“Congratulations! You have won a three-day nutrient fluid package!”
“Congratulations! You have won a five-day nutrient fluid package!”
“Congratulations! You have won a four-day nutrient fluid package!”
“Congratulations…”
What was the nature of the system?
“Is this system a broken record?”
Initially, after reading the description of the nutrient fluid, Su Feng’s confidence in entering the NBA, marrying a beautiful and rich wife, and his plan towards reaching the peak of his life had increased tremendously…
However…
Su Feng, who had played mobile games in his past life, was very certain that if he kept getting the same reward through a lucky draw like this…
That meant that the item…
Was a common item.
Therefore, after winning the nutrient fluid seven consecutive times, Su Feng hesitated.
Should he continue?
“Since I have already done it seven times…”
The nature of a gambler was…
To gamble to the death.
“Congratulations! You have won the A-grade Steph Curry Shooting Package!”
Oh?
When Su Feng heard the sound of the system, he quickly checked the description of his award.
“Shooting action: Increases Master’s shooting speed and stability based on Master’s installed shooting actions. Some of the higher grade packages can increase Master’s aim.”
“A-grade Steph Curry package: NBA legendary shooter Steph Curry’s shooting action package is able to increase Master’s shooting speed by 15%. There is an additional 20% likelihood of no disturbance.”
“Hold on, this is only grade A? Does that mean there would be a grade S Curry shooting package, grade SS… Or even a grade SSR that nobody would be able to roll?”
Su Feng was stunned.
What the f*ck!?
Were there times the system would judge his looks?
After eating another bite of his pizza, Su Feng was puzzled. “But I am so handsome, nobody can find any fault from any angle.”
“Congratulations! You have won a five-day nutrient fluid package!”
“Congratulations! You have won a three-day nutrient fluid package!”
“Congratulations…”
Aiyo!
After winning a total of 56 days worth of nutrient fluid and the A-grade shooting package, Su Feng felt like the system was jealous of his looks.
This had to be the case.
Hmm…
Hmm!
“Install this shooting action first!” However, Su Feng did not give up, that was because he found a shortcut for getting more Brick Shot Points…
Therefore, heaven had endowed one with talents.
However, there was a problem…
How could Su Feng make sure that Kobe would appear for the one-on-one match tomorrow at 4 AM?
Emmmmmm.
One might not believe it, but after the match with Kobe that day, Su Feng observed the location of Kobe’s house in Philadelphia before he had gone to buy pizza.
If Kobe did not appear tomorrow at 4 AM, Su Feng would definitely make a commotion in front of his house.
As for disturbing the residents, whatever…
Since he had moved to meet his idol, there was nothing stopping him from meeting Kobe!
Alright…
Actually, there was another reason why Su Feng wanted to become friends with Kobe.
That was because Su Feng knew that if the news he saw before he moved was true, then as a “Kobe fan”, he had to find ways to make friends with Kobe.
In this life, Su Feng definitely had to protect the 8.1 billion Kobe fans’ smiles!
“Sigh, I am too nobel.” After being touched by himself, Su Feng ate another slice of pizza…
….
The next day at 4 AM.
The sky was still dark. Therefore, naturally, Su Feng was unable to see the sun in Philadelphia.
He looked at the empty basketball court and sighed to himself.
“It seems I have to go down to make a commotion…”
Just as Su Feng was about to take action, a basketball suddenly flew towards him.
Pang!
“You are crazy.”
Although Philadelphia was not very cold at the end of May, it was still 4 AM. Therefore, Kobe was shivering slightly as he was only wearing a T-shirt…
Suddenly, Su Feng felt like crying.
“He came!
“He really came!
“My human cheat… Woah, my idol, he came!”
“Let me make myself clear. I am not here to play one-on-one with you. Moreover, I will not do anything foolish like that anymore. I think you should know better that you are no match for me…”
Just as Kobe was explaining why he had shown up for the meeting, a sandwich was suddenly passed to him.
At this moment, Su Feng’s gaze clearly meant “don’t talk, eat first…”
“I made it myself. You must not have had breakfast yet. Eat first, then we will play one on one.” As Su Feng said that, he passed Kobe a bottle of milk.
Although Kobe’s parents had told him not to accept food from strangers…
He could not resist the grumbles of his stomach…
“Hmm… It tastes good. You really made it yourself?” Kobe said as he ate the sandwich.
Su Feng passed him two more sandwiches and said, “Of course, eat them, don’t worry, I have many more.”
Kobe just realized that Su Feng’s bag was full of sandwiches…
Was this guy the legendary…
Feeder?
….
As the saying went, taking advantage of others.
After eating his breakfast, Kobe forgot that the reason he had come here was to make things clear to Su Feng to stop pestering him…
“Come, let’s begin our one-on-one. We still haven’t decided on a winner!” Su Feng was as excited as seeing money when he saw Kobe.
“Wait… wait a minute!”
Kobe took a deep breath and said, “Do you still not understand? You are not my match…”
“I know, I am definitely not your match. You are the top high school basketball player, I am just an ordinary human,” replied Su Feng.
“Then there’s no meaning in this…” Kobe looked at Su Feng in confusion.
“I want to play in the NBA,” Su Feng said seriously as he looked at Kobe.
Initially, Su Feng thought Kobe would laugh at him. However, he realized that after he said that he wanted to play in the NBA, not only did Kobe not laugh, he became serious too.
“He must really love basketball…”
Kobe looked at Su Feng and said, “I am Kobe Bryant, what’s your name?”
Su Feng replied, “Su Feng, you can call me Su.”
“Su… Alright, I have decided. In the future, you will be coached by me!” Kobe suddenly spoke like a senior.
Su Feng was speechless.
This felt great.
No wonder he was Kobe…
Even when he was young, he loved to teach others.
In Su Feng’s past life, Kobe loved to instruct others and pass down his basketball skills. However… Su Feng did not expect the high school boy in front of him to…
“What? I am the best high school basketball player in America. In the future, I will definitely play in the NBA. I offered to teach you and you are not willing to accept my offer?” Kobe was a little unhappy.
Su Feng shook his head. Aiyo, he was indeed amazing.
“Of course I do, I just wanted to know if you were willing to…” Su Feng looked at Kobe curiously.
“Stop talking nonsense. Why are you so draggy? Pick up the basketball, we will begin our morning training. From today onwards, I will wait for you here every day at 4 AM!” Kobe said as he looked at Su Feng.
Su Feng was speechless.
What the f*ck!?
Everyday at 4 AM?
He would die like that!
Su Feng initially wanted to play a fool. However, he did not expect to open pandora’s box…
However, that was not a bad thing!
That was because if he was just playing a game, Su Feng might not be able to do it. However, if it was playing basketball…
It seemed like…
It was quite difficult too!
“For the Brick Shot Points!” Su Feng tightened his fists. After gathering his focus, he looked at Kobe with desperation.
Life does not stop, neither does basketball!
….
Clang!
The special training ended very quickly. Looking at what he had managed to gain although he was very tired, Su Feng thought that it was worth it.
Moreover, what was worth mentioning was that Su Feng’s mid-range shooting points had increased by one point, to 16.
Besides that, after installing the A-grade shooting action, Su Feng roughly knew the use of this action.
Firstly, this action would not change the original action of the user.
Secondly, after installing this A-grade package, Su Feng could clearly feel that his shooting speed was a notch faster than before.
It was like how a cocoon… Anyway, Su Feng did not know how to explain it, it was basically much better.
However, Su Feng could not feel the so-called shooting resistance.
That was because in the one-on-one match with Kobe, Su Feng was preventing Kobe from blocking him…
Moreover, Kobe seemed to have intentionally exposed his weakness for Su Feng to attack, possibly in an attempt to boost Su Feng’s confidence.
To be honest, that troubled Su Feng.
That was because he really wanted the Brick Shot Points…
“Sigh…” Su Feng felt that he should treasure this period of time when his shooting ability was still low.
Actually, when he first got the system, Su Feng thought about whether he could continuously gain Brick Shot Points if he purposely refused to shoot or did not train his shooting.
However, in reality, it was a paradox!
Firstly, because Su Feng had to earn Brick Shot Points from missed shots, he would have to practice shooting more than anyone else!
Therefore, Su Feng predicted that his shooting skills would definitely improve the fastest.
Moreover, if Su Feng’s shooting was inaccurate, would the coach give him unlimited chances to shoot during a match?
Without unlimited chances to shoot, would he still want to continue missing shots?
Hehe, he should not underestimate basketball!
Su Feng believed that if he did not take part in competitions with high difficulty, he would not be able to obtain his Brick Shot Points this easily.
That was because he was too terrible; therefore, his Brick Shot Points would accumulate quickly if only Kobe played at multiple levels more advanced than him.
Su Feng felt that he could only work on the difficulty level.
The so-called fadeaway jump-shot, drifting, he would have to train more rigorously in his free time. This was to ensure that he could play charismatically but did not aim too well.
Moreover, in this period of time, as long as his aim was not too bad, his instructor would give him a chance.
In conclusion…
Charisma would make it all!
“I am going to school… Oh right, don’t you have to go to school?” asked Kobe as he looked at the exhausted Su Feng.
“We are on vacation…” replied Su Feng.
“Which school?” asked Kobe curiously.
“Nefaria,” replied Su Feng.
“Sigh, that’s good. See you in the afternoon!” Kobe looked at Su Feng with envy and left.
Therefore…
Su Feng was left alone in the empty basketball court.
After taking a sip of the nutrient fluid he had won yesterday, Su Feng gathered his spirits and picked up the basketball…
“A buck is a buck!
“Accumulate!”
Clang!
“Ding! Brick Shot Points +1!”
Clang!
“Ding! Missed…”
