You might not believe it.
Su Feng, who had "fed" Kobe with that shot, this was the first time he had assisted someone in making a shot…
The audience in the indoor basketball court was extremely high.
Unlike the future, happiness in the 1990s was so pure and boring.
Kobe was extremely happy after the slam dunk. He kept "praising" Su Feng for his passes.
Meanwhile, the other players of Lower Merion cried silently.
Indeed, there were still differences between them.
Where was the so-called freedom, equality, and love?
Hehe, that was f*cking reality.
Chester High School required a time out after Kobe's slam dunk.
Conte, as the head coach of Chester High School, had figured out that there was no planning done by Lower Merion High School. They were playing normally!
Yet their own players had ended up in a mess. How frustrated was he?
They had given their opponents free points!
Therefore, during the time out, after scolding DeMarcus, Conte repeated the tactic.
Sigh, he was so disappointed!
He would sooner or later die from anger thanks to his players!
Just as Conte was about to take a sip of warm water to calm himself down, DeMarcus, who was initially in deep thought, suddenly said excitedly, "Coach, I figured it out!"
Pfft!
Conte nearly choked on his warm water. What, what did you figure out again? Brother, please, can you just not understand anything?
DeMarcus looked as though he had figured out something big and said, "That's still their plan! They must have guessed that I will be able to 'read their minds' and intentionally not do anything!
"This is too cunning, I must have underestimated them. Thank you, Coach, I will never be misled again!" DeMarcus clenched his fists and became more impressed with Su Feng.
Conte made a facepalm speechlessly when he saw DeMarcus' excitement.
Forget it, forget it, as long as he could play normally. As for the others…
Who cares?
After the time-out, the match resumed. The score was 2:7 and Lower Merion was leading by five points.
It was Chester High School's turn to attack. As Lower Merion put more effort in spotting their opponents, Chester did not manage to shoot.
At the critical moment, DeMarcus came forward and asked for the ball.
Although he was not very intelligent, he was extremely talented.
Especially his first step.
It was a real-leap.
"How risky!"
If Su Feng did not catch up, he would have lost the possession of the ball to DeMarcus.
Thankfully, Su Feng had been undergoing intensive training with Kobe.
Moreover, after the trip to New York, Su Feng had gained much experience in defending against speedy players.
If not… Su Feng would probably have lost the possession of the ball.
Kobe smiled wholeheartedly when he saw Su Feng successfully catch up with DeMarcus.
After all, Kobe had watched Su Feng's progress.
When he recalled how it was peanuts to destroy Su Feng when he first met him…
Hold on!
Kobe frowned and realized that something was odd.
Shhh!
"Although Su never beat me in one-on-ones, I find it increasingly difficult to beat him…" Kobe realized that if that was the case, was he not improving at all?
Of course, the "generous" Kobe did not worry that he would be defeated by Su Feng in one-on-ones…
Ah spat!
He definitely could not be defeated by that brat!
If not, goodness knows how that brat would mock him!
Kobe clenched his fists and made up his mind. Tomorrow… No, he would go and train more after the match ended!
Alright…
Actually, Kobe did not know that he had misunderstood Su Feng.
That was because Su Feng did not think that he would be able to defeat Kobe in a one-on-one match.
Of course, if Kobe was in a bad condition and Su Feng seized the opportunity, Su Feng would only just make a few lines of comments…
Cough, back to the match.
On the basketball court, DeMarcus was unable to get over Su Feng's defence. Su Feng was forced to forcefully attack at the three-point arc.
Su Feng's "death coil" was different from the future version. Su Feng, who was always concerned about doing things "humanely", did not like to push his opponent to a dead end.
Su Feng prefered to deplete his opponent's physical energy and force him to act forcefully.
Firstly, this could help conserve his energy for defence. Secondly, with this forceful pressure, his opponent would not be able to aim properly.
The "mad dog style death coil" did not have any techniques. As long as you had the attitude, you could control the player you wanted.
The future Beverley was a representation of this type of defence. Although the players who were against him would be able to score, their accuracy would not be too high.
Meanwhile, to Su Feng, as long as he was able to put a restraint on his opponent's accuracy, it would be a successful defence.
This type of defence would be able to crush the attacker's confidence because as long as he missed the shot a few times, he would not dare to continue shooting.
After all…
Not everyone was like Kobe!
Clang!
Indeed, DeMarcus missed the shot. Lasman passed the ball to Schwartz after catching it.
However, Chester was a team which underwent good training. They did not give Lower Merion the chance to counterattack immediately.
Schwartz passed the ball to Kobe. Kobe was a representative of a tough character. Even though he was surrounded by his opponents, he did not show signs of fear.
After all, if he was not like that, how was he able to to become the Tsuchikage of Land of Earth?
Kobe made use of his speed to free up some space. Just as he was about to dribble to the left, he suddenly changed his gravity from the left to the right while pulling the ball back!
Left hand version of the Shammgod!
Kobe managed to break free from the trap of the players from Chester High School!
He immediately charged to the free throw lane and leaped. With an extremely large range of motion, he darted from the defence of Chester!
Kobe was extremely agile.
What kind of person was he?
Everyone exclaimed!
The fans of Lower Merion were immersed.
They were completely hooked.
The reporters were stunned. Mills and Markson looked at each other. That was because they saw this technique again… the technique that they had never seen before.
Duke University's scout, Wesley, was very fortunate that he had established a good relationship with Kobe and Su Feng. That was because they were… freaking talents!
If Wesley's thoughts could be translated to Mandarin, the meaning would be roughly: Kobe and Su Feng, you could secure a win with one of them, but with both of them…
You would definitely win!
After witnessing Kobe's Shammgod, Su Feng felt that he should not compare himself with others.
Especially after the ending of the move…
That stay in the air, that turn, that arm movement, it was stunning!
"Splendid!" Su Feng purposely walked beside Kobe and gave him a thumbs up.
However, Su Feng, who initially wanted to improve Kobe's good mood… Did not expect Kobe…
"What are you doing? Why aren't you defending? Are you waiting for your opponent to attack?" Kobe rolled his eyes.
Su Feng was speechless.
Su Feng was confused…
When did I offend Kobe?
I didn't!
Alright… It is Kobe after all, a normal person cannot follow his thoughts…
Actually, Su Feng misunderstood Kobe…
That was because Kobe was actually happy.
As for why he had treated Su Feng that way?
That was because Kobe was angry just by thinking of Su Feng!
He had no choice—not only was a Virgo compulsive, he held grudges.
It was obvious that… Kobe, being the intersect of a Virgo and Leo, possessed the "good characteristics" of both horoscopes.

(Deleting 300,000 words about the match)
In the end, after a tough fight, Chester High School lost to Lower Merion High School with a score of 64:79.
Although Lower Merion showed that the other players were unable to catch up with Kobe and Su Feng's tempo, Lower Merion managed to clinch the win eventually.
"It seems like unless both Kobe and I only shoot brick shots, Lower Merion High School will have a 95 percent chance of securing the championship title of the Pennsylvania High School basketball league.
"Hmm… 95 percent is still slightly low. We have to encourage strong players like Schwartz to attack when there's a chance.
"Stewart's shots are still alright, Lasman is not as good…
"However, if we are able to make use of our teammates to their full potential, we should be able to increase our chances of winning by a fraction or two of a percent.
"Sigh, 99 percent is not much different from zero after rounding down a few times. Therefore, we cannot slack off!" Su Feng thought about it seriously after the match.
Su Feng had managed to score 11 out of 26 shots in the match. That included three three-pointers out of nine attempts. There were no free throws. He had managed to score 25 points, three rebounds, and one assist.
Meanwhile, Kobe had managed to score 12 out of 28 shots. That included one three-pointer out of seven attempts, three out of six free throws. He had managed to score 28 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and three steals.
From the times they attacked, Kobe and Su Feng were responsible for nearly 80 percent of the attacks of Lower Merion. Su Feng felt that this would greatly affect their teammates' motivation.
Moreover, if Su Feng and Kobe were not as accurate as today, the rate of losing for Lower Merion would increase tremendously.
Therefore, Su Feng felt that it was time to recommend Kobe to do something.
Wasn't a Triple Double great?
After all, although the Brick Shot Points Su Feng had obtained from the matches were nowhere near the points he had obtained from Kobe, it boosted his future portfolio. Su Feng felt that he definitely should go for it if he would be able to win the championship in year three.
Both Su Feng and Kobe would be almost undefeatable if they worked together.
If they made a mistake… Su Feng would be speechless.
Of course, before recommending that to Kobe, Su Feng did not expect…
His performance to be so well-received.
After the match, Mills and Markson surrounded him and stopped him…
….
