Chapter 1 Since Becoming a Laker Starter

It goes without saying that Kobe had been in a great mood since becoming a starter for the Lakers this season.

Similar to Su Feng's memories, although this Lakers team lacked Fox in this life, Kobe's progress exceeded that of the same period, even to the point of going slightly astray. This led the team to a 12-3 record so far this season, ranking third in the West.

Additionally, Kobe, who averaged 17.8 points, 5.8 assists, and 4.4 rebounds per game this season, had also been selected for the Top 5 Plays multiple times with his no-look passes...

Yes, you read that right, "Magic" style no-look passes, not "Kings" style can't-see-who-he's-passing-to passes.

Kobe, who was determined to use Su Feng as a negative example, stubbornly believed that Su Feng's playing style was wrong...

And so, he went further and further down a path that was never meant for him...

But...

Perhaps because he wanted to show O'Neal that he could also play in the low post, Kobe had increased his low post offense in recent Lakers games.

O'Neal didn't pay much attention to Kobe's antics.

Because, in O'Neal's opinion, he had finally found such a perfect Pippen, so he should cherish him.

The only thing that made O'Neal somewhat "depressed" this season was that Hardaway could only sit on the sidelines during their visit to Orlando...

'It's tough, Anfernee!

Did you see that kid next to me who loves to show off? Isn't he much better than you?'

Well... it must be said, men's pleasures are sometimes quite simple.

If O'Neal's pleasure was showing off his love for Kobe in front of Hardaway, then Kobe's joy might be bullying poor Tracy...

There was nothing he could do, because the 76ers also had a good record this season, and Su Feng's stats were better than his, so Kobe had no desire to chat with Su Feng.

However, recently, after noticing the news that two famous coaches, Riley and Karl, had successively "criticized" Su Feng for being too selfish, Kobe felt that he should find a chance to comfort Su Feng.

After all, as Su Feng's best friend, how could Kobe watch Su Feng, like a fool, making all sorts of "silly" long shots?

However, after making several phone calls to Su Feng that day without getting through, Kobe felt that Su Feng must have had a mental breakdown and gone into seclusion.

'It's tough, little Su Feng!

With your stubborn personality that never listens to advice, who else would comfort you at this time besides me, who is understanding?'

Kobe had looked at the schedule and knew that the Lakers' game against the 76ers wouldn't be until next year, so Kobe figured that Su Feng would probably be "unhappy" for a long time...

…

New York, Madison Square Garden, Su Feng, who was warming up before the game, sneezed inexplicably.

Speaking of which, Su Feng felt that there were quite a few people talking about him behind his back recently.

Of course, Su Feng knew about Riley and Karl's "criticism" of him, but...

With Su Feng's understanding of these two old foxes, he didn't even need to look to know what these two old foxes wanted to do.

Because "criticizing" him at this juncture was not their style.

Su Feng's reputation was at its peak, and Nike and the league were pouring a lot of resources into him. In this situation, why would Riley and Karl, such shrewd people, "criticize" Su Feng?

In Su Feng's opinion, there was only one truth:

That was, these two were planting mines for Brown.

To make it explode, you must first let it expand.

Why are there so many schemes in life and reality?

Riley and Karl were playing a reverse scheme.

You thought they were praising Brown and stepping on Su Feng, but in reality, their target was Su Feng.

In the NBA, why do you think there are so many stupid trades?

Because in this league, there are old foxes like Riley and Karl!

Brown, who was good at reaping the benefits, was now in the game, and no matter how high his IQ was, it was easy for him to fall into the trap set by Riley and Karl.

Because no one would dislike others praising them.

As for the outside world's "criticism" of Su Feng, in Brown's opinion, this was a great opportunity for him to show Su Feng his "love."

Take this game against the Knicks, for example. With Iverson out due to injury, Brown not only promoted Stakhouse to the starting lineup but also specifically found Su Feng before the game to tell him to feel free to attack.

Honestly, if Su Feng didn't know that Brown could only rely on him after Iverson's injury, then Su Feng might have really been fooled by Brown.

After all, a rising star who has been heavily criticized by the outside world recently can easily develop a good impression of his head coach when he gains the coach's trust.

In Su Feng's previous life, the reason why Iverson respected Brown so much before they fell out was because every time Iverson was criticized outside, Brown would take the opportunity to fool Iverson.

How complex is the heart of the NBA world?

But whatever...

For Su Feng at the moment, he knew that no matter how things developed in the future, only by playing up to his value could he ensure that he could stand at the highest level and look down on others.

So, since Brown was begging him to play, why not play?

And just as Su Feng was warming up on the court...

"Lily... please tell me, why do we have to come to NBA games?"

Off the court, in a courtside seat, a blonde girl complained to her companion who was dragging her along.

"Alright, my dear princess, you are now a mature artist under Jive Records.

Therefore, you have to learn to live like a celebrity in advance," the girl named Lily replied to the blonde girl.

"Oh, I really want to stomp on your pancake face with your high heels, damn it, who said celebrities have to come to NBA games?" the blonde girl said impatiently.

"At least your idol Madonna doesn't think so, my dear princess," Lily said, shrugging her shoulders at the blonde girl.

"But Lily, tell me, why do we have to come to the arena a whole hour before the game starts?" the blonde girl asked in confusion.

"I asked Tom, and this game is a national broadcast, it's the focus game of the NBA this year.

Look, there are so many TV reporters, they will definitely take a picture of us when they see two cute girls sitting courtside," Lily winked at the blonde girl.

"So... Lily, you and Tom that night?"

The blonde girl gossiped as she hugged her best friend, while Lily proudly puffed out her small chest, indicating that she was already an experienced woman.

"Oh my god... Tom's... how could you even do it?" The blonde girl was stunned by her best friend.

"Tch, at least I'm better than someone," Lily rolled her eyes at the blonde girl, and then her gaze was attracted by Su Feng, who was warming up on the court.

"Is that Su, nicknamed 'Phenomenon,' 'Sweet Melon,' and 'King'?"

Although Su Feng's transnational good looks were not as influential in the United States as they were in East Asia, how could a hopeless romantic like Lily not be fascinated by Su Feng?

"My princess, did you see Su's sexy, strong muscles?" Lily said, pulling the blonde girl.

At this time, the somewhat listless blonde girl looked up at the figure practicing shooting on the court to appease her best friend.

And then...

"..."

"What's wrong?" Lily asked, concerned, looking at the blonde girl who had completely petrified.

"..."

"Hey, I said, being fascinated by a hunk isn't anything to be ashamed of.

With Su's body and face, there are plenty of people who want to line up to sleep with him," Lily nudged the blonde girl a couple of times.

On the courtside seat, the blonde girl covered her face with one hand and said, "I said I've met him before, would you believe it?"

Looking at the blonde girl's serious expression, Lily first nodded and then shook her head.

"You're just exaggerating... Su is a big shot, if you had met him before, you would have shown off to us a long time ago, right?"

"But I really have met him," the blonde girl stamped her foot and said.

"Okay... then did anything happen between you two?" Lily asked, half believing.

"No, nothing," the blonde girl shook her head.

"Tell me, honey, you wouldn't have seen him on TV, would you?

Believe me, that's not a very funny joke," Lily rolled her eyes at the blonde girl.

"No... do you remember when you tricked me into recording a song in Philadelphia?" the blonde girl asked.

"Uh... honey, didn't we agree not to mention that again?" Lily said somewhat awkwardly.

"I'm not talking about the thing you tricked me into, I'm talking about later, when I was almost molested by that producer, and I ran out, because I got lost, so..."

"So, you met Su, who fell from the sky?

And then he gently sent you back to the hotel, and you two... oh, damn, that's definitely the most cliche, rotten story I've ever heard.

Honey, please don't tell me that this kind of soap opera plot happened to you," Lily said, looking at the blonde girl.

"No, nothing happened between us, because he didn't even give me a chance to thank him," the blonde girl said.

"Then...

Isn't now the best opportunity to thank him?" Lily encouraged the blonde girl.

"But I feel like... he's already forgotten me," the blonde girl said.

"Wake up, there's no way you two could have any intersection.

You are just a small artist who has just signed with Jive Records, and he is a dignified NBA All-Star player.

I think you should have at least heard the legend of him defeating Michael Jordan, right?" Lily said.

"Lily... you weren't saying that about me just now, damn it! When you made me pay for the courtside tickets, you said I was already a big star..." The blonde girl widened her eyes and stared at Lily.

"Oh oh, sorry sorry, okay, you have to forgive me, my dear princess, but... I mean, since he helped you before, then you should thank him in person," Lily said.

"Then I'll try?" The blonde girl looked at Lily.

"Try, and if he answers you, remember to get an autograph for me," Lily winked.

"Damn it, I knew you wanted me to get you an autograph," the blonde girl stamped her feet and said.

"Hey, alright, my dear princess, isn't that because you're pretty?

It's said that smiling and pretty girls have good luck," Lily said righteously.

And so, the blonde girl...

Ahem, quietly moved to the side of the 76ers' bench, and waited until Su Feng was thirsty and went back to the bench to get a drink before she said to Su Feng:

"Hello, I'm Britney Spears, don't get me wrong, I'm not your fan, nor am I anyone else's fan, I'm not here to ask for your autograph, nor do I want to take a picture with you, I just want to tell you in person, 1, 2... two years ago, in Philadelphia, thank you for sending me back to the hotel."

"..."

Huh?

Brit... Britney?

Looking at the blonde girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, Su Feng came back to his senses after carefully looking at her for three seconds.

"You really forgot about that,"

Britney sighed, "But I still have to thank you, to be honest... I haven't watched you play basketball.

I also didn't know that you were the 'Chinese Sweet Melon' who defeated Michael Jordan, but..."

"I've always had a question I wanted to ask you, do I really look safe?" Britney seriously looked up at Su Feng and said.

Pfft————!

Su Feng laughed.

Because although he couldn't remember where he had met Britney, the phrase "look safe" sounded like something he would say.

"It's alright," Su Feng said, looking down at Britney after taking a sip of his sports drink.

If Su Feng remembered correctly, Britney shouldn't have become popular yet.

Although he didn't know much about Hollywood and the American entertainment industry, Su Feng remembered that Britney wouldn't become popular all over the United States until she released "...Baby One More Time" in 1999.

Of course, as sweet as Britney was in her early years, with her hot body and explosive looks, she would be just as eye-watering twenty years later.

In addition, before "Big Miss Swift" appeared, this girl was simply the number one scumbag detector in the American entertainment industry.

And that's about all Su Feng knew about Britney, anyway, this girl was pretty unlucky in terms of relationships.

The current 16-year-old Britney was indeed very sweet-looking and had a great figure, but for Su Feng, who had been surrounded by beauties in his previous life, Britney's attraction to him was really limited.

Therefore, after waving goodbye to Britney, Su Feng prepared to go back to the court to warm up.

But just then, Britney grabbed him, "You... did you just say... alright?"

Su Feng: "..."

"No, I think you must have misheard.

I clearly said that you are as beautiful as the dawn rising on the horizon, illuminating the entire Madison Square Garden." To avoid being held hostage by Britney, Su Feng improvised.

"But..."

"Alright, no buts, please let go of me, it wouldn't be good if people misunderstood me in the future, it would affect me finding a girlfriend in the future," Su Feng gave Britney a Melo-like smile.

"..."

Britney was stunned, because logically speaking, she had always been surrounded by a group of simps, how could she have ever experienced this kind of heartbreak?

…

On the court, the encounter with Britney did not disrupt Su Feng's rhythm.

Madison Square Garden, after the players of both teams finished warming up, the big screen then showed the starting lineups of the two teams tonight.

Knicks: Ewing, Oakley, Johnson, Houston, Ward.

76ers: Ratliff, Big Ben, Su Feng, Stakhouse, Snow.

Believe it or not, among the four major centers, Ratliff's least afraid opponent might be Ewing...

This game was not easy for the 76ers with Iverson out, but to be fair, Su Feng was really craving the Knicks' ridiculously high shooting percentage!

And if Iverson were to be absent when playing against other strong teams, the 76ers might be finished with Brown's offensive thinking...

But playing against the Knicks...

That's hard to say.

Van Gundy, who was getting balder and balder, had been frowning before the start of this game.

Because of the deep impression that the 76ers had left on him last season, after Van Gundy studied several of the 76ers' games this season, Van Gundy thought that the 76ers' offensive routines should not be so easily deciphered by him.

So, the question is...

How complex is the 76ers' offense this season?

On the court, after Ratliff jumped for the first attack for the 76ers, Van Gundy was even more nervous than the Knicks players on the court as he watched Su Feng, who had pulled up to the high post to receive the ball.

"Grandma," who was responsible for guarding Su Feng, had a big butt, and PK-ing with him in the low post was not a good choice in Su Feng's opinion.

Therefore, Su Feng, who glared at Snow and asked for the ball, decided to play the number four tactic this ball.

Um...

Su Feng's number four tactic, as the name suggests, means opening up the space with a 1-4 formation.

Su Feng, who was holding the ball with one hand, suddenly went to the left hand side after feinting twice against Johnson.

Johnson was very strong, but he was no match for Su Feng when it came to racing.

And seeing that Su Feng was about to break through Johnson's defense, the other four Knicks players simultaneously retreated, with the fierce-looking Ewing as the core, in a posture that said if you dare to come in, we dare to lock you down.

However, how fearless was Su Feng, who always liked to meet men head-on, when he charged up this ball?

Heaven is to the left, warriors are to the right, going forward is the essence of a Middle Eastern breakthrough!

However, Oakley on the wing decided to use a tackle to tell Su Feng that even if you are not afraid of death, it is useless in New York!

However, just as Oakley was rushing towards Su Feng with all his might, Su Feng's figure suddenly disappeared magically in front of him.

Right, left, right.

After Su Feng's magical footsteps were taken, the entire Madison Square Garden was shocked.

This was actually:

————The Euro step.

Of course, unlike Harden's Euro step in the future, Su Feng's Euro step was more like that of a certain Pampas eagle.

And it is worth mentioning that after playing the first "Battle of Destiny" with Duncan, the skill that Su Feng drew at that time happened to be...

"Original stunt: Snake-like dance step (Manu Ginobili original version)."
