Chapter 1 You Want War, Then I'll Give You War!

"Did you guys hear that? Kobe, Kobe seems to be declaring war on 'someone' from Neffaria!"

"Y-yes, we heard it! It's definitely true!"

"Interesting, interesting!"

On the Neffaria bench, Tony Jones and Anthony hadn't yet regained their senses.

At that moment, Su Feng slowly stood up.

The spectators in the stands not far from the Neffaria bench saw this scene and immediately erupted.

"I've heard of him, he's that 'Philadelphia Hero'!"

"Do Kobe and he know each other?"

"Looks like they do, and look at Kobe's eyes!"

On the court, seeing Su Feng stand up, Kobe's lips curled slightly. "Come on, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Although listening to Kobe's words, Su Feng always felt something was strange, but...

If you want war, then I'll give you war!

The friendship between men is mostly forged through fighting.

Su Feng and Kobe were no exception.

"Coach, let me play." Su Feng calmly looked at head coach Tony Jones, who nodded almost subconsciously.

Just after Su Feng finished registering at the scorer's table, on the court, as if to let Su Feng enter the game as soon as possible, Kobe directly fouled, slapping the hand of the "unlucky guy" John.

Now, the entire basketball stadium was even more沸腾 (fèiténg – boiling over).

Because in everyone's opinion, this was originally a one-sided slaughter.

But now...

It seemed like there was a story!

e

Darnell didn't react at all.

On the court, the basketball thrown by Su Feng drew a rainbow in the air.

Bang, clang, swish—!

Although the basketball mischievously hit the rim twice, it ultimately gave face and drilled into the net.

2 to 6!

Su Feng scored the first two points of the night for Neffaria. At the same time, this was also the first official game goal of his basketball career...

Seeing Su Feng score with his signature fadeaway jumper, Kobe couldn't help but recall what had happened three months ago...

"Not bad!"

After shaking his head and smiling, Kobe ran to Su Feng's side and smiled: "Your shooting form is more standard than before, and your release speed is faster, but..."

Before Kobe could finish speaking, Su Feng interjected: "But, still not a match for the great All-American First Team high schooler Kobe Bryant, right?"

Kobe didn't speak, but raised his eyebrows triumphantly.

"But, you should know my personality." Su Feng suddenly said seriously.

"Of course." Unlike when he was facing John, Kobe also became serious.

Pa, pa, pa!

After Su Feng clapped the floor three times to remind his teammates to pay attention to defense, the entire stadium was drawn to this matchup between Su Feng and Kobe.

There was no way around it. Although Kobe didn't deliberately seek to match up with him, judging from the fearful expressions of his teammates on the court at this moment, Su Feng knew...

The heavy responsibility of defending Kobe could only be entrusted to him.

"There's something there." In the stands, Duke University scout Wesley narrowed his eyes after carefully observing Su Feng's defensive positioning and center of gravity.

As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement, while experts watch the details.

If the Raul Merion High School fans were just making a fuss at this time, then the scouts and coaching staff present all felt amazed by Su Feng.

Because, in Pennsylvania, there were few peers who even had the courage to compete against Kobe.

However, at this moment, Su Feng on the court was faintly exuding the aura of a 'professional player'.

Dong, dong, dong!

On the court, after the tool player guard Swartz dribbled the ball across the half-court line, Kobe launched his offense the moment he received the pass.

Kobe's head and body swayed with a special rhythm. At the same time, the moment he completed a crossover dribble with his right and left hands, Kobe quickly followed up with a feint to break through to the right.

This is...

A Kobe-style Crossover!

On the court, Su Feng wasn't fooled, because with his rich close combat experience with Kobe, he subconsciously guessed Kobe's feint...

It was just that Kobe clearly guessed that Su Feng would be able to guess his feint.

However, Su Feng also knew that Kobe would definitely guess that he could guess his feint.

However, the mountain is high, but there are people higher still. Just as Kobe was about to dribble the ball into Su Feng, Kobe actually pulled the ball back abruptly.

'That was close!' Kobe looked at Su Feng, thinking that he deserved to be the man who could make such great sandwiches and sports drinks, strong!

'Almost!' Su Feng looked at Kobe, thinking that he deserved to be my tool... cough, he deserved to be my idol, amazing!

"Wonderful!" In the stands, watching Kobe dribble again to prepare for the attack, Wesley felt that he had really come to the right place today.

Because American high school basketball has a 35-second shot clock, Kobe wasn't in a hurry after failing to break through just now.

On the court, the players from Neffaria and Raul Merion quietly watched Kobe and Su Feng, as if no one wanted to break this one-on-one duel...

Although the inner thoughts of the players on both teams were different, at this moment, the players on both sides inexplicably reached a consensus.

On the sidelines, Tony Jones and Anthony felt the surprise that Su Feng had brought them once again, while the Donner father and son looked at each other, their expressions quite interesting.

Dong, dong, dong!

On the court, Kobe launched another attack on Su Feng!

Although Su Feng made full use of the defensive rules this time, Kobe's breakthrough was too rogue...

Because this guy used brute force this time!

He charged in with a bomb, and with his ruthless steps, he was just like that man!

Uh, no, that man should still be a little kid at this time, right?

Clang—!

Su Feng failed to keep up with Kobe on the last step and was charged past.

Kobe was also unceremonious and completed his fourth dunk of the game.

2 to 8!

After landing, Kobe glanced at Su Feng smugly, his expression full of triumph.

"This isn't fair!" Su Feng said to Kobe.

"Huh?" Kobe spread his hands.

"You definitely can't break through me using normal methods. You must be afraid that I'll block you, so you used such a timid and cowardly breakthrough to sneak attack me." Su Feng said righteously.

Kobe: "..."

Fortunately, after spending three months together, Su Feng had adapted to Kobe's stubbornness, and Kobe had also gotten used to Su Feng, so these two were really...

"Okay, then I'll use real skill to defeat you next." Stimulated by Su Feng, the stubbornness in Kobe's bones resurfaced.

Su Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Actually, don't blame Su Feng for being a rascal, after all, why is Kobe a rogue?

In fact, by this point in the game, Su Feng had completely understood.

To put it simply, the story was that Kobe had recommended himself to his team's coach not long ago, but his team's coach thought Kobe was bragging.

Because if you think about it, in the 90s, a Chinese high school student could one-on-one with Kobe?

This sounded like a fairy tale to others.

That's why Kobe told himself earlier that he wouldn't deliberately match up with him in this game.

Because he hoped that he could beat his teammates to prove that he wasn't lying...

Hmm... Su Feng might have found it strange if this had happened to someone else, but if it happened to Kobe...

Then everything made sense.

So, after understanding everything, Su Feng felt that he couldn't let Kobe's good intentions down.

And that was why, if Kobe went berserk and even beat him up, wouldn't that deviate from Kobe's original intention?

A man, don't forget your original intention, and you'll get what you want in the end.

Since Kobe had already set up the stage for him, Su Feng was naturally...

Swish—!

On the court, Raul Merion's shooting guard Darnell was dumbfounded.

Because...

Su Feng directly shot the ball after receiving it about one meter away from the three-point line.

T-this is too...

Unreasonable!

Darnell really wanted to argue with Su Feng.

On the sidelines, Neffaria's head coach Tony Jones and assistant coach Anthony couldn't help but recall a question they had asked Su Feng before when they saw this scene.

"Su, why don't you like to shoot threes with your foot on the line?" At that time, Anthony looked at Su Feng, who loved to shoot from beyond the arc, and asked curiously.

"But... I usually practice at this spot!"

Su Feng felt very innocent, because he really wasn't trying to show off, but he knew that the shortening of the NBA three-point line was only temporary. If he wanted to make a name for himself in the future, there was no harm in getting used to the NBA three-point line earlier.

Therefore, Su Feng had always practiced his three-point shooting according to the 7.25-meter standard.

So...

Raul Merion's stadium exploded.

Because turning around, Su Feng had actually stolen the ball from Kobe!

Kobe: How can you not get your shoes wet when you walk by the river all the time?

Just...

"Hahahaha, so you have this day too?" Su Feng had stolen the ball from Kobe several times in one-on-ones before, but Kobe had obviously stolen it from him more often...

And just now, just as Kobe was doing a cool crossover dribble, Su Feng didn't know if the magic spell he had been chanting had really worked, but Kobe had actually patted the ball onto his own basketball shoe...

Then, Su Feng snatched the ball with a sneaky grab.

Hmm... this spell started with a c and ended with a t.

Kobe was stunned.

Because he seemed to have already heard all the ridicule that Su Feng was about to heap on him.

No, no, he definitely couldn't let this cheapskate mock him!

So, just as Su Feng stole the ball and rushed towards Raul Merion's half of the court, Kobe chased after him from behind.

Perhaps because he was too focused, Su Feng didn't notice Kobe behind him.

Looking at the empty Raul Merion half of the court, at this moment, Su Feng was thinking: Should I try a dunk?

Su Feng decided to give it a try, but if it didn't work, he would just put the ball in the basket and do a normal layup!

Normally, Su Feng had tested his jumping ability and could only describe it as average.

But Su Feng knew that this jumping ability was enough for him to complete a dunk.

However, just as Su Feng jumped high, Kobe, who was behind him, was stunned.

"Not good!" Kobe knew that Su Feng wanted to dunk.

But obviously, Su Feng had definitely never practiced dunking.

So... his takeoff point was a bit too far.

At this moment, Kobe decisively gave up defending Su Feng and hurried to where Su Feng was going to land.

On the court, Su Feng lost his balance in the air...

Although Su Feng put the ball into the hoop before landing, his body, guided by gravity, inevitably...

Fell into Kobe's arms.

The entire stadium was silent for three seconds.

Then, everyone applauded Kobe's behavior of protecting his opponent.

"You're too reckless, aren't you?" Kobe, who had been scared into a cold sweat, said to Su Feng.

So, even the calmest person can have a moment of madness.

Su Feng quickly conducted a self-examination.

'Can't be cocky, can't be cocky... So I shouldn't have watched Cultivation Chat Group back then. It's inexplicably making me want to do something stupid like a certain squirrel...' Su Feng thought rationally.

But then again, Su Feng didn't expect Kobe to come over and protect him.

"Thank you!" Su Feng thanked Kobe.

Kobe shook his head, "What's there to thank? I won't be polite next time."

On the court, the game continued!
