After Su Feng explained to him for nearly an hour, Hu Weidong was silent for a long time...

"Thank you, Xiao Su. I won't take up any more of your time. Go and do your interview." After recovering, Hu Weidong patted Su Feng on the shoulder and said.

Su Feng: "..."

Lao Hu, do you think that after all this time, there will still be reporters who want to interview me?

Hey, you know what? There really were.

Aren't Xu Jicheng, Zhang Weiping, and Su Junyang standing over there reporters?

"Xiao Su, I'm not someone who dithers. Actually, I've already made up my mind.

I'm definitely coming to the NBA, but before I come, I still want to help the Jiangsu team win a CBA championship first."

Before saying goodbye, Hu Weidong said to Su Feng with a serious expression.

CBA championship...

Okay, it's not that Su Feng wanted to discourage Hu Weidong, but it was just too difficult to win a CBA championship in this era.

If Su Feng remembered correctly, in his previous life, Yao Ming averaged 41.3 points, 21 rebounds, and 4.3 blocks in the CBA Finals.

And even with those stats, the Shanghai team only won the championship because Wang Zhizhi went to the NBA.

The Bayi Dynasty was terrifying.

After listening to Hu Weidong's words, Su Feng didn't try to dissuade him.

Because this was the path Lao Hu had chosen, and he would have to walk it even if he had to cry.

But before parting, because the system had notified him that Hu Weidong's favorability toward him had reached the standard...

So Su Feng, who currently had nearly three years' worth of nutritional supplements extracted from his home, decided to let Lao Hu help him eliminate this damned "non-chief product."

Don't ask, just know that his hands were itching.

According to the system's rules, Supreme Nutritional Solution cannot be shared with others.

But ordinary nutritional solutions can be shared as long as the relationship meets the standard.

This ordinary nutritional solution has a certain effect of restoring physical fitness. In Su Feng's view, it is definitely more reliable than those health products sold on the market.

During this period, the men's basketball team would often continue playing even with minor injuries, working themselves to death...

Therefore, in Su Feng's mind, it would be great if this nutritional solution could help Lao Hu reduce some "pressure."

So, Su Feng said to Hu Weidong, "Lao Hu, I'll send you some health products from the United States after a while. Remember to drink them."

Hu Weidong smiled and said, "Okay, then when you come back next time, I'll take you to eat hairy crabs."

Hu Weidong did not refuse Su Feng's kindness.

He had even thought about it. In the future, when the men's basketball team called up Su Feng, if anyone wanted to ostracize Su Feng, he would give up his spot on the national team to Su Feng.

In Hu Weidong's view, Su Feng was only 18 years old now, but he had to work hard alone in a foreign country. It wasn't easy.

He absolutely couldn't let some people chill the hearts of people like Su Feng who harbored basketball dreams.

……

The Long Beach Summer League was still going on, and just as Su Bu-chuan, Ai Lang-tou, and Ben Bu-gong continued to perform "The Philadelphia Iron Triangle Storms Long Beach" in Long Beach...

The American men's basketball team, which would be known as "Dream Team III" in the future, had arrived in Atlanta.

Compared to the "Dream Team I" that swept Barcelona four years ago, the depth of the American men's basketball team, playing on home soil four years later, was equally exaggerated.

In Su Feng's previous life, many people even believed that this Dream Team III had the most powerful interior lineup in the history of the American men's basketball team.

Because in addition to Ewing, the other three of the Four Great Centers were all on the roster for the American men's basketball team's Olympic Games.

In addition, in this Dream Team III, the American men's basketball team also had gods like Barkley and Malone.

However, just after these "millionaires" arrived in Atlanta...

In addition to discussing women, luxury cars, and mansions with their teammates in a boring and tasteless manner, the most frequent topic of conversation was about that big guy from Wake Forest...

Recruiting college rookies into training camp was a consistent tradition of the American men's basketball team, because before the Olympics allowed professional basketball players to participate, American college students had held up a sky for American basketball.

So, two weeks ago, during the American men's basketball team's training camp, Dream Team III's coach, Wilkens, specially recruited Tim Duncan from Wake Forest.

Initially, when Wilkens arranged for Duncan to play against the super stars of Dream Team III, O'Neal joked as usual.

"Hey, coach, aren't you afraid that I'll break this rising star of American basketball?" O'Neal joked playfully.

After listening to O'Neal's words, Wilkens felt that it seemed to make sense.

After all, Duncan was only a junior in college at this time.

Although he was touted as being extremely exaggerated in the scouting report, but when he thought about the monsters he was going to face next...

Wilkens wanted to seek Duncan's opinion based on the idea of putting people first.

"The action of force is mutual." Duncan looked at the coach and answered.

Wilkens was dumbfounded.

And next, not only O'Neal, and not only the members of the American Dream Team III...

The reporters who were watching and a few scouts who had sneaked in based on relationships were shocked by the scene in front of them.

The first five-on-five full-court scrimmage, 15 minutes, Duncan faced O'Neal, O'Neal got 16 points and 8 rebounds, and what about Duncan?

He turned in a score of 10 points and 6 rebounds.

The second five-on-five full-court scrimmage, 15 minutes, Duncan faced Olajuwon, Olajuwon got 14 points and 7 rebounds, and this time, Duncan got 12 points and 8 rebounds.

What does it mean to be at your peak before your debut?

Standing on the side, Admiral Robinson commented in surprise, "If Marcus Camby only needs to spend some time after entering the league to become an excellent center, then Tim...

Once he joins the league, the league's interior players will need to be re-ranked."

Looking at Duncan, who was playing back and forth with the Dream and the Shark in the training camp, the scouts at the scene were in an uproar.

In Su Feng's previous life, people always liked to question Duncan.

But those who questioned Duncan were actually questioning the intelligence of the entire 90s, the NBA's 29 teams, 29 general managers, 29 head coaches, and all NBA scouts and NBA fans.

Oh, no...

There was really a team's fans who felt that the team's top pick in the 1997 draft shouldn't be used to select Duncan.

Um...

These fans were the San Antonio people who would select him in the future.

Because at that time, the Spurs had Admiral Robinson, one of the Four Great Centers, so in a voting event before the start of the draft, more than 65% of the Spurs fans believed that the team should choose Van Horn, who was touted by Auerbach as being almost deified, to partner with Robinson.

Fortunately, the fans were funny, but the Spurs front office wasn't.

Otherwise, this wouldn't just be a slap in the face...

As the saying goes, twenty years of blood earned, fifty years of no loss.

Tim Duncan, before even joining the league, had already made his name known throughout the NBA.

Boston, when Auerbach obtained the video from the training camp through connections, he excitedly said to Miller Karl, the Celtics' coach at the time, "Miller, next season, you only have one task."

Miller looked at Auerbach, who was still recuperating, and didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear of disturbing Auerbach.

But how could Auerbach, who was already 79 years old, look like an old man about to turn 80 at this time?

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his prime, the era of the Celtics dynasty, the era when he ruled the league.

"Forget all the honors, forget all the past!

Next season, the worse the team's record can be, the worse you should direct it." Auerbach patted Miller Karl on the shoulder.

Miller Karl was stunned by Auerbach's words, because he knew that although the Celtics were in a rebuilding period after Bird's retirement, the Celtics were still able to achieve 30+ wins in the 95/96 season, holding onto their past glory.

Miller Karl knew that there was only one reason why Auerbach was so excited.

That was Tim Duncan.

But what Auerbach didn't know was that Stern was almost scared to death when he found out about the Celtics' intentions in the future.

What are you talking about? You're already old, can't you retire?

If you come back and create another dynasty, how will these future coaches survive?

In Su Feng's previous life, Celtics fans always fantasized about what would happen if they had gotten the top pick that year.

But don't be afraid to poke all the Green Army fans' hearts.

Even if the Celtics had a 99.99% chance of drawing the top pick in the 1997 lottery, Stern wouldn't let such a thing happen.

Retire, Auerbach.

Red Auerbach, this era, has changed.

Of course, the reason why Stern was so flustered was not only because of Auerbach, because even the best chef needs ingredients to cook.

What really made Stern nervous was the combination of Auerbach + Duncan.

Many people in the future said that Stern didn't understand basketball, but even if he didn't understand basketball, Stern wasn't stupid. Wouldn't he read the news?

Time will prove everything.

A player who made the NBA First Team and the NBA All-Defensive Second Team in his rookie season, and won the championship and Finals MVP in his second season, making the NBA Defensive Player of the Year award a "joke"...

This was simply a reality that was more exaggerated and fantastical than a novel.

Perhaps, only that Ma, who claimed to be the number one power forward in the universe, could "question" Duncan.

……

There was still a year before the young Duncan landed in the NBA, and in Long Beach, the Philadelphia Iron Triangle had already let the people of Philadelphia see the team's hope for next season...

In the third game of the Summer League, Su Bu-chuan and Ai Lang-tou combined for 45 shots, but they still won the game despite missing 30 shots!

This time they defeated the Bucks, who had Ray Allen.

Ray Allen, who was selected by the Timberwolves in the draft, was then sent to the Bucks by the Timberwolves, completing a trade with Marbury.

On this day, Ray Allen's mood was despairing.

Because he shot 9 of 15 from the field, and with free throws, he scored an astonishing 28 points with amazing efficiency.

If the process of this game were to be condensed into a paragraph, it would be roughly as follows:

The 76ers and the Bucks fought, and the Bucks had a strong momentum. "Little Li Guang" Ray Allen shot without fail, as if entering an uninhabited land in the 76ers' army.

Seeing that the 76ers were showing signs of defeat, Su Feng stomped his feet and said, "I am finished today!"

Looking around, at this time, the general Ai was hit by several arrows and was already exhausted and out of the battle.

At the critical moment, Ben Wallace, a fierce general from Alabama, arrived on foot. Su Feng saw him and said, "Can you bring reinforcements?"

Ben Wallace shook his head and said, "No!"

Su Feng said again, "Do you have a good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Ben Wallace shook his head again and replied, "No!"

Seeing this, Su Feng could only sigh and say, "Heaven is going to kill me!"

At this time, Ben Wallace was seen leading Su Feng's horse on foot, saying, "Lord, don't panic. With me here, I will definitely not let that thief hurt you!"

Therefore, Ben Wallace was seen holding a "18,000-jin" heavy Fangtian Halberd, slashing several enemy generals in a row, greatly boosting the morale of the 76ers.

Su Feng was overjoyed and said, "I have General Ben Wallace from Alabama, who can kill Ray Allen!"

In this way, the 76ers defeated the Bucks 76-69.

Ben Wallace became famous in one battle, scoring 6 points, 25 rebounds, 6 blocks, 4 steals, and 3 assists.

After the game, Rick and Jason called head coach Davis and front office leader Krause as soon as possible.

In short, gold always shines.

And with excellent teammates like Su Feng and Iverson, it would be difficult for Ben Wallace not to succeed.

……

After defeating the Bucks, the 76ers took the opportunity to win the Long Beach Summer League championship in the last two summer league games.

Although it was only a summer league, there were still championship award ceremonies and awards.

Su Feng, Iverson, and Big Ben were all selected for the Long Beach Summer League First Team.

It is worth mentioning that when Su Feng saw the First Team of this Long Beach Summer League, he felt that the selection of this First Team was really full of gold.

Because in addition to the 76ers Iron Triangle, there was also the "nemesis" combination of Kobe and Ray Allen.

Iverson was named the MVP of this Summer League with an average of 29 points, 9.4 assists, and 3.4 steals per game.

Su Feng also put up excellent stats of 27 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.4 steals, and 1.4 blocks per game.

Of course, Su Feng felt that the most bizarre stats were still Big Ben's.

This guy was able to get 4.6 points, 16.2 rebounds, 3.8 blocks, 3.0 assists, and 2.4 steals per game.

When preparing to return to Philadelphia, Iverson also complained to Su Feng, "I might as well call you 'Lone Ranger' in the future.

Five games, and you didn't even have a single assist. Su, tell me, how did you do it?"

Su Feng's face turned red, and he said, "This... it's the shooting guard's business. I clearly passed the ball, but..."

Heavens, is there any justice in this world?

Su Feng, a player who serves the team, was actually called a 'Lone Ranger' by Iverson?

Damn Lone Ranger!

"Su, you know what, my agent just informed me that the 76ers are going to sign me!"

After playing in this summer league, the happiest person was probably Big Ben.

The 76ers front office wasn't stupid. When they looked at Big Ben's stats and their own weak interior...

Plus, Jason and Rick thought that Ben Wallace was a good fit with Su Feng and Iverson. Even if Krause didn't understand basketball, he knew that it would never be a loss to keep this excellent 'rejection head'.

"Well, when we get back to Philadelphia, there's still more than a month left. At that time, you'll train with me."

Looking at Big Ben's big elbows, for some reason, Su Feng suddenly felt a sense of "security".

In this way, "The Philadelphia Iron Triangle Storms Long Beach" came to an end.

Next, it was time to see who was more self-aware.

In Su Feng's previous life, you could tell whether some NBA players had worked hard in the summer or not as soon as the regular season started.

Although it was fun to score points in the Summer League, Su Feng was very clear that the Summer League was just a child's play compared to the real NBA.

After the Iron Triangle returned to Philadelphia, Big Ben first went to sign with the 76ers accompanied by his agent.

As Su Feng expected, the 76ers and Big Ben signed a two-year contract worth $700,000.

Every year, there would be amazing people appearing in the Summer League, but wanting to make up for the gap with those gifted players based on the performance of the Summer League?

That was impossible.

When signing with Big Ben, Krause felt that this guy was too daring to ask for it, 206 centimeters tall?

It didn't even look like this guy was taller than Su Feng...

And Big Ben was still very happy after being "squeezed", because in fact, being able to make it into the NBA was something that Big Ben had never dared to imagine before.

Su Feng knew that with the 76ers' current interior, Big Ben would probably get a big contract ahead of time in this life. If the 76ers wanted to keep Big Ben in the future, the difficulty would increase linearly.

However, Su Feng, who was only a rookie, couldn't interfere with the management's decisions, especially in this era when the relationship between labor and management was very tense.

If he wasn't careful, he would be labeled as a "troublemaker" by the team.

Anyway, spending money in the future was the capitalists' business. Su Feng, who had grown up living in the sunlight since he was a child, wouldn't feel sorry for these capitalists.

In addition, after signing the contract, Big Ben even had the idea of buying a house in Philadelphia.

I have to say...

Young man, you think you're rich with just $700,000?

Su Feng directly slapped Big Ben and scolded, "What are you buying a house for? Did you see me buying a house?

I'm still renting a house now. Don't waste money. Don't you know that basketball players rely on their youth?"

Big Ben felt very aggrieved, "Didn't I want to invite you to my house for parties in the future?"

Su Feng kicked him again and scolded, "Parties? You can't have parties if you rent a house?

And let me tell you, don't even think about having parties! Did you get a big contract now?

You're just an ordinary minimum salary, and me, the 13th pick in the first round of '96, did you see me slacking off?"

Big Ben felt that what Su Feng said made sense, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Su Feng then patted Big Ben on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Don't worry, I'll teach you how to make money in the future."

Big Ben's eyes lit up, "Really?"

Su Feng smiled, "Of course, otherwise, where do you think I got these training gyms and trainers from?"

Where did they come from...

Of course, they were scammed from his uncle...

I have to say, Su Feng discovered that since his skin had thickened, he had become more and more skilled at忽悠 (hū you, to coax, deceive, or swindle).

Big Ben listened to him, and as his number three tool man, Su Feng believed that Big Ben was also an object worthy of long-term investment.

Because when he grows up in the future, with the face of the Best Defensive Player, can the hitting value be low?

Speaking of which, after Big Ben signed with the 76ers, this guy originally wanted the number 6 jersey, but because the 76ers' number 6 jersey was also retired, Big Ben finally chose the number 4 jersey.

……

At the end of July, after Kobe settled the housing issue in Los Angeles, he decisively abandoned Brandy and went to Philadelphia.

"You broke up?" Su Feng said gloatingly when they met.

"Yeah, I told her I wouldn't have time to be with her next." Kobe said to Su Feng.

"Don't be sad, don't be sad, I'm just curious, did you finally get to first base?" Su Feng asked curiously.

Kobe suddenly blushed, and then his expression became a little exasperated, which made Su Feng on the side amused.

Su Feng felt that if Kobe could really remain chaste for Vanessa in the future, would Vanessa have to give him a certain fee?

Of course, Su Feng, who was familiar with the off-court lives of NBA players, knew very well that Kobe would have to wait several years to meet Vanessa, so it was impossible for Kobe to remain chaste.

On this day, the four "Iron Men" gathered in Philadelphia.

Ben Wallace with iron elbows, Kobe with an iron will, Iverson with an iron will, and Su Feng with an iron body, thus began their happy time to sprint toward the NBA.

……
