Though looks aren't everything.

But looking at this Miami media's preseason roster preview for the Heat next season...

Even Stern, far away in New York, couldn't help but tremble.

As a shrewd president...

Stern had already foreseen the public opinion impact the Heat could bring to the NBA next season.

As for New York...

The Knicks fans hadn't even had time to cry about Su Feng joining the Heat...

When "The Big Apple" had already become the largest "Awei's Graveyard" in America overnight.

Unlike entertainment stars.

In the photos of Su Feng and others disclosed by the Miami media, especially that photo of Su Feng shirtless doing shooting drills...

It was practically killing American girls and beautiful country's male mothers.

Oh heavens!

What kind of devilish figure is this?

In Su Feng's previous life, there was a saying in the American bodybuilding world:

Even if you feel like your muscles are invincible, never take a photo with those monsters in the NBA.

Otherwise...

"Little Brother" Johnson will be your fate.

After seven years of training, Su Feng's figure and build are very close to Jordan's in the 96/97 season.

And compared to muscles built on supplements...

Su Feng's muscles, whether in terms of lines or overall aesthetics, give people a very comfortable feeling.

See, isn't that...

Online, American sand sculpture netizens recently launched a discussion about who is the luckiest woman in the world.

As a result, more than 60% of American netizens voted for Britney.

Because in this day and age, who wouldn't want to touch Su Feng's big pectoral muscles?

Awei is dead!

And in the Rabbit Country, the rabbits called the "Su Mi Ji Ke" four the basketball version of "F4."

"It's already 2003, who still watches Serie A?

Can those handsome guys in Italy compare to our Heat 'F4'?"

"Goodbye, Prince of Rome!

I declare that from today on, I am a fan of the Miami Heat!"

Affected by the men's basketball team winning the World Championship last year, the time when the Rabbit Country entered a complete football desert was a few years earlier than Su Feng remembered.

Domestically, the popularity of basketball has gradually left other sports behind.

Originally, the popularity of basketball in the country would have to wait until Yao Ming reached his peak in the NBA before it could surpass football.

"No... this kid, are you sure he can really be your helper next season?"

And this day, at the Miami Iron House sub-base, looking at Darko Milicic, Kobe always felt that Su Feng would have something to cry about next season.

Having just celebrated his 18th birthday a few days before the draft, Milicic still had to rely on a translator to communicate with Su Feng and Kobe at this time.

Because yesterday, he was told by his agent that he would have to train with Su Feng this summer...

And if he couldn't satisfy Su Feng, he wouldn't get a minute of playing time next season, so...

On the first day he met Su Feng and Kobe, how flustered do you know Milicic was?

As a child, because his father was forced to participate in the Bosnian War, Milicic could only rely on his mother to do hard labor to raise him.

And in the year he turned fourteen, because Milicic was recruited by a local basketball team, in order to prevent Milicic from losing at the starting line, his mother even sold the family property in exchange for a cow.

And the purpose was just to allow Milicic to drink milk every day.

In addition, on Milicic's path to growth, almost every moment, he had to worry about being bombed to death by the bomber that could appear in the sky at any time.

Therefore, war and poverty have already made this only eighteen-year-old boy more mature than his peers.

How could a boy who grew up in war have such a fragile mentality?

In Su Feng's previous life, even after sitting on the bench for three years in Detroit, have you ever seen news of Milicic tearing up Larry Brown?

Due to the pressure of making a living, Milicic had to stay in the NBA to play, so even if he carried the stigma of being a "bust lottery pick," he had to endure it.

Because he had no retreat, he couldn't let his family return to that poor life again.

Therefore, what if he gave up his talent and changed his style of play, just to be an ordinary meat shield?

As long as he could stay in the NBA, he could let his family live a carefree life.

In Su Feng's previous life, after retiring from the NBA, Milicic transitioned to being a boxer and was also a farmer.

In short, from beginning to end, what this unlucky kid pursued was just the peaceful, ordinary life that most rabbits could easily obtain.

Therefore, in Su Feng's view...

What Milicic lacks is not a tough character and the quality of being able to endure hardship...

What he lacks is actually ambition.

An ambition like Little Yao.

The ambition to dare to punch Feng-ge in his rookie season.

And after meeting Milicic this day, Su Feng was even more convinced of his idea.

Because...

In order not to make himself angry...

Basically, this day, whatever Su Feng asked Milicic to do, this guy would honestly do it.

He seemed to be a soulless walking corpse.

Even if Su Feng wanted to beat him up to vent his anger, he would probably actively offer his face in the next second.

On the training ground, whenever Su Feng was on the court doing shooting drills, Milicic would obediently be a ball boy responsible for picking up the ball.

And now...

Kobe, who was observing from the sidelines, was anxious.

Because Kobe is the kind of person...

The thing he likes to do most in this life is teaching others how to play basketball.

"He's too unoriginal! With his personality, if he really gets on the court, wouldn't he be completely dominated by monsters like Shaq?"

During the training break, with his arm around Su Feng's shoulder, Kobe complained.

Hearing this...

Aside from Milicic's personality...

Su Feng really wanted to say to Kobe:

So, you also know that O'Neal is a monster on the court!

"Looks like we have to think of a way." Touching his chin, Su Feng said to Kobe.

"I can't control that, it's your team's own business." Kobe said.

"Hey... I heard Britney say that some top-quality beef seems to have been airlifted from Japan this morning.

Hiss, should I make Wellington steak tonight, or..."

"Actually, I just thought about it again...

Although this is your team's own business, as your best friend, if I'm not willing to help you, then you can't expect that bastard Tracy, right?" Looking at Su Feng, Kobe said after licking his lips.

Heh!

Men!

Inside the training hall, after settling Kobe with a big meal...

A plan called "No Oppression, No Resistance" began.

First of all, because Milicic's endurance had exceeded his imagination, so in order to teach this child to resist, Su Feng decided that Kobe would play the white face and he would play the black face, to further oppress him.

Secondly, in order to break through Milicic's psychological defense in the shortest possible time, Su Feng also learned in detail about the child's life experience through Milicic's agent.

In short, compared to this child's improvement on the basketball court...

In Su Feng's eyes, the cultivation of mental attributes is the most important thing for Milicic.

Otherwise, like Kobe said...

If he really meets a monster like O'Neal on the court...

With Milicic's personality...

Wouldn't he be hammered to death?

You must know that the thing O'Neal likes to do most in this life is to bully players on the court who dare not fight back and dare not talk back.

And in the NBA...

There are quite a few interior players with bad personalities like O'Neal.

"I... don't I have to play in the Summer League?"

This day, after learning that he didn't have to participate in the Heat's Summer League, Milicic said with a blank expression.

"Summer League? With you as you are now?

Oh, my God, you don't really think that your style of play, which is as soft as a 'cupcake,' can play in the NBA, do you?" Kobe couldn't help but mock from the side.

And according to Su Feng's request, Milicic's translator must translate Kobe's original words to Milicic without missing a word.

As a result, looking at Su Feng and Kobe's ferocious eyes, Milicic panicked.

"No, Su... didn't we agree that you would play the white face and I would play the black face?

Why are you following me..." Looking at Su Feng's gaze that was even fiercer than his, Kobe couldn't help but say.

"Kobe, I feel like there's no need for this child to play the white face anymore...

So I think, let's both do it this time!" Patting Kobe's shoulder, Su Feng replied.

And after taking a look at Milicic's expression, which didn't even dare to talk back and was aggrieved, Kobe felt that what Su Feng said seemed to make a little sense.

So, in the next few days, Milicic's days were miserable.

Because when he was picking up the ball for Su Feng, even if he greeted him with a smile, he would only be retorted by Su Feng: "Does brother have no hands? Do I need you to pick up the ball?"

And when he was handing water to Kobe, even if his attitude was good, he would only be retorted by Kobe: "What are you doing? Do you think brother is bullying you and won't go pour water himself?"

Milicic: "..."

In mid-July, when Ginobili and Odom ended their vacations and came to receive Su Feng's guidance according to Riley's instructions, Ginobili and Odom were dumbfounded.

Because what was said...

Wasn't Su Feng an approachable and gentle leader?

Where the hell is this approachable!

Odom, who had been bullied by Kobe in the training camp that year, knew about Kobe's nitpicking personality.

So, in order not to follow in Milicic's footsteps, these two days, when training, you might not believe it when I tell you...

Odom's enthusiasm when carrying Su Feng's bag once made Su Feng laugh and cry.

"Lamar, can you increase your three-point shooting ability in the summer?"

And for the instructions issued by Su Feng, Odom took a serious attitude.

Practice three-pointers?

Okay, Lord Su, I'll go practice!

In Su Feng's previous life, as a forward who could hold the ball on the court, Odom, who was 208 cm tall, not only had the agile skills of a guard, but he was also a player with very good physical fitness.

Su Feng knew that besides Ginobili, his most reliable helper on the court next season was probably this guy.

So Odom must ensure that his open three-pointers have a certain hit rate.

Otherwise, when he holds the ball at the high post, he can't even attract defense, so how can he help himself share the organizational pressure on the court?

Due to the butterfly effect he caused, the NBA has entered the three-point era ahead of schedule, so if the Heat don't have enough shooting points on the court, then the space for him on the court will inevitably be compressed by the opponent through zone defense.

As for Ginobili...

To be honest...

Teaching Milicic how to play basketball is okay, but if you want Su Feng to guide Ginobili, then it's really too much.

In the communication with Ginobili, it's better to say that these two people are sharing their experiences than to say that Su Feng is guiding him.

In the 02/03 season, in the Heat, Ginobili averaged 13.4 points and 4.6 assists per game.

Having initially adapted to the NBA, he only needs to strengthen his core strength a little more, and he will be transformed into the妖刀 (demon blade, meaning unexpectedly lethal skill or player) in Su Feng's memory.

Of course, in terms of experience, the current Ginobili is definitely not comparable to the future Panamanian vulture.

"I've seen the 'Chinese Step' you created. When I was playing in Europe, I often watched your videos to learn." This day, when exchanging skills with Su Feng, Ginobili said to Su Feng.

Hearing this...

Su Feng's face turned red instantly.

Oh!

Look at my damn seniority!

I have to say, in this life, Su Feng has really become a guiding light for many people.

For example, McGrady...

Wasn't the "Sun King's" dry pull-up taught by himself?

And Kobe...

If it weren't for himself, how could he have learned that style of play that removed the pass key?

And this day, when sparring with Ginobili, Su Feng also successfully triggered a new task given to him by the system.

"Ding!

Through communication with Manu Ginobili, you have gained a deeper understanding of the 'Snake Step.'

Now, it's time to try to completely transform it into your exclusive skill!

Task: The birth of the 'Feng's Dance Step.'

Task Requirement 1: In the next two seasons, use a total of 233 Euro steps to complete the finish on the court.

Task Requirement 2: In daily training, defeat Ginobili 500 times in one-on-one.

Task Completion Reward: 'Snake Step' Skill Transformation Card.

Task Failure Penalty: None."

Lei! Lei! (Internet slang, meaning speechless/overwhelmed/thunderstruck)

Feng's Dance Step is Lei!

Looking at the task that the system suddenly gave him, touching Ginobili's head, Su Feng always felt that the most correct thing he had done last year was to hint at Riley to exchange for Ginobili's signing rights.

Worthy of being his second-in-command!

He hasn't even played together yet, and this Panamanian eagle has already given himself such a great gift.

Since Su Feng's exclusive skills will be more suitable for his own style and characteristics in terms of adaptability, therefore, looking at this new member of the "Feng Family" who is about to be born, Su Feng was already imagining his beautiful future in his mind this day.

And just when Su Feng was having fun with his friends in Miami...

In July, several major events happened in the NBA.

First, Nelson and Cuban had a conflict.

Last season, because he was black-sevened by the Grizzlies led by Van Gundy, Cuban questioned Nelson's style of play that only pursued offense and did not pursue balance.

As a result, after the two had a big fight, Nelson left Dallas without looking back.

According to ESPN, after leaving the Mavericks, Nelson will reach a five-year agreement with the Golden State Warriors.

And before Nelson arrived in Oakland...

As in Su Feng's memory, the Wizards used a contract that the Warriors could not match to dig Arenas from Oakland shortly after the free agent market opened.

And at this point, Stern finally discovered a fatal loophole in the NBA regarding the renewal of second-round picks.

As we all know, according to the existing rules of the NBA, free agents who have been in the league for less than 3 years are restricted free agents.

And since they are restricted free agents...

Then other teams can naturally offer him offer sheets.

And if the contract offered by other teams is larger than the contract opened by the parent team with the early bird exception, and the parent team does not have enough salary space to match the offer, then they can only watch their players being dug away by other teams.

See...

Isn't the Warriors equal to helping the Wizards train a max-level account?

Because the Warriors' salary cap is limited, so when renewing Arenas' contract, even if they want to give Arenas a big contract, they can't do it.

And in order to better protect the rights and interests of the parent team...

After Arenas was dug away by the Wizards, in late July, Stern also urgently convened an NBA high-level meeting at the NBA headquarters in New York.

Su Feng knew that, barring any accidents, the "Arenas Rule" would be released soon.

But...

Facts will prove in the future that even if people make the rules as good as possible, there will be corresponding loopholes.

……

At the end of July, James and Anthony, who had finished playing in the Summer League in Long Beach, also officially joined Su Feng's "Summer Iron-Making Army."

In this year's Summer League, the performances of these two once again impressed the NBA scouts present.

But compared to James and Anthony...

Su Feng was more concerned about Haslem, who reported to the Heat training camp in the summer.

As in Su Feng's memory, Riley immediately took a fancy to Haslem's down-to-earth, hardworking, and excellent qualities, and decided to offer him a two-year veteran minimum contract.

In addition, this time, before James decided to come to Miami to train with him, he also told himself on the phone that he had made a good friend while playing in the Summer League.

And even with his eyes closed, Su Feng could guess who this friend James made was.

Dwyane Wade.

Su Feng's previous life's "Miami Cheeky Guy," this life's "Atlanta Eagle King."

Sure enough, the bond of the Banana Boat Four Brothers will not be cut off even if it is affected by the butterfly effect.

And as a "Human Wade Encyclopedia," in Su Feng's view...

Wade in this life is probably going to become a VIP member of a certain club in Atlanta.

I have to say,缘 (yuan - fate/destiny) is really wonderful.

I just don't know...

Will Wade become the "Nightclub King" in this league before Harden enters the league?

And as more and more members joined the Iron House...

Recently, Milicic can be said to be living in a sea of ​​misery every day.

But so what?

In Milicic's view, as long as Su Feng doesn't drive him away...

Then even if it's hard and tiring and he's bullied, he will persevere!

"To my dear sister Yuna...

I heard that you haven't been eating well recently.

Haha, your handsome older brother is going to play in the NBA next season!

You have to eat well, because now is the time for you to grow.

The climate in Miami is very good, and the people I met here are also very good, everyone is very nice to me.

And if you have the chance, you really have to try the food made by Su.

Well, that is, your favorite current number one star in the NBA.

Unexpectedly, he is a culinary expert!

Hehe, aren't you very envious of your older brother?

Wait, when your older brother makes a lot of money, I will bring you and Mom over from our hometown.

And by that time, we will no longer have to worry about hearing that damn air raid siren every day..."

This day, after sending an email to his sister Yuna Milicic, Milicic suddenly collapsed on the table like a deflated balloon.

I...

Can I really persevere?

Looking back on the training and life of the past half a month...

In many times, Milicic thought about giving up.

But...

When he thought of the frightening life in his hometown every day...

When he thought of the scene of his mother milking cows for him every day to support him in playing basketball...

"What do these count for?"

After slapping his cheeks hard, Milicic cheered up again.

"To be honest, I admire that kid a little now." And this day, when having a late-night conversation with Su Feng, Kobe couldn't help but say.

"Because ordinary people...

It's impossible to persevere like this." After pausing, Kobe added.

Hearing this, Su Feng smiled.

Because he knew that in his original timeline...

Under Larry Brown, Milicic suffered even worse blows at that time, and he persevered.

"No... it's so late, why are you still in my room?"

Looking back at Kobe, who was staying on his bed, Su Feng asked with a puzzled expression.

"Vanessa hates that I haven't been with her lately... she's already locked the door, you can't let me sleep on the floor, can you?" Kobe said to Su Feng.

"And your girlfriend isn't here, what's wrong with me staying in your room for one night?"

Noticing Su Feng's reluctant look, Kobe said righteously.

Su Feng: "..."

Alright...

I'll give you this bedroom, okay!

Looking at Kobe, who had already laid out the big character on his bed, Su Feng was completely convinced.

And just as he pushed open the bedroom door, preparing to go to another bedroom...

Suddenly, a sound of dribbling coming from not far from his residence immediately attracted him.

"Ah, did I disturb you from sleeping?

Because... because the door to the training hall is closed, so I...

I want to practice dribbling."

Because in the past period of time, Milicic's main job during training was to be bullied by Su and Ke together, so in order to avoid his ball feel from decreasing, Milicic would go to the training hall to practice extra after Su and Ke fell asleep these days.

But this night, because the person responsible for closing the door was James, who had obsessive-compulsive disorder...

So when Milicic went to practice extra with a basketball, he found that the door to the training hall was locked tightly.

Therefore, intending to practice dribbling before going to sleep, he specially found a quiet place to do dribbling training.

But who would have thought...

He would happen to run into Su Feng, who was kicked out of the bedroom by Kobe.

"Your English is improving quite fast." After sizing up Milicic, Su Feng said.

Hearing this, Milicic, who was a little afraid to answer, nodded and quickly gave Su Feng an obedient smile.

"Am I that scary?"

Looking at Milicic's aggrieved expression, Su Feng couldn't help but think to himself.

"It's too late, don't practice, if you don't get enough rest, it will affect the next day's training." After pondering for two seconds, Su Feng said to Milicic.

Milicic nodded.

"Oh right...

Anyway, I can't sleep, why don't you play a one-on-one with me!" After thinking for a while, looking at Milicic, who was about to walk back to his room, Su Feng said.

"Ah... one-on-one?" Milicic quickly turned around and asked.

"Yeah, one-on-one." Su Feng smiled.

……

This...

Is this the strength of the current number one player in the NBA?

About half an hour later, at the Iron House sub-base, looking at Su Feng, who easily beat him 21 to 4, Milicic was completely convinced.

Because no matter what kind of skills he used, in front of Su Feng, he was as immature as an infant.

And as a sport in which big guys have a natural advantage, Milicic never expected that his height was simply a decoration in front of Su Feng.

And his low-post turning skills, which he was so proud of, were even more defenseless in front of Su Feng.

"The technique is indeed good..."

But...

Compared to Milicic, whose mentality had already been shattered by him, Su Feng felt Milicic's talent that made the scouts applaud in this one-on-one with Milicic.

The lack of confrontation, judging from Milicic's model, he only needs to strengthen his core strength while hanging a little bit of meat to solve it.

But this guy's talent in terms of skills is something that others can't teach no matter how hard they try.

However, just when Su Feng was about to give Milicic some pointers on this one-on-one, Milicic took the initiative to say because he was afraid of being scolded:

"I know, my skills are a bit flashy.

I will try to improve my confrontation next!

Please believe me! I will definitely become a qualified NBA interior player!"

Su Feng: "..."

And maybe because he was worried that Su Feng, this team bully, wouldn't believe him, after pausing, Milicic added:

"I know... the current me is only worthy of carrying your bag.

Because when I'm backing down, I can't even move people.

But...

As long as you give me time...

As long as..."

Alright, if he let this guy continue to talk, Su Feng always felt that this guy was about to cry.

So, after taking the initiative to stand on tiptoe and rub Milicic's head, Su Feng smiled and said, "Why do you think your skills are flashy?"

"I... I..."

"And, who said that you need to improve your confrontation ability?" After squinting and smiling, Su Feng said.

"Then... which direction should I work hard in next?" Milicic asked cautiously.

"Keep everything you have now.

Of course, if you want to get playing time after the start of the new season, then you must strengthen your shooting stability.

See, I need you to guarantee your shooting percentage here, and there!"

On the training ground, looking at the position Su Feng pointed to, Milicic was shocked.

Because that was clearly the high post at two 45-degree angles on the court, and...

The three-point line!

"You're only 18 years old now... I don't recommend you do high-intensity strength training, because that's likely to affect your development.

So, you must learn how to use your intelligence on the court to compete against those players who are stronger than you." Su Feng said.

"That way, can I play in the Heat?" Milicic said.

"All you're thinking about is being able to play in the Heat?" Su Feng suddenly became serious.

"I... but I..."

"If all you're thinking about is being able to play in the Heat, then I feel like you can go back to Serbia and Montenegro now." Su Feng said to Milicic with a solemn expression.

And now, Milicic suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"When I was 16 years old, I met Kobe, no matter how I played, I couldn't beat him.

And when I was 18 years old, I entered the NBA like you, and as a result, I was arranged to face Michael Jordan as soon as I came up.

And on that night, I was blown up by the strongest player in the league at the time.

But, I never felt that I was playing in the NBA for the so-called playing time." Looking at Milicic, Su Feng said.

"Then... then what are you... persevering for?" Milicic mustered up the courage to ask.

"Me?

Of course, it's to become the strongest player on this planet in the past five hundred years and the next five hundred years!" Su Feng said word by word.

"Remember!

You are the third pick chosen by the Miami Heat!

I don't care what others think of you, and I don't care what your pursuit in the NBA is.

I just want to tell you...

Before I joined the Heat, you were the second-in-command I personally appointed!" After kicking Milicic's butt hard, Su Feng added.

And although Su Feng's kick hurt a lot...

But he didn't know why, Milicic always felt that on this night, he had gained something far more important than skills.

"Go to sleep! Although the night is long...

But do you know why humans are not afraid of the night, because the sun will definitely rise on time the next day." After patting Milicic's back, Su Feng left the training hall.

And the next day...

When Kobe got up from Su Feng's bedroom, he was about to walk into the training hall and pk with Su Feng, but he never expected that at four in the morning in Miami...

There were actually creatures who got up earlier than him and Su Feng!

Look, that's LeBron James.

The number one pick in '03.

Look, that's Anthony, who was kicked out of bed by James and is having a morning tantrum.

The second pick in '03.

Here, that's Darko Milicic, whose whole aura has already changed quietly.

The third pick in '03.

In the post-Jordan era, new wildflowers have appeared.

"No, where's Su?"

And for Su Feng's behavior of sleeping in, Kobe immediately poured a basin of cold water on Su Feng's head, who was still asleep at the time.

Su Feng: "..."

"Wake up, it's already 4:30, are you still sleeping?" Kobe said angrily.

And on the day that Su Feng was dragged from bed to the training hall by Kobe...

After Arenas was dug away, in Oakland, which had already fallen into despair...

Nelson also began his骚 (sao - mischievous/flirty) operation.

"Steve... are you willing to play for me?"

After dialing Nash's phone, who had also jumped out of his "4+1" contract with the Raptors, Nelson said affectionately on the phone.
