Philadelphia 76ers?

For some reason, after learning the "truth" from Bill Duffy, Su Feng calmed down quickly.

Although Su Feng didn't know what the 76ers used to trade with the Hornets, if he really went to the 76ers...

In 1996, a lottery pick at No. 13, a Philadelphia hero, "tricked" away by the Philadelphia 76ers...

Hiss!

So, the idea is to walk the path Kobe wanted to walk the most, making his own cheat system envious, jealous, and hateful?

In Su Feng's previous life, as the son of Philadelphia, Kobe's biggest regret, in the eyes of many, besides the OK breakup, was missing the 76ers in 1996.

There was no way. Su Feng knew that no matter how many times history repeated itself, the best answer for Philadelphia in '96 was Allen Iverson, and Kobe would definitely be "tricked" away by Logo Man...

Look, even though Kobe's draft stock rose due to his appearance in this life, wasn't he still "tricked" to Los Angeles by Logo Man as if by magic?

Fate is just that wonderful.

But then again, in Su Feng's previous speculation of "Which of the 29 NBA Teams Would Be Most Suitable for Me to Level Up If I Were Drafted in 1996," the Philadelphia 76ers were at the top of the list.

First of all, since the 76ers dared to gamble on him with the 13th pick in '96, according to Su Feng's understanding as a "human encyclopedia of the Four Shooting Guards"...

The 76ers' management must have sought the opinion of head coach John Davis.

Because the 76ers' management in 1996 could no longer be described as cautious; you could even say they were playing it safe.

Perhaps because of the painful lessons of the past, Pat Croce had already decided on Iverson, but in the end, he still had to run to the coaching staff and let them make the final decision.

In simple terms, John Davis was the Benzema of the 76ers during this period.

Therefore, to sum up, Su Feng at least didn't have to worry about his rookie season leveling up.

Why is that?

Because John Davis was definitely the gospel for all rookies who liked to shoot wildly during this period.

In Su Feng's previous life, Stackhouse and Iverson could both throw more than 10 three-pointers per game.

Although this was related to the NBA shortening the three-point line during this period, wake up, this was the '90s!

If it weren't for John Davis's "acquiescence," would AI and Stackhouse dare to shoot like that?

Davis was a coach who knew his "position" as a tool, willing to give rookies opportunities.

In Su Feng's previous life, although the 76ers would be taken over by Larry Brown in the '97/'98 season, at least Su Feng could save a lot of trouble in his rookie season.

And did Su Feng need to worry about Larry Brown?

You know, first-round picks during this period had a three-year contract. Even if he "couldn't afford to offend" him at that time, couldn't Su Feng start his own business?

It's not to prick many people's hearts, although many fans yearn for one person, one city, but in the NBA, one person is okay, but one city...

It depends on which city you're in.

The NBA is originally a commercial league. Do you expect all the owners in this league to be Cubans?

And every power holder to be the Buss family?

Don't you see, even Michael Jordan isn't just Bulls Jordan; there's also Wizards Jordan?

Don't you see, Ewing spent his whole life in tragedy, but in the end, he was ridiculed by self-righteous New Yorkers to the point of going to the top of the Empire State Building to masturbate in anger?

Don't you see, there's a shark being thrown into the Pacific Ocean by the Magic management right now, letting him swim freely to Los Angeles?

Su Feng didn't have a saint's heart. He knew these NBA teams too well. If he didn't meet the right people, even if he was successful, he would only be a "commodity" in their eyes.

Besides, why be an American city hero? Isn't it good enough to be a little bunny of the Zhonghua family? (Referring to China)

Holding the system, getting into the NBA, becoming a basketball star, marrying a rich and beautiful woman, Su Feng's dreams and motivations were that simple.

In the future, many people will say that not being one person, one city will affect historical status, but the question is, have the historical statuses of Lao Li氓 (Old Rogue - referring to Jordan), O'Neal, Olajuwon, and Chamberlain been affected by this?

As long as your results are hard enough, even if your character is like Jordan, you are still the God of Basketball.

Work for these "evil" NBA capitalists for a lifetime?

That's impossible.

In his own plan, Su Feng had already made preparations.

In the future, school district houses in Los Angeles could be considered. When he made a name for himself, he could also consider using one-year contracts to control the management...

But in this era when the relationship between labor and management was still very tense, even if you could cry like that man, at most, you would only end up like Ewing.

So, one person, one city, rather a city betray me than I betray a city... Cheer for others and respect those who can do it. Su Feng didn't plan to be a good person.

After all, in this era, a good person has no way to survive!

Quickly accumulate revolutionary capital and be ready to usurp the throne at any time. That was Su Feng's plan for the early stage of his career.

Moreover, it should be known that Su Feng currently had a very good mass base in Philadelphia.

In the '90s, the Chinese market hadn't fully opened yet. Su Feng couldn't expect to be invincible just because he had a red flag in his chest, right?

At least, that was impossible at the moment.

Therefore, Su Feng, who already had a certain popularity in Philadelphia, didn't need to worry about being ostracized or ridiculed by fans.

To put it bluntly, if Su Feng really performed well, and the 76ers didn't let him play, the Philadelphia fans would probably be the first to get anxious with the management.

In Su Feng's previous life, even if someone could do without the Chinese market, would he dare to do without the local market?

Wake up, even if Su Feng was just a mascot to attract box office revenue, Su Feng believed that the opportunities he could get would be more than going to other teams.

Finally, although he didn't know why AI passed the ball to him during the tryout...

But in Su Feng's view, if Iverson really had a good impression of him, even if he didn't know where that good impression came from, the probability of Su Feng developing Iverson into his No. 3 cheat was already as high as 90%.

Um...

Based on AI's vision for making friends, Su Feng believed that this guy was truly approachable.

Although Iverson couldn't be as lasting as his long-term cheat, Kobe, that didn't matter. Don't forget, there was another target in the 76ers that Su Feng could develop.

Jerry Stackhouse.

Without saying anything else, based on his hatred of Su Feng, as long as Su Feng shouted his name, would he not agree?

With these two major tools, plus stable playing time and shot attempts, Su Feng felt that his rookie season's leveling environment couldn't be better.

In short, a team with no requirements for record, a head coach who was optimistic about him, plus an Iverson who inexplicably had a good impression of him, and local mass support...

Don't ask, just know that I really just want to shoot bricks (miss shots).

But then again, Su Feng felt that his experiences in the past two years could be written into a novel.

This...

You might not believe it, but Kobe and Iverson are actually going to be his teammates one after another!

"Do you think there will be a chance to be teammates with Tracy and Vince in the future, collecting a Four Shooting Guard Buff or something?" Su Feng wondered curiously.

…

Just as Su Feng was thinking about his future, in the 76ers' forward operations room, Pat Croce felt relieved after selecting Su Feng.

Yesterday, before the draft began, Croce found Davis.

For no other reason than Croce had discovered that the popularity of the Philadelphia Twin Stars CP was ridiculously high in Philadelphia.

In Su Feng's previous life, Kobe alone had already made Philadelphia fans climax.

What's more, in this life, Su Feng and Kobe had joined forces to win two state championships in high school, and Su Feng had also done righteous deeds before?

Therefore, Croce wanted to seek Davis's opinion before the draft, to see if there was a way to get one of Su Feng and Kobe.

"To be honest, it's difficult for us to draft Kobe.

Based on his current draft stock, he is very likely to be selected in the top eight," Davis replied "pessimistically."

"What about Su?" Croce asked as a second choice.

"If we can really draft Su, I suggest we give it a try," Davis said.

"Why?" Croce looked at Davis curiously.

"Regarding Kobe and Su, I don't think anyone knows their styles, playstyles, and characteristics better than me and Irv.

Compared to Kobe, I think Su is more suitable for us at the moment.

Because Allen needs the ball, but if we want to cultivate Kobe, we also need to give him the ball.

You need to know, Kobe's nickname is 'Pennsylvania Magic.'

We can't cultivate him in the direction of 'Pennsylvania Pippen,' right? That would be too wasteful of his organizational talent.

And Su's playstyle is more inclined to be off-ball. You saw it during the tryout. He and Allen are very compatible, as if they have a natural understanding.

Su's defense is very good. If we want to go further in the future, in my opinion, the value of a player like him even exceeds Jerry," Davis analyzed.

"Are you talking about Jerry Stackhouse?"

As the saying goes, a new emperor brings a new court. Croce didn't like the players selected by the previous general manager very much.

"Yes, after the tryout, I specifically watched Allen's NCAA games.

But to be honest, I can't find the feeling that Allen gave me during the tryout anymore.

That feeling of combining breakthroughs and passes, breaking through whenever he wants, passing whenever he wants," Davis added.

"Okay, then what do you think, what kind of pick do we need if we want to get Su?"

Croce had made up his mind that if Su Feng could really replace Jerry Stackhouse, he would definitely not hesitate to trade away all the players with the "previous label."

"I think we can try for a pick around No. 13 in the first round," Davis said.

"So high?" Croce originally didn't think Su Feng was that expensive, but when he heard Davis's quote, he was stunned.

"A friend of mine who works for the Kings told me that the Kings are very likely to use their No. 14 pick in the first round to select Su.

So I think we have to find a way to get a higher pick."

In fact, Davis had another idea that he didn't tell Croce, that was, what if Kobe fell to the 13th pick?

Although Su Feng was very tempting, if Kobe really fell to the 13th pick, Davis would definitely not hesitate to suggest that the team select Kobe.

Okay...

So the mole was in Sacramento.

So, Croce started to think of a way.

After relying on his connections to understand the general situation of each team, he finally turned to the Charlotte Hornets.

And the chips that the 76ers sent out were former All-Star inside player, Derrick Coleman, and a second-round pick in this year's draft.

As the No. 1 pick in the 1990 draft, Coleman shouldn't have been so worthless.

But because he suffered an injury last season, the 76ers could only add a second-round pick.

It is worth mentioning that Coleman was also affected by the "Su Feng Kobe Warm Tea Slaying Si Hao Butterfly Effect."

Because originally, he would be repeatedly injured in the '95/'96 season, but in this life, after suffering an injury, he didn't rush to return...

Looking at Stackhouse, who was already "crazy," Coleman waited until March to recover from his injury before returning to play a few games, averaging 15+.

The Hornets had just lost Mourning, and they couldn't refuse the 76ers' offer.

Because there were few high-quality inside players in '96, and the Hornets, who were not lacking outside players, had been worrying about who to choose.

Now that there was a team willing to have some "py" (private deal) with them, the Hornets naturally chose to accept.

And for Croce, Coleman was also just a player left by the previous management, so he didn't feel any heartache when he sold him.

The only thing worth mentioning is that according to the original historical trajectory...

Coleman would also go to the Hornets in the future...

It had to be said that this was fate.

…

At the scene of the '96 draft, after Su Feng became the No. 13 pick in the first round of the 1996 draft, the draft continued...

When Su Feng returned to his family, Kobe was even happier than he was.

In this life, Kobe really regarded Su Feng as a brother for life.

And although Su Weiguo and Wang Yuanyuan didn't understand basketball, they were also proud of Su Feng when they saw their son being successfully selected.

"Alas, the only pity is that Charlotte is a bit small.

It seems that you have to come to Los Angeles to play with me during the offseason in the future." Looking at Su Feng wearing a Hornets hat, Kobe took the opportunity to complain.

Su Feng knew that Kobe was remembering the revenge for the time he tricked him during the interview with Da Tianchao (Great Celestial Dynasty - slang for China) TV...

Seriously—worthy of being Kobe!

"Kobe, I have two good news to tell you. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Su Feng didn't bother to argue with Kobe, because he knew that when he told Kobe the truth later, Kobe would be envious to death.

"If they're both good news, can't you just say it directly?" Kobe looked at Su Feng suspiciously.

"First of all, I can accompany you to Los Angeles to look at houses," Su Feng said to Kobe.

"Why?" Kobe asked curiously.

"Because I don't need to move, so I have plenty of time," Su Feng spread his hands and said.

Kobe: "..."

Although Kobe was simple-minded, it didn't mean he wasn't smart.

"You wouldn't?" Kobe suddenly felt a chill in his heart, like drinking iced Sprite in the middle of winter.

"Well, the 76ers have already initiated a trade.

So don't worry, the territory in Philadelphia will be mine from now on," Su Feng said with a smile, patting Kobe on the shoulder.

For some reason, joining the Los Angeles Lakers was supposed to be a very happy thing, but at this moment, Kobe couldn't be happy at all.

"Alas, don't be sad. Actually, Mr. John (Davis) told me before that in his mind, I'm still a little bit stronger than you."

Su Feng gestured with his thumb and index finger.

Kobe: "..."

Get out, b*tch, we're not friends anymore!

Kobe was very angry.

At this moment, he suddenly regretted it.

Why was he so cheap?

Why didn't he accept the interview?

Wasn't it great to be surrounded by the media?

"If you can't make it in the Lakers in the future, remember to come back and find me.

We can play 'hometown basketball' and 'brotherhood basketball' together," Su Feng joked.

"Heh, you're the one!

Su, when I become the head of the Lakers in the future, if you can't make it, you're welcome to come to Los Angeles at any time," Kobe said with a smile.

Cough...

Worthy of you!

So you've already started preparing to usurp the throne?

It had to be said that Su Feng found that Kobe and his thoughts could always coincide involuntarily.

Okay, feel sorry for someone in the future for three seconds.

But...

Honestly speaking, is it really good for young people to casually set flags when they're happy?

…

After Su Feng was drafted, the rest of the 1996 draft proceeded as Su Feng remembered it.

The Kings selected Peja at No. 14 overall.

In the absence of Su Feng, the Suns decisively took Su Feng's "sock buddy" Nash.

O'Neal, who had played with Su Feng and Kobe in the McDonald's All-American Game, was selected by the Trail Blazers at No. 17 overall.

And at No. 24 overall, the Lakers selected Fisher.

It is worth mentioning that Fisher's expression when he was selected was even more excited than winning the No. 1 pick.

Because for some reason, Fisher always felt that someone wanted to harm him recently.

The Cavaliers selected Big Z at No. 20 overall, and the Knicks selected John Wallace and Dontae' Jones, who was crushed by Kobe during the tryout.

The only one who was more miserable was Samaki Walker, who would originally be selected by the Mavericks at No. 9 overall.

Because of the Mavericks' pick change, this guy, who was also called Wo Ke (snail shell - similar to Kobe's transliterated name), fell all the way to No. 23 overall before being taken by the Nuggets.

At this point, the '96 draft came to a successful conclusion.

The Golden Generation went back to their respective homes and found their respective mothers.

In the 1996 draft, Kobe was selected by the Dallas Mavericks at No. 8 overall and subsequently traded to the Lakers.

And Su Feng was selected by the Charlotte Hornets at No. 13 overall and subsequently traded to the Philadelphia 76ers.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the [Road to Genius] mission!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a Golden Legend Gift Pack [Click to View Gift Pack Details]."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining a lifelong injury waiver!"

"Ding, it has been detected that the host's current system version is 7.0, with a total of 47 million brick-shooting points."

"Ding, the system has started to automatically upgrade!

This upgrade is expected to take 2 hours!

Please check the [Prodigy] system update content after 2 hours."

According to Bill Duffy's arrangement, after the trade was completed, Su Feng would officially sign with the 76ers after returning to Philadelphia.

And on the plane back to Philadelphia with his parents, no matter how calm Su Feng was normally, after opening the system interface...

At this moment, Su Feng just wanted to shout loudly:

"Oh, that damned harvest, it's here!" (Lei = slang for here)

…

ps: This chapter has 5000 words.

I will post a Sanjiang (three rivers - a popular online literature platform) testimonial and a summary of the plot design of the first 77 chapters and a small guess of the follow-up plot later.

Thank you to all the book friends who have supported A Qiao all along. It is you who have brought me into Sanjiang again, and I have nothing to repay. There are still 13 days left, and I am also very anxious. I can only secretly increase the length every day to explode like this.

In fact, if calculated according to the length of 2k, A Qiao is already updating 5 or 6 chapters a day.

But as the saying goes, the plot must be read slowly. A Qiao is a well-known author who never abuses the protagonist. If you know the follow-up development all at once, it will be meaningless!

In addition, in the testimonial, I will thank the book friends who have rewarded me in the past two days! Thank you, and continue to ask for recommendation tickets, collections, and rewards!
