Silently Writing
Chapter 97 Brother Feng is Amazing!
Every morning when I wake up, the first thing I say is how handsome I am.
November 1st, Su Feng woke up feeling quite satisfied.
Because today is the NBA's opening game, which is also his career debut, Su Feng must ensure that all aspects of himself are in the best condition.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Su Feng opened the system interface in his mind.
"Host: Su Feng, Nationality: China, Age: 18, Current Smithing Value: 1.05 million points (Note: Su Feng got itchy hands again after adding potential recently)."
"Height: 198 cm, Height with shoes: 201 cm, Weight: 91.6 kg, Wingspan: 219 cm."
"Host's current ability value [God-Given Talent] is (Note: [] contains potential):
Close-range shot: 67 [74], Mid-range shot: 79 [82], Three-point shot: 80 [80] +-;
Mid-range shot after dribbling: 73 [76], Three-point shot after dribbling: 74 [80] +-;

The host is currently equipped with a special skill: Xiaoyao Step (Original Version).
The host is currently equipped with badges: Yang Yan, Pan Shi, Nie Pan."
After inspecting his current ability values, Su Feng happily opened the details of his speed.
Looking at his 89 off-ball speed and 93 maximum sprint speed, don't ask, he's a fighter jet.
Well, the 78 on-ball speed is a drag......
But it's worth mentioning that after having as high as 67 points in dribbling ability...
Su Feng is now much more skilled in some practical dribbling techniques than before.
After all, recently, under Iverson's guidance, Su Feng was only short of practicing breaking double teams with the ball in both hands while sleeping.
As for defensive attributes, Su Feng found that he had now reached the stage where he could not improve his defensive level by hard work alone.
In Su Feng's opinion, this should be related to defensive experience.
Anyway, he'll just wait to be beaten...
Wasn't that how Su Feng's defensive talent was unlocked back then?
In short, Su Feng has made every effort he could for his rookie season.
Now, crying won't help.
In the 96/97 season, Su Feng, this man, he is here!
...
The 76ers' opponent in the opening game was the Bucks, whom they had played against in the preseason.
This time, the 76ers and the Bucks had a further understanding of each other.
Whether it was the fans, the management, or the team, the 76ers, who were playing at home, hoped to use a victory to sweep away the team's slump from last season.
It goes without saying that Iverson and Su Feng both had a desire to win. One of them never gave up, and the other was a workaholic.
The fans wanted the team's record to improve because the 76ers had lost for too long.
As for the 76ers' management...
In fact, the 76ers' management had considered tanking when setting the season's goals.
It's just that the team's management and coaching staff now have a high degree of consensus.
That is, let's play and see, win if we can.
If we can't win, we'll trade to find a way to win. If we still can't win after the trade, we'll talk about it later.
After all, the slogan of "fighting for freedom and hope" has already been shouted out. The team can't keep losing, right?
In Su Feng's previous life, the 76ers did just that.
The 76ers of the 96/97 season didn't want to tank, but they were really bad.
In addition, Davis lost control of the team in the later stage, which allowed the 76ers to only win 22 games.
The 76ers' management wasn't very silly or naive. With Iverson and Su Feng already on the team, the 76ers' management knew that it was impossible to draw the first overall pick for two consecutive years.
Because Stern couldn't possibly send Duncan, who was already an open secret, to Philadelphia.
Although the NBA's first overall pick has always been fair, open, and just, Philadelphia isn't Cleveland...
One thing is true, Larry Brown's judgment was correct.
This 76ers team is indeed full of hope.
The appearance of Su Feng and Da Ben is destined to only accelerate the rebuilding process of this 76ers team.
Therefore, Su Feng, who also has a strong desire to win, whether it's from the perspective of the victory percentage in the rating or from the perspective of saving Davis...
Finding a way to win every game that can be won is the only path the 76ers can take this season.
Su Feng knows the truth that Rome wasn't built in a day.
If he wants a school district house in Los Angeles and the management to listen to him, then he must first show something.
And to be honest, in Su Feng's opinion, the cards Davis has aren't bad.
Judging from the recent movements of the 76ers' management, Su Feng feels that a trade may happen at any time.
At this time, Da Ben's deterrent power on the defensive end isn't enough, but if the 76ers really trade for a center who can protect the rim, then the entire team's combat power will instantly increase by a level.
In this era, it's still about fighting defense.
...
The Zhongzhou Arena, compared to last season's sparse attendance rate, the 76ers' home attendance rate for tonight's opening game has been close to 80%.
Many Philadelphia fans have been attracted by the Golden Double Guns.
Speaking of which, during the pre-match warm-up, Su Feng saw Iverson's mother again...
In Su Feng's previous life, Ann Iverson was one of the 76ers' more famous fans.
It's just that her nouveau riche-style dress made the 76ers' management have to advise her that there was air conditioning in the stadium and that she really didn't need to wear that mink coat...
In the stands, Su Feng also saw many female fans holding signs with his name on them.
The crooked Chinese characters written on them looked like oracle bone inscriptions just unearthed by an archaeological team.
Many local Chinese fans in Philadelphia also came. After all, Su Feng's first time was worth watching.
The Celestial Dynasty TV station will also be broadcasting this game today. However, the time for this game is in the evening in Philadelphia, while it is in the morning in China.
Zhang Weiping and Sun Zhengping are responsible for commentating on this opening game.
When many college students in the Rabbit Country looked back on this day in the future, most teachers and professors felt that:
On November 1, 1996, almost no boys came to class.
High school students were more miserable.
In addition to some who were bold enough to skip class and some who were smart enough to ask for sick leave, everyone could only wait until after school to watch the noon "Sports Express."
In Su Feng's previous life, when he was a student, the two things he did every day were watching "Sports Express" at noon and "Sports News" in the afternoon.
This sports program, which was founded in 1995, has had consistently high ratings since Yao joined the NBA.
Now in this life, because of Su Feng, "Sports Express" has become popular ahead of schedule.
NBC didn't broadcast the 76ers' game because the attention of major TV stations across the United States was on the Bulls, who had just swept the league last season.
On the court, Su Feng also found that Big Dog Robinson, who had made a lot of gaffes in the preseason, had been watching him.
Su Feng, who is full of taunts, has an innate ability to attract hatred.
However, after the last matchup, Su Feng didn't take Robinson too seriously.
It's not that Su Feng is arrogant, but this guy has limited IQ.
It's like if you're bitten by a dog, can you bite the dog back?
...
Before the start of the player introductions, the live cheerleaders' hot performance had already ignited the atmosphere of the entire arena to its peak.
Chinese fans during this period were still relatively "happy."
Because Su Feng had the good fortune to watch the Celestial Dynasty TV station's live broadcast during this period in his previous life...
Yes, that's right, the Celestial Dynasty TV station's live broadcast in this era had cheerleader performances.
The 76ers have many beautiful cheerleaders, and at this time, in order to stimulate box office sales, many teams' cheerleaders like to perform in transparent sexy costumes.
Su Feng knew that Stern had already made up his mind to rectify this vigorously, but before the rectification, even Stern could only turn a blind eye.
After all, not all teams can make money...
The owners also need to eat.
Perhaps because the ex-girlfriends he had dated in his previous life were all more beautiful than the other, Su Feng found that he had a natural immunity to beautiful women.
So when he saw Da Ben commenting on the cheerleaders, Su Feng kicked Da Ben directly.
"Focus, do you still want a big contract?" Su Feng's stern lecture made Da Ben feel extremely wronged.
I...
I only took a few glances, is it necessary?
But in Da Ben's opinion, Su Feng's education was right.
Making a lot of money is the key.
Zhongzhou Arena, after the lights in the arena were turned off one by one, the 76ers' unique opening introduction arrived——
DJ: "He is the pride of Hampton!"
Fans: "Hoo hoo hoo!"
DJ: "He is the 'Answer' we chose in the 1996 draft!"
Fans: "Hoo hoo hoo!"
DJ: "He has established great achievements at Georgetown University!
He is the free Allen Iverson, he is number 3 of the Philadelphia 76ers, he is our pride!"
In short, being chuunibyou is the way to go...
Because the Celestial Dynasty TV station was broadcasting this game from the opening ceremony, many Chinese fans in front of the TV felt it was amazing when they heard Su Feng's English introduction.
Although they didn't understand it, it seemed very impressive!
"China Central Sports Television, China Central Sports Television.
You are now watching the opening game of the 1996-1997 season of the NBA regular season. The two sides facing off are the Philadelphia 76ers and the Milwaukee Bucks.
Now we would like to invite Zhang Weiping, a former member of the Chinese men's basketball team, to introduce the starting lineups of both sides."
As Sun Zhengping's broadcasting tone entered the ears of thousands of Chinese fans, at this moment, although they didn't know enough about the NBA, the door to the NBA was opened by Su Feng on this day!
"Brother Feng is awesome! (Broken voice)"
"Damn, Brother Feng's hairstyle is so handsome, I'm going to get one too!"
"Number 23, that's Jordan's number!"
"Is that number 3 Allen Iverson? His eyes are so big..."
Although Su Feng couldn't hear Sun Zhengping's broadcasting tone, nor could he hear Zhang Weiping's reasonable analysis, Su Feng could probably guess what the reaction of Chinese fans in front of the TV would be when they saw him.
Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, as well as Battier, Yi Jianlian, Sun Yue...
Don't worry, in this life, I will pave the way for you!
Zhongzhou Arena, the starting lineups for both sides tonight were announced on the spot!
76ers: Williams, Witherspoon, Su Feng, Stackhouse, Iverson.
Bucks: Lang, Vin Baker, Robinson, Ray Allen, Douglas.
...
"Nervous?" Before the game started, Iverson patted Su Feng on the back and smiled.
"Would you believe me if I said I wasn't nervous?" Su Feng joked.
"Really? I don't believe it." Iverson also joked with Su Feng.
Just before Williams was about to jump for the ball, Su Feng and Iverson tacitly extended their right fist and left fist, respectively.
Bang!
Amid the cheers of the home fans, Lang defeated Williams in the jump ball.
The Bucks launched their first attack. Douglas controlled the ball past half court and first passed the ball to Robinson.
Robinson, facing Su Feng on the wing, had the experience of playing against him last time, so Robinson played calmly this time.
Due to the HC rules, most of the league's outside stars at this time had a good back-up skill.
Although Robinson has a stubborn personality and doesn't like to train, he is also a "back-up monster."
If Robinson was more diligent, judging from his talent, he would be the "future warrior" of this era.
In this play, Robinson posted up Su Feng on the wing. His back-up skills simply meant I post, I lean, I post, I lean again, I post again.
At this time, the league had not yet introduced the "Barkley Rule", which is the five-second rule for back-to-the-basket play.
Therefore, when two teams both have back-up monsters, the game will be very boring.
Among them, the most famous case is "back-up monster" Mark Jackson's "Bro, don't move, watch me post you up for fifteen seconds."
You should know that the "Barkley Rule" is also known as the "Mark Jackson Rule."
Because Barkley retired shortly after the five-second rule for back-to-the-basket play was introduced.
Therefore, many people at the time believed that this rule was introduced to target Jackson...
At this time on the court, facing Robinson's back-up, Su Feng was unmoved.
Because although Su Feng's current strength of 57 can only be considered mid-range among the league's forwards and guards, Robinson lacks the strength to budge Su Feng when he can use the HC rules.
In short, this guy's butt isn't big enough...
Su Feng not only stood firmly, but also forced Robinson to be unable to turn around.
This situation, where Su Feng was holding him back and forcing a 50-50 situation, made Robinson, the top pick, feel very dishonorable...
So Robinson used his shoulders and elbows, and barely squeezed open Su Feng to get a chance to turn around and jump shot.
And that is precisely the purpose of Su Feng's defense.
As long as you make the opponent uncomfortable when shooting, after all, Robinson is also an All-Star player, how is it possible to prevent him from even being able to shoot.
Clang!
In the restricted area, Williams used a Rukawa-style rebound to protect the backcourt rebound.
It is worth mentioning that in "Slam Dunk", Rukawa Kaede has a rebounding scene that is based on Williams.
Williams, who participated in the Bulls' first dynasty, isn't incapable, but he lacks motivation...
That sounds very annoying, but it is the truth.
The 76ers attack, Iverson dribbles forward.
Su Feng remembers that Iverson will perform very well in this debut game in his previous life.
Of course, on the defensive end, it is impossible to expect Iverson to defend.
In the preseason, Su Feng discovered the Bucks' strategy for dealing with Iverson, which was to let Douglas and Iverson exchange blows with each other.
It's just that Su Feng came off the bench in that game, giving Douglas a lot of opportunities to show off.
In this game, it is easy for Douglas to get past Iverson, but it is difficult to get past Su Feng...
Clang!
On the court, Iverson scored the first point for the 76ers.
This is a scene rarely seen by Chinese fans in front of the TV.
Because when Iverson used a crossover to shake off Douglas and break into the inside...
Chinese fans in front of the TV were thinking: This little guy number 3 is so damn fast!
However, before the Chinese fans could shout "holy crap", Iverson was already flying in the air.
Even though they have seen this kind of dunk by Iverson countless times, to be honest...
Iverson's jumping ability is really too exaggerated.
His take-off height is like cheating, it looks fake.
"Hey, this little guy can really dunk?" On the Celestial Dynasty TV station, Sun Zhengping commented.
Zhang Weiping wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This is Allen Iverson, the top pick in the 1996 draft, with excellent dribbling ability, amazing jumping ability, and extremely fast speed."
"Director Zhang, Iverson said in an interview before that he was selected by the 76ers to assist Su Feng. What do you think about this?" Sun Zhengping suddenly asked.
Zhang Weiping was silent for a long time, "Maybe this is a joke between young people."
"But later, the 76ers management confirmed that this was true." Sun Zhengping tried hard to show the homework he had done before the game.
"Let's first look at this Bucks' attack.
Hey, good shot! Su Feng is really fast in this play. Robinson wanted to break through head-on, but he couldn't get past!" Zhang Weiping hurriedly changed the subject.
"Director Zhang..." Sun Zhengping originally wanted to continue to ask, but the situation on the court changed suddenly. After Robinson failed to break through Su Feng, he wanted to pass the ball back to Douglas.
Iverson jumped and grabbed the ball into his arms. Tonight's Ai is in top form!
Clang!
This was a one-stop dunk.
And this one was even more ruthless...
Iverson's take-off height was very high in this play. He grabbed the ball with one hand and slammed the ball into the basket.
The Zhongzhou Arena instantly exploded!
"Allen——————Iverson!!"
On the sidelines, Ann Iverson danced excitedly.
At this time, Sun Zhengping commented: "As you can see, the camera is on this fat black woman. Perhaps the cameraman thought her dance was unique?"
Zhang Weiping broke out in cold sweat, "This is Iverson's mother, Ann Iverson."
"Oh, it turns out it's Iverson's mother, then she must have been amazed by her son's performance," Sun Zhengping added.
Zhang Weiping: "..."
On the court, Iverson was very excited after completing two consecutive dunks. Having grown dreadlocks in advance, he was obviously more domineering when dunking.
The Bucks attack, Ray Allen ran out of an opportunity this time and ended the attack with a "stepping on the line three-pointer" with the characteristics of the era.
2 to 4.
After being taught by Su Feng, Stackhouse is now willing to defend.
But his defensive ability is limited, especially his poor reading of the defense.
The 76ers attack, still Iverson controlling the ball.
"Iverson and Su Feng are known as the 'Golden Double Guns' by the American media. Now one gun has been fired, let's see when Su Feng's gun will fire," Sun Zhengping said with a smile.
On the court, Su Feng first ran at a constant speed, and then suddenly turned and accelerated.
His sudden start caught Robinson off guard. The Bucks' defensive focus was all on Iverson, and the inside was very empty.
Iverson discovered Su Feng's flowing hairstyle at first sight. This was a connection between dreadlocks and a rooster head!
Who said hairstyles have no effect?
Iverson's alley-oop was thrown just right. Su Feng, who followed up, was not polite. He jumped into the air and dunked after grabbing the ball with a big hand that Kobe envied and was jealous of!
2 to 6!
This is Su Feng's first career goal!
An assist from Iverson!
It's a pity that there is no online live broadcast or barrage at this time, otherwise, the most common words on the barrage would definitely be "take a group photo."
In front of the TV, the 9.6 million square kilometers of land instantly trembled.
Not giving Sun Zhengping a chance to speak, Zhang Weiping said excitedly: "This is the first goal scored by our Chinese player Su Feng in his NBA career!"
Zhongzhou Arena, Philadelphia fans are almost crying...
What is talent?
This, is talent!
Three attacks, three dunks, Golden Double Guns, I love it!
Su Feng didn't expect his first career goal to be a dunk either.
Because he originally thought it would be a three-pointer or a mid-range shot, or through a free throw...
And Su Feng at this moment would never have imagined that his future would be inextricably linked with dunks.
On the court, the Bucks attacked. At this time, the 76ers' morale was boosted, and Bucks coach Ford was already considering whether to call a timeout.
Fortunately, Robinson stood up and stopped the team's decline. He hit a bank shot from the side at a 45-degree angle.
Su Feng felt that this game was really full of the atmosphere of the era.
Because these outside offensive methods of Robinson are difficult to find after the HC rules disappear.
The 76ers attack, Iverson really did get past in one step...
Douglas had no temper at all. He was passed over in this kind of one-on-one breakthrough that didn't even require a pick-and-roll. What could he do?
However, the Bucks' inside line contracted in time. Iverson had no chance after breaking in and was blocked by Vin Baker.
But...
Vin Baker blocked this ball just right.
Because he blocked it right to Su Feng on the perimeter.
Robinson had just been trying to help on the inside, so Su Feng inexplicably got an open three-point opportunity...
Perhaps, that's what it's like to be handsome?
Su Feng made a clean shot, a three-pointer!
After Iverson scored 4 points in a row, Su Feng also scored 5 points in a row.
On the sidelines, the Bucks called a timeout.
Chinese fans in front of the TV were very excited.
At this moment, most Chinese fans didn't know who Robinson was, let alone who Vin Baker was, but they knew that the one wearing the 76ers number 23 jersey...
Was Chinese!
In fact, Su Feng had no idea how much impact his opening dunk and shot would have on the future...
Especially on that little giant who is now asked to go to sleep by his coach every day.
"Brother Feng... is so awesome!"
...
