Silently Writing
Chapter 70 Trial Training
In April, besides honing his skills with Kobe, Su Feng also paid special attention to the regular season standings this season.
As a result, the rankings of each team were exactly the same as Su Feng remembered.
The Bulls achieved an NBA historical best record of 72 wins and 10 losses, shocking the league for a time.
NBC even claimed on its programs that this would be the greatest record in NBA history, a record that would be unprecedented and unmatched in the future.
If you don't look at this comment with the eyes of a time-traveler...
To be fair, this record is indeed exaggerated.
Because the NBA schedule is just too long.
To give a simple example, even if there is a team that can crush other opponents, they cannot guarantee that there will be no injuries and declines in form during the long season.
After the Bulls reigned supreme at the top of the regular season standings with invincible posture, the doubts about Jordan from a year ago have all turned into praise.
Many people believe that Jordan is the "God of Basketball" and cannot be defeated.
In the future, many people will say that Jordan became a god because of his second three-peat, but in fact, in the 95/96 season, he was already a god in the eyes of most people.
Su Feng knew that this Bulls team would quickly conquer the league with irresistible force.
If it weren't for the Knicks and the SuperSonics holding on three times, the Bulls might have even achieved a playoff winning streak and a championship myth.
In the season awards of the 95/96 season, the Bulls deservedly became the biggest winners.
Jordan averaged 30.4 points per game and regained his exclusive scoring title.
In addition, he also had an average of 6.6 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 2.2 steals per game, winning the regular season MVP for the fourth time in his career.
In the words of Su Feng, the keyboard warrior, in the 90s, praising the Bulls without going through the motions was the politically correct thing to do in this era.
...
There was still some time before the Bulls could win the championship.
On April 24, Su Feng met Su Junyang, Xu Jicheng, and Zhang Weiping again in the training hall he rented.
During his previous chat with Su Weiguo, Su Feng had a general idea of what his current situation was in China.
Because shortly after Su Feng decided to skip college and participate in the draft, in addition to the Da Tian Chao Sports Channel, he also appeared on the well-known News Broadcast.
Moreover, as the news coming back from the United States got better and better, Su Feng was already the Chinese Pippen in the hearts of Chinese basketball fans...
There was no way around it, the nickname Chinese Jordan had already been taken by Hu Weidong, the "glasses man."
In addition, in media reports, the media has been praising how good Su Feng's defense is...
For Chinese fans at this time, when they think of defense, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally Pippen.
It is worth mentioning that although Su Feng has become a hot topic, the Basketball Association has not expressed any intention to recruit Su Feng into the national team in many public occasions.
Su Feng was not surprised by this at all.
Because as a keyboard warrior, he knew very well the situation of Chinese basketball at this time.
The current Chinese men's basketball team is known as the Golden Generation in China. They reached the top 8 in the 1994 World Championships, and they will also reach the top 8 in the upcoming Atlanta Olympics.
Although the CBA was born in 1995, Su Feng knew that not to mention the current CBA, even the future CBA can only be regarded as a semi-professional league.
Because at this time, the national team was still playing the training camp system, and talents were promoted layer by layer through the sports associations and youth teams of various provinces and cities.
Simply put, if the Basketball Association recruits Su Feng, an outsider, then someone has to step down, right?
So the question is, is Su Feng strong enough now to lead the men's basketball team into the top four and win the top three as soon as he joins the team?
Obviously not.
So, if such an outsider is recruited, how can the balance be maintained?
Besides, these players have been training for so long, are you saying they can't play?
A certain future first power forward in the universe encountered this situation.
Of course, to put it complicatedly, what is involved here is the 404 issue.
So, Su Feng was not only not surprised that the Basketball Association did not recruit him, but also wanted to give the Basketball Association a thumbs up.
Su Feng knew very well that he didn't have the ability to play any reform, because this was a problem that even the future Yao Ming would find a headache.
Of course, Su Feng also knew that in the future, when his reputation grew, the Basketball Association would definitely not be able to withstand the pressure of public opinion.
But the question is, if the pressure of public opinion is so great, then what is Su Feng worried about?
At that time, with public opinion protecting him, plus the 404 background of the Su and Wang families, Su Feng only needs to concentrate on playing with Yao Ming and the Golden Generation.
But then again...
After careful consideration, Su Feng realized that his seniority in this life seemed to be a bit outrageous.
Because, in the future, Yao Ming might even have to call him Brother Feng...
Ahem, I'm digressing again, let's get down to business.
This time, the three-man squad didn't just come by themselves, they also brought a film crew from Da Tian Chao Television.
After getting a lot of material from his number one Su fan, Mark Ssen, the film crew of Da Tian Chao Television thought they should also film some of Su Feng's current situation.
"Don't be stressed, Xiao Su, this is just to promote you before the draft.
After all, if you are selected, you will be the first player in Chinese basketball history to enter the NBA."
Xu Jicheng, Zhang Weiping, and Su Junyang are all smart people, especially before coming, they also consulted with Zhang Weiping.
Although Su Junyang didn't understand why the Basketball Association didn't recruit Su Feng into the national team, as he learned more and more about the NBA in the past six months, Su Junyang felt that this might not be a bad thing.
Because if Su Feng is recruited, then he will definitely not be able to play in the future Summer League.
Su Junyang discovered after studying the NBA that the performance of many rookies in the Summer League often determines the degree to which they will be valued in the team afterward.
It's a pity that Su Feng doesn't know what Su Junyang is thinking, otherwise Su Feng would definitely tell Su Junyang that if your talent is really so terrifying that you can do whatever you want, no one will say anything even if you don't play in the Summer League...
The guy who was defended to death by Kendall Jenner in the future didn't even participate in the trial, did he?
Didn't he still become the first overall pick?
Of course, Su Feng certainly doesn't have such privileges now.
And in this era without social networks, the Summer League is still quite important to Su Feng.
It is worth mentioning that while Su Feng was being interviewed, Kobe was already laughing like Shaquille O'Neal.
"Why do they only film your shots? And Su, you're too nervous."
Kobe patted Su Feng on the shoulder and smiled.
Actually, Su Feng wasn't this nervous at first.
But he couldn't stand the fact that there was always someone being sarcastic next to him!
"Or, let them record a video of me and you playing one-on-one? I think that would be more convincing," Kobe suggested to Su Feng.
Hey, you have to say, Kobe is really a little smart.
Zhang Zhidao next to him thought it was reasonable when he heard it, "Yes, many people in China don't know what Xiao Su's style is like.
Kobe is a hot pick in this year's draft. Let Kobe and Xiao Su have a real fight. The effect of broadcasting it will definitely be better than broadcasting these dry shooting shots."
"I agree!" Su Junyang nodded.
"I second it!" Xu Jicheng clapped his hands in agreement.
Thus, the first one-on-one of Su Feng and Kobe's one-on-one career was recorded.
"Don't worry, I'll deliberately lose to you.
After all, this video is going to be broadcast to the people of your country," Kobe whispered to Su Feng before the one-on-one started.
Su Feng was shocked.
No, you must be a fake Kobe!
Because the real Kobe would never...
"But the big meal you promised me last time, you have to prepare an extra one," Kobe said, raising his eyebrows.
Su Feng: "..."
So that's it, is this the legendary p.y. transaction?
In fact, Su Feng didn't know how much he weighed in Kobe's heart at all.
In Kobe's view, if he beat Su Feng too badly in this video, then the media would definitely criticize Su Feng.
What if Su Feng is so affected that he doesn't feel like making food for himself in the future?
However, Kobe never expected that the most EQ move he had ever made in his life would be exchanged for...
"Haha! Did you record it all? Did you record it all?"
"Kobe, you have to work hard in the future!
Although you have never won me in one-on-one in high school.
But as long as you work hard in the future, you will definitely be able to catch up with me," Su Feng said triumphantly, putting his hands on his hips and laughing after winning 21-16 with Kobe's cooperation.
Kobe was stunned.
Damn it!
Can someone really be so shameless?
"What did you say? I've never won you?" Kobe widened his eyes, his expression more Jay Chou than Jay Chou himself.
"Ahem, don't worry about these details, anyway, you said it was for my country's fans to watch," Su Feng tried to muddle through.
"No, let's play another game, let them record it again, this time see if I don't beat you to death," Kobe said angrily, his IQ suddenly rising. He never expected that Su Feng would be such a person?
Kobe vowed that he would never do p.y. again in one-on-one in the future.
"Okay, okay, I know you're stronger than me, I'll admit defeat, okay?" Su Feng said quickly from his heart, seeing that Kobe was really angry.
"No, this time it's been recorded, who knows if you'll use this recording to say that I never won you in high school," Kobe said angrily, his IQ suddenly improved.
"Then I'll give you another big meal, okay?" Su Feng said with tears in his eyes.
"No! No matter what you say! I won't let you go today unless I beat you to death!" Kobe became more and more angry as he thought about it.
What kind of person is this!
People's hearts are sinister, Kobe felt that he must take this as a lesson in the future and never trust others easily again.
"I... then add another one!" Su Feng added.
"Heh, even if you add 100, I won't let you go today.
I'm telling you, don't even think about running, even if these reporters are all your compatriots...
If that doesn't work, I'll go to the school photography department and move all the equipment over," Kobe said, glaring at Su Feng.
"Then add 100..." Su Feng said "sincerely."
There was no way around it. This person had been steady for so long, but every time he reached a critical moment, for some reason, he always wanted to be reckless.
"100... are you serious?" Kobe didn't expect Su Feng to be willing to add 100.
"Really."
Unexpectedly, Su Feng finally moved Kobe with his sincere apology.
And on the side, seeing these two people talking and laughing, quarreling and making noise, Zhang Weiping said with emotion: "It's good to be young."
"Who says not?" Xu Jicheng smiled.
Su Junyang: "..."
Well, although I look a little old, I'm also a young man...
...
In April, after completing the final sprint training, Su Feng and Kobe returned to school in early May.
After all, he still has to graduate from high school.
So, he still has to make up for classes.
"By the way, Su, I plan to invite Brandy to the graduation party. Do you have a female partner you want to invite?"
That day, while tutoring, Kobe looked at Su Feng and asked.
Su Feng shook his head. Su Feng, who hates trouble, really doesn't want to participate in things like graduation parties if he can avoid them.
After all, not everyone likes to sing karaoke and go to nightclubs.
Take Su Feng for example. He was tortured enough by a bunch of ex-girlfriends in his previous life, so he really just wants to be a basketball superstar quietly in this life.
"Su, tell me honestly, are you still a virgin?" Kobe asked in a low voice.
Virgin...
Bro, are you talking about yourself?
Su Feng had seen Kobe's schedule and knew that he was going to participate in the Bulls' trial, so Kobe would inevitably be confronted by Ray Allen with that sentence...
Seeing Su Feng's silence, Kobe felt that he had confirmed Su Feng's virgin status and was particularly happy, thinking: "It seems that Su will also be behind me in this regard."
In addition, while mocking Su Feng, Kobe also revealed his plan to Su Feng.
This guy plans to take Brandy to a romantic corner after the graduation ball, and then...
Have a relationship that transcends friendship.
"Good luck."
Su Feng decided to write this down, after all, this is concrete evidence to use after Kobe and Vanessa get together in the future.
...
On May 7, after finishing the boring tutoring life, according to Bill Duffy's arrangement, Su Feng was about to start his tour of the United States.
Because of his outstanding performance in the McDonald's All-American Game, many teams sent Su Feng trial invitations this time.
Duffy arranged the following trial sessions for Su Feng based on the regular season rankings of each team and Su Feng's draft prospects:
Vancouver Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves who are not yet huskies, New Jersey Nets, Golden State Warriors, Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Utah Jazz, Phoenix Suns, Seattle SuperSonics, Philadelphia 76ers.
Among them, in addition to the SuperSonics, Jazz, and Kings who sent him separate trial invitations, the other teams sent small joint trial invitations.
This is not to say that Su Feng is not favored, but because of Su Feng's status as a high school player, each team needs to find several players of the same age to compare.
According to the itinerary, Su Feng will first go to Phoenix to participate in a small joint trial held there.
Such trials, which invite multiple rookies to participate together, usually arrange full-court five-on-five or half-court three-on-three games.
Therefore, when Su Feng saw the players who were participating in this trial with him, Su Feng knew that Duffy had put his heart into it this time.
Because Nash was also participating in that trial with Su Feng.
And Nash, like Su Feng, is a player under Duffy's banner.
Duffy told Su Feng that he had already greeted Nash, and hoped that the two of them could cooperate more in Phoenix and strive to perform well.
It is worth mentioning that just as Su Feng was preparing to fly to Phoenix, Kobe had arrived in Los Angeles a day earlier than him.
There, he will receive trial sessions from the Clippers and Lakers respectively.
