The black boy next to him chimed in, "Eastern kid, you don't even know him, Anderson! He once won eleven games in a row in a one-on-one!"
Winning eleven games in a row, he was indeed a master.
Li Feng nodded, "Anderson, right? Alright, then let's do a one-on-one. How do you want to play?"
"Simple, American one-on-one. Five baskets, whoever scores more wins!"
"Okay, you go first!" Li Feng threw the ball to Anderson.
"Hmph, you're quite arrogant. You go first. Don't say I'm bullying you. If I attack first, you won't even touch the ball!" Anderson said arrogantly, throwing the ball back to Li Feng.
Li Feng stifled a laugh and gave it back to him, "It's fine, if I don't touch the ball, I lose. You go ahead."
Seeing Li Feng's calm demeanor, Anderson became more cautious. After all, Li Feng's dunks were so explosive, his physical fitness must be top-notch.
"Then I'll go first. Watch closely!"
Anderson said, starting his triple-threat move outside the three-point line.
Li Feng spread his arms, defending seriously.
The crowd started to stir, most of them thinking Anderson would definitely win because Anderson had half a head taller than Li Feng.
Furthermore, Anderson was very well-known here, and his one-on-one skills were truly impressive.
Anderson faked two feints, then suddenly drove the ball, charging down the left side.
His initial speed was very fast. If anyone else were defending, they would have been left behind.
But Li Feng's footwork was faster, staying right on him, and applying physical contact, keeping him outside the paint.
Anderson was shocked. He thought he was strong enough, and he had never been at a disadvantage in terms of strength on this court.
To his surprise, the guy a few inches shorter than him had so much power.
Anderson used all sorts of moves but couldn't shake Li Feng's defense. In desperation, he leaned into Li Feng and then executed a turnaround jump shot.
This was his signature move, practiced countless times in private.
Whenever a one-on-one situation got stuck, he used this move to score, and it never failed.
But today, he met Li Feng, destined to be humiliated.
*Slap!*
The moment he shot, Li Feng suddenly leaped up like a spring, swung his right hand, and *slap!*
He actually batted the ball to the ground.
Anderson was stunned.
Li Feng quickly snatched the ball and smiled, "My turn now?"
The surrounding crowd erupted in gasps of surprise, followed by a continuous stream of applause and cheers!
"That block was amazing, his bounce is incredible."
"The key is the timing, he's really a master!"
"It's over, Anderson is going to get schooled, haha!"
...
While the crowd was discussing, Li Feng started his offense.
Anderson perked up. Although his offense was disrupted just now, he felt he had been careless.
And Li Feng's vertical leap was so good, getting blocked like that was normal.
"Hmph, I'll block you back, just wait!" Anderson continued with his trash talk, extending his long arms.
Li Feng dribbled the ball slowly, appearing lazy.
Suddenly, Li Feng drove to the right, breaking past.
Anderson was ready and immediately stayed with Li Feng.
He thought his speed was fast, but compared to Li Feng, it was slow.
At the same time, he added some subtle moves, pushing Li Feng.
But Li Feng's body was like an iron pillar, remarkably stable, completely unfazed by his small actions.
Li Feng easily reached the basket and slammed home a one-handed dunk!
The entire stadium was in an uproar!
"My God, that was too fast!"
"Anderson's speed is already fast, and he couldn't keep up with this kid!"
"Is he really a master? Playing the underdog?"
"Don't say that, he never intended to play in the first place, wasn't he forced into it?"
"Anderson is just unlucky, haha, his face is completely swollen."
...
The spectators chattered endlessly, and all their discussions reached Anderson's ears. His face turned red, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
"Again!" Anderson gritted his teeth, still holding onto a sliver of hope, perhaps this kid was just fast.
Li Feng returned to the three-point line and asked with a smile, "How about we stop here? You're no match for me."
Anderson thought Li Feng's initial burst was over and insisted, "No, let's play again. I don't believe you're this good!"
Li Feng sighed and decided to change tactics.
He dribbled the ball slowly, then suddenly drove to the left. Anderson was very active and immediately blocked him.
Unexpectedly, Li Feng pulled the ball back and executed a step-back, retreating to about a meter beyond the three-point line.
The entire audience was stunned. This was a one-on-one game, what was he doing?
Even if he wanted to shoot a three-pointer, he didn't need to run that far.
Anderson was also stunned, hesitating whether to charge forward.
Who knew Li Feng calmly caught the ball and directly shot a super long three-pointer!
"What? Is he crazy?"
Under everyone's astonished gaze, Li Feng's three-pointer was perfectly sunk!
*Swish!*
It was a clean swish!
The onlookers erupted in enthusiastic applause again. They finally understood that Li Feng was indeed a master!
Jena was exceptionally proud. She strutted onto the court and hugged Li Feng's arm.
"Hey, do you guys even have anyone decent? Too weak!"
The crowd burst into laughter again. Anderson couldn't stand it any longer. He quietly put on his jacket, squeezed through the crowd, and left the court.
Li Feng actually didn't want to do this, but what could he do? Some people just wouldn't stop until they hit a wall.
Just as Li Feng was about to take Jena away from the court, the crowd behind them suddenly stirred again.
"Hey, look who's here!"
"No way, is that Irving?"
"It's Irving! From Duke University, who led the team to victory against Michigan State last month, he scored 31 points!"
"Why is he here? This is going to be good!"
"Let him teach that Eastern kid a lesson."
"He's the only one who can do it, Anderson lost, and no one else dares to step up!"
...
The crowd became excited, and they automatically made way for Irving.
Irving was here to play today. Although he performed exceptionally well in the NCAA, he hadn't entered the NBA yet, so his fame wasn't very high.
He had seen people playing one-on-one from a distance earlier and realized Li Feng was quite skilled, so Irving felt a little itchy and wanted to give it a try.
Li Feng was about to leave when he saw Irving, and a surge of excitement washed over him.
Irving was his favorite player, a man of good character, great skill, and a humble demeanor, who also played cleanly.
Especially Irving's flashy dribbling and his ability to become one with the ball made Li Feng envious.
Even though Li Feng had learned many of Irving's techniques from the system, being able to play one-on-one with Irving in person would be truly thrilling!
"Hello, my name is Irving. Can we play for a bit?" Irving proactively extended his hand.
At this moment, Irving looked youthful, sunny, and cute.
Li Feng smiled, extended his hand, and replied, "Sure, Irving, I know you! You play beautifully."
Irving was a bit surprised, but after all, he had made a splash in the NCAA, so being recognized wasn't strange.
"Thanks for the compliment. I saw your skills earlier, very good. Let's spar. By the way, what's your name?"
As Li Feng was thinking about how to introduce himself, whether to use a fake name, Jena suddenly said from the side, "Call him Stone."
Li Feng's face turned red, feeling awkward because "Stone" was Jena's nickname for him when they were together, describing him as tough!
Irving heard this and knew it wasn't Li Feng's real name, likely a nickname. He smiled and said, "Stone, that's good, a nice name."
Seeing their modesty, the onlookers were displeased. They preferred intense and exciting confrontations.
So they started to egg them on, urging the two to play soon.
Jena suddenly said from the side again, "Irving, do you think you can win? Want to bet on something?"
Irving blinked and chuckled, "You probably don't know who I am, do you? Want to ask your boyfriend if he dares to bet with me?"
He thought Li Feng would definitely refuse, because he was Irving!
Who knew Li Feng would seize the opportunity and nod, "Sure, let's bet on something then."
Irving's expression turned serious. He felt Li Feng was underestimating him. If he'd heard of Irving's name, why would he dare to bet?
"Alright, then how about this? If I lose, I'll give you this necklace!"
Saying that, Irving pointed to the thick gold chain around his neck.
Black men liked to wear thick gold chains, and Irving was no exception. Moreover, his chain was thick, heavy, and quite valuable.
The crowd gasped again. Irving was very confident in himself!
Li Feng remained calm, reached out and touched Irving's thick gold chain, praising, "It's indeed nice, quite expensive, isn't it."
Irving became a little impatient, pushed Li Feng's hand away, and asked, "What if you lose?"
Li Feng hadn't worn anything valuable today, not even a watch. As he was contemplating, Jena suddenly lifted the necklace from her neck.
"If my boyfriend loses, I'll give this necklace to you!"
The crowd laughed again. Jena's attire today was ordinary, not like someone from a wealthy family, and the necklace was so thin, it was surely not valuable.
"You really know how to gamble. Irving has such a thick gold chain, and you're betting with a thin chain?"
"This girl is quite pretty, but her head isn't quite right, haha!"
"Her head isn't right? I think she's too smart, too clever!"
...
Jena didn't get angry. She giggled and took off the necklace, placing it in front of Irving.
"Between your necklace and mine, which one do you think is more expensive?"
Irving actually didn't care about this. He just wanted to dominate Li Feng and prove his strength.
Besides, even if he won, he wouldn't want anything from Li Feng, especially not a girl's necklace.
"It doesn't matter, expensive or not, it's all the same..." Irving said impatiently, about to push away the necklace in Jena's hand, when he suddenly noticed that the necklace in Jena's hand was a yellow diamond necklace from Leviev, a top luxury jewelry brand in London.
The cheapest necklace from this brand cost hundreds of thousands.
Looking at Jena's necklace, it should be at least a million.
Irving looked at Jena in surprise, glanced at her a few times, and slowly said, "Yours is too expensive, put it away."
The crowd was very surprised. They were too far away to see clearly, but from Irving's expression and tone, they could tell that Jena's necklace was very valuable.
So they started discussing again.
Li Feng threw the ball to Irving and said, "Alright, let's begin."
Irving didn't stand on ceremony. He felt that these two were not simple, so he nodded and stood at the three-point line.
At this time, Irving's style was still somewhat different from his style a few years after joining the league.
In his college days, his playstyle was explosive, with very large movements, but his rhythm was not as perfect as it would be later.
So, he started by breaking through to the right.
Then, at the moment Li Feng blocked him, he executed a large behind-the-back dribble, attempting to shake off Li Feng and go down the left side.
Who knew Li Feng seemed to know his moves like the back of his hand, his footwork was incredibly fast, and he wasn't fooled by his moves at all.
Irving was shocked. During his college games, this move had never failed him!
But today, he couldn't shake off Li Feng?
Little did he know, Li Feng had already mastered all his flashy dribbles from the system.
Coupled with Li Feng's improved physical fitness, it wasn't easy for Irving to fool Li Feng.
Helpless, Irving continued to sway his body, performing a dazzling array of dribbles, trying to break Li Feng's balance.
Who knew Li Feng seemed to see through him, not moving at all, just bending his knees slightly, blocking him firmly.
In desperation, Irving used a half-turn, moved to Li Feng's right, and then executed a turnaround jump shot!
It had to be said that compared to Kobe, Irving's turnaround jump shot, although not as ridiculously high, had very good timing.
Despite Li Feng's best efforts to contest, Irving's turn was too smooth and incredibly fast, and Li Feng couldn't keep up.
*Swish!*
Irving scored 1 point!
The crowd applauded enthusiastically and cheered loudly. They were truly fortunate to witness such an exquisite turnaround jump shot!
Li Feng also applauded and smiled, praising, "Irving, that shot was beautiful, amazing!"
Irving was also satisfied with his score, but he also knew very well that he had exerted all his might.
Even in his college games, he had never struggled this much.
Moreover, he had been just a little bit short of blocking Li Feng's shot, it was truly a close call!
"Thanks, your defense is also very good, worthy of being called Stone, quite tough! Let's go again!"
Irving's competitive spirit was ignited. He wanted to try a different approach to challenge Li Feng's defense.
*Swish!*
Irving broke through from the left again, simultaneously using a crossover dribble, trying to break Li Feng's balance.
But Li Feng remained like a shadow, refusing to be fooled. Irving used several of his signature moves.
If it were someone else, their ankles would have been broken by his ankle-breaking moves because young Irving's crossovers were so exaggerated.
Li Feng seemed to be on the verge of being faked out several times.
But Li Feng's second acceleration allowed him to keep up with Irving's pace.
Helpless, Irving used his second signature move, drove to the basket, and leaped into the air.
Just as Li Feng reached out to block, he suddenly bent his body and executed a super layup!
