Chapter 168: The Heart of the Strong

Self-discipline is a must for every star.

There must be a little-known reason why a star is above the average player.

The secret of Barrett's success is self-discipline, and he is strict with himself from life to competition, which keeps him in excellent form at all times.

Virgo he not only has and Kobe. A constellation like Bryant also has the same (xìng) grid, which is extreme to the extreme.

Teddy. Roosevelt once said: With self-discipline, there is nothing (qíng) that cannot be done.

Barrett's life is unbelievably monotonous, and doesn't it make one wonder if this is the life of a 25-year-old? Only those over the age of 60 "deserve" to have such a life.

However, Barrett's self-discipline began when he was 15 years old.

At that time, he developed the habit of waking up at 4 a.m. (chuáng) every morning and then spending the rest of his time on the basketball court except for studying.

That's a whole decade.

He liked Kobe Bryant and had the same shēn tattoo on his right arm, but he knew it was just a façade and anyone could imitate him, but who could reach his heights?

As a large number of NBA totemic stars left the court and left the public's field of vision, people suddenly discovered that the NBA had long been a matter of fact.

At the same time, with the continuous improvement and rise of the CBA and the European League, the position of the NBA's largest basketball league in the world is in jeopardy, like a stump swaying in the wind, which may collapse at any time due to the slightest wind and grass.

To this end, the NBA launched the "Star Making Program", overturned the "(jìn) stop high school draft" draft, and opened the entrance to the league to more talents, the plan was very successful, and the abundant fresh blood filled the entire league like a blowout, so that the league can regain its vitality and slowly begin to return to its peak prosperity.

But while the NBA management was still intoxicated with the huge benefits brought by countless endowments, the side effects of the seedlings suddenly broke out.

Because these players have not been trained in college and their consciousness has not yet grown soundly, these players have no way to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA, resulting in a decline in the quality of the league instead of improving

Subsequently, the NBA launched the "Star Hunting Program" to measure the true level of players, which was used to screen high-quality players, and the league would rather be burdened with huge breaches of contracts than purify the league environment.

The effect was immediate, with only 24 of the 108 high school students eliminated in the end, and the rest were sent to college by the league.

Barrett is one of the 24 survivors of the "Star Hunting Project".

His stay was expected by the league, Barrett was a combination of skill and intelligence, and the team intended to build him into a second Magician, but he was biased towards offense, and he wanted to be Kobe Bryant or even surpass him.

"Welcome to the United Center." (shēn) as the host, Barrett naturally wanted to welcome on behalf of the team, and he fully qualified to do so.

Barrett's eyes wander between the campers, observing each of them, and his observation is characterized by looking at the players first and then at the rankings, wanting to see how much the performance of these players deviates from what he expected.

Having been in the league for 7 years, Barrett has seen all kinds of players, up to about 40 old guns, down to in and out of the United Mei Xian (ròu), and he has long since developed a pair of fiery eyes, and he can discern his strength with a pair of eyes alone.

Some sweep by, others stop and look at it for a few seconds.

Mu Chenfeng is the one who swept away.

"What is he doing?" In the same way, Henry swept away, and his gaze did not linger on him (shēn) for a second longer.

"Probably watching us."

"It makes me so nervous, I want to pee."

"It's not productive."

The scene was very tense for a while, Barrett was like an old lady who went to the vegetable market to buy materials, and when she saw what she liked, she looked twice, and she didn't bother to look at what she didn't like.

Now I finally know what it means to be strong with your own aura.

After looking around, Barrett didn't find any surprises, no different from the young players he usually meets, the only difference may be that this group of players looks weaker.

"Coach, are you sure you want to get them in training?" Barrett asked, after a moment's thought.

George pursed his lips and smiled, "Of course." ”

"I don't think they're capable of training today." Barrett's answer was snarky and loud.

Everyone began to discuss, "What does he mean, football stars can look down on people, right?" ”

"It's just that we're all elites, and we don't look down on people."

Although it was not known whose it was, the words successfully entered Barrett's ears.

"Whose is it?" Barrett asked solemnly, and for a moment there was silence, and Barrett slowly walked towards the team.

There were 60 campers on the other side, and it was not easy to find someone to talk to, but Barrett was able to do it, and he plunged into the crowd and stopped in front of Fei Jiao.

Fike's legs were shaking violently at this time, and the more he controlled it, the more he trembled.

Barrett leaned into Fick's ear and said, "I hope you can make it to the end, Elite." ”

Fick was so frightened that he almost peed his pants, he didn't know how Barrett found out, he was obviously in good disguise.

"It was the man next to you who betrayed you." Barrett said slowly, and at this moment, there was only fear in the eyes of the players next to Fik.

"I wonder who the strongest of you is?" Barrett asked suddenly.

This is a proposition.

"He, what do you mean?" Henry asked the person next to him.

"What do you mean?"

The strongest person is indeed not related to Henry, and there are at least Top10, Felix, Enzo and Mu Chenfeng in front of him.

Henry finally felt the friendly perk of being an underdog.

Everyone looked at each other, not daring to admit it.

Even the members of the Top 10 fell silent.

"Why don't they stand up, aren't they rampant in the training camp?" The performance of the TOP10 is like two people, and the unbeatable shelf has been unloaded cleanly.

In front of the real powerhouse, those so-called powerhouses are indeed much more low-key.

Who dares to admit that they are powerful in front of people who know that they are better than themselves, that is not looking for death.

But coding doesn't lie, and No. 1 Rum is undoubtedly the pinnacle of strength in this team.

But this man is nothing more than that in Barrett's eyes.

Looking at Rum's eyes at Barrett again, in addition to worship, there was also a hint of awe.

Barrett shook his head, "You don't even have the courage to admit that you are strong, how can you become strong." ”

Barrett continued, "If you want to be strong, you have to imagine yourself as strong, that's the most basic premise. ”

These two sentences are like two sharp blades, carved into an eternal carving in Mu Chenfeng's heart one by one.

No one dared to respond, which made Zach. George was disappointed, he thought that there would be many players who would stand up and admit that they were strong, even if some of them were not outstanding, but at least they had a strong heart.

The fantasy is very full, and the reality is very heart-wrenching.

"You're not modest, you're cowardly." Barrett shook his head helplessly, "I hope that after that, you will continue to play." ”

Barrett is different from James, he is more difficult to get along with, his way is more difficult to accept, but he has no malice, he always uses this almost nothing (qíng) way to motivate his teammates and help them get stronger.

George, who witnessed the change from elation to despair, walked over to Barrett and said, "Are you going a little too far, I asked you to motivate them, not to beat them?" ”

It turned out that all of this was also within George's arrangement.

"No, I don't think it's good enough." At the end, Barrett spun (shēn) and rushed to the campers, ready to continue his impassioned speech.

George panicked, "Don't mess around with me." ”

It was too late, and Barrett's words were like a bullet, (shè) towards the crowd.

"If you think of basketball as good, you can not care about winning, not about scoring, not about everything about basketball, but if you think of him as a guy who eats for himself, in your current state, just wait to starve to death."

Not everyone who plays basketball will go professionally, but if you want to play professionally, you must be completely mentally prepared because there is no difference between the professional arena and the battlefield.

"I hope that through today's training, you can really know why you play." Barrett gave a final summary of the presentation.

As soon as the words fell, Mu Chenfeng stood up from the team, "Don't wait until the end of the training, I'll tell you now, I'm going to play professionally." ”

Barrett didn't see adoration and fear in Mu Chenfeng's eyes, those eyes were full of fire (rè) and hope.

"You're number 13?" Obviously, this ranking is not really the strongest in the training camp, and there are at least 12 people ahead of him.

But the 12 people didn't come forward.

"Yes." Mu Chenfeng did not waver, nor did he regret it.

Being able to "confront" one of the best players in the world face-to-face is not lagging behind, Mu Chenfeng has shown maturity and stability far beyond his peers.

"That Chinese kid is crazy, it's ridiculous to admit that he is the strongest." Tyrone let out a contemptuous laugh.

Rum, who was standing next to him, blushed and was hot, he should have been the best choice to stand up, but his legs were so heavy that he couldn't move.

"No. 1", he still doesn't have the courage to stand up.

Rum was only 17 years old after all.

"Good job, Mu Chenfeng." Henry coaxed on the side, loud and loud, in order to give each of the Top 10 a loud "slap in the face".

Henry did it, and beat the Top 10 one by one.

"You are Mu Chenfeng?" Barrett never imagined that he would be so interested in a yellow-skinned Chinese.

"What, you know me?" Mu Chenfeng said coldly.

"James told me about you." Barrett and James are only very good friends in private, and he is more like a big brother who takes care of James.

Mu Chenfeng was not interested in what James said about himself.

"Don't you want to know who's the strongest here?" Mu Chenfeng said confidently, "It's me, Mu Chenfeng." ”
