is worth mentioning that Su Feng discovered that Lei Allen's recent iron strike value has risen a bit quickly... ...
Um...
Yeah!
Su Feng feels that it is time to have a showdown with Ray Allen on the field!
Compared to Robinson, who has been standing still, in Su Feng's view, a fast-growing star guard like Ray Allen is worthy of showing him a strong man.
Relying on Robinson’s assists in the second half of the game, the 76ers beat the Bucks back-to-back. In the Eastern record rankings, they officially surpassed the Magic and came to a position that satisfied the "old gangster":
——The seventh in the east.
Next, the team will return to Philadelphia for a full rest. On February 5th, they will play at home against the Spurs, who have been busy sprinting toward Duncan recently.
……
After returning to Philadelphia, Su Feng was not idle, because for him, there is no time left for a minute and a second.
Under the guidance of Grover, Su Feng's progress is obvious.
Even his potential for dribbling and possession has risen to an astonishing 69.
It is worth mentioning that when coaching Su Feng, Grover found that Su Feng's left and right hands are very balanced.
So, after carefully observing Su Feng's dribbling skills, Grover decisively gave up teaching Su Feng's fancy rhythm changes.
He decided to train Su Feng to be an unparalleled breakthrough player!
Su Feng's previous life, Hill's two classic GIF animations that dangled Qiaopi, and they were all on the left.
His future brother, Tracey, is also a player who is very good at left-handed stepping.
As we all know, because of defensive inertia, when an offensive player breaks his left hand, it is often difficult for the defender to shift the center of gravity immediately.
Therefore, the left-handed breakthrough is a lesson that many speed players must learn.
Take Su Feng's teammate Iverson as an example.
Iverson likes to jump right, but it doesn't mean that he won't jump left. In fact, Iverson has no other breakthrough method. The principle is to trick defenders into blocking his left hand through rhythm changes.
Suitable, resistant, simple and irritable.
Under Grover's devil training, let alone, when Mancias came up to act as defensive players, they all said that Su Feng's Middle Eastern breakthrough was obviously more difficult to prevent.
Because Su Feng, who was unsurpassed, broke through to the left, even if his dribble was too high, Mancias and the others did not dare to intercept the ball at will.
You think, left hand dribbling, then what is Su Feng's right hand doing?
Of course I am ready to aim at the basket!
Grover suggested that Su Feng practice more emergency stop and dry drawing, and this is very similar to the set he will teach McGrady in the future.
During the magic period, Tracy’s first breakthrough was more like a deterrent. In fact, McGrady’s killer move without dead ends was the ultimate move.
Don't look at Su Feng's current left-handed breakthrough. There are only two changes: sudden death and emergency stop. But in actual defense, ordinary defensive players can no longer stop him from hitting iron as he wants.
Under the guidance of these top trainers, Su Feng continued to practice top-notch external skills.
Of course, Su Feng is still far from Grover's ideal of inexhaustible, but don't forget, Su Feng is only 18 years old now.
In this way, in addition to the team's joint training, Su Feng was immersed in the happily slinging trainer special training every day 5 days ago.
……
On the 5th, the 76ers ushered in their last game before the All-Star Weekend at the Zhongzhou Arena.
As in Su Feng's memory, not long after Robinson came back to play, Popovich, who was not reconciled only behind the scenes, officially walked to the stage.
Popovich, who was grabbed by the general manager and head coach, firmly believed that Robinson's "terrible" foot injury was likely to affect his career, so after taking office, he let Robinson go home and rest.
In addition, due to Wilkins’ recent performance, after leading the Spurs to win two games in a row, Popovich also cited Wilkins’ age as an excuse to make this “human movie essence” Went home to watch a small movie.
Face?
There is no such thing.
Don't even talk about this year's bad news, just take Su Feng's past life as an example. If Popovich has a face, then Stoudemire will not be angry with Nash in the future.
Su Feng's previous life, there is a famous paragraph called:
No one can stop the UFO Carter from space, but Popovich can.
As a "general marshal" who successfully "helped" Carter return to Earth from outer space, in front of Duncan's thighs, whoever dares to stop Popovich from doing bad things will have his father's vengeance.
In this game, even the 76ers fans at the scene were confused.
Because after the first half of the game, the score of the two teams has come.
The reason the 76ers fans are confused is because tonight the Spurs...
Whoever plays well will roll down and rest.
Whoever dares to take precautions seriously will go down to look at the drinking fountain.
Iverson halftime, 7 of 10 shots, Su Feng 5 of 7 shots, Stackhouse 5 of 6 shots...
Philadelphia's three irons are a luxury even if they want to strike iron this night.
The player with the Spurs full game in the first half is called Fron Maxwell.
The former Rockets two consecutive championship members who persuaded Stackhouse to provoke Jordan last year, leading to the public execution of Jerry by the "old gangster".
The reason why Maxwell played the first half of this game is very simple, because he made 1 of 11 shots in the first half and performed well, and Popovich is willing to give him 9 points.
In the second half of the game, considering that "Ai Feng" was going to participate in the All-Star Weekend, Davis replaced "Ai Feng" not long after playing.
What does it mean to be happy?
Popovich happily led the team to a defeat, and the 76ers took one step closer to solid their seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
Far away in Chicago, Jordan, who just finished educating the Lakers without O'Neal, would like to give these two teams a big compliment.
After defeating the Spurs, the 76ers disbanded. Su Feng and Iverson carried the hope of the Philadelphia villagers and officially embarked on the Cleveland All-Star Weekend.
……
Speaking of, in addition to the main game this All-Star weekend, Su Feng and Iverson will also represent the Eastern Conference rookies in the Rookie Challenge.
The rookie challenge in this period is the same as the main game, divided into two teams in the east and the west.
This year the coach of the Eastern Conference rookie team is the famous Auerbach, and the coach of the Western Conference rookie team is the legendary New York coach Reed Holzman.
From the fact that the rookie challenge arranges two famous coaches to coach, you can see how much the NBA executives attach importance to this All-Star Game.
Su Feng's previous life, this All-Star Game is called the "Torch of Inheritance". In the Rookie Challenge, Kobe and Iverson will have a fierce confrontation.
In that game, Kobe will score 31 points, and Iverson will lead the East to the last laugh.
In the future, many topics related to the Coai matchup will basically start from the rookie challenge of this All-Star Game.
And if Su Feng remembers correctly, Kobe's nickname "Peter Pan" was won in this All-Star Game.
As in Su Feng's memory, Kobe participated in this year's dunk contest.
But...
In this life, because of the appearance of Su Feng, Iverson, who became the starter of the Eastern Stars in advance, has no interest in the Rookie Challenge.
On the plane to Cleveland, Iverson told Su Feng that he would leave the stage of performance to Su Feng during the Rookie Challenge.
After reading the rookie roster of the Eastern Conference, Su Feng wanted to give Ray Allen the burden of leading the Eastern Conference rookie team to win.
Don’t ask, ask is the all-star starter, who cares about the Rookie Challenge?
Who would play the Rookie Challenge as the finals like that small Lakers bench?
Su Feng can't wait to see Kobe.
Because just reporting the good news to Kobe over the phone, in Su Feng's opinion, what is enough?
Happiness, you have to share it with your best friend, that's happiness.
……
On the 6th, after arriving at the hotel designated by the NBA in Cleveland to stay, Su Feng "gets what he wanted."
After asking the NBA staff for Kobe's room number, Su Feng took off his jacket as soon as he walked in.
I saw him wearing the number jersey with hands on hips, looking at Kobe and saying, "Oh, dear Kobe!
I am already an All-Star starter, and in a few days I will fight alongside the great Michael Jordan! "
"..."
"..."
"..."
Not...
Am I jumping like this?
Why didn't Kobe react at all?
Looking at Kobe, who was tired and weak, Su Feng hurriedly put on his jacket and touched his forehead, "You have a fever?"
Kobe nodded, then said sleepily: "Congratulations... Sue."
"How many days have you not slept?" Su Feng asked in surprise.
"It's been several days..." Bryant replied feebly.
"Did you go to the hospital to see it?" Su Feng asked concerned.
"I saw, insomnia, plus a cold breeze two days ago, a bit of a cold, just take some medicine and sleep twice." Kobe slumped on the sofa in the hotel room and said.
"No, in your state, how do you play the Rookie Challenge the day after tomorrow?" Su Feng asked.
"Don't worry about me...You are an All-Star starter, should you have to accept a lot of interviews?" Kobe waved his hand and said.
"I also accepted a fart interview, how can I feel relieved in your state?"
Su Feng paced back and forth anxiously, and after thinking for a while, he looked at Kobe and said, "Well, let's find a Chinese restaurant later. I will borrow their kitchen to make you some porridge or something. ....."
Huh?
Yeah!
"Then I am a little hungry now!"
When he heard that Su Feng was about to cook for himself, Kobe instantly recovered 50% of his condition.
Actually...
Kobe's insomnia is real, because when he learned that Su Feng became the All-Star starter, he could not sleep for two consecutive nights.
As for the cold...
It's also true.
Because Kobe, who couldn't sleep in those few days, braved the cold winter wind of Los Angeles and got up at four o'clock in the morning to fight several rounds of iron.
However, in fact, before coming to Cleveland, he was already pretty good.
However, Kobe, who is familiar with Su Feng's character, wouldn't know that Su Feng must pierce his heart face to face after coming to Cleveland?
So, he decided to continue "ill", because in his opinion, only in this way can he escape Su Feng's heart.
Just...
Kobe never expected that he could fool you into a big meal?
"Okay, put on your clothes and wear more. I'll find out if there is a Chinese restaurant nearby." Su Feng patted Kobe on the shoulder and said.
"Um...Su, actually I don't like porridge, I want to eat pizza and steak." Kobe looked at Su Feng and said before going out.
"Pizza and steak?" Su Feng was stunned, and then looked at the energetic Kobe, he immediately reacted.
Routine!
I was actually given a routine by Kobe?
Su Feng was shocked, because he never expected Kobe to be like this!
Su Feng shook his head helplessly, no way...
This is no longer the simple-minded Kobe Kobe back then!
However, after seeing that Kobe's state is not serious, Su Feng was relieved a lot.
After all, in this life, Kobe is his best friend.
Su Feng does not hope that it is because of his relationship that Kobe will miss the next All-Star Weekend.
Maybe it was because I felt that I shouldn't use pretending to "lie" Su Feng to cook a big meal for himself. Before leaving the hotel with Su Feng, Kobe took out a gift he specially prepared for Su Feng.
"This is your birthday gift, because we are all playing games at that time, I can't give it to you, so I will bring it to you during this All-Star weekend." Kobe smiled and said to Su Feng.
Su Feng is happy, thinking, you still have a conscience.
Then after opening the box, Su Feng found that the box contained a pair of sneakers...
A pair of A cone 3.
But unlike the A cone 3 that Su Feng wore before, these sneakers...
With the autograph of Michael Jordan and a birthday wish.
"This..." Su Feng looked at Kobe in surprise.
Kobe smiled, "This is after our game with the Bulls yesterday, I specially asked Michael to sign for you."
On the 5th, after the Bulls' victory over the Lakers, Ke found Jordan as soon as possible after the game.
When Jordan saw Kobe, he felt that this kid had something to do with him, so he didn't even think about it~IndoMTL.com~ he signed Kobe on a pair of A-cone 3.
And then, at Kobe’s request, Jordan also added a birthday wish. At that time, Jordan looked at Kobe curiously and said: "Is your birthday in April?"
Kobe shook his head, "No, my birthday is August 23. This is a gift from my friend."
Jordan patted Kobe on the shoulder and said: "Your friend is lucky to have a friend like you."
In this way, with the double A cone 3, Kobe came to Cleveland.
Now, these sneakers belong to Su Feng.
For Su Feng, who has become an All-Star starter, Jordan’s signature shoes are not missing, but Su Feng knows that this is Kobe’s heart.
As the so-called gift is not important, the most important thing is affection.
It's like the notebook Kobe gave him when he graduated from high school.
Su Feng feels...
In the future, O'Neill and the others will cry after knowing these things.
"Let's go, it's time to show you my real cooking skills." Su Feng who accepted the gift hooked Kobe's shoulder and smiled.
And just as Su Feng was about to take Kobe out for a fight, Cleveland, already enveloped by the atmosphere of the All-Star weekend, a group of boys from Akron were looking around on the street... ..
The 1997 All-Star Weekend was an exceptionally grand year.
Looking at the 50 NBA superstar posters hanging around, these boys from Akron, the excitement in their hearts cannot be calmed for a long time...
