Chapter 287 Before leaving
In June, in the gymnasium of No. [-] Middle School, Mu Chenfeng was facing the "Wall of Honor" and fell into deep thought.
"So you're here." Su Mengyao jumped up and down in front of Mu Chenfeng, and lightly patted his shoulder with one hand.
Mu Chenfeng didn't look back, but he already knew who the other party was, and there was some melancholy in his eyes.
"What are you thinking about?" Su Mengyao looked at the full of honors hanging on the wall, including two winter championships, one autumn championship, one national competition championship, one Super League championship and many competition honors. These honors are closely related to Mu Chenfeng.
Now he is in the third year of high school, and just yesterday he said goodbye to his classmates. He has received an invitation letter from UCLA in the United States, and he is about to leave for the United States, which he has always dreamed of.
For Mu Chenfeng, his high school career was perfect enough. He achieved unprecedented Grand Slam honors. He received five championships and was also the MVP of the event. Now Mu Chenfeng is the hottest player in the country. When everyone was 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. At the same time, he is also the scoring record holder in the high school league, the assist leader, and the triple-double leader.
The record of five championships and three runner-ups made him the No.3 in the history of the high school league. He successfully surpassed Zhang Jianing, Qiu Fei, Zhan Yang and other players to become the champion.
It is not the five championships that Mu Chenfeng cares about, but the three runner-ups, the autumn competition of the sophomore year, the national competition of the sophomore year, and the winter competition of the senior year. Among these three losses, the winter competition of the senior year is what he cares most about, because it was his last game. ended his high school career.
"When is the plane?" Su Mengyao asked in a low voice.
"The plane the day after tomorrow." Mu Chenfeng said softly.
"Oh." Su Mengyao lost her expression, holding the pickup in her hand, she seemed to have sensed that Mu Chenfeng was about to leave, she was in a bad mood, her head drooped and she was very lethargic.
Mu Chenfeng stared at Su Mengyao and Pickup affectionately, stretched out his hand and gently touched the little guy's head, "I'll leave Pickup to your care."
"Will you come back?" Su Mengyao asked Mu Chenfeng with one sentence, not knowing 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 Mu Chenfeng's hesitation, Su Mengyao already had the answer in her heart, and gently stroked the little pickup's head with her hand.
"You will succeed." Su Mengyao said firmly, even though the tears in her eyes were already spinning.
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 draft rankings. He was once ranked among the top 30 in the same draft.
Entering the NCAA for a year 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 practice in the college league, improve himself in the confrontation with American players, and then enter the NBA. This 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 play in the NBA, but when he saw the real situation of the players ranked behind him, Mu Chenfeng chose to compromise.
Entering the NCAA is not a bad thing. Many NBA players will play in the NCAA for a year before entering the league, as a transition from high school to the league. Facts have proved that players who have experienced college leagues can better adapt to the rhythm of the league than players who entered the league directly from high school.
Moreover, UCLA, a university from Los Angeles, was among the five universities that offered an olive branch to Mu Chenfeng.
For many players, the recruitment of prestigious schools is a recognition of strength, especially prestigious schools like UCLA, Kentucky, and Duke University. 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 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 the school was crazy. They were willing to use a full scholarship to recruit a yellow-skinned player who would only play in the school for one year. With their history and conditions, he could safely recruit an extremely outstanding American player. This is a decision that a rational manager would make.
But UCLA resolutely sent the recruitment letter from the far side of the ocean to Mu Chenfeng regardless of everyone's cold eyes.
When it was known that Mu Chenfeng accepted the news of going to the United States to play, it caused quite a stir in the country. After all, Mu Chenfeng has gradually revealed the potential of the top domestic players. Everyone thinks that he will become the future of Chinese basketball. However, he is still very concerned about his going to the United States.
There are voices of approval as well as criticism.
Supporters feel that going to the United States will help the development of players.
Critics believe that it is an act of xenophobic fawning, and Chinese players will play in China.
Both sides insisted on their opinions, but neither had pure malice.
After all, I feel that it is the player's own decision, and the outside world also accepts Mu Chenfeng's choice.
But there is one person who has been unwilling to accept, that is Su Mengyao, she does not want Mu Chenfeng to go to the United States.
This idea seems selfish, but who wants the person he likes to leave him?Or go to a country that is so far away.
But that was Mu Chenfeng's dream, and Su Mengyao didn't want to be a stumbling block in his dream.
Mu Chenfeng didn't want to leave Su Mengyao either, but he didn't want to force her to follow him to America.
"When I reach the peak, I will come back." Mu Chen said calmly. His purpose of going to the United States was not to get a sky-high contract, but to one day be able to stand at the peak of basketball and prove to the world that people of yellow race can also become the king of this sport.
It is a long and great process to reach the top. Although Su Mengyao is still not clear about the environment in the NBA, she still has some understanding. Many players have spent their entire careers without winning a championship, which shows how difficult it is to win.
The biggest characteristic of basketball is that it is a team sport. It cannot be won by one person alone. Su Mengyao has never questioned Mu Chenfeng's strength, but it is not enough to rely on strength alone to win the championship. More or less luck is needed. Some lucky players can win many championships, and unlucky players can't touch that trophy no matter how hard they work.
Good teammates are like a lottery.
"You can definitely do it." Su Mengyao suppressed the reluctance in her heart, and said with a smile, but there were tears in her smile.
"Three years." Mu Chenfeng gave a clear time, "Give me three years."
三年就是1096天，苏梦瑶在手机上设定了倒计时，1095天23小时59分59秒。
"It's done." Su Mengyao handed the countdown time to Mu Chenfeng, and Mu Chenfeng smiled when he saw the seconds counting down.
"Fool." Mu Chenfeng tapped Su Mengyao's forehead lightly, "Why don't you go to America with me."
"I don't want it." When Su Mengyao heard the word "America", she felt a little resistant. After all, he had never left here since he was a child. When he mentioned the United States, the first impression in his mind was the unreachable distance. 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 back home. This was the first time that the pickup had left Mu Chenfeng. The little guy kept looking at Mu Chenfeng when he was about to say goodbye, knowing that he had disappeared from his sight.
After leaving Mu Chenfeng, the pickup was depressed, lying on the window sill, looking out of the window towards the direction of Mu Chenfeng's house.
Su Mengyao also looked in that direction with it.
"He said three years, do you think he will come back?" Su Mengyao was talking to Pickup.
Pickup gave a soft "Wow", as if it understood Su Mengyao's words.
"Three years, it's so long." Su Mengyao supported her chin with her hands, the sunlight outside the window shone on the balcony, reflecting the shadows of her and the pickup, one big and one small.
This was Mu Chenfeng's last day in the country. He visited all the venues in the city, and finally stopped at Nanling.
Stopping in front of the graffiti wall, the graffiti on the wall has become blurred due to 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 never understood. Today, he wants to fulfill this wish, as a gift for himself to go to the United States.
At that time, Nanling has changed a lot from what it was two years ago. Now it is crowded with people, and almost every court has at least three or four groups of people queuing up to play. It is very lively.
Mu Chenfeng walked all the way to the end of the field and came to the "last field". He wanted to single out 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. The delay lasted for two years. Today, Mu Chenfeng is not what he used to be. He is the MVP of the national competition and also a grand slam.
And the person who greeted Mu Chenfeng also changed completely, he was no longer his previous opponent.
Although people have changed, the rules remain the same, the winner can have his name erased from the graffiti wall, and the loser's name will be crossed out on the wall.
As a result, Mu Chenfeng killed the five field players in the "First Stadium" in one go, but he didn't even break out in a sweat. Thinking back then, he was abused and disgraced, and today he regained the lost face.
"You are really interesting." Li Yao's voice suddenly sounded from the stadium, "Remove your own name and leave mine on it."
Mu Chenfeng turned his head and said with a smile, "Delete my own name."
"Otherwise?" Li Yao asked back, "Don't we still expect you to fail?"
The "half-dead" field players who had just been beaten by Mu Chenfeng were depressed because of the disastrous defeat and were eager to regain face. Li Yao came to the door by himself and gave this group of people a chance.
"How about this, let's bet a little bigger." Li Yao suddenly proposed to change the rules. After all, he is the champion, and he no longer likes the simple name game.
"How to bet?" the other party asked.
"If I lose the name, write it down, but if you lose, the graffiti wall will be demolished." Li Yao turned to look at Mu Chenfeng, and the two nodded in tacit understanding. Mu Chenfeng had long thought of tearing down the graffiti wall, but he had no chance to mention it. Li Yao's words just hit his heart.
The other party hesitated for a moment, "Are you against five of us?"
"Of course, in the battle of wheels, as long as I lose one of them, I will lose." Li Yao said confidently.
Confidence is really contagious, and this is vividly reflected in Li Yao. In the past, only Mu Chenfeng had this kind of confidence.
"Are you sure you don't need help?" Mu Chenfeng asked worriedly. He didn't doubt Li Yao's strength, but a wheel battle is very small and requires physical strength, and the opponent's strength is also very strong. One against five is very risky.
"Playing under your halo all the time, it should be time for me to be majestic again. Don't worry, I don't like the wall a long time ago. I will dismantle it today." Li Yao rejected Mu Chenfeng and insisted on doing it alone.
Fight as soon as you say it, Li Yao fought with one against five.
After a fierce battle that lasted 20 minutes, Li Yao defeated 4 opponents one after another. Although the point difference was not big, the victory was not difficult. Only the last difficult bone was left, and it was also a hard bone.
After four games in a row, Li Yao's physical fitness began to decline, and he was facing the opponent's strongest player. Mu Chenfeng's heart suddenly rose to his throat. This was obviously arranged by the opponent deliberately, and the purpose was to give himself an advantage in physical fitness in the last game.
"You are really strong, but it's a pity that you have no chance to tear down that wall." The other party said viciously.
"Not necessarily!" Li Yao sneered.
In the next game, Li Yao was uncharacteristically, instead of attacking the opponent, he focused all his attention on defense.
"This posture." Seeing Li Yao's posture, Mu Chenfeng was stunned for a long time, and the defensive player who caused the opponent the most headache came back.
Before Li Yao overcomes yip, he has been based on defense and formed his own exclusive defense system.
"I can't pass!" Under Li Yao's defense, the opponent was a little anxious, no matter how he broke through and faked, he still couldn't break through Li Yao.
"You won't score goals." Whenever this sentence is said waist-high, 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 zero seals.
"When did Nanling's level become so weak?" Li Yao joked while waving the sledgehammer in his hand.
"It's not that they have become weaker, but that we have become stronger!"
The wall collapsed in front of Mu Chenfeng, and the Nanling "Monument of Shame" completely disappeared from the world, returning the purest basketball to those who loved it.
