Chapter 1 The Shock of Little Yao

The Chinese men's basketball training base. When a youthful Xiao Yao walked in carrying his sports backpack and luggage, he was stunned by the scene before him...

Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin, Li Xiaoyong, Wu Naiqun, Zhang Jinsong, Hu Weidong...

"Gulp."

After swallowing hard, Xiao Yao, who had put down his sports backpack and luggage, instantly became the focus of everyone's attention.

Including Kobe and McGrady, who were training with Manthius and Frazier on the other half of the court, all turned their attention to Xiao Yao at this moment.

The 17-year-old Xiao Yao was already 222 centimeters tall.

Although he was still a bit slender, it was difficult to take your eyes off a giant like him when he appeared.

That is, if there wasn't someone even more eye-catching than Xiao Yao...

Bang, bang, bang!

On the court, Wang Zhizhi's mentality collapsed.

What the hell is going on that I can't budge him?

If you know Wang Zhizhi's life story, then you will know that the 20-year-old him had an extremely smooth journey.

He was selected for the national team at the age of 18 and competed in the Olympic Games at the age of 19, becoming famous for a time. He even gave "Admiral" Robinson a big block in the Olympic Games.

Who knows how many Chinese fans were mesmerized by his flexible footwork?

Because in the future, Wang Zhizhi's footwork...

His successors really couldn't learn it!

However, an overly smooth early career also made Wang Zhizhi, like most talented teenagers...

Arrogant.

In Su Feng's previous life, Da Zhi was notoriously averse to physical contact.

As early as last year's Summer League, Kobe had told Su Feng that there was a Chinese men's basketball center who liked to avoid contact...

At the time, without thinking, Da Zhi's figure appeared in Su Feng's mind.

Don't be surprised, it's not that Da Zhi didn't like physical contact in national team games.

In Su Feng's previous life, even after going to the NBA in the future, he was very averse to physical and strength training.

As for the reason...

It was also very simple.

Because most of the time, in the CBA, in Asia, before his opponents could beat him, he had already beaten them.

You should know that Xiao Yao's early experiences in the CBA were a textbook of how he was abused by Da Zhi.

It is true that Wang Zhizhi and Nowitzki exploded each other when Wang Zhizhi was on the Mavericks in the future, and it is also true that O'Neal praised his footwork as being better than most centers when he was on the Heat.

However, if you analyze it from a higher and more objective perspective...

Then you will know that Wang Zhizhi's static talent destined him to be very invincible in slightly lower-level games, but very limited in slightly higher-level games.

Wang Zhizhi's wingspan was not long enough, and his shoulders were slightly narrower than Nowitzki's.

Therefore, Nowitzki could develop a level of defense around the free-throw line in the future, but Wang Zhizhi could not, and too much weight gain would cause Da Zhi to lose his original style.

To put it bluntly, Da Zhi's idea that he could replace Nowitzki if he went to the Mavericks earlier was impossible to achieve in terms of talent.

In Su Feng's previous life, Da Zhi's finishing rate at the basket in his NBA career was only 54.3%.

In his two seasons with the Mavericks, his average attempts at the basket were 0.6 and 0.9 times respectively, and after arriving at the Heat, his finishing rate at the basket even dropped to 43.8% for a while.

In addition, Da Zhi's average number of blocks in the NBA was only 0.3, which was definitely an unqualified statistic from the perspective of an inside player.

In simple terms, Da Zhi didn't need to make contact in Asia and the CBA, but when he got to the NBA, he couldn't make contact.

The 2008 Olympic Games, where the Chinese men's basketball team fought Spain, was also an example. When Da Yao was on the court, Spain would basically avoid going to the basket.

But after Da Yao left the court and Da Zhi was substituted, Spain began to attack the basket.

Therefore, the early smooth experience led Da Zhi to become so arrogant that he couldn't see himself clearly, and the consequence of this was...

He lacked a sense of his own place.

If Da Zhi could correct his mentality, he could easily make a splash in the NBA with his offensive talent.

Let's not talk about the distant future, let's just compare him with Hu Weidong.

In the past two days, in his conversations with Lao Hu, Su Feng had roughly heard that Hu Weidong wanted to play in the NBA.

Su Feng did not interfere with this, because Su Feng didn't even need to give advice to someone like Lao Hu.

Because the beatings he had suffered in China had given Hu Weidong a clear understanding of himself.

Wang Zhizhi's mentality was different from Hu Weidong's.

How could you expect a 20-year-old to have the same ideological awareness as Hu Weidong?

Play as a sixth man or a role player in the NBA?

Which young man didn't dream of being a core player when he was young?

From Lao Hu, Su Feng also heard Da Zhi's arrogance, which was why Su Feng hadn't seen Da Zhi in the training hall for the past two days.

"Xiao Wang doesn't seem to be very respectful of Coach Zhang," Hu Weidong said euphemistically to Su Feng.

Su Feng nodded, feeling that he was really fated with this group of proud people in this life...

But then again, Su Feng found that he seemed to be good at dealing with proud people.

As a "Textbook for Dealing with Proud People", Su Feng knew that to deal with Lao Hu, all you had to do was reason with him.

But if you want to deal with Da Zhi, you have to let Da Zhi feel the iron fist of socialism first.

In Su Feng's previous life, let's not talk about Da Zhi's breakup with the Basketball Association in the future. First of all, Da Zhi's mentality was very arrogant at the time.

And that inflated mentality also led Da Zhi to become increasingly lost after being incited by the people around him.

Secondly, in order to protect Da Zhi's smile, Su Feng knew that he had to give Da Zhi a clear understanding of the NBA.

To be honest...

Da Zhi's naive idea of trying to reverse his status in the team through the Summer League...

You should know that in the early 21st century, NBA scouts were running to Asia like crazy, observing Xiao Yao. Refusing the national team's call-up and running to play in the Summer League was not a good idea.

Finally, it was necessary for Su Feng to expose Da Zhi's inflated heart in advance.

Because only in this way could Da Zhi find his place in the NBA in the future.

Wang Zhizhi's talent destined him to not reach the height of Da Yao in the future, but he still had a good chance of being a stretch four in the NBA, earning an annual salary of two or three million, and developing himself well.

Being able to be a utility player in the NBA, and an offensive utility player at that, meant that you were already one of the top players on the planet.

In this life, with himself helping Da Zhi attract taunts, Su Feng was very clear that Da Zhi's pressure after entering the NBA in the future would definitely not be so great.

Therefore, all things considered, on this day, after finally seeing Da Zhi's true face, Su Feng smiled and said to him:

"Let's play one-on-one?"

Da Zhi put away his arrogance towards Su Feng.

But looking at Su Feng's smug expression, Da Zhi also wanted to let Su Feng see his skills.

Then...

There was no then.

If the current Da Zhi could budge Su Feng, then Guo Ailun wouldn't have cried in the bathroom in the future.

Moreover, Da Zhi's flexible footwork directly malfunctioned when facing Su Feng's high-speed lateral movement and repeated jumps.

Especially Da Zhi's feints, which were not difficult for Su Feng, who had just experienced the "Old Rogue's" abuse, to predict.

And Da Zhi's height...

Was also restricted by Su Feng using the rules and his elbows.

As for shooting over Su Feng's face?

That was even more impossible. With Su Feng's close-fitting defense, any attempt by Da Zhi to shoot would inevitably lead to distorted movements.

The Chinese men's basketball players watching from the sidelines were shocked.

This...

Is this NBA-level defense?

To be honest, Chinese basketball at this time clearly lacked a sense of place and understanding of the NBA.

Just like many people in the future thought that Da Yao could easily score "20+10" per game in the NBA.

In fact, maybe the tactical concepts of the NBA will lag behind Europe in the next few years, but in terms of intensity of physical contact and pace of the game, it is definitely world-class.

In this way, on the training ground, Su Feng made Da Zhi doubt his life for two rounds in a row.

The reason why Su Feng could completely defeat Da Zhi in one-on-one was also very simple.

Assuming that Wang Zhizhi's current ability value is in the range of 70 to 75, then as much as Da Zhi's offense pulls up his score, his physical contact and defense pull down his score.

In the Bayi team, because the Bayi team's perimeter players are all a bunch of tough guys, Da Zhi's defense is invisibly protected.

In one-on-one with Su Feng, Su Feng's attributes happen to restrain the current Wang Zhizhi.

The current Da Zhi weighs only about 100 kilograms, while Su Feng has gained nearly 98 kilograms after completing his weight gain in the summer.

In terms of muscle density, Su Feng is much stronger than Da Zhi.

"I lost..."

On the court, although he was still a little unwilling, Wang Zhizhi didn't want to play against Su Feng anymore.

It was meaningless...

Wouldn't it be continuing to embarrass himself if he continued to play?

At this moment, Wang Zhizhi began to doubt himself like never before...

Wang Zhizhi hadn't felt so tired at the Atlanta Olympic Games last year.

Well... Da Zhi's feelings were not an illusion, because five-on-five and one-on-one are different.

The American men's basketball team still had to take the perimeter players of the Chinese men's basketball team at this time seriously. Look, didn't the fake Second Master Guan help Lao Hu gain some prestige?

But in one-on-one, Wang Zhizhi's current shortcomings are obviously magnified.

The other men's basketball players on the sidelines felt sorry for Da Zhi at this moment.

In the national team at this time, Wang Zhizhi was the team's favorite.

However, after comparing him with Su Feng today, everyone finally knew why Hu Weidong had said before...

When Su Feng comes back, you will know what a world of difference is.

"Don't be discouraged, Da Wang. In the NBA, there are only about two hundred players like me, not many."

In order to let Da Zhi see the direction of the future in advance, Su Feng encouraged Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi: "..."

Are you sure this is encouraging me?

"Da Zhi, do you see that trainer? Yes, the one wearing the gray t-shirt. His name is Manthius.

If you want to beat me, then I suggest you strengthen your core strength training."

Wang Zhizhi's style of play is destined to be difficult for him if he is too heavy. In Su Feng's opinion, it would be just right for Da Zhi's weight to increase to about 110 to 115 kilograms in the future.

This weight can ensure that he will not be beaten by anyone who comes up against him, and at the same time, it can allow him to continue to use his gorgeous low-post offensive skills.

The current Wang Zhizhi is definitely lacking in core strength, which is why he can't move like he does against others when facing Su Feng.

"You also need to speed up the shooting speed of your shooting action, because in the NBA, the other side won't just watch you shoot." After a pause, Su Feng added.

However, on the court...

Although Wang Zhizhi listened to Su Feng's advice, he was now a little afraid to think about playing in the NBA after being abused by Su Feng.

Just when he noticed that Wang Zhizhi's confidence seemed to have been over-damaged by himself, Su Feng suddenly discovered Xiao Yao, who had completed the entry procedures and was standing aside eating melon.

Tsk, he's really tall...

"Brother Feng... hello, I... I'm Yao Ming from the Shanghai team!"

Looking at Su Feng walking towards him, Xiao Yao was so nervous that he began to stutter.

On the sidelines, Su Feng reached out and touched Xiao Yao's arm.

Well... his physical contact is still a bit lacking, but he already has the foundation.

The Shanghai team's training of Xiao Yao is indeed quite steady.

Speaking of which, the reason why Yao Ming was able to achieve such achievements in the NBA in the future is inseparable from the Shanghai team's training of him in his early years.

In addition to having a good foundation, Xiao Yao was also beaten by Da Zhi in his early career, which led him and Wang Zhizhi to take completely different paths in terms of mental growth.

Even after going to the NBA in the future, Xiao Yao has always been in awe of the world.

"Hello, I'm Su Feng." Su Feng said with a smile to Xiao Yao.

"Brother Feng... you can call me Xiao Yao, or Xiao Ming..." Xiao Yao said, lowering his head.

Pfft!

Oh, this damn seniority of mine.

To be honest, Su Feng was not very happy when he really heard Xiao Yao call him Brother Feng, but rather...

Sad.

Don't worry, Xiao Yao, I'll be there to light the way in this life.

"Do you want to go up and practice too?" Su Feng said, patting Xiao Yao's shoulder.

"Practice with you, Brother Feng...?" Xiao Yao said, touching his head.

"No, practice with Da Wang."

I have to say, Xiao Yao's entry into the team today came at a really critical time.

Right now, Wang Zhizhi needs to regain his confidence, and where else is there a better punching bag than Xiao Yao in this training hall?

After all, even if other old players went up to play against Wang Zhizhi and Da Zhi won, he would more or less feel that the old players were deliberately holding back in order to comfort him.

But Xiao Yao is different.

As another talented teenager who was promoted to the Chinese men's basketball team, Wang Zhizhi was very interested in Xiao Yao when he noticed his height.

Therefore, accept Da Zhi's abuse in advance, Xiao Yao.

On the court, after warming up, Wang Zhizhi and Yao Ming's PK once again attracted everyone's attention.

At this moment, even Kobe, who was on the sidelines, temporarily stopped his one-sided abuse of McGrady.

At first, after his confidence was shattered by Su Feng, Wang Zhizhi actually wanted to go back to his room and cry for a while.

But in Wang Zhizhi's opinion, it would be too embarrassing if he refused to play one-on-one with Xiao Yao.

So, after refocusing his attention, looking at Xiao Yao, who was half a head taller than him, Wang Zhizhi played very cautiously.

But...

Huh, that's strange...

Why am I playing so easily?

"Will this kid be crippled by Da Wang?" Liu Yudong asked worriedly.

"He was abused like this by Da Wang as soon as he came to the national team. Will his confidence be affected in the future?" Zhang Jinsong felt sorry for Xiao Yao for three seconds in his heart.

Seriously, isn't this just a replica of Su Feng beating Da Zhi just now?

Zhang Bin, the coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, originally wanted to say something, but when he noticed that Su Feng was looking at the duel on the court with a smile on his face, Zhang Bin gave up his plan to end this one-on-one.

Xiao Yao will be abused to the point of being autistic?

That's impossible.

If Xiao Yao's personality was like Kwame Brown's, then Su Feng would definitely not use this method to let Xiao Yao experience Wang Zhizhi's horror in advance.

Resolute and unyielding, from Yao Ming's eyes on the court, Su Feng saw only the same fighting spirit as he had when facing Jordan.

"Again!"

"Can we do it again?"

"I can still play!"

"The Great Wall of China" is "The Great Wall of China".

Even though he was startled by Xiao Yao's shout of Brother Feng when he first met Xiao Yao, Su Feng knew that this was the Yao Ming he was familiar with when Xiao Yao repeatedly failed but still asked to fight again.

That...

Yao Ming, who carried the hopes of the rabbits, wreaked havoc in the NBA, and fought against O'Neal.

"How is it, are you okay?"

Seeing that Xiao Yao's physical strength was almost exhausted, Su Feng stepped forward in time and handed him a bottle of sports drink.

It was also strange, Su Feng and Xiao Yao were clearly meeting for the first time today, but the system defaulted that Su Feng could share ordinary nutrient solution with Xiao Yao...

"Could it be that Xiao Yao has been 'secretly in love' with me?" Su Feng thought curiously.

"It's okay, Brother Feng, I'm fine. I can still fight."

Xiao Yao said vigorously after drinking the sports drink given by Su Feng.

"Okay, okay, that's enough.

I want to take you to play in the Asian Championships. If you continue to be beaten by Da Wang like this, how dare Coach Zhang take you to play in the Asian Championships?" Su Feng tiptoed and whispered in Yao Ming's ear.

What?

The Asian Championships!?

Xiao Yao was embarrassed!

"I... I'm only 17 years old... Brother Feng!"

Xiao Yao, who originally thought that he was just here to gild himself in the national team, didn't expect Su Feng to be so daring?

17... What's wrong with 17?

Do you know that the person you are playing against now is the top inside player in Asia?

Do you really think that the stinky fish and rotten shrimp in Asia are all Wang Zhizhi?

Su Feng's purpose in taking Yao Ming to the Asian Championships is very simple, because many of the old players in the current men's basketball team need to rest.

Su Feng knows that the men's basketball players at this time take it as an honor to represent the national team in games.

But if these people don't take appropriate rest, then Su Feng can't always expect himself to be able to beat five players, right?

The 17-year-old Xiao Yao is definitely not comparable to the Da Yao of the future in all aspects.

But let's not talk about anything else, as long as he can stand in the inside, how many opponents in Asia can easily shoot in front of him?

Moreover, Xiao Yao at this time already has a certain amount of footwork and shooting range.

In Su Feng's opinion, as long as he arranges tactics reasonably for Xiao Yao, he will definitely become famous in the Asian games.

Therefore, considering multiple angles, it is very important to take the 17-year-old Xiao Yao out to see the world.

As for the Shanghai team's training ideas for Xiao Yao, Su Feng doesn't want to interfere too much.

Because the Shanghai team's training of Xiao Yao is not a big problem.

As for when Xiao Yao plays in the NBA in the future, a certain amount of weight gain and core strength training is certain. Su Feng will only advise Xiao Yao not to gain more than 135 kilograms at that time.

Because the extra 5 kilograms of weight in the end is really not necessary.

And Reebok's terrible center shoes...

Of course, like dealing with Lao Hu and Da Zhi.

In Su Feng's opinion, the future choices must be left to Xiao Yao himself, because he is just a tool person responsible for giving advice.

"What, you don't want to play in the Asian Championships with me?" Su Feng asked curiously, looking up at Yao Ming.

"No... no!

I want to play, I want to play, hehehe." Xiao Yao said with an embarrassed smile.

"Isn't that enough?

There are still two months before the start of the Asian Championships. During this time, you should practice your defensive stance with the seniors.

You should not participate in strength training for the time being, but in terms of diet, you have to listen to my arrangements.

In addition, you must take the nap that you should take, understand?" Su Feng said, patting Xiao Yao's back.

"No problem! But Brother Feng... can you tell me about your stories in the NBA?" Xiao Yao asked curiously.

"Okay, you come to my room tonight." Su Feng said with a smile.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao said happily.

In this way, the training atmosphere of the Chinese men's basketball team was completely distorted because of Su Feng.

At Su Feng's suggestion, some of the injured players in the Chinese men's basketball team were treated for their injuries, and those who needed to do recovery exercises did recovery exercises.

As for the rest who were unscathed, they did core strength exercises with Manthius.

In addition, after McGrady and Kobe also joined the daily five-on-five, the Chinese men's basketball players once again felt what talent is...

Hu Weidong said with emotion: "Last year in Long Beach, I remember that I played against Kobe.

But only a year has passed, and he has completely become another person."

Su Feng nodded, "We can't learn this kind of talent, Lao Hu."

Hu Weidong: "..."

You are also a pervert, okay?

Now in the joint training, whoever is on the opposite side of Su Feng wants to cry.

Zhang Jinsong, nicknamed "Desperate Saburo", felt that his defense was one in the sky and one on the ground compared with Su Feng.

After gradually regaining his confidence, Wang Zhizhi and Su Feng began to communicate more.

At Su Feng's suggestion, Wang Zhizhi decided to learn English well in advance to prepare for playing in the NBA in the future.

As for Xiao Yao...

He was most looking forward to sneaking into Su Feng's room every night to listen to Su Feng tell him stories.

But then again, in this period of joint training, what impressed the Chinese men's basketball players the most was the diet arranged by Su Feng.

It was not only delicious, but every time they finished eating, everyone felt that their physical strength recovered faster than before.

"Brother Feng, can I sleep with you tonight?

I want to listen to you tell stories for a while longer." Xiao Yao said, looking at Su Feng with a smile.

For Xiao Yao, this experience in the national team was like a dream.

Because Su Feng's approachability completely exceeded his imagination.

Looking at the embarrassed Xiao Yao, Su Feng was suddenly covered in black lines.

He didn't know why, but Su Feng always felt that Xiao Yao in this life seemed to have had a little accident in his growth...

……

There is still some time before the start of the Asian Championships, let us temporarily turn our attention back to the NBA.

In the Summer League, the Chicago Bulls discovered a valuable talent.

According to the requirements of the "Zen Master", the Bulls selected many outstanding defensive perimeter players when selecting the Summer League lineup before.

The trajectory of history has therefore deviated once again.

Bruce Bowen, who would have gone to Boston to submit his resume, submitted his resume to Chicago with his respect for the Bulls.

And his outstanding defense also left a deep impression on the Bulls' coaches in the Summer League.

If it was in Su Feng's previous life, the Bulls would not have cared about a player who couldn't even get 10 points per game in the Summer League.

But...

In order to find a player who could help Jordan and Pippen solve Su Feng...

The assistant coaches of the Bulls noticed Bowen's unique temperament at first sight in this life.

"Offer him a one-year veteran minimum salary."

After watching the game video of the Summer League, the "Zen Master" called Jerry Krause.

And Jerry Krause's efficiency in handling things can be said to be quite fast.

After all, it was just a one-year veteran minimum salary.

In this way, Bowen couldn't believe that he...

Actually joined the Chicago Bulls!

Moreover, he also received extra care from the "Zen Master".

"I don't need you to practice your offense, but I need you to continue to improve your defensive skills.

In addition, you need to spend more time watching and studying Su's game videos.

As long as you can practice your three-point shooting from the corner, then you will be an important member of our team next season!"

After Krause signed Bowen, Jackson called Bowen.

"No... no problem!"

Bowen, who felt that he was extremely lucky, was full of endless motivation at this moment.

Su Feng?

Don't worry, coach!

This person, leave it to Bruce Bowen.

……

Boston, after explaining the training focus for Duncan in the summer...

Auerbach's attention temporarily returned to the two major issues of player renewal and free agent signing.

In Su Feng's previous life, David Wesley, who would have left the team due to the poor record last season, and Fox, the team's captain last year, have now decided to renew their contracts with the team.

And Auerbach did not hide it from them.

When renewing the contracts with Wesley and Fox, Auerbach said frankly:

"Even if I trade you in the near future, are you willing to renew your contracts with the Celtics?"

Fox smiled and said: "I will be satisfied even if I only play half a season under your leadership."

Auerbach nodded and promised: "If this Celtics team can win the championship in the future... then I will definitely retire your jerseys."

Respecting every tool person who has contributed to the Celtics, this is Auerbach's completely different idea from others.

You may not believe it, but Auerbach is not very anxious about the reconstruction of this Celtics team.

Although he already has a clear goal at this moment.

But in order to respect Stern, Auerbach believes that it is better not to stimulate the little Jewish old man any further in the short term.

Let Duncan lead this Celtics team to rush upwards first.

In Auerbach's opinion, it is still very necessary to use half a season to cultivate Duncan's leadership temperament.

Even though he thinks that Duncan is already perfect now.

According to Auerbach's plan, this summer, Duncan will further improve his basic skills under the guidance of a group of Celtics legends.

The higher Duncan's talent is, the more necessary it is for Duncan to learn to save, in Auerbach's opinion.

Let Duncan play for half a season first, and then strengthen the team through trades to impact the playoffs. This is Auerbach's plan for Duncan's rookie season.

Step by step, steady and steady.

Not impatient, steady and steady.
