Chapter 671 Back to the Beginning

Mu Chenfeng is now very calm even after losing the game, with a deadpan expression on his face.

He lost to U16 players, and his condition was not as good as these kids.

This is no longer the Mu Chenfeng that Louis knew. It was only half a month since he last saw him, and he has fallen from a super rookie to "worthless".

Louis has been paying attention to the NBA Finals for a long time, and he can see what happened in the third game. James’ block can be regarded as a historical level, which can easily cause serious psychological trauma to the player who was blocked. However, when the block happened, Louis only felt that the shot was very imposing, and did not think about other consequences, because the person who was blocked was Mu Chenfeng, a man who became more and more frustrated.

After Mu Chenfeng missed the entire second half of the game, Louis suddenly realized that the situation was far worse than he had imagined.

"Is this the impact of that block?" Louis couldn't believe that the "five-game losing streak" performance just now was played by Mu Chenfeng, which had already broken the "lost streak record" in the training camp.

Although his performance was not good, Mu Chenfeng still won the applause of the campers when he left the field. For those campers who didn't know, Mu Chenfeng's failure was more like a waterproof. After all, he was far from playing the fighting power he had in the NBA.

"Thank you." For the campers, this is a valuable learning experience, and winning the game again, which will be a great boost to their basketball career.

"How long do you plan to stay here?" During the break, Louis found Mu Chenfeng and chatted with him alone.

Mu Chenfeng walked slowly to the window and looked at the field three years ago. The field almost kept its original appearance, and it was one of the few reserved items in the training camp.

"Why? Are you driving me away in such a hurry!" Mu Chenfeng's eyes were full of confusion and uneasiness, he had lost himself.

"What about the game?" Louis asked, "Now is the critical period of the finals, and the Heat are behind in the score, so you just leave the team alone?"

"It might be better if I'm not here." Mu Chenfeng's words were full of sadness. Every player wants to make a certain contribution to his team and lead the team to win. Mu Chenfeng is no exception, but he understands that he can't do it now.

"Is it because of that block?" Louis asked sharply.

Mu Chenfeng replaced the answer with silence.

"I must have let you down." Mu Chenfeng said slowly, and turned to face Louis. He finally had the courage to face Louis.

"It's okay, I was just a little surprised." Louis always thought that Mu Chenfeng was a player with a strong character, and even felt that no setbacks could knock him down, but Louis finally understood that there is no such thing as an unbeatable player in this world.

"What about the championship?" The championship is the ultimate goal of a professional player. Mu Chenfeng is very lucky to have the opportunity to touch it in the first year of his career. However, facing this luck, Mu Chenfeng actually wants to give up.

"Maybe, I'm not suitable for the NBA." What Louis was most worried about happened, and Mu Chenfeng fell into deep self-doubt.

When an incredibly confident player begins to doubt himself, that's the real problem.

"In this case, you should stay and train with them." Louis decided to help Mu Chenfeng regain his original intention.

Although Mu Chenfeng is a little older than this group of campers, they all have something in common at some level. Mu Chenfeng set sail here.

"Okay." Mu Chenfeng readily agreed to Louis' invitation, and he would spend a period of time in the training camp.

For the time being, it has stabilized, and Su Mengyao can finally feel at ease, but under Mu Chenfeng's request, she cannot tell her Heat teammates about her situation.

On the first day of returning to the training camp, Mu Chenfeng joined the ranking of campers. After summarizing multiple comprehensive data, Mu Chenfeng finally ranked 72th among all 7 campers.

As a camper, such a ranking is completely acceptable, but if it is required as a professional player, Mu Chenfeng's ranking is obviously very bad.

There are 6 players with better statistics than himself, and Mu Chenfeng clearly remembered the names of each of them.

Mu Chenfeng still maintained his regular daily training, but his hit rate and efficiency dropped significantly.

"You are indeed here." It was already 22:00 at night, and Louis came to the arena.

Mu Chenfeng has been practicing for a while, but the training effect is not satisfactory, which makes him very depressed.

"Tomorrow is the fourth game between the Lakers and the Heat. Do you want to watch it together?" Lewis said.

"Don't watch." Mu Chenfeng didn't stop, and continued training, the basketball bounced out of the basket, but missed.

"Escaping won't solve any problems." Louis leaned towards Mu Chenfeng, "As a player, you should feel lucky to have such a strong opponent like James."

Mu Chenfeng stopped, looked at the basketball in his hand, "He is too strong, I can't win."

"If you know you can't win, you have to train harder. There is no one who will never be defeated in this world, but this person has not yet appeared."

What Louis said caused Mu Chenfeng to feel a burst of emotion, "That guy." Now whenever Mu Chenfeng sees the basketball, he will think of that block.

"Tomorrow at 16:00." Louis said, "Let's watch the game together."

After speaking, Louis left the arena, leaving Mu Chenfeng alone to continue practicing in the arena.

His shooting still has not returned to the previous level, but it has reached about 4%.

The training lasted until 24:00 in the middle of the night. Christine in the dormitory has been paying attention to the lights in the arena, and Mu Chenfeng can be vaguely seen training.

"Is this the self-discipline of NBA players?" This was the first time Christine saw the training of NBA players, and she was really taken aback. After careful calculation, Mu Chenfeng spent more than 12 hours a day in the arena, from training during the day to late at night.

With Mu Chenfeng as an example, Christine also increased his training the next day, and formed a "competition" situation with Mu Chenfeng. Mu Chenfeng also felt the joy of mutual competition again after many years.

The Christine in front of him is very similar to Felix back then, and now that man is preparing for the upcoming G4.

Watching NBA games is a feature of this training camp. Louis also hopes that players can see the gap between themselves and professional players, so that they can have a clearer plan for their future.
