Chapter 80 Opening the curtain
"Then he will hand it over to you." At some point, Martin suddenly had a sticky sticker of the same style as the training camp players, with the number 60 on it.

"Me?" Mu Chenfeng spread his palm and took the sticker, "Could it be."

"A special invitation is also an invitation." Martin laughed.

Mu Chenfeng suppressed the indescribable joy in his heart, so he also had the opportunity to compete with them, no wonder Martin specifically told him that he must bring his sneakers and jersey.

It turned out to be such a meaning, Mu Chenfeng should have guessed it a long time ago.

It's not too late for hindsight.

It's just that this number is a bit embarrassing, number 60, there are 55 officially invited players to the training camp, and 5 specially invited players, which means that the last number is not "55" but "60".

"I am the weakest in the entire training camp." Mu Chenfeng's face drooped immediately, and he would be inferior wherever he went with this number on his body. After all, this is the most direct manifestation of ability.

Martin looked at Mu Chenfeng's ranking from another angle, "You have the most room for improvement."

This sounds much better than the weakest.

"If you want to improve the ranking, you have to keep getting stronger." Martin pointed out a clear path for Mu Chenfeng. The current numbers are only temporary. After a period of time, the ranking will definitely be reshuffled. After all, the players ranked after the 10th are all of the same level.

The number "10" is the watershed of the entire training camp level. According to the standards of the NBA draft, they are all players in the "lotter zone".

After the 11th, the level should be relatively average. It cannot be said that they are evenly matched, at least they all win and lose each other, and there is no obvious gap.

"I'm number 60, so let's practice with number 59 first." Mu Chenfeng didn't know everyone's level very well, but he had to find a target to catch up with. To be on the safe side, he picked a number that was "closest" to him.

"The contestants with the special invitation letter cannot be challenged." Martin said lightly, "You can only challenge the contestants before No. 55."

This is the death policy of the training camp. The purpose is to protect the specially invited players. They are also the future stars of their own country. If they fall in the training camp, it will be difficult to explain.

"That is to say, the one who is directly closest to my strength is No. 55." Mu Chenfeng always felt that he was being played, and when he came up, he was about to fight against a 2-meter-high monster, and he was terrified when he thought about it.

"You can choose someone else." Martin didn't want him to meet that kind of player when he first came up. He couldn't come here from China all the way, and then go back in despair after only one confrontation. So he reminded him to be careful when choosing an opponent.

"The challenge can only be started three days after the official opening of the camp. During this period, you can learn more about other players and make a decision at that time."

"No need." Mu Chenfeng has made up his mind, "It's just him." In fact, Mu Chenfeng has no better choice, his strength is already the weakest among the challenged, and everyone else is stronger than him, even though they are all tough, he has to pick the softest bully.

The players got off the car one after another and entered the arena. Mu Chenfeng hid in the corner and observed every player who participated in the training camp. All of them were fit and muscular, and they were not easy to mess with.

"It seems that I was right to choose No. 55." After watching the other players, I looked back at No. 55, which was actually the same.

But the numbers entering the field stopped abruptly when they reached the number "11", followed by numbers 56-59 holding special invitations like myself. They all looked very strong. If you didn't look at the numbers, you wouldn't be able to tell which one was stronger if you mixed them into the team.

The low-ranked players are already at this level, and the high-ranked members are even more powerful.

"Huh." Mu Chenfeng waited for a long time but no one was seen, "Why don't you see the top ten players."

Martin explained, "The top [-] players don't participate in the first half of training camp, they only participate in the second half."

After Mu Chenfeng figured it out, he nodded slightly.

Mu Chenfeng was the last one to enter the arena after all the trainees had entered the arena.

The interior of the arena is different from most arenas. The undulating arc top makes people feel like being in a big pea. The sudden change of the auditorium is also designed with a pea. The surrounding scenery is specially designed for this training camp. There are ten giant posters hanging, all of which are star players who have walked out of the training camp.

James Bryant is also impressively listed.

"Attention campers, attention campers"

The voice of summoning came from the loudspeaker, and everyone's attention was focused on the venue, and Zach George stood alone in the center of the venue.

What is an aura?This is called aura!

Zach George's status in the American basketball world is not inferior to those stars and coaches. In terms of training camp, his height can be compared with Popovich, old K and others. If the NCAA is the key to open the door of the NBA, then Zach George is the craftsman who created this key.

"Welcome to the Naismith training camp, everyone!"

The routine opening unexpectedly received warm applause.

"The next 30 minutes is your time!"

Zach George really only gave an opening speech and then left the venue.

"Is this the end?" Before Mu Chenfeng entered the state of listening, George's training camp speech was over.

It was the shortest speech he had ever heard.

"This is the characteristic of the training camp." Martin on the side explained to Mu Chenfeng, who had just arrived, "Any camper can enter the venue within 30 minutes and show their abilities to their heart's content."

"why is that?"

"In order for us to see." While speaking, Martin had already entered the working state, holding a thick stack of forms in his hand, ready to record.

Mu Chenfeng is also qualified to enter the stadium, but he didn't act too hastily, but first watched the level of other campers.

The campers also looked left and right, discussing with each other, who will be the first to enter the venue?
"Let me come." Mu Chenfeng waited for a long time and saw no one entered, so he got up and planned to be the first person to eat crabs.

At this time, Martin stretched out his hand and pulled him back, "Don't worry, someone will go." Martin picked out the camper's form with a dull head, and then put the camper number "30" on the top of the form.

"Curry! Curry! Curry!" Suddenly there were shouts in unison, and all the campers shouted the name of "Curry" in unison.

"Curry?" Hearing this, the first thing Mu Chenfeng thought of was Stephen Curry, the man standing at the top of the three-point pyramid. Could it be that he is here too?Mu Chenfeng leaned forward and searched among the campers.

Of course Stephen Curry is not coming, but this Curry is related to Stephen.

Carlisle Curry, Stephen Curry's cousin.
