Chapter 287: Before leaving
In June, in the stadium of No. 3 Middle School, Mu Chenfeng faced the "Wall of Honor" and fell into deep contemplation.
"So you're here." Su Mengyao came to Mu Chenfeng and gently patted him on the shoulder with one hand.
Mu Chenfeng didn't look back, but he already knew who the other party was, and there was a bit of melancholy in his eyes.
"What do you think?" Su Mengyao looked at the full glory hanging on the wall, including two winter championships, one autumn championship, one national championship, one super league championship and many competition honors, all of which are closely related to Mu Chenfeng.
Now in his third year of high school, he just finished saying goodbye to his classmates yesterday, he received a college invitation letter from UCLA, and he is about to leave for the United States of his dreams.
For Mu Chenfeng, his high school career has been perfect enough, he has achieved unprecedented Grand Slam honors, and he is also the MVP of the tournament after receiving five championships, and now Mu Chenfeng is the hottest player in the country, and just when everyone is discussing his future, he chose to go to the United States.
"Hey." Mu Chenfeng sighed softly, those honors are not enough to represent his entire high school career, and at the same time, he is also the high school league scoring record holder, assist king, triple-double king, etc.
The record of five championships and three runners-up made him the first person in the history of the high school league, successfully surpassing Zhang Jianing, Qiu Fei, Zhan Yang and other players, and took the lead.
What makes Mu Chenfeng interested is not the five-time champion, but the three runners-up, the autumn game of the second year of high school, the national competition of the second year of high school, and the winter game of the third year of high school, and among these three defeats, the winter game of the third year of high school is what he cares about the most, because it was his last game, and it was this defeat that caused the third middle school to suffer a serious blow, Ye Lin's withdrawal and Chen Xin's injury, so that the third middle school finally ranked third from the bottom of the league and failed to get the ticket to the national competition.
"When is the plane?" Su Mengyao asked in a low voice.
"The plane the day after tomorrow." Mu Chenfeng said softly.
"Oh." Su Mengyao looked lost, holding the pickup in her hand, it also seemed to sense that Mu Chenfeng was about to leave, she was not in a good mood, and she was very unenergetic with her head drooping.
Mu Chenfeng stared at Su Mengyao and the pickup affectionately, stretched out his hand and gently touched the little guy's head, "The pickup will be handed over to you to take care of." ”
"Will you ever come back?" Su Mengyao asked Mu Chenfeng in one sentence, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
He couldn't give Su Mengyao a clear answer, and he didn't even know if he would come back.
Seeing that Mu Chenfeng hesitated, Su Mengyao already had an answer in her heart, and gently stroked the head of the little pickup with her hand.
"You're going to make it." Su Mengyao said firmly, although the tears in her eyes were already swirling.
According to Mu Chenfeng's plan, he originally wanted to participate in the NBA draft directly after graduating from high school, because of his performance in the high school league, he continued to rise in the NBA's draft rankings, and once ranked in the top 30 of the draft list of the same year, it is hard to imagine that a yellow-skinned player can beat many black players so high, the top 30 thought that he would be selected in the first round, but could not enter the lotto area.
Entering the NCAA for a year of training and then participating in the NBA draft, this is Fang Tianzheng's advice to him, with his current ranking, even if he enters the NBA, he will not be taken seriously, instead of sitting on the bench in the league, it is better to experience in the college league, improve himself in the battle with American players, and then enter the NBA, which will help him better adapt to the rhythm of the NBA.
At first, Mu Chenfeng did not agree with this idea, he felt that he was ready to participate in the NBA, but when he saw the real situation of the players ranked in his ranks, Mu Chenfeng chose to compromise.
Entering the NCAA is not a bad thing, and many NBA players will play in the NCAA for a year before entering the league, as a transition from high school to the league, it has been proven that players who have been trained in college league can adapt to the rhythm of the league better than players who enter the league directly from high school.
Moreover, among the five universities that threw an olive branch to Mu Chenfeng was UCLA, a university from Los Angeles.
For many players, the recruitment of prestigious schools is a recognition of strength, especially famous schools like UCLA, Kentucky, and Duke University, and players who can enter these schools to play will not be bad in the future.
After weighing the pros and cons, Mu Chenfeng chose to accept UCLA.
But Mu Chenfeng had already informed UCLA in advance that he would only play in college for one year, but UCLA still provided him with a full scholarship.
When UCLA made the decision to recruit Mu Chenfeng, everyone thought that this school was crazy, and they would be willing to use a full scholarship to recruit a yellow-skinned player who would only play in the school for one year.
But UCLA ignored everyone's cold eyes, and resolutely sent the recruitment letter from the distant other side of the ocean to Mu Chenfeng's hands.
When I knew that Mu Chenfeng accepted the news of going to the United States to play, it still caused a lot of sensation in China, after all, Mu Chenfeng has gradually revealed the potential of the top domestic player, and everyone thinks that he will become the signboard of Chinese basketball in the future, but he is still very concerned about the fact that he is going to the United States.
There are voices of approval and criticism at the same time.
Supporters feel that going to the United States to train will help the player's development.
Critics say it's a foreigner, and that Chinese players are going to play in China.
Both sides have their own opinions, but neither has pure malice.
After all, I feel that it is still the player's own decision, and the outside world has also accepted Mu Chenfeng's choice.
But there is one person who has always been unwilling to accept it, and that is Su Mengyao, who doesn't want Mu Chenfeng to go to the United States.
The idea may seem selfish, but who wants their favorite person to leave them? Or go to a country that far away.
But that was Mu Chenfeng's dream, and Su Mengyao didn't want to become a stumbling block on the road to his dream.
Mu Chenfeng didn't want to leave Su Mengyao either, but he didn't want to force her to follow him to the United States.
"When I'm at the top, I'll be back." Mu Chen said lightly that the purpose of his trip to the United States was not to get a sky-high contract, but to one day be able to stand at the pinnacle of basketball and prove to the world that the yellow race can also become the king of the sport.
Standing at the top, this is a long and great process, although Su Mengyao is still unclear about what kind of environment the NBA is, but she still knows more or less, many players have not been able to win a championship in their entire careers, which shows how difficult it is to win the championship.
The biggest feature of basketball is that he plays a collective sport, and he can't win by relying on the strength of one person alone, Su Mengyao has never questioned Mu Chenfeng's strength, but if you want to win the championship, it is not enough to rely on strength, you still need some luck, some lucky players can win a lot of championships, and bad luck players can't touch that trophy no matter how hard they try.
Good teammates, it's like a lottery.
"You can." Su Mengyao suppressed the reluctance in her heart and said with a smile, but there were obviously tears in her laughter.
"Three years." Mu Chenfeng gave a clear time, "Give me three years." ”
Three years is 1096 days, Su Mengyao set a countdown on her mobile phone, 1095 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
"That's it." Su Mengyao handed the countdown time to Mu Chenfeng, and looking at the countdown seconds, Mu Chenfeng smiled.
"Fool." Mu Chenfeng tapped Su Mengyao's forehead, "Why don't you go to the United States with me." ”
"I don't want it." As soon as Su Mengyao heard the word America, she was a little resistant in her heart, after all, he had never left here since he was a child, and when he mentioned the United States, the first impression in his heart was that it was far away, and she shook her head.
"I'd better stay and wait for you." Su Mengyao said softly.
"Three years, soon."
"yes, soon."
Su Mengyao took the pickup truck home, this was the first time the pickup truck left Mu Chenfeng, and the little guy kept looking at Mu Chenfeng when he was about to part, knowing that he disappeared from his field of vision.
After leaving Mu Chenfeng, the pickup was sullen, lying on the windowsill all the time, looking out the window, in the direction of Mu Chenfeng's house.
Su Mengyao also looked in that direction with it.
"He said three years, do you think he'll come back?" Su Mengyao is talking to Pickup.
Pickup whispered "Wang", as if he understood Su Mengyao's words.
"Three years, that's a long time." Su Mengyao supported her chin with her hands, and the sunlight outside the window sprinkled on the balcony, reflecting the shadows of her and the pickup.
This was Mu Chenfeng's last day in China, he traveled to all the venues in the city, and his footsteps finally stopped at Nanling.
Stopping in front of the graffiti wall, the graffiti on this wall has become blurred because of the rain, but he can still clearly see his name on the wall, and the clear black cross on the name is still visible, this is Mu Chenfeng's wish that he has not understood, and today he wants to fulfill this wish, as a gift to himself to the United States.
At that time, Nanling had changed greatly from two years ago, and now it is crowded with people, and there are at least three or four groups of people queuing up to play on almost every court, which is very lively.
Mu Chenfeng walked all the way to the end of the court, and came to the "final field", where he had to go head-to-head with the strongest player here and remove his name from the graffiti wall.
After returning from the United States two years ago, Mu Chenfeng wanted to challenge, but was stopped by Fang Tianzheng, this delay is two years, and now Mu Chenfeng is no longer what it used to be, he is the MVP of the national competition and a Grand Slam.
And the person who greeted Mu Chenfeng has completely changed, and he is no longer his former opponent.
Although the people have changed, the rules remain the same, and the winner can erase the name from the graffiti wall, and the loser has to cross the name on the wall.
As a result, Mu Chenfeng killed the five players in the "First Stadium" in one go, but he didn't even sweat a little, thinking that he was abused and lost face, and today he picked up the lost face.
"You're so funny." Suddenly, Li Yao's voice sounded in the stadium, "Remove your name and leave mine on it." ”
Mu Chenfeng turned his head and said with a smile, "My name will be eliminated by myself." ”
"Or else?" Li Yao asked rhetorically, "Do you still expect you to fail?" ”
The "half-dead" defender who had just been beaten by Mu Chenfeng was bored because of the fiasco and was eager to regain face, and Li Yao came to the door by himself to give this group of people a chance.
"Well, let's bet bigger." Li Yao suddenly proposed to change the rules, after all, he was the champion, and he couldn't look down on the simple name game.
"How to bet?" The other party asked.
"If I lose the name, but if you lose, tear down the graffiti wall." Li Yao turned his head to look at Mu Chenfeng, and the two nodded tacitly, Mu Chenfeng had already had the idea of demolishing the graffiti wall, but he didn't have a chance to mention it, Li Yao's words just happened to be said in his heart.
The other party hesitated for a moment, "You are one to the five of us?" ”
"Of course, wheel wars, as long as I lose one of them, I lose." Li Yao said confidently.
Self-confidence is really contagious, which is vividly reflected in Li Yao's body, and in the past, this self-confidence was only available to Mu Chenfeng.
"Are you sure you don't need help?" Mu Chenfeng asked worriedly, he didn't doubt Li Yao's strength, but the wheel battle is very small and has good physical strength, and the opponent's strength is also very strong, so it is very risky to fight one against five.
"I've been playing under your aura, it's time for me to be majestic again, don't worry, I didn't like that wall a long time ago, and I demolished it today." Li Yao rejected Mu Chenfeng and insisted on going it alone.
said to fight, Li Yao's wheel battle was one against five.
After a 20-minute battle, Li Yao defeated 4 opponents one after another, although the score difference was not big, but it was not difficult to win.
After four consecutive games, Li Yao's physical fitness began to decline, and he was facing the strongest player on the other side, Mu Chenfeng's heart suddenly raised his throat, which was obviously deliberately arranged by the other party, in order to give himself an advantage in physical fitness in the last game.
"You're really strong, but it's a pity you didn't have a chance to tear down that wall." The other party said viciously.
"Not necessarily!" Li Yao sneered.
In the next game, Li Yao was unusual, not fighting an offensive battle with the opponent, but focusing on defense.
"This posture ......" Seeing Li Yao's posture, Mu Chenfeng was stunned for a long time, and the defender who gave the opponent the most headache came back.
Before Li Yao overcame Yipu's disease, he had been based on defense and formed his own exclusive defensive system.
"I can't get by!" Under Li Yao's defense, the opponent was a little anxious, and no matter how he broke through and feints, he was never able to break through Li Yao.
"You can't score." Whenever this sentence is uttered at the waist, the opponent suffers.
As a result, the opponent failed to score five consecutive attacks, but Li Yao seized the opportunity, scored consecutive goals, and finally won the last game with a clean sheet.
"When did Nanling's level become so weak?" Li Yao joked while wielding the sledgehammer in his hand.
"It's not that they're getting weaker, it's that we're getting stronger!"
The wall collapsed in front of Mu Chenfeng, and the "Monument of Shame" in Nanling completely disappeared from the world, returning the purest basketball to those who loved it.
