Chapter 308 Start with Victory

"Are you okay?" Felix didn't care about the goal. He ran off the field as soon as he finished the layup, caring about Mu Chenfeng's condition. The jump just now was really scary, and he fell to the ground in a state of body imbalance, and fell a full three meters after landing.

"I'm fine." Mu Chenfeng's excellent physical fitness helped him completely resist the impact. In addition, Mu Chenfeng handled the landing very well, allowing himself to avoid all possible injuries.

This is the perfect cooperation from the UCLA "three-person team". Oscar is the starting point of the offense. Although the choice of passing timing is a bit risky, it maximizes the lethality of the fast break. The reason why the fast break was successful this time is entirely because of Mu Chenfeng's speed. The second fast break drew a perfect ending.

It only took Mu Chenfeng just a few minutes for the American audience to remember his name. In the past 5 minutes, Mu Chenfeng showed his jumping, speed and overall situation without reservation.

"Who is that yellow-skinned player? I don't think I've seen it before." The audience all focused on Mu Chenfeng, which brought him unprecedented attention.

"He is Chinese, a freshman this year." A person with knowledge next to him explained.

"Chinese?" The other party showed an incredible look. In the impression of most Americans, most of the impressions of Chinese players are like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and Zhou Qi, who are big and soft inside players.

At least according to American stereotypes.

Mu Chenfeng is not the first Chinese player to play in the NCAA, but he is undoubtedly the most outstanding one. From the birth of the NCAA to the present, a total of 9 Chinese players have played in the NCAA.

Will Mu Chenfeng be the first?

People began to discuss the future of this teenager. This is the American audience. When they see a person shining, they will imagine the future path of this person in their minds, and the end of this path is the NBA.

In the discussion group, several people are using the tools in their hands to do something. They are a group of special spectators, and they are scouts sent by the NBA to the NCAA league.

From the moment the NCAA league kicked off, these scouts have reached their busiest time, because the league is the time when a player's talent can be best reflected, so those scouts will collect and evaluate the team's favorite object in a specific game, and then make it into a "scout report" and submit it to the team management for them to screen.

The NBA has a total of 30 teams, and UCLA and Wake Forest have a total of 19 teams that have sent scouts to observe certain players.

Oscar is a player that all teams are eager to get. Of course, this is limited to some teams that rank in the middle and lower reaches of the NBA league, because only they have the right to draft high enough to bring Oscar under their command.

Of course, although a team like the Los Angeles Lakers also favors Oscar, and Oscar’s hometown is in Los Angeles, the Lakers do not have a high enough draft pick to bring him back to Los Angeles.

After the end of this NCAA tournament, Oscar will bid farewell to his college career and directly enter the NBA. He knows very well that he cannot play for Los Angeles.

The target of the other two scouts is Duncan Jr. The draft picks in their hands are basically the same as Duncan's draft predictions, and their team happens to lack inside players, and they are determined to win Duncan.

Originally, these scouts came here for Oscar and Duncan. Who would have thought that Mu Chenfeng would appear halfway and steal the limelight.

He wasn't as consistent as Duncan or as experienced as Oscar, but as a rookie, he managed to attract the attention of scouts.

"This kid is so amazing, it's hard for you to take your attention away from him." One of the scouts wrote such a passage on Mu Chenfeng's scouting report, as if there was some kind of magical power in Mu Chenfeng, which made people want to stop.

The subsequent game was completely dedicated to Mu Chenfeng and Felix. They tore the entire defense line of Wake Forest to pieces with the power of two people.

"The two of them are like two beasts that have just been unbanned. Their sharp minions can shatter everything."

Wake Forest was defeated after resisting for several rounds. Mu Chenfeng seemed to deliberately overwhelm Felix. Whether it was points, assists, rebounds or other statistics, Mu Chenfeng was only "+1" than the opponent.

In the first NCAA game in his life, UCLA beat his opponent with a score of 99:82 and got off to a good start with a score close to full.

The net difference of 17 points is quite impressive, but in the 8 games that have ended, such a difference can only be ranked fifth, and the winning points of the first four teams are all above 5 points.

"These guys play hard enough." Damian complained, "We won so many points in the first game."

"Where is the first game and the last game? Any game is very important. Any point may affect the final qualifying situation and ranking, so the game is naturally as much as you can win." Oscar explained.

Mu Chenfeng, who performed amazingly in this field, looked at the score sheet in his hand, silently calculating in his heart.

"What is it?" Felix asked.

"Calculate the score difference." Mu Chenfeng responded lightly, "20 points, a full 20 points difference."

"What 20 points?" Felix asked puzzled.

"He's calculating the difference in points difference. The difference between us and No.1 is 20, right." Oscar explained.

Mu Chenfeng nodded, "That's right."

"so what?"

"That's why we need to beat their opponents by at least 20 points in the next game, so that we can even out the difference in points difference." Oscar continued.

"Win at least 20 more points!" Hearing this, the team members all expressed their difficulty. Winning 20 more points is a very strict condition. This means that if the opponent wins by 10 points, UCLA must win by at least 30 points. If the opponent uses 30 points, UCLA must win by 50 points.
"It's simply an impossible task."
