During Su Feng's time at home, Su Weiguo felt that his family status could only be described as "less than a dog."

Su Weiguo, the president of the prestigious Su Group, was now being scrutinized even for eating an extra piece of meat!

In Su Weiguo's opinion, if Su Feng stayed home a few days longer, he wouldn't even need to go to the gym anymore.

And what was most infuriating was that Su Feng, that little brat, was hailed as a "national hero" just for playing basketball...

While Su Weiguo, a man of status, had become the "disappointing son" in his own father's eyes?

What was going on?

Could a man not even relax at home?

Was this how the rest of his days would be spent?

"Weiguo, what are you standing there like an idiot for?

Can't you see I'm playing chess with Gouwazi? Do you even understand chess? Go away, go cool off somewhere."

Seeing the grandfather and grandson playing chess in the yard, Su Weiguo originally wanted to join in.

After all, in Su Weiguo's opinion, Su Feng's chess skills were so poor that he could win even if he gave that idiot a rook, knight, and cannon advantage.

But...

Hearing Grandpa Su's reprimand, how could Su Weiguo dare to argue?

"Weiguo, if you still want to eat, then don't bother me in the kitchen, okay?"

Just as Su Weiguo was about to turn around and go to the kitchen to help his wife, he never expected to be scolded there too!

Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that Su Feng, the little brat, was going to Shenzhen tomorrow to join the national team, Su Weiguo would really be feeling suicidal.

"That little brat... ah, no, my good son, it's not easy for you to play basketball in America all by yourself.

So, I think, in the future, don't always come home so often. Focus on playing well and winning glory for the country, that should be your main task."

That night, after dinner, Su Weiguo said meaningfully to Su Feng.

After pondering for a moment, Su Feng replied, "Comrade Weiguo, don't I only come home for a few days a year? How can you say I'm always coming home?"

"Exactly, Su Weiguo, you're already unhappy that your son only comes home for a few days a year?

But why do you run faster than a track athlete when Old Xu asks you to have dinner with female celebrities?" Wang Yuanyuan retorted angrily to Su Weiguo.

"You dog thing! Our Su family has been loyal and good for generations, and Gouwazi is also a talented person, but why did you have to be such a useless piece of trash?"

Well...

Before Su Weiguo could defend himself, Grandpa Su, sitting in the center seat, started moralizing again.

So, Su Weiguo shut himself up.

But amidst this joyful and harmonious family atmosphere, Su Feng felt a warmth he had never experienced in his previous life.

Su Feng knew very well that Su Weiguo was a typical tough-on-the-outside-soft-on-the-inside guy. He always seemed to be the one who urged him to leave the most, but in reality, he was also the one who was most reluctant to see him go.

Perhaps, this was what they called fatherly love!

...

And so, on the 11th, after staying at home for almost a week, Su Feng officially set off for Shenzhen to join the national team.

Because this time the men's basketball team won the Asian Championship with invinsible power, unlike Su Feng's previous life, Zhang Bin is still the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, and Jiang Xingquan is his assistant.

If Su Feng remembered correctly, the 1999 Asian Men's Basketball Championship held in Fukuoka, Japan, would be the famous revenge battle of the golden generation.

Because of the defeat in West Asia two years ago, the golden generation, holding their breath in this Asian Championship, would make the whole of Asia feel their anger.

In his previous life, Su Feng had read a memoir about this Asian Championship in the 18th issue of *Basketball* published in 1999.

In summary, it was nothing more than Yao Ming blocking opponents to tears, Wang Zhizhi dazzling opponents, and Hu Weidong scoring five, six, seven, or eight three-pointers.

At this time, the overall level of Asian basketball was generally low.

So, if Wang Zhizhi and Hu Weidong, two players currently playing in the NBA, were called nuclear weapons in Asian basketball games;

Then he, Su Feng, would probably be the dimensionality reducer from *The Three-Body Problem*.

Therefore, in Su Feng's view, the key to this Asian Championship was to go to Japan to buy some of his favorite limited-edition figures. As for winning the championship...

Well, it was just a task to be done along the way.

However, because this men's basketball team would be undertaking the Olympic Games mission next year, after arriving in Shenzhen this time, Su Feng was still more concerned about the growth progress of the members of this men's basketball team.

Bateer, who missed the Asian Championship held in West Asia two years ago due to injury, was successfully selected into Zhang Bin's roster this time.

And so far, the future three major centers of the Chinese basketball world, who would become famous for a time, have officially gathered together.

As for Liu Yudong and others who had been plagued by injuries two years ago, after Su Feng successively introduced advanced and scientific training concepts for the national team in the past two years, his injury situation was also much better than in the same period of his previous life.

In short, in Su Feng's view, the luxury of this Chinese men's basketball team in Asia was such that he couldn't find any other adjective besides a galaxy battleship.

Especially after he, the NBA MVP, joined the men's basketball team, other opponents in Asia wanted to call the police long before the start of this Fukuoka Asian Championship.

You need to know that because only by winning the Asian Championship can you directly get tickets to the Olympic Games, so in the past, the competition in this Asian Championship before the start of the Olympic Games has been very fierce and cruel.

But now...

You may not believe it, but smart Asian teams have already begun to study how to play in the Olympic qualifying tournament.

It is worth mentioning that, because in his previous life, Bateer would become inflated after landing in the NBA because of winning the NBA championship, and even lead to conflicts between him and Yao Ming in the future, Su Feng originally thought that Bateer was a difficult person to get along with.

But what Su Feng never expected was that on the first day he arrived in Shenzhen, Bateer came to visit with a bag of fruit...

It turned out that after Wang Zhizhi landed in the NBA, Bateer also had the idea of playing in the NBA.

In the past two years, because of Su Feng's earlier "Olympic medal" plan, the obstacles for Chinese players to go to the NBA to play have obviously not been as great as in the same period of his previous life.

Therefore, Bateer, who believed that he was not inferior to Wang Zhizhi, also wanted to go to the league that symbolized the highest level of world basketball to take a look.

However, unlike Wang Zhizhi, who joined the NBA through the draft last year, because Bateer has exceeded the age limit according to the NBA's draft age regulations, if he wants to join the NBA, he can only take the same path as Old Hu back then.

So, after being selected for the national team this time, Bateer inquired about the method of joining the NBA as a non-draft player from Hu Weidong.

Then, Hu Weidong, who entered the NBA with the help of Su Feng's connection that year, pointed out a clear path to Bateer.

"Go to Little Su!"

And Little Su in Old Hu's mouth, after learning that Bateer had already settled with the Beijing team, and was only one chance away from landing in the NBA, looked at Bateer's muscles...

Su Feng smiled and said to him, "I can let the Raptors provide you with a trial training opportunity.

But you have to think about it, because in general, players like non-draft players will not get very high treatment in the NBA before they make a name for themselves."

In his previous life, as a Chinese basketball player who had also left his mark in the NBA, although most of Bateer's NBA career was spent on the bench, this guy was indeed a decent meat shield player.

Of course, many of Bateer's stories have also been mythologized later.

First of all, as an inside player, Bateer's lateral movement speed can be completely described as a "classic car".

In FIBA, using the rules, he can protect the basket well.

But in the NBA, his slow lateral movement speed makes it difficult for him to effectively protect his own basket.

Moreover, Bateer's wingspan is also a tragedy.

Therefore, despite having a good basic skills, Bateer was destined from the beginning that he could not reach the height of Yao Ming because of his own talent limitations.

In addition, many naive Bateer fans believe that Bateer can defend O'Neal one-on-one, which is completely living in a dream.

Because if Bateer could really defend O'Neal one-on-one, then Popovich would not have arranged him to be a sparring partner in the year he won the championship with the Spurs, but would have sent him up to fight against O'Neal.

In this life, judging from Wang Zhizhi's growth pattern in the NBA, even if the expectations for Wang's growth are better than in the same period of his previous life, Wang will still not escape the fate of being sanctioned by talent.

Therefore, Su Feng wanted to let the Raptors provide Bateer with a trial training opportunity, not because he expected Bateer to be able to withstand O'Neal.

It's just that in Su Feng's view, after introducing Little O'Neal this summer, the Raptors no longer have much room for operation.

So although Bateer is not the most ideal partner, at least, in three to five minutes of playing time, he can help the Raptors in an emergency.

However, as someone who has been there, Su Feng also knows very well that if Bateer wants to join the Raptors, the biggest resistance may come from Stern.

Because although Stern is willing to support Chinese players, just like the Bulls this season, even if the Chicago market is not good, they still have an audience among Chinese fans...

Stern will never watch these cash cows all stay on one team.

Therefore, Su Feng plans to let the Raptors provide Bateer with a trial training, not entirely out of consideration for the future of the Raptors.

Because Su Feng knows that once the news that the Raptors are trying out Bateer spreads, there will be no shortage of NBA teams willing to extend an olive branch to him.

Anyway, it doesn't matter if the Raptors don't get Bateer.

Because Su Feng has many ways to deal with that fat-headed fish.

In Su Feng's view, the important thing is that as long as Bateer can successfully land in the NBA and become his helper in winning medals in the Olympic Games and the World Championships in the future.

In Su Feng's previous life, Bateer was invincible in the CBA for a long time after returning to China from the United States in the future.

Plus, this men's basketball team has him now, so this guy can't be arrogant, so as long as he is guided a little, the conflict between him and Yao Ming in his previous life will not happen.

And for Bateer, who came to ask for help with fruit that day, he did not expect that as the NBA's MVP...

Su Feng was so approachable.

Originally, before Bateer came to Su Feng, Bateer was still more worried about some of Su Feng's practices in the national team.

For example, Su Feng's various privileges in the national team, in Bateer's view, no matter how he looked at it, Su Feng did not seem like this kind of easy-to-talk person.

However, how could Bateer know that Su Feng was able to get along well in the national team purely because the Bayi team players in the national team took care of this "little brother".

You need to know that the members of the Bayi team basically accounted for half of the national team during this period, so who would dare to bully Su Feng in the national team on weekdays?

Have you asked about Liu Yudong's big elbow?

In addition, Su Feng's dominance in West Asia two years ago has directly won him the respect of the old golden generation members.

Therefore, even if Su Feng does not want privileges now, he is spoiled by these big brothers to have privileges.

There is no way, Su Feng is also very helpless about his "group pet" status.

And not long after Su Feng decided to help Bateer get into the NBA, on the 22nd, Shenzhen, before the team set off for Fukuoka, Japan, the warm-up match between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Croatian men's basketball team also successfully detonated the entire Zhonghua Family on this day.

Countless Chinese fans who wanted to witness Su Feng's demeanor with their own eyes...

Even in this era without high-speed rail, and most people still can't afford to fly, they blocked the city of Shenzhen.

For Yi Jianlian, who was lucky enough to sneak into the stadium with Dai Yixing, he was so shocked when he saw the Chinese national flags all over the stadium...

And when he noticed that the Croatian players were all lining up to take photos with Su Feng, Su Feng on this day was like Michael Jordan at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

"These men from the Balkans want to see what kind of sacred thing the NBA's regular season MVP is.

They are all curious about how you conquered the NBA."

Before the game, Radja, the Croatian legend, former Celtics player, and current Timberwolves player, smiled and said to Su Feng as the captain of the Croatian national team.

And although this extremely age-like dialogue sounds very second to Su Feng, please do not doubt Su Feng's influence in international basketball after he first climbed the peak of the NBA.

As Stern had expected, after Su Feng, a player from China, became the first overseas MVP in NBA history...

Now, the entire international basketball world is looking forward to Su Feng continuing to climb forward and leading the Chinese men's basketball team to climb out of this mountain in Asia...

Because at that time, the whole world will be able to hear Su Feng's story at the Olympic Games.

And Shenzhen, on this day, when Su Feng appeared in the national team's uniform, the Chinese fans who could watch this game live or in front of the TV were undoubtedly happy.

Because for Chinese basketball enthusiasts in this era, there is nothing more gratifying than being able to watch Su Feng perform at their doorstep.

And for Yi Jianlian, who is still slightly immature at this moment...

He will never forget August 22, 1999.

Although it was just a friendly match.

Although his seat was very far back at the time.

However, when Su Feng flew over Croatian legend Radja like a flying dragon and completed the dunk that would be repeatedly mentioned by Chinese fans in the future...

The cheers that erupted throughout Shenzhen and the entire Zhonghua Family on that day, Yi Jianlian will never forget in his life.

What a grand occasion that was.

How dazzling that was.

How brilliant that was.

"This is Su Feng! This is the Chinese basketball flying man!"
