Chapter 2 Before the Second Quarter

Before the second quarter started, just as Su Feng was giving Da Ben some pointers...

Head coach Davis suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to remind Su Feng to attack the Bucks' defensive flanks more often.

So, he turned to look at Su Feng, who was draping an arm around Da Ben's shoulders and muttering quietly. "Su, there are a lot of opportunities in the Bucks' defensive flanks. Try to choose those areas for your shots."

Su Feng was almost scared to death by Davis.

It felt like suddenly discovering that the proctor was behind you while you were trying to cheat on an exam.

Su Feng quickly let go of Da Ben's neck and nodded obediently. "Okay, Coach."

Davis chuckled. "Were you discussing tactics with Ben just now? Ben is good at everything, but he can never remember what I ask him to do."

"Yes, Coach, I noticed that, so I was reminding Ben to do his job properly." Hearing Davis say that, Su Feng felt relieved.

What a sensible kid.

Davis was growing more and more fond of Su Feng.

Especially when compared to Weather Spoon and others, who kept complaining to their teammates after being subbed out.

In the second quarter, the Bucks replaced Ray Allen with "Big Dog" Robinson.

Although it was just a preseason game, Bucks coach Ford didn't want to lose to a lousy team like the 76ers.

There was no way around it, the 76ers of this period were notoriously bad.

And after discovering that his opponent had become Robinson...

Su Feng felt a surge of power within him!

Never mind whether Robinson was a stat-padder or not, even if he was...

He was still a stat-padder with a very desirable iron-pounding value!

8000 iron-pounding value...

Plus the priority right to pound iron with the bench, Su Feng felt that a bright future was waving at him.

In the second quarter, the 76ers inbounded the ball. Waters, who was responsible for dribbling, signaled to his teammates to spread out after crossing half-court.

During this period, many NBA point guards idolized Magic Johnson and Stockton. Therefore, in their eyes, passing was the primary task of a point guard.

Waters wasn't Weather Spoon or Si Hao, he was just an ordinary role player, so he would play whatever tactics the coach arranged.

Although he thought that letting Su Feng, who was facing Robinson, be the main attacker was no different from sending Su Feng to his death, he still carried out the coach's tactics step by step.

It's worth mentioning that after passing the ball to a teammate on the wing, who then passed it to Su Feng, who was preparing to post up, Waters even felt sorry for Su Feng for a second.

After all, betting on Su Feng recently had won him a lot of money...

However, Waters had no idea how happy Su Feng was at this moment!

Big Dog Robinson had excellent physical qualities, but the only thing that bothered Su Feng was that this guy's defensive attitude was questionable.

Defending so loosely, weren't you afraid of being exploded by a rookie?

Catching the ball, leaning in, suddenly turning around, Su Feng's entire fadeaway process was not disturbed in the slightest.

Swish!

26 to 29.

"Good shot!" On the bench, Davis was delighted to see Su Feng score successfully according to his plan.

Jason and Rick also applauded and said, "Su is the kind of plug-and-play player."

"Yes, as long as he follows the tactics, it doesn't matter even if he misses." Davis nodded while glancing at Stackhouse.

Si Hao on the side felt a little aggrieved, could he compare to the treatment Su Feng was enjoying on the court right now?

But Stackhouse didn't dare to complain like Weather Spoon, because sitting next to him was Iverson.

Stackhouse wasn't foolish enough to fall out with the team's star point guard before the new season even started.

On the court, the Bucks attacked, and Big Dog lazily moved to the high post to receive the ball.

The Bucks were out of luck to have drafted such a top pick...

Demanding 100 million before even debuting, constant off-court incidents, plus alcoholism and absent training...

If this guy put in a little effort, the return on his physical talent would be more than just 100 million.

Robinson wasn't very interested in preseason games, because in his opinion, there was no benefit to playing seriously in a game that wasn't televised.

In Robinson's eyes, players like Su Feng who treated preseason games like playoff games were just brainless.

The proudest thing in Robinson's life was that he signed a 10-year, $68 million contract with the Bucks without playing a single NBA game.

He drove luxury cars, lived in luxury houses, drank the best wine, and slept with the best women...

Bang!

On the court, just as Robinson was wondering how to use his talent to crush Su Feng, Su Feng suddenly made a steal, taking the basketball directly from Robinson's hand.

Robinson was a little angry. If nothing else, this guy had a particularly explosive temper.

He sped back, but Su Feng suddenly passed the ball to Waters, who was following up.

Waters easily scored an open layup, 28 to 29.

Robinson felt like he had been played by a rookie, and angrily looked at Su Feng while spewing a bunch of expletives.

However, to Robinson's dismay, Su Feng simply ignored him.

Su Feng patted Waters on the shoulder and said, "Rex, your follow-up was really timely."

Waters was happy and his impression of Su Feng improved a lot. "Your pass was good."

Compared to the stats in the preseason game, Su Feng knew that his focus should temporarily be on building relationships with his teammates.

Because this temporary right to pound iron and a mere two points weren't that important to Su Feng.

Su Feng knew very well that his current style of play depended a lot on his teammates.

If he didn't cultivate a few chefs, how could he happily eat the cake after the new season started?

Plus, he was a "passing talent negative", so he had to seize this rare opportunity for an assist.

And look, the coaches were applauding for him.

The current 76ers were like a plate of loose sand and needed someone to unite the team.

This was emotional intelligence!

When it was the Bucks' turn to attack, Robinson went berserk this time and forced his way inside after demanding the ball.

Su Feng retreated unhurriedly, and when Robinson broke through to the position where he was about to shoot, Su Feng decisively stepped aside and used the Great Summoning Technique:

Where was the General of Alabama, Da Ben?

As soon as he spoke, Da Ben arrived and used a monstrous block to take down the enemy general Robinson!

On the sidelines, although this ball deviated slightly from the defensive tactics he had arranged, Davis couldn't help but applaud Ben Wallace's block.

At the Bucks' home court, the scattered fans also let out a cry of surprise.

Because after blocking Robinson, Da Ben roared at the hot-tempered Robinson.

You're hot-tempered?

You have the ability to keep being hot-tempered!

Looking at Ben Wallace's ferocious expression, Robinson, who had wanted to lose his temper, chickened out.

If Robinson had been a little more temperamental, his achievements would have been more than just this.

In Su Feng's previous life, this guy mostly used his temper on being a rascal.

On the Bucks' bench, Ray Allen, who saw this scene, was expressionless, but in his heart, he had silently given Su Feng and Da Ben a big thumbs up.

Because Robinson especially liked to lecture Ray Allen in the team.

Ray Allen wasn't someone who liked to cause trouble, but there was a limit to people's tolerance.

It was okay to be your bag carrier, but who do you think you are telling me how to play?

Ray Allen and Robinson's conflict hadn't broken out yet, but in the future, when Ray Allen grew up, he wouldn't buy Robinson's act as much.

Every rookie team had its own problems...

On the court, the game continued. After being blocked by Da Ben, it was still the Bucks' ball. In order to save face, Robinson turned on serious mode.

He directly used his elbow, trying to scare Su Feng back.

However, Su Feng didn't retreat, but instead stuck to him even closer.

Thump, thump...

Robinson, who hadn't practiced much during the holidays, hadn't returned to his best condition. When he changed direction to break through Su Feng, the basketball actually hit his foot...

Robinson felt extremely embarrassed, because even some Bucks fans on the sidelines laughed.

So, when he returned to the defensive end, Robinson made constant small moves, trying to harass Su Feng.

But Su Feng didn't panic at all, steadily leaned on him and continued to post up.

Clang!

Su Feng used the same trick again, but failed to score under Robinson's "strict defense."

However, just as Robinson wanted to say something mocking, Su Feng preempted him:

"So, you're still pretty strong."

Su Feng, who had received the iron-pounding value, felt unspeakably happy, and more importantly, Da Ben had grabbed the offensive rebound this time.

Before Robinson could react, Su Feng had already run to the other side. Da Ben immediately recognized Su Feng's handsome rooster head in the crowd and threw the ball out.

Catch the ball, shoot!

Clang!

According to the first person responsible for the iron-pounding value system, although Robinson didn't keep up, the iron-pounding value calculated by the system was still counted on him...

In the frontcourt, Da Ben was wreaking havoc in the restricted area, and the Bucks' two inside players were squeezed behind him by him.

After grabbing the rebound, Da Ben raised the ball and looked around, discovering Su Feng again!

This time, Su Feng didn't miss the opportunity. He adjusted himself, swish!

It was a top-of-the-arc three-pointer.

31 to 29, the 76ers, who were originally 11 points behind before the first quarter, had turned the game around!

Su Feng called this feeling of assisting, rebounding, and scoring double the happiness.

There was no way around it, Robinson was very serious in defense just now, and Su Feng's first two shots had slight deformations in his movements.

But as a shooter, even if he missed two shots in a row, Su Feng would resolutely continue to fire!

On the sidelines, Davis took the lead in applauding and said, "Back then, this kid told me during the tryout that even if his touch wasn't good, he would continue to shoot."

Jason and Rick looked at Davis curiously with gossipy eyes. Davis looked at the two assistant coaches and said, "Because he thinks he is the best shooter."

Jason and Rick nodded, this kind of confidence was indeed a quality that a shooter should have.

But...

Stackhouse had something to say.

Because he also had such qualities, but...

He didn't have the same opportunity as Su Feng!

The game continued. Robinson was completely enraged. This time, he made a mid-range shot, and after scoring, he glared fiercely at Su Feng.

See that, you little rascal, this is what a top pick is...

However, why would Su Feng bother with him?

In Su Feng's opinion, people like Robinson weren't even worthy of him trash-talking.

On the court, Su Feng was already making a fast break as soon as Robinson scored. Waters returned the favor and sent a long pass. Su Feng caught the ball and executed a thunderous dunk!

33 to 31...

The Bucks called a timeout...
