Chapter 1: Genius

"Coach, I'm going to the draft."

Yi Feng sat on the sidelines and patted the ball, looked at his teammates who were training tactics on the field, and said to the coach next to him who was writing and drawing on the tactical board.

"Huh? What did you say?! ”

Lei Ming was thinking about how to control the enemy in the next game, when he suddenly heard Yi Feng's words, he was startled, and the tactical board fell to the ground with a bang.

"You said you were going to the draft?!"

Lei Ming repeated Yi Feng's words word by word and loudly, his eyes solemn. The two looked at each other, and for a moment, silence spread. All that remains in the arena is the shouts of the players, the running of shoes against the floor, the crash of basketballs and floor rebounds, and the occasional crisp screech of a basketball hollowing into the net.

And there was still a long silence between Yi Feng and Lei Ming.

After confirming the seriousness and sincerity in Yi Feng's eyes, Lei Ming had mixed feelings in his heart.

For a disciple like Yi Feng, Lei Ming felt that he was able to coach him, which was the greatest luck in his life. Yi Feng's physical fitness, basketball IQ, and basketball skills are undoubtedly outstanding among Chinese college students. Especially his explosive physical fitness, even in the NBA, where the flying crowd is full of people, he can also occupy a place.

Yi Feng competed in CUBA at a level that surpassed the CUBA (Chinese University Basketball League) level, and as a result, in his first year of college, at the age of 18, he helped the team win the CUBA championship. This is also the first time that Tsinghua University has won the league championship. Yi Feng averaged 37.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, and 12.1 assists per game, plus 3.1 blocks and 2.8 steals to win the MVP (Most Valuable Player) plus the scoring king, assists, blocks and steals.

Even in the world-renowned NBA (National Basketball Association, the full name of the North American Professional Basketball League, referred to as American professional basketball), this bull is like a basketball temple like a carp across the river, and there is only one person who can win both the scoring and assist king in a season, and that is Archie Boulder, one of the top 50 superstars in NBA history. Because it's so difficult, you have to take care of both individual attacks and ball distribution, just like you can't have both. Not to mention the effort on the defensive side.

It is conceivable how amazing such data is, it can be called a miracle!

Although he is not a player in the system, he is also considered by many bigwigs to be one of the leaders of the young generation of Chinese basketball. If it weren't for the fact that the level of the CUBA league is too low, it is just an amateur basketball league, which makes this data much less convincing, and Yi Feng may have got the opportunity to enter the national team.

After all, in the face of absolute strength, the factors inside and outside the system are no longer insignificant. Those officials are not stupid, if there is a strong athlete who can lead the national team to achieve results, it will be a great achievement for them!

And even an amateur league like CUBA, which is not competitive and confrontational, has attracted a lot of media attention because of Yifeng's outstanding.

The media has always been undisciplined, they don't care whether Yi Feng was cultivated by the system or not, and directly put on the hat of "the hope of Chinese basketball", saying that he is the core leader who can really carry the banner of Chinese basketball after Yao Ming. And some names such as "Chinese James" and "Contemporary Jordan" have also been put on him.

People have long been accustomed to such media. So the content they reported, the praise given to Yi Feng, people also laughed it off, and there were not many people who took it seriously. Those who pay attention to basketball and like basketball will begin to pay attention to Yi Feng and look forward to his follow-up wonderful performances.

It has to be said that this is the sadness of the media. Perhaps it is also because the times are advancing, the media's discourse power is getting weaker and weaker, and the era of everyone's microphone has quietly come. The erosion of media credibility is a strong proof of this.

But thankfully, the media isn't completely degenerate, and people can't really ignore its existence. Therefore, under their reports, Yi Feng is also well-known in China.

However, even with such praise, Yi Feng, an eighteen-year-old boy, was not lost. As if the people reported by the outside media were not him, how he should train or how he trained, how he should play or how he should play.

Even because of these accolades, his performance on the field has become more comfortable.

The temple is too small to accommodate the big Buddha, and the water is shallow and can't leave the real dragon.

Lei Ming knew that with CUBA's current competitive level, it could no longer bring any progress to Yifeng.

Yi Feng's progress was astonishingly fast, beyond anyone's expectations, including himself. He was still fresh from his youth when he first entered school, but now he has matured to the point where he can perform at such a level with his skills alone, even if he does not have the physical talent that far surpasses his peers.

Originally, Lei Ming planned to let Yi Feng hone in college for four years, and then the 22-year-old will directly participate in the NBA draft. may be the first college student in China to participate in the NBA draft, and the pick may not be high, but with his conditions, he will definitely play out, and it is not impossible to become a superstar.

But now Yi Feng, a year of growth, has made his strength improve at the speed of light, and it has exceeded Lei Ming's imagination, the Yi Feng who participated in the draft three years later. This is nothing, the terrible thing is that the 19-year-old Yi Feng, who was not challenged in CUBA, did not improve, but was proud and complacent in a high praise, in the golden age of the growth of football skills, such a practice is "killing"! It is foreseeable that in the long run, he will become a brilliant meteor, which will flash away in the infinite galaxy and never be seen again.

It's time to let go!

Although Lei Ming was reluctant in his heart, he was more enthusiastic! The disciples trained by themselves are about to compete in the NBA, which is the highest temple of basketball and the holy place in the hearts of basketball players!

The two were silent for a long time, and the laughter and shouts on the court were not heard. Finally, Lei Ming took a deep breath and said, "It's April, and there's still time to sign up for the draft." Now that you've decided to go, prepare yourself and don't leave any regrets here, just let go and do anything! ”

"You don't have to worry about the draft, I'll help you run it."

Yi Feng knew that Lei Ming had gone to the United States to study, and he who had dealt with foreigners was always more experienced than a person who had never been abroad. And after all these times of getting along, Yi Feng knew how good Lei Ming was to him, he was his mentor. So I left the matter to him with confidence.

The CUBA Northeast Division has just finished its regional competition, and Tsinghua University won the championship of the league under the leadership of Yi Feng. The school team players have just finished a fierce game, so today's training task is not heavy, after the players simply ran and ran tactics, most of them were shooting training, and a few got together one-on-one heads-up.

Yi Feng told the coach the thoughts that had been piling up in his heart for a long time, and suddenly felt relaxed all over. The depression and irritability of the season, as well as the boredom of not having an opponent, have finally been emptied. When I walked, I felt that my bones were two pounds lighter.

The players in the stadium were in groups of threes and twos, and when they saw that the coach and Yi Feng finally finished their "whispers", the gossip fire in their hearts finally couldn't be suppressed. With a tall inner line in his early two meters, a group of people surrounded Yi Feng.

Yi Feng was about to go on the field to move his muscles, but he didn't expect his teammates to walk towards him, and they all had some special expressions on their faces. Especially the captain Chen Gang, whose extremely obscene expression made Yi Feng feel itchy at the same time.

Chen Gang, with thick eyebrows and big eyes on his square Chinese face, can still look good, but these facial features often like to make up for obscenity, which is really not pleasing to the opposite sex. If it weren't for the tallest height of the team of two meters and three meters and fairly strong muscles, with this face, he would definitely be the target of bullying by everyone. What's even more surprising is that he also has good skills, he has been on the varsity team since his freshman year, and he has been mixed with the position of captain until his senior year!

Although Yi Feng has an absolute core position in the team, what makes him a little depressed is that he didn't become the captain when he first came to the freshman, because the qualifications are really not enough; But after leading the team to the championship, he still failed to become captain. In the end, he learned that he couldn't cry or laugh, and the basketball captain could only be the highest grade in the country.

Of course, Yi Feng is not the kind of narrow-minded person, and he will not rely on his core position to make things difficult for the captain everywhere. On the contrary, he has the best relationship with the captain Chen Gang, which is also related to Chen Gang's way of dealing with the world. In short, Chen Gang can be a man.

"Big star, why don't you fight with your girlfriend and talk 'quiet' to the coach over there? And your 'whispers' are so loud that we hear them in training! Chen Gang put his arm around Yi Feng's shoulders and said to him with a wink.

It turned out that after Yi Feng told coach Lei Ming the news that he was going to participate in the draft, Lei Ming was too surprised for a while, and the volume was amplified a lot uncontrollably, causing the players training in the stadium to notice. But the arena was too big after all, and although they heard it, they didn't hear it clearly, so they were all interested in coming over to find out.

"What are you kidding, be careful to let Sister Tang hear! I won't care if she wants to beat you. Yi Feng pulled away Chen Gang's hand around his shoulder, smiled and raised his fist in front of his eyes.

Chen Gang immediately looked around nervously, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, the female devil is not here, otherwise I would be really miserable!" ”

Seeing Chen Gang so scared, the teammates around him nodded sympathetically. Only Yi Feng smiled and said nothing.

"Seriously, what are you talking about with the coach over there, so excited?" Chen Gang's burning curiosity drove him to ask this question.

"Yes, the coach has such a good relationship with you, I've never seen him talk to you so loudly!" The team's main point guard, Wu Liang, also came to Yi Feng.

Yi Feng is a baby in the eyes of the coach! Although he was not afraid of melting in his mouth, and he was afraid of falling in his hand, the coach never yelled at him. It's like the rest of the team, and they are often scolded all over the place.

"Is that your food? The coach said again and again, you still can't remember, anyone will get angry. "Yi Feng doesn't have a good airway.

"Hey, my big star, who doesn't know that you are a genius, so don't hurt us ordinary people like this anymore, okay? You can learn it as soon as you learn, how can we compare? "Chen Gang is yin and yang.

"Hah, why does that sound so sour?" Yi Feng laughed.

"If you change the subject like this, we will break off your friendship immediately." Chen Gang, a human spirit, saw that Yi Feng didn't seem to want to talk about what he just said to the coach, so he coerced public opinion and forced him a little.

"Uh......" Yi Feng actually didn't want to say that he was going to participate in the draft, which was also related to his relatively low-key personality. Of course, his low profile is, in the eyes of outsiders, arrogant. Ordinary people really don't dare to approach him easily.

Such a character, of course, is also closely related to the environment in which he grew up. Yi Feng has no father or mother since he was a child, and he was brought up by his grandfather, and his grandfather is not close yet. He was an abandoned baby picked up by his grandfather, which his grandfather had told him since he was sensible. In such a family environment, it is normal to be more withdrawn.

And as a genius who is the first in everything, he can't meet his opponent in any aspect, isn't it strange to be a little arrogant?

Yi Feng didn't want to reveal the matter of the draft, in addition to the reasons of his personality, he also had no idea whether he could be selected. What if it is now publicized everywhere and people all over the world know that he is going to participate in the draft, and no NBA team selects him at that time? Does he still have a face?

He looked around, but he still couldn't see the beautiful shadow that was active in the stadium on weekdays.

"Hehe, I specially read it just now, Tang Ya is not here today. Otherwise, how dare we ......" Chen Gangzhi said proudly, but before he could finish speaking, he suddenly heard a crisp and pleasant voice from behind him-

"How dare you blatantly besiege my little wind, right?!"

Although the sound is good, for Chen Gang, it is like a bolt from the blue! This voice seemed to be a soul envoy from hell, and Chen Gang's three souls and seven spirits disappeared at once: his eyes were dull, and his face was pale.
