Los Angeles.

After a "friendly" exchange with Jones, Kobe's mind was filled with countless days and nights in Philadelphia.

The thought of Su Feng once being driven to self-doubt by him always made Kobe grin like he'd just bitten into a peach.

However, the beautiful memories suddenly came to an end.

Because, wearing a 76ers number 23 jersey, Su Feng with his hands on his hips reappeared in Kobe's mind...

Oh, no!

"Kobe, I don't think you need to be too anxious, because you're really strong.

I think Coach Del Harris will give you a chance," Jones said to Kobe after their one-on-one session.

Jones was impressed by Kobe's dedication and perseverance.

Especially when he was giving Kobe pointers on defense, Kobe would always take out a notebook and take notes diligently.

In Jones's opinion, Kobe not only had many "flashy" tricks on offense, but also had a lot of dark technology on the defensive end.

"I've watched the game tape of your high school classmate. I think you can check out his tape.

Kobe, playing in the NBA requires not only individual ability, but also learning to integrate into the team."

As he prepared to leave the training facility, Jones patted Kobe on the shoulder and said.

Kobe: "???"

Huh?

Watch Su Feng's game videos?

Learn from him?

He...

He clearly learned to play basketball from me!

I skipped college first!

My draft pick was also higher!

Impossible, watching Su Feng's game tape to learn would be worse than Kobe dying.

Wasn't being heartbroken during the live broadcast enough?

He had to watch the tape again?

Double the pain?

The next day, before the Lakers' team training began, Kobe found the assistant coach.

"Coach, do you have the 76ers' game tape?" Kobe asked.

"Yes, what's up?" the assistant coach asked curiously.

"I want to study it," Kobe said.

Learning from Su Feng was impossible. In Kobe's opinion, he would never learn from that bastard in this lifetime.

Kobe just wanted to nitpick Su Feng, after all, as Su Feng's best friend, Kobe felt it was his duty to point out Su Feng's shortcomings.

Just like that, Kobe got a few tapes of 76ers' games.

In the following period, in addition to extra one-on-one training with Jones every day, the thing Kobe did most was to study how Su Feng became a starter on the 76ers.

"I didn't notice it when I watched the live broadcast before, but... Su is playing too 'solo' now, right?"

"Was he this 'solo' before?"

"Why did he shoot this ball? This ball is... unreasonable!"

"Could it be that coaches prefer this kind of 'decisive' style of play?"

Watching the 76ers' game tape, the 'Pennsylvania Magician', 'Flash' Kobe was completely confused.

...

On the 15th, the 76ers hosted the Cavaliers at home.

In this game, 76ers newcomer Ratliff started in a number 42 jersey.

Walking into the CoreStates Center with his teammates, Ratliff felt a little dizzy.

Is this... the feeling of starting?

Am I... reaching the peak of my life?

During the player introductions, listening to the arena DJ's announcement, Ratliff didn't realize until his teammates reminded him that the super awesome player the DJ was talking about just now...

Was me?

The Roof of Alabama, oh my God...

It is worth mentioning that after Ratliff sparred with Big Ben for a few hours yesterday, they discovered while chatting that they were from the same hometown.

Su Feng was very curious at the time, could it be that Alabama is rich in black, tough guys?

You know, now, the 76ers have two Alabama strongmen.

This life's Iverson definitely maxed out his luck stat, because in his rookie season, he was successfully surrounded by a group of strongmen.

Alright, what defense does Iverson still need now...

Just go for broke with "misplaced steals"!

Otherwise, how can the toughness of this 76ers' defense be highlighted?

Speaking of which, when the big screen showed the starting lineups of the two teams tonight, the 76ers fans in the arena were a little surprised.

Because...

The dignified number three overall pick in '95, Jordan's understudy, he really went to play as a substitute?

In this game, Davis replaced Stackhouse with Harris in the starting lineup.

Under Su Feng's crazy hints, Davis figured it out.

And on the other side, under Su Feng's beatings, Stackhouse also figured it out.

Davis knew that this 76ers team needed a bench core to lead the team.

Stackhouse was just a "fake substitute". Only by staggering his playing time with "Ai Feng" could the strength of this number three overall pick in '95 be brought into full play.

And Stackhouse looked at the surprised 76ers fans in the arena with an expression of 'you don't understand my happiness'.

Is starting fun?

Of course, it's fun.

But starting on the 76ers wasn't fun for him!

Thinking of how many times he had silently screened for Su Feng on the court, only to be rewarded with either that guy's one-on-one duels or the occasional kick from him on the bench...

Stackhouse's heart... ached.

And the coach also told him that he could fire at will when he came off the bench.

Thinking of Su Feng playing with the tumor that was Iverson, Stackhouse couldn't be happier.

Sixth man it is then, as long as I have unlimited firing rights, everything is negotiable.

It has to be said that under Su Feng's efforts behind the scenes, this 76ers team has gradually gotten on the right track.

Only...

Davis's bold attempt failed this time.

After losing to the Raptors the day before, Iverson, who was in a bad mood in this game, was eager to prove himself.

Plus, because he played too well at the start of his rookie season, recently, Iverson's agent, who is also his uncle, Gary Moore, has been constantly encouraging him to compete for the scoring title.

In Moore's opinion, if Iverson could win the scoring title as a rookie, it would become a timeless legend.

So, seeing Brandon, who was even shorter than him, Iverson couldn't help himself.

Although Su Feng specifically reminded Iverson before the game not to be obsessed with going one-on-one with Brandon.

But Iverson, whose heart had already taken flight, directly crashed into the Cavaliers' trap this night.

There was nothing he could do, this was the Answer.

Since you like to watch him score, then you have to know that behind Iverson's explosive damage is often those unreasonable shot selections.

The industry already has a consensus on the number of shots taken by core players.

Generally speaking, on average, it is best for core players to take 15 to 20 shots.

Because taking too many shots will definitely affect the performance of other players.

Unless you can guarantee that you will crush your opponents in every game, even if you are Michael Jordan, you need teammates.

When he gets stubborn, even Su Feng can't pull Iverson back.

Ratliff still needs time to integrate into the team. On this night, the Cavaliers, relying on more holistic team basketball, educated the young 76ers.

But the worst thing was not losing the game.

But Iverson sprained his ankle in this game.

He will miss the 76ers' next week of games.

When the team had just shown signs of taking off, the core player's injury undoubtedly cast a shadow over the 76ers' prospects.

Su Feng remembered that Iverson had missed a few games in his rookie season due to injury in his previous life, but his knowledge points also had blind spots, and he couldn't remember everything.

After the game, watching Iverson, who was silent in the locker room, Su Feng patted him on the shoulder.

At this moment, big eyes met big eyes.

Su Feng didn't comfort Iverson, because for people like Iverson, comforting him would only backfire.

Su Feng knew that Iverson must be feeling uncomfortable, remorseful, and guilty at this moment.

So after thinking for a while, Su Feng smiled at him and said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

"But..."

Iverson originally wanted to say that in the next week, the 76ers would face the Heat, Pacers, Bullets, and Knicks one after another, and every game could be said to be against a strong opponent.

However, seeing Su Feng's firm gaze, Iverson knew that if he didn't trust Su Feng at this time, he would be doubting himself.

"Su, actually I... saw those opportunities you guys had on the court," after a long while, Iverson said to Su Feng, staring at him with his big eyes.

"I know, I understand."

As a walking, talking Encyclopedia A.I., Su Feng knew very well that Iverson had put up such explosive stats in the previous few games, if the people around him didn't encourage him to compete for the scoring title, then his friends wouldn't be his friends...

"But Allen, compared to stats, I prefer winning," looking at Iverson, Su Feng said seriously.

"I told you before, I skipped college so that I could match up with Michael Jordan, but it's no fun just playing against him in the regular season, right?" Su Feng added.

Iverson was stunned.

At this moment, Su Feng suddenly became taller.

"Friends come and go, only the championship banner flies in the wind." Seeing that Iverson was being fooled by him, Su Feng hurriedly pulled out the final trump card.

'Iverson's' fuel loading progress, 100%.

"Su, actually my injury isn't serious, if it really doesn't work, I can discuss it with the team doctor..."

Iverson felt like he was a piece of dry wood at this moment, completely ignited by Su Feng.

"Don't, don't, don't, just rest well. Since you were chosen by the team to assist me, then next, it's 'the.king' time."

Su Feng knew very well that Iverson's injury wasn't serious this time, and although the 76ers' schedule in the next week was difficult, it didn't mean they couldn't win a single game...

That was impossible.

After all, with Jeff Van Gundy, this professional provider of warmth, what was there to worry about in terms of record?

There were 82 games in the NBA, was it worth gambling with Iverson's career for just 4 games?

That wasn't worth it.

As Iverson's 'friend', Su Feng of course had an obligation to share Iverson's "unlimited brick-laying rights"... ah, no, of course he had an obligation to share Iverson's pressure.

...

On the 16th, the 76ers didn't have time to consider the impact of Iverson's injury, because they flew to Miami to prepare for a back-to-back game against the Heat.

In Miami, as soon as Su Feng got off the plane, he saw Tracy McGrady, who had specially taken leave from North Carolina to come and cheer him on.

Hiss!

It had only been a year and a half, but how did Tracy seem to have gotten taller again?

Su Feng was very curious how McGrady's listed height would be concealed in the future.

With this height, if McGrady had a flat top, it would be fine, but if he also had an afro, Su Feng would believe it if you said he was seven feet tall.

"Long time no see, Su."

McGrady had been in a good mood recently, especially after he crushed Odom, who was known as the number one high school student in the United States, at the Adidas ABCD Camp this summer.

Now, he was the number one high school student in the United States.

Su Feng thought, it seemed that in this life, other than Vince Carter, whom he had only heard of but never seen, three of the Four Guards had already been conquered by him?

"Tracy, how are your grades recently?" Su Feng asked curiously.

McGrady: "..."

Could you please not rub salt in my wounds?

McGrady's senior year grades were terrible.

Because he was addicted to basketball, with his grades, go to college?

Go to Caltech to study the "digging trenches" major?

Okay, this time Su Feng really didn't want to stab McGrady's heart...

Because whether McGrady's grades were good or not now would directly determine whether he would skip college in the future.

In case the trajectory of history was affected by him, in Su Feng's opinion, it wasn't impossible for McGrady to go to college for a year.

And after seeing McGrady's silence, Su Feng could confirm that this guy would participate in the draft next year, just like in the historical trajectory.

"I heard you say on the phone before that you've met Vince?" Su Feng continued to gossip.

Affected by Su Feng, McGrady, who had opened his heart, because he was studying at a high school in North Carolina, met with Carter after participating in the Adidas ABCD Camp this year.

It was said that the two brothers chatted well, but Carter, you can chat with McGrady about basketball, but why did you start talking about studies and amateur life?

It wasn't Su Feng boasting, but McGrady might not be able to solve a slightly more complicated junior high school math problem.

So, after seeing that side, McGrady blocked Carter.

"By the way, did you see the dunk I had over Patrick?" Taking the opportunity to meet with McGrady, Su Feng boasted.

"I saw it, but Vince told me that your dunk was too sissy, not domineering at all," McGrady complained.

Su Feng: "..."

The Mountain Splitter wasn't domineering?

Damn...

Su Feng decided that after the system was updated in 1999, he would definitely choose jumping!

Not for anything else, he had to go to the 2000 dunk contest and beat Carter!

What half-man, half-god?

Su Feng had even roasted Jordan, was he afraid of just Vince Carter?

Don't ask, just know that Su Feng was petty!

On the side, seeing that Su Feng had been successfully stabbed in the heart by him, McGrady was overjoyed.

"I heard that Allen Iverson is injured, won't you be slaughtered by the Miami Heat in this game?" McGrady continued to stab him in the heart.

Unfortunately, McGrady stabbed at air this time.

Because on the plane, Davis had said that Su Feng would be in charge of "unlimited firing rights" for the next week.

The Heat during this period were one of the notorious Eastern Conference bullies, with a tough style.

But as 'the.king', Miami was one of Su Feng's favorite American cities.

And Su Feng wasn't afraid of teams like the Heat at all, because he couldn't wait for the Heat to put out their strongest lineup and beat him to death.

You know, the Heat didn't have anything else, they were just good at defense.

In Su Feng's previous life, in the 96/97 season, the Heat couldn't even get 95 points per game. The magic weapon for Riley leading the team to 61 wins was their defense, which could limit their opponents to an average of less than 90 points per game.

In Su Feng's opinion, although the 76ers were giving the Heat an Iverson, it didn't mean that the 76ers had no chance to win this game.

Because the Heat were also on a back-to-back game, and they had lost to the Bulls and Hawks in their previous two games.

Especially the game they lost to the Bulls, the Heat lost everything, and were crushed by the old rogue by 32 points.

In Su Feng's previous life, the Heat's opening state this season was average, and they didn't start to exert their strength until the middle and late stages.

The regular season was different from the playoffs. Since even an outsider like McGrady believed that the Heat had the 76ers in the bag, the Heat would definitely underestimate their opponents.

For Su Feng, who was in charge of "unlimited firing rights" for the first time, he wasn't bragging when he told Iverson that he would take care of everything.

Because Su Feng would treat every game as his last.

After all, the iron-forging points given after winning the game were so sweet...

Ptooey!

Was Su Feng the kind of man who coveted iron-forging points?

...

Just like that, after catching up with McGrady, on the evening of the 16th, the 76ers challenged the Heat in Miami on a back-to-back game.

This game would be broadcast by China Central Television.

CCTV now broadcasts two NBA games a week. For Chinese fans, watching NBA on weekend mornings has begun to become a habit.

Before the game, Zhang指导 said worriedly, "Allen Iverson is out injured in this game, it won't be easy for the 76ers to beat the Heat."

Sun Zhengping nodded, opened his notebook, looked at it, and said, "After losing to the Raptors and Cavaliers in a row, the 76ers' situation can be described as walking on thin ice."

In front of the TV, listening to the two commentators downplaying the 76ers, a small group of fans only regretted that they couldn't give the 76ers advice, otherwise, in their opinion, they would definitely be able to come up with a countermeasure for the 76ers.

In the arena, during the warm-up, Su Feng found that Riley, dressed in a suit, was frowning all the time.

And Mourning also returned to the bench after a slight warm-up, with an expression that seemed a little "painful"?

Su Feng immediately felt that this game wouldn't be simple.

So, Su Feng hooked Ratliff and said, "Later, when you're matched up against Alonzo, if there's anything unusual, remember to tell me as soon as possible."

Ratliff nodded, with Iverson out, Su Feng was really 'the.king'.

Plus, Big Ben usually respected Su Feng, and even Ratliff regarded Su Feng as the team's second-in-command.

It was a pity that Su Feng didn't know what Ratliff was thinking, otherwise he would have invited Ratliff to a duel.

What second-in-command?

Get that Pippen out of here!

After the players from both teams finished their warm-up, the big screen quickly showed the starting lineups for both teams tonight.

Heat: Alonzo Mourning, Kurt Thomas, Dan Majerle, Sasha Danilovic, Tim Hardaway.

76ers: Ratliff, Big Ben, Su Feng, Harris, Smith.

On the court, Ratliff and Mourning jumped for the ball to start the game.

When jumping for the ball, Ratliff felt that Su Feng was simply amazing.

Because he felt that today's Mourning was soft and mushy...

But out of respect for Mourning, Ratliff decided to play and see.

The 76ers played their first offense, and Smith, who wanted to hug Su Feng's thick elbow, passed the ball to Su Feng.

Majerle was a white small forward, and he had a good basket, and had been selected to the All-Star three times, but his speed was...

Su Feng grabbed the ball with one hand, used his speed to create space, and then took a handsome mid-range jumper!

Was this unlimited iron-forging rights?

I'm in love!

Clang——!

In the Heat's restricted area, Ratliff was stunned.

At this moment, Ratliff even suspected that he was actually a buried super center.

This...

You dare to believe that Mourning was pushed down by him?

Ratliff grabbed the rebound, hit the board, and scored, 2 to 0.

Fortunately, Ratliff wasn't stupid, he knew that something must have happened to Mourning, but...

Su Feng was too magical, right?

Ratliff was as excited as if he had discovered that Big Ben wasn't wearing underwear tonight, and ran to Su Feng excitedly.

And Su Feng looked at Ratliff with a straight face.

Sure enough, Big Ben was better to him.

A tool man like Ratliff didn't qualify!

"Oh, is that so? I got it." Looking at Ratliff, at this moment, Su Feng's tone was as cold as it could be.

Ratliff was dumbfounded...

Did I offend Su somewhere?

Ratliff felt extremely wronged.

And at this time, after looking at Mourning and then at Riley, Su Feng could confirm that Mourning must have happened something he didn't know before the start of this game.

Su Feng, who was good at observation, knew that tonight, the 76ers really had a good chance of winning!
