Chapter 186 The Final Trial
Today is the last day of the training camp, and there is only one content: ranking battle.

The final result of the competition is the final ranking of the campers in this training camp.

The top ten players will be awarded the title of "honorary player" and have the opportunity to receive practical training opportunities from NCAA teams.

The reason why the final stage was set at Staples was also to get more media exposure. Just yesterday, the greatest individual scoring performance in the past 30 years was born in this venue. Bruce Wade used his personal ability to conquer fans all over the world.

ESPN's front-page headline was that Bruce Wade's jersey sales surpassed James Bryant's overnight, breaking the latter's three-year dominance.

In order to be able to report on the qualifying battle of the training camp as soon as possible, many reporters chose to stay in Los Angeles after reporting the incredible battle between the Heat and the Lakers.

"Today is the last day we will be together." Henry said in a long, slightly sad voice, which sounded like the last goodbye when a couple broke up.

"Can your words be more disgusting?" Cannavaro said while packing his belongings again and again. Why not? A month of getting along is enough for a group of strangers to get along with each other, let alone a group of boys who love basketball. They can become friends or even confidants because of a topic.

The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy, and I was not used to it without those usual laughing and joking voices.

"Mu Chenfeng, don't you feel it?" Someone asked.

"This guy's heart is made of ice, he is a cold-blooded animal without emotion." Henry interjected.

"You can be lucky, your opponent today is not me, otherwise I will definitely kick your ass." Mu Chenfeng responded.

Henry pouted, "Try it if you have the ability."

"I'm not interested in players other than 40." Mu Chenfeng rolled his eyes and said.

Everyone has a rough goal in mind.

The qualifying competition system is quite special. It consists of two parts, namely the basic ability assessment and the actual combat ranking. The two parts each account for 50 points, and the final two parts are the final ranking.

Although it is divided into two parts, everyone has the same basic ability in the front, and it is difficult to draw the difference. The final ranking is determined by the actual ranking. Players with corresponding rankings are challenged.

"It's almost time, let's go to the arena together, and we can warm up in advance." Cannavaro proposed to go to the arena to adapt to the venue first, and the five people unanimously passed this decision.

At six o'clock in the morning, the Staples Center was already full of all kinds of vehicles, and reporters from various media were busy moving the shooting equipment, and they had to ensure that the first-hand information they got was passed on accurately.

The previous warm-up activities about the training camp made enough gimmicks. In addition to attracting a lot of media, even many NCAA famous schools and some NBA teams also sent scouts.

Mu Chenfeng and others left as soon as they appeared and became the focus of attention.

Unexpectedly, the first batch of campers to enter the Staples Center turned out to be five foreigners with different skin colors.

As a result, public opinion reports on American basketball and international basketball spread overwhelmingly.

In less than 10 minutes, a report with a length of thousands of words appeared on the Internet, with over [-] hits in an instant.

As the special five members of the training camp, they have earned a lot of face for international basketball, especially Mu Chenfeng, who successfully entered the American field of vision after dunking Barrett's goal, and he became the number one target of media coverage.

Staples Center, the smell of gunpowder after the fierce battle has not yet dissipated. Yesterday, two outstanding talents staged one of the most classic games in NBA history here. Bruce Wade succeeded in overtaking James Bryant by defeating the defending champion. In this battle, he ranked first in the MVP rankings, and the Miami Heat also successfully topped the league record list, successfully widening the gap with Boston and Philadelphia behind.

After watching such a wonderful game, the campers are full of strength. In addition, everyone attaches great importance to their ranking in the training camp. They sharpen their heads and want to squeeze into the top ten, just to get the opportunity of NCAA trial training.

The NCAA, as an important way to connect the society and the NBA, sends a large number of high-quality talents to the NBA every year. However, with the restart of the special channel for high school students to directly participate in the draft in recent years, more and more high school students choose to skip college and directly try the NBA, making the NCAA gradually lose its former glory.

This is why Lewis insists on advising players to try the NBA after a period of experience in the NCAA.

Entering the Staples Arena, a breath of champions rushed over the arena. There were 17 pieces of glory belonging to the Purple and Gold Legion hanging above the arena, and the retired jerseys were the creators of these glorious moments.

Mu Chenfeng stared at the retired Kobe jersey, and felt a surge of heat in his heart. This is where Kobe Bryant fought. One person, one city is not just a legend. After 20 years of ups and downs, everything has returned to calm following the accident, but when people mention the Lakers, the first thing that comes to mind must be Kobe, and even if he leaves, he will still be the totem of the Lakers.

Set foot on the field specially designed for the training camp. In the center of the court is the logo of the "Naismith" training camp. The floor is made of red, which represents passion, which is Mu Chenfeng's favorite color.

"Are you ready?" Mu Chenfeng was seriously putting on his basketball equipment, and Felix came over and asked.

Mu Chenfeng raised his head, "Of course, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

What Mu Chenfeng cares about is only the final ranking. He just wants to fulfill Louis’ agreement. As for the issue of NCAA trial training, he has never thought about it. For a Chinese player, the NCAA is just a high school league, and it is not as important as American players.

But Felix is ​​different. As a native of Los Angeles, his dream is to join UCLA, then join the Lakers through the draft, and dedicate his entire career to Los Angeles.

"Hopefully both of us can achieve our goals today," Felix said.

"Of course." Mu Chenfeng replied without hesitation. After getting along for 20 days, he also had a general understanding of the strength of the Top 10 members. Except for Rum's relatively abnormal strength, the gap between himself and other players is not insurmountable.

No.9 Gian Robert, with a height of 193, is a shooting guard with strong physical fitness. He has staged humiliating dunks in the game many times. In the previously released simulation data, his body is equivalent to Baron Davis of the same period.

And Felix’s goal is Tyrone from Detroit. The two are in almost overlapping positions on the court, and they can both play from the first position to the third position. However, their playing styles are completely different. Tyrone inherits the blood of Detroit, while Felix grew up in the elegant and highly ornamental style of the Lakers.

The campers entered the venue one after another, and at this time, Mu Chenfeng and others had already started warm-up training.
