Chapitre 38: I Will Make It Big!
Éditeur: Atlas Studios
"Kobe, I have decided to skip university and enter the NBA immediately!" said Su Feng as he looked at Kobe with a serious expression.
"Are you serious?" Kobe was shocked.
"Of course, because I want to compete against Michael before he retires." Su Feng used Boss Jordan as an excuse.
Kobe took a deep breath. He could be sure that Su Feng was not kidding.
"You cannot, at least not now," said Kobe.
Su Feng knew that Kobe did not say that to make him feel bad. He had said that because he viewed their friendship very seriously.
"I know, but I will try very hard for that." Su Feng nodded.
"Simply hard work…" Kobe knew that although Su Feng was already pretty good, if he went all-out in a one-on-one match against Su Feng…
Su Feng suddenly smiled and said to Kobe, "That's why I need your help!"
"My help?" Kobe frowned.
Su Feng tapped Kobe's shoulder and signalled to him.
After a long while, Kobe asked suspiciously, "Are you sure this works?"
"This is the best idea I can think of. Rest assured, if my improvement is not as quick when I reach year four of high school, I will go to university," said Su Feng reassuringly.
Kobe nodded. "True, the draft is next year."
"That's why we need to put in more effort, right?" said Su Feng.
"Yes! Definitely!" Although Kobe was still worried about Su Feng, he felt that it would be a good thing if Su Feng could go for the draft with him.
…
After chatting with Kobe, Su Feng felt that he had to calm down for a while.
"The Path of Talents" was a task filled with challenges.
However, Su Feng liked it very much.
It was not only because he could not resist the temptation of the power of "Free from Illness In Your Lifetime".
The brick shots system did not only upgrade after matches.
Su Feng's one-on-one matches with Kobe were the source of the Brick Shot Points.
However, the problem was, would the method of gaining Brick Shot Points change after he entered the NBA?
Su Feng believed that although he would obtain much more Brick Shot Points during competition, hard work was still very important. Moreover, the current NBA was different from the future NBA…
Most of the teams in the current NBA had their own superstar.
For Su Feng, it would be difficult for him to enter the NBA as a high school student. Moreover, he would have to work extremely hard after entering the NBA too.
However, that was the perfect chance to improve, right?
The NCAA training and matches would definitely not have as many Brick Shot Points as NBA training sessions!
NBA… There were opportunities everywhere!
During this period of time, there were only a few good players in the American universities. One could only choose to suck up to one of them.
But the NBA was different…
There were experts everywhere.
There were special techniques, badges, shooting moves…
Moreover, as a Kobe fan who saw more than 100 books of Kobe's Encyclopedia, Su Feng had thought about bringing Kobe to university too.
However, Su Feng would say that it was impossible.
That was because Kobe's SAT results were very good. The reason why he chose not to go to university was not because of his results.
Moreover, Kobe did not have any financial difficulties, as his father was a responsible ex-NBA player who had earned a lot while playing overseas. The NCAA scholarship was not attractive to Kobe at all.
It was useless even if a coach from a certain university tried to bribe Kobe, because Kobe was not in need of money…
The reason why Kobe had skipped university was like he had said, Kobe was only thinking of Jordan and the NBA…
He could not wait any longer.
When the mind of a Leo takes over, Kobe was rash like that.
If Su Feng could change Kobe's mind, then Kobe…
Would not be himself anymore.
Therefore, even though many systems in Task One were very enticing, Su Feng decided to take charge of his own fate after thinking about it.
Therefore, even though the "Genius" system was a lousy one, as long as Su Feng worked hard and remembered his goal, along with the "Free from Illnesses In Your Lifetime" superpower, he would definitely make it big in the NBA in the future.
Hmm…
Of course, this was with the assumption that he was selected.
Alright.
Free from Illnesses In Your Lifetime… was too enticing!
"If I want to join the NBA, I definitely have to improve on strength and jumps.
"I have to upgrade my brick shots system to version 7.0 before the end of the summer break. I shall see what other powers I can unlock.
"Also, farm up my statistics crazily!"
Su Feng clenched his fist.
"I have a good chance in the 1996 NBA draft second round pick.
"Although I won't be treated as well, if it's like Rashard Lewis, the NBA teams are relatively patient with the high school players."
If Su Feng recalled correctly, Lewis, who joined the NBA as a high school student, worked as the "waterboy". He also entered through the second round.
However, the Seattle Supersonics were very patient with him. They did not give him any stress but instead gave him unlimited brick shots to help him improve rapidly.
In the end, Lewis signed a trillion dollar contract and was one of the representations of those who made it big in the NBA.
Su Feng decided to view Lewis as his role model as Lewis would join two years after him.
Since Su Feng had made up his mind to skip university, then he did not feel that anything would be wrong if he started as a waterboy.
"Actually, there's nothing much… Because my mode of upgrade has nothing to do with me being a waterboy in the NBA. As long as I work hard and train crazily, it should be alright.
"Of course, if there was a cheat like Kobe in the team, that would be fantastic."
Su Feng realized when he analyzed tasks one and two that the brick shots system was really…
"Is this the so-called 'rather manage the water dispenser in the NBA than getting a championship in the NCAA?'" Su Feng laughed.
…
Since he had decided to choose task two, Su Feng naturally…
Was not worried!
After all, the deadline was March 31, 1996.
Before that, Su Feng would finish the preparations for "The Path of Talents". If the situation was not great by then, Su Feng would not be that affected.
After all, if he was not successfully selected, the "Free from Illnesses In Your LIfetime" superpower was just ephemeral.
"Not sure if there are any other methods for me to get this superpower, like a lucky draw or something…" Just as Su Feng was thinking about it, the system suddenly…
For the first time in history, it responded.
"Free from Illnesses In Your Lifetime is unable to be obtained from other methods!"
What the heck!?
So this system was ignoring him on purpose?
However, although Su Feng tried many methods to get the system to respond, it did not. Even though he had asked the same question earlier on.
"Alright, I shall prepare a few dozen plans. After all, I have to make sure I have sufficient backup plans," thought Su Feng.
Therefore, after watching the news that Jordan had made a comeback, Su Feng thought that he had to make a call to Su Weiguo after returning to his rented apartment.
That was because entering the NBA was not a small deal.
Although Su Feng had not accepted "Su Feng"'s parents genuinely, after making more calls recently, Su Feng felt that "Su Feng"'s parents were the types of parents who worried about their child.
Most of the time, youths thought that their parents did not pay attention to them because they did not love them. However, in reality, the parents were trying to earn more money in case their child failed in life…
Most Chinese parents did not know how to express their love for their child.
Just as Su Feng finished his draft and was about to tell Su Weiguo some of his future plans, Su Weiguo suddenly asked Su Feng, "Oh right, son, haven't you been playing basketball recently? Did you hear about the NBA?"
Su Feng was speechless.
Su Feng wanted to reply, "Much more than hearing about them!"
I was the keyboard warrior of all the NBA teams in my past life!
However, Su Feng controlled his impulse and said, "Yes, why?"
"I watched the sports channel and they played a few NBA matches, they were amazing! Eh, son, can you play in the NBA next time? Didn't you win the basketball championship in primary school?"
Su Feng was speechless.
I… was even awarded a red flower when I was in kindergarten!
How was that the same?!
However, Su Feng realized that this was a very good opportunity?
That was because the Chinese did not have much understanding about the NBA. Moreover, Su Weiguo seemed easy to fool…
"However, if I go to the NBA, many of the players joined after they graduated from high school. For university…" Su Feng took the chance to speak.
"University? That's fine. You won't even get in with your lousy results! You think I don't know? When you were young, you got 59 marks in grade one and I had to beg the teacher to give you 60 marks in order not to make you feel demoralized. If your results were good, do you think your mother and I would be willing to send you overseas?" Su Weiguo laughed.
Su Feng was speechless.
"Su Feng", you are really talented!
You scored 59 marks in grade one?
By right, shouldn't one get 100 marks with both eyes closed?
Even in middle school, apart from the languages, since when did Su Feng not get full marks?
In high school, Su Feng blamed himself for getting only 145 marks in math because he got a multiple choice question wrong.
However, despite that, Su Feng realized that someone with bad results could be so useful too.
"Oh right, son, do you earn a lot in the NBA?" asked Su Weiguo curiously.
"I heard that the salary is about a few million US dollars," replied Su Feng.
"That means tens of millions of Yuan? Hmm, that's okay. You can even make our nation proud!" said Su Weiguo.
Su Feng was speechless.
Listen!
What was he saying?
How was a few million US dollars "okay"?
Su Feng was tempted to ask Su Weiguo, "Dad, are you really a Peking University graduate?"
"All the best, son. If you are really able to get into the NBA, your mom and I will come over to the United States to cheer you on!" Su Weiguo smiled.
Su Feng did not know how to react.
That was because Su Weiguo was talking as though Su Feng had really become a NBA player!
What on earth? He was not even in yet!
However, Su Feng did not expect him to get past "Su Feng"'s parents so easily.
"Family…" Su Feng suddenly missed his parents.
Sigh…
Su Feng was very charismatic and outstanding in his past life. However, perhaps because of a lack of family members, he gradually lost hope for life.
Or else, based on his looks alone, Su Feng would've made it big in his past life.
"I didn't expect myself, as an orphan, to become a rich second-generation heir with both parents living healthily."
When Su Feng transmigrated, he believed that there was a mysterious force that science would not be able to explain.
However, because of that, when the system appeared, Su Feng's goal of becoming a basketball player was affirmed.
Even though he had lost motivation in life in his past life, basketball would help him last through.
"If there's really a mysterious power, thank you!"
Thank you for giving me the talent in basketball.
Thank you for allowing me to choose what I like to do.
Thank you for letting me meet Kobe.
I, Su Feng, will definitely make it big in the NBA!
For some reason, Su Feng felt extremely energized!
Although "The Path of Talents" was difficult, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
"Tomorrow is the zonal championship!
"Win first place and prepare to compete in year four!"
Su Feng clenched his fist and made a vow.
