Chapter 1 Training Facility

Inside the training facility.

To save face for both Jordan and Su Feng, the other Raptors players had developed a good habit of never "seeing" when the two began their one-on-one true man battles.

Therefore, inside the arena, besides the pre-arranged cameras, no one knew just how brutal this April Fool's Day battle between Su Feng and Jordan was.

If it's said that the aging Michael Jordan once again taught Su Feng a lesson with his experience and technique,

Then Su Feng, too, used his seemingly cheat-like stamina to once again make Jordan feel the full force of time's hostility toward him.

Judging from the final score of 7-7 between the two, Jordan didn't lose.

But even with a face as thick as a city wall, Jordan knew very well that, in fact...

He had lost this April Fool's Day battle.

Looking at Su Feng, who was still full of energy after fighting for 14 rounds, the "Old Rogue" couldn't help but recall that summer two years ago...

That night without air conditioning, like a nightmare.

And then...

There was no then.

"Let's call it a day."

Patting Su Feng's shoulder, Jordan said to him, "You still have to carry the team while I'm resting, so don't overdo it."

Hearing this, Su Feng grinned.

Having developed an increasing rapport with Jordan, Su Feng knew very well that Jordan wanted him to give him a way out.

"Alright, let's call it a day, Michael," Su Feng replied with a smile, obediently and sensibly.

See, communication and exchanges between "rogues" are always so straightforward.

"However, let me state first, if the team loses too many games while I'm away, I will end my vacation early," Jordan said to Su Feng after taking a few steps down the stairs Su Feng had provided.

"I understand.

Rest assured, Michael, I won't give you a chance to end your vacation early," Su Feng said with a smile.

Jordan: "..."

Honestly, in Jordan's opinion, if he could seal Su Feng's mouth with tape, Su Feng would be almost perfect.

Oh well.

Considering that Su Feng, this tool, was performing well on the court, Jordan, being the magnanimous person he always was, didn't mind him occasionally violating his "divine power."

Believe it or not, Jordan's trust in Su Feng now even surpassed that of Pippen, whom he once loved.

As the saying goes, respect is never given by others.

In his previous life, the respect that Yao Ming earned in the NBA was in stark contrast to that of other Chinese players in the NBA.

In this life, who knows just how many people he, Su Feng, had beaten to tears?

...

And so, after ending this April Fool's Day battle, Su Feng, with one arrow, killed two birds: not only did he successfully dissuade the eager-to-return Boss Jordan, but he also brought his previous [Legacy of a God] mission to a successful conclusion.

It has to be said that spring, in addition to being the season for mating, is also a season for harvest.

Having been grinding since the end of January, if it hadn't been because this Jordan was still finding his form, Su Feng felt that this mission would definitely have been the most difficult one he had ever received.

But no matter how bitter the process of completing this mission was, Su Feng didn't feel the slightest bit of fatigue after successfully obtaining "Jordan's Fadeaway."

Because now, he was once again about to usher in an epic level of strengthening!

You have to know that as early as when he created the "Feng's Fadeaway," Su Feng had once fantasized in his mind about a picture of McGrady on the left and Jordan on the right.

And now...

All of this was about to become a reality.

"The system has detected that 'Jordan's Fadeaway' and the host's 'Feng's Fadeaway' have a compatibility rate of up to 95%.

Also, there is only one fusion slot left for 'Feng's Fadeaway'. Please decide whether to fuse 'Jordan's Fadeaway'."

"Fuse!"

After taking a deep breath, Su Feng decisively replied.

"Fusing, fusion progress 17%...58%...81%..."

"Ding! Fusion complete!"

"Shooting Motion: Feng's Fadeaway (Unique, Su Feng Original).

The exclusive shooting motion of NBA All-Star player Su Feng, known for its graceful posture and strong stability.

Release Speed: ★★★★☆☆☆.

Mid-Range Shot Stability: ★★★★★☆☆.

All-Range Stability: ★★★☆☆☆☆.

Resistance to Interference: ★★★★★☆☆.

Resistance to Blocks: ★★★★★☆☆.

Dead-Angle Offense Ability within Range: ★★★★★★☆.

Shooting Category: Two-Motion Shot, Soft and Hard Hand.

Currently Synthesized: Jordan's Fadeaway, McGrady's Fadeaway.

Bonus after equipping this shooting motion: Increases the ability to ignore defense by 40%, all-range stability by 3%, and shooting speed and clutch feel by 18%.

In addition, the rate of gaining fans increases by 200% after the host scores through a fadeaway.

Exclusive Skill: Demon King Descent.

Demon King Descent: When the host is in a fatigued state during the game, the host's feel will be randomly amplified.

Note: The host can increase the basic level and attributes of this shooting motion through training and matches, and the higher the level of this shooting motion, the more attributes the host can view.

Current Level of this Shooting Motion: Platinum."

Looking at the system interface, Su Feng was surprised to find that this time, after he fused "Jordan's Fadeaway" with "Feng's Fadeaway," all the previous attributes of "Feng's Fadeaway" had gained an extra ☆.

Now, the attribute cap of "Feng's Fadeaway" had all become seven stars.

So, in other words, after fusing Jordan's fadeaway, the upper limit of Su Feng's shooting motion was even higher.

"Reasonable!"

And for this, besides praising the system's reasonableness, Su Feng couldn't find any other adjectives to praise this forging system.

Just like how Curry's three-point ability in the game is only 99 because 2k's setting is only 99, in Su Feng's opinion, in the NBA, the ability values of some monsters shouldn't have an upper limit in the first place.

And besides the potential of Feng's Fadeaway gaining an extra star, Su Feng also noticed that his shooting motion attributes had all gained varying degrees of increase after fusing Jordan's fadeaway.

Moreover, this time after the fusion, he also gained an exclusive skill called "Demon King Descent."

"So I'm really going to go all the way to Shadow Mo Wang?"

To be honest, in Su Feng's opinion, the person who created this system must be a fanatical DotA2 player.

Because this skill name is copied, without even changing it.

And after carefully reading the skill description of "Demon King Descent," Su Feng found that this skill, in a certain sense, might even be more perverted than "Divine Punishment"...

Because, on the basketball court, after a player enters a period of fatigue, even someone as strong as Jordan can't guarantee his feel.

But now...

After "Feng's Fadeaway" gained the skill "Demon King Descent," in future matches, you can even simply understand it as:

The more tired he is, the stronger he becomes.

In addition, according to Su Feng's understanding of this system...

He knows very well that in this reasonable system's settings, the shorter the introduction, the more Bt this skill...

"Even in novels, there can't be a protagonist more European than me, right?"

Looking at the attribute panel of "Feng's Fadeaway," Su Feng thought with emotion.

All jokes aside, the timing of the completion of this [Legacy of a God] mission was also very crucial in Su Feng's opinion.

Because right now, even he was affected by the dense schedule of the shortened season.

And next, during the time when Boss Jordan was resting, the Raptors still had second battles to play against teams like the Celtics and the 76ers.

"As expected, a real man has to play 48 minutes every game.

Health-preserving basketball? Is that something someone like me can do?"

As the idol of a group of young people in the future, Su Feng felt that he had to set an example in future matches.

Things like health-preserving basketball and wolfberry tea had nothing to do with him.

...

Morning of the 2nd.

When the young Carter and McGrady both felt that their waists were a bit too much to handle lately, looking at the vigorous Su Feng, these two cousins really wanted to know what Su Feng was made of.

"Su, don't you feel tired?"

In order to help Carter and McGrady answer their doubts, Nash looked at Su Feng with a curious expression on the training ground.

Don't think that young players can't wait for the coach to max out their playing time, but in this shortened season, besides monsters like Su Feng, there really aren't many young people who can still maintain such a high level of enthusiasm for the game after one hard-fought battle after another.

"Tired?"

Touching Nash's head, Su Feng said with a smile, "Steve, I have 100% enthusiasm for basketball, so even if I play three or four games a day, I won't feel tired."

Nash: "..."

He didn't know why, but at this moment, Nash felt that Su Feng's image was so tall.

Compared to Su Feng, Nash felt that he was just a younger brother among younger brothers.

And on the night of the 2nd, in the second battle against the Nets at the Air Canada Centre, Su Feng, who always did what he said, really played from beginning to end.

The Nets, who were also exceptionally talented, caused a lot of trouble for the Raptors in this game.

And affected by their recent losing streak, Carter, McGrady, Nash and others all performed a bit abnormally on this night.

So, facing the stubborn Pierce, Su Feng's stage was set up like this.

Throughout the game, Su Feng not only defended Pierce, who only made 6 of 18 shots, and only scored 16 points with free throws and three-pointers.

Moreover, without resting for a single second, he even put on a wonderful personal show in the fourth quarter, scoring 17 consecutive points.

TNT TV, Smith said at the time: "This is Su!

If there's one thing I admire most about Su, it's probably his tenacious fighting spirit.

When we defeated the Bulls together back then, maybe everyone had given up on the game at the time, but believe me, Su was definitely the player who still firmly believed that we could defeat the Bulls in the fourth game."

"Although Paul once said that the only difference between him and Su is that Su entered the NBA two years earlier than him.

But in my opinion, Paul must understand that, just like Shaq said, Su is the 'Truth' on the basketball court!" And next to him, Smith's commentary partner also echoed.

Well...

It's just that this life's Pierce doesn't know what the nickname "Truth" means to him, otherwise, who knows if he would stab Su Feng 58 times in the back when Su Feng wasn't paying attention.

However...

Even though Su Feng once again "educated" Pierce in this game, the stubborn Pierce wasn't so easily defeated.

Character determines fate. Pierce's stubborn and unreasonable character was the key reason why he was able to go from a data刷子 (data padder/stat stuffer) to an FMVP in Su Feng's previous life.

Although the Celtics' lineup was undeniably strong, you have to know that not everyone can seize the opportunity when it presents itself.

In the NBA's ancient and long river, are there few players who have been favored by heaven but missed the opportunity themselves?

...

After defeating the Nets, the Raptors, who ended their losing streak, rushed to Philadelphia early on the 3rd to prepare for the team's away game against the 76ers on the 4th.

And it's worth mentioning that because the 4th happened to be Su Feng's 21st birthday, Su Feng had already felt Stern's bad taste when he looked at the schedule earlier.

Birthday night battle against the old club...

Su Feng felt that his stage at that time was simply too big.

"Without a doubt, we are now moving forward on a correct path. I don't want to answer any questions about Su and the Raptors, because I am the coach of the 76ers."

And like Su Feng, Larry Brown, who also felt that his stage was very big, had already set up a net in Philadelphia for Su Feng.

This season, since being beaten badly in Toronto at the beginning of the season, and then torn apart by Su Feng and Smith one after another, Larry Brown was now eager to prove that he was right by washing away his shame in the second battle.

You have to know that since the Raptors started their rampage this season, Brown's hand has been gradually unable to cover the sky in Philadelphia.

So, in order to wash away his shame in this second battle, Brown even rarely let Iverson rest for a game.

No one knew better than Brown...

Just how much the people of Philadelphia missed Su Feng now.

Therefore, Brown, who believed that all games could be lost, except for the Raptors, even issued a decree to the entire team during the team's training session on the 3rd, that they must take down the Raptors.

But...

Just as Larry Brown was preparing for this ordinary regular season game as if it were Game 7 of the Finals...

How could he know that the Raptors had not only canceled their training session on the 3rd, but even the team's training session on the morning of the 4th had been canceled by John Davis.

This season, as the Raptors won more and more games, Davis's mentality had already switched from that of a rookie coach to that of a famous coach.

In fact, the Raptors hadn't really changed their style of play specifically for any team this season.

Apart from O'Neal being able to make Davis use his brain a little, you might not believe it, but Davis had almost forgotten when was the last time he stayed up all night watching videotapes.

"Sigh... It seems that I have to find two reliable assistant coaches for John."

And on the night of the 3rd, after watching the 76ers' recent game videos, Su Feng, who had completed a practice in his brain, thought with emotion.

...
