Chapter 1 Mills's Lament

　　Philadelphia. By the time Mills arrived at Su Feng's training base, this future coach of Bolt was itching to unleash a Jamaican curse.

　　"You, you, you..."

　　After meeting Su Feng, Mills felt like he was about to die of frustration.

　　Especially after pinching Su Feng's buttocks, thighs, and calves a few times each, and making Su Feng do a short-distance sprint, Mills couldn't bear it any longer.

　　What a waste!

　　"You're wasting your talent!

　　You're throwing gold into the rubble and don't even realize it!

　　You're ruining and demeaning yourself!"

　　Mills's Jamaican English wasn't quite that fluent, but translated, that was roughly the gist of it.

　　Mills was going crazy.

　　Because in his opinion, if he had four years, he could get Su Feng onto the Olympic stage!

　　If Su Feng was willing to give him eight years, then he would produce an athlete who could win an Olympic medal!

　　Okay, Mills admitted that this view was a bit exaggerated, and even had the intention of coaxing Su Feng into sprinting.

　　But the discerning Mills did see at a glance that Su Feng was a once-in-a-lifetime sprinting prodigy.

　　Although Chinese 100-meter athletes had never run under 10 seconds at this time, Mills firmly believed in his judgment.

　　He believed that Su Feng was sent by God to tell the world: Asians can fly too!

　t doubt Mills's vision, because the future Bolt, who loved to eat junk food and had a lazy personality, was brought out by him.

　　Moreover, after the system maxed out his speed talent, Su Feng himself could feel those changes that had recently occurred in his body.

　　In short...

　　Mills's judgment was right.

　　Because the template for Su Feng's speed was that future Jamaican flyer who broke the limits of humanity.

　　"No, you absolutely can't play basketball, it's too wasteful!"

　　Mills vowed that he would make Su Feng switch to sprinting!

　　What's the point of playing basketball? Breaking the limits of humanity is the meaning of life, damn it!

　　Su Feng was helpless. Honestly, he didn't expect Mills to be such a dreamer.

　　"I'm not going to sprint," Su Feng said, looking at Mills.

　　The not-so-tall Mills was almost crying...

　　He turned to look at Mancias, Frazier, Alan Stein, and Ben Wallace, who was currently eating a sandwich, "You all be the judge!

　　He... he's hiding his light under a bushel!"

　　At that moment, the three tools looked up at the sky with great understanding. Huh?

　　What's sprinting?

　　If Su Feng doesn't play basketball, who will support us?

　　To hell with the sprinting dream, basketball is the way to go!

　　As for Big Ben...

　　Noticing that Mills was looking at him, Big Ben, who didn't understand the situation, looked at Mills and said, "Su, Su is right!"

　　Mills: "..."

　　Oh, heavens! Oh, earth!

　　Why did I, Mills, have to discover such a sprinting prodigy, but he wants to play basketball?

　　For Mills, who had been engaged in sprinting for decades, his lifelong dream was to cultivate a flyer who could break the limits of humanity.

　　But...

　　It was hard, too hard.

　　"Okay, let's talk business. I want to improve my short-distance sprint speed.

　　Mainly the 3/4 court sprint speed," Su Feng said, patting the dejected Mills on the shoulder.

　　"What?" Mills was shocked. With such a strong talent, you only want to train...

　　Such a short distance?

　　"I'm a basketball player, not a sprinter. What's 100 meters?

　　What's 200 meters? I'm not interested anyway."

　　Su Feng's voice was very calm at this moment, but in Mills's ears, every word Su Feng said was like a sharp knife piercing his chest.

　　Su Feng knew that Mills would meet another once-in-a-lifetime sprinting prodigy in the future.

　　So he looked at Mills and smiled, "How about I double what I promised you before?"

　　Mills's eyes lit up, and he immediately threw the so-called dream aside, "This short-distance sprint, let me tell you..."

　　In this way, under Mills's guidance, Su Feng's pleasant "sprint" training began.

　　…

　　A week later, when the 76ers' Summer League team was preparing to depart, Su Feng couldn't be happier looking at his soaring speed attribute.

　　A sprinting genius with terrifying talent, but who had never received formal sprint training.

　　Plus the cooperation of the system's supreme nutrient solution...

　　Before Su Feng prepared to leave for Long Beach, Su Feng's sprint training results shocked the entire "Iron Forging Squad."

　　"The host's current speed attribute is 80 [120]. The classification is as follows:

　　Off-ball movement speed: 82, acceleration with the ball 75, maximum sprint speed 83."

　　In fact, Su Feng knew what was going on with this wave of improvement.

　　Because when the gap between ability and potential is huge, this kind of soaring is normal.

　　After all, Su Feng's various physical functions had already laid a good foundation with the help of Mancias and the others.

　　To put it bluntly, his physical talent had already broken the ceiling for Asians in a certain sense.

　　You know, before Mills came, Su Feng's speed attribute had already increased by several points on its own.

　　However, this time Su Feng's off-ball movement and maximum sprint speed increased a lot, but his acceleration with the ball was limited by his dribbling and ball control, and had not yet broken through the 80 threshold.

　　Su Feng planned to use a month and a half to break through the 90 mark for off-ball speed and maximum sprint speed after returning from Long Beach.

　　As the current ability value increases, it is difficult for Su Feng's ability value to increase as quickly as before.

　　But after checking the speed attributes of Lao Liu Mang (Old Rogue) and Iverson, Su Feng knew that the 90 speed attribute was a threshold in the NBA.

　　Su Feng's current speed among the NBA's current perimeter players is excellent, but not first-class. (Referring to current ability, not potential)

　　Therefore, whether he can use his exaggerated speed talent to break through the 90 limit this summer is crucial for Su Feng.

　　In addition, without switching to sprinting, Su Feng estimates that his future speed can be maintained at around 100 at most.

　　After all, Su Feng will definitely gradually increase his weight to 100 kilograms in the future.

　　In this reasonable system, ability values are interlocked with each other, so in Su Feng's view, taking a comprehensive development path with some specializations is the way to go.

　　Moreover, to be fair, if Su Feng can train his speed to 100 in the future, then he will definitely be a jet in the NBA.

　　It is worth mentioning that Mills was sad again when he saw Su Feng leave the training base.

　　In fact, Su Feng could understand Mills's mood very well.

　　Because it was the same as those coaches who couldn't persuade Iverson and Big Ben to play football back then.

　　It's just a pity that Su Feng's only love in both his previous and current lives is basketball.

　　…

　　Speaking of which, this year's 76ers' roster for the Long Beach Summer League is luxurious to the extreme.

　　In addition to Iverson, Su Feng, and Big Ben...

　　There's also Mark Hendrickson, a white big man the 76ers selected with the second pick in the second round of the 1996 draft, Frank King, a small guard who played for the Lakers last year, and Joe Courtney, a forward with experience wandering around multiple NBA teams. (The 76ers had two second-round picks in the 1996 draft, another was given to the Hornets when they traded for Su Feng)

　　In short, with this roster, there's only one thing to say when they're pulled out in the Summer League: who will take second place, you can sort it out yourselves?

　　Su Feng remembers that in his previous life, this 76ers team was the champion of this Long Beach Summer League.

　　In this life, after joining forces with Big Ben, Su Feng feels that winning the championship is no longer a difficult task. The only thing he's looking forward to is the game between the 76ers and the Lakers in the Summer League.

　　Um...

　　To be able to openly and justly beat Kobe once, for Su Feng, what a happy, pleasant, and high thing that is!

　　It is worth mentioning that, as Su Feng remembered, the Chinese men's basketball team will also participate in this Long Beach Summer League.

　　They will play against the Lakers and then fly to Atlanta to participate in the Olympic Games.

　　In Su Feng's previous life, there was a reason why the Lakers were so popular in China.

　　In fact, Old Buss was one of the first league owners to respond to Stern's call to open up the Chinese market.

　　Because in '97, the Lakers will also play a game with the Chinese men's basketball team.

　　The future Mavericks can only be regarded as latecomers, and that was already after Old Nelson moved into the Mavericks.

　　Old Nelson is definitely an oddity in the coaching world, because in his opinion, whether they are Asian, African, European, or American players...

　　As long as they can play run-and-gun, they are good players in his eyes.

　　In '98 and '00, the Mavericks will send out invitations to Hu Weidong twice in a row, because compared to Wang Zhizhi, Old Nelson is more interested in Hu Weidong's talent.

　　Taking this Summer League in '96 as an example, the game between the Chinese men's basketball team and the Lakers was both Kobe's breakthrough game and the battle that shocked American reporters.

　　Su Feng has seen the reports at the time and felt that the Chinese and American reporters were just blowing each other.

　　The Chinese reporters, led by Xu Jicheng, Zhang Weiping, and Su Junyang, all believed that Kobe, who was only 17 years and 11 months old, had unlimited potential.

　　And the American reporters unanimously believed that Hu Weidong, who was 26 years old, would definitely be able to play in the NBA.

　　At the Atlanta Olympics not long after, Hu Weidong will once again prove the vision of the American reporters.

　　Because at that time, in the game against the American team, Hu Weidong completed a steal and completed a gliding dunk that you haven't seen for many years:

　　A Chinese guard's gliding dunk on the international stage.

　　Su Feng is not praising the old and belittling the new, but to be fair, if it weren't for him, Hu Weidong would definitely be the ceiling for Chinese guards.

　　At the '96 Atlanta Olympics, Hu Weidong was able to score 13 points per game in 24 minutes of average playing time.

　　And his shooting percentage was an amazing 72%, and his three-point percentage was 47%.

　　You know, his shooting percentage at that time was only two percentage points lower than his free throw percentage.

　　During the golden generation, there has always been a joke in the Chinese men's basketball team, called Liu Yudong in domestic wars, and Hu Weidong in foreign wars.

　　Hu Weidong's excellent physical fitness made him not suffer losses when facing European and American guards, and he also had a beautiful fadeaway jumper.

　　In his previous life, Su Feng specifically looked for the American commentary videos at that time. The American commentators at that time believed that Hu Weidong would have a place even in the NBA.

　　Even in the future, when Hu Weidong was 35 years old, he also did things like scoring 55 points in a single game and ravaging young people in the CBA.

　　So Su Feng felt that Wang Shipeng's crying and spraying was not wrong, because some people are not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as these legendary names in men's basketball.

　　And just when Su Feng and others were going to Long Beach, the 76ers' manager's office, Klaus was complaining to Berlinberg.

　　"It's strange, why did the Chinese men's basketball team accept the invitation for the game with the Lakers?"

　　This time, after learning that the Chinese men's basketball team was preparing to participate in the Long Beach Summer League, the 76ers also sent an invitation to the Chinese men's basketball team.

　　Although Klaus is not optimistic about the Chinese market, in Klaus's opinion, the 76ers have Su Feng, and playing a game with the Chinese men's basketball team should be a good gimmick.

　　It's a pity that Su Feng doesn't know Klaus's thoughts, otherwise Su Feng would definitely tell him, how could the Chinese men's basketball team accept the game invitation with the 76ers?

　　If they win, it's fine, but what if they lose? How do you think the domestic media will criticize the Basketball Association at that time?

　　Why didn't you recruit Su Feng to play in the Olympics?

　　The Basketball Association is not stupid. The men's basketball team is still playing a long-term training system at this time.

　　This group of players has been working together for so long, and the Basketball Association also has to balance the interests of the sports associations in various provinces.

　　After all, in the 90s, it was a glorious event to participate in the Olympic Games, which would involve many 404 factors...

　　Therefore, the Basketball Association cannot change generals before the battle, so it is impossible to agree to the game with the 76ers.

　　Therefore, history is still following its due trajectory under various coincidences.

　　It's just...

　　Su Feng's appearance is also stirring up a huge butterfly effect in an invisible way.

　　…

　　On the 14th, after the team arrived in Long Beach to assemble, the two assistant coaches, Jason and Rick, made a clear division of labor. Jason was responsible for the training of Iverson, Su Feng, and others, while Rick was responsible for taking others.

　　There's no way, this is the so-called status.

　　Some temporary workers who were temporarily recruited by the 76ers were even greeted by Rick, saying that whoever dares not pass the ball to Iverson and Su Feng in the game will be kicked out immediately.

　　After all, if these bastards dare to mess around, then the next to be kicked out will be Jason and Rick.

　　And when training separately, Su Feng looked at Big Ben a little "reluctantly"...

　　Ah...

　　Labor's Iron Forging value!

　　"Coach, I'm a little tired these two days, can I rest?" Iverson asked, looking at Jason.

　　"Of... of course you can!" Jason said to Iverson in a gentle tone.

　　Seeing this scene, Su Feng remembered an interesting story when Larry Brown came to teach the 76ers in his previous life...

　　At that time, according to the agreement, Iverson was originally going to meet Brown in the morning, but Iverson didn't come in the morning...

　　Later, it was said that Iverson would come at noon, but when it came to noon, Iverson still didn't come.

　　Finally, in the evening, it was confirmed that Iverson would not come today.

　　"Coach, Allen is joking, don't listen to him." Heh, where am I going to find a tool if you don't train?

　　I saw Su Feng grab Iverson and walk into the gym.

　　Jason was stunned when he saw this scene, "You... don't have a conflict."

　　"It's okay, coach, Allen and I have a good relationship."

　　Su Feng knew that Iverson was eyeing the sun and beaches of Long Beach, so he didn't give Iverson a chance to resist him at all.

　　And with Su Feng's big elbow on his neck, Iverson couldn't even beg for mercy, let alone refute him.

　　"Okay, Allen, I know you're not the kind of lazy player, and I have something to ask you."

　　After dragging Iverson into the gym, Su Feng smiled, looking at Ai, who looked reluctant.

　　Iverson, who was originally a little unhappy, immediately became serious when he heard that Su Feng had something to ask him, because in Iverson's subconscious, a brother's business is his own business.

　　"I want to learn a few breakthrough skills from you." Su Feng asked curiously.

　　"I didn't teach you Crossover and..." This time, before Iverson finished speaking, Su Feng interrupted him.

　　"I know, but... I want to use something more practical and simple!"

　　Su Feng's face turned red. His current dribbling potential has increased to 64. It is possible to show off in the Summer League, but what Su Feng wants to learn...

　　Is how to use his speed most effectively to get rid of his opponent's close pressing.

　　Because... the 76ers are going to play the Lakers in this Summer League!

　　"Simple and practical?" Iverson touched his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly thought of something...

　　"Su, it's easy for you to grab the ball with one hand, right?" Iverson said, looking at Su Feng.

　　Su Feng nodded, and also grabbed a basketball on the ground with his hand, and swung it several times in the air.

　　"In this way, you stand like this, yes, when attacking, you grab the ball with your left or right hand.

　　Remember to grab the ball behind you, if the opponent rushes you, you do this..." Iverson pointed out to Su Feng.

　　In addition to teaching Su Feng this trick, Iverson also taught Su Feng a few simple and rough tricks.

　　"These are the best tricks I liked to use when I was a beginner." Iverson blinked his big eyes and said, looking at Su Feng.

　　Su Feng: "..."

　　What, Allen, can you not say it so heartbreakingly?

　　Su Feng felt his heart hurt.

　　But for some reason, Su Feng felt very happy at this moment.

　t know why, but Su Feng felt happy at this moment.

　　Perhaps, this is the so-called pain and happiness!

　　…

　　A few minutes later...

　　"Your speed has improved a little too fast..."

　　On the court, Iverson said in surprise, looking at Su Feng, who was practicing his "unique one-step move."

　　When practicing the ultimate sprint before, Su Feng let Iverson go because he already had Big Ben, a tool.

　　As a result, after witnessing Su Feng's ball-hugging three-step kill today, Iverson felt that he could teach Su Feng another trick.

　　"Su, come here, I'll teach you a trick."

　　Iverson is like this, Su Feng found out that he doesn't dislike training, but because he likes freedom more than training.

　　In other words, he will only train when he wants to train.

　　Recently, after the relationship with Iverson has been warming up, Su Feng has tried to "hook" Iverson with a sandwich.

　　Unfortunately, the effect is not good, because Iverson is not greedy, but he is too eager for "freedom."

　　However, after teaching Su Feng for a while, Iverson also wanted to play basketball, so he looked at Su Feng and said, "Let's play two one-on-one games."

　　Su Feng nodded, thinking that he could use these breakthrough skills in actual combat.

　　In this way, Su Feng may not have noticed that he has gone further and further on the road of carrying an explosive pack and rushing into the restricted area...

　　…

　　Two days later, the 76ers ushered in their first game in the Long Beach Summer League, against the Suns.

　　The biggest star of this Suns team is Su Feng's "sock brother" Steve Nash.

　　It is worth mentioning that Nash was talking and laughing with Su Feng before the game started.

　　As a result, after the game started, Su Feng used the opportunity of pick-and-roll with Iverson to trap Nash and beat him up.

　　Nash, yell, even if you yell your throat, Marion will not come to save you!

　　Su Feng was excited, because of his new iron friendship with Iverson, so don't say it, Iverson really fed Su Feng a lot of cakes in the game.

　　Perhaps, this is the magnetic attraction between iron kings?

　　Big Ben also got 20 minutes of playing time because of his relationship with Su Feng.

　　And as the saying goes, gold always shines. After Big Ben played, the 76ers' two assistant coaches, Jason and Rick, never expected that this guy was simply a "shouter"!

　　In the usual training, Su Feng has been instilling the concept of brutality to Big Ben.

　　And after treating Su Feng, a "big flicker" who is four years younger than him, as his new big brother, Big Ben firmly believes that what Su Feng said is right.

　　So, Big Ben, who already looks ferocious, will roar to the sky every time he grabs a rebound or completes a block.

　　Nothing else, just this deterrence, it's directly full.

　　Don't you see that even Nash doesn't dare to go to the 76ers' basket?

　　"Ben seems to have some skills." Coach Jason said with emotion.

　　"We can give him more time next, and you see how well he matches with Allen and Su." Rick added.

　　In fact...

　　With Big Ben's style, how could he not match with Su Feng and Iverson?

　　You shoot iron and I grab it, I pass it to you and you shoot iron again.

　　The Suns' inside player in this Summer League is a white meat shield with a height of 210 cm and a weight of 120 kg. How could he stop Big Ben with his 5 cm jump and soft body?

　　In this way, the 76ers defeated the Suns 112-80 in the first game.

　　Su Feng scored 30 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, and 0 assists;

　　Iverson got 31 points, 10 assists, and 4 steals;

　　Big Ben played 20 minutes and got a strange statistic of 0 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 steals, 3 assists, and 5 fouls.

　　After the game, when seeing the technical statistics, Su Feng was fortunate that there were no keyboard warriors at this time, otherwise he could imagine what kind of hat he would be labeled with by the fans after the game.

　　Su doesn't pass, Ai throws wildly, Ben doesn't attack...

　　Don't say, this 76ers Summer League "Iron" triangle has a pretty good chemical reaction.

　　After the game, Nash was a little uncomfortable, because he only got 8 points and 4 assists in this game, and his performance was terrible.

　　"Steve, don't think so much, you have to believe in yourself!" In order to save this "sock diplomacy," Su Feng touched Nash's head and comforted him after the game.

　　Nash nodded, feeling a little better.

　　…

　　Speaking of which, after the game with the Suns, Su Feng also accepted an interview with Su Junyang.

　　There's nothing to say about the content of the interview. Anyway, Su Feng believes that Su Junyang, this Su fan, will only praise him.

　　However, at the end of the interview, Su Junyang asked Su Feng curiously if he would go to see the men's basketball game against the Lakers tomorrow.

　　"I won't go to see it, I have to train tomorrow." Su Feng has seen various highlights and GIF images of this game in his previous life, and he knows how good Kobe and Hu Weidong will be.

　　You know, since Iverson helped him open the door to dribbling, and Su Feng saw a new world, Su Feng is now busy going to sea to find one piece...

　　Ah no, Su Feng is busy making a surprise for Kobe.

　　And Su Feng doesn't want to "make trouble" for the leaders of the Basketball Association, after all, this summer is very critical for his self-improvement.

　　Su Feng is very clear that even if he really joins this national team, this men's basketball team will only be in the top eight in this Olympic Games at best.

　　Therefore, Su Feng, who knows what's what, continued to give the Basketball Association a big thumbs up.

　　And when he heard that Su Feng would not go to see the men's basketball game, Su Junyang originally thought that there might be some misunderstanding between Su Feng and the national team...

　　But after seeing Su Feng's sincere big eyes, Su Junyang felt that Su Feng was not such a petty person.

　　"I really hope to see Little Su wearing the national team jersey in the future!" Su Junyang thought to himself with emotion.

　　…

　　The next day, as Su Feng remembered, the Chinese men's basketball team's entire backcourt was blown up by Kobe in the Summer League game against the Lakers.

　　Although many details of Kobe at this time have yet to be improved, his offensive combination punches have already begun to appear.

　　In the end, Kobe scored 36 points, and for a time, he shocked the Chinese reporters on the sidelines.

　　And Hu Weidong, like Su Feng remembered, got 30 points, becoming the only fig leaf in this game for the Chinese backcourt.

　　It's just that unlike in his previous life, because of Su Feng's appearance in this life, Xu Jicheng, Zhang Weiping, and the others had already learned about Kobe's power early on.

　　Therefore, in the news reports after the game, in addition to using words such as Nezha stirring the sea, the earth turning upside down, and going forward without hesitation to describe Kobe, Da Xu also typed a paragraph at the end of the article:

　　"This is Kobe Bryant, Su Feng's high school teammate. He wears the number 32 that Magic used to wear in the Summer League. He is omnipotent."

　　Obviously, Da Xu is also dissatisfied with why the Basketball Association didn't recruit Su Feng into the national team.

　　Because in Xu Jicheng's opinion, the Chinese team's backcourt can't even defend Kobe, so how can they compare with Su Feng?

　　And Zhang Weiping knew the truth, so he couldn't say anything and could only keep sighing.

　　It is worth mentioning that after this game, the Chinese men's basketball coaching staff, after hesitating for a while, head coach Gong Luming decided to stay and take a look at the game between the 76ers and the Lakers the day after tomorrow.

　　Don't be surprised, Gong Luming didn't have the idea of changing generals before the battle, but wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of sacred being Kobe's high school classmate, the Chinese player who was the 13th pick in the first round of the 1996 NBA draft, was.

　　And just when Gong Luming decided to stay and let the team leader lead the other players of the men's basketball team to Atlanta, on the court, Hu Weidong, who had specially learned a few words of English, walked to Kobe.

　　"Hi, hello, Kobe." After the game, Hu Weidong put on his glasses, which allowed him to see Kobe's appearance clearly.

　　"Hello." Although he didn't know Hu Weidong, Kobe was still very polite and greeted Hu Weidong when he thought of Su Feng.

　　"You are really great, Kobe." Hu Weidong gave Kobe a thumbs up and said.

　　Perhaps amused by Hu Weidong's awkward English, Kobe smiled and said, "You are also great, those fadeaway jumpers are very cool."

　　"Kobe, I heard that Su Feng used to beat you in one-on-one games?" Hu Weidong asked curiously.

　　Hearing Hu Weidong's question, Kobe was a little unhappy.

　　Because this question reminded Kobe of many unhappy memories.

　　Especially Su Feng "hurt" him in front of the camera at that time, and the recent call, Kobe could never forget.

　　But...

　　Seeing the curious Hu Weidong, and after playing this game, Kobe was also very strange why the Chinese men's basketball team didn't recruit Su Feng, so Kobe felt that he should not bother with that cheap man Su Feng for the time being.

　　"Yes, he often beats me." After thinking for a while, Kobe replied.

　　Often...?

　　Hu Weidong was stunned.

　　Because after playing against the Lakers today, he learned from Da Xu and Zhang Weiping that Kobe was only 17 years old, and this Lakers team was just a Summer League team, which was far from a real NBA team.

　　So when he learned that Su Feng had really single-killed Kobe in one-on-one games, Hu Weidong suddenly had an urge to stay.

　　So, after chatting with Kobe, Hu Weidong looked at Gong Luming and said, "Coach Gong, I want to stay too."

　　Gong Luming thought for a while. He knew that Hu Weidong was interested in the NBA, so he couldn't say anything, "Okay, you can stay and use it as a reference."

　　Hu Weidong nodded, his expression full of anticipation for the upcoming game between the Lakers and the 76ers.
