Chapter 74 Don't Underestimate Chinese Players

The basketball spins strongly in the air and turns into the basket.

"Strike." Mu Chenfeng's performance was recognized by Kyle Terry, and the opponent couldn't help applauding him. It was hard to imagine that such a difficult move would be completed by a Chinese.

In the impression of Americans, Chinese basketball is still in the era of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, relying on its height advantage to survive in the NBA where there are many masters, and the appearance of Mu Chenfeng allows Americans to see another kind of Chinese basketball.

Being able to win applause from his opponent, Mu Chenfeng's trip was worthwhile.

However, this is the home court of Kyle Trisher. He has been playing here with his "dear basketball" since he was 3 years old. No one is more familiar with everything here than him. Only he knows that the basket on the left side of the court is 0.5 cm lower than the basket on the right.

Mu Chenfeng's strong counterattack actually aroused Terry's stronger desire to fight. Since he completed his first dunk on this court at the age of 13, he has never met an opponent of equal strength here. Mu Chenfeng's appearance revived his long-sleeping desire to win.

"It's a nice move."

Terry only watched it once and memorized all Mu Chenfeng's actions.

Then, double it back!
The same movement, attached to Terry's body, all attributes have been strengthened.

He is simply an upgraded version of Mu Chenfeng.

Mu Chenfeng, who was passed by, stood there in a daze, "His speed has become faster." If Mu Chenfeng could barely keep up with the previous speed, this time Terry's speed has increased to a level that Mu Chenfeng can't match.

"Is this the gap?" When you use your strengths to collide head-on with the opponent but still fail, the damage to your self-confidence will multiply.

"What's wrong with you?" Fu Di also noticed that Mu Chenfeng's performance was too abnormal, lacking energy, which was far from yesterday's performance, "Could it be something wrong with his body?"

There is no problem with Mu Chenfeng's body at all.

The problem is Kyle Terry.

"Don't be dejected." Fu Di encouraged Mu Chenfeng, "I just heard that he is the No. [-] pick in the same draft, and he plans to participate in the NBA draft in two years' time."

The implication is that the opponent is a very powerful master, and losing to him is not a shameful thing.

But Mu Chenfeng didn't think so, it was precisely because Terry was the top pick, and he wanted to beat him. There was only one top pick every year, and Mu Chenfeng also had ideas.

"Phew~" Mu Chenfeng let out a sigh of relief. Based on the current strength of the two, Mu Chenfeng is no match for him. The real competition between the two will be in the draft two years later.

"Just let the horse come here!" Mu Chenfeng opened his arms, with the appearance of disarming and surrendering to be destroyed.

Kyle Terry passed Mu Chenfeng again and again without mercy, but each time he encountered stronger resistance than the last one. Although the final result ended with Kyle Terry's success, Mu Chenfeng did not get nothing. He gradually saw the gap between himself and the real top players.

"Or, let's stop fighting." Fu Di walked to Mu Chenfeng and said with concern.

"No, continue." Mu Chenfeng bent down and put his hands on his knees, sweat dripping down to the ground.

Because he was always obsessed with keeping up with Terry's speed, Mu Chenfeng challenged his limit time and time again, which put a huge load on his body. After only one quarter of the game, Mu Chenfeng's legs were as heavy as lead, which was greater than his usual consumption of the entire game.

"That Chinese kid is dying." The black man next to him booed.

"Did you hear me?" Mu Chenfeng straightened his back, "We represent China, so we can't be looked down upon."

Terry was surprised that Mu Chenfeng still had the strength to stand up again. His previous opponents had already collapsed physically in such a high-intensity game. Obviously Mu Chenfeng was different from those players.

"Don't underestimate Chinese players!" Kyle Terry remembered Li Tianlong's advice to him when he left the United States. As he said, Chinese players are not as vulnerable as Americans think.

Underestimating the Chinese is a disadvantage.

"Mu Chenfeng, from China." A man in a suit next to him took out his notebook and recorded it.

This person has a lot of background. He is a scout for a certain NBA team. He specializes in providing the team with information on players with basketball talents, so that they can help the team capture the players they want in the future NBA draft.

As the NBA's prospective No. [-] pick, Kyle Terry has of course been included in the tracking list of scouts. There are detailed records about his every move and the value of various abilities. These materials will be finally submitted to the team's management through professional analysis and evaluation.

This scout is Kyle Terry's full-time scout, and he has been tracking Terry for 5 years. Maybe he is someone who needs to know himself better than Terry himself.

A basketball talent who can enter the scout watch list must be superior to others. Now Mu Chenfeng's name is also included in it, but it is not because of his strength.

Chinese players have always been "favourites" in the eyes of NBA management. However, their selection criteria for Chinese players is not all dependent on strength, but more because of the vast market in China. As long as a Chinese player is signed, the exposure rate and income will naturally skyrocket. In other words, Chinese players are cash machines in the eyes of team owners.

Buying the player's "dream" at a very low price, so as to get a huge profit, is a good deal no matter how you think about it.

The scouts only recorded Mu Chenfeng's name in the notes, and the other evaluation areas were almost blank.

"From the perspective of a Chinese, your strength is already very good." Kyle Terry's words sounded very ironic.

"Don't underestimate Chinese players!" Mu Chenfeng said angrily.

Terry was stunned, he didn't expect him to say the same words as Li Tianlong, and Terry was quite touched when he heard these words again.

"Basketball isn't something to talk about," Terry continued.

"Hmph." Mu Chenfeng sneered, "Then talk with basketball."

Kyle Terry attacked Mu Chenfeng again, this time Mu Chenfeng was not passed.

"It's impossible!" Terry couldn't hide his surprise after being stopped, "How can you keep up with my speed?"

"Of course I can't keep up with your speed." Mu Chenfeng responded, "So I'll wait for you here!"

It turned out that when Mu Chenfeng was defending, he intentionally left two gaps around his body instead of defending close to him. This gave him enough room for judgment, and Kyle Terry's change of direction was extremely large. This is both an advantage and a disadvantage. As long as he accurately judges the direction in which he is about to break through, it is not very difficult to defend.

"Prediction in advance?" Terry's eyebrows gathered together, "Do you really think you have super powers to predict the future?"

"No!" Mu Chenfeng once again became the obstacle between Terry and the basket, "This is not some super power, but"

"Feel!"
