The God-level Steal in Sports Chapter 008

Elder Sun couldn’t help but pat Zhou Feng on the shoulder.

“You are a young man who creates miracles!”

“A talent like you, there’s only one in the whole world!”

“You remind me of a character from wuxia novels, Yang Guo, but you are even more of a genius than him!”

…

Elder Sun truly didn’t know what to say about the high school student before him. When Zhou Feng first stepped onto the court, he looked like a complete novice. His footwork, movements, psychological素质, and everything else were subpar. It seemed like he would just show his face on the court and then be replaced. But he never expected the subsequent performance, which left him greatly astonished—no, it should be said, shocked.

Such basketball skills were not just beyond high school students; even professional basketball players didn’t possess them, except for a few top-tier players.

Elder Sun now couldn’t believe that a high school student had the skill level of a world-class basketball player. Perhaps Zhou Feng was even more formidable.

Because when he used to play internationally, facing world-class basketball players, Elder Sun wouldn’t shy away and would dare to compete. But facing Zhou Feng, he felt as if the other party was like a boundless ocean, unfathomable, completely unable to discern his true level.

“Young man, how about joining the national team with me?”

Elder Sun asked with an excited expression. He was thrilled to have discovered such a rare talent for the country. Who said that China, with its 1.2 billion people, couldn’t find a basketball player? This one right in front of him certainly could become a world-class basketball player.

“The national team!”

Zhou Feng looked astonished. He hadn’t expected to enter the national team just from this one assessment.

This was the highest level of competitive stage in a country. Only by passing through here could one go global. This could be said to be the ultimate dream of all athletes. Some athletes worked their entire lives and could only become provincial-level athletes, yet he had achieved it so easily.

Coach Zhang, who had been smiling and accompanying them, suddenly changed his expression. How could this be? Elder Sun had never mentioned that he was here to select team members; he only said he wanted to see the basketball level of high school students.

“Elder Sun, the provincial team is still lacking excellent basketball players. Let him train in the provincial team for a while first!”

Coach Zhang’s tone was neither obsequious nor arrogant. If Elder Sun poached such a good talent, it would be a huge loss for the provincial team. He had thought Elder Sun was just here to casually observe the basketball level. If he had known he was here to recruit, Coach Zhang wouldn’t have accompanied Elder Sun so enthusiastically.

“Little Zhang, don’t worry. Zhou Feng’s basketball skills are stronger than those of ordinary national-level basketball players. It’s not suitable for him to stay in the provincial team anymore!”

“It’s a bit of an overkill!”

Zhou Feng naturally knew that the national team and the provincial team were not on the same level at all. The provincial team was several grades lower than the national team in terms of coaching staff, funding, and even training environment. Moreover, the national team was an unparalleled honor, a goal many people strived for.

“Zhou Feng is still young. He will definitely go to the national team!”

Coach Zhang was determined to get Zhou Feng, because this was the most outstanding player he had ever seen.

If Zhou Feng were to represent the provincial team, he would surely win many honors, which would also be a stepping stone for his own promotion.

Even if it meant slightly offending Elder Sun for this matter, he would spare no effort to secure him.

After all, if he let go of a talent like Zhou Feng, he didn’t know when he would encounter another.

“Joining the provincial team is not good for Zhou Feng’s future development!”

Elder Sun’s tone also became serious. He was also determined to get Zhou Feng; such a talent, once lost, would be hard to find again.

…

“Wow!”

The surrounding students couldn’t help but look at each other.

Zhou Feng actually caused the national team and the provincial team to argue over him. This was huge news; nothing like this had happened since the school was founded.

“This… Zhou Feng is too awesome!”

“Fengzi is truly a genius!”

Skinny Monkey’s head was spinning. Before, Fengzi’s skills were just below average. How could he be like this today? Did he take drugs?

“I have nothing to say!”

…

The surrounding students began to discuss, and everyone unanimously chose the national team. Only a fool would not choose the national team. What was the goal of entering the provincial team? Wasn’t it to enter the national team? Now that he could reach the top in one step, who would be foolish enough to take a detour?

Coach Zhang’s expression grew even uglier as he listened to the students’ discussions. He absolutely could not give up on a talent like Zhou Feng.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the entire province.

With Zhou Feng’s current skills, he could easily enter the national team, which made Coach Zhang even more reluctant to let go.

Zhou Feng rolled his eyes. He hadn’t even decided where to go yet, but the two of them were arguing heatedly. Their expressions looked as if they were about to roll up their sleeves and fight.

They glared at each other, neither willing to back down.

“How about this, let’s hear what Zhou Feng thinks!”

Elder Sun clapped his hands decisively and said.

“Alright, let’s listen to Zhou Feng!”
