At the start of the 99/00 season, a look at Su Feng's stats:

Host: Su Feng, Nationality: China, Age 22, Current Smithing Value: 1.847 billion (consumption already deducted).

Height: 198 cm, Height with shoes: 201 cm, Weight: 103.8 kg, Wingspan: 219 cm.

Su Feng's current stats [God-Given Talent 2.0] are:

Close Range Shot: 79 [85], Mid-Range Shot: 90 [95], Three-Point Shot: 84 [88].

Mid-Range Shot off the Dribble: 88 [96], Three-Point Shot off the Dribble: 84 [87], Fadeaway Shot: 89 [96], Shooting Under Pressure: 90 [98].

Passing: 76 [77], Fancy Passing: 73 [74], Vision: 73 [78], Dribbling: 84 [84], Ball Control: 84 [84], Fancy Dribbling: 86 [86].

Lateral Movement: 95↑ [?], One-on-One Defense: 88↓ [?], Help Defense: 91 [?], Defensive Awareness: 89↓ [?].

Stealing: 79↓ [?], Blocking: 68↑ [?], Offensive Rebound: 58 [67], Defensive Rebound: 67 [77].

Speed: 95 [109 (120)] (click to see speed attribute categories), Jumping: 103 [114 (120)] (click to view jumping attribute categories), Strength: 85 [85] (details of current strength attributes are not visible), Agility: 79.5 [84] (some attributes in the current agility attribute are not visible).

Su Feng's Speed Details: Maximum Sprint Speed: 96, Acceleration with the Ball: 95, Off-Ball Movement Speed: 96.

Su Feng's Jumping Details: Jumping Speed: 104, Hang Time: 102, Vertical Jump: 101, Standing Jump: 102, Jumping Ability Under Physical Contact: 104.

Note: The values in the square brackets are potential values. The question marks indicate that the system needs Su Feng's performance to make new potential ratings after the rules are updated.

After the NBA modified the rules in the 00/01 season, Su Feng currently only has his current defensive attributes rated.

↑ means that the ability has increased after the rating, and ↓ means that the ability has decreased after the rating. For example, stealing, because after the hC rules were cancelled, defensive players' hand movements cannot be as large as before, so Su Feng's stealing ability value has decreased slightly.

New attributes that appear after upgrading, the () in [], such as the speed attribute, refers to Su Feng's original potential value.

As explained before, in a reasonable system, ability values are interlinked. Therefore, Su Feng's weight and strength will affect his speed and jumping to a certain extent, so the current potential value is based on the value in [].

In addition, some ability values have not yet been displayed on the panel because Su Feng has triggered special skills, and will not be marked here, such as Su Feng's core strength of 86...

Note 2: The ability values in the system will show more and more sub-items as the system is upgraded.

Su Feng's Currently Equipped Badges: [Rock], [Kagero], [Nirvana], [Zuosi], [Bai Bu Chuan Yang].

Badges that can take effect without being equipped: [God Slayer].

Su Feng's Currently Equipped Shooting Motion: Feng's Pull-Up.

Su Feng's Unequipped Shooting Motions: A-level Curry College Shooting Pack, S-level Klay Shooting Motion Pack.

Note 4: The shooting motions equipped by Su Feng only provide bonuses and will not change his actual shooting motions. Currently, you can refer to a combination of McGrady + Kobe for Su Feng's actual shooting motions. In addition, because McGrady's pull-up has been integrated, it will not appear in the unequipped shooting motions here.

Su Feng's Currently Equipped Special Skills: Sam Cassell's "Sam High God" (Original), Crossing Step (Original), Snake Step (Ginobili Version), Feng's Fadeaway (Su Feng Version), Feng's Dunk (Original Carter Tomahawk Dunk Conversion Special Skill).

Su Feng's Unequipped Special Skills: Meteor Dunk (Su Feng Version), Crossover (Young James Version), Defensive Special Skill: Offensive Foul Creator,逍遥步 Xiaoyao Step (Gong Xiaobin Version).

Su Feng's Currently Equipped Trait: Shark Buster.

Note 5: The equipped special skills will also not change Su Feng's actual movements, only providing effect bonuses. Because Kobe's fadeaway and Jordan's fadeaway have been integrated by Su Feng, they will also not appear in the unequipped special skills here.

Finally, Su Feng's ability value is only for reference. After all, in reality, such as Su Feng's weight, build, and static talent, these cannot be reflected by ability values... (By the way, there are some badges and special skills that Su Feng once used for transition, I won’t emphasize them here, the old version of ability values have them).

…

…

I am very happy because after this month, I will finally get a full attendance award after four months of absence. It’s not easy, it’s really not easy, especially after experiencing so many things in the past few months, being able to gradually regain my state, I really have to thank all the readers for their patient waiting and continuous support.

Well, let’s save the words of thanks for later and talk about serious matters.

I have to say that after a series of foreshadowing, I have finally written the chaotic NBA situation that I have always wanted to write.

The cause and effect logic relationship of the plot has been explained very clearly in the book, and I told you before that in order to achieve this chaotic situation, I let Su Feng KO Jordan at the beginning of the book.

Yes, that's right, Jordan was beaten by Su Feng, which should be regarded as the source of all evil in this book, and also the beginning of the inspiration.

Because Su Feng defeated Jordan, the indirect or direct consequences are that in this time and space where Su Feng is located, the world line has undergone completely different changes from Su Feng's previous life.

So here, I would also like to say something to some new readers who have recently joined the bandwagon, that is...

This kid hasn't even started the new season yet, how can you guess what I'm going to write next except for the established plot? Before reading this book, could you have guessed that I would dare to let a protagonist kill Jordan in his rookie season and have two championships in hand at the age of 22?

You wouldn't, would you? Because if someone writes like this, not to mention the rationality, just talking about writing a complete 20 seasons, you would think he is talking nonsense, right?

But what about the result?

I am very happy again.

Because from the current point of view, after four seasons and more than 2 million words of foreshadowing, coupled with the fact that I have gradually regained my state, "Smithing" is proceeding as I expected.

That is, in addition to the protagonist who has been emphasized, the ending of the stars in this era has also become the content that many readers look forward to and want to see.

And this is very important for a novel that wants to write 20 seasons.

Because to write a complete 20 seasons, if I only write about the protagonist, then I think many readers will gradually get bored without even me getting bored myself.

But as the stars of the same era as Su Feng continue to improve and the plot continues to advance, in fact, more and more stars have begun to become the "protagonists" of this book.

In fact, it is really difficult for online novel authors to improve, especially when writing the same type of novels.

Especially sports articles with a natural outline.

So when writing "Smithing," I told you that I have read the works of many big shots and learned from their excellent experience.

For example, from W贼 (Wu Zei), I learned about the layout ability that I am not yet mature in, and from Hu Die Lan (Butterfly Blue), I learned about the group portrait description ability that I am also not mature in now, but am still making progress in, and how to maintain a good attitude during the flat period of the plot and patiently wait for the next climax to drive the plot.

In short, all of these learning and progress, coupled with the experience gained from writing "Hanging," I should have fully presented my progress in the "Smithing" article, and this is why "Smithing" can get 10,000 subscriptions.

Because compared to "Hanging," which is not very mature in many places, "Smithing" not only managed to write the most distorted plot in the most reasonable way, but also fully maintained the suspense of the next 16 seasons.

Therefore, for those readers who say that you are writing this wrong, you must write this way, okay, no need to read it, this season is not interesting... I just want to say one thing, if there was no foreshadowing in the previous two seasons, would Su Feng be so excited when he won his first championship? In addition, if Su Feng hadn't KO'd Jordan from the very beginning, would this book still be so suspenseful?

To put it bluntly, it is precisely because this book is interlinked that the lack of any season will make the next logic completely unconnected.

For example, if you don't see how Su Feng defeated Jordan, then you will feel very nonsense when you see Jordan joining the Raptors.

Therefore, to be precise, from the 00/01 season, "Smithing" has just begun to enter the rhythm that I want.

And here, I also hope that everyone can look at this book from a higher angle and perspective with the progress and changes in Su Feng's mentality.

I said, I will not overdraw the vitality of this book in advance in order to pursue short-term results.

Because I did this when I wrote "Hanging," and the result was that even the readers who liked to read distorted novels felt that the things I wrote were very nonsense.

What I want to pursue is the long term, the different aftertastes of each season, and the plot that can be savored by the readers at the end of each season after disrupting the layout.

It is when I completely explain Su Feng's career, the readers will look back and say: Wow, this book is so awesome!

And this is what I am constantly improving and wanting to bring to all the readers.

Short-term fun is really just for fun, and long-term fun must be accompanied by all kinds of interlinked plots.

And here, I have a lot of confidence in the Qidian readers, because if you just want to watch one or two seasons, Lu's science fiction basketball is really much better than me in this regard.

In short, the entire 99/00 season may have imperfections, but in my state at the time, after I finished writing this season that was responsible for connecting the past and the future, I was quite satisfied.

And now, I know that I have to write the next story in a better state.

So you have also seen that my updates have become more and more stable and more and more diligent recently.

Because according to my design, the subsequent seasons of this book will have more than 300,000 words or less than tens of thousands of words, averaging about 200,000 words per season, which is just right in my opinion.

Because this not only ensures the integrity of the season, but also allows the stars of the same era as Su Feng to have enough roles.

In the first million words, I focused on writing about Jordan.

And the middle million words are about Su Feng's personal growth and OK's beating history.

Then, the next 1 million words will be a star-studded era.

Then, there will be stories about Su Feng, as a veteran, playing with young people like James, Durant, and Curry.

And the entire plan should be completed between 5 million and 6 million words.

As for saying that I can write 10 million words...

Wake up, except for the million words before entering the NBA and the first season, unless I can write 600,000 words for each season next, then with my name as a short-lived, how can I possibly write 10 million words?

In fact, if I hadn't suddenly encountered so many accidents, this book should have already been written to the next chapter in November.

And this should be very clear to the readers who have caught up in one breath.

Because in fact, the number of words in a season of "Smithing" is not very large for a sports article, but a just right degree.

And I said before, too long seasons can easily lead to a feeling of procrastination when reading them in a row.

Therefore, except for the rookie season, even some seasons in which Su Feng will win championships in the future, in my design, if there are no important plots, they will not occupy too much space.

Because if there is no plot and I am still writing, wouldn't that be playing hooligans?

As for why the seasons in which Su Feng wins championships will be skipped by me?

Because... writing this book to this point, I believe that a considerable number of readers are not chasing it to see Su Feng win championships.

After all, in basketball articles, are there any protagonists who don't win championships?

Or are there any protagonists who win fewer championships?

Therefore... the best part of this book next is not the ending of Su Feng and these stars of the same era that you have always talked about?

And this...

Isn't this what I have been working hard on?

Because only in this way can the easily fatigued sports articles always maintain their suspense, right?

But to be honest, writing like this is really tiring...

Because not to mention looking up information, just designing these interlinked plots, sometimes I can think about it for nearly half a month.

But...

Because it's wonderful, so it's worth it.

I believe that I have taken that step to be able to get 10,000 subscriptions for "Smithing."

That is, to get out of the ivory tower of the previous book, to bring a completely different story to everyone with a better me and a new writing style.

And for novels of the same type, I think this is also the few changes that I can make desperately.

After all, essentially, basketball articles still have to be full of blood and passion.

Sometimes even a little bit chuunibyou (delusional).

In short, the bottom line is...

Since you have all given me so much patience before, then while I am working hard to adjust my state and write this book as my final work, why not be a little more patient and let us quietly appreciate Su Feng's magnificent career together?

In game novels, whether you have read Butterfly Blue's masterpiece "Quan Zhi Gao Shou" (The King's Avatar) or not, you should have heard of "Ten Years of Glory, As Always."

Then in basketball articles, why can't there be a novel that is "Twenty Years as One Day, Fighting All My Life, Laughing Proudly in the Martial World"?

I said...

My ambition is really big.

10,000 subscriptions is by no means just my expectation for this "Smithing."

What I am more looking forward to is...

After writing this book, while I am blocking my own path, I can also block the path of the neighboring kindergarten-level writing Shui Qie~! (Damn Shui Qie!)

Okay, tomorrow is the beginning of a new month~~! Everyone remember to give me some basic monthly tickets! Mwah!
