Because of the “courageous act” last semester, Su Feng had become a famous guy in Nefaria High School.

During break time, many students would go ahead and greet Su Feng. Some of the more outgoing female students hinted to Su Feng that they wanted to get into indescribable relationships with him…

Of course, Su Feng decided to reject all the female students who had these intentions.

After all, like Kobe had mentioned, a person’s life was limited. He should devote his time to basketball.

Yes, Su Feng swore this as he touched his heart.

He, Su Feng, did not reject the girls because he thought they were ugly!

Definitely not!

Or else he would be struck by…

Cough.

Back to the topic.

After one day of school, Su Feng decided to head over to the basketball court. After all, if he really wanted to join the NBA, he would have to find a way to get to the stage of the High School interschool games.

….

Clang!

At the basketball court of his school, a group of teenagers were training intensely with their instructor, Coach Antony.

Meanwhile, the main instructor, Tony Johnson, looked at the players miserably.

“Sigh, these bastards must not have trained during the summer break. Look at their shooting. I think I shoot better than them,” sighed Tony Johnson.

Just as Tony Johnson was feeling worried, Su Feng entered the basketball court.

As the only Chinese foreign student in Nefaria High School, some background music should be played when Su Feng entered…

That was because he attracted everyone’s attention when he stepped in.

“Eh, isn’t he Su?” the leader of the Nefaria High School basketball team said in shock.

“He is the superhero?” said the center, Campa.

“Oh, I remember, he is in the backup team!” the point guard, Miles, said in realization after he scored.

“Backup team? Even the second team doesn’t dare to come here. As a backup player…” said Thomas, the small forward.

Su Feng, who had become the focus of the basketball court, clearly had not regained his senses. However, he continued to walk calmly and greeted the main instructor, Tony Johnson.

Before coming to the basketball court, Su Feng had checked “Su Feng’s” memory carefully.

In reality, even if he had not checked, he would know that American high schools emphasised experience and seniority a lot.

Therefore, that was why many of the superstars had this line on their resume: Became the main player of the team in my first year, became the core player of the team in my first year of university.

That was because someone who was able to play well as a first year in a university famous for basketball was regarded as a god.

Everyone knew that teenagers underwent puberty very quickly during the age range of 15 to 20. If they were lacking one or two years of age or had poor physical conditions, their defense would be greatly affected.

Therefore, if he was able to become famous in his first year, he would be regarded as an expert.

These experts would be recognized in their respective schools and enjoy certain benefits…

For example, they would not be bullied.

One had to know that be it high school, university, or the future NBA players, the unspoken rule in the American basketball world was to teach the rookies.

In Su Feng’s past life, in the new season, LeBron James had been thought by his own teammate, Ricky Davis, as a player selected by the team to assist him.

Therefore, in order to teach his junior James, Davis asked him to help him carry his shoes…

In the end, Davis was undoubtedly…

Cough, undoubtedly kicked out.

Many famous basketball players had been bullied when they first entered the NBA.

However, the good thing was, he had managed to meet Francis, a man who was extremely loyal.

He was very respectful towards Francis. That was because in the changing room during the new match season, Francis had made it clear that Yao Ming was under him.

Meanwhile, in Nefaria High School, a similar culture was seen.

For example, the second team, the third team, and the backup team, as long as they were not in the main team, they were regarded as their juniors.

Therefore, as they were not in the main team, they would not be able to make it into a match and therefore most of the players in the second, third, and the backup teams were not serious about training.

Apart from the players from the first team, most people avoided showing up as much as they could.

After all, nobody liked to be bullied.

That was why when Su Feng entered the basketball court, he had attracted everyone’s attention.

Of course, another reason would be…

He was famous in school.

“Hello, Instructor. Is there anything you need me to do today?” Su Feng said to Tony Johnson humbly.

Tony Johnson did not know how to reply to Su Feng.

That was because a player from the backup team…

He definitely could not let him train with the main team, right?

One had to know that during training sessions with the main team, players from the backup team had to pick up balls…

However, considering Su Feng’s popularity and how his higher-up had told him to take care of Su Feng…

Tony Johnson looked at his assistant instructor, Antony, fervently.

Antony was speechless.

Indeed, a main instructor who did not know how to push responsibility around was not a good main instructor.

Antony had no choice.

“Su… Go and change into your uniform and train with the main team.” Indeed, the assistant instructor who did not have EQ was not a good assistant instructor either.

Antony resolved the awkwardness immediately.

That was because to Antony, Su Feng had come over out of interest. After training with the main team, he should realize that he was too inferior and leave.

After all, he was a courageous superhero who stood up for justice, so Antony thought that he had to give him this chance.

….

Su Feng changed into the basketball uniform of Nefaria High School. Hmm… because he was from the backup team, Su Feng’s uniform had no number.

To Su Feng, he did not expect to have this chance to train with the main team.

After all, Su Feng thought that a few people would treat him poorly, and he would’ve reacted accordingly.

Of course, there was a difference between what he imagined and reality.

Tony Johnson and Antony were not foolish. Su Feng was still popular because of what he had done…

Although courageous acts were not promoted in the United States, Su Feng’s act was published in Philadelphia’s local newspaper.

If a rumor such as “basketball team insults Chinese foreign student”, “basketball team bullies the Philadelphia hero”, Tony Johnson and Antony would probably be screwed.

People who were able to advance to this position would not be foolish.

Moreover, even if someone did not like Su Feng in the team, nobody was willing to show it.

Su Feng did not expect his unintended act to help him twice.

The first time, Kobe thought Su Feng’s personality was great. He was very brave, very calm, good at speaking, and was worth making friends with.

Now it gave Su Feng a chance to change his fate.

“What should I do?”

Although Su Feng’s skills had improved after training with Kobe, as a basketball player, he was still a rookie.

Antony was very patient when it came to Su Feng. After all, he knew that a player from the backup team would usually not have the chance to train with the main team.

“Next, we will be practicing the one-minute speed shooting.”

“Look at those marks I made. In one minute, you have to continuously shoot while changing your position. I will record the time and your shooting accuracy…”

“Miles, pass the ball to Su.” After explaining to Su Feng, Antony looked at a black guy who was around the same height as Su Feng.

Miles passed the ball to Su Feng.

The ball was thrown carelessly. Su Feng knew that it was because the players in the main team did not view him as a teammate at all…

After all, in the past, “Su Feng” was a tool to them.

“Huff…” After looking at the positions, Su Feng took a deep breath.

Now it was the time to see the results of his training.

Su Feng decided to start from the three-pointer position in the left corner. There was a total of ten shooting points on the court, five three-pointers and five mid-range. After signalling to Antony that he was ready, Su Feng…

Began his show!

Swoosh!

First throw, three pointer from the left corner. Perfect.

Clang!

Second throw, three pointer from 45 degrees from the left, missed.

Su Feng frowned. Meanwhile, the members from the main team had formed a circle and were ready to mock Su Feng for humiliating himself…

“Superhero, don’t think we are humiliating you, you came to be humiliated by us…”

“His shooting posture is alright; however, unfortunately, the second throw exposed his real capability,” said Miles.

“The one-minute timed shot is very difficult. Who keeps our records?” asked Campa.

“Of course it’s Captain Towns. Captain Towns got 11 shots in one minute!” Thomas took the opportunity to praise Towns.

“Nothing much, only 11 shots.” Towns stood upright proudly after being praised by Thomas.

At this moment, on the court, after frowning and hesitating for two seconds, Su Feng ran towards the three-point line.

“Perhaps he is afraid to be mocked by us and decided to give up,” Antony thought.

“Tell your players to not be so harsh later. After all, Su…” Just as Main Instructor Tony Johnson was worrying about Su Feng not being able to take the humiliation from the team members…

Su Feng suddenly took two steps back while holding the ball.

Yes, it was him!

That was right.

He stretched his leg, sprang into the air, and swung his arm at the hoop.

Swoosh!

The players of the Nefaria High School basketball team were astonished.

“What is he doing? My goodness!” Thomas said in shock.

“He took two steps back?” said Campa.

“Was that ball seven meters away from the hoop?” said Miles, astonished.

Before the players could regain their senses, Su Feng took two steps back at the next three-pointer line before aiming.

Swoosh!

Another successful shot!

After that…

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, clang, swoosh, swoosh!

The saying went, one successful attempt might be luck, but two successful attempts would be one’s true skills…

What about continuous success?

That was…

Solid skills.

Su Feng’s one-minute speed shooting training stunned the members of the main team.

Meanwhile, Assistant Coach Antony immediately passed a medicine pill to Tony Johnson.

“Hurry, tell me, I am not dreaming?” Tony Johnson gasped.

“I swear to God, we are not dreaming, Instructor,” said Antony firmly.

“This guy is a shooter! Oh God! We need shooters desperately!” Tony Johnson shouted excitedly.

“Yes, Main Instructor,” added Antony.

“However, why does he want to shoot from such a far distance?” asked Tony Johnson.

Antony secretly rolled his eyes. The expression was so obvious…

“If you don’t know, how would I know?”

“Oh my Lord, what have we been doing? We threw a golden player like him to the trash team!” Tony Johnson was becoming more and more excited. He was so happy…

Soon, the one-minute speed shooting training for Su Feng ended.

Su Feng had shot 26 times in one minute and had 20 successful shots.

“It’s decent enough!”

In his past life, Su Feng had seen Ray Allen and Stephen Curry’s shooting training. To be honest, Su Feng was nowhere near those gods.

After all, the gods could manage to score a few hundred consecutive shots…

Therefore, Su Feng would only give himself 80 points for this training.

Hmm, he had deducted 20 marks because he was afraid that he would become too proud.

Just after Su Feng completed his training and was about to ask Antony what he should do next, Su Feng realized that everyone in the basketball court had frozen in place.

Su Feng was speechless.

Oi!

Don’t do this!

Come, come, whoever doesn’t like me, come and insult me and make a request for a one on one!

It was obvious that…

Su Feng had read too many novels.

In reality, there were no such things.

Reality was simply tricks, tricks, and more tricks to counter the tricks…
