Silently Writing
Chapter 59 He Came Happily on Horseback, But Left Disappointed on Foot
While thinking this, Stackhouse searched his mind for a way to break Su Feng's defense.
After all, as the former ace of North Carolina, Stackhouse's talent was definitely worth his draft pick.
This time, Stackhouse didn't bother going around Su Feng; he just picked up the ball and began to force his way inside.
Off the court, Kobe shook his head silently at this scene.
Because no one knew better than Kobe how terrifying Su Feng's defense was.
Sure enough, on the court, Stackhouse once again felt the call from Stack.
After cutting into the paint, he actually shot the basketball straight up into the air because he used too much force...
Stackhouse: Awkward!
As the saying goes, experts watch the details, while amateurs watch the excitement. On the sidelines, 76ers assistant coach John Davis said in surprise, "If you only look at defense, Su's defense could even rank in the top three on our team."
John Lucas nodded. "He reminds me of Doug Christie.
Considering he's only 17 years old, I believe he'll definitely become an excellent defensive specialist in the future."
On the court, Stackhouse had begun to doubt his life.
This...
Have high school students become so strong these days?
Well...
If you were to compare the current Su Feng with Stackhouse, Su Feng would definitely be inferior to Stackhouse.
After all, Stackhouse is technically well-rounded, can play with or without the ball, and has outstanding physical qualities.
But, when it comes to one-on-one, does he even know who Su Feng's opponents have been in the past year and a half?
In Su Feng's previous life, it was no accident that Kobe was able to defeat Stackhouse in this one-on-one before graduation.
Because when it comes to offensive skills, Kobe, who loves to study, is now a small encyclopedia of offense. In the future, during his Lakers tryout, he impressed the Lakers with his dazzling offensive moves.
And when it comes to physical talent, Kobe isn't afraid of Stackhouse at all.
Even when it comes to defense, although Stackhouse hasn't awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan in defense, he's definitely not as good as Su Feng and Kobe.
So, here comes the question: why was Kobe stuck on the bench after entering the league in Su Feng's previous life, while Stackhouse was happily racking up points?
The reason is simple. First, Silver Fox Harris, the Lakers' head coach at the time, didn't want to force Kobe's growth, and was very cautious in using him.
Secondly, Kobe's tactical awareness was still at the high school level at the time, and it was difficult for him to cooperate with his teammates.
Finally, the Logo Man had been cultivating Kobe as a superstar from the very beginning.
He didn't want or need Kobe to change; he just needed Kobe to move forward without hesitation.
Stackhouse's growth path was obviously different from Kobe's. When he entered the league, the 76ers were a team that couldn't be any worse.
He had unlimited firepower and could score however he wanted.
Plus, with his identity as Jordan's junior and the third pick in '95, many veterans on the 76ers didn't want to offend him.
But this situation changed after the man named Allen arrived.
In the '96/'97 season, just looking at the shooting percentage, Iverson was only a tiny bit higher than Stackhouse.
But don't forget, Iverson's lightning-fast breakthroughs could attract double-teams.
So, while Stackhouse always thought Iverson should be there to assist him, the 76ers management used a trade to tell him the cruel reality:
Sorry, since you're not willing to assist Iverson, then get lost.
In short, Stackhouse is indeed a very talented player, but he picked the wrong script.
Born with the "protagonist" script, he really didn't have the fate to be the protagonist.
In Su Feng's previous life, the sixth man was the most suitable role for Stackhouse, because he could take the bench and fire at will.
Moreover, his style of play would be very efficient in the second unit.
After all, at this time, the gap between the starting lineup and the bench in each NBA team was very large, and Stackhouse would not face too much defensive intensity when playing as the sixth man.
You know, from the '90s to the beginning of the century, influenced by "Old Rogue," which team's starting lineup didn't have a defensive expert?
Combined with HC rules, you can't be a superstar without a special skill at this time.
...
On the court, after defending Stackhouse's offense three times in a row, it was Su Feng's turn to attack.
This time, Stackhouse had learned to be smart. After passing the ball to Su Feng, he immediately pounced on him.
But, did Stackhouse think that Su Feng wouldn't dare to shoot like this?
Are you kidding me!
Before this one-on-one started, Su Feng knew that he lacked offensive means at the moment, so, if he wanted to defeat Stackhouse, he would naturally need some luck.
Therefore, the shooting motion that Su Feng equipped at this time was of course 'McGrady's pull-up jumper,' which was most suitable for overcoming strength with weakness!
Swish!
This is a pull-up jumper that ignores everything!
During the summer vacation, in order to make his pull-up jumper able to ignore the opponent's defense and be able to force a shot anywhere, Su Feng specifically consulted Frazier on the issue of pull-up jumpers.
At that time, Frazier's suggestion to Su Feng was: Your current shooting posture is already very standard. If you want to be able to force a shot in higher-level games, you must shoot at a higher release point.
When shooting, keep your body straight, keep your elbow and wrist at a right angle, and even if you stop suddenly in motion and shoot, Su Feng must maintain this beautiful shooting posture.
And this is the handsomeness that handsomeness' mother opens the door for, the handsomeness to the extreme ignoring of strong shots!
Su Feng is very clear that in the current environment with HC rules, it is useless to blindly pursue hand speed.
And don't think that the shooting posture of future elementary school students can be practiced by anyone.
To be honest, if Curry's shooting motion was so easy to practice, then everyone in the NBA would be Curry.
As a Kobe fan, Su Feng liked to imitate Kobe's playing style in his previous life, so this also allowed him to develop a beautiful shooting motion.
Su Feng is used to pull-up jumpers, and in this life, he is tall and has long arms, so there is no need to give up his advantages.
Therefore, under Frazier's guidance, Su Feng is now going further and further down the road of ignoring strong shots.
After all, this is the era, if you can't even make a shot, how can you brick it...
You can't shout "Old iron!" to the other side in Chinese, right?
But it is worth mentioning that, although the shooting motion equipped in the system will not change Su Feng's shooting posture in reality...
But for some reason, every time he equips 'McGrady's pull-up jumper,' Su Feng always subconsciously wants to show off his scissor legs.
Look, if Stackhouse hadn't dodged quickly this time, he would have almost been kicked by Su Feng.
3 to 0...
Stackhouse's jaw was about to drop to the ground.
Could he really beat me?
Stackhouse, who was almost "ambushed" by Su Feng, was completely flustered at this moment.
And underestimating, carelessness, losing composure...
How could such a Stackhouse not be defeated by the calm, composed, and resourceful...
Most importantly, handsome Su Feng?
...
10 to 8!
Although the "bootleg Iron Man" Stackhouse, whose name contains Stark, and Su Feng, whose name does not contain Stark but is the "real Iron Man," "respect the morning sun with iron and the moonlight with iron" in the ensuing one-on-one game...
But with his tenacious and resilient defense, Su Feng had the last laugh!
The three-man squad didn't know how to evaluate Su Feng anymore.
Su Junyang kept shaking Director Zhang. "Director Zhang, Director Zhang, Xiao Su beat an NBA player, did you see it, did you see it?"
Director Zhang, who felt a little dizzy, said, "I saw it, I saw it, Old Su, stop shaking, I feel like throwing up..."
"The Yangtze River's back waves push the front waves, Xiao Su really opened our eyes today," Xu Jicheng said with a smile.
The Lower Merion school basketball gym instantly boiled.
Oh my God!
Su Feng actually beat Stackhouse!
At this moment, the workers of Lower Merion suddenly felt that everything they had suffered in the past was fair, it was all a gift from heaven!
"Su, do you want to take a sip? It's still hot! By the way," Swartz excitedly handed Su Feng the thermos cup with wolfberry tea.
"Thank you." Su Feng took the thermos cup with a calm expression and took a small sip.
Too handsome!
Too cool!
Not arrogant in victory, not discouraged in defeat, even if he beat an NBA player, he was not carried away, truly worthy of being Su!
Swartz felt that at this moment, Su Feng in his eyes was so simple and handsome.
...
Back to the court, Stackhouse was going crazy...
Who am I, where am I, what the f—
"Okay, I'm not doubting you.
I just want to see how they beat Jerry Stackhouse.
After all, that's Michael's junior, this year's third pick..." Jerry West said.
"By the way, does anyone else know about this news?" After thinking for a while, Jerry West asked.
"No, besides the 76ers, I can guarantee that only we know!" the scout replied.
"Well, good job, remember, never expose your identity, because I don't want anyone to know that we are scouting Kobe, remember, anyone!"
"I understand, chief!" Soon, the scout hung up the phone.
"The Philadelphia Twin Stars?"
Looking at a copy of the Philadelphia Evening News on his desk, Jerry West silently turned it to the sports section, and then continued to read it with relish...
