Chapter 289: A Choice That Doesn't Matter to Your Strength

A yellow-skinned and black-eyed person suddenly appeared in the stadium, and naturally became the focus of everyone's eyes.

All the players looked at Mu Chenfeng with strange eyes, and Coach Barton also stopped reprimanding and turned around.

"Coach." Felix said politely.

"Why are you here? If I'm not mistaken, tomorrow is the day when the newcomers join the team. Coach Barton said solemnly, the anger in his eyes has not completely dissipated, probably because the player made some kind of low-level mistake, which will make the coach angry.

"I can't wait for tomorrow." As long as Mu Chenfeng stepped on the court, it was difficult for him to control his excitement, "I can report now." ”

"You'd better come back tomorrow, that's the rule." Without saying a word, Barton directly rejected Mu Chenfeng's "application".

In fact, when UCLA recruited Mu Chenfeng, Coach Barton was adamantly opposed, and he decided that the team should use this slot to recruit some more potential local players, and with the conditions given by UCLA, it is difficult for people to refuse.

The manager is the heart of the team, he knows better than anyone what the team is like and what kind of people the team needs.

Mu Chenfeng is good, he is also a national champion, and many honors have given him his own light, but he always feels that it is only a Chinese league after all, and there is no way to compare the level and intensity with basketball in the United States, even if Mu Chenfeng has stood at the peak of domestic basketball, Barton just does not recognize his strength.

Mu Chenfeng and Felix have similar characteristics, and their positions on the field are also swinging as forwards, the two compare, obviously Felix is the more suitable one, it is enough to have a Felix in the team, there is no need to find Mu Chenfeng again.

UCLA completely ignored Barton's idea and insisted on bringing a Chinese player to the NBA, so Mu Chenfeng appeared in the arena.

Appearing in the stadium does not mean that he has joined the team, he does not belong here before tomorrow, even if Mu Chenfeng successfully joins the team, the distribution of the ball, tactical arrangement, main substitution and other arrangements are still in the hands of Coach Barton, before he accepts Mu Chenfeng, he will not give Mu Chenfeng the main position and too much playing time.

Moreover, UCLA's goal is to defend the NCAA championship, so most of the lineups that have been formed will be used in training and games, not to mention Mu Chenfeng, even super newcomers like Felix can't guarantee how many opportunities to play, UCLA's squad depth is extremely luxurious, and it is very difficult to grab a spot in the hands of these people.

The team's main point guard: Rich Leo is an excellent ball handler with excellent vision and playmaking awareness, breaking the UCLA single-season assist record in his freshman year of college, and is a player who can play both offense and defense.

Shooting guard: Lee Luke's ability to break through and his mid-range shooting is accurate, making him a very reliable finisher.

Small forward: Jack Oscar is an extremely elegant small forward, like a humble gentleman on the court, but under his gentle exterior hides a killer-like cold heart, always playing a sword at critical moments to take away the suspense of the game.

Power Forward: Mares is physically strong, but the power forward's stature can rely on his physical advantages to mix well on the inside, and he is the rebounding champion of the UCLA team, and his statistics are only 1 less rebounds in the front court than in the back court.

Center: Damian Risk, who has a strong ability to protect the rim and often uses a top hat to make the opponent's offense useless, is the patron saint of the UCLA basket.

Among the starting five, Leo, the shortest, is tall, and the average height of the rest of the players is above, and the two inside lines have reached meters, which is a standard professional body, but this is not their final height, and there are many players who will continue to grow taller after entering the professional league due to problems such as systematic training.

Mu Chenfeng's height has also grown after graduating from high school, but such a height is not highlighted at all in UCLA, and he is at a disadvantage in terms of body shape.

"We're still going to train, you want to go back, come back tomorrow." Coach Barton turned his head, his tone was very cold, he couldn't accept Mu Chenfeng at all now, such an ordinary player, I really don't know if it's luck or bad luck when he arrives in the team, it's difficult to find a position that matches him, the team's tactical play is also based on the main players, and it is impossible for the coach to disrupt or abandon the mature tactical play because of his joining alone.

"Why not today?" Mu Chenfeng asked.

"It's the rule." Barton said coldly, "If you come to my team, you have to follow my rules." Barton's face turned ugly.

Barton was already holding back the fire in his belly because of the player's problems, Mu Chenfeng's attitude was obviously adding fuel to the fire, Felix hurriedly stepped forward to hold Mu Chenfeng to avoid further deterioration of the situation.

"And what if I can win them?" Mu Chenfeng pointed to the "teammates" around him and said firmly.

There was a burst of laughter in the haha arena, which was certainly not a friendly laugh, but a mockery, with a sarcastic mockery.

"Win them?" Barton sneered and said, "Do you know the NCAA?" ”

"What if you don't understand?" Mu Chenfeng said.

"Well, it's not just the five of them, it's anyone on the team, and if you can beat any of them, I'll approve you to join the team right away." Barton Road.

"Really?"

"Of course, if you lose, I'll wait until tomorrow to report on it."

"Good!" Mu Chenfeng readily agreed, and began to look for his opponent, if you want to win, of course, it is better to choose the weaker the player, UCLA except for the five starters, the rest of the bench level is not too much, if you want to join the team in advance, it is most reasonable to choose the substitute.

This is Mu Chenfeng's first game at UCLA, and he naturally wants to play against the strongest player on the team.

"I pick the Oscars!" Mu Chenfeng casually said his choice, and when he read Oscar's name, the mocking laughter became even more unscrupulous.

Who is Oscar? He is the captain of UCLA and the MVP of the NCAA Finals, and Mu Chenfeng chose him, which is obviously not wise enough.

"Are you sure you want him?" Felix hurriedly asked.

Mu Chenfeng nodded without hesitation, "Hmm." If I'm not mistaken, he's probably the strongest of them all. ”

"Are you sure you won't change it?" Oscar himself confirmed.

"Don't change." Mu Chenfeng replied.

"This Chinese kid is too self-conscious, he would choose the captain, I really want to see him beaten to the ground." The players who weren't selected to survive predicted that the Oscars would win.

"Hey." Barton stopped Oscar, and after only one word, Oscar understood the meaning and nodded slightly.

This is a tacit understanding that can only be found after playing together for 4 years, from Oscar's entry into college to graduation from his senior year this year, the two have a four-year mentor-apprentice relationship, and they only need one look at each other to convey a lot of information.

And this particular "message" can only be understood by the two of them.
