Chapter 1: A boy like the wind!
In the 2012 Olympic Games, it was difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to find a victory, which was definitely a shame for Huaxia, but in some ways, this defeat was also an opportunity for the Chinese basketball world.
With the gradual retirement of the older generation of stars, such as Optimus Prime Da Yao, etc., the Chinese men's basketball team is no longer the shijie-level strong team together, although the UAE is capable, but it will always give people a slightly weak feeling, coupled with a hateful system, the Chinese men's basketball team has accumulated a lot of difficulties.
After the Olympic Games, the Chinese team has a chance to recover, nearly 18-year-old Chinese teenager Chen Feng can average 16.8 points, 4.4 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game in the Olympic Games.
Chen Feng lives in a sports family, he began to contact basketball at the age of six, his solid foundation is trained step by step, at the age of eighteen, he was a freshman in a college in China, but after this Olympics, he began a basketball career of his dreams. The failure of the men's basketball team made the senior management of Huaxia Sports have to reform the system, Chen Feng is lucky, because of his family and system reform, going abroad has become a very simple thing.
San Antonio is a small city, but when it comes to sports, the city has one of the toughest teams in league history, the San Antonio Spurs!
There's no doubt about the place of the GDP duo in the league, and Popovich's tactical philosophy is even more unmistakable, even at the end of their careers, every time they are said to be old, they have a record that is at the top of the league.
The Spurs Arena, where almost all the players are located, the Spurs are arguably one of the most low-key teams in the league, and they are always changing, growing, and then surprising in obscurity.
Popovich was watching a video, not an NBA video, but an Olympic game, and Popovich's eyes were always on one person, the Chinese kid Chen Feng!
"The height should be about 195 cm, the speed, the grace is first-class, the running and jumping ability is good, and the shooting is accurate!" This is Popovich's evaluation of Chen Feng, but as the game deepened, Popovich's brows gradually furrowed. "The physical strength is too poor, and the confrontation is lacking!"
It's a good feeling, but these two things happen to be the most basic factors in the NBA. After a moment's hesitation, Popovich picked up the phone...... At this time, Chen Feng, who is on the other side of the ocean, has become a big star, after all, it is the first time in the international arena, if it were not for his family factors, and the Chinese men's basketball team is indeed in the stage of lack of success, how could he enter the squad.
People are not arrogant teenagers, Chen Feng is naturally proud to play at this level at a young age, and it was at this time that the Spurs scouted it. Although it is just a practical training, it is enough to make Chen Feng proud, his English is not a problem, because he has also lived in the United States for a while, and everything seems to prove that the door of the NBA is open for this Chinese teenager.
……
With apprehension and excitement, Chen Feng stepped into another land!
"Hello, Chen! You can call me Greg! "Popovich is not as scary as he looks on TV! This was Chen Feng's first thought when he met Popovich!
Next is the physical examination and test, there is no doubt that Chen Feng's bounce and speed can meet the standard, but his disadvantage of liliang deficiency is also written into that report.
In this way, Chen Feng settled down in San Antonio, without the imaginary flowers and the imaginary closed doors, everything seemed very bland.
Chen Feng was a little disappointed, but he also understood that every guy who can enter the NBA will not be worse than himself, and he can be proud of getting Greg's good sentence, right? Chen Feng's shooting is indeed good, but that's all!
Of course, disappointment is not the same as despair, and he already knows that if there are no surprises, he will be a member of the San Antonio team this season, according to Greg himself.
For Chen Feng, to be honest, Popovich doesn't like it very much, but he never looks at the players based on their existing data and ability, you don't see Parker and Ginobili are unknown figures in the draft, but in the hands of Popovich, he can shine, what he wants is potential!
The media on the other side of the ocean learned the news for the first time, so the slogans of Huaxia Jordan and Huaxia Kobe kept ringing, and they used Chen Feng's performance in the Olympics to say that a fledgling little guy became Ziwei Xingjun, but slowly this voice disappeared, replaced by silence and even ridicule.
Because Chen Feng can't play here at all, indeed, how could the Spurs with a complete lineup destroy the team's original chemistry for the sake of a hairy boy.
The team used to have Duncan as the core, and now Parker as the core, and their core transformation took only a few summers, after being hacked by the Grizzlies, the Spurs were reborn. They have this ability to switch quickly because of Popovich's proper guidance and his absolute control over the Spurs, but it is also this absolute control that cannot be out of the ordinary under Popovich's hands.
Of course, Popovich is also the only player in the league who gives players the most opportunities, because of the aging GDP, so he must give the three elders enough rest, which means that as long as the players are ready, they can play at any time.
Chen Feng was full of confidence when he came, and his reputation in China was unparalleled for a while, and his debut performance was really good, Popovich put him in the position of shooting guard, he was 196 cm tall, with his speed and shooting, he also scored 12 points.
But it was just a flash in the pan, Chen Feng, who lacked physical confrontation, played four games, and was thoroughly studied by his opponent, and from then on, there were fewer and fewer opportunities to play.
The cheers were gone, and even turned into sarcasm, which was definitely a blow to Chen Feng, whose heart was higher than the sky, but it was definitely not fatal!
People can be without pride, but they can't be without pride!
Chen Feng is the first team to arrive at the stadium every day, training, training hard! Time flies, most of the season has passed in a blink of an eye, Chen Feng, who has an annual salary of only 750,000, has completely become the most marginal figure of the team, if there is no accident, he will return to China next season!
On January 1, 2012, Beijing time, San Antonio faced the visiting Phoenix Suns at home, and there was no doubt that this game was not at all suspenseful for the Holy City.
Chen Feng, who was sitting on the bench, looked at Parker, who was almost doing whatever he wanted on the court, and was really envious in his heart, envious of his ability, and envious of the cheers he received, but thinking about his situation, he could only sigh gloomily.
At this time, Chen Feng's right arm guard suddenly became hot, and when Chen Feng felt uncomfortable, a voice appeared in his head.
"Do you want to turn on the Heavenly King system?"
The origin of this arm guard is very special, on the first night of his stay in San Antonio, this arm guard appeared at the head of his bed, he didn't think much about it at the time, thinking that he brought it from China, but now it seems that it is not like that!
The calmness on his face couldn't hide the turbulent waves in his heart, Chen Feng tried his best to make himself look normal, and then carefully said yes in his mind!
What happened next had to amaze Chen Feng, he found himself in an empty training hall, surrounded by stereoscopic screens, on which all kinds of characters were constantly playing offense and defense, but there was no doubt that these people had one thing in common, that is, Hall of Fame level.
"Welcome host, please select the training program and area!" The voice that didn't seem to have the slightest emotion sounded again! Several buttons appeared out of thin air in front of Chen Feng, with skills such as shooting, liliang, speed, breakthrough, etc., there is no doubt that Chen Feng now wants to amplify his own little bit and gain a firm foothold in the NBA first.
After Chen Feng clicked to shoot, a few buttons appeared below, but they were different areas, roughly five, that is, the bottom corners on both sides, the free throw lines on both sides and the top arc. Chen Feng thought about it for a while, and felt that he had the most shots at four or five degrees on the right side, and he himself had the highest hit rate in this place, so he chose forty-five degrees on the right side.
"The host was successfully selected, and the quality of the host itself began to be tested, and the 45-degree mid-range shooting ability on the right side was level 6, and the three-point shooting ability was level 4, and the comprehensive evaluation was average!"
When Chen Feng heard this, he could only smile bitterly, what he is best at can only be an average here, but looking up at the pitchers such as Hamilton and Ray Allen on the screen, Chen Feng could only smack his lips and stopped talking.
But then the voice of the system made Chen Feng want to cry without tears: "The host wants to start the shooting practice, and he must have 40 points, and now the host has 34 points, and he can't open it for the time being."
Chen Feng: "......"
"Chen, Chen, Chen?" When Chen Feng opened his eyes, he saw Popovich's serious face, for Popovich, Chen Feng no longer had a good impression when they first met, don't say it's him, even if the team's new stars Leonard and Danny Green don't do well, they will be scolded.
Well, I heard that Parker and Ginobili also came over like this!
"Get ready to play!" After saying this, Popovich shook his head and returned to his seat, originally he thought that Chen Feng was a very hard-working player, but looking at the current situation, he seems to have begun to give up on himself, and Popovich's least favorite is this kind of player.
