“Hey, Kobe, your dunk tonight was awesome.”

Wesley walked towards Su Feng and Kobe, giving Kobe a thumbs up.

“Long time no see, Steve. I didn't even notice you today.” After bumping chests with Wesley, Kobe said.

Su Feng could tell that Wesley and Kobe were old acquaintances.

“Haha, you didn’t notice me because your attention was all on the court. I’ve always said that your focus on basketball is what I admire most.” Wesley “licked” him.

It had to be said that although Su Feng didn't know Wesley yet, this person was indeed a wonderful person.

"By the way, Su, let me introduce you. This is Steve Wesley, a scout from Duke University. He started watching me play when I was in tenth grade.”

Kobe patted Su Feng on the shoulder and introduced him.

Su Feng nodded, thinking, 'So he is a scout from Duke University.'

"Hello, my name is Su Feng, you can call me Su." Su Feng took the initiative to extend his hand to Wesley.

Wesley smiled and shook hands with Su Feng, then said, "Shu? Haha, although I didn't know you before, your performance today has made me remember you completely.”

Shu, uncle?

Su Feng almost spat out a mouthful of salt soda, but these details... don't need to be taken too seriously.

“Were you playing in Lower Merion before? Why haven’t I heard of you before?” Wesley, as expected of a scout, didn’t stray from his profession in three sentences and immediately began to inquire about Su Feng’s situation.

As a result, before Su Feng could introduce himself, Kobe started bragging about him.

“So, you discovered your basketball talent because you trained with Kobe for a summer?” Wesley said, looking at Su Feng.

Su Feng nodded.

“That’s great. In that case, I’ll have another player to watch in Pennsylvania in the future. Here, this is my card. When choosing a university in the future, you are welcome to give priority to Duke.” Wesley said with a smile to Su Feng.

Duke University...

Su Feng seemed to suddenly remember something.

‘If I remember correctly, Kobe mentioned in his autobiography that if he hadn't skipped college, he would have chosen Duke first?’

Looking at the enthusiastic Wesley, Su Feng thought, could it be that Kobe's affection for Duke was because of this ultimate licking monster named Wesley?

Cough cough... In any case, Su Feng felt that his basketball journey had become smoother after meeting Kobe.

After all... being noticed by a famous school like Duke, if he hadn't met Kobe, he would have had to beat everyone in Pennsylvania to have a chance.

But then again, if Su Feng remembered correctly, the man Kobe most wanted to defeat in high school in the future...

Vince Carter chose North Carolina in the end?

North Carolina, Duke...

Hiss~!

Su Feng accepted the business card that Wesley handed him. Wesley was obviously a very professional scout, because he didn't reveal any more information to Su Feng.

For Wesley, he was just a scout, only responsible for providing suggestions to the school, so he couldn't promise Su Feng too much.

So Wesley knew very well that all he needed to do was discover geniuses and then form good relationships with them.

……

After Wesley left, Kobe patted Su Feng on the shoulder and said, “Don’t take Steve’s words too seriously. Duke... is not that easy to get into.”

Su Feng knew that Kobe was afraid that he would get carried away, so he smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not that stupid.”

Kobe smiled. “Go meet Greg first. I’m telling you, if you reject Greg, then you have to be prepared to be crushed by me in the next season.”

After a pause, as if feeling that the threat wasn't strong enough, Kobe added: "Today, I only used 50% of my strength."

Su Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry because of Kobe...

Big brother, are you forcing me to play brotherly basketball with you?

Su Feng nodded. After making a promise to Kobe, he left Lower Merion with the team on the bus.

It is worth mentioning that on the way back, Tony Jones and Anthony kept staring at Su Feng...

‘Am I that good-looking? Why do I feel like everyone’s eyes are on me?’ Su Feng thought.

Perhaps, I was born to be the protagonist? Is this the so-called protagonist halo?

Well, Su Feng was obviously thinking too much again.

After the bus returned to Lower Merion and the team disbanded, Tony Jones and Anthony pulled Su Feng aside and asked, “Su, tell us... Lower Merion has already invited you, right?”

Su Feng nodded without denying it.

Tony Jones's expression suddenly became nervous. “Then... how did you respond to them?”

Su Feng said honestly, “I haven’t responded yet, because we agreed to meet and chat later.”

Hearing this, Anthony pushed Tony Jones away. “Su, tell me, what are you going to say to them later?”

Su Feng spread his hands. “Of course, I’m going to join them!”

For some reason, although they knew this was the answer, at this moment, Tony Jones and Anthony seemed to see snowflakes falling in front of their eyes, and then the north wind howled...

Looking at the devastated Tony Jones and Anthony, Su Feng simply explained why he wanted to join Lower Merion.

In Su Feng's opinion, there was no need for him to deceive Tony Jones and Anthony, because in Su Feng's eyes, they were both good people.

However, basketball is so cruel.

If Su Feng gave up Lower Merion’s invitation for the sake of these few days of friendship and chose to stay in Lower Merion, that would be irresponsible to himself and others.

Don’t forget, Su Feng’s goal is the NBA.

Do you really think it’s that easy to get into the NBA?

Wake up, how many professional players are there in the world, but how many people can finally stand on the NBA stage?

There are countless geniuses in American basketball, and Su Feng is just beginning to show his potential.

He has no right to choose.

Su Feng knows his current position very well.

Because only in Lower Merion can he get more attention, and only in Lower Merion can he accelerate his progress.

Su Feng is not a saint, so Su Feng never thought of hiding it from Tony Jones and Anthony from the beginning.

Telling the truth is Su Feng’s way of basketball.

Sure enough, after hearing Su Feng’s explanation, Tony Jones and Anthony were relieved.

However, Tony Jones still couldn’t believe it.

Because... that’s the NBA!

But after seeing Su Feng’s calm eyes, for some reason, Tony Jones always felt...

Who knows, Su Feng might really be able to do it?

The first Chinese player in the NBA.

If Su Feng really did it, then he would be considered half of his enlightenment coach!

“Reality... is really incredible.” After Su Feng left, Tony Jones said with emotion.

“Let’s go, Tony. Su is a diamond in the rough. He doesn’t belong to us, because this... is American basketball!” Anthony thought with emotion.

That’s right... American basketball is so cruel.

Otherwise, why would everyone run to those few universities in the future?

……

Philadelphia Market Street, “Beasley Coffee Shop”.

According to the agreement with Greg Donner, Su Feng appeared in this coffee shop on time.

This coffee shop was not big and the location was very secluded. Kobe had taken Su Feng there once before.

“Su, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Please allow me to introduce myself again. I’m Greg Donner, the head coach of Lower Merion High School’s basketball team.” Greg extended his hand.

Su Feng shook hands with Greg. “Hello, Coach Greg, I’m Su Feng.”

After the two sat down, Greg first let Su Feng order a cup of coffee, and then Greg looked at Su Feng and said, “I think you already know some of my previous evaluations of you from Kobe...”

Greg suddenly stood up and then apologized to Su Feng, “Now, I formally apologize to you.”

Su Feng was a little confused...

Huh?

What did Kobe tell me?

However, seeing that Greg didn't seem to be planning to sit down if he didn't accept the apology, Su Feng had to bite the bullet and say, "I have already forgiven you, Coach."

Hearing Su Feng's forgiveness, Greg breathed a sigh of relief. "Then now, I formally invite you to join Lower Merion High School."

It has to be said that the biggest advantage of English is that there are not so many twists and turns. Of course, there is also less fun in the language.

Su Feng looked at Greg calmly. "Coach, can you tell me why you want to invite me?"

Greg said, "Because of your defense and shooting. In my opinion, although it was just a friendly match, I can be sure that your defense is one of the best in Pennsylvania."

Su Feng was indeed very confident in his defense...

After all, how could he not be strong if he was beaten every day?

You know, every time he thought of his exaggerated defensive talent, Su Feng felt very sorry...

“But Coach, you also know that Lower Merion already has Kobe. In Lower Merion, I have unlimited firing rights. Why should I join Lower Merion?” Su Feng said, looking at Greg.

Although he had already decided to join Lower Merion, Su Feng also knew that he had to put on a show appropriately...

Because he had already learned about the situation from Kobe, Su Feng had the upper hand in this negotiation.

The United States is not like China. In the United States, strength is respected. As long as you have strength, you can put on a show however you want.

In his previous life, even the honest Yao Ming had lost his temper in the NBA...

There was no way, as the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You can’t be humble in the United States!

Of course, the more important reason was that Su Feng knew that once he agreed to join Lower Merion, he would not be able to control himself. Therefore, before joining, Su Feng had to confirm what Lower Merion could give him.

To put it bluntly, in the American high school and college basketball world, the most important thing is a full scholarship. Whether or not you have this full scholarship is not only related to your position on the team, but also to your playing time.

It's like when we usually buy things, one item is expensive and one item is cheap. After you buy them home, you will definitely care more about the expensive item than the cheap one.

Sure enough, after hearing Su Feng’s words, Greg became even more determined to poach Su Feng.

“Of course, we will provide you with the treatment of a star player. As for the distribution of ball possession, you don’t have to worry. I have observed your playing style. Although your shooting is good, your running position...”

Don’t be surprised, Su, I’m not questioning your running position. It’s just that I feel that the coach of Lower Merion didn’t formulate any special shooter tactics for you.

After you join Lower Merion, I will formulate more shooter tactics for you, and you know, Kobe is not only an excellent offensive player, but also an excellent organizer.

At the same time, I believe, and I am sure, that you are the ‘Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen’ of Pennsylvania.

You will definitely become famous throughout the United States!"

Promises, drawing cakes, it has to be said that Greg was very attentive.

After hearing Greg’s words, Su Feng knew that he had no reason to refuse.

So, Su Feng happily agreed to the transfer to the Lower Merion.

"Happy cooperation!"

"Happy cooperation."

……

After Su Feng and Greg reached an agreement, Kobe was overjoyed when he learned that Su Feng was about to join Lower Merion.

In order to allow Su Feng to register before the start of the new season, Kobe even invited his father, Joe Bryant, to come out of retirement.

Because Joe had also been the head coach of Lower Merion High School, and he was also a former NBA player...

Su Feng’s transfer procedures and various miscellaneous procedures were completed in just a few days.

It has to be said that whether it is in China or abroad...

Whether you have connections or not, the treatment is really worlds apart.

This is fame!

On this day, after Su Feng completed the transfer procedures, Kobe smiled during a one-on-one with Kobe in the afternoon: "Su, your joining ceremony will be held next Monday. By the way, what number do you want to choose?"

Regarding the number, Su Feng didn’t have any special requirements, so he casually said number 3.

“No problem, I’ll introduce you to your teammates when you join the team. By the way, this weekend, I’ll take you to a good place to celebrate.” Kobe said with a smile, patting Su Feng on the shoulder.

Su Feng nodded and did not refuse Kobe’s kindness.

But...

For some reason, at the moment when Su Feng agreed to Kobe, his left and right eyelids began to jump together very tacitly...

“……”

It is said that the left eye brings good luck and the right eye brings bad luck, but what is it when both eyes jump together?

Su Feng looked at Kobe, who was deliberately keeping him in suspense, and always felt that something was strange...

Alright...

What will be, will be. Anyway, the answer will be revealed on the weekend.
