"How is it?"

Ten days had passed since Yao joined the Chinese men's basketball training camp.

During these ten days, besides telling Yao his stories of dunking on O'Neal every night, Su Feng also had the omnipotent Frazier tutor Yao's footwork.

"Excellent... Su, it seems your country is about to produce a great center." As the saying goes, experts watch for the details, while laymen watch the excitement.

If Wang Zhizhi's offensive talent had only brightened Frazier and others' eyes, then Yao...

...had truly stunned this group of NBA trainers.

Because...

...they had never seen a player like Yao, who was over 220 centimeters tall and still possessed agile footwork and a soft touch.

"His future achievements in the NBA will definitely surpass Rik Smits." After coaching Yao for 10 days, Frazier made his judgment.

If Su Feng remembered correctly, in a few months, Yao would be going to America to dominate Tyson Chandler, the number one high school student in the United States.

Su Feng didn't let Yao practice core strength for the time being because the development of a center couldn't be rushed.

People like Hakeem Olajuwon and Tim Duncan actually only started rigorous high-intensity training in college.

And this was also why Su Feng didn't want to interfere with how the Shanghai team was developing Yao.

"To be honest... I can't coach him. In fact, I'm better at training guards.

But I know a trainer who is very good at developing centers," Frazier told Su Feng.

Honestly, if Hakeem Olajuwon hadn't retired yet, Su Feng would have just spent the money to hire him for a year to guide Yao one-on-one.

"Feng... Brother Feng, your friend is so nice, hehehe."

Speaking of which, this national team's training camp this summer would definitely become a legend in the future.

Because just the fact that Kobe and McGrady were here as sparring partners, look, who else could do that?

In five-on-five practice, the person who currently coordinated the best with Yao was Kobe. After all, this was a Kobe in Su Feng's eyes whose soul had been transmigrated.

Yao could often receive alley-oops from Kobe like the ones Kobe used to throw to O'Neal.

And despite his average jumping ability and short wingspan, the agile Yao could always finish with a dunk after catching the ball.

Yao's kind of dunk was what we commonly call...

...being able to dunk just by standing on tiptoes.

Speaking of which, in Su Feng's previous life, Yao almost became Kobe's teammate.

And the reason why Kobe admired Yao was actually very simple, because they were both Virgos...

Ah, no, because Yao and Kobe's personalities did have similarities in some ways.

For example, their unwavering willpower, and their love for being completely focused during training and games.

"Will this 'big guy' play in the NBA in the future?" That day, Kobe asked Su Feng curiously.

Su Feng nodded.

"He sets good screens. I like this 'big guy'," Kobe said, touching Su Feng's buzz cut.

"Then do you think he'll become the number one pick in the draft?" Su Feng asked.

"That's unlikely, right? Although he's very talented, but the number one pick..." Kobe continued to enjoy the feeling of touching Su Feng's head, saying.

Alright, after swatting Kobe's hand away, Su Feng looked up at Yao, who was standing to the side, and said, "Yao, quickly thank Kobe. He said that you'll definitely become the number one pick in the NBA in the future."

Yao: "囧!"

Number... number one pick!?

At that moment, Yao felt that Brother Feng was good in every way, but he just liked to run his mouth when he started bragging.

For example, the last time he told him that he dunked on O'Neal, did he really think that he didn't watch his games?

Ahem, of course, as Brother Feng's fan, Yao didn't expose Su Feng's boasting to his face.

But...

...the number one pick was definitely impossible in Yao's opinion.

Because he couldn't even deal with a monster like Wang Zhizhi, let alone those supermen in the NBA?

Looking at Yao's unconfident expression, Su Feng knew that before Yao had dominated Chandler, Yao really didn't dare to think that he could play in the NBA in the future.

Speaking of which, the number one high school students in the United States these past two years were both cursed...

The former, Lamar Odom, became McGrady's ATM for gaining confidence, while the latter, Chandler, helped Yao establish his confidence in one battle.

"Do you think the NBA is still too far away from you?" Su Feng said, patting Yao on the back.

Yao nodded seriously.

And for some reason, when he saw Kobe always touching Brother Feng's buzz cut, Yao felt that he also wanted to go up and grab it a few times...

Hehehe...

Don't rush, I'll slowly grab it when Brother Feng falls asleep at night!

"Come, have a one-on-one game with me, and you'll know that the NBA is not as far away from you as you think." On the court, Su Feng threw the basketball to Yao and said.

Yao 囧x2!

No... Brother Feng, I can't even beat a monster like Wang Zhizhi, I... can I beat you?

However, looking at Su Feng's serious expression, Yao didn't dare to refuse.

So, on the training ground, the guys who were burying their heads in hard work once again focused their attention on Su Feng's half of the court.

Even Wang Zhizhi, who was doing core strength training with Mancias and felt like he was about to die, asked Mancias for a 10-minute break.

"This Yao Ming is too miserable..." Zhang Jingsong said with pity.

"But, haven't you guys noticed? Little Su, he values Yao Ming very much," Hu Weidong added.

"But Lao Hu, this Yao Ming is only 17 years old after all..." Li Xiaoyong said with pity for the second time.

"17 years old? What's wrong with 17 years old? Didn't Da Wang also follow us to play in the Olympics at 18?" Liu Yudong paused, then added:

"A hero doesn't ask about age. Da Ba can't play this year. I think Little Su's intention is to take Yao Ming to the Asian Championship to train him."

And on the court, after the PK between Yao and Su Feng began, Yao found that although he was dizzy from Brother Feng's "gorgeous dribbling skills", on the other hand...

...it was so easy to clean up Brother Feng?

This...

This shouldn't be?

The onlookers didn't see that Su Feng was sandbagging.

Sandbagging?

Su Feng didn't sandbag at all.

The reason why Su Feng couldn't defend against Yao was very simple, because Yao's absolute height was his greatest talent!

To defend against Wang Zhizhi, Su Feng could use disruption of his offensive rhythm and resisting his lower body.

But you know what, Yao's lower body, even at only 17 years old, was far more stable than ordinary people.

Plus his height of 222 centimeters, Su Feng couldn't disrupt his shot like he did with Wang Zhizhi.

In Su Feng's previous life, Yao's turnaround jumper and small hook shot were also an unsolvable skill.

And this was exactly what Su Feng wanted to tell Yao.

"Yao... you can learn skills, and you can train strength.

But only your height is something that others can't teach you." After this round of one-on-one, Su Feng looked up at Yao and said.

"I..." That day, Su Feng planted a seed in Yao's heart.

A seed called hope.

Which NBA player over 220 centimeters tall could do such a smooth turnaround jumper like Yao?

Wake up, Yao... in a sense, that was also a cheat-like talent.

And it was worth mentioning that, unlike before when he had abused Yao, Da Zhi had always been a bit contemptuous of Yao in training. Since this round of one-on-one between Yao and Su Feng, Da Zhi would always frequently seek opportunities to match up with Yao in the following training sessions.

So, when making friends in the future, remember to make fewer tsundere monsters.

Just people like Da Zhi...

He was a typical example of being contrary.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost the end of July.

According to arrangements, Kobe and McGrady were preparing to leave for Germany to participate in Adidas' promotional activities.

And Su Feng received an email from Nike.

Nike had basically finalized the logo for the "Phenomenon" series...

As for creativity, what kind of imagination could this group of people at Nike have?

It was nothing more than referring to the "A-Cone" and making Su Feng's "Meteor Dunk" into a silhouette.

To be honest, compared to Nike's logo, Su Feng was more interested in his PS first-generation sneakers.

Because he had seen the design drawings that Nike had sent him, and to be honest, they were really handsome.

And when Kobe saw Su Feng's PS first-generation design drawings, he used "fancy but impractical" to comment.

In addition, while complaining to Su Feng, Kobe also showed Su Feng his first signature shoe that would also be launched next season.

"Nike's shoes are becoming more and more soulless," Kobe concluded.

Su Feng: "..."

Alright, Kobe, I'll remember what you said first. Don't you dare wear Nike shoes in the game in the future.

In Su Feng's previous life, Kobe often wore "A-Cones" in many games in 2002 and 2003.

From the perspective of an endorser, the reason why Adidas didn't want to renew its contract with Kobe in the future, was it just because Kobe was surrounded by negative news at the time?

Not to mention that Kobe, as Adidas' endorser, ran to wear "A-Cones"...

Except for Nike's designers who could tolerate Kobe messing with their design drawings, did you really think that all the designers in the world liked to see their design drawings being changed beyond recognition?

Su Feng, who knew Kobe's personality very well, was very clear that Kobe would be the NBA version of Brother Jingze in the future. Just the story of Kobe's "really fragrant" was enough to publish a book.

On the 28th, after saying goodbye to Kobe and McGrady, the Chinese men's basketball team's training also officially entered the second stage.

Under the guidance of Su Feng's "advanced tactical concepts", Zhang Bin made the decision to abandon the "double high" lineup and instead adopt a one-big-four-small lineup.

Even if the Chinese men's basketball team played a "death five", the average height was far above their opponents.

Take Su Feng as an example, if his height was given to the Japanese team, then in the Japanese team, Su Feng would have to play the center position.

Su Feng suggested that Zhang Bin use speed to control speed, and increase the playing time of young players, so that Liu Yudong and others who were injured could have more adequate rest time.

As for the center position, Su Feng hinted that Zhang Bin should just bring Da Zhi and Xiao Yao.

In the 1997 national team, Da Ba was absent due to injury, and Shan Tao was also recovering from injury. So in Su Feng's previous life, many media attributed the men's basketball team's defeat in Riyadh to the fact that the men's basketball team's centers were all napping...

But actually...

Just Wang Zhizhi and Xiao Yao, placed in Asia, even the young version of the two, combined together were also a mushroom egg.

A big reason for the Chinese men's basketball team's defeat in Riyadh, in addition to injuries, was that they were too superstitious about the tall lineup.

As a result, when they encountered the Korean team, they were blown up by the Koreans with desperate three-pointers.

The overall strength of the Korean men's basketball team in the 1990s was stronger than in the future. The main reason was that this group of Korean players, in addition to being good at entanglement with you with small moves, their three-pointers were all accurate.

But in this life, with Su Feng here, if that group of Korean shooters could blow up the men's basketball team's perimeter, then Reggie Miller would definitely be the first to rush to Asia and cut Su Feng to death with a knife.

"Then if that's what you say, Xiao Su, Director Qian is actually ahead of the world?" Zhang Bin asked Su Feng curiously.

Su Feng sighed regretfully.

To be honest...

If Director Qian's set of tactics was combined with some details, it would indeed be ahead of the times.

The current Xiao Yao and Da Zhi were both lightweight versions. Falling into a positional battle would instead highlight their lack of confrontation, but once they played fast, who could withstand the fast breaks of two seven-footers?

In addition, in Asia, Su Feng was really the "Philadelphia Irving". Who in Asia could stop him from showing off his dribbling skills?

In the NBA, because he was always provoking the opposing bosses, the players who matched up with Su Feng in every game were basically the top players on the opposite team.

But in Asia... the current Su Feng was just a dimensionality reduction strike.

According to the plan, after the end of the second stage of training, the Chinese men's basketball team would set off for Saudi Arabia in mid-August to prepare for the 1997 Asian Men's Basketball Championship.

And that day, Hu Weidong suddenly found Su Feng during training.

"Xiao Su... the Jiangsu team called me and said that the Chicago Bulls want to talk to me."

Hu Weidong, who regarded Su Feng as a strategist, really had the idea of playing in the NBA in this life.

And unlike Da Zhi and Xiao Yao in the future, this time, the Jiangsu team supported Hu Weidong to play in the NBA.

Because...

Even the Jiangsu team couldn't bear to see Lao Hu suffer anymore.

Not to mention that there was the Bayi team pressing on them, look, at this time there was also the Liaoning team, the runner-up gatekeeper. Did the Jiangsu team want to win the National Games championship and the CBA championship with that lineup?

Wasn't that just daydreaming?

Therefore, the Jiangsu team also supported Hu Weidong to go to the NBA to train for a few years, and then bring the advanced technical and tactical concepts back to Jiangsu.

Of course, after chatting with Lao Hu for a while, Su Feng knew that if Lao Hu wanted to play in the NBA, he would definitely have to pay a certain price.

And Su Feng couldn't stop this.

Because the Jiangsu team did have the grace of cultivation for Hu Weidong, and after Su Feng inquired about the Jiangsu team's requirements, he felt that the pile of requirements was not too excessive.

And in Su Feng's opinion, if Lao Hu really decided to play in the NBA, then he would have plenty of opportunities to bring Lao Hu to make money.

But...

What was the situation with the Chicago Bulls?

The domestic reporting of the NBA at this time was not as strong as in the future, and there was no social network, so Su Feng really didn't know what had happened in the NBA recently.

So Su Feng immediately asked Su Junyang about the situation.

And when he learned from Su Junyang that the Bulls had also signed a player named Bruce Bowen a few days ago, Su Feng was in a trance...

He felt that the world's hostility towards him was too strong!

I'm just a 19-year-old kid!

Was it necessary to deal with me like they were dealing with O'Neal?

"First of all, Lao Hu, you need an American agent who is kind and good at communicating with players."

Looking at Hu Weidong, who was full of longing for the NBA, Su Feng patted Lao Hu on the shoulder and said.

"Yeah, I know, by the way, Xiao Su, why don't you chat with me in English during this time so I can practice in advance?" Hu Weidong pushed his glasses and said to Su Feng.

Speaking of which, if Hu Weidong really landed in the NBA, what Su Feng was most worried about was not his English proficiency.

Nutrient solution could only help Lao Hu have plenty of energy during daily training, but it could not solve his hidden injury problems.

The previous injury of Iverson was also an example.

But if he went to the Bulls, Su Feng thought it was a good choice.

Because in the Bulls, Lao Hu would definitely serve as a substitute more often.

In addition, in this life, because of his appearance, the major injury that Lao Hu would have suffered in 1997 did not occur.

And in a sense, Hu Weidong, who could still score 55 points in the CBA at the age of 35 in the future, was also very durable.

After all, being able to recover from the blows of injuries again and again and return to his peak was something that ordinary people could not do.

Therefore, after giving Lao Hu a lot of advice, Su Feng believed that Hu Weidong must change his style of play if he wanted to land in the NBA.

Reduce breakthroughs and throw more three-pointers.

Plus Hu Weidong also had a good turnaround jumper, Su Feng believed that in a limited amount of time, he would definitely become the Bulls' substitute surprise soldier.

"Hey, that's not right... Aren't I helping the enemy?"

To be honest, Su Feng wanted Lao Hu to join the 76ers, but Hu Weidong...

Obviously wasn't Larry Brown's cup of tea.

Moreover, regardless of the friendship between compatriots, or the friendship between himself and Lao Hu in this life, Su Feng couldn't do the kind of behavior that would persuade Lao Hu to give up landing in the NBA.

Play, play, anyway, I'm not even afraid of the "old hooligan", could I be afraid of the mere Lao Hu?

Swish, swish, swish!

Because the NBA official had announced that the three-point line would be changed back to the old version next season, Hu Weidong had been practicing the NBA's old version of the three-point line since he received the Bulls' invitation.

And then you don't say...

It seemed to be a bit accurate.

"Xiao Su, do you think my shooting speed needs to be accelerated a bit more?"

On the court, because he liked to take off his glasses when playing, Hu Weidong looked at Su Feng vaguely while training that day.

Su Feng: "..."

At that moment, Su Feng missed Davis inexplicably.

Coach, is the air quality good in Toronto?

What about the prices of school district houses?

Su Feng felt that history had been completely disrupted by him.

However, there was no news about Lao Hu joining the Bulls for the time being.

Because the Bulls hoped to further investigate Hu Weidong's state through the Asian Championship.

In Su Feng's opinion, there might still be a turning point in this matter.

"Well... In the Asian Championship, I have to help Lao Hu brush up his data." Touching his chin, Su Feng thought silently.

In this life, because of his relationship, Su Feng estimated that in the upcoming Asian Championship, in addition to the Bulls' scouts, there would definitely be scouts from other teams coming to watch.

And helping Lao Hu build his reputation and become well-known was very necessary in Su Feng's opinion!
