Thinking they were guaranteed a win, they were instead crushed 8-0 right from the start. How should one translate this situation?

Online, waiting anxiously...

As an old acquaintance of Gregg Downer, the head coach of Ridley High, Fernandez, felt like he'd been royally screwed over today.

In the '90s, information transmission technology wasn't advanced enough, which led to delays in information gathering for most people.

For example, last year, Ridley High didn't have such a hard time against Lower Merion.

"Where did that old bastard Gregg find this Asian kid?" Fernandez wondered.

Helpless, Ridley High was already at a disadvantage, so Fernandez had to call a timeout.

"Does anyone know anything about that Asian kid?" After asking his players, Fernandez felt like an idiot...

Because even he didn't know where the Asian kid came from, how could his players possibly kno...?

"Coach, his name is Su. He used to be from Naferia and just transferred to Lower Merion recently. I heard he and Kobe are good friends; they often go to school and home together," Goodman, Ridley High's point guard, said timidly, raising his hand.

Fernandez: "..."

Ahem...

Although he felt embarrassed, in order to win the game, Fernandez mustered his courage and continued, "How do you know all this?"

"My cousin goes to school at Lower Merion. He said Su and Kobe had a scoring duel in a friendly match before," Goodman said.

"What!?"

Fernandez suddenly felt like he'd obtained a very important piece of information!

A scoring duel with Kobe?

In Pennsylvania, there's talent like that?

Fernandez looked at Gregg with envy and hatred, then cursed him inwardly with an f-bomb.

"Okay, it looks like we have to re-evaluate this game.

From now on, same as always, limit Kobe first!" Fernandez said to his players.

The Ridley High players nodded in unison. "Understood!"

Tsk, worthy of being the elite troops he trained. As soon as he gave the signal, they knew what to do.

After glaring at Gregg hatefully, Fernandez said disdainfully, "So what if they have two divine beasts... I..."

Alas!

I t

What was even more important was that Su Feng had completely shocked the scouts and reporters in attendance today.

Because when he was subbed out in the fourth quarter, Su Feng had scored 39 points!

16 of 23 from the field, including 6 of 9 from three-point range, and 1 of 1 from the free-throw line...

Su Feng's efficiency stunned everyone!

However, Su Feng, who had delivered a perfect report card, seemed particularly sad when he returned to the bench...

Even his teammates, who originally wanted to congratulate him, didn't dare to approach him.

On the other side, Kobe was also deep in thought, with a worried expression...

The Lower Merion players felt like life was impossible!

Heavens!

They thought a savior had come, but they didn't expect a discerning eye instead.

Two big shots, we're leading the defending champions by 26 points!

Although it's just a friendly match, shouldn't we be a little happier?

Are you devils?

F***ing... nima!

Actually, Su Feng was misunderstood.

The reason he was sad was because...

If he shoots so accurately, what will he do in the future?

‘Although missing a shot in a high school game only gives 300 Forging Points, it's still 300 points!

If I'm this accurate for the entire season, how am I going to live?’ Su Feng thought sadly.

And Kobe was also misunderstood.

The reason Kobe was worried was that although they won smoothly tonight, he only scored a mere 14 points when he was subbed out!

And his shooting percentage was only 5 of 16, with the other 4 points coming from free throws!

'Double-teaming is annoying!

Also, my penetration skills are a bit lacking.

Before, when I was one-on-one with Su, he often blocked my penetration route.

My skills have been figured out by my opponents.

I need to think of a solution, otherwise, when I enter the NBA and encounter this kind of defense, am I just going to stare blankly?' Kobe thought worriedly.

On the bench, Swartz, who had 14 assists tonight, was very happy, but when this tool man saw that both big shots were deep in thought, he had to suppress his excitement and sat quietly to the side.

Just as the players on the Lower Merion bench were suffering...

Fortunately, Kobe took the lead in breaking the silence.

Kobe got up and sat next to Su Feng. It's worth mentioning that when he saw that Su Feng was also frowning, Kobe was very pleased...

'Worthy of being the man I have my eye on. Su must also think there's nothing to be proud of in winning this game.

With a calm helper like Su, we will definitely win the state championship this year!' Kobe thought happily.

"Su, this weekend, I'll take you to a good place," Kobe said, patting Su Feng's shoulder.

Su Feng: "..."

Huh? Where are we going this time?

Could it be that this time, he's really going to take me to "do"... it...

…

ps: One last reminder, in my book, the score is displayed with the away team first, followed by the home team.
