pinnacle of basketball

Chapter 78 Mapo Tofu
It is still too early to discuss whether Mu Chenfeng can play in the NBA, but one thing is certain, he has been targeted by Jamil Martin.

The entire physical test lasted for 2 hours, and after insisting on completing the last test, Mu Chenfeng's stomach finally couldn't help but growl.

"I'm sorry." Mu Chenfeng rubbed his shriveled stomach, and the originally well-defined six-pack abs became blurred.

"Didn't you have dinner in the morning?" Fu Di was embarrassed for him, and was ashamed in front of so many Americans

"Go and test it." The physical test consumes a lot, and when Mu Chenfeng is growing his body, his energy will be consumed faster.

These words hit Fu Di's sore spot, why didn't he want to test it, but Martin was not interested in him at all, his little value was not worth testing.

It's okay to be a pure basketball fan. As for his career, he has never thought about it. Fu Di still has this self-knowledge.

"What do you two want to eat? I'll treat you." The grunt came to Jamil Martin's ears, so he decided to treat them to a feast.

Martin wants a treat?It’s true that the sun is coming out from the west. Martin is well-known in the scouting circle as an iron rooster. Even though his scouting rewards over the years are tens of millions, he is still very stingy.

"The big scout is going to bleed today."

"My heart is bleeding."

"We've been here for so many years, but we haven't gotten you a meal."

Martin couldn't remember how many times he had heard this, and he had long been used to it. No matter how they complained, Martin never opened his wallet.

"Make an exception today." Martin greeted Mu Chenfeng, "There is a good Chinese restaurant nearby."

Martin really has a heart. Mu Chenfeng, who is used to Chinese food, really can't accept American food. He only eats a little bit every meal. He wanted to eat some fast food, but the taste of American and Chinese fast food is still different.

As soon as he heard about eating Chinese food, Mu Chenfeng immediately became energetic.

Chinese Restaurant! ! !The familiar Chinese plaque looked friendly at Bel, and he could smell the aroma of food from the restaurant from afar.

"It smells like that." Fu Di said naively, his eyes glowed with gold when he saw all kinds of dishes, and people would drool just because of the pictures.

Sit down and order.

The task of ordering food fell to Fu Di. As a senior foodie, he has a unique preference for food.

"Meat! Meat! Meat! How can there be no meat on the table." Passing over the vegetarian dishes in front, Fu Di went straight to the meat dishes and tried his best. "I want all the pot-wrapped pork, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, boiled pork slices, and Buddha jumping over the wall."

Mu Chenfeng put his hand on the menu and winked, "You don't need that much, you can't finish it."

Looking at Martin again, his expression was not quite right. Leaving aside whether the dishes Fu Di ordered were delicious or not, the price was really good and the quantity was large. Martin had a faint feeling that his wallet was about to suffer.

"Ah, then let's eat some local delicacies." Fu Di curled his lips. Since he said that he didn't want to spend money on a treat, what kind of a treat is this? He just ordered a cheap dish and handed over the menu. He only hoped that Mu Chenfeng could order decent dishes, at least with meat.

Seeing that people with open eyes for money are so realistic, Fu Di's face immediately brightened when he heard that Fu Di only ordered one local three delicacies, and his wallet was saved.

"What about you?" Martin asked.

"Me?" Mu Chenfeng was stunned, thinking of Martin's expression just now, Mu Chenfeng had the answer in his heart, "Let's mapo tofu."

Mapo tofu is the cheapest dish in the shop.

He thought that Mu Chenfeng could order some technical dishes, but it turned out to be just a plate of ordinary mapo tofu, which wasted Fu Di's full expectations.

One ground three delicacies and one mapo tofu, all vegetarian dishes, not even a little bit of meat.

"Ma Po Tofu." Mu Chenfeng was able to order this dish out of dozens of dishes, which surprised Martin, "I have a Chinese friend who also likes this dish very much."

Come on, Fu Di rolled his eyes, he was stingy.

The food was the cheapest, but it didn't affect Fu Di's appetite. The food was put on the table, but in a blink of an eye, it was half-empty. Fu Di never stopped chopsticks, and he barely ate half full after devouring it.

It's as if he finished the rigid body test.

Putting down the chopsticks, looking at the bare plates on the dining table, Fu Di's tongue puffed around his lips without leaving any residue, "It tastes really good, but I'm not full."

Mu Chenfeng snorted, "I'll let you eat it all by yourself, and you're still not full."

Both Martin and Mu Chenfeng only ate a little bit, trying to keep their stomachs from feeling hungry.

"By the way, what are you guys doing in Chicago?" Martin asked, changing the subject.

"Play." Fu Di rushed to answer.

"I'm here to participate in the Naismith training camp." Mu Chenfeng replied.

"What's the training camp?" Fu Di didn't hear clearly, and asked again.

"Participate? I haven't heard that there are Chinese players joining the training camp this year." Since the training camp is jointly held with the NBA, it aims to help the team better understand the players' abilities and help them grow. Before the game, the training camp will distribute player information to the management and scouts of each team, but Mu Chenfeng's name is not included in the list that Martin got.

"I received a special invitation."

"Oh~" Martin made a long ending sound. It's no wonder why there is no Mu Chenfeng in the player list. People with special invitation letters are not allowed to directly participate in the training camp, and can only watch from the sidelines as spectators.

"But why do you have a special invitation letter?" Martin was puzzled why the invitation letter appeared in the hands of this distant Chinese boy. He remembered that there was only one such invitation letter in China.

And that person's name was not Mu Chenfeng.

"It was given to me by the coach." Mu Chenfeng explained the origin of the invitation letter, "I was also surprised when I got it."

"What's your coach's name?" Martin asked anxiously.

"Fang Tianzheng, Coach Fang." Mu Chenfeng spoke clearly.

"Your coach is Fang Tianzheng!" Martin raised his voice, "No wonder."

"Do you know Coach Fang?"

"It's more than just acquaintance." When Fang Tianzheng was mentioned, Martin had a sad face. He was the pain of Martin's life. Back then, he conquered Jameer Martin with his talent. At that time, he was still a scout for the Utah Jazz. He took a fancy to Fang Tianzheng at first sight and planned to bring him to the NBA.

Later, due to various reasons, Fang Tianzheng resolutely chose to return to China, and never set foot on American soil again.

"He still hasn't come." Martin was a little disappointed.

The sender of this special invitation is Jamil Martin.

Every time the United States organizes such a large-scale training camp, Martin will ask the organizer for an invitation letter, and then mail it to Fang Tianzheng, hoping that one day he will be able to set foot on American soil again, and talk to him about why he gave up back then.

The emails were sent again and again, but no response was received. Fang Tianzheng still didn't come this time, but he sent Mu Chenfeng.

"Your friend who likes mapo tofu is Coach Fang."

Martin nodded slightly.

"The coach didn't give up his dream, let alone basketball." Mu Chenfeng explained Fang Tian's current situation in China to Martin, and finally added, "He is fine now."
