Chapter 1 Although I Knew Kobe Was Always a Man of Action

Although he knew Kobe was always a "say it and do it" kind of guy, Su Feng never expected that Kobe would fly to Philadelphia the day after calling him...

"Aren't you planning to rest for a few weeks before training?" Su Feng asked curiously, looking at Kobe, who was 'full of energy and vitality'.

"Are you resting?" Kobe asked, stretching his shoulders and neck.

"No rest for me," Su Feng replied.

"Then why should I rest?

I know, you must want to tell me about all the achievements and honors you achieved in your rookie season.

But Su, we are both young, and I will definitely surpass you in the future!" Kobe said to Su Feng with high spirits.

Su Feng nodded, thinking that he was indeed Kobe...

However, Su Feng, who suddenly remembered something, suddenly patted Kobe on the shoulder and said, "Keep it up, Kobe, the future is yours!"

Kobe: "..."

Su...

You're only a few months older than me, right?

But never mind... Seeing that Su Feng had come to pick him up, Kobe decided to generously forgive Su Feng.

Ahem... Kobe swore, touching Shaquille O'Neal's fat head, that he definitely wasn't not holding it against Su Feng because Su Feng had brought him a big bag of food when he picked him up.

...

That day, in the 76ers' training gym, after practicing shooting for a while, Kobe vaguely remembered that he had been quite looking forward to being selected by the 76ers last summer.

But in the blink of an eye, everything had changed...

"By the way, Su, who do you think will win the championship this year?" Kobe asked curiously.

"The Hawks, the Rockets, and the Jazz all have a chance."

Seriously, as a time-traveler, Su Feng felt that what he knew was no longer very useful...

Because if the 76ers eliminated the Bulls in the first round, and the Rockets and Jazz were too worn out, then the Hawks might really have a chance to win the championship without doing anything.

Don't think that Stern's punishment for the Heat and the Knicks was harsh, but compared to the championship, this level of warning was not enough to deter these teams who would give up everything for the championship.

"I feel it should be the Rockets and the Jazz; the Hawks don't have much hope," Kobe said to Su Feng after thinking for a while.

Su Feng: "..."

'Kobe, it's a good thing only I know about your poison milk (du nai) tendencies, otherwise, Sloan and Tomjanovich would definitely run to Los Angeles to fight Jerry West to the death.'

"Because the Jazz beat us, and the Rockets also fought their way out of the strong Western Conference," Kobe analyzed seriously.

The strong Western Conference...

Well, Kobe, you really haven't experienced the beating from the Eastern Conference at this time!

"By the way, Su, which team do you think Tracy will be selected by?" Kobe asked after a pause.

Su Feng had already seen the results of the draft lottery. Anyway, in Su Feng's opinion, this year's draft could only be described as "chaotic."

Although it was different from what Su Feng remembered, the Raptors got the seventh pick in the first round of 1997, but unsurprisingly, Su Feng believed that the Raptors were still the team in the lottery area most willing to bet on McGrady's talent.

In fact... the Raptors' draft work during this period was quite good.

The only regret was that they had a weak foundation, limited investment from the owner, and in Su Feng's previous life, the Raptors hired a "magical" coach like Butch Carter, so they failed to become a championship team during this period.

However, because history often likes to go off course recently, Su Feng didn't jinx his little brother Tracy.

He said to Kobe, "He will definitely be selected. What? If you want to slack off, just say it. Anyway, don't blame me if you can't beat him when Tracy enters the league in the future."

"Ha... I can't beat Tracy?

Su, do you think you can steadily win against me in one-on-one now?" Kobe said, holding his training uniform in his mouth.

Su Feng spread his hands, "That's what I mean. To be honest, Kobe, I am not who I used to be."

Kobe smiled and threw the ball to Su Feng.

"Let's speak with our skills!" Kobe said to Su Feng.

Su Feng waved his hand at Kobe, "Don't rush, wait for me to find a video recorder and film it."

Kobe: "???"

"I'm just afraid you won't admit it after you lose, right?" Su Feng said to Kobe in a serious manner.

Kobe: "!!!"

Su Thief, you're quite good at playing, huh!?

Back then, I beat you countless times in high school?

But now you actually...

On the court, Kobe couldn't bear it after seeing that Su Feng had really found a video recorder and set up the camera.

"Well, my training plan for this period of time, in addition to gaining weight, is to beat you eight hundred times every day, Kobe!" After preparing for the one-on-one, Su Feng's mouth slightly raised and he said.

Beat me eight hundred times every day?

"Su, don't worry, if you can beat me eight hundred times, then I will definitely beat you three thousand times every day!" Kobe said seriously.

In this way, that familiar feeling all came back.

Su Feng and Kobe began their one-on-one routine from their Lower Merion days again.

You have to say, after training with the Lakers for a season, Kobe's offensive blacksmithing value for Su Feng is now as high as 8100 points.

In addition...

In one-on-one, Su Feng really couldn't completely abuse Kobe, because Kobe was not only familiar with him, but Kobe himself was a one-on-one maniac.

So, after playing for a morning, Su Feng found that he could only beat Kobe 60-40?

"Su, you need to add some more one-on-one skills in the summer."

On the court, just as Su Feng and Kobe were playing happily, suddenly, John Davis's voice entered Su Feng's ears.

"Your defense, in my opinion, deserves the name of All-Defensive First Team.

But your one-on-one skills are not enough, so you have to find a way to improve your offensive skills in the coming summer." Davis said to Su Feng with a smile.

"Coach? Why are you at the training gym?" Su Feng suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Ah, because I left some things here, I came to pack them up," Davis shook his head and said to Su Feng.

Pack things?

"Now that things are as they are, I won't hide it from you, Su.

The team doesn't want me to be the head coach of the 76ers anymore. Although they want me to join the management, in my opinion, I still prefer the feeling of standing on the sidelines directing." Davis stepped forward and patted Su Feng on the shoulder and said.

"No way... You just beat the Bulls, and you're going to change coaches?" Kobe said in surprise from the side.

"Hello, Kobe... I have something I want to say to Su alone, would you mind stepping away?" Davis turned his head and said to Kobe.

Kobe shrugged and went to the other side of the court to shoot.

"It's a pity, Su, you know, Berlin Borough has his own ideas.

Pat has been trying to keep me, but if I can't stand on the sidelines and fight alongside you, what's the point?" After looking up at the dome of the training gym, Davis added:

"I like you, I like Allen, and I like this 76ers team even more.

But Su, actually Pat and Berlin Borough don't know, compared to Allen, I think you are the soul of this 76ers team."

Su Feng gave Davis a surprised look, and at this time, Davis continued, "Don't worry about me, Su.

I'm lucky to have been with you this past year.

Secretly telling you, there are already teams that have invited me to be their head coach, and I have already agreed."

For some reason, looking at Davis, Su Feng always felt a little sad...

After all, under his training, Davis is now only one step away from becoming a famous coach.

"Then where will you go next? Coach..." Su Feng asked curiously.

"I shouldn't tell you before signing, but to be honest, I don't want to hide it from you, Su...

The Toronto Raptors have officially extended an invitation to me," Davis said, patting Su Feng on the shoulder.

Toronto...

Raptors!?

Unfortunately, Su Feng is not well-educated, so he just says "What the heck?"

In Su Feng's opinion, if...

The Raptors can still select the Carter brothers in this life, then Davis might really be able to take off with this Raptors team.

Because this guy, under his influence, already has a completely different way of thinking from other coaches of this era.

And because of the success he has achieved with him, once Davis coaches the Raptors, he will definitely give McGrady more opportunities.

Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that the "Wandering Iron Plan" is currently only in its first stage, Su Feng would really want to take Davis to Toronto together.

Ahem...

Don't think that the Toronto market is average and the owner is poor, but from Davis's expression, Su Feng can read that he is likely to have the power of life and death in the team after going to Toronto.

It doesn't matter if the team is poor!

Su Feng can't hint at Pat Cross and Berlin Borough, but how much can Su Feng hint at Davis?

He can even directly show it!

In addition, assuming that the Raptors can still select the Carter brothers in this life, then Su Feng really has a set of abnormal tactics that he can pull out and play with.

As for the Toronto market?

Wake up, when he selects the jumping talent in 1999, and the three jumping men are dunking all over the place, then the Toronto market will definitely be more explosive than in Su Feng's previous life.

The entire Canada will be their supporters.

Carter can play like a demigod in Toronto, and if you add him, Su Feng, these three of the four great point guards, and with Davis assisting him, why worry about not achieving hegemony?

"Coach, can you tell me who will be in charge of the 76ers next?"

After forcibly restraining this bold idea in his heart, Su Feng decided to first obtain information from Davis that would help him complete the "Wandering Iron Plan."

"Well... since everything that shouldn't be said has been said, anyway, the 76ers will announce the news of the coaching change in a few days, so it's okay to tell you, but... Su, you must never tell anyone."

After pausing for a few seconds, Davis said with a look of melancholy, "Berlin Borough is a fanatical fan of Larry Brown... He believes that this 76ers team can do better under Larry's leadership than I can.

In addition, Larry has also stated that he will give you and Allen more offensive firepower next season, so I think, under Larry's leadership, you will definitely become the MVP, Su."

Su Feng: "..."

John! You can't be so upright!

Your position has been taken away, shouldn't you be angry at this time, then win over a group of players, and then pull me to force the palace to rebel?

However, Su Feng, who knew Davis's character well, knew that Davis was just that kind of person.

Forcing the palace is not realistic at all, because Brown is here to coach... Besides himself, who knows him well, Su Feng thought that... the other 76ers players would not only not be uncomfortable, but would be very happy.

After all, in this era, Larry Brown's prestige is too high. To give a simple example, in Su Feng's previous life, before completely breaking up with Brown, Iverson was very respectful to Brown.

To put it bluntly, Su Feng has the perspective of God, but the other 76ers players don't have the perspective of God.

Before Brown even started coaching, they would force the palace to rebel, why would other players do that?

In short, it's that people haven't even made a mistake, and you say they have a mistake, then in the eyes of others, it's probably not Brown who has a problem, but Su Feng who has a problem.

Therefore, after getting the exact news from Davis, Su Feng's "Wandering Iron Plan" can be officially started.

The first step: No matter who comes to coach, train when you should train, play when you should play, and sleep when you should sleep.

Only by making yourself stronger can you gain more say next season and take the next step in the "Wandering Iron Plan."

Basketball is a sport where strength is respected.

"Su, why do you look... like you're not very happy?"

In Davis's opinion, shouldn't ordinary people be happy to dance and dance when a super coach like Brown is about to join the 76ers?

At least during the contract renewal negotiations with the 76ers, Davis didn't see anyone feeling sad about his departure.

Perhaps Pat Cross was a little sad, but in Davis's opinion, that should be because he and Cross had a good personal relationship.

"I'm reluctant to see you leave... Coach," Su Feng said, "gazing deeply" at Davis.

"Haha, it seems I still won!

Su, do you know, I bet with Jason and Rick that if anyone in this team is sad about my departure, that person must be you!"

At this moment, Davis felt that his efforts and hard work in the past year were worth it.

"Coach, will we have a chance to work together in the future?" Su Feng decided to lay a foreshadowing first, after all, in his plan, Larry Brown might really hold him up...

There is a saying that with Brown's coaching ideas, after he joins the 76ers, Su Feng has a premonition that he will definitely kneel and lick himself and Iverson first.

In addition, the construction ideas of this 76ers team are indeed similar to those of the Pistons in the future, so if the 76ers' lineup really has a chance to win the championship, then Su Feng doesn't mind taking a championship and then wandering.

You must know that in the NBA, if the championship is really so easy to get, then there would not be so many "uncrowned kings" and superstars who have never won a championship.

Therefore, in the long run, playing under Brown is not promising.

But in the short term... if he can win the championship, then Su Feng doesn't mind playing under Brown's kneeling and licking.

However... since it has been determined that Brown will come to coach, then Su Feng's "Wandering Iron Plan" must be prepared for the second stage.

Therefore, in Su Feng's opinion, Davis, who went to Toronto to coach, might become his friendly army in the future.

Going to Toronto and letting Carter be his Pippen, isn't this more comfortable than listening to Brown kneeling and licking him in Philadelphia every day?

In short, at the moment, for Su Feng, it is still the kingly way to hold Kobe and practice one-on-one every day, brush up the "blacksmithing value" while frantically strengthening his "strength"!

So, after chatting with Davis for a few words, Su Feng looked at Davis's slightly lonely back and sighed.

Friends come and go, only the championship banner flutters in the wind.

Whether in the past or present, Kobe's career is lucky compared to many people.

Because even if he did a lot of wrong things, Los Angeles still gave him the most grand retirement ceremony.

Before meeting a truly good capitalist, Su Feng doesn't plan to play the "one person, one city" game.

Because only when you have been squeezed by the capital side will you know the grievances of the labor side.

And if you don't know the grievances of the labor side, don't persuade the labor side to be loyal.

Moral kidnapping, who knows how much Yao Ming missed in his previous life because of it?

...

Davis left silently, and what was exactly the same as Su Feng's "Wandering Iron Plan" was that just when the Western Conference Finals were fiercely fought, and the Hawks were lying down all the way in the Eastern Conference Finals...

On the 24th, when the Philadelphia 76ers announced their coaching change news, not many fans missed Davis.

Just as Manchester United's king Cantona said:

Seagulls follow the fishing boat because they think sardines will be thrown into the sea.

The people of Philadelphia, who were still saddened that the team was unable to reach the Eastern Conference Finals despite Su Feng's hard work, immediately forgot all the unpleasantness because of the arrival of Larry Brown.

Don't look at this era with the perspective and angle of time travel.

Because Larry Brown is the super coach of this era.

Philadelphia fans have already felt the team's determination to further strengthen, and the arrival of Larry Brown is like a signal that ignites the championship dream in the hearts of all Philadelphia fans.

On the other side, the news of Davis signing with the Raptors also came quickly, and at this time, the people of Philadelphia remembered this tool coach who had made outstanding contributions to the 76ers in the past season.

'I hope you have a good time in Toronto, John!'

Su Feng had read the novel "The Three-Body Problem" in his previous life. When Luo Ji could not save the world, he was garbage;

And when he could save the world again, he was a hero;

But when he was in power, he became a dictator in people's mouths;

Finally, until the end of the world, the one who persevered to the end was not the Virgin that people had been expecting, but...

Luo Ji.

Human nature is so subtle. At least in the summer of 1997, Davis's departure made Su Feng more determined...

To grasp his destiny in his own hands.

Let future generations comment on right and wrong.

"I'm very happy to be able to coach the 76ers! Allen and Su are both very remarkable young men.

The 76ers will focus on them in the next season, and our goal is the championship. I will definitely work with the team management to build a team that can compete for the championship!"

See... exactly as Su Feng guessed, forcing Larry Brown to step down?

With Larry Brown's EQ, even Chinese fans believe that Larry Brown will lead this 76ers team to its peak.

Brown may turn Milicic into a human victory cigar, but Su Feng and Iverson will be the key targets for him to kneel and lick next.

So, on the night of May 24th, Su Feng officially launched the "Wandering Iron Plan"...

The second stage!

...

Also on the night of May 24th, in Boston, Auerbach had just finished calling his former beloved general, Bill Sharman.

"No problem, Boss, my No. 21 jersey can be given to Tim!" Sharman readily agreed to Auerbach's proposal on the phone.

As we all know, playing for the Celtics, the most annoying thing is that you can't choose a jersey number.

As a caring person, Auerbach knows that if the Celtics want to keep Duncan in the future, they must start with the first step.

Perhaps Danny Ainge learned some of Auerbach's operations, but he definitely didn't learn Auerbach's interpersonal relationships.

These days, at home, Auerbach's children are stunned.

Because...

Auerbach is learning to make a dessert.

————Carrot cake.

"You all come and taste it. On the day of the draft, I want to make such a cake for Tim myself," Auerbach said with a smile, looking at his children.

My God...

Who is that man named Tim Duncan?

Why would the old man...

Be ten years younger overnight?

...

ps: The second update, 5600 words! It seems that the happy 20,000 words have to be delayed for another day =. =! Haha, let's do 11,400 words today, and continue tomorrow!
