Silently Writing

Chapter 57 Who's First?

"Okay, Jerry."

"Then let's find a day off to go together."

"Okay, Coach."

Seeing John Lucas agree to his request, Stackhouse felt an unspeakable joy in his heart.

"Some people are born to be protagonists, so no matter what they do, they will be very successful.

And I am such a person," Stackhouse thought happily.

Stackhouse had already decided that when he got to Lower Merion, he would tell John Lucas that just watching wouldn't reveal the depth of Kobe and Su Feng's abilities.

And then, hehehe...

Stackhouse would wield his forty-meter-long broadsword and hack these two "grandson of a b*tches," Su Feng and Kobe, to death!

"Well, don't abuse them too harshly, after all, they are still kids."

Although Stackhouse wasn't much older than Su Feng and Kobe, as a veteran who had already entered the NBA, Stackhouse naturally still had to pay attention to his own image.

After all, it would be very embarrassing if word got out that he was bullying high school students.

...

Stackhouse, who was already on his way, is temporarily set aside.

In Lower Merion's school gymnasium, under the joint assault of Su Feng and Kobe, Erie Catholic High School surrendered early.

In the end, the score between the two teams was 46 to 88, with Lower Merion winning by a full 42 points against last year's runner-up!

Throughout the game, Su Feng made 14 of 29 shots, including 5 of 10 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws, scoring a game-high 34 points, 7 rebounds, 3 steals, 2 blocks, and 1 assist.

Kobe, on the other hand, made 12 of 21 shots, including 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 6 free throws, scoring 29 points, 13 rebounds, 11 assists, 4 steals, and 4 blocks.

There was no other way; who told Erie Catholic High School to be last year's runner-up?

Therefore, in order to avoid the tragic event of being overturned after leading by 40 points, Su Feng and Kobe could only insist on playing.

Ahem, of course, Su Feng didn't go too far. He and Kobe went off to rest with half a quarter remaining in the fourth.

Otherwise, Su Feng felt that he could have scored 40+ today.

It has to be said that slaughtering a novice village with a max-level account is really...

Too damn good!

The three-man squad was already stunned on the sidelines. In addition to Su Feng, Kobe also left a very deep impression on them in this game.

"This kid named Kobe played really well. He's clear-headed and has good fundamentals. He really doesn't seem like a 17-year-old," Zhang Weiping said with emotion.

"Yes, and the main thing is that he's different from the American players we have in our impression. Look, he likes to pass the ball to Su Feng," Su Junyang said with a smile.

Speaking of which, after the game, Su Feng told Kobe that because some reporters from China had come today, the extra practice in the evening would be canceled.

Originally, Su Feng thought that canceling the extra practice would make Kobe angry, but unexpectedly...

"Haha, Su, your fame has finally caught up to one-tenth of mine.

Go ahead, remember what I told you before, be humble when you're interviewed," Kobe patted Su Feng on the shoulder and laughed.

Looking at Kobe's wretched smile, Su Feng always felt that something was wrong.

But whatever, with Kobe's brain circuit, Su Feng felt that it was normal for him not to keep up.

And just as Su Feng was walking towards the three-man squad, Kobe murmured in a low voice, "If I practice with you every day, how am I going to go on dates?"

Goodbye, you guys, I'm going to pick up girls!

...

"Sorry to keep the three teachers waiting."

After agreeing with Kobe not to have extra practice today, Su Feng said very politely, looking at the three-man squad who had been standing under the basketball hoop.

"Not long, not long," Zhang Weiping said with a grin.

"Then, what would you three teachers like to eat?" Su Feng asked.

"How can we really let you treat? Tell us what you want to eat, and we'll treat," Zhang Weiping said.

Su Feng smiled, "Why don't we go to my house and I'll cook? After all, it's too difficult to eat authentic Chinese food in America."

As soon as they heard about authentic Chinese food, the three-man squad's mouths started watering.

Who says it isn't!

At first, the three of them were very interested in hamburgers and cola after arriving in Philadelphia, but after eating too much, they inevitably felt that Chinese food was more delicious.

"You can also cook?" Zhang Weiping asked curiously.

"Chuan, Lu, Yue, Su, Zhe, Min, Xiang, Hui cuisines, you three teachers can order whatever you like." Just kidding, did you really think that Su Feng had so many "ex-girlfriends" in his previous life just because of his looks?

Well...

That's probably just because of his looks.

In this way, after thanking Markson, the *Philadelphia Evening News* reporter who brought them here today, the three-man squad continued their "interview journey."

...

In fact, at first, the three-man squad didn't take Su Feng's offer to cook to heart.

After all, in the eyes of the three-man squad, interviewing them for the content they wanted was the most important thing.

So, when Su Feng said to go to his house for dinner, Xu Jicheng secretly kicked Zhang Weiping, who wanted to refuse.

"This is the child's good intention; we can't disrespect them," Xu Jicheng whispered in Zhang Weiping's ear on the way to Su Feng's house.

Zhang Weiping suddenly understood. He knew that what Xu Jicheng meant was that the child probably thought it would be too expensive to eat out, so he invited them to eat at home.

"Our most important purpose for this trip is to understand Su Feng's true basketball level. Now that we've achieved half of our goal, we should leave a good impression on him next," Xu Jicheng added.

Su Junyang felt that Teacher Xu was too amazing. He had even considered so much for Su Feng.

"Learn, learn," Su Junyang nodded silently.

But...

After arriving at Su Feng's house, the three-man squad was completely stunned by Su Feng's skilled "knife skills."

The 90s were different from the future. Although the three-man squad usually cooked for themselves at home, the cooking skills of Chinese girls at this time were all top-notch.

"Braised pork, Kung Pao chicken, sweet and sour pork ribs, celery fried shredded beef, Mapo tofu...

Three teachers, do you think you want to add a few more dishes?"

After showing off his cooking skills, Su Feng said, looking at the three-man squad who had completely petrified.

"......"

"Enough, enough," Xu Jicheng said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Oh my God!

What kind of monster is this child!

With the reform and opening up, the living standards of the people of China are getting better and better. Many of the only children born in the 80s and 90s, let alone cooking, most of them probably haven't even washed a bowl before graduating from high school.

Because their parents had a hard time, they hoped that their children could enjoy their blessings in peace.

In Su Feng's previous life, he learned this cooking skill from his roommates when he was in college.

Don't ask, just ask because each of their six roommates had a girlfriend whose hometown was different...

There was no other way. If you want to tie a woman's heart, you have to tie a woman's stomach. The world has changed!

"This taste is amazing!"

After tasting a bite of the braised pork made by Su Feng, Director Zhang felt that his tongue was about to be eaten by himself.

"Su Feng, do you usually cook for yourself?" Xu Jicheng asked curiously.

"Yes, because I'm preparing to play in the NBA now, I have to pay attention to my eating habits," Su Feng said with a smile.

Speaking of which, if it weren't for the nutrient solution, let alone this table of dishes, Su Feng would only be able to make himself unpalatable nutritional meals...

"Su Feng, can you tell us, what's the difference between training here in the United States and in China?" Zhang Weiping asked.

Su Feng nodded, and then told Director Zhang all the training methods and recipes that the three trainers had told him in the summer.

"Advanced, too advanced. A reasonable diet and scientific training. Look, Su Feng's muscles are like this now. Even at my peak, I wasn't this good," Director Zhang said with emotion.

Then, while eating, the three-man squad asked Su Feng many questions.

For example, why he hadn't played basketball in China before, when he came to the United States to study, and what his future plans were...

Su Feng didn't avoid these questions, because he knew that it was impossible not to be famous in China after he entered the NBA in the future.

Therefore, taking this opportunity, Su Feng felt that it was time to lay the groundwork for his future.

"Three teachers, actually, I didn't know I had the talent to play basketball before.

But after coming to the United States, I met Coach Gregg, who said it was a pity if I didn't play basketball.

So I just practiced and practiced, and I didn't expect to become the genius that the local newspapers said.

As for my future, three teachers, I've already thought about it. I'm going to skip college and enter the NBA draft next year!" Su Feng said.

Listening to Su Feng's explanation, the three-man squad felt it was very reasonable.

Especially Zhang Weiping, who said with emotion, "So that's how it is. It turns out that our system has loopholes.

But I never thought that this loophole would leak out a Monkey King."

"By the way, Su Feng, you said you want to skip college. Do you think your chances of entering the NBA by skipping college are high?" Xu Jicheng asked curiously.

At this time, Chinese basketball was still in a state of half-knowledge about the NBA.

Su Feng remembered that in the future, when Yao Ming became the top pick, there were still quite a few people who thought it was a matter of course.

They didn't realize how awesome Yao Ming, the top pick, was.

Brothers, wake up, this is the NBA's top pick!

"For the draft, the American draft is mainly based on..."

Su Feng didn't hide anything and directly brought out his family background from various forums in the future.

But just after Su Feng explained to the three-man squad what the NBA draft was all about, Su Junyang said with a worried expression, "Since the draft is so difficult, why don't you go to college first and then..."

"Because I want to compete with Michael Jordan before he retires. To tell you the truth, my teammate Kobe also thinks so."

Su Feng knew that as long as you can't round it off, just bring out Michael Jordan and it's over.

After listening to Su Feng's words, Zhang Weiping couldn't help but give Su Feng a big thumbs up.

Next, the three of them talked about some basketball topics.

As for Su Feng, the three-man squad's goodwill value exploded in an instant.

After all, who wouldn't like such a young man who speaks well, has strength, is polite, and most importantly, knows how to cook?

It is worth mentioning that before the interview ended, Su Junyang specifically asked Su Feng a question, "Su Feng, do you think it's okay if I translate Kobe Bryant's name as Ke Bi (科比)?"

Xu Jicheng smiled from the side, "I think Little Su's proposal is good. Ke Bi, this is a very unique name."

Of course it's unique...

Who would be okay and name their son after food?

Su Feng didn't continue to complain, because he remembered that Kobe's name in his previous life was proposed by Su Junyang and finally approved by Xu Jicheng.

In order to prevent the Kobe fans of this life from becoming "Bu" fans (布蜜, where "Bu" sounds like "B"), Su Feng nodded, "I support Teacher Su."

Su Junyang smiled, "You and I are from the same family. You're being too polite calling me Teacher Su. In the future, just call me Lao Su (Old Su)."

Zhang Weiping added, "Okay, then from now on, we'll call Su Junyang Lao Su, and Su Feng Xiao Su (Little Su)."

Xu Jicheng nodded, "I second that."

In this way, Su Feng was arranged by the three-man squad.

Speaking of which, before the three-man squad returned to the hotel, they also told Su Feng that they would be staying in Philadelphia for about 10 days to observe Su Feng's usual training and games.

"No problem, I'll just give Coach Gregg a heads-up," Su Feng nodded.

In this era without social networks, Su Feng knew that it was still crucial to have these three people in China hyping him up.

As a yellow-skinned player, Su Feng knew very well that his biggest advantage in the NBA in the future was the constantly strengthening motherland.

So, in the next few days, the three-man squad became a beautiful landscape in the Lower Merion basketball training hall...

...

November 23rd, sunny.

Today is the Philadelphia 76ers' day off.

After scoring 22 points in yesterday's game against the Rockets, Stackhouse's mood was getting better and better.

Especially since today, head coach John Lucas and assistant coach John Davis will be taking him to Lower Merion to inspect the training of that damn 'Philadelphia Gemini.'

Isn't it just attracting attention by forming a CP (couple)?

In Stackhouse's opinion, he's just missing a Pippen right now, otherwise, he'd be taking off in seconds.

If Stackhouse's inner thoughts were translated, it would probably be: My name is Jerry Stackhouse, also known as Jerry Sihao (斯昊), the one destined by heaven, Jordan's junior brother...

In short, Stackhouse had even thought about his opening remarks for a while.

At that time, he must strike a cool pose, and then look at Su Feng and Kobe...

"Who wants to go first?"
