108:101.
The Chicago Bulls got off to a good start in the preseason.
Su Feng played 21 minutes in this game and scored 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal extremely efficiently.
Judging from playing time, Su Feng has already entered the official rotation in his first Bulls game.
Su Feng was individually praised by Coach Bill after the game. He praised Su Feng in the locker room for playing the role of a microwave oven, contributing points on the field, and his shooting percentage tonight was 100%, which is worthy of promotion.
Coach Bill encouraged Su Feng to continue to improve and make his shooting more accurate.
Such compliments earned Su Feng heartfelt blessings and jealousy in the locker room.
Roger Mason was so unhappy that he went to practice extra after the game.
In contrast, Su Feng's other 'enemy' Jaylen Rose didn't take it seriously.
He is not a young sophomore like Roger Mason. He has been through too many things and has seen too many 'newcomers' who rise like comets and then disappear quickly. It was just a good preseason game, and besides his positioning and shooting, he didn't show anything else worth bragging about.
Jaylen Rose didn't see a hint of threat from Su Feng at all.
Now he was just thinking about finding an opportunity to deal with him.
…
The news that Su Feng made 5 of 5 shots and efficiently scored 16 points on 2 of 2 free throws quickly spread to the other side of the Pacific. This greatly boosted the spirit of Chinese fans, who were very excited about it.
For Chinese basketball, this is no less than a clear spring in the desert, which greatly nourishes their souls.
Chinese fans have always hoped for a defender to step onto the world's highest stage. Now, Su Feng's brilliance in the preseason has made the dream come true, and everyone is looking forward to Su Feng's more outstanding performances in the future.
Jason Thomas, Su Feng's agent, has received many inquiries from China. Some are Chinese brands and some are middlemen. They hope to use Su Feng's image and reach commercial cooperation with Su Feng.
Capital is all about profit. When Su Feng became a rising star in the sports circle and gradually achieved a "unique" lead in the domestic and even Asian fields, businessmen naturally wanted to use his influence to gain eyeballs and competitive advantages.
Jason Thomas is very jealous of the money that comes to his door, and he can’t wait to accept these endorsements for Su Feng.
But Su Feng told him: "No, it's not yet time."
"Why? Sue! You have to know, they just use a few of your photos, and you can get tens of thousands of dollars or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. It's no loss to you." Jason Thomas didn't understand: "This What’s the difference between it and free money?”
"I can't get rid of my own brand. I have to cooperate with big brands, and I have to ensure that every endorsement I get is in a leading position in the market. The money I refuse now can be earned in one go in the future." Su Feng said this When he said this, his eyes were full of enthusiasm and he was extremely confident: "I must eat the biggest portion!"
Jason Thomas was a little helpless. He couldn't help but ask: "Tony, can you tell me when can I have the biggest portion?"
Su Feng thought seriously.
He had done some modeling in his mind and said, "At the end of this season, we'll see."
Jason Thomas spread his palms helplessly and said: "But investment opportunities will not wait for anyone. By next year, many market conditions will have changed. Tony, we can make money through investment, you have to believe in my ability."
"The Internet industry is recovering strongly. What I lost, I must get back with my own hands."
Jason Thomas, a Wall Street elite and outstanding student representative of Syracuse University, was kicked out by Wall Street because he had previously invested heavily in Internet companies and then encountered the Internet bubble...
Su Feng understood that Jason Thomas was eager to prove his idea. He reached out and patted Thomas: "We have a saying in China, sharpening the sword will not make you chop wood."
"Time will never fail you and me."
Su Feng ended the conversation.
He was going to study new opponents.
In fact, he is far more anxious than Thomas, but his psychological quality is very good, which he inherited from his father and grandfather. They are all good at grasping the core content, and he knows that the most important thing now is to continue to evolve, improve his talent, and improve his performance on the court.
If you just become a shooter, an excellent off-ball mover, even if you eventually become a perfect role player, the commercial value will not be improved.
The 28/20 rule applies to any field. If you cannot become a top star, then you will only get a super-high-paying job in the NBA. It is difficult for you to get anything other than salary.
…
The Bulls' remaining six preseason opponents are: Pistons, Bucks, Pacers, Timberwolves, Spurs, and Kings.
In these six games, Su Feng has received stable playing time, playing about 20 minutes in each game. His tactical status in Coach Bill's heart undoubtedly surpasses that of Roger Mason, and he is also the first substitute designated by Cold Gill.
Su Feng scored 13 points, 11 points, 15 points, 9 points, 11 points and 10 points respectively in this smooth game.
Su Feng's tactical role is becoming more and more clear: a three-point shooter who moves without the ball during rotation time. Used to help single players open up space and catch the ball and hit some low-defense shots.
At the end of the preseason, Su Feng's name appeared in the tactical manual. Whether it is the tactical rules initiated by Jamal Crawford as the offense, the tactical rules initiated by Jaylen Rose, or the tactical rules initiated by Eddie Curry inside, Su Feng has a name.
He established himself with the Bulls before the regular season officially arrived.
This speed is faster than other second-round picks. Of course, this is closely related to his single positioning, and he does not need the ball, just plug and play.
…
Before Su Feng arrived in the regular season, he accepted an interview with the Chicago Tribune. This is a big local media outlet in Illinois and it has a lot of influence.
The person who came to interview was a young female reporter, and they made an appointment to conduct the interview in a coffee shop.
Su Feng's "exotic style" attracted the attention of Chicago fans. His outstanding performance in the preseason was an unexpected surprise for the Bulls who were at a low point.
"Su, what do you think of Chicago? How is everything here different from your country? Are the food and climate here suitable for you?" The female reporter asked Su Feng, using such an opening statement.
Su Feng said with a smile: "I stayed in New York for a year. After I adapted to the weather in New York State, the weather in Chicago was no longer a problem for me. There is no problem with food. I can find anything in this city." I want something to eat.”
"I like Chicago very much. There is a profound basketball culture here. When I walked into the United Center, I felt like my dream was coming true. I like the smiling faces of the fans and how they cheer for me..."
Su Feng's answer was very appropriate. Although he was considered a 19-year-old boy, his ease in responding to questions even made the young reporter a little stuck. In comparison, the female reporters are more like rookies.
The reporter then asked Su Feng about his basketball experience.
Su Feng talked for a long time.
When asked about the draft, he also said honestly: "It was an accident that I was selected. No team gave me a trial opportunity at that time. Only Chicago held a joint trial at the last moment. I was in that trial He performed well in training and hit some shots.”
This is a very complete interview.
Both parties were very sincere.
When they got up from the coffee shop, they were about to say goodbye to each other and leave. A tall black man walked in, and the female reporter quickly recognized the tall black man.
"Hey Vin Baker!"
Lina happily called out the name of this tall black man who smelled of alcohol.
Su Feng took a closer look and saw that this guy was gleaming with gold and diamond jewelry, and he was very tall. He even looked like he was two meters tall, but he was very fat and so big that he didn't look like an athlete, but like an athlete. Nightclub bouncer.
Wen Baker smelled of alcohol, and he looked at Lina with a confused look, and he was very confused. He asked: "Who are you? Do I have a lover in Chicago? Sorry, I really can't recognize her with my clothes on."
This guy is very presumptuous in what he says.
It's also his style.
The aura in Su Feng's mind lit up at this time, indicating that he had encountered a fallen player.
Vin Baker is a standard fallen star and a typical example of wasted talent. He was the No. 8 pick in 1993, started his career with the Bucks, and quickly became a star player there. Before his fall, he was elected to the All-Star team four times and made the All-NBA team twice.
His physical talents are outstanding and his skills are also very good. Many people say that he is the black version of McHale in the 1990s. However, since the time entered 2000, he has frequently fallen into alcohol abuse. His body shape has changed dramatically like a balloon, and his weight has skyrocketed by 45 kilograms.
Then, he swapped clubs with another degenerate player, Shawn Kemp, who was addicted to women...
Now Vin Baker is a player for the Boston Celtics. Last season, his average data per game has changed from 20+10 at his peak to 5+3, and he has become a complete mascot.
"I'm Lina, a reporter from the Chicago Tribune, and I want to interview you." Lina restrained her anger, but she still requested an interview.
But Wen Baker rejected her. "Nothing to interview."
He walked up to the counter and started ordering coffee.
An argument soon ensued.
Wen Baker yelled there: "I am a close friend of Howard Schultz. He allows me to drink coffee for free in any coffee shop. With my face, can't I take coffee from you?"
Howard Schultz is the owner of the SuperSonics, and Vin Baker was at his peak when he was playing in the SuperSonics, and their relationship is very good.
So, what he said is true.
Employees clearly didn't want to get into trouble, and they quickly agreed to Vinbeck's request.
However, Wen Baker struggled with another issue: "I want this medium cup."
"Sorry sir, this is a medium cup, this is a large cup, and this is an extra large cup."
The clerk pointed to the three cups and explained patiently.
"I don't care what you name it, I want the middle cup out of these three cups." Wen Baker said angrily.
"Sir, this is a large cup." The clerk pointed to the middle cup and then pointed to the small cup next to him and said, "This is the medium cup."
"I want this medium cup..." Wen Beike said angrily, he was going to go crazy.
At this time, Su Feng walked over and said to the clerk: "Please order one cup of each of these three types of cups."
With that said, Su Feng took out the money and handed it to the clerk, and then continued: "Give this middle cup to this gentleman."
The clerk was a bit stubborn and said, "This is a big cup."
"No, I have bought it now. It is the middle cup. You give this middle cup to this gentleman." Su Feng said.
The clerk's brain was a little down.
"I'm asking you, Mr. Baker." Su Feng said to Wen Baker. His real name was Vincent Baker, but later he changed it to Wen Baker for convenience. Just like Jay Williams, his original name was Jason Williams. In order not to conflict with White Chocolate, he should become Jay Williams.
Although Wen Baker was hungover at this time, his consciousness was not very blurry. He was very happy to see Su Feng solve the problem of medium cup, large cup and extra large cup. He stretched out his hand and patted Su Feng: "You are great! I admire you very much."
"Are you an NBA player? I seem to have watched your video tape in a daze." Wen Baker was confused now, and alcohol often made him feel like a butterfly in Zhuang Zhou's dream.
Su Feng nodded.
"Good player, as smart as me." He patted Su Feng on the shoulder. At this time, his emotions were the same as Su Feng's.
Buzz!
In an instant, a talent was copied from his body to Su Feng's body.
Super coordination talent.
Su Feng's coordination talent soared to 95 points in an instant.
Wen Baker played very gorgeously in his early years. He had long hands and feet but was extremely flexible, relying on his excellent coordination ability.
Unexpectedly, it was now copied to Su Feng, which quickly raised the upper limit of Su Feng's coordination talent to 95.
This cup of coffee is so worth it. It's a good thing that Starbucks offers medium, large, and extra large cups.
"Thank you for the coffee, I always want to give you something." Wen Baker was dazed, and he reached out to unlock his gold Rolex watch.
Su Feng quickly stopped him: "You have given me enough, no need. No need."
As Su Feng spoke, he also showed off his diamond-encrusted Rolex gold watch.
Only then did Wen Baker stop his movements and put his hand on Su Feng's shoulder: "We are indeed good brothers. We have the same taste. You also like Rolex diamond-encrusted gold watches."
"Next time, I will introduce you to two modification shops. They can make gold look more gold and diamonds look more like diamonds."
Well…….
Su Feng couldn't keep up with Wen Beike's brain circuit. No wonder he was obsessed with the medium cup, large cup and extra large cup.
"I will show mercy to you in the opening game." Wen Baker told Su Feng.
Su Feng smiled.
He felt that in Wen Baker's current state, saying "show mercy" was a bit self-indulgent.
The Celtics are still a playoff-level team after all, and they probably won't let Vin Baker play.
So… let’s talk about it next time.
