All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball
Chapter 48 Come with me! (Still 6,000+ words seeking death)
Just like most Chinese people suffer from prosopagnosia when they look at foreigners, in fact, most foreigners also suffer from prosopagnosia when they look at Chinese people.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything.
Because most Chinese people can remember the heroines in European and American fighting blockbusters.
Ahem, let’s get down to business.
In the summer of 1995, when McGrady saw Su Feng for the first time, believe it or not, McGrady really opened his eyes and looked at Su Feng for a while...
Su Feng indeed has good looks that transcend national boundaries.
In Maddie's opinion, Su Feng looks very similar to a Chinese star named Zun Long.
But Su Feng has his own unique aura and charm;
His eyes are like stars and bright moon, making you unpredictable;
He is neatly dressed and slightly thin;
But every inch of his body seems to be built to perfection...
Is this person a celebrity?
The above is the first impression Su Feng left on McGrady. (My writing power is limited and I apologize for the lack of immersion!)
On the court, after Tracy McGrady arrived, the group of black teenagers who had been "beaten" by Su Feng before immediately burst into cheers.
After staring at Su Feng for a while, Maddie looked at Su Feng calmly and said, "I've never seen you before."
Su Feng nodded and said with a smile, "I'm from Pennsylvania."
Pennsylvania?
Looking at Su Feng, Maddie seemed to remember something.
Although McGrady seemed a little tired thinking about this kind of thing, in a daze, McGrady thought of Kobe.
McGrady and Kobe met at a high school basketball invitational game.
In Su Feng's previous life, after McGrady entered the NBA, McGrady could be said to be Kobe's most orange friend.
During their vacation, their favorite things to do are to watch soap operas and visit amusement parks together.
It is worth mentioning that in the various versions of Kobe's autobiographies and biographies that Su Feng read in his previous life, Kobe has never been stingy in describing Tracy McGrady, and there is no doubt about his true love.
In addition, in the NBA, McGrady has created many myths and left many regrets.
At 35 seconds and 13 minutes, he scared out a whole set of Tim Duncan memes.
During the 22-game winning streak, he seemed to be back at the peak of the Magic, capable of anything.
Watching Yao pass the first round off the court, he knew he would never go back to his past.
Su Feng knew McGrady because he won the scoring title with the Magic, and he knew McGrady deeply because he was Yao Yao's teammate and formed Yao Mai's classic CP.
But Su Feng really understood McGrady because of Kobe.
"Pennsylvania? Philadelphia?" McGrady suddenly asked on the court.
Su Feng smiled and asked curiously: "Do you know me?"
McGrady shook his head slowly, "I don't know you, but I know Kobe."
Then, Maddie added: "Why come to Auburndale?"
Su Feng spread his hands and said, "Because I am already invincible in Philadelphia, and there is no point in going one-on-one with Kobe.
Kobe couldn't beat me no matter what, which made me feel a little lonely.
But Kobe said that there was someone in Florida that he couldn't beat, so I wanted to come find this person.
And after seeing you, I think I found it.
Hi Trish. First time meeting, my name is Su Feng. "
When she heard "Tracy", Maddie's eyebrows twitched unnaturally. I have to say that Su Feng is good-looking, but...
Why are you talking?
"Really? But I heard Kobe say that he had a new teammate at Lower Merion.
My name is Su, and I am Chinese.
Kobe said that this new teammate was abused by him every day, and the most ridiculous thing was that this person never admitted his defeat every time he lost one-on-one.
Kobe Bryant said that even the most rogue liar in the world is not as bad as him.
By the way, Kobe also said that this man's dream is to play in the NBA.
In addition, in order to help this man realize his dream, Kobe ignored his friend's invitation.
I think we're talking about the same person, right? "
McGrady's tone of voice was obviously very calm, but Su Feng felt that every word he said was like a sharp blade...
Damn it!
Didn't you agree that you would kill someone without any regrets?
Su Feng was very angry because he never expected that Kobe would actually mention him to McGrady on the phone.
And the most annoying thing is, how can I be as scoundrel as Kobe said?
"You came to Auburndale just to have a one-on-one with me?" McGrady asked as he looked at Su Feng.
"Yes, that's right, because you are my new tool!" Of course, although Su Feng thought so in his heart, he definitely couldn't say that.
Su Feng nodded and threw a basketball next to him to McGrady, "Do you want to play?"
At this time, on the court, the onlookers, the black teenagers, were cheering McGrady on. After looking around the court, McGrady's sleepy eyes suddenly revealed a murderous look.
Because what Su Feng didn’t know was...
Kobe also mentioned it during the phone call with Tracy McGrady.
Su Feng's defense is far superior to McGrady.
so......
It's all Kobe's fault, Benzema refuses to take the blame!
McGrady also wanted to see who this person who could be praised to the heavens by Kobe was.
…
On the court, McGrady takes the lead. There is one thing to say, McGrady's talent is really awesome.
In Su Feng's previous life, when Tracy McGrady first entered the NBA, he was about two meters tall.
Of course, some say it is 198 centimeters, some say it is 201 centimeters, and some even say it is 203 centimeters...
After all, at the moment, the NBA’s official height is just a look, don’t take it seriously.
Because he was worried about being assigned by the coach to play inside after entering the NBA, McGrady, who wanted to play guard, deliberately kept his height shorter.
But as he grew later, many people believed that McGrady's actual height was already 205 centimeters or even higher.
In addition, McGrady's wingspan is about 220 centimeters, his 40-yard sprint can run in 4.4 seconds, and his run-up jump even reaches 44.2 inches.
In the NBA, with an unpredictable first step and a huge second and third step...
In the 2002/03 and 03/04 seasons, in the last version of the HC rules, McGrady averaged 32.1 points and 28 points per game respectively, winning the scoring title for two consecutive seasons.
In the future, many people will think that McGrady is the most talented among the four shooting guards because of his exaggerated talent.
Iverson is fast, but he doesn't have McGrady's height.
Carter is known as UFO, but his ball-handling talent and speed are slightly worse than his cousin.
Kobe is known as the little blacksmith, but McGrady’s blacksmithing skills...ah, Kobe has small hands and has always been envious of McGrady’s big hands.
It can be said that among the four major shooting guards, McGrady has the qualities that the other three have, but they may not necessarily have the qualities that McGrady has.
Unfortunately, McGrady has congenital scoliosis, and his daily life is not affected. However, as he plays more and more high-intensity NBA games, and in that era, health-preserving methods and wolfberry tea were not yet popular, so lack of durability has always been McGrady's problem. .
Of course, as one of the four shooting guards, McGrady, like the other three, is affected by the environment in which he grew up, and he also has a "unique" character...
Bang-dang——!
In the first round of Su Feng VS McGrady, McGrady won.
This time on defense, even though Su Feng had minimized his focus, McGrady's first step was too fast.
After being deceived by McGrady's Crossover move, Su Feng failed to keep up with McGrady's devilish pace.
As a result, McGrady jumped high and sent the basketball into the basket with a wonderful one-handed dunk.
On the sidelines, except for the group of black teenagers applauding McGrady, the three trainers Su Feng had hired before were dumbfounded...
As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, while insiders watch the door.
Fraser was surprised and said: "My God, is genius so worthless now?"
Alanstan was also shocked, "Is this child still human?"
Mancias shook his head. When he was making plans based on Su Feng's physical condition, he already felt that Su Feng was a genius, but...
What is talent?
Many people will say in the future that the four major shooting guards and the four major PFs are just the products of Stern to replace Jordan and the four major centers.
But these people don't even think about it. To praise you, you have to have real abilities!
In Su Feng's view, the most abnormal thing about McGrady is not his jumping or his speed, but his unique skill of leaning over and dribbling.
Many people will blame Tracy McGrady in the future, but let’s not talk about whether to brag or not. You must know that Tracy McGrady only averaged 2.2 turnovers per game in his career.
He is tall, but his dribbling range is huge. In the future, Durant will be McGrady's little fan.
In fact, future warriors have already appeared in the 1990s, but they appeared a little early.
To put it bluntly, talent is something that cannot be blown away.
Because talent is visible to the naked eye.
"Is this all you have?" After making the dunk, McGrady threw the ball to Su Feng and complained.
Su Feng didn't answer either. After receiving McGrady's pass, he threw it from outside the three-point line.
McGrady: "..."
Swish——!
"I won, I scored three points, three to two, it's over." Su Feng gave McGrady a victory gesture and smiled.
Maddie people are stupid.
So, do you think you can score points in a one-on-one match like this?
And this was only one round!
Plus, you…
Isn't this too shameless of you?
Fortunately, Kobe is currently in the Adidas ABCD training camp, otherwise Kobe would definitely tell McGrady, oh, you think Su Feng is shameless just now?
On the field, Su Feng was already celebrating like a winner.
At this time, even McGrady couldn't help it anymore, "No, this doesn't count. Let's agree on the rules and let's start over."
Seeing McGrady taking the bait, Su Feng smiled and said, "You can fight if you want, but I have the final say on the rules. Don't worry, I won't say such unreasonable rules."
After thinking for a while, Maddie nodded.
"Come with me to Orlando. There, I can fight you every day until we decide the winner." Su Feng looked at McGrady and said.
Orlando?
What the hell?
Maddie was stunned.
"I can treat you to steak every day." Su Feng added.
steak?
Although my family is poor, how could I, Tracy McGrady, be fooled by you because of a small steak?
From McGrady's point of view, even if he starved to death, it would be impossible for him to go to Orlando with Su Feng.
Because even though Su Feng is a friend of Kobe, McGrady is not familiar with him at all, not to mention that the two of them have only met for less than 20 minutes in total!
"In this case, don't tell others, as long as you beat me once in Orlando, I will give you one hundred dollars." Su Feng added quietly.
"Are you serious?" McGrady looked at Su Feng with some disbelief and said.
"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, you can ask Kobe, when did I not say anything wrong?" Seeing McGrady's sweet face, Su Feng explained in time: "Actually, I want to improve my basketball skills.
Kobe went to the Adidas ABCD training camp in the summer, and I wanted to give him a head-on blow when he came back.
Kobe has mentioned you to me many times before, and I think your level is no worse than Kobe's.
And you see, these three are all professional trainers, and I even rented a training facility in Orlando.
Don't you want to give your blind-sighted coach a little fright at the start of the new semester? "
Maddie is really stupid this time.
What the hell?
Rented a training facility in Orlando.
And hired three trainers?
Dude, you have a mine at home, right?
In fact, McGrady might not believe it. Su Feng really didn't know whether there was a mine at home.
In addition, what if there is a mine?
Su Feng's lifelong dream is to enter the NBA, become a basketball star, and marry Bai Fumei.
Do you think Su Feng is a jerk?
Sorry, dreams are priceless!
Moreover, there is a saying that the time travel and rebirth plus system says that there is no mysterious power in this world, but Su Feng doesn't believe it.
Anyway, playing basketball happened to be his dream, and there was no need for him to do anything to offend this mysterious force.
If you want to make money, there are many opportunities in the future.
"I have to discuss it with my mother and grandma." Maddie said after hesitating for a while.
"No problem, I'll go with you." Su Feng smiled.
Do you know why Su Feng brought three trainers to Auburndale?
Just so it can come in handy at critical moments like this!
Su Feng knew very well that if Maddie's mother and grandmother did not agree, it would be useless even if she pulled Maddie to elope.
But with these three tools, ah, it's different with these three trainers.
Because this person really has a trainer qualification certificate and is a serious trainer.
…
On the way home with McGrady, through Kobe's relationship and understanding of McGrady, Su Feng quickly started chatting with McGrady.
It is worth mentioning that Su Feng also deliberately mentioned Carter in front of McGrady.
When Su Feng mentioned Carter, Maddie's eyebrows twitched unnaturally.
In Su Feng's previous life, there were many versions that said that McGrady and Carter only discovered that they were cousins after they arrived with the Raptors.
But at the same time, there are also many versions that believe that the two have known each other for a long time.
And today, Detective Su-Feng solved the case!
In fact, if you understand the story of McGrady and Carter, you will find that the two of them did not meet until they arrived in the Raptors, which itself has many flaws.
Yes, communications in the 1990s were underdeveloped.
But note that Carter and McGrady both grew up in Florida.
In addition, the two met once before at a family gathering when they were 4 years old.
Well, it’s normal for a 4-year-old to have trouble remembering things.
But here comes the problem. In 1995, Carter was already well-known in the United States, and after entering college, Carter studied at North Carolina.
And where is the Monteseone Christian School that Maddie transferred to during her senior year of high school?
The answer is North Carolina.
So even if McGrady and Carter "really don't know each other", let me ask you, even Kobe, who is far away in Pennsylvania, was criticized by the coach for Carter. Do the classmates, teammates, and family members around McGrady never watch the news?
And in 1997, after McGrady ran for the election, even if Carter couldn't remember McGrady, didn't Carter's classmates, teammates, and family members recognize McGrady?
Okay, here comes the problem again.
Since none of their classmates, teammates, and especially family members know that these two are cousins.
How did they recognize each other?
DNA testing?
there is only one truth.
Carter knew that he had a cousin named Tracy, and Maddie also knew that he had a cousin named Vince.
If you are familiar with the characters of McGrady and Carter, then you can find out what this story is about.
As we all know, the four major shooting guards all have their own unique personalities.
For example, because of his poor family and his upbringing, Iverson developed a rebellious character that never gave up.
At the same time, because he had such a miserable life as a child, AI spent money like water after entering the NBA.
Another example is that he comes from a wealthy family and has been the chosen one since he was a child. One of the things that Carter was later criticized for was that he lacked Kobe’s desire to win, and at the same time he lacked some of AI’s unruliness. Most of the time, Carter was more like a good boy. child.
In addition, because he is not deeply involved in the world, many of Carter's behaviors may seem to you to have low emotional intelligence.
And McGrady's growing up environment was completely different.
He was raised by his mother and grandmother, who did their best to give them the love they gave Maddie.
Whether it was catching fresh lake fish for McGrady, or taking him to sneak into hotels or amusement parks, in short, McGrady's childhood was not lacking in warmth.
But, as a child, Maddie was also frightened.
Because when he was very young, he saw the horrors of the slums.
Therefore, escaping Auburndale was Maddie's biggest wish when he was a child. He wanted to leave here, he wanted to be rich, and he wanted to stay away from poverty and sin.
Growing up in such an environment, McGrady encountered a highly suspicious high school head coach.
Ty Willis never trusted McGrady, even though the child's talent was already visible to the naked eye, Willis chose to ignore it.
Don't be surprised, because in the free, democratic, and peaceful Mi Li family, such things are not uncommon.
In this way, McGrady has been growing up in a complicated environment, and his cousin, Vince Carter, is like a sharp sword hanging above his head.
As early as when he and Garnett participated in the McDonald's All-Star Game, Carter became "other people's children" in the eyes of many American parents.
Although Carter's biological father abandoned him since he was a child, his stepfather loved him more than his biological father.
Under the training of his stepfather and mother, Carter not only had excellent academic performance, but was also a master of the saxophone. When he was 12 years old, Carter completed his first dunk in his life.
In high school, Carter met Brinkerhoff, who was understanding and responsible. The latter gave Carter the treatment of a star in the team and allowed Carter to fly freely in the sky.
Since then, people in Florida have had a premonition: a UFO has arrived on earth from an alien planet.
It can be said that Carter's life before entering the NBA can only be described as perfect.
And Carter like this put a lot of pressure on Tracy McGrady.
It's not that Maddie doesn't want to recognize Carter, but Maddie's mother has been instilling the idea of independence and self-reliance in Maddie since she was a child.
No matter how poor or difficult it was, Maddie's mother and grandmother tried their best to create the most comfortable environment for Maddie.
Therefore, McGrady has actually known for a long time that he has a distant cousin named Vince Carter.
Moreover, his cousin was very good, even so good that he was ashamed.
He didn't want to get involved in Carter's relationship because he wanted to prove himself by his own ability.
You know, before his senior year in high school, McGrady had always doubted himself.
Su Feng remembered that McGrady didn't know until he met Bole Smith, "Damn it, I am so strong?"
After hitting Odom in the Adidas ABCD training camp, many people said that McGrady chose to skip college because his grades were not good.
But in fact, in addition to his performance, there is another reason why McGrady wants to enter the NBA as soon as possible, and that is that he wants to prove that he is no worse than his cousin.
But fate plays tricks on people...
What he never expected was that the Raptors actually brought his cousin here the next year.
In fact, after McGrady entered the NBA in 1997, Carter also reacted.
Yo, isn't this my cute and charming little cousin?
He actually made it to the NBA?
If you have read Carter's autobiography, you will know how orange Carter and McGrady were when they played together in the Raptors.
The relationship between the two is so good that they even sleep together at night.
But if you read carefully, you will find that most of the time, it is Carter who takes the initiative to find McGrady, rather than McGrady taking the initiative to find Carter.
And this is completely different from the relationship between McGrady and Kobe.
Because you made it...
McGrady finally proved himself, but Carter...
That kid from someone else’s family is here again!
What's even more exaggerated is that in McGrady's opinion, Carter's talent is far beyond his own.
Especially the 2000 Slam Dunk Contest. Anyone who watched the Slam Dunk Contest that year may remember that McGrady prepared two dunks very casually.
In fact, McGrady himself said later that he was dragged by Carter to participate, and he didn't want to participate at all because he thought he couldn't beat Carter at all.
And Carter...is notoriously low in emotional intelligence.
In fact, Carter probably only wanted to make Maddie famous at the time, but he didn't expect that he would stab his little cousin again invisibly.
To put it bluntly, McGrady at this time had no idea how abnormal his talent was.
And he didn't realize that the obstacle he couldn't overcome was not Carter, but himself.
So when the Magic extended an olive branch, McGrady went without a second thought.
Note that the Magic already had the famous Hill at the time, and the Magic were very likely to sign Duncan, so McGrady went there and was mentally prepared to be the third boss from the beginning.
Therefore, is it because McGrady does not want to stay in the Raptors and continue to be the second or third child?
No......
It just happened that the Magic gave him a lot of money, and he could finally leave Carter's shadow.
Later, it was not until he was approaching retirement that McGrady slowly reconciled with himself.
No one is perfect, this is where McGrady’s entangled and jealous character comes from.
"Tracy, has no one ever told you how amazing your talent is before?" On the way to McGrady's house, Mancias suddenly looked at McGrady and said.
McGrady shook his head and made some comments about Ty Willis.
"Oh my god, no, you have to leave this damn high school immediately, he will only delay you!" Mancias's expression was very excited, because in his opinion, Willis, this idiot, was simply ruining McGrady's life. talent.
At this moment, Su Feng noticed that while Maddie's eyebrows were raised, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, his sleepy eyes also shone with a glimmer of confidence... ..
"Why don't you come to Lower Merion too? Let's form the top three in high school!" Su Feng joked.
Maddie shook her head, "That's too far from home."
"Let me contact the school for you. It happens that several of my friends are working in high schools. Believe me, your talent will definitely become famous all over the United States in the next two years." Mancias predicted.
I have to say that my emperor's court ministers are really accurate in their judgment of people.
Produced by my emperor, it is indeed a fine product!
…
PS: Another 6,000+ words, Ah Qiao is getting further and further on the verge of committing suicide in the new book issue.
