Chapter 58 The Legend of the Great Chef

　　Su Feng had seen a Kobe-bashing meme in his previous life.

　　It was that when Kobe held up one finger, it meant:

　　Clear out, I’m going one-on-one.

　　But in this life, after being teammates with Kobe for two years, Su Feng could pat his chest and say:

　　These Kobe-haters are just too detestable, they’re just hating for the sake of hating.

　　Because in the Lower Merion team, when Kobe held up one finger, everyone knew that Kobe meant:

　　Clear out, I’m about to break through, Su Feng, watch out for the pass!

　　And when Kobe held up two fingers, it meant calling Su Feng to set a pick-and-roll for him, preparing to cut to the outside and catch the ball for a shot.

　　Three fingers meant that the other role players should stay put, because he was going to pass the ball to Su Feng for a shot.

　　Four fingers meant a four-out-one-in formation, everyone pay attention to screening for Su Feng.

　　As for five fingers...

　　Well...

　　When Kobe held up five fingers, that meant he was really going one-on-one.

　　Heinz Field, the East team's offense. After seeing Kobe hold up two fingers, Su Feng obediently ran towards the direction Kobe was dribbling.

　　It's worth mentioning that after Kobe took over as the main ball-handler, the East team's height instantly increased.

　　Although Bibby's nickname was "White Devil," he was only 180 centimeters tall at this moment...

　　He saw Kobe using his iron elbow to clear the way, a secret technique that Joe Bryant had passed on to him not long ago.

　　Don't be surprised, in the 90s, this kind of play wasn't uncommon.

　　Anyway, you elbow me, I elbow you...

　　One elbow to freedom, one elbow to death, elbowing awake the yearning, blood splattering the floor, faces of all colors with scars of all kinds, no one remembers what you look like.

　　Bibby barely kept up with Kobe relying on his speed.

　　But next, looking at Su Feng's big elbow waiting for him in front, Bibby's heart was filled with despair.

　　Too difficult. In Bibby's view, wasn't this just bullying?

　　In order to avoid his "White Devil" being elbowed into a "Blood Devil," at this moment, Bibby chose to be prudent.

　　And the Philadelphia Twin Stars took this opportunity to complete a wonderful pick-and-fade cooperation.

　　Kobe, using Su Feng's pick-and-roll to break through the Western All-Star team's perimeter defense, made a behind-the-back pass, finding Su Feng who had cut to the outside for an open shot.

　　Swish!

　　Su Feng finished this possession with a handsome and elegant jump shot.

　　15 to 23!

　　"This is Lower Merion's classic play!

　　Kobe's playmaking ability has really improved a lot compared to last year...

　　Now, many Philadelphia fans are calling him the 'Philadelphia Magic'!" The commentator Sean laughed.

　　On the court, turning back, the West team's offense, but Bibby, who wanted to get back at them, had just started with his whirlwind legs when he was directly knocked down by Jermaine O'Neal's Qilin arm (mythical beast arm).

　　Could anyone with O'Neal in their name be ordinary?

　　Before suffering major injuries, Jermaine O'Neal was also a big monster who could fly and dodge.

　　In Su Feng's previous life, in this 1996 McDonald's All-American Game, Jermaine O'Neal contributed many dunks and was very active on both ends of the court.

　t look at him as cute; before being poisoned by the evils of capitalism, retreating while fighting was non-existent.

　　On the court, Jackson grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Kobe.

　　After seeing Su Feng continuously getting open looks, the other East team players couldn't help it.

　　On offense, everyone began to show off their movement.

　　At this moment, Kobe was very much like that man in the future!

　　Four teammates constantly moving, waiting for His Majesty the Emperor's favor.

　　You must know that on the East team's side, even Jermaine O'Neal could pull out to the perimeter to shoot.

　　This ball, Kobe, with his quick eyes and hands, discovered that Jackson had run into an opening and passed the ball over.

　　And the Martial Saint decisively raised his Azure Dragon Blade...

　　Ah, no, Jackson decisively shot, a sharp long-range two-pointer!

　　15 to 25!

　　Good heavens, the scouts on the stands were stunned, because...

　　Under Kobe's great leadership, the East team was running plays, can you believe it?

　　"Kobe's leadership is really quite good. Before, I always thought he could only score."

　　"Wake up, he averaged 10 assists in his senior year."

　　"I think Kobe will definitely be selected in the top ten. Just looking at his playmaking ability, he can't be another Harold Miner."

　　"I agree."

　　"I second that."

　　On the stands, listening to his colleagues' discussions, Lakers scout Martin felt a sense of panic.

　　In Su Feng's previous life, Kobe falling to the 13th pick was somewhat related to his poor performance in this McDonald's All-American Game.

　　Plus, later, Logo Man (Jerry West) used a little trick, and the Lakers getting Kobe and freeing up salary space in one go can be described as a classic beyond classics.

　　When Su Feng was a keyboard warrior in his previous life, he and other keyboard warriors had discussed whether Logo Man was a time-traveler.

　　Because many of his operations may seem normal when you look at them in the future.

　　But if you don't look at it with the eyes of a time-traveler, this guy is simply a walking dynasty-building master.

　　Just take this operation in '96 as an example. Before the draft began, even the Hornets, who had already reached an agreement with them, didn't know who the Lakers wanted to choose.

　　It wasn't until 5 minutes before the draft deadline that Logo Man told the Hornets to please select Kobe for him.

　　And then, Logo Man sent Vlade Divac, who was in his prime, to the Hornets.

　　First of all, this was an offer the Hornets couldn't refuse, because the Hornets didn't lack forwards or guards at the time, they just lacked a center like Divac.

　　Secondly, Logo Man had already sensed the possibility of Shaq heading west.

　　Because after being avenged by Jordan, O'Neal was having a falling out with the local media in Orlando.

　　Plus, the Magic management believed that O'Neal's contract value shouldn't exceed Hardaway's...

　　Therefore, Jerry West, believing that these rumors were not groundless, keenly realized that it was time for the Lakers to free up salary space.

　　To put it bluntly, Logo Man didn't time-travel, he just liked to think about how to make the next three moves before making his first move.

　　Before Su Feng time-traveled, even the Clippers, who couldn't be helped, were made to look impressive by him. To be fair, Logo Man's team-building ability was just too outrageous.

　　On the court, the East team, which was already more talented, was completely crushed by the West team under Kobe's "combing" in the first half.

　　45 to 65, the East team led the West team by as many as 20 points.

　　Su Feng remembered that originally this game, the East team could only win by 15 points, but now, the situation had undergone subtle changes...

　　The East team players, who were originally fighting on their own, were working harder than the others under Kobe's coordination.

　　At the end of the first half, although Kobe only scored two points, he had 14 assists.

　　Of course, among Kobe's 14 assists, he fed the most open looks to Su Feng.

　　After all, Kobe also had to eat after the game...

　　Man is iron, food is steel, you'll be hungry if you don't eat a meal.

　　However, Kobe wasn't very happy during the halftime break.

　　Because in his opinion, these people were far inferior to Su Feng.

　　Several times, Kobe's passes were clearly on point, and their movement was also good, but these people...

　　Why did they have to show off their dribbling skills, cough up the open look, and then eat alone?

　　This kind of coughing up open looks made Kobe very angry.

　　Because an assist was equal to a delicious meal. In Kobe's view, how many dishes had he lost for no reason?

　　Su Feng, who had 23 points in the first half, knew what Kobe was thinking, so he said to Kobe, "It's okay, in the second half, indirect assists will also count as your assists!"

　　When Kobe heard this, he instantly turned his anger into joy, "How about you make me this big meal after the draft?"

　　Su Feng looked at Kobe curiously, "Why?"

　　"Think about it, after I sign, when I have money, we can buy top-quality ingredients.

　　The taste of top-quality ingredients will definitely be better than ordinary ingredients." Kobe laughed.

　　Su Feng: "......"

　　You really are a little genius.

　　"Okay." Anyway, he could still pull Kobe into one-on-one matches at that time, getting both iron-smelting value and delicious food, wouldn't that be great?

　　……

　　After the halftime break, the second half of the game had completely become a show for the East team.

　　Stern knew that once certain aspects were involved, it wasn't a question of freedom of speech.

　　"David, have you seen the video Speed sent?

　　Su is too talented, he's likely to become the most expensive rookie in McDonald's history." In Stern's office, Mark laughed.

　　"Yeah, I've seen it." In Stern's view, chatting with Mark was the only thing that made him happy now.

　　"His draft stock is basically in the first round now. Do we need to promote him further?" Mark asked.

　　"No, there's no need for that." Stern was very clear that promoting people had to be done gradually.

　t Su Feng could be selected in the first round, then he just needed to watch the show in peace.

　　"It's really unexpected, this year is the Golden Generation!

　　In this situation, he can still get into the first round." Mark said with emotion.

　　Stern nodded. To be honest, he didn't expect Su Feng to actually be a basketball genius.

　　'This kid must have been arranged by God to build a bridge across the ocean for me,' Stern thought silently.

　　"What an interesting kid!"
