Chapter 171 Frustration
It's a game without suspense.

No one will voice any objection, including the five players on the field who are also very clear that their current strength is not enough to compete against professional teams, and they are still competitive teams in the NBA.

However, there are always some young people who will not give up unless they hit the south wall.

"They are very strong." Mu Chenfeng calmly looked at the five opponents in front of him. They were like five insurmountable mountains, lying between them and the basket.

Felix answered, "Ah, you don't need to say it, even a fool can see it."

From the start to now, the training camp has not scored a single point.

"Such an opponent is interesting, isn't it?" The temporary setback didn't affect Enzo in the slightest. Instead, he became more excited. Only a truly powerful opponent needs to be defeated.

Rum and Robinson also joined the group chat.

"Enzo is right. Even if you lose, you have to lose beautifully." Rum has already made complete mental preparations. They have no possibility of winning this game, and all they can do is to go all out and hit every ball well.

Robinson obviously hasn't completely come out of the shadow of being capped, but was once again brought into another shadow by Bieber's inhuman alley-oop.

"At least one goal must be scored. It would be too shameful if not one point." Robinson said what everyone was thinking, the requirement is not high, just one goal is enough.

The five of them gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"This picture is so beautiful." Louis couldn't help but sigh at the scene of unity.

"Just one goal away and it would be perfect."

With a clear goal, playing becomes much easier. The training camp did not formulate any special strategy, but reached a consensus on the choice of offense, that is, no matter who gets a shot, they should not hesitate to shoot.

It is not easy to grab a rebound from Bieber, but what is more difficult than grabbing a rebound is how to make a shot. Under the impenetrable defense of the training camp, there is no decent shot.

Disrupting the opponent's tactics is the most successful defense.

The Bulls have always maintained a high-intensity defense at this point. This is the defensive culture instilled in the team by former head coach Thibodeau, and it has been used to this day.

In contrast, the Bulls' defense is a bit "killing a chicken with a sledgehammer", and the offensive intensity of the training camp does not require them to defend so hard.

Mu Chenfeng and Felix made a pick-and-roll cooperation and successfully exchanged defensive players. Mu Chenfeng's defensive pressure dropped sharply and he got a good offensive opportunity. Mu Chenfeng shot decisively.

"How could it be possible for you to make such a comfortable shot!" Barrett defended and slapped the basketball away.

If it was one-on-one just now, the goal would have a great chance of scoring, but Mu Chenfeng is not facing one person, but a team, and he may be defended at any time.

Mu Chenfeng's offense was not effective, but it gave the training camp a possibility that it was Wilson.

He's the weakest link on the Bulls' defense.

So the training camp began targeting Wilson.

Mu Chenfeng and Felix continuously used high-intensity breakthroughs to test Wilson's defensive ability, which made the opponent a little overwhelmed.

"It seems that they have found our weakness." Barrett has tried his best to help Wilson defend, but his defensive problems are still exposed.

Wilson is an excellent shooter, but God is fair. While giving him outstanding offensive talents, he will always design some irreparable weaknesses for him, and that is defense.

Wilson is not born to defend, and the scout report bluntly said that his defense will bring disaster to the team.

Mu Chenfeng's breakthrough is extremely lethal among his peers, with a large range of direction changes and a fast attack rhythm, especially his first step, which is a great weapon to pierce the opponent's defense.

Admittedly, Wilson had no way to guard against his first move.

Under the successive attacks, Wilson's loophole was gradually torn open, Mu Chenfeng, Felix, and Rum, all three of them were able to get past him.

Wilson's defense really embarrasses the NBA, but breaking through Wilson is just the first step. After him, someone will replace him at any time.

"There will be problems if this continues." Louis actually gave a negative answer to the results achieved by the players, "They spent too much energy on dealing with Wilson, and he is not the opponent they really should face at all."

No matter how bad Wilson's defense is, he is still an NBA player. It took a lot of energy for Mu Chenfeng and others to pass him, and it is difficult to guarantee how long the change of direction and fast-paced offense can last, and it is very likely to collapse instantly.

"They just took advantage of Wilson and kept consuming our physical energy, and finally failed due to lack of energy."

From the sweat flowing down from the three of them, it was clear how much they had consumed.

"Damn it, there is still no way to break through the second level." Mu Chenfeng wiped the sweat off his face with his jersey, and just after wiping it off, the sweat came out again.

"They have already seen through our strategy and set up a supplementary defense behind Wilson. As expected of a professional player, they acted really quickly to make up for it after a dead sheep," Rum said.

"Wait a minute." Rum arranged tactics in a low voice, and his teammates nodded frequently.

"Don't worry about the point difference. If you lose 1 point, you lose, and if you lose 100 points, you lose. Let go and do it."

Felix took the lead to look for opportunities, and Mu Chenfeng stepped forward to do a pick-and-roll for him.

"Do you think this level of pick-and-roll will work for an NBA player?" The opponent ignored Mu Chenfeng and stepped around him.

"It might not work!" Rum appeared where the other party was standing.

Double pick and roll!
"What?" The opponent was obviously surprised that a teenager could use a double pick-and-roll, and the quality of the pick-and-roll was very high.

Felix successfully got rid of his opponent, Mu Chenfeng and Langmu both went down, making the opponent not know what to do, he could only catch Rum who was far away from him to defend, and missed Mu Chenfeng.

Snapped!
When the ball arrives, Felix knows the essence of the pick-and-roll, so when Mu Chenfeng gets an open chance, he passes the ball over.

Mu Chenfeng stopped suddenly and shot a jump shot.

"Don't even think about it!" Thompson rushed out from inside to defend against Mu Chenfeng.

Mu Chenfeng smiled slightly, "I was fooled!" He dunked the ball into the inside line, and at this moment, Enzo and Robinson on the inside line were "two against one".

Robinson made a feint, and Bieber was fooled, shifting the defensive center to his side. Robinson didn't stick to the ball, and passed the ball to Enzo from Bieber's armpit. Enzo took advantage of the momentum and attacked the basket.

boom! ! !
Enzo dunked heavily, and the dunked basket shook violently.

"Quick, grab the rebound!" Robinson and the other four fought for the rebound together, but Bieber was too tall, so he took the rebound with a light touch.

"It didn't even go in!" There was an uproar in the audience. This was the closest the training camp was to a goal, but Barrett pressed it down abruptly before the basketball was sent into the basket.

"Very good cooperation, but unfortunately not enough to break through our basket." Barrett didn't intend to let go of a drop, but the cooperation in the training camp was indeed very tacit, successfully shaking off four Bulls players, but it was a pity that there were five on the court.

Barrett will always be the Bulls' last rim protector.

Nothing hits harder than when a flawless combination falls short at the last moment.

The faces of the players showed endless regret and frustration.

"Should I call a timeout?" Alice couldn't bear to watch, she just hoped that the game would end soon so that Mu Chenfeng and others could end their suffering.

"No, they can handle it." Louis was calm and unhurried, as if he had already seen the end.

"If you can't handle this setback, what qualifications do you have to talk about the NBA." It is rare for George to share the same opinion as Louis. He is more worried about the state of the players than anyone else, and he can best understand their feelings at the moment, but some failures and setbacks can only be digested and experienced by themselves.

At least there are teammates on the basketball court who share, encourage and support each other, digest together, endure together, and solve together.

Both George and Louis believed that, in their abilities, a solution would soon be found.
