Chapter 219 The Heartbreak Kid

　　After defeating the Bulls, while having a late-night snack with the team, Su Feng subconsciously pulled out the Ericsson phone Kobe had given him...

　　Then, after staring at the phone for a few seconds, Su Feng realized that in this era, social networks were still in their infancy...

　　But, did they really think that without Twitter, Weibo, Tieba, or a certain Pu forum, Su Feng wouldn't be able to find happiness?

　　"Hey, Kobe, did you watch the live broadcast? I got 28 points and defended Michael so well that..." BEEP BEEP BEEP, Su Feng had barely started when Kobe hung up the phone.

　　Seriously, he wouldn't even give me a chance to show off?

　　Su Feng was stunned for two seconds, thinking: Kobe, do you think I only have your phone number?

　　Little Kobe, you're still too naive!

　　"Hey, Tracy, did you watch the live broadcast? I got 28 points and defended Michael so well that..." BEEP BEEP BEEP, Su Feng was speechless. What kind of friends had he made?

　　And the thought that he had given McGrady his phone made Su Feng even more annoyed.

　　Su Feng could understand Kobe hanging up on him.

　　But why did McGrady hang up on him?

　　Su Feng was very angry, so he dialed McGrady's number again, "Hey, Tracy..."

　　However, before Su Feng could speak, a deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, this is Vince, Tracy's cousin. Tracy is busy and not at home right now."

　　Su Feng: "..."

　　"Speak properly, Tracy!"

　　With McGrady's voice, how could he possibly pass as Carter?

　　Su Feng saw through McGrady's little trick at a glance.

　　"Okay, congratulations, Su. I watched the live broadcast. You played really well tonight," McGrady said with a wry smile on the phone.

　　Feeling much happier, Su Feng continued, "Did you see that dunk over Dennis Rodman?"

　　McGrady paused for a few seconds on the phone. "How about I find a more professional person to give you some feedback?"

　　Su Feng was stunned, and then another voice suddenly came from the phone, "Pretty average!

　　Failing to dunk the ball in, in my opinion, doesn't count as a dunk. But being able to make a play like that should be his limit, right?"

　　Su Feng: "..."

　　Damn it!

　　As a walking "Vince Carter Encyclopedia," Su Feng knew at once that the tone of voice and the way of speaking that was destined to make him friendless could only belong to Vince Carter.

　　"Are you really with your cousin?" Su Feng asked curiously.

　　"Otherwise? This game was broadcast nationally. Vince asked me out a long time ago," McGrady said with a smile.

　　Su Feng took a deep breath. "I scored 28 points against Michael Jordan tonight."

　　McGrady nodded. "But you also missed 13 shots."

　　Su Feng said indignantly, "Michael missed 19!"

　　"Okay, you were really good tonight, but Vince said Allen Iverson was the key to your win," McGrady added.

　　Damn it!

　　Without my efforts behind the scenes, how could the 76ers have beaten the Bulls?

　　At that moment, Su Feng realized that his friendship with Iverson was the real, unbreakable friendship!

　　After not hearing any movement on the phone for a long time, McGrady, thinking that Su Feng was really angry, quickly said, "Su, you're not angry, are you? I was just kidding with you."

　　In fact, after watching the game, McGrady felt that he could no longer suppress the urge to play in the NBA.

　　McGrady could swear on his report card that he didn't want to play in the NBA because of his bad grades.

　　Su Feng was too amazing.

　　Although he was suppressed by Jordan in every aspect, he kept fighting Jordan in his own way.

　　While watching the game tonight, McGrady's thoughts were also pulled back to the summer of 1995.

　　Back then in Orlando, he always felt that he could win against Su Feng, but most of the time, Su Feng was the one who laughed last.

　　Therefore, whenever his cousin showed a "disdainful" attitude toward Su Feng's dunk, McGrady was very happy because he saw the shining points in Su Feng.

　　That dunk, facing Rodman, how many people would have the courage to face the difficulties head-on?

　　And how many people could make such a quick decision at the moment of losing their balance?

　　McGrady, who had trained with Su Feng, knew that Su Feng's current speed was all trained the day after tomorrow, so in this respect, it made McGrady feel that Su Feng was an amazing person.

　　McGrady was curious whether he could be as calm as Su Feng when he entered the NBA.

　　However, McGrady couldn't say these words to Su Feng.

　　Because he also wanted to prick Su Feng's heart.

　　……

　　After hanging up with McGrady, Su Feng made another note about Carter in his notebook.

　　You know what, after talking with McGrady on the phone, Su Feng calmed down a lot.

　　Because although the 76ers had defeated the Knicks and the Bulls in a row, wake up, it was just the regular season.

　　The Raptors had also beaten the Bulls some time ago, hadn't they?

　　The 76ers were still ranked ninth in the East. If they worked hard for a season but failed to make the playoffs, Su Feng felt that he would be very upset.

　　Therefore, the victories they had achieved so far were not worth mentioning.

　　Keep working hard. Only by always maintaining a sense of awe can one laugh to the end.

　　"Hey, I misunderstood Tracy." Su Feng felt that McGrady was simply his Wei Zheng (a famous advisor in Chinese history), proving that people need a mirror to see themselves clearly.

　　Just like he always pricked Kobe's heart, Kobe should be able to understand his good intentions, right?

　　Speaking of which, the brick-laying value he got from playing against the Bulls was really exaggerated.

　　Even though there was Pi Erye (Rodman) mixed in, Su Feng still got a total of 16.05 million brick-laying value after the game!

　　And the most important thing was that after this game, Su Feng's one-on-one marking, steals, and block ability values all increased by 1 point.

　　These were ability values, not potential values!

　　Being beaten by the "Old Rogue" was just outrageous!

　　In addition, after this game, a plus sign appeared again in the system interface for Su Feng's strength attribute.

　　And that also meant that he could use brick-laying value to increase his strength potential again.

　　After spending 6 million brick-laying value to increase his strength potential to 62, Su Feng happily opened the reward for the first stage of the [Challenge Michael Jordan] mission.

　　The reward for the first stage of this mission was 10 million brick-laying value and a Golden Epic Gift Pack.

　　In other words, Su Feng actually got more than 20 million brick-laying value in this game against the Bulls, which was about 1 billion if rounded up.

　　There were three rewards in the Golden Epic Gift Pack: 30 bottles of Supreme Nutrient Solution, a Special Skill Draw Card, and a Badge Draw Card.

　　Su Feng's Badge Draw Card failed.

　　He drew a badge called [Fortification], which was the same type of badge as [Rock Solid].

　　In the system's settings, you can only wear up to three defensive badges at the same time, but because [Fortification] was a weakened version of [Rock Solid], these two badges could not be equipped at the same time.

　　Su Feng, whose badge draw failed, immediately felt that the world didn't love handsome guys like him, but the next special skill draw made Su Feng feel the love of this world again!

　　"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the ordinary dribbling skill Crossover (LeBron James Youth Version).

　　This skill requires 90 Speed (met) and 66 Dribbling (met).

　　The effect of this skill is: Reduces the chance of being stolen by 8% when the host performs a Crossover;

　　After the host performs a Crossover, the first two steps of the breakthrough will slightly reduce the weakening of the sprinting speed brought about by holding the ball.

　　Note: This skill will not affect the host's Crossover action in reality."

　　Dribbling skill!

　　It was actually a dribbling skill that Su Feng could equip right now!

　　Although it was just an ordinary skill, Su Feng, as a LeBron fan with extremely high EQ, felt very kind when he saw James' name.

　　Like the previous skills he had obtained, this Crossover skill would not affect Su Feng's dribbling action in reality. After all, not to mention Crossover, Su Feng basically knew all the dribbling skills that you could name.

　　It was just that there were still some subtle differences when used by different people.

　　Su Feng didn't like to dribble randomly on the court now, mainly because after Iverson taught him the "Awei Eighteen Styles," his efficiency in getting past people with one step was much higher than getting past them after dribbling.

　　However, the "Awei Eighteen Styles" also had shortcomings, that was, when the opponent maintained a proper distance from him, Su Feng would not be able to make a good choice.

　　Therefore, obtaining this dribbling skill was very important to Su Feng!

　　"Reducing the weakening of sprinting speed after holding the ball to break through, if understood literally, it can also be understood as slightly increasing my holding speed, right?" Su Feng thought curiously.

　　Don't look at Su Feng's high limit sprinting speed, but he could clearly feel on the court that once he started dribbling the ball, his sprinting rhythm changed.

　　Why were Hill and Iverson's breakthroughs difficult to defend?

　　Because after the first step of dribbling and accelerating, these two people were still dribbling and accelerating in the second and third steps.

　t give you a chance to help defend or reach out.

　　Therefore, even with the hC rule, you can't limit these two people's breakthroughs.

　　However, after harvesting the Youth Version of Our Emperor's dribbling skill, Su Feng felt that the day when he truly became the Philadelphia Irving was not far away!

　　"Sure enough, the nickname 'Sweet Melon' is not as domineering as 'the.king'," Su Feng thought silently.

　　After equipping this dribbling skill, Su Feng's skill bar was finally no longer lonely with only the Free Step.

　　As for the Butterfly Step and Sam Gaud... let them continue to sleep.

　　Simple and direct is Su Feng's way of basketball!

　　And it is worth mentioning that after completing the first stage of the [Challenge Michael Jordan] mission, the second stage of this mission also appeared in front of Su Feng.

　　"Ding! [Challenge Michael Jordan]: After completing mission 1, I believe you have a clear understanding of the Chicago Bulls and the opponent you are challenging.

　　Michael Jordan is trying to dominate the NBA again at the end of his career, and as a player who never gives up, you are determined to cause him some trouble.

　　Mission 2: In the game against the Chicago Bulls (regular season/playoffs), please try to limit Michael Jordan's single-game score to less than 20 points and defeat the Chicago Bulls!

　　Reward for completing the mission: 20 million brick-laying value, a Golden Legendary Gift Pack.

　　Penalty for failing the mission: None.

　　Note: After completing this mission, mission 3 of the [Challenge Michael Jordan] mission will be automatically opened."

　　Let Jordan get a maximum of 19 points in the game against the 76ers...

　　To be reasonable, in Su Feng's view, the difficulty of this mission was no less than Coach Davis patting him on the shoulder and saying: Let's go, let's play in the Finals.

　　In the 96/97 season, if Su Feng remembered correctly, in 82 regular season games, the Old Rogue only had 7 games where he scored less than 20 points.

　　And those games were mostly because the game had already been decided without Jordan needing to take action.

　　In his previous life, there were only two teams that could prevent Jordan from getting 20 points and still beat the Bulls in the 96/97 season.

　　One was called the Detroit Pistons, and the other was called the Toronto Raptors.

　　Okay, another magical Raptors...

　　In these two games, the former was because Hill had a big explosion in that game, and the Bulls were not interested in fighting because it was close to the end of the regular season.

　　The latter was purely because the Old Rogue was completely out of shape in that game, leading people to suspect that he had gone to Las Vegas for a gamble before arriving in Toronto.

　　Su Feng knew very well that with Jordan's current hatred for the 76ers, how could the "Old Rogue" not pay attention to the 76ers?

　　Even after winning against the Bulls, Su Feng immediately prepared to stack armor for the next time they met the Bulls.

　　Without even thinking about it, Jordan would definitely come to Philadelphia with "raging anger" next time.

　　But fortunately, this mission had no time limit. In Su Feng's view, if he couldn't complete it this season, there was still a good chance of completing it next season.

　　Because next season, the "Old Rogue," who was one year older, would hold many music festival performances and miss nearly 13 shots per game.

　　In short, it was useless for Su Feng to think so much now. What he needed to worry about now was how to help this 76ers team make the playoffs.

　　"Speaking of which, isn't this a problem that the coaching staff and the management should be thinking about?" Su Feng thought silently on the plane back to Philadelphia.

　　……

　　After returning to Philadelphia with a two-game winning streak, the 76ers disbanded on the spot.

　　Because they were not playing in the Christmas game, the 76ers would have nearly 5 days off next.

　　After sleeping soundly, on the 22nd, while buying a copy of the Philadelphia Evening News that was specially touting him, Su Feng also underwent individual training under Frazier's guidance.

　　"My current ball-handling speed is 78. With the buff from Our Emperor's skill, my ball-handling speed can be increased to about 82, right?" After estimating according to Frazier's timing, Su Feng felt that he could show off his ball-handling skills after the Christmas holiday.

　　Of course... the prerequisite was not being directly stolen.

　　This skill was definitely not Su Feng's regular weapon for the time being, but it would be enough to have a miraculous effect when Su Feng was playing one-on-one at critical moments.

　　And because his strength potential had increased by two points, Su Feng, who couldn't wait to evolve 0.77 Jordan's strength to 0.81 Jordan's strength, also underwent strength training under Mancius' guidance.

　　Originally, Mancius wanted to persuade Su Feng to rest. After all, most NBA players would mainly rest except for the training arranged by the team during the regular season.

　　Of course, except for the Heat's players.

　　After all, who told their coach to be Riley?

　　Mancius already felt that Su Feng's diligence could not be described as self-consciousness, because Su Feng was simply a walking positive energy manufacturing machine.

　　And every time he saw Su Feng training, Mancius, Frazier, Alan Stein and others couldn't help but feel that their youth had begun to burn again.

　　"A player like Su can't fail, right?" Mancius thought with emotion.

　　Speaking of which, while Su Feng continued to bury his head in hard training, Kobe in Los Angeles regretted that he shouldn't have hung up on Su Feng yesterday.

　　Because unlike the 76ers, the Lakers were going to play in the Christmas game this year.

　　Coach Harris had promised him that he would give himself about 15 minutes of playing time in the Christmas game. In Kobe's view, being able to play in the Christmas game was an honor, so he really wanted to share his happiness with Su Feng.

　　It was just...

　　"Su is too stingy. He's not answering the phone again." After being speechless for two seconds, Kobe dialed McGrady's number.

　　To be reasonable, McGrady felt desperate when he received Kobe's call.

　　Because Su Feng had just shared his happiness with him yesterday, and now Kobe was coming again?

　　While listening to Kobe introducing the NBA to him with a beaming face, McGrady hated that Carter was not by his side today.

　　Otherwise, he would have to let Kobe see Carter's unique skill.

　　"Tracy, you don't know how intense the NBA is..."

　　In order to stop Kobe from continuing to share his happiness with him, McGrady thought for a while and said to Kobe, "By the way, Kobe, do you know that Su scored 28 points against Michael yesterday!"

　　"Su is too awesome. He's clearly just a high school student, but he can score so many points under Michael's defense."

　　"Do you know that Michael missed a total of 19 shots under his defense!"

　　"Oh right, did you definitely see that dunk over Dennis Rodman?

　　Seriously, if Su participates in the dunk contest, I feel that he will definitely be the champion!"

　　"Oh right, I'm going to enter the draft next year too. In my opinion, Su is simply the idol of all our high school players!"

　　In 35 seconds, McGrady's speed of speech was like a machine gun, completely shattering Kobe's heart!

　　McGrady used Su Feng to smash Kobe's entire set of emoticons!

　　Kobe didn't want to chat with McGrady anymore.

　　Because he never expected that he, who originally wanted to share his happiness with McGrady, would be made happy by McGrady instead.

　　Kobe vowed silently that when McGrady entered the NBA next season, he, who had become a Lakers' main player, would definitely cross his arms in front of McGrady and say to him: Oh, you damn little substitute.

　　Well, that is, Su Feng couldn't hear Kobe's inner voice...

　　Otherwise, Su Feng would definitely tell Kobe:

　　Don't make trouble. Although you are doing a little better in this life with my help, but next season, barring any accidents, you and McGrady will both be small substitutes...
