Chapter 189 It's Not That Simple

Rum gave up the chance to dodge the last ball, but his final catch was far more exciting than the dodge.

How terrifying this is. It is difficult for ordinary people to withstand such a powerful impact of a 200-per-hour tennis ball with bare hands, but Rum can catch it unscathed.

"Why did he do this? You can avoid it, so why take it?" Rum's choice is puzzling, and this may be his way of showing his strength to the outside world.

In the end, only Mu Chenfeng managed to dodge all 10 balls and got the full score, and the scores of the others were almost the same.

Henry, who didn't dodge a single ball, even got a point. Is it hard work?

After the assessment, the ranking changed dramatically. Mu Chenfeng became the first in the ranking, followed by Rum, Felix and others.

The ball handling test is not friendly to many big players.

Defenders and forwards occupy the top positions in the rankings, but there are actually three people who rank first in individual items, Rum, Felix, and Cannavaro.

Mu Chenfeng ranked second with a difference of one point.

The design of the shooting assessment is based on the position of the players, and the content of the assessment is also slightly different. The shooting range of outside players extends from the free throw line to the distance of one meter behind the three-point line, while the shooting range of inside players is from the edge of entry to the three-point line.

As the last assessment before the qualifying battle, the players took it more as a pre-match warm-up to find the touch. Both inside players and outside players showed a very high level of shooting, with all shooting percentages exceeding 50%. The best performer in shooting training was Carlisle Curry, who made all five long-range three-pointers.

The assessment content in the morning is all over, and the players have 2 hours to rest and prepare for the game in the afternoon.

Henry held the freshly released ranking list in his hand, and his name appeared in the second-to-last position, "Damn it, is the score wrong?" Except for the first assessment, Henry's results in other items were not too ideal, but overall, he would not fall to the second-to-last position. After carefully checking the scores, Henry's heart sank.

There was no mistake in the calculation of the score, and he indeed took the second-to-last place.

Puyol put his arm around Henry's shoulder to "comfort" and said, "The penultimate is also the second."

Puyol's ranking is much better than Henry's. He ranks third in the international team, second only to Mu Chenfeng's 2nd and Cannavaro's 13th. Klose's performance is affected by a cold and he ranks 33rd. Even so, he is much higher than Henry, who is 59th.

"It doesn't matter, I still have a chance in the afternoon, let's see how I can come back against the wind!" Henry was quite optimistic, the game in the afternoon was a big score, as long as he could win, he could get back the points lost in the morning.

"Have you all thought about who you want to fight?" Cannavaro asked.

Puyol shook his head, "I haven't, I feel the same as anyone."

"What about you?" Cannavaro turned his head and asked Mu Chenfeng.

"Jian Robert!" Mu Chenfeng spit out his name.

"Robert? He's a member of Top10. I remember that he seems to be No.9, and his score in the morning doesn't seem to be low." Henry seriously searched for the name of Gian Robert on the ranking list, and soon he found it, just three places behind Mu Chenfeng, ranking fifth.

The top ten on this list are all masters. Except for Mu Chenfeng who is No. 2 and Felix who is No. 7, the other 8 people are all from Top 10.

Mu Chenfeng did not choose the higher-ranked Rum, but set his goal on Robert, who is easier to beat. This is a bit surprising, but it is also an extremely wise choice. The results of ranking first and tenth are not the same. You can get the NCAA trial training opportunity, so why bother to touch Rum's hard bone so quickly.

Moreover, judging from his performance in the morning, no one can shake Rum's No. [-] position. He is fully prepared and can beat any challenger at any time.

"What about you? Don't you have any idea about the ranking?" Mu Chenfeng walked to the vending machine and took out a bottle of drink, opened it and took a sip. This is the preferential treatment for the training campers, and they can drink the drinks in the vending machine wherever they go.

"Of course, my goal is to be in the top 20." Henry looked like a salty fish waiting to turn around, and seemed very satisfied with his goal of being in the top 20.

The top 20 does not sound like an ideal goal, but with Henry's strength, he can still consider hitting the top 20.

"What about you?" Mu Chenfeng didn't make any comments on Henry's choice, and turned to ask Cannavaro, who seemed preoccupied.

Cannavaro settled down and said, "I want to try to challenge the Top 10. I've come here, so I have to compete with the real masters anyway."

"A real master, hey, who do you look down on?" Henry was unhappy when he heard this, as if there were no masters outside the Top 10.

Everyone ignored Henry again.

"It is indeed possible to give it a try, but I always feel that many people will challenge them this afternoon, especially those at the bottom of the ranking." Puyol explained Cannavaro's thoughts.

Cannavaro nodded and said, "That's what I'm worried about. I don't think anyone will be foolish enough to challenge the hard bones like Rum and Robinson. Most people who have ideas about the top ten will choose players who are relatively late. Players like Robert and Tyrone will definitely become "sweet potatoes."

"Mu Chenfeng chose Robert, and I can't compete with him, so I'm more likely to choose Tai Long." Cannavaro continued.

Mu Chenfeng said: "But the training camp limits the number of times each player can be challenged. Each of us only has three chances, so you must be one of the three, and I know that Felix's goal is also Tai Long."

This news made Cannavaro flinch. Felix's strength is not inferior to Tyrone's. There is a high probability that he will defeat Tyrone and replace Tyrone as the new Top 10. This means that if Cannavaro wants to continue to challenge, his opponent will most likely become Felix. Can his strength really pose a threat to Felix?
"This qualifying match is not as simple as we thought. They deliberately gave each of us three opportunities to challenge and be challenged. They must have their considerations. We may lose the position we won, so we should not rush to challenge. Wait until the situation is clear before making a move. That way the chances of winning are better."

"Mu Chenfeng is right, anything can happen before the last opportunity to challenge is exhausted." Klose added.

"So, I want to be the last "spoiler"." Mu Chenfeng had already made up his mind, and he wanted to use his last chance to challenge the Top 10.
