Chapter 1 He Thought Too Much

Although in his previous life, he had been a keyboard warrior who had criticized countless dynasties, when the NBA was really in front of him, Su Feng thought he would be nervous, apprehensive, and restless...

However, on September 5th, when Su Feng walked into the 76ers' training gym, he realized he had thought too much.

There was no nervousness, no apprehension, and certainly no restlessness.

As the 76ers players gradually gathered, Su Feng, like a country bumpkin who had struck gold, scrutinized this group of “sheep” waiting to be slaughtered...

Oh, these damned tools!

Why were their potential iron-smelting values so low?

As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Su Feng had clearly forgotten what kind of demons and monsters had been training with him this past summer...

In the summer, before they parted ways, Kobe's ability to provide iron-smelting value had risen to 4700 points.

Ben Wallace, on the other hand, had risen to 3500 points.

As for AI, it was as high as 7000 points...

This setting for tools that could grow, to say nothing else, Su Feng just wanted to give this system two words:

Generous!

It's worth mentioning that when the Iron Triangle walked into the training gym, they undoubtedly became the most eye-catching guys in the entire gym.

After Coleman was traded for Su Feng, the 76ers also made some minor adjustments to their lineup in the summer.

Overall, in Su Feng's view, the current 76ers perfectly met all the requirements of a terrible team.

Yeah...

Su Feng was very satisfied.

...

After the 76ers players arrived at the training gym one after another, head coach John Davis led his two assistant coaches to have the players introduce themselves first.

After all, compared to last season, the 76ers' roster had undergone significant changes this season.

During the self-introductions, Su Feng noticed two people.

One was Clarence Weatherspoon, who claimed to be 201 centimeters tall, but was actually a little shorter than Su Feng in shoes, and had elbows no less impressive than Wallace's;

The other was Stackhouse, who had been staring at him ever since he walked in the door.

As the 9th overall pick in the '92 draft, Weatherspoon, nicknamed "The Spoon," averaged 16.7 points and 9.7 rebounds last season, and was an athletic, stocky power forward.

Su Feng remembered him because this guy had been Yao Ming's teammate in his previous life and was a member of the Mosaic old guard.

As for Stackhouse, he was the village chief when Su Feng and Kobe were still in the "newbie village," and the experience points they had acquired by defeating him twice.

"Huh, Jerry's one-on-one iron-smelting value has risen to 5800 points?"

Su Feng was amazed. He never expected that his classmate Stackhouse would understand him so well.

In Su Feng's view, Stackhouse must have been preparing to be "named" by him, so he had been working hard in the summer.

Perfect logic!

Unassailable!

Therefore, when he saw the not-so-friendly look in Stackhouse's eyes, Su Feng felt that maybe it wasn't such a big deal that Kobe wasn't around.

Su Feng decided that if he had the chance later, he would name Stackhouse and develop him into his number one tool during the season.

Although AI's iron-smelting value was tempting, Iverson's defense was simply too bad.

As for Big Ben, Su Feng still had to wait for him to level up and build up his reputation.

Because the iron-smelting value given by the system was based on a comprehensive consideration.

On the court, because today was not a media open day, Davis decided to have the players undergo a physical test first, and then arrange the next stage of the training plan.

In fact, most of the time, during preseason training camp, the coaches' main job was to help some undisciplined players lose weight.

For example, Barkley, who was currently panting heavily on the treadmill in Houston.

"Su, it looks like you've been working hard this summer."

Looking at Su Feng's muscular physique, assistant coach Jason, who was preparing to arrange Su Feng's physical test, smiled.

As the saying goes, you can't imagine the happiness of rich people in capitalism...

Su Feng simply used his happiness in the training gym, with trainers, and basketball training.

Damn it, that damned wealth!

A dozen minutes later...

"Oh, no!"

"My God!"

"This is real, this is real!"

After Su Feng's physical test began, the 76ers' coaches all pulled out a capital question mark...

And many children of this question mark.

Although there were players who further explored their physical potential after entering the NBA...

But Su Feng, his strength, speed...

Especially the speed test, simply stunned everyone.

"What's so strange about that?

Su was originally a sprinting genius. The coach who tutored his sprinting training even said that if he didn't play basketball, he could definitely break the world record for the 100 meters."

Iverson spread his hands and "looked down" at everyone with a kingly attitude.

Because he had been watching Su Feng improve every day during the summer vacation, in Iverson's view, Su Feng's progress had become a matter of course.

Ben Wallace was the same. Looking at the group of silly coaches, Big Ben suddenly felt that maybe he wasn't so stupid after all...

Overall, Su Feng's no-ball movement speed of 89 and his maximum sprint speed of 93 were quite outstanding, even in the NBA.

After watching Su Feng's speed and strength tests, Stackhouse's eyes had widened.

This...

This is impossible!

I, a dignified lottery pick in '95, Jordan's junior...

This must be an illusion!

"Heh..."

After the physical test, Su Feng had become a positive example for the 76ers' coaching staff.

Look, this is what someone who works hard in the summer looks like.

Look at your big bellies, are you embarrassed to call yourselves NBA players?

Listening to John Davis's lectures to the other players, Su Feng felt that he was doomed...

Sure enough, there was a reason why Davis only served as a scapegoat for one season in his previous life.

This guy had clearly only learned half of "Emotional Intelligence" and "Positioning"!

Su Feng noticed that even Weatherspoon's gaze towards him had become unfriendly after Davis finished lecturing.

At this moment, Iverson had already stood behind Su Feng.

"Don't panic, those rookie hazing rituals don't work on us." Iverson patted Su Feng on the back.

"..."

Alright, since you've already offended most of the league for me, would I still care about these people?

Let the gunfire come more fiercely! See that? Aim here, and hit me until I die!

If I take half a step back, I'm not Iron Man!

Generally, most of the time...

It's not a good thing for newcomers to be too "arrogant."

But Su Feng found that for him, this kind of forced "arrogance" was actually an opportunity.

Because at least, it saved him from having to trash talk.

Just like that, Su Feng's pleasant preseason training camp life began...

...

Los Angeles, after finishing the Lakers' first day of preseason training, Kobe went straight to bed as soon as he got home.

In his dream, Kobe once again dreamed of himself wearing the Lakers' number 8 jersey, dunking over Su Feng's head.

"Hehehe..."

Just as Kobe was having the sweetest part of his dream, he was suddenly awakened by his cell phone.

"Damn it!"

Kobe cursed a few American swear words in his mind, and then answered the phone in a daze.

"Hey, Kobe, go buy us some beer and bring it here..."

"..."

Well, no one can escape the traditional talent of NBA veterans bullying rookies.

Although Kobe complained a few times in his heart, he knew that if he refused these veteran players today, he would likely be isolated next.

It was normal for rookies to run errands for veteran players in the NBA. Usually, as long as it wasn't too excessive, rookies wouldn't refuse.

So, Kobe put on his clothes and drove out.

However, Kobe, who wasn't very familiar with Los Angeles yet, was stuck when he arrived at a store...

Because the clerk told him that this store only delivered.

However, in addition to being frustrated, Kobe suddenly had an idea...

"I'm a player for the Los Angeles Lakers." As he said that, Kobe took out his driver's license.

Although Kobe was only a rookie at this time, the clerk at this store was obviously a Lakers fan.

Because through the glass window, Kobe saw that he was wearing the Lakers' number 32 jersey...

"Then what are you still standing there for? Come in quickly!" The clerk excitedly opened the door for Kobe.

Kobe was amused, thinking that he was worthy of himself.

"If Su was teased by the veterans, he probably wouldn't be able to come up with a way to use this method, right?" Kobe happily smiled.

Yeah...

Yeah.

Unfortunately, Su Feng didn't know what Kobe was thinking at this time, otherwise Su Feng would definitely tell him: I'm really not that resourceful.

Because...

You might not believe it if I said it, but Su Feng didn't have the opportunity to show off his wit.

On the second day of the 76ers' preseason training camp, Ben Wallace shocked the audience during a half-court three-on-three game.

His big elbows and the way he roared at the sky after every rebound intimidated some of the veterans who originally wanted to tease Su Feng...

Because this man, who looked like he could kill an ox with one punch...

Was actually as obedient as a cat in front of Su Feng?

And most importantly, after Weatherspoon and Ben had a confrontation for position, Weatherspoon looked at Ben and sighed, "How did you train those muscles?"

Ben scratched his head and grinned, "When I was in high school, I was ignorant and had a fight with Brother Charles. After that, he taught me how to properly train my strength."

Weatherspoon curiously asked, "Which Charles?"

Ben said seriously, "Charles Oakley."

Weatherspoon was shocked.

Charles Oakley?

That notorious villain?

You dared to fight him when you were in high school?

But looking at Ben's expression, this kid didn't look like he was lying.

And Ben also said with some disdain after seeing Weatherspoon's surprise, "What's so special about that?

Su also had a fight with Charles Barkley in Phoenix."

Weatherspoon: "???"

Alright, please forgive Ben.

Because Su Feng said that he had "worked with" Barkley, but in the eyes of the naive Ben, "worked with" meant "had a fight."

So, after glancing at Su Feng, Weatherspoon took a deep breath.

"Are young people these days so headstrong?"

Not to mention Iverson, after the Hampton case, he was already an idol in the minds of many black people.

In addition to his status as the number one pick, Weatherspoon wasn't stupid enough to ask Iverson to carry his shoes.

Originally, Weatherspoon was skeptical about the fact that Su Feng had fought Barkley.

But unfortunately...

Su Feng's current playing style can be summed up in one word: turtle!

This Middle Eastern-style breakthrough, you don't care if he makes it or not, this guy looks like a ruthless person at first glance.

Alright, it's not that the veterans in the 76ers team are spineless, it's just that with the way the Philadelphia Iron Triangle is acting, who wants to be the first bird to get shot?

In the minds of Weatherspoon and others, the man who could subdue a ruthless person like Big Ben must be a fighting expert!

"Strange, why don't they let me carry their bags and show my emotional intelligence?"

That day, Su Feng felt like he had walked onto the wrong set, because this was not quite the NBA he knew...

Actually...

Su Feng misunderstood his group of "lovely" teammates.

It's not that people don't want to exercise their veteran power, it's just that Su Feng has a strong man standing next to him all the time, and Iverson is still glancing at Su Feng from time to time...

Who dares to let him carry their bags?

To put it bluntly, the 76ers are different from the Lakers.

There are many star players on the Lakers, so Kobe naturally seems small.

But on the 76ers...

AI, who is "183" centimeters tall, is the greatest person.

Don't ask, just ask about brotherhood basketball.

Nearby, Stackhouse, who had been secretly observing, was stunned.

Damn it, you guys weren't so spineless when you had me carry your bags last year!

In Stackhouse's view, this was not the show he wanted to see.

Especially after hearing Iverson say not long ago that the team chose him as the number one pick to assist Su Feng, Stackhouse felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.

"This guy is too arrogant! I have to kill his arrogance!" Stackhouse thought indignantly.

Just as Stackhouse was thinking about how to "tease" Su Feng, he never expected that Su Feng would come to his door himself...

"Hey, Jerry, long time no see, I didn't get a chance to chat with you yesterday." Su Feng walked up to Stackhouse with a smile and said.

Stackhouse: "..."

"I remember, the last time you came to Lower Merion, you gave me and Kobe a lot of pointers on basketball skills." Su Feng continued.

Stackhouse: "..."

On the sidelines, many curious onlookers gathered around at this time.

Stackhouse immediately felt that he had lost all face, because the fact that he had been defeated by two high school students last season had become a stain on his life.

However, just as Stackhouse was gearing up to find a reason to have another one-on-one game with Su Feng to get his revenge, Su Feng took the lead and said:

"It's been a long time since I played one-on-one with you, let me see how much you've improved."

"..."
