All I Really Want Is To Play Basketball Chapter 153: You are ‘The. King’?
After going out and looking around for a long time, Su Feng and Kobe can be regarded as finding a restaurant that looks good.
No way, this broken place in Cleveland is no better than Philadelphia or Los Angeles.
As a city full of sadness in the American sports world, Americans call Cleveland:
——"A place worse than hell".
In addition, about Cleveland, in the United States, there is a famous paragraph called:
"Cleveland, don't be too sad because you are laughed at by everyone in the United States. You know, everyone in every country laughs at a city.
For example, in Russia, we laugh at Cleveland. "
Don't doubt, this is a true portrayal of Cleveland, a city in the United States where everyone can joke at will.
The question is, why did the NBA officially arrange such a memorable All-Star game in Cleveland?
Don’t be surprised, if you know the things that Cleveland has experienced, then you know why the NBA officially arranges this All-Star Game in Cleveland.
You know, in the 1980s, the Cleveland Cavaliers were a team that forced the league to modify the rules for them.
In the early 1980s, after Tedster Piane bought the Cavaliers, in addition to changing 23 players and 4 coaches within a year, in 1981, he also did an extremely Silent things.
Maybe it was because the Lakers were not strong enough at the time. In 1981, Pinn gave the Cavaliers the first round of the draft to the Lakers almost for nothing.
Then, the Cavaliers, who only played 15 wins that season, successfully helped the Lakers win the No. 1 pick.
The Lakers have also become the only championship team in NBA history with the No. 1 pick.
The NBA high-level Buddha.
In desperation, they had to change the rules for the stupid Mr. Pean.
After that, no team is allowed to exchange first-round picks for two consecutive years.
Cough...
Child, in order to avoid brain damage, we can only stipulate that everyone is not allowed to play with you.
The history of the Cleveland Cavaliers is almost full of funny, funny, and desperate.
Even in the most glorious late 80s and early 90s of the Cavaliers, they can only become Jordan's background board time and time again.
Um...
Boss Joe’s famous "t" was cast in the Eastern Conference finals with the Cavaliers.
There is no future, no stars, just like the city of Cleveland, the Cavaliers seem to have been labeled as doomed since the beginning of the team.
Therefore, in this context, holding such an All-Star Game, in the eyes of NBA executives, can more highlight the meaning of "inheritance".
Give hope to desperate Cleveland that the top 50 stars will eventually age, and the new generation of players will gradually take the torch from their predecessors.
This kind of implication carries Stern's beautiful vision for the future of the NBA.
Burn it, Cleveland, to welcome you a better tomorrow!
Emmm...
Will Cleveland welcome their tomorrow? Su Feng doesn’t know...
But Su Feng feels that if Kobe eats more, his tomorrow will definitely be gone.
In a restaurant in Cleveland that was literally translated as "Courage and Hope" in Chinese, at the beginning, when Su Feng proposed "I don't need you to do it, you just leave the cook to me".. ....
The owner of this restaurant really wants to drive Su Feng and Kobe out.
However, after the green coins appeared in front of him, the boss named Connor performed the Sichuan opera "Changing Face" for Su Feng and Kobe.
So, after getting everything done, Su Feng started a lot of work in the back kitchen.
Then...
There is no more then.
Kobe Thea is almost eating a cow!
"Are you so hungry?" Su Feng looked at Kobe in surprise and said.
Kobe nodded, then buried his head in destroying the food.
Where can you understand Kobe’s bitterness, Su Feng?
You know, all Kobe’s hopes are now pinned on "flaming pizza".
No way, Su Feng's cooking skills are so good, so good that Kobe's stomach can't accommodate other people's food.
After accompanying Kobe to finish the tooth sacrifice, in order to avoid Kobe turning into a dagger in advance, Su Feng suggested that the two of them go for a short walk before returning to the hotel.
I have to say, in order to win the favor of Chinese fans, Stern is really a bit harder this time.
Because when he arrived in Cleveland today, Su Feng discovered that a lion dance team was performing not far from the officially designated hotel.
In addition, the hotel where Su Feng stayed also hung lanterns and pasted Spring Festival couplets.
Even during the halftime of this year's Rookie Challenge, NBA officials will organize players to make dumplings together.
Obviously, in this life, because of the appearance of Su Feng, the full-flavored All-Star Weekend that year has already appeared ahead of schedule.
"By the way, it seems to be on your side today. It's the Chinese New Year?" Kobe looked at Su Feng curiously while walking.
Su Feng nodded, "Well, today is called New Year's Eve on our side."
"If I have a chance in the future, I must go to China with you to see it." Kobe laughed.
Su Feng is happy. If Su Feng remembers correctly, Kobe will have to wait until 2001 for Kobe's first trip to China.
At that time, Kobe performed flying buckle on the Jiayuguan Great Wall, which made him gain a large number of Chinese fans.
Su Feng's previous life, the large number of Chinese mites is also related to the number of times Kobe came to China.
Compared with Jordan, Kobe's activities in China can definitely be called conscience. In the future, only Kela and Anta spokesperson can surpass.
"Okay, I'll call you with me when I go back." Su Feng patted Kobe's shoulder and said.
"Are there so many delicious things in China?" Kobe, who had just eaten enough, felt a little hungry again, not knowing why.
Looking at this Kobe, Su Feng covered his face with his big hand...
God, this Kobe...
He is crooked!
Just like you, how will you be the spiritual spokesperson for Mamba, NBA senior Kobe Bryant?
……
By the way, Cleveland, while Su Feng and Kobe were walking and chatting...
In a Nike sneaker store, a group of boys from Akron feel that their eyes are almost dazzling.
At the same time, Keith Dambrot looked at the happy expressions on the faces of the children, and couldn't help smiling with relief.
Frank Walker Jr., Cotton, Drew Joyce, Willie McGee, Romeo Travis, LeBron James...
If you ask in the future, when and where did LeBron James’ basketball journey begin, then...
Probably now.
Like Iverson, James also has a father who just sows.
His mother, Gloria, gave birth to him at the age of 16.
The impoverished Gloria was unable to raise young LeBron James while studying.
Well, history is always surprisingly similar.
The helpless Gloria had to take little James to her mother, who was James' grandmother, Freida.
In order to take care of her baby grandson, Freida bit her head and asked for various baby products and toys from neighbors in the neighborhood. Among them, the most famous is a blue plush baby elephant.
This is definitely the most precious gift in LeBron James' life.
Because on Christmas Eve in 1987, after receiving the first basketball of his life, James' grandmother, Freida, was far away from the world.
Since then, James has kept this little blue plush elephant.
The childhood starvation and cold, made James grow up quickly, because he has understood the so-called warmth of humanity since he was a child.
After Freida's death, in order to feed James, Gloria found a prospective stepfather for James.
A man named Eddie Jackson.
But the good times didn't last long. In 1990, Jackson also went to jail.
So, the same as Iverson’s experience of eating soil, the young James also played football for bread and sausages.
In the fourth grade, James, who was on the field as a wide receiver, set a record of 19 touchdowns in 6 games.
Like Iverson later met Coach Thompson, James also met the first noble man in his life this year:
——Frankie Walker.
When the school football coach heard that James was going to abandon school, he was furious and found Gloria:
Please give me your son, you can't spoil this kid's talent, he will definitely become the best wide receiver in America in the future!
In the end, Gloria and Walker reached an agreement.
Gloria figured out a way to pay the rent and let James live in Walker's house.
And after becoming a good friend with Frank Walker Jr., the son of coach Frank Walker, his talents in basketball have gradually revealed.
In 1996, when Su Feng and Kobe were busy running for the election, James and a few friends formed a basketball team.
It was also last summer, because of a chance encounter, James met the second noble man in his life:
——Former University of Michigan basketball coach Keith Dambrot.
Under the guidance of Dambrot, James' basketball skills and his height have grown rapidly.
Until this winter, because it coincides with the All-Star Weekend in Cleveland, in order to let these children who have never left Akron feel the atmosphere of the All-Star Weekend, Dambrotte and him 'S friend drove the children from Akron to Cleveland.
And after taking the group of Akron boys around for a while, at the suggestion of little Frank Walker, the group of children walked into a Nike sneaker store together.
Young James was quickly attracted by these dazzling arrays of sneakers.
Looking at the basketball shoes placed on the shoe cabinet, James felt his heart throbbing faster.
However, James did not step forward to touch these sneakers because he noticed the clerk's unfriendly look.
No way, who makes the American air so "sweet" and "free"?
The poor and the rich have heaven and **** on the other.
The clerks in this specialty store don't think these poor boys can buy any pair of sneakers here.
"Let's go!" In the store, the sensible James said, looking at the friends around him.
As the leader of this group of children, everyone always obeyed James.
Although McGee and Travis wanted to take another look, they still followed James firmly out of the Nike shoe store.
At this moment, after waiting for James and the others to leave the store, Dambroot stepped forward and picked up the pair of AJs James had just been staring at. He smiled and said to the clerk: "These shoes, I want Up."
It is worth mentioning that just after the clerk installed the pair of AJs for himself, Dambrot looked at the clerk and said, "Please remember the face of that child.
In the future, he has the ability to buy hundreds of stores like yours. "
After that, Dambrod ignored the surprised look of the clerk. After picking up the shoe box, he slowly followed James and his friends.
"LeBron, do you still have pocket money there?"
Walker put his hand on James' shoulder and said.
Although he is only 12 years old, James is already close to 180 cm tall.
Among his peers, he is tall, so it is difficult for Walker to walk with him on the shoulders as he did before.
"Franky, are you not spending your pocket money again?" James smiled and said to Walker.
Walker nodded awkwardly, spread his hands and said, "Save poor little Frankie, great LeBron."
James shook his head helplessly. After flipping through his pocket several times, he took out a few coins and said to Walker: "I only have these."
Walker who took the coin smiled, and after a while, he returned to the team with two cones.
"Originally, the money was only enough to buy one, but the boss said I was cute, so he gave me one."
After handing James another cone, Walker laughed.
James glanced at the other four friends, "Frankie, let's eat together, one bite each."
Walker struggled for a while, but under James' pressure, he finally passed his own cone to Travis first.
In this way, six teenagers ate two cones.
Of course, everyone tacitly left the most share to James.
James frowned and looked at the other five people, and said: "Don't do this..."
And maybe it was the relationship that focused on the little friends. At this moment, James didn't notice. With his right hand holding the cone, he happened to hit a passerby.
Dambrot, who was following James and the others, hurried forward upon seeing this and said: "Sorry, LeBron didn't mean it..."
Huh?
LeBron?
Su Feng, who was chatting with Kobe about the Iverson shower, stared at the ice cream cone pierced in front of his chest, and was stunned.
"Sir, sorry..."
Looking at Su Feng, who was tall, and Kobe, who was slightly shorter than Su Feng beside Su Feng, James frowned and apologized.
Frankie Walker, the youngest respondent, hurriedly stepped forward and "rescued" the ice cream cone that was stuck in Su Feng's chest.
"Sir, I can swear to God, LeBron really didn't mean it."
Wait a moment...
Looking at this group of 12 or 3 year-old black teenagers, and the black teenager who looked obviously much older than this group, Su Feng decided to take a breath of respect.
Look at the sky!
What is this...
Isn't it my Pippen?
As a "Humanoid Encyclopedia", how could Su Feng recognize the wrong person?
As far as LeBron James looks, even in the United States, there are not many...
Although he is relatively young at the moment, if you say he is 18 years old, Su Feng will believe him.
The head-up pattern is his symbol. The young emperor who walked out of Akron is a humanoid tank that will not be broken even if it is thrown away.
You can dislike him, or you can hack him and tease him.
But what you can't change is that from the moment he landed in the NBA, he had already booked a Hall of Fame seat in advance.
His name is LeBron and his last name is James.
Su Feng's future successor.
Su Feng feels that the United States is too small.
Because this can make him meet James?
Oh right!
If Su Feng remembers correctly, now, James has indeed begun to receive formal basketball training.
So, James is here to watch the All-Star Weekend with his friends?
At this moment, Su Feng looked at James curiously.
From the standpoint of height, James' actual height is not much worse than Iverson.
However, compared with the tank of the future, the young James is a bit too slim now.
Also, James is still half-eaten at the moment.
In the future, James will really start to become stronger, and he will have to wait for him to enter high school.
Because he will be famous in the United States in his first year of high school, someone will line up to give him money.
After scanning a circle, if Su Feng guessed right, those 12 and 13-year-old black teenagers should be James’s little party~IndoMTL.com~ After another two years, James will A team called "Northeast Ohio Stars" will be formed to play games across the United States.
By the time James is 15 years old, his genius name will spread throughout Ohio.
The next thing is our emperor's rugby and basketball record.
In the future, James will not give up football until he is determined to skip college and play NBA.
Since then, the NFL has also lost a super wide receiver.
The NBA also ushered in a young emperor who was labeled "Magic + Jordan" by scouts.
By the way, just as Su Feng was looking at James, Dambrot on the side suddenly looked at Su Feng and said, "You...are you Su?"
At this moment, James suddenly looked up at Su Feng in surprise and said: "You...you are the ‘g’ who created the ‘Meteor Slam Dunk’?"
Su Feng: "..."
"Yes, yes, he is Su, this year's Eastern Stars will start the small forward." Kobe patted Su Feng on the shoulder and smiled.
"Gosh! We met all-star players!"
"It's really Su, look, his hairstyle is exactly the same as in the poster!"
"Wow, ‘g’! I really like his ‘Meteor Slam Dunk’!"
"Sorry, I really didn't mean it just now, ‘g’!" James sincerely apologized to Su Feng.
"..."
