Chapter 1 Chinese Students(1/2)
Author: Chang'an Bujuan Township
August 1989, University of Washington, Seattle, USA.
The basketball hall was full of people who had come to try out.
After Lynn Nance became the new head coach of the University of Washington Huskies, he decided to make a major overhaul of the team's lineup and announced that he would recruit 5 to 6 new players this year.
"Hey, Luck, are you nervous? A lot of people are looking at you."
In the noisy arena, the big white man lowered his head and whispered to the small yellow man next to him.
Lu Feng shrugged and said, "It's nothing strange, Jeff, look at my skin color, I'm used to it."
The English name Lu Feng gave himself is Raki, which can be translated as Raki or Rick. Of course, he is not a banana person, but an international student from China.
Lu Feng finally traveled through time once, and was bound to a golden finger that is essential for time travellers. Perhaps because he liked basketball in his previous life, Lu Feng was bound to a three-nothing autistic system called the "Talent System".
This system cannot speak. For many years, except for giving Lu Feng a talent when he first traveled through time, there has been no response.
The reason why this happens is because Lu Feng traveled through time a bit early...
In this life, Lu Feng was born in 1973, a full 10 years earlier than in his previous life!
Fortunately, Lu Feng is no longer an orphan in this life, and the presence of his family has made him less dissatisfied. Returnees in this era are still valuable, and Lu Feng's family also supports him in coming to study abroad.
[Current task: Join a B-level basketball league as a basketball player and officially open the system (not completed)]
That's right, the reason why the system didn't respond was because of Lu Feng's cheating mission.
He had just turned 16 and had no chance to play professional basketball before. What's more, it was only 1989, which was still 6 years away from the birth of the CBA.
The newly formed CBA that he was considering might not be able to reach the B-level league required by the system. Lu Feng didn't want to waste 22 years, so he decisively chose Korrun.
"Lark, to be honest, you shouldn't come here. I don't think a 16-year-old yellow-skinned boy can be attracted by the coach."
The person Lu Feng was talking to was his roommate in the double dormitory - Jeff Brown, a white fool who was 206cm tall, rude, violent, and sensitive.
"Come on Jeff, if I'm not interested, then you're even less likely to be interested."
"Are you kidding? I'm Larry Bird II!"
"A big softie who just floats and shoots from the outside? Jeff, Big Bird is not as afraid of confrontation as you are."
"Fake, you..."
Lu Feng had rich experience in how to get along with white men like Jeff Brown in his previous life, and he could break his defense with just two sentences.
The trial training is not complicated. First, you have to go through a physical test, eliminate most of the people, and then play a few balls with the assistant coach. Maybe there will be a 5V5 actual battle.
Jeff Brown was in front of Lu Feng, and Lu Feng shook his head and sighed after reading his physical test.
As expected, he is a big man with no height and weight, but an average wingspan, a disaster of dynamic talent, and a short and slow jump...
"Come on, Asian boy, I've been following you for a long time."
"I won't let you down, sir!"
Lu Feng reported his name and age, and the assistant teacher frowned.
"You're only 16, kid. Are you sure you want to join the basketball team?"
"certainly!"
"Okay, then continue."
The teaching assistant originally wanted Lu Feng to leave directly. He was too young and a Chinese student studying abroad, which made people feel unreliable.
The test starts with measuring the height...
Assistant coach: "5'11?"
Lu Feng: "6 feet."
(The president will grow taller, and it would be more reasonable for the NCAA to be shorter!)
The assistant coach skillfully wrote "6 feet" on the height, and then the wingspan.
"6'6?"
"6'6."
With a height of 183 (?) and a wingspan of 198, he is absolutely a perfect static talent at the No. 1 position. This data surprised the assistant coach and head coach Lynn Nance who was in charge of the test.
But after the testing of other projects, it was not just as simple as being surprised.
After the test, Lu Feng’s overall data is:
Palm length: 20cm
Palm width: 22cm
Barefoot height: 183cm(?)
Height wearing shoes: 183cm (accurate!)
Wingspan:198cm
Standing reach: 245cm
Vertical bounce: 81cm
Run-up bounce: 101cm
Run-up touch height: 346cm
Weight: 71kg
Movement of 4 points within the three-second zone: 10.35s
Bottom line return run: 2.80s
3/4 sprint (22.86s): 3.19s
Maximum bench press times: 2 times
"WTF, he is really a yellow man. He is definitely not a five-star high school student wearing a yellow leather jacket!"
"God, this must not be true. Damn it, this world is so unfair!"
Lu Feng's dynamic and static talents have no shortcomings except that he is too light and weak in strength. After all, this is 1989.
The reason for this is that the [Talent System] gave Lu Feng a talent called [Strengthening Body] after he traveled through time.
[Strengthen the body: Strengthen the host’s athletic talent. 】
Coach Lynn Nance started focusing on Lu Feng's physical test from the middle. After all the tests were completed, he couldn't wait to get Lu Feng's physical test report from the assistant coach.
After reading them all, Lynn Nance can confirm...
"This guy is a genius!"
He completely ignored Lu Feng's 16-year-old age. After all, this was 1989, an era when talented children were emerging all over the world.
As a professional coach, Lynn Nance knows very well that basketball is all about physical talent. Even if Lu Feng has no skills at all, he will still accept him.
Lu Feng is only 16 years old. Even after two years, he is still only 18. Olajuwon can dominate the NCAA after learning basketball for two years. He believes that Lu Feng will be the same. This is the world of geniuses.
What's more, Lu Feng is not necessarily unskilled.
Lynn Nance only signed a coaching contract in July. By this time, the talented high school students in the United States have already decided which college they want to attend.
It's been a month, and Lynn Nance has watched the Huskies' 29 game videos from the previous year. Nearly half a month into the school year, Lynn Nance decided to eliminate 5 unqualified players through team training.
The team bastard he asked for.
He likes to play long rotations of 10-12 people, and the Huskies don't have a talent worthy of playing 30 minutes per game, so he decided to start recruiting on campus.
He was prepared to be the weakling of the Huskies for two years, but he didn't expect that he would meet a genius like Lu Feng during school recruitment.
Without thinking, Lynn Nance arranged for Lu Feng to play a 1V1 game with an assistant coach with 5 goals.
Lu Feng kicked off the ball and looked at the petite and thin assistant coach who was 170cm tall standing in front of him...
Isn't it right? You've already been like this, but the coach still arranges it like this?
Lu Feng decided that he would show off his basketball skills after playing basketball for two lifetimes and prove his true qualities.
Thinking of this, he cast a murderous look at the assistant coach.
The assistant teacher clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Come on, yellow-skinned one..."
Before the assistant teacher finished speaking, Lu Feng passed him like a gust of wind...
Boom!
Lu Feng took off and dunked, taking the first ball!
After landing the dunk, Lu Feng roared and looked towards coach Lynn Nance.
Lynn Nance frowned and then quickly let go... Yes, he is indeed a genius. He has a certain basketball foundation and is skilled in dribbling. He needs to continue to look at other things.
The teaching assistant raised his head aggrievedly and looked at Lu Feng: No, you really came, I haven’t even finished what I said!
Is it okay for you, a 16-year-old basketball genius, to cheat and sneak attack on me, an assistant coach in his 30s? This is not good. Peace should be the most important thing in the team...
