Chapter 296: Giant Showdown

Mu Chenfeng would go to the innermost court every night to train alone, rain or shine.

In order to create a quiet training environment for himself, he chose to go every night at 22:00, that is, after the stadium was cleared, because the lights were all out, but at least it was quiet, and no one would disturb him.

On this day, I came to the stadium as usual without eating, the empty stadium was empty, although the light was a little darker, but Mu Chenfeng had long been used to it.

Although there was a game against the University of Kentucky the next day, Mu Chenfeng was still very self-aware, this game would not have anything to do with him, he was at best a spectator sitting on the bench, nothing more, so he didn't have to worry about his physical fitness at all, he could train here until late.

Usually Mu Chenfeng's evening training lasts about an hour, but today I don't know what stimulation I was under, I actually trained for half an hour longer than usual, and it was not until 23:30 that I finished the training and returned to the classroom.

On the way back, he vaguely felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark, but when he turned back, it was only pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

Is it a delusion? Mu Chenfeng thought, no one will be bored enough to "monitor" himself on this big night, it is not the first day he has had this feeling, but this feeling is intermittent and elusive.

Mu Chenfeng, who returned to the dormitory, took a pleasant cold shower, rinsed off the stinky sweat all over his body, and the WeChat message sent by Su Mengyao flashed on the mobile phone screen, with only one simple two words: good night.

Two words made Mu Chenfeng happy for a while, edited a large paragraph of text and sent it out, and then put away the phone.

The next morning, the phone rang on time at six o'clock, it was Su Mengyao's reply, because she was afraid of disturbing Mu Chenfeng's rest, so she replied a little late, and she was only six o'clock when Mu Chenfeng should get up.

The two seem to be at two extremes of the earth, one is dark and the other is day, one says good night to each other during the day, and the other says good morning to each other in the evening.

Although separated by a whole Pacific Ocean, the hearts of the two are getting closer and closer.

Mu Chenfeng didn't tell Su Mengyao about the game today, and he wanted to tell her after he actually appeared on the stage, but there was no clear schedule for this day, and it could be very close or far away.

Mu Chenfeng came to the stadium early, today's UCLA is a home game, so the players can come to the venue in advance for warm-up training, which is a very favorable condition for the home team, so that they can be in the fullest state to face the opponents from afar.

The teams that start their NCAA games have to struggle with the exhausting journey in addition to their opponents, and because the NCAA schools are far apart, the visitors need to take a long bus ride to get to the arena, which puts the visitors at a physical and energetic disadvantage before the game starts.

But despite the exhaustion, the NCAA team likes to play away, on the one hand, it can save the use of the team's arena, protect the stadium, and on the other hand, it is a way to train the team, and still win the game in bad conditions, and the passive way of playing can help the players get better improvement.

UCLA arrived two hours early, and the University of Kentucky also arrived an hour and a half early, and when they arrived, UCLA training had already begun for some time.

Seeing the Kentucky players enter the arena, Barton greeted him with a smile and shook hands with the opposing coach, but it was obvious that the two of them had their own thoughts, and they looked very friendly on the surface, but secretly they were already more energetic.

In the NCAA, there is no such thing as friendship between teams, they are opponents, and this has been predestined since the founding of the school.

Especially think about UCLA, Kentucky, Duke and other basketball schools, they are all NCAA signs, they fight hard when recruiting players, and when they really stand on the court, they don't give in to each other.

From the moment you step on the field, no matter how good your friends are, as long as they are wearing different team uniforms, as long as they are standing on the opposite side, they are the enemies you must defeat.

Either defeat the other or be defeated by the other party.

"Will he play today?" The Kentucky coach asked with a smile.

"Who?" Barton asked, puzzled.

"The Chinese player." The other party pointed to Mu Chenfeng who was sitting on the bench, "I have to thank him, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gotten Larry. Bell, you don't know how powerful that guy's body is. The other party's words were clearly mocking, Larry. Bale's ability is known throughout the United States, he is the MVP of the McDonald's Star Game in the United States, his position on the court is a power forward, his physical fitness is quite strong, and he has completed the actual combat to level the basket.

UCLA and Larry. Bell seems to be a natural pair to the outside world, his ability is a perfect fit for UCLA, and UCLA is also interested in getting this talented player from the South Coast of the United States, but just when everyone thought that Larry was going to wear UCLA's jersey to compete in the NCAA, UCLA's management actually used the last full scholarship spot to sign Mu Chenfeng, who was far away in the world, and failed to put Larry. Bell took it to Los Angeles.

This choice made Larry. Bell held a grudge against UCLA and threatened before the game to make the entire UCLA regret his decision to reject him.

Larry now. Bell has become Kentucky's starting power forward, and although he is only a freshman, he has enough trust from his coach

Larry. The combination of Bell and Gatlin gave Kentucky great hopes for the upcoming NCAA tournament, and they also managed to squeeze out Duke and tie UCLA for the top spot in the odds list.

As the favorites to win the NCAA, both teams have made ample preparations for this game, and although it is only a warm-up game, it still attracts a lot of reporters to follow and report, and some NBA team scouts want to evaluate their favorite players through their performance.

The players and coaching staff have long been accustomed to this, and they will not miss any opportunity to improve the draft rankings.

In the U.S., players are very important about rankings, just as Chinese parents only care about scores.

NBA rookie contracts are directly tied to draft rankings, and the higher the ranking, the larger the amount of contracts, which is quite a lot for players who are just starting out in the professional game.

Especially the champion of the draft, the contract obtained is several times that of other positions, and Oscar and Gatlin are reasonable contenders for the top spot, so the two are destined to fight when they meet.

"Don't let me down." Gatlin started his psychological offensive against Oscar from the beginning.

Oscar calmly responded, "Each other, each other." ”

Gatlin (small forward) has many excellent teammates such as Bale (power forward), Smith (center), Johnson (shooting guard), and Moore (point guard).

Oscar's teammates are not bad, Leo, Felix, Marek, Damian.

The NCAA Finals preview is on the verge of breaking out.
