Chapter 1 Heinz Field

After Su Feng's series of antics, the atmosphere at Heinz Field had reached its peak.

In his previous life, although Kobe rarely mentioned to others that he had lost to Lester Earl in the McDonald's All-American dunk contest, Su Feng knew that with Kobe's meticulous nature, he couldn't possibly have forgotten that defeat.

Therefore, rather than saying that Su Feng was rewarding Kobe, his tool man, for his recent excellent performance, it was more like Su Feng, the Kobe fan, wanted Kobe to bring his talent to the NBA in this life without any regrets.

After all, who asked Su Feng to always be so kind, humble, and low-key?

On the court, the 17-year-old Kobe quickly amazed the world.

Although Kobe's physical talent wasn't fully developed yet, and he wasn't as agile as he would be in his prime, it didn't matter. Tonight, Kobe had Su Feng's invisible wings to help him fly!

For his first dunk, Kobe first tossed the ball, then jumped up to catch it, completing a behind-the-back handover while gliding through the air.

This was a classic dunk that Zach LaVine would perform in future dunk contests, a dunk that people of this era had never seen before.

Kobe's dunks had always been known for their elegance and grace, so even though Kobe's dunk didn't have LaVine's spicy flavor, it still had the unique taste of the Black Mamba.

Clang!

Kobe's dunk ignited the entire stadium.

And then, his second dunk was even more terrifying.

For Kobe's second dunk, Su Feng was responsible for holding the ball. After catching the ball, Kobe rotated in the air while holding the back of his head with one hand...

This was a classic dunk from the future eternal injustice, Aaron Gordon, when he competed against LaVine.

Although Su Feng couldn't spin like a mascot, there were no judges named Dwyane on the scene tonight.

Kobe received a perfect score of 50 points for both dunks.

In his previous life, just in terms of physical talent, Kobe was definitely no worse than those top dunkers.

It was just that Kobe's performance in dunk contests could only be described as lacking creativity.

In short, even the best wind needs leverage.

And that's called good wind relying on strength to help you reach the top.

"Kobe, thank you for the birthday gift. I don't have anything to give you, so I'll just give you a few ideas."

Looking at Kobe's excited expression after landing his dunk, Su Feng quietly stepped aside, letting him enjoy the cheers of the entire stadium alone.

Hmm...

As for the future LaVine and Gordon?

Don't worry, Su Feng. In his previous life, LaVine still had several big moves he hadn't used. Su Feng was helping him.

And as for Gordon...

Why participate in the dunk contest? Is it really necessary to go up there and work so hard to get a 9?

Isn't that tiring?

Su Feng was preventing a tragedy from happening in advance!

"Walk your own path and leave others with no path to walk."

Su - Senior - Feng wanted to use the cruelest reality to tell those younger generations:

Sometimes, being born early is also an advantage.

On the court, Kobe's number one rival, Lester Earl, had completely despaired.

During halftime, he weakly said to the host, "Go home, everyone go home.

He's like a UFO from outer space! I don't think even if you called Vince Carter over, he would be Kobe's opponent tonight."

At the 1995 McDonald's dunk contest, Carter had also amazed the fans.

And it was also at that dunk contest that Carter completed a dunk that was very similar to the one he would later perform at the All-Star dunk contest.

Listening to Lester Earl bringing up Carter to praise him, Kobe's expression was indescribably smug and pleased.

Because when he was a sophomore, Kobe had been criticized by Coach Greg using Carter as an example. Now that someone was praising him as being better than Carter, Kobe was as happy as a Black Mamba.

In the final, Kobe's third and fourth dunks were both handoffs after tossing the ball. With Su Feng's creative guidance, Lester Earl could only bitterly accept second place.

"Cool, so cool, Su." After the game, Kobe, who had won the dunk contest trophy, hugged Su Feng tightly, his expression very excited.

At Heinz Field, watching the Philadelphia duo hugging each other tightly, the people of Pennsylvania who had come to the scene to watch the game stood up and applauded them.

It's worth mentioning that there were also many scouts in the stands tonight.

Although the dunk contest and three-point contest were just entertainment events, tonight's McDonald's All-American game was being broadcast live in half of America.

Lakers scout Martin felt a bit of a headache because while chatting with his colleagues, he found that most scouts believed that Kobe should be selected in the top ten of the first round...

Martin felt that he had to report these situations to Jerry West immediately.

The Lakers had to prepare for the worst.

...

After his antics on the 9th, on the morning of the 10th, Kobe discovered that Su Feng was actually sleeping in!

"Why are you getting up so late?" Looking at Su Feng lazily lying in bed, Kobe directly pulled off his blanket.

Su Feng: "..."

"Isn't practice in the afternoon?" Su Feng asked groggily, having not slept in for a long time.

"Su, you can't do this. Tonight is the All-Star game." Kobe educated Su Feng.

Being stared at by Kobe's death stare, Su Feng had no choice but to sit up.

Holding his pillow, Su Feng said, "I know, but Kobe, I've been thinking about it all night, and I can't figure out how to play in this All-Star game."

Before coming to Pittsburgh, Su Feng had already simulated the All-Star game in his mind.

But unfortunately, no matter how Su Feng simulated it, his performance was always one of the worst.

In short, this kind of ball-hogging competition was simply a curse on Su Feng's current playstyle.

Moreover, Su Feng had watched this McDonald's All-American game in his previous life and knew that the point guard on the East team, Shasi Holloway, was the king of ball hogs.

In his previous life, even Kobe couldn't get the ball in this game, let alone himself?

So after thinking about it all night and not being able to come up with a solution, Su Feng decided to just let it be.

After all, if you can't solve something now, you definitely won't be able to solve it when you wake up.

"A sewer where you can't do whatever you want, this feeling is really...

I have to become stronger, constantly stronger, until I can enter and leave the sewer at will!" A few hours ago, as he was falling asleep, Su Feng silently encouraged himself.

"What, do you think you can't beat Cory (Benjamin), who you're facing?" Kobe asked curiously.

Su Feng shook his head and then told Kobe his thoughts.

"Shasi isn't that selfish, is he? Looking at his stats, he averages 6.5 assists per game!"

Kobe looked at Su Feng with a 'really, I don't believe it' expression.

Su Feng was amused by Kobe because he really wanted to tell Kobe, big brother, you even have 10+ assists per game.

A point guard who averages nearly 25 shots per game in high school, his idols must be Stephon Marbury or Allen Iverson!

Oh, that's right!

Looking at Kobe, Su Feng suddenly thought of something.

"I really have been with Kobe for too long, my IQ is gradually becoming Mamba-fied."

What's there to be afraid of!

Because think about it, even if Holloway is selfish, he's only one person!

But on this side, isn't there a pair of iron brothers?

So, Su Feng, who suddenly had an idea, said this and that to Kobe.

"No, Su, we agreed that we would enjoy the All-Star game together. This is definitely not okay."

However, Kobe clearly disagreed with Su Feng's plan.

"How about this, you helped me so much in the dunk contest, now it's time for me to help you.

Don't worry, tonight, as long as I have the chance to control the ball, I will definitely pass the ball to you," Kobe said, patting Su Feng on the shoulder.

Su Feng: "..."

Hiss...

Kobe, you haven't been body-snatched, have you?

Originally, Su Feng's plan was that since this kind of All-Star game was a curse on his current self, he might as well show the scouts another side of himself in the All-Star game and establish his identity as a team player.

It might be a little bitter, a little tiring.

The biggest advantage of this kind of real All-Star game is that even if you can't get the ball, you still have the opportunity to show yourself.

And that's the legendary reverse sewer.

But Su Feng never expected that in Kobe's eyes, no one could be "wronged," least of all Su Feng.

This scene reminded Su Feng of the All-Star game in his previous life when Kobe passed the ball to Tracy McGrady.

In 2006, the NBA All-Star game was held in Houston.

To comfort McGrady, who had lost another friend, Kobe turned off his shooting button.

He created opportunities for McGrady like crazy and even called on the Western Conference players to help McGrady pad his stats...

"Okay, let's go, let's go to practice." Kobe said, patting Su Feng on the shoulder with a smile.

"..."

...

9 PM, Heinz Field.

During the entrance ceremony, Su Feng and Kobe received cheers that far exceeded those of the others.

There was no way around it, who asked this pair of iron brothers to have a performance that could only be described as heavenly yesterday?

It's worth mentioning that before this game started, the system also reminded Su Feng that he would receive 2000 bricklaying points for every shot he missed in this game.

Because in the system's judgment, the intensity of this game far exceeded the previous high school games.

But you might not believe it if I told you.

Ever since he had Kobe as a cheat, 2000 bricklaying points?

Who were they kidding?

Su - My shots are very accurate and I don't want to lay bricks at all - Feng.

"Ding, the [Persistence of Team Basketball] mission has been released!

As an excellent "team player," you are not suitable to play in the All-Star game.

Therefore, in this All-Star game, the host will receive an additional 20,000 bricklaying points for every shot that is missed."

"!!!"

Before taking the court, after this prompt flashed in his mind, Su Feng was stunned under the bewildered tree.

"I understand, this reasonable system also saw it.

Someone like me, an excellent team player, is simply not suitable for this kind of selfish competition," Su Feng thought with a sigh, clenching his fist.

Sure enough, it was a conscientious system.

Cough cough, let's get down to business.

After both sides warmed up, the big screen quickly showed the starting lineups for both teams tonight.

East Team: Thomas, Jackson, Su Feng, Kobe, Holloway.

West Team: Collier, Robinson, Benjamin, Earl, Bibby.

During the jump ball, Thomas, the spring man, failed to defeat Collier.

Although Collier's jumping ability was only a mere 10 centimeters, his height of 210 centimeters was simply too exaggerated among high school students.

In his previous life, Collier was a famous former Mosaic player and was a teammate of Yao Ming during his rookie season.

Su Feng remembered him because the Hawks would retire his jersey in the future.

However, this jersey retirement was a tragedy because Collier would die of respiratory failure on October 16, 2005.

On the court, the East team attacked first, with Bibby directly shaking off Holloway with a crossover on the perimeter.

Although Su Feng got the MVP of this All-Star game in his previous life,

4 to 3.

In the audience, watching the Philadelphia twin stars completing the connection, the fans in the stadium applauded.

And next, after the first half of the game had been played for 5 minutes, Su Feng had already scored 10 points.

Two mid-range shots and two three-pointers, all Kobe's assists.

The pace of this game was very fast. If Holloway gave Kobe control of the ball, Su Feng felt that he would definitely be able to score 40 points tonight.

Because obviously, the other side hadn't adapted to his running style yet.

Beep!

With 14 minutes and 37 seconds left in the first half, the West team called a timeout. The score was 15 to 20.

In order to allow these high school players to adapt to the NCAA rules in advance, the McDonald's All-American game at this time was played in two halves of 20 minutes each.

As for the 35-second violation rule, in this kind of All-Star game, the time it takes for both sides to launch an attack basically doesn't exceed 10 seconds, so it can be ignored.

During the timeout, Kobe and Su Feng were talking and laughing.

"How was it, was my pass beautiful?" Kobe said, patting Su Feng on the shoulder, looking at Su Feng with an expression that said, 'what you thought before the game was unnecessary'.

Su Feng nodded, "I think even John Stockton can't compare to you."

However, just as Su Feng and Kobe were blowing each other up, Thomas and Jackson, who hadn't touched the ball much tonight, were unhappy.

The two of them kept complaining sarcastically.

There was no way around it. Kobe tried to create opportunities for Su Feng as soon as he got the ball, while Holloway only cared about his own happiness. So what was left for Thomas and Jackson?

"Let Kobe be the main controller!" Jackson, who was quick to speak, suggested to the coach.

"I agree!" Thomas echoed.

East Team coach John Miller looked embarrassed...

What, there were already conflicts after only 5 minutes of playing?

What John Miller didn't know was that this wasn't a conflict, but that there was no harm without comparison.

Compared to Holloway, who kept playing one-on-one, in Jackson and Thomas's eyes, wasn't Kobe always trying to pass the ball?

"Kobe, if the coach asks you to be the main controller later, don't refuse." Su Feng suddenly whispered in Kobe's ear from the sidelines.

"Okay, I definitely won't refuse. I'll pass the ball to you like crazy." Kobe said with a smile.

"No, no, you pass to the others too." Su Feng said in a cold sweat, bro, if you only pass the ball to me, then I'll become everyone's public enemy...

"But, I don't want to pass to them, they can't make the shot anyway." Kobe said with disdain.

Su Feng: "..."

Ignoring Kobe's passing button that was only installed for himself, Su Feng put his arm around Kobe and whispered, "How about this, for every assist you make in the next game, I'll promise to cook you a special dish."

"Of course, the premise is that you can't only pass the ball to me," Su Feng added.

"Really?" Kobe's eyes widened, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth seemed like it could drip down at any time.

"Of course it's true, when have I ever lied to you?" Su Feng said with a smile.

"Okay, I just think passing the ball is much more interesting than scoring these days." Kobe nodded.

And just as Su Feng and Kobe were discussing the price, on the other side, John Miller made a decision.

He replaced Holloway with Jermaine O'Neal.

Although Holloway didn't feel like he had done anything wrong, under the threat of Jackson and Thomas's elbows, Holloway didn't dare to jump up and hit their knees.

In addition, John Miller looked at Kobe and said, "Kobe, you can average 10 assists per game this season, are you confident in playing point guard for us?"

Kobe smiled, "Don't worry, coach, I'll pass the ball to everyone, don't forget, my nickname is 'Pennsylvania Magic'."

At this moment, Jackson, Thomas, and even Jermaine O'Neal, who had just come on the court, all thought that Kobe was a really good person...

"Hiss~! I hope Shaq doesn't hide under the covers and cry when he sees this scene in the future," Su Feng thought to himself with a tease.

On the court, the game continued...
