Chapter 106 The Godfather of Chicken Soup

More than ten days of preseason, a total of seven or eight games, an average of two or three days.

In the past, when Qin Fei was in college, only the final tournament would have such intensity.

The assistant coach Bob told him that this is just the normal state of professional players. There are 82 games in a season, five and a half months, excluding the All-Star Weekend, the schedule is very dense, and sometimes they will play back to back.

What is back to back?

Rushing to another city to play the second away game within 24 hours is back-to-back.

In basketball games, physical strength is an important factor in the game. Even if it is a top team, once it falls into a physical crisis, it will appear weak and other states. Therefore, upsets in the regular season can only be said to be normal. There are many factors, so don't be too surprised.

In this year's preseason, the main players slowly regained their form, averaging about 10 minutes per game.

Qin Fei only played for more than 20 minutes because he fell into garbage time in the first game. In the next few games, each game lasted about 6 to [-] minutes.

With this kind of playing time, his physical reserves are completely sufficient.

No one noticed that when Qin Fei returned to the backcourt, he gradually became Payton's first substitute, playing alongside Snow.

The current playing time of the backcourt should be like this: Payton is greater than Hawkins, greater than Snow, greater than Qin Fei, greater than other defenders

At the end of the preseason, Qin Fei's ability value has increased to 68, which is a lot better than when he participated in the draft.

The NBA's 1996-97 season is about to start, and the official publicity is overwhelming.

In this era, there are too many stars, and there is a large fan base if you pull them out casually.

Among the top 50 superstars in NBA history selected this year, James Worthy, who retired in 94, followed by Drexler, Barkley, Olajuwon, etc., are still active in the league.

The best thing is that Shaquille O'Neal, who has just passed his rookie period, was actually selected into the top [-] superstars.

Overwhelmed Reggie Miller, Wilkins, including Gary Payton and others.

This has aroused widespread heated discussion, what can this shark do?

At this time in Seattle, as the regular season approached, the media began to make predictions and player evaluations for the new season, and one of them was a report about Qin Fei.

With Barry not signed, Qin Fei became the only rookie of the Sonics this season, and he was also a rookie with the [-]th overall pick in the first round.

秦飞在季前赛场均16.8分钟的出场时间里可以贡献6.9分1.7个篮板和0.7次抢断，投篮命中率高达百分之53.5。

The most talked about is Qin Fei's achievement of "first blood" in the first game.

The toughness he displayed on the court doesn't look like a rookie.

Of course, the first batch of fans of Qin Fei also appeared. They are some Chinese who work and live in Seattle. They leave messages on the newly popular online forums, hoping to see Qin Fei perform better.

Qin Fei thought that when he entered the NBA, he would meet a lot of parties organized by big shots, but he found that there were no parties after playing for more than half a month.

And the end of October is the annual lively Halloween. At this time, Qin Fei participated in the first group activity of the Supersonics outside of the stadium.

This reserved program is held every year, the purpose is to enhance the connection with the fans, and then have the effect of promoting the team.

On the night of Halloween, the bus took Qin Fei and others to a community.

Qin Fei wanted to laugh when he saw Snow's "Mr. Pumpkin" attire.

"Don't laugh, your Kamen Rider isn't much better, okay? Knights are all very slender. How can there be such a strong knight?"

Snow haha ​​took off Qin Fei's mask.

Then I found that under Qin Fei's mask, there was actually a grimace painted on it. The bloody mouth opened behind the ear, which looked very scary.

"Fack! Scared the kids to death"

"Can you show some face, are you still a child? Stop making trouble"

This local community in Seattle is holding a Halloween party, and children in costumes gather around a long table to make greeting cards.

There are all kinds of pumpkin lanterns on the table, shining faintly.

There was light rain outside, and the children in the community where Qin Fei and Snow arrived were a little nervous. They heard that the star of the Seattle Supersonics was coming.

The person in charge of the community led the two of them into the house, and then the two took off their hoods.

"Children!"

Snow was very happy to see the children, and ran over on his own initiative, surrounded by them enthusiastically.

And Qin Fei played the role of an aloof knight. Standing there, he was particularly tall and burly in the eyes of the children, and he was amazed again and again.

"Branton, this is your favorite Supersonic player, why don't you go up and ask them to sign?"

In the community, the person in charge came to a tall and thin child. The child was a little silent and quiet, but when Qin Fei and Snow came in, his eyes were always on the two of them and never left.

"Be bold, Brandon, you're a man!"

Encouraged by the person in charge, the boy approached the "cold" Qin Fei.

When he was plucking up the courage to speak, the "cold" knight suddenly squatted down and took off his mask: "Surprised?"

Hahaha

The kid was more courageous than he had imagined. He was just a little shy to communicate with strangers. After Qin Fei squatted down and was at the "same height" with him, he let go immediately.

Brandon was very polite and showed a good family education. He bravely asked, "Are you Qin?"

Isn't it, you can recognize it when it turns into this?

Qin Fei was surprised and pleasantly surprised. He didn't expect this kid to be a die-hard fan, and he actually knew him, a rookie player who just joined the team?

He looked at the child carefully, and found that he was much taller than his peers, with big eyes and yellowish skin. Why did he look a little familiar? Where did he see him?

"I'm Qin Fei, who are you?"

Qin Fei stretched out his hand to hug the child, and asked with a smile.

The kid didn't expect Qin Fei to be so enthusiastic. It was the first time he was embraced by an NBA player. The embrace was really warm.

He blushed and replied, "My name is Brandon Roy."

Roy?

Qin Fei blinked, what a good name!

"How do you know I'm Qin Fei?"

"I'm a fan of the Sonics, especially the Sonics. I watched your game live, the one with the Portland Trail Blazers."

The 12-year-old Roy said seriously, and then showed the Sonics team logo painted on his arm, proving that he is a die-hard Sonics fan.

Qin Fei really didn't have a bad taste, he just followed Roy's words and asked casually: "Is it the scene where I bleed?"

"Yeah, I don't like the Blazers so much, they hurt you in dirty ways"

Qin Fei had a strange feeling in his heart. The 12-year-old Roy told himself that he didn't like the Blazers because the Blazers hurt him

The world is probably so strange. This kid Roy is the same as the kid in Washington, and he hits off with Qin Fei very well. The two chatted for a long time, and then Qin Fei picked up Roy, and the two of them made faces together to scare other kids.

Hahahaha

Roy will never forget that day, NBA player Qin Fei took him through the most memorable Halloween.

When he left, Snow was still very strange.

"Why are you having so much fun with the kids?"

"This is normal. I have always had a relationship with children."

When the two walked to the car, Roy ran over panting, holding a Sonics jersey in his hand, and looked at Qin Fei expectantly.

"Hey, Brandon."

Qin Fei squatted down and opened his arms: "Do you want me to sign?"

"Yes, I joined the school team, and I also want to be an NBA player." Roy said a little unconfidently. He was just an ordinary player on the school team, and the distance from the NBA seemed to be far away.

Qin Fei took the Supersonics jersey and marker, smiled and touched Roy's head.

He wrote on his jersey:

Starlight shines on the road ahead, and the times live up to passers-by.

Dedicated to the struggling future NBA star Brandon Roy.

Signed Qin Fei

Roy held the jersey tightly in his hands, as if he had received the best holiday gift he had ever grown up, excited.

Confidence built up in my heart, Brother Qin Fei said that I can do it, yes, I can do it
