Chapter 8 Painfully Awake

On the morning of the 8th, Su Feng was "painfully" awakened by his own back.

Facts had proven that even Iron Man needed maintenance.

It was like even the best "car" needed to be "tuned up" every now and then.

Because ordinary nutrient solutions couldn't be used on game days, after playing for the better part of the season, Su Feng discovered...

His ability to take a beating seemed to have reached a new level.

"I'm worthy of being made in China!"

Speaking of which, neither Su Feng nor Iverson had signed up for this year's individual events, so Su Feng originally wanted to rest well until the evening before going to watch Kobe's performance.

However, just as Su Feng was about to go back to sleep...

"Quick, come with me to practice dunks. The dunk contest champion this year will be none other than me!" An excited Kobe came knocking on the door early in the morning.

Su Feng: "......"

Bro? Is your body made of iron?

Don't you need to sleep?

Just like that, a tired Su Feng was dragged straight out of bed by Kobe.

"I said, could you at least wait for me to put on my pants?" Su Feng said helplessly to Kobe.

Su Feng knew why Kobe was so excited because this year, he was participating in the dunk contest with...

Ray Allen.

Don't ask, just know that it was a battle for revenge, a battle to wipe out his humiliation.

In his previous life, although Kobe never admitted that he had any personal grudges with Ray Allen, in fact, in the record of Kobe's career duels with Ray Allen, Ray Allen could be said to be one of the opponents Kobe took the most seriously.

Before he had truly matured, Kobe's personality was like this: he could hold a grudge against you for life over a small matter.

Of course, in this life, Su Feng always felt that Kobe's EQ was unusually high when he was with him.

…

After accompanying Kobe to the training gym, as Su Feng had expected, Kobe was able to handle the several ideas he gave him.

You had to know that Kobe's physical talent was insane among the insane.

His flexibility and coordination were astonishing, so when you watched him play, even if he just dribbled the ball a couple of times, you felt like he had his own "beautiful as a painting" special effect.

Just like how Su Feng now, as soon as he started to break through, you felt like he had the aura of a "young swordsman."

In fact, many times, you could tell a player's style just by looking at their physique.

"Cool, so cool, Su, what is your brain made of? Why can you come up with so many crazy ideas?"

After practicing his dunks, Kobe was very confident about tonight's dunk contest. He was even eager to see the reaction of the fans and judges in the audience.

Looking at the confident Kobe, Su Feng really felt like he had come to a good era.

After all, in this era of the NBA, as long as you were strong enough, nothing could stop you.

You had to know that by the time the future arrived...

Even if you came up with extremely awesome ideas and a domineering talent, what could you do?

If they were going to give you a 9, you just couldn't get that extra 1 point.

…

On the evening of the 8th, "Ai Feng" appeared in suits.

At this time, the NBA individual events only had the Three-Point Contest and the Dunk Contest. As in Su Feng's memory, Steve Kerr broke through all the way, unable to stop himself, and directly won this year's Three-Point Contest championship.

When Kerr raised the championship trophy, the American commentators on the scene did not forget to tease Jordan, who had only scored 5 points in the Three-Point Contest that year.

The "old rogue" who was singled out for "praise" was not annoyed. He stood up and waved to the surroundings, as if he was the champion of this year's Three-Point Contest.

Look! What is called an "old rogue"?

During the three consecutive championships era, Jordan had no bottom line.

The young LeBron also came to the scene tonight and sat next to Su Feng. He was not talkative and was very sensible.

It was worth mentioning that Iverson completely shut himself down when he compared heights with James tonight.

Because...

12-year-old James was really about the same height as him.

"He can't be only 12 years old!" Iverson said firmly.

Su Feng laughed and didn't bother to argue with Iverson.

Speaking of which, on the court, after the Three-Point Contest ended, the six players participating in this year's Dunk Contest also made their appearances one by one.

As in Su Feng's previous life, the six players participating in this year's Dunk Contest were Ham, Finley, Ray Allen, Kobe, Kyle, and Sura.

As the youngest contestant in the history of the Dunk Contest, Kobe's performance tonight was highly anticipated.

The rules of the Dunk Contest at this time were different from those in the future. In the first round of the preliminary round, each player had three consecutive dunk attempts, and then the judges would score based on your overall performance.

Among the six players, three players would advance to the final.

In the final, each player had two dunk attempts, and the highest score was the valid score.

In Su Feng's previous life, Kobe was able to win this dunk contest, which actually took advantage of the rules.

Because his overall performance was average, he dunked the only decent ball of this dunk contest in the final.

At the scene, after the dunk contest began, the fans and judges who had high expectations for the competition were collectively disappointed...

Because Kyle, Ham, and Ray Allen, who took the stage first, all performed very generally.

Among them, Ham, who had broken the backboard in an NBA game, obviously suffered from being ugly.

He only scored 36 points for his three dunks with the highest completion rate, which drew boos from the audience.

There was no way. Although Ham's three dunks were all successful, there was always something wrong with each one. In short, young man, you are not handsome enough!

Kobe was the fourth to appear. On the court, the cool young Kobe, full of hip-hop style, tore off his training uniform and walked into the stadium singing and dancing, which attracted the collective attention of the fans in the audience.

It had to be said that in the NBA, singing, dancing, rap, and basketball, you could call it basic operations.

After Kobe appeared, the fans who were originally drowsy immediately opened their eyes.

Wow, this young man is good!

On the court, Kobe tossed the ball and took a running start, grabbed the ball in the air, completed a between-the-legs exchange, and dunked the ball in.

Kobe's dunk was full of elegance. After landing, he prepared for the second dunk while shouting 10 points, 10 points to the judges.

Kobe's second dunk was still an exchange after tossing the ball. This time, he went to the baseline. The only pity was that he was a little nervous and failed to dunk the ball in. (According to Su Feng's estimation, the truth should be that Kobe's hands were too small to hold the ball firmly.)

But the appetite of the fans in the audience had already been whetted by him. The third dunk was still LaVine's idea. Kobe started from behind the basket, tossed the ball and took a running start, and dunked the ball backwards with an exchange between the legs.

This ball was the most difficult ball Kobe had dunked during practice, but after failing the second dunk, Kobe withstood the pressure this time.

The young Mamba made two out of three dunks in the preliminary round, but according to the comprehensive score, he finally got a high score of 48 points.

At the scene, O'Neal, who came to cheer for Kobe on crutches, was very happy because the higher the talent the young Kobe showed, the more future the Lakers had.

At the end of the first round of the preliminary round, Kobe, who returned to the bench to rest, was very proud. If there were not so many people at the scene tonight, he would have to put his hands on his hips and say to Ray Allen, "Your dunks are nothing more than that."

The atmosphere of the Quicken Loans Arena was ignited by Kobe. In Su Feng's previous life, as one of the two men who saved the dunk contest, you had to say that LaVine's idea was really suitable for Kobe.

As for what to do with the poor little LaVine in the future?

Don't worry about it!

Su Feng had not watched LaVine's dunks in training, and besides, if you didn't block the way of these young people, how could you see more awesome things?

Those moves that White Jordan performed on the street court, as long as LaVine was willing, he could copy them and bring them to the NBA.

After the preliminary round, Kyle, Finley, and Kobe entered the final.

In the first round of the final, Kyle performed generally and only scored 42 points.

Finley staged a funny scene. He continuously somersaulted after tossing the ball, but he dunked the ball out.

The fans in the audience were shocked by Finley's dunk...

It had to be said that Su Feng felt that Finley's future popularity could not be compared with the four major point guards. Besides his strength, this dunk was definitely a stain on his career...

The commentators at the scene complained, "It's a pity that Michael (Finley) didn't go to the circus to play a clown."

Kobe was the last to appear in the final.

He used his own idea for this dunk. After a running start, he dunked the ball between his legs and scored. He was in good shape and scored 49 points for this dunk, almost locking in the championship in advance.

In the second round, Kyle and Finley gave up resisting. Kobe's last dunk invited Su Feng. Su Feng grabbed the ball under the basket. He ran up and caught the ball and dunked it between his legs.

Kobe's completion of this dunk was slightly worse than LaVine's in the future, mainly because Su Feng's big hands holding the basketball brought him invisible pressure.

Kobe also only scored 49 points for this dunk, but it was enough for him to win the championship.

Kobe, who became the youngest dunk king in NBA history, received applause from the audience when he raised the trophy.

Compared with Su Feng's previous life, Kobe's dunk contest was definitely a success.

Stern, who also came to the scene tonight, was also very satisfied with this year's dunk contest.

"Another young man who can be promoted!"

If Stern's mood at this moment were translated into Chinese, it would probably be:

This little Lower Merion has produced two geniuses, Su Feng and Kobe, at the same time. Amazing, amazing!

At the scene, the commentators of NBC TV had already begun to call Kobe "Little Flying Man," and when Kobe raised the dunk contest championship trophy, Jordan had been watching him silently from the side.

However, when giving his acceptance speech, Kobe still showed his youthful side.

Compared with Su Feng's speech, which did not look like an 18-year-old at all, Kobe, who was really 18 years old, was even so excited that he was incoherent when he took the microphone.

In his speech, the most common thing people heard was "lose, lose, lose."

In front of the TV, some bunnies who didn't understand English very well suddenly felt that the black boy in the TV was inexplicable.

Because who would keep cursing himself to lose?

Fortunately, at a critical moment, Zhang Weiping, whose English had become more and more fluent recently, knew to explain to the bunnies in time, "As Su Feng's high school classmate, we can hear that Kobe is constantly thanking Su Feng in his acceptance speech."

"Kobe said that many of his ideas tonight were provided by Su Feng," Zhang Weiping knew to add.

So that's how it is!

Director Zhang is awesome! Brother Feng is awesome!

The bunnies in front of the TV felt that Su Feng was so awesome!

In fact, it was not just the fans from the bunny's house who thought Su Feng was awesome?

After listening to Kobe's acceptance speech, Stern almost rushed to Su Feng and asked:

Since you have such good ideas, why don't you participate in the dunk contest yourself?

Heh, naive!

When LaVine's ideas were used up, Su Feng still had White Jordan's...

Not to mention that poor little Gordon in the future?

In order to prevent Gordon's future dunk dream from dying at 9 points, Su Feng had already made up his mind. After his jumping talent was full in 1999, in 2000, he would go to confront Carter!

What demi-god?

Su Feng was not even afraid of gods, let alone a mere cousin of Tracy?

Don't ask, just know that in Su Feng's notebook, Carter had already committed at least ten crimes of deceiving the emperor.

"No wonder, I said why Su could create the 'Meteor Dunk'..." On the sidelines, many of the fifty greatest superstars who were present tonight lamented.

"Now these juniors are more and more powerful."

"We're old... we're already old."

"It's the era of these young people..."

On the court, after giving his acceptance speech, Kobe ran excitedly to Su Feng and showed off his trophy to Su Feng.

"Do you want to touch my trophy?" Kobe smiled.

"No, thank you, I'll get my own." Su Feng spread his hands.

On the side, looking at Kobe, who was "carried away" at this moment, the young James added another stroke to Kobe in his notebook.

Sure enough...

He was a bad brother.

"Hey, kid, do you want to touch my trophy?"

Kobe, who was so happy, if he had been born in the era of live broadcasts, Su Feng believed that the first thing he would do now was to turn on the live broadcast room and show off his trophy to the world.

Then...

Su Feng estimated that the barrage would definitely be full of: needle thin.

On the bench, looking at Kobe, who turned his head to show off his trophy to him, the young James quickly shook his head.

Then, he tugged at Su Feng's sleeve and "hid" behind Su Feng and said, "In my opinion, 'the.king's' 'Meteor Dunk' is better than all your dunks tonight combined!"

Pfft!

Oh my god, to be able to force the extremely high EQ James to say such words, you can imagine how "carried away" Kobe is now.

Okay, in fact, Su Feng was also "impressed."

Because even if James was sensible, he was only 12 years old at this time.

After Su Feng had taken him as his idol, James was now a brainless fan of Su Feng.

In addition to the various "bad" impressions that Kobe had left on him before, James felt even more that Kobe was "bullying" Su Feng just now.

Su Feng smiled and stroked James' head, thinking to himself: He is worthy of being my Pippen!

Young man, you know how to take shortcuts at a young age. You have a bright future!

Kobe, who was still a little inflated, was instantly deflated by James.

Just like Su Feng was stabbed in the heart when he first met Curry last year, the unintentional words of a bear child are sometimes more hurtful than the serious words of an adult.

"Okay, congratulations, the youngest dunk contest champion in history.

Don't be so serious with LeBron, he's only 12 years old, you're already 18." Su Feng patted Kobe on the shoulder and smiled.

Kobe nodded weakly, and at this moment, the "lazy" Iverson added in a timely manner, "I don't believe LeBron is only 12 years old! He can't be only 12 years old!"

After Iverson's joke, the bench was immediately filled with laughter.

…

Just like that, the individual competition on the 8th came to a successful conclusion.

The All-Star Weekend was about to usher in its climax.

On the morning of the 9th, when "Ai Feng" stepped into the training gym, preparing to participate in the joint training of the Eastern All-Star team...

Unlike the joint training of the Eastern Rookie team before...

The aura of the entire training gym was obviously different.

Joe Dumars.

Glen Rice.

Tim Hardaway.

Chris Webber.

Dikembe Mutombo.

Anfernee Hardaway.

Scottie Pippen.

Patrick Ewing.

Grant Hill.

Michael Jordan.

Now, Su Feng and Iverson had officially joined this luxurious Eastern All-Star team.

If you were to ask Su Feng when he first felt that he had become a basketball superstar, then...

It was probably now.

Iverson, who had always been fearless, did not care about the gazes from all around when he walked into the training gym.

And Su Feng?

You might not believe it.

Under the gaze of the surroundings, Su Feng strode straight towards Michael Jordan.

What were you kidding? Time was limited, how could Su Feng waste a single second?

Stacking armor and taking a beating was the right thing to do!

"Hey, Michael, let's have a one-on-one!"

When Su Feng said this to himself, Jordan, who was practicing shooting, almost didn't hurt his back from Su Feng's words...

Huh?

One-on-one?

"How about we make a bet? $10,000 a game!" Seeing that the "old rogue" didn't want to play with him, Su Feng quickly used his ultimate move.

"Are you serious?

You have to know that here with me, once the bet starts, no one can regret it." Jordan laughed because, in his opinion, wasn't Su Feng giving him money?

"Of course I'm serious, but I have a request, Michael." Su Feng said to Jordan.

"What request?" Jordan asked curiously.

"That is, the winner cannot refuse the loser's request to play another game." It was worth mentioning that when Su Feng said this, he deliberately amplified his decibels, as if he was afraid that others would not hear him.

Heh... this person must have a fever, right?

Jordan thought Su Feng must have a fever.

Because in Jordan's opinion, how could he refuse Su Feng's challenge?

If this kid was willing to give him money for a day, then Jordan would be more than happy to do so.

Speaking of which, Jordan had a very strange problem, that was, in his opinion, the money he won from gambling was always more enjoyable than the salary he received directly.

"Okay, no problem at all." Jordan agreed to Su Feng's request.

On the side, Pippen's ears perked up when he heard that one bullfight was worth 10,000 US dollars!

What were you kidding? This kid was so rich?

You, you have money, you come to me!

Do you believe that I can play with you all day long!
