Chapter 1 A Minute of Shooting Practice

Su Feng's minute-long shooting speed drill shocked the entire court.

However, shooting alone couldn't prove anything.

"Su, next we'll do lateral movement training!"

After the minute-long shooting drill, assistant coach Anthony's gaze toward Su Feng was completely different from before.

"Okay!"

Lateral movement? Believe it or not, this was Su Feng's strength.

Su – Repeated Lateral Jumps – Feng.

"Fantastic, fantastic. I was worried he could only shoot before, but now I can rest assured." Looking at Su Feng's excellent performance on the court, head coach Tony Jones looked as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Such an outstanding player... shouldn't be..." Assistant coach Anthony was puzzled. Although Naifalia wasn't a strong basketball school, Anthony felt he shouldn't have missed such a talented basketball player.

And next, Anthony was even more puzzled.

Because in various training events, except for dribbling, rebounding, and confrontation being slightly weaker, Su Feng's performance could only be described as perfect!

Anthony could even assert that even in American high school basketball, Su Feng was a rare and high-quality shooter.

Unlike the NBA, as guinea pigs specializing in testing rules and cultivating talents for the NBA, American college basketball and high school basketball had a higher degree of tactical freedom...

In the 90s, many American universities began to pay attention to three-pointers, and even many teams averaged more than 30 three-point attempts per game...

Therefore, during this period, excellent shooters were very popular in high school and college basketball.

Of course, the openness of American college and high school basketball was partly due to testing tactics for the NBA, and partly due to the characteristics of young players.

You know, a genius like Kobe who jumped over college to play directly in the NBA, in high school basketball, that would be a divine beast...

And some teams without such a divine beast could only focus on rules and tactics.

This was also the so-called poverty breeds tactical innovation, wealth brings explosive power...

"Impossible, I could never have missed such an excellent shooter! Even in the NCAA, many famous schools would be vying for such a player." Anthony began to doubt his life.

Tony Jones, on the other hand, didn't think so much about these fancy things.

Because in Tony Jones's view, what was there to think about? In his opinion, he should be thinking about how to arrange Su Feng's position next, and how to make good use of Su Feng.

In short, not being in that position, he wouldn't consider that matter. Tony Jones's ideas were naturally different from Anthony's.

...

After the first training session, Su Feng was quickly surrounded by the players of the first team.

Originally, these young people who had been skeptical of Su Feng being sent to save the earth, after being refreshed of their worldviews by Su Feng, unanimously believed that Su Feng was definitely a superhero!

"Can you... transform for us to see?" As the captain, Downs walked towards Su Feng amidst everyone's expectant gazes.

Su Feng: "..."

Transform your banana lollipop!

Did you want me to shout Barara Energy as well!

"Don't worry, Su, we will definitely not tell anyone. The reason you came to play basketball must be to cover up your identity, right?" Downs looked at Su Feng with anticipation.

Heavens!

How to communicate with a group of chuunibyou (delusional) patients?

Just as Su Feng was in a dilemma, assistant coach Anthony came to his rescue.

"Su, come here for a moment." Anthony looked at Su Feng with a kind expression.

Su Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, he really wouldn't know how to deal with this group of whimsical teammates.

"Su, can you tell me, what have you been doing this summer?" Anthony asked curiously.

In Anthony's view, Su Feng must have experienced something he didn't know about this past summer, otherwise, his basketball skills couldn't have made such a qualitative leap.

"I've been practicing hard this summer." Su Feng said calmly to Anthony.

"Then can you tell me, how do you usually practice?" Anthony continued to ask.

Su Feng didn't hide anything, and soon, he told Anthony his usual training methods.

Anyway... these were all content that could be found online.

As for the story with Kobe, Su Feng didn't mention it.

After all, this wasn't recording a statement. Su Feng had no obligation, nor was it necessary to explain too clearly.

"No wonder... no wonder..." After listening to Su Feng's training methods, Anthony was silent for a while.

For basketball, it wasn't uncommon for a player's skills to improve by leaps and bounds suddenly.

For example, the current league's number one center, Hakeem Olajuwon, Da Meng only started receiving formal basketball training in college.

Now, everything made sense.

The reason why "Su Feng" was assigned to the reserve team before was probably because his height wasn't outstanding, and his talent hadn't been displayed yet.

And with his physical development and hard training this summer, his talent in shooting had gradually revealed itself.

Su Feng never expected that the problem he was most worried about before, how to get into the high school league, would be solved so easily.

After this day's training session, head coach Tony Jones announced on the spot that Su Feng would join the first team and would participate in a friendly match with Lower Merion High School with the first team.

Moreover, the team would officially register Su Feng after the start of the new season.

In order to solve Su Feng's temporary jersey number problem, Miles, the original substitute shooting guard of the school team, had to exchange jerseys with Su Feng first...

Looking at Miles' resentful face, Su Feng didn't know why, but he remembered the unlucky guy from Shohoku High School who had his jersey snatched by Sakuragi in *Slam Dunk*...

Sure enough, art comes from life.

...

After solving the school team's problems and putting down his schoolbag at home, Su Feng quickly ran to the place where he often practiced with Kobe.

"Sigh... the training intensity of high school basketball can't satisfy me at all!"

Su Feng, who was becoming more and more ruthless to himself, realized during the team training today that the training of high school basketball not only couldn't compare to his and Kobe's individual training in terms of earning Iron Points, but also couldn't satisfy him in terms of intensity.

However, if he wanted to enter the NBA, Su Feng also knew that he had to first make a name for himself in the high school league, so that the college and NBA scouts would be impressed with him.

You know, the 90s were not comparable to the future. At this time, the difficulty for him to enter the NBA was much more difficult than that of the future Great Demon King and the others.

Take Jeremy Lin as an example. Don't look at Jeremy Lin as the best of that year's guards in physical tests and training, but the experts in American basketball just looked down on you Asian guards.

In short, this was not only racial discrimination, but also discrimination from a strong basketball country.

This was like in China, when you hear that an African table tennis player is coming to play in China's table tennis league.

Therefore, Su Feng not only had to make a name for himself in the high school league, but also had to make a big name for himself.

Of course, Su Feng, who was familiar with the NBA history of this stage, also knew that his identity as a Chinese player and a yellow-skinned guard was his disadvantage, and also his advantage.

"Stern should be preparing to hold the videotape and go to the Datian Dynasty TV station now, right?" Su Feng smiled.

"What tv? You're late?" Just as Su Feng was thinking about his future, Kobe suddenly appeared in front of him with a resentful expression.

This expression, this look, was very similar to when Su Feng had a date with his ex-girlfriend in his previous life, but he was 2 hours late...

"The school team had extra training today." After handing Kobe a bottle of sports drink, Su Feng explained.

"Extra training? Then you should know who your opponent is in the friendly match, right?" Kobe asked while drinking the sports drink that Su Feng had personally prepared.

Hmm... strange, how did Su know that I like this flavor?

"I know, of course it's the famous Lower Merion High School!" Su Feng shook his head. After getting to know Kobe's personality, Su Feng knew that Kobe was asking for praise...

"Hmm?" Look, look at Kobe's smug look.

"And, the nation's number one high school student, Kobe." Su Feng added.

"Hehe, come, come, come, I discovered during training today that the fadeaway can actually be like this..."

Kobe, who was very smug after being praised, took Su Feng's hand, walked to the basket, and taught Su Feng by example.

To be honest, Kobe was worthy of being a basketball genius, because believe it or not, just listening to Kobe's explanation caused Su Feng to make a qualitative leap...

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining the hidden skill: Kobe's Turnaround Fadeaway."

Su Feng: "!!!"

What the hell!

Was this the legendary epiphany?

So, events that happen in reality not only affect one's potential value, but can also bring such benefits?

Su Feng discovered that he, who thought he had already figured out the Hash (Note 1) of this system, knew nothing about this system at all!

Actually...

Su Feng had no idea that in the system's settings, this kind of hidden skill not only required the other party's favorability, but also required the other party's verbal instruction to reach a certain level, and that he had to be able to comprehend it, among other things...

In short, it was...

The system really wanted to hammer to death this dead cheating B.

Su Feng was ecstatic.

He really wanted to hug Kobe and give him a kiss.

At this moment, Kobe, in Su Feng's eyes, was simply an inexhaustible gold mine!

"Kobe, I suddenly realized... you're simply the god of basketball in my eyes." Su Feng immediately decided that he had to increase the intensity of praising Kobe.

It was just that Su Feng's sudden praise almost made Kobe sprain his back...

Of course, Kobe didn't buy into this kind of flattery that was too over the top, "Su, are you afraid that I'll beat you up in the friendly match?"

Su Feng: "..."

Sure enough, even the most devout Kobe fan couldn't completely capture Kobe's train of thought.

But fortunately, Su Feng was smart enough, "I mean, your understanding of basketball is too high. Like me, I only know how to learn, but you can create such wonderful techniques."

Kobe nodded, obviously accepting Su Feng's explanation, "Su, don't worry, I won't deliberately match up with you in the friendly match."

"Because, I want to tell our team's coach that I didn't lie to him."

"Chinese players, as long as they work hard, can play better than American players."

"Su, don't let me down!" Kobe-Senior-Bryant looked at Su Feng seriously.

Looking at the serious Kobe, Su Feng felt...

This friendly match seemed to be more complicated than he imagined...

Because from Kobe's tone, Su Feng heard that Kobe seemed to have introduced him to his coach before?

Headache, perhaps the answer would only be revealed at the friendly match.

...

ps: Note 1 Hash: A local dialect, can refer to B number, for example, saying to the other party: Don't you have any Hash in your heart? At the same time, it can also refer to specific situations and details, for example: Su Feng discovered that he, who thought he had already figured out the Hash (Note 1) of this system, knew nothing about this system at all.
