Chapter 366 CBA and NBA
A big victory gave Mu Chenfeng great confidence to hit the NBA. However, just when he was going to win all the subsequent victories and pocket the championship in one go, he encountered the Shougang men's basketball team from the CBA, Liu Tianyu's team.

All teams participating in the Summer League are invited, especially European teams and CBA teams. They are invited based on the overall strength of the teams. Shougang and Hongyuan are currently the two teams closest to the strength of the CBA and the NBA, and they also represent the current strongest strength of the CBA.

In previous years, CBA teams participated in the summer league with the mentality of exchanging games and did not pay much attention to the relationship between victory and defeat. But this year is different. The Chinese Basketball Association has given specific competition goals to both teams. Each team only needs to win at least three games.

A total of 14 teams participated in the Summer League, divided into two groups, A and B. Each group consisted of 7 teams, each of which had to compete with each other. After calculation, a team had to play at least 6 games. If it got the top two in the group, it would also participate in the semi-finals or even the finals. Therefore, a team played at least 6 games and a maximum of 8 games. The goal of the Basketball Association to win 3 games is a moderate requirement.

Shougang and Hongyuan are divided into two groups and will not play against each other before the semifinals. Group A has the Miami Heat and two European powerhouses. It is very difficult to qualify.

Before meeting the Miami Heat, Shougang suffered a two-game losing streak. Although they lost both games, the score was tight. Shougang only lost 7 points in the two games, especially in the game against AC Milan. Scoring 2 points in the face of AC Milan's fierce defense is already a pretty good result. You must know that Mu Chenfeng only scored 28 points in the game against AC Milan.

Although the game lost, Liu Tianyu successfully attracted the attention of major media. In their impression, China's basketball has always been the main advantage of the inside line, which is rich in high -quality inside players. The appearance of Liu Tianyu and Mu Chenfeng completely broke the stereotype of foreigners' basketball. China's basketball gradually developed from the inside line. At the same time, Yu also has good external feel at the same time as good physical conditions, completely refreshing the impression of Chinese basketball in the eyes of outsiders.

The match between the Miami Heat and the Shougang team was even more exaggerated by the media. Although this is not an official NBA game, seeing two Chinese people competing on the same field has given the media enough gimmicks. Although such an amazing exposure rate is not what the authorities want to see, the duel between these two people has indeed attracted the attention of many people.

The day before the game, Mu Chenfeng, Qiu Fei and Liu Tianyu had a dinner together.

"Congratulations, you have successfully landed in the NBA." Liu Tianyu congratulated Mu and Qiu. The NBA is the dream of every boy who loves basketball. Now, this dream has come true.

"Don't you have the idea of ​​entering the NBA?" Mu Chenfeng asked, because he was sitting in the audience during the match between Shougang and AC Milan. He witnessed Liu Tianyu's strength.

"There used to be." Liu Tianyu responded lightly, with gentle peace flowing in his eyes, "but not now."

"Why?" Liu Tianyu's answer surprised people. There are still people who would "reject" the NBA.

"Now the domestic basketball environment is developing very well. The level of the league has been greatly improved. It is very comfortable to play in China, and I believe that the CBA is likely to surpass the NBA in a short time." Liu Tianyu said without reddening or panting, and even "blatantly" said that the CBA is expected to surpass the NBA.

"Maybe." It is the wish of every Chinese basketball player that CBA becomes the No. [-] league. However, this road is long and firmly believed. It means that if you want to challenge the authority of basketball, you must defeat it. This is extremely unrealistic in Mu Chenfeng's view.

However, there was no wavering in Liu Tianyu's eyes, he was serious.

"Now is the best era for Chinese basketball. We have a group of outstanding young players, a gradually improving league operation and national support. It is not a dream to beat the United States." Perhaps this is an idea that only those who really love basketball will understand. Beating is far more fulfilling than joining.

"Tomorrow is the match between your two teams." Qiu Fei reminded that the situation of the two was completely different. One represented the NBA and the other represented the CBA. This was no longer a match between two individuals or two teams, but a contest between two leagues.

The discussion about CBA and NBA has been going on for a long time. After decades of comparison, there is still no accurate result, but one thing is undeniable, the gap between CBA and NBA is narrowing, especially in recent years, the gap narrowing is particularly obvious. I don’t know whether it is because the CBA has improved or the NBA has regressed, but the gap narrowing is an undeniable fact.

Not only the CBA, but all major leagues around the world are narrowing the gap with the NBA.

The European teams in this summer league showed their strength. Four teams had a record of 4 wins and 6 losses against NBA teams. Although there is a certain gap between the strength of the NBA teams in the summer league and the teams in the official competition, the record speaks for itself. Today's European League and CBA are launching a strong impact on the NBA.

The level of basketball in all countries is improving. As the most powerful basketball team in the world, the American Dream Team has lost its absolute dominance in the international arena. In the past four years, the Olympic Games, the World Cup and other large and small competitions, the US team only brought back two championships in more than ten world competitions, and the remaining championships were divided among other countries.

"The CBA doesn't want to be a chaser anymore, and wants to surpass the NBA in our generation." Liu Tianyu is full of confidence in surpassing the NBA.

"Our generation." Mu Chenfeng murmured in a low voice, "Perhaps there is such a possibility."
