Chapter 342: On the eve of the final

Previous Chapter

The Marquette University vs Stanford University match is about to begin.

The game was significantly less focused on than UCLA and the University of North Carolina, with only half of the attendance, and one of the main reasons was the lack of stars in these two universities, and only two players were going to participate in the NBA draft, so they didn't get much attention.

But the lack of attention does not mean that these two teams are not strong enough.

Marquette University has won the NCAA championship 6 times, and the team's head coach is Lao K, who has led the team to amazing and extremely rich, and has led many NCAA teams to win championships, known as the godfather of the championship.

As for their opponents, Stanford University, a university with a small basketball culture but has produced countless scientists and leaders, so the school's ability to reach the NCAA Final Four was completely unexpected by everyone.

You have to be ready at all times, because opportunities can come your way at any time. Patton brought Muchenfeng back from Kentucky, and he defeated Larry. Bale's approach hit the door of UCLA's top pickers, but it was also true that he left the team without permission, and according to the rules of the varsity, he had to pay for it.

But Barton chose to help Mu Chenfeng conceal it, and told the school that Mu Chenfeng's visit to Kentucky was his attention, and he took all the responsibility on himself, and also submitted an "inspection" to the school for this purpose, and the matter came to an end.

Mu Chenfeng's original intention of going to Kentucky was just to fight for breath, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by Patton.

While earning back face, he also unexpectedly won the team's low position.

The next day, Mu Chenfeng appeared in the team's tactical list, although it was not in the first team composed of starting players, it was also a good start in the second team, at least in the team's rotation lineup.

In terms of rankings, Mu Chenfeng was the last person to enter the rotation, but after a "skipping training", he jumped directly into the rotation lineup, and the players were somewhat puzzled, and Barton did not give a clear explanation for this, and the players did not ask much.

The team's basic rotation lineup is about 10 people, and when Mu Chenfeng joins, someone is bound to be squeezed out of the rotation lineup, and Booker, who is on the edge of the rotation lineup, has become this poor victim.

In this regard, Booker is naturally unconvinced.

But Barton left only one sentence: You'll understand in an hour. After that, he ignored him, Booker sat on the bench in a huff, a position he was very familiar with, and he entered the rotation lineup from here, and he didn't expect to come back after a circle.

On the same day, the team arranged a confrontation between the first team and the second team, and Mu Chenfeng played an extremely important position in the second team.

As the existence of the team's rotation lineup, there is a big gap between the second team and the first team in terms of strength, and they are more likely to serve as sparring partners in the training year, helping the first team practice tactics and cooperate with the style of play.

In the past, the first team won the game with a very exaggerated score, but this time the first team only won the second team by 12 points, which is the smallest win-loss difference since the birth of the first and second teams in the UCLA.

Last time, the second team without Mu Chenfeng lost to the first team by 55 points in the game, and the whole team only scored a pitiful 33 points, and the game lost suspense from the first quarter.

This time, the second team bit the score very tightly, and it was not possible to really open the score difference until the game was about to be introduced.

It all stems from Mu Chenfeng's joining.

His presence was a threat to the first team, and his ability to help his teammates score points kept the suspense of the game going until the end.

Although the result of the game was still lost by the second team, their performance was respected by the first team.

Mu Chenfeng became the first player in UCLA history to score a "triple-double" as a member of the second team, and although it was only an inconsequential training game, his basketball talent and overall vision were vividly displayed.

Booker was convinced after witnessing Mu Chenfeng's "performance", and submitted a "leave application" to the team after the training, saying goodbye to the UCLA varsity team and the NCAA.

Mu Chenfeng's performance shocked half of the NCAA, and many teams began to pay attention to the Chinese boy.

Mu Chenfeng is cashing in his basketball talent little by little, and proving with his strength that he is worthy of the full scholarship given by UCLA.

Mu Chenfeng's performance is eye-catching, but it is still difficult to shake the position of UCLA starter for a while, and he can only play with the team as a substitute.

In fact, with Mu Chenfeng's strength, he is fully capable of wrestling with his starting teammates, but Barton did not let this happen, and pressed Mu Chenfeng honestly on the bench, the reason is very simple, the team's starting lineup has been running in for a long time, the players have formed a certain tacit understanding with each other, they are also familiar with each other, and the implementation of tactics is relatively smooth, there is only less than a week before the start of the NCAA, if the team's starting lineup is adjusted at this time, it must do more harm than good, And it was like a broken muscle, so Barton still ordered to keep the original starting lineup.

Mu Chenfeng, as a substitute.

Substitutes are also indispensable in the game, and even some substitutes play a role more than the starter, in the long river of basketball has been born many super substitutes, these players are substitute players, but can show performance beyond the starters, and even to some extent will determine the outcome of the game.

San Antonio Spurs Fame Manu. Ginobili was a good benchmark, and the Argentine star played on the bench almost his entire career, but that didn't stop him from becoming a superstar, second only to Thiem in the team at the time. Duncan's core.

Mu Chenfeng was placed on the bench, he is already very satisfied, at least he can be on the NCAA arena, for him, only by standing on the court, can he have the opportunity to create infinite possibilities.

The team's lineup and tactics have been decided, the NCAA selection tournament will start tomorrow, and the team ended training early to recuperate for tomorrow's game.

After the other team members left, Barton specially found Mu Chenfeng and made secret arrangements for him.

"Tomorrow you fight the sixth man." Barton got straight to the point and arranged it directly for Mu Chenfeng.

The sixth person? Mu Chenfeng was stunned when he heard this, the position of the sixth man is second only to the starting position in the team, and he is the first player to be replaced when the team is in the regular personnel rotation, and he is the starter in the substitute.

Mu Chenfeng only knew that he was going to play tomorrow, and he didn't guess that he would be the sixth man.

"Questions?" Seeing Mu Chenfeng's hesitation, Barton asked.

"No, no problem." Mu Chenfeng hurriedly shook his head in response, and a fool would refuse.

"Then it's decided, when you go back in the evening, you will be familiar with the tactical style of play and the characteristics of the players, I hope you can play immediately tomorrow, instead of needing time to adjust." Barton's requirements are extremely demanding, and he wants Mu Chenfeng to become an instant combat force, plug and play.

"I've been familiar with tactics for a long time." Mu Chenfeng said confidently, Mu Chenfeng didn't do nothing in the past few days sitting on the bench, he remembered the characteristics and habits of each teammate, and repeated those rehearsed tactics in his mind many times, there is no need to be familiar with it anymore, he has studied all the tactics to the point of mastery.

"Tomorrow's game, come on." Barton suddenly became gentle, gentle, like never before, "Your first NCAA game. ”

"Huh?" Mu Chenfeng was surprised by Barton's change, and was stunned for a moment before replying, "Yes!" ”

"I used to have some misunderstandings about Chinese players, all because I didn't witness you playing, you changed me and changed my view of Chinese basketball, thank you." Barton looked up at the calm basket, "Go ahead, let the whole of America see Chinese basketball, the real thing." ”
