Lin Feng was muttering when the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.
In 2006, flip-top Motorola cell phones were very popular.
Lin Feng used a Motorola V3, which was a common phone in that era.
Just like Apple cell phones many years later, almost everyone had one.
Lin Feng looked at the caller ID and saw that it was a girl named Su Muqing.
According to the memories of his predecessor, Lin Feng learned that Su Muqing was his girlfriend.
The two met at the University of Southern California. Lin Feng was at the renowned basketball program in the NCAA, while Su Muqing was enrolled in the Department of Journalism and Media at USC.
The spark of love between Lin Feng and Su Muqing ignited when Lin Feng was playing a game and Su Muqing covered it as a reporter.
Since they were from the same country and often interacted, they slowly developed into a couple.
Deep in his memory, they had only established a romantic relationship and had not taken a more intimate step.
In other words, Su Muqing had not yet been "eaten" by Lin Feng's predecessor.
Like Lin Feng, Su Muqing is Chinese American, and her parents own a business in the United States.
To be more specific, Su Muqing is biracial; her father is Chinese, and her mother is American.
This gives Su Muqing a striking feminine charm. At USC, she had many admirers from all over the world.
She has a perfect, sexy figure and delicate, deep facial features.
Being half Chinese and half American, she is quite tall, about 178 cm. Standing with Lin Feng in high heels, they could be described as a perfect match!
Last night, during the game against the Fort Worth Flyers, Su Muqing was unable to attend and cheer for Lin Feng due to an urgent matter.
When she woke up this morning, she saw the morning news, after all, she is a journalism major at USC.
She easily understands everything that happens in the sports world.
After reading the news, she was utterly shocked.
Because she knows very well what kind of player Lin Feng used to be.
Frankly speaking, in the basketball mecca of the United States, Chinese players like Lin Feng are far from being top-tier.
But last night, Lin Feng played like a basketball god, delivering a phenomenal performance.
He and Kobe made the front page of the Los Angeles Sports Morning News and instantly became quite popular in Los Angeles!
"Baby, I didn't expect you to play so well last night. I'm so upset I had something urgent to do and couldn't be there to watch you play."
Su Muqing's crisp voice came through the receiver.
"But I watched the replay! Your performance was truly wonderful! Oh my God, baby! You actually dunked over Devin Brown!"
Her tone was excited. Lin Feng's phenomenal performance naturally made his prospective girlfriend very happy.
"Baby, where are you? I want to come see you and bring you a loving breakfast. I love you so much right now!"
Although Su Muqing is half Chinese, she grew up in the United States.
Therefore, she doesn't have the reserved nature often associated with Chinese girls.
Her personality is more like that of European and American women. Her daily behavior is quite bold and avant-garde.
Lin Feng smiled slightly and replied, "Muqing, I'm at home. Come on over."
"Okay, baby, just a moment. I'll be right there."
After hanging up, Lin Feng thought to himself that it was time to showcase his style.
Now that he was channeling Sakuragi Hanamichi, he needed to emulate Sakuragi's appearance, personality, and performance.
The first order of business was to dye his hair red.
After that, he put three band-aids on his face and bought a set of No. 10 jerseys that Sakuragi Hanamichi often wore.
In the future, he would fully embody Sakuragi Hanamichi's character and continue to enhance the resemblance, all so he could become even more awesome in his skills and personal strength!
Not long after, the doorbell rang. Lin Feng opened the door and saw his girlfriend Su Muqing standing outside.
She was as beautiful as ever, tall, and with a plump, sexy figure. Her skin was fair, delicate, and smooth, and her sapphire blue eyes were as bright as the gemstone.
Her hair was Asian black, her facial features were deep, and her nose was high. She was a truly stunning girl.
"Baby, look what I brought you—your favorite Chinese food!"
Su Muqing, comfortable and familiar, pushed the door open and entered Lin Feng's rented house.
She had gone to Chinatown and prepared delicious Chinese food for Lin Feng.
She knew that Lin Feng loved Chinese food. Even though he had come to the United States when he was six or seven years old, he still couldn't get used to hamburgers and hot dogs.
Eating those things every day upset his stomach.
"Mu Qing, thank you," Lin Feng said habitually.
Su Mu Qing stood on tiptoe, kissed Lin Feng on the cheek, and said with a smile, "Baby, this is your reward. If you keep playing at this competitive level, I firmly believe you can make it to the NBA from the Development League!"
Lin Feng nodded slightly. "Yes, Mu Qing, I also firmly believe I can. I hope to join the Los Angeles Lakers."
"Baby, I know you're the best. I don't know if you saw the morning news. You and Kobe made the front-page headlines together. When you join the Los Angeles Lakers in the future, Kobe will look at you with new eyes."
It must be said that Su Mu Qing is a very encouraging girlfriend. Since she met Lin Feng, she had said these words countless times.
It's just that now, he wasn't her boyfriend in the strict sense.
The body was the same, but the soul had become another Lin Feng.
"Muqing, I'm going to dye my hair. Come with me."
Lin Feng suddenly said, "By the way, buy me a few packs of Band-Aids and Venom Air Force One basketball shoes!"
This basic equipment was all Sakuragi Hanamichi's favorites. He would use them all to become infinitely close to Sakuragi Hanamichi's original character.
There was one thing that made Lin Feng laugh and cry. The girl that Sakuragi Hanamichi had a crush on was Akagi Haruko.
And he had traveled to Los Angeles in 2006, and his girlfriend was Su Muqing.
The names of the two girls were very similar. He wondered if this was destined.
Had God arranged for him to play Sakuragi Hanamichi?
Su Muqing looked at Lin Feng curiously and asked, "Baby, why did you suddenly think of dyeing your hair? And you also want to buy Band-Aids and Venom Air Force One basketball shoes?"
"Yes," Lin Feng nodded again.
"Then what color are you going to dye your hair, baby?"
"Dye it red and cut it into a spirited buzz cut!"
Su Muqing was stunned. She had seen the cartoon Slam Dunk, and her favorite character was Sakuragi Hanamichi!
Hearing this, she couldn't help but cheer, "Wow, baby, you're going to cut your hair like that and dye it red? Isn't that Sakuragi Hanamichi? Are you going to put Band-Aids on your face? Venom Air Force One, Sakuragi Hanamichi's favorite basketball shoes?"
"You're very smart. That's exactly what I planned," Lin Feng smiled. "Mu Qing, in the future you'll face a familiar yet unfamiliar me. I am Sakuragi Hanamichi, and Sakuragi Hanamichi is me!"
