Chapter 359 The Boy Who Created History
The old man was frighteningly tall, more than 2.20 meters by visual inspection. When he appeared at the door, he could only see the area below his neck, and his head was completely separated from the door frame, looking like a "headless giant."

The old man's figure was very wide, blocking the entire door, and Mu Chenfeng and Su Mengyao couldn't get out at all.

"What's the situation?" Su Mengyao asked curiously.

"Cough~" The old man coughed lightly, his voice was a bit naive, but it was thick and powerful.

The old man slowly bent down and poked his head in through the door. Seeing the lineup of the old man, Mu Chenfeng and Su Mengyao were greatly surprised.

The old man is a Chinese, over 50 years old, but there are few traces of time on his face.

"You..." Su Mengyao was so excited that she couldn't speak.

"Chairman?" Mu Chenfeng had contact with the old man. In the year when Mu Chenfeng won the national championship, it was the old man who gave him the championship trophy.

Su Mengyao and Mu Chenfeng welcomed the old man in and arranged a seat for him. The normal-sized chair looked abnormally small under the old man's buttocks.

"I heard that you won the NCAA championship?" the old man said.

"En." Mu Chenfeng nodded weakly. In front of the old man, Mu Chenfeng completely lost the "dominant spirit" of the past, and became docile and humble.

"It's quite capable. This is a good experience. I have never experienced the NCAA." A trace of regret flashed across the old man's face.

"You entered the NBA directly without even playing in the NCAA, and you are still in that capacity. You are our pride." Mu Chenfeng responded.

"Are you really ready?" the old man asked suddenly, leaving Mu Chenfeng at a loss as to how to answer.

"I'm ready," Mu Chenfeng stammered in response.

"You know, it's very difficult for Chinese players to gain a real foothold in the NBA." The old man's tone was somewhat resentful. There are many talented players in China, but they are always unable to gain a foothold in the NBA due to some "inexplicable" reasons, and they don't even have the chance to set foot on the NBA court.

"But your career is perfect." Mu Chenfeng said.

"Will you become the second me?" the old man asked seriously.

"I" Mu Chenfeng doesn't have much confidence. After all, the NBA is the highest-level game in the world, and it is full of unknowns.

"I hope you can become the second me, or surpass me." The old man said firmly, "Chinese basketball is about to usher in a new history, and you will create a new future."

"Us?" Mu Chenfeng hesitated and said.

The old man nodded slightly, "That's right, you guys!"

A familiar figure appeared at the door again, Qiu Fei, who did not know when he stood at the door.

"Qiu Fei!!!" Seeing his old friend, Mu Chenfeng immediately went up to him, hugging him excitedly.

Qiu Fei also announced his participation in the NBA draft, but he is an international player, and his mock draft ranking was the 37th pick in the second round.

It has been nearly 10 years since the last time two Chinese players appeared in the draft at the same time, but it has been nearly 30 years since the last time two Chinese players appeared in the same arena in the NBA. That confrontation was between Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian.

Mu Chenfeng and Qiu Fei will participate in this NBA draft at the same time, and they are more likely to achieve a brand new "Chinese Derby".

Compared with the match between Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, the match between Qiu Fei and Mu Chenfeng is more direct. Both of them are shooting guards now, and their height and skills are very similar. If these two meet on the court, it will be very exciting, and the ratings are also expected to hit a new high.

When the name of another Chinese player appeared on the draft list, it immediately caused another shock in the league. Moreover, Qiu Fei's draft ranking is not low. For some teams that need backup shooting guards, Qiu Fei will be a good choice. Moreover, as a Chinese player, he will bring great exposure to the team, so many small ball cities have invited Qiu Fei to try out.

The Milwaukee Bucks, Memphis Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors all sent Qiu Fei training invitations.

Qiu Fei's ranking surprised Mu Chenfeng and Su Mengyao. In the past year, Qiu Fei did not go to university, but went to the European League for training, and successfully led Barcelona to beat CSKA Moscow and won the European League championship. Although Qiu Fei was not elected as the MVP, his average performance of 18.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game made him the "Best Newcomer" and successfully knocked on the door of the NBA.

Qiu Fei's skills have improved by leaps and bounds this year, his skills have become more comprehensive, and his style of play has become closer to European toughness, and his physical confrontation has been greatly improved. Compared with Mu Chenfeng, Qiu Fei's physique is simply much stronger.

If Qiu Fei did not participate in the European League, but joined an NCAA team, it would be difficult for UCLA to defend the title.

The old man looked at these two talented youngsters with a hint of joy in his eyes. His purpose of coming this time was to successfully "send" these two into the NBA. Previously, Chinese players always missed out on the NBA due to some "indescribable" reasons. This time, he did not allow such a thing to happen again.

If Mu Chenfeng and Qiu Fei can gain a firm foothold in the NBA, it will also greatly promote the CBA on the other side of the ocean. In fact, the CBA league has been a bit lonely these years. The retirement of some star players has brought the CBA to its last heyday. The CBA is also far away from the title of "the second largest league in the world" and gradually surpassed by European leagues. China urgently needs players like Mu Chenfeng and Qiu Fei to inject new strength into it. effect.

Chinese players are fully capable of gaining a foothold in the NBA arena.

Qiu Fei and Mu Chenfeng represent the pinnacle of the new generation of Chinese basketball, but not all of them. Zhang Jianing, Sun Jiawei, Zhan Yang, Liu Tianyu, Ye Lin and others all continued their basketball dreams, and under the recruitment of the Chinese Basketball Association, they all entered the CUBA League and became the reserve force of the national team. This group of players is also called the "New Golden Generation".

"Would you like to compete." Mu Chenfeng and Qiu Fei haven't met each other on the court for two years, and they are very curious about each other's strength. For two people who love basketball, heads-up is an indispensable event for the reunion after a long separation.

"Okay!" Qiu Fei decisively agreed to Mu Chenfeng's invitation to the battle, and the two walked towards the court with their equipment, which was the final warm-up for the draft trial training.

The old man looked at the backs of the two who were going away, with warm and kind eyes, "Come on, young people who created history."
