Because this summer, the three rookies selected by the Heat were all tricked by Su Feng to Las Vegas...

Therefore, in order to gather a complete team to participate in the Summer League that will kick off in Long Beach on the 6th, Riley had to temporarily hire a few role players in the free agent market.

As a result, Riley, who was originally feeling sorry for Korver's departure, showed the world what a scumbag he was on the first day of the Summer League.

"Tell Jason to go directly to Las Vegas to find Su after the Summer League!"

Looking at the video sent back by Spoelstra from Long Beach, Riley said to the Heat's new "dog-leashing coach" on the phone.

Okay, now the question is.

As a very common name in the United States...

Who exactly is this Jason that Riley discovered in the Summer League this summer?

"Did Kapono really come to Miami to try his luck because he couldn't find a job?"

In Las Vegas, when Su Feng learned that the Heat were planning to sign Kapono with a two-year minimum salary, Su Feng felt that some things in this world were destined from the beginning.

As another "most accurate man on earth" from the '03 generation in his memory, Kapono's fame in Su Feng's previous life was even higher than some stars of the same era.

The reason is simple.

It's purely because this guy's shooting is too accurate.

In Su Feng's original timeline, Kapono's career three-point shooting percentage was as high as 43.4%.

And in his most accurate 06/07 season, he was able to make 2.5 three-pointers per game for the Heat with a three-point shooting percentage of 51.4%.

As a spot-up shooter, Kapono, who is 203cm tall, got a four-year, $24 million contract in the summer of 2007 with just this three-point shot.

You know, before the NBA's salary cap greatly increased, players who could get this level of contract could be regarded as the third or fourth option of a team.

And if Su Feng remembers correctly, in the original historical trajectory, Kapono would also come to the Heat to try his luck this summer because no one wanted him.

Because after Shaquille O'Neal went east, Riley would look around for shooters who could create space for O'Neal.

There was no other way.

Because Kapono's mobility is too slow and his defense is almost non-existent, plus he can't do anything other than spot-up three-pointers when attacking...

So even if he handed over an average of 8.1 points per game in the Bobcats in the 04/05 season, most teams would not choose to keep him after the trial.

Although in the future, after retiring, Kapono proved that he was the Jordan of the streetball court when playing streetball...

But in the NBA, this high-level competition...

No cap.

If you ordinary people really come up to play, let alone shooting, maybe just catching the ball will break your ribs.

When he was a fan, Su Feng saw the most ridiculous comment, because a guy practiced Iverson's crossover dribble so well by watching the video, so he felt that he could play in the NBA.

But to be honest...

Let alone the crossover dribble, in this non-competitive situation, in the NBA, who isn't a streetball king except Klay?

In Riley's view, Kapono's almost zero defense will not be an obstacle for him to play for the Heat.

Because his predecessor, Korver, wasn't much better than him on defense.

And in this life, what is slightly different from the previous life is that the reason why Kapono came to the Heat to try his luck is mainly because his agent told him that the Heat are the team in the league that likes to shoot three-pointers the most.

As a result, Kapono felt that what his agent said made sense.

Because the only thing he can do in the NBA...

Isn't it just shooting three-pointers?

It's just that on this day, when he learned that the Heat were really willing to offer him a two-year fully guaranteed minimum salary...

Kapono still couldn't believe his ears.

Because this summer, after being kicked out by the Bobcats, every time the trial ended, before Kapono could hand over his resume, he was often told to get lost.

"Which teams did you try out for before?" On this day, after Kapono was packaged and sent to Las Vegas by Riley, Su Feng asked with curiosity.

"Spurs, Bucks, Bulls, Clippers, Hawks..." Hearing this, Kapono answered truthfully.

Su Feng: "..."

Good lord!

These teams t

Kobe, who was going to shoot *Leap of Faith* with Su Feng this summer, arrived at the Iron House a week later than originally planned.

After the Long Beach Summer League, Yi Jianlian and Zhu Fangyu arrived here on the 15th and 16th respectively.

Because the Jazz and Mavericks both hoped to further examine Ah Lian and Little Zhu through the Summer League, Su Feng did not interfere too much.

After all, no matter how capable Su Feng is, he is only the manager and coach of the Miami Heat, not the president of the NBA.

In the Long Beach Summer League, Yi Jianlian performed well.

As the owner of the "Space" series, a new branch of "Phenomenon China," Yi Jianlian averaged 16.4 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.0 blocks in the five Summer League games he played for the Jazz.

Putting aside everything else...

In Su Feng's eyes, the way Deron Williams feeds the ball is simply a boon for these inside players who are good at pick-and-rolls.

In Long Beach, Deron not only left a world-famous painting of alley-oops with Yi Jianlian...

And in the Summer League, during one game, when Deron was directly tackled while trying to score a layup, Yi Jianlian successfully scared the opponent off with his iron fist.

In fact, as long as you know Yi Jianlian, you should know that Ah Lian is definitely not the kind of player who would just sulk and not fight back.

It's just that in his early years, due to the pressure of public opinion from the Chinese media, Yi Jianlian had been restraining his behavior on the court.

And in this life, because Su Feng warned Yi Jianlian before the start of the Summer League to beat the other party to death if he could win...

Did this "Space Yi" still care about external comments and fan opinions?

Compared to Yi Jianlian, Little Zhu's performance in Long Beach could be described as impressive.

In the team that the Mavericks participated in the Summer League with, even those old guys who had been playing in the NBA's minor leagues for many years didn't dare to provoke this guy.

"Little Zhu, you know, what I have always admired most about you?" Before the start of the Summer League, Su Feng asked Zhu Fangyu on the phone.

"What is it, Brother Feng?" Zhu Fangyu asked back, feeling a little at a loss.

"Of course, it's your fearless spirit!

I'll say the ugly things first...

If you lose face in Long Beach because you can't win a fight, then you won't have a place in the national team in the future." On the phone, Su Feng patiently guided Zhu Fangyu.

In Su Feng's previous life, what he hated most was that when Chinese media reported news about players fighting on the court, they often blamed the men's basketball team members without distinguishing right from wrong.

Especially when the Chinese men's basketball team was bullied on the court...

Before the fans could even pick up their Coke and charge forward with the players...

These "conscious" media would write articles apologizing and telling the other party that it was wrong for us to hit people, and that we would severely condemn these players' behavior of fighting.

Just like Wade said in *The Three-Body Problem*.

Losing humanity, perhaps humans will lose a lot.

But losing bestiality, humans will definitely lose everything.

As the saying goes, if people don't offend me, I won't offend them.

If people offend me, I will offend them first.

In the NBA, even today, racial discrimination still exists.

You know, if it weren't for the brutal impression that Su Feng left on the court,

If it weren't for Da Ba's Mongolian wrestling telling O'Neal that Chinese players are not easy to bully...

Then Ha Seung-jin's humble end in the Trail Blazers would be the end of other Chinese players in the NBA besides Su Feng and Yao Ming.

Humility? Low profile?

In Su Feng's view, it is indeed important to maintain a humble heart on the basketball court.

But that doesn't mean you need to be "humble" to the point of kneeling down to the other party.

Sorry...

You eagles and rabbits have been kneeling for too long, so you can just kneel yourselves.

But as an old man who has personally witnessed the rise of the rabbit family...

In recent years, because Su Feng's knees have begun to rust, he can no longer kneel down.

"I hope that my juniors can understand a truth when they enter the NBA.

That is, you are here to make a contribution.

Not to please the fans here."

Long Beach, Los Angeles.

David Lee, who was also a rookie with Zhu Fangyu, will never forget what Zhu Fangyu did when those old guys wanted him and Zhu Fangyu to carry their bags.

"I know that this is your unwritten rule here.

But I came here to play basketball and improve my skills, not to be your little brother.

If you want me to carry your bag, then at least you have to be someone.

But if you want to act old, then I think you have to ask my fist first."

In Zhu Fangyu's view, it is not a shameful thing for young people to carry bags for veteran players.

Because when he was in the national team, he also took the initiative to carry bags for Yao Ming and Brother Feng.

But these obviously want to act old and sell old, and even have a bit of racial discrimination...

Why should they let their Olympic champion carry their bags for them?

"Now you should know why I chose him in the draft, right?" On this day, after learning about these interesting things that happened to the Mavericks in Long Beach from Mike Brown, Davis said to Brown.

"But John... won't Zhu's personality be a little too impulsive?" Brown asked back.

"Impulsive?" Hearing this, Davis shook his head, and his thoughts had already been pulled back to that summer nine years ago.

That was the summer that belonged to three Philadelphia 76ers players.

"Mike, you know, among all the young players I have coached, there are three young players who have never carried bags for their predecessors in their rookie seasons," Davis said with a smile.

"Who are the three?" Brown asked curiously.

"Ben, Allen, and Su."

Brown: "..."

"The veterans like to tease the rookies, mainly to help them integrate into the team quickly.

But as far as I know, during the Summer League, those players didn't want to help Zhu and David integrate into the team, so they bullied them, right?" Davis asked.

Brown nodded and said, "That's true.

As far as I know, it's mainly because John Wallace believes that Zhu was able to play in the NBA because of Su's light, so he instigated other teammates to fight against Zhu in normal training and games."

"That's it.

Since other people's fists are already on your face, then don't you choose to fight back?" Davis asked.

At this moment, looking at Davis, Brown fell silent.

"Times have changed, Mike.

I discovered it during those years I worked with Su.

We have too many stereotypes about China and the Chinese people.

They are not those Asians who live in the United States.

They are wolves from the East." After sighing, Davis said.

From the 1997/1998 season when Hu Weidong became the first Chinese player to win an NBA championship, to the 2004/2005 season when Su Feng won his fourth NBA championship...

Eight consecutive seasons.

No matter how the world changes.

No matter how the dynasty changes.

The team that finally wins the championship has at least one player from China in its team.

And it is based on everything that has happened in this life...

That is why the young Chinese players in Su Feng's time and space have a different confidence in the sport of basketball.

What Chinese basketball needs is never just one Su Feng, or one Yao Ming.

But thousands of young people who dare to challenge the strong.

Las Vegas.

When the crew of *Leap of Faith* officially entered the Iron House.

Looking at the king standing in the center of the court, who could command the heroes with a single order...

At this moment, there is no mysterious East, and there are no stereotypes.

What there is...

There is only the pressure from the king.

"I still say that...

This movie is you coming to me for cooperation, not me wanting to find you for cooperation.

So during training, I don't want to hear you pointing fingers at me and my friends.

Since this is my territory.

Then I will have the final say!"
