"Drink, ah, ah, !!"

Chen Mu roared angrily and flew up, rising into the air like a rocket from behind the wolf king Garnett, raising his right hand high, and slapping it with all his strength against the basketball flying in the air.

"Smack!"

The basketball was slapped by Chen Mu and smashed on the rebound, facing Garnett's surprised eyes, Chen Mu jumped up again after landing and grabbed the basketball that had been ejected.

“…… Wow!!!! ”

A pegboard hat......!!!

Rookie Chen Mu gave a wonderful performance at the last moment of the game, taking advantage of Garnett's exhaustion. The big hat was recorded by the cameras on the sidelines, and the media reporters were instantly cheered up, and they all remembered this goal as a small tidbit in the post-match report.

"Ahhh......!!!hhh

After passing the rebounding ball, Chen Mu roared angrily, and throughout the game, he had been teased by Garnett on the defensive end, although he did not fall behind in rebounding, but this feeling of "can't prevent the opponent no matter what" was very difficult.

And this cap finally made Chen Mu breathe a bad breath, he couldn't suppress the excitement and heroism in his heart, and kept roaring angrily.

"Beep, beep!"

In the roar of Chen Mu, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and the Phoenix Suns won against the Timberwolves on the road, extending their winning streak to three games.

“……”

There was silence in the center of the target, and everyone was saddened by the wolf king's solo fight.

On the other hand, there was the ecstasy of the Suns, who had a rough start and the Timberwolves' tactics were once successful in pushing the Suns into a corner. However, with the outstanding performance of Chen Mu, a rookie from the bench, the team finally came from behind and won the victory without danger, and the joy brought by this kind of hard work is immeasurable.

"Chen! Old! Old! Old! ”

The Sun players formed a circle, surrounded Chen Mu in the middle, and constantly cheered for Chen Mu.

Chen Mu was like a hero, surrounded by his teammates, smiling, until coach D'Antoni urged, everyone reluctantly dispersed and left the court from the players' tunnel.

The next day, all the NBA reports in the sports media mentioned that this game was not too suspenseful, and the powerful Suns won three consecutive victories away from home against the Timberwolves, who have been in decline recently.

At the end of the game, rookie Chen Mu slapped a nailboard hat and fanned the Wolf King Garnett's must-score goal to the rebound, which was repeatedly played by countless media.

"Chinese boy, the next Yao?"

Some media outlets have made such headlines, and after making a name for himself in China a few months ago, Chen Mu's name has finally made a name for himself in the United States. Many American media have begun to pay attention to this little-known rookie, and fans have also begun to discuss whether the Suns will sign Chen Mu until the end of the season after the ten-day short contract ends.

Far away on the other side of the ocean, in China, the news of Chen Mu's explosive success in the NBA also spread all over the Internet in an instant. In the major sports forums, discussion posts about Chen Mu can be seen everywhere.

"[In all fairness] what kind of height can Chen Mu reach?"

"[Absolute superstar] come and guess which player is playing this stat?"

"[Super Duel] is Uncle Mu? Or Camby? If Chen Mu develops scoring ability, will he be able to reach McHale's level? ”

All kinds of discussion posts have emerged one after another, and fans have been discussing Chen Mu's performance, five games, with an average playing time of less than 20 minutes per game, but he can get double-digit rebounds. This kind of shocking performance has aroused many people's imagination.

"If Chen Mu returns to China after a period of training in the NBA, will he be able to enter the national team? Who is stronger, he or Yi Jianlian? If there is Chen Mu, how strong will the inside strength of the Chinese team be? ”

Chinese fans rejoiced and wondered what kind of heights the Chinese team's powerful inside combination could lead the Chinese team to the Olympic Games and World Championships in the future.

However, there are also some fans and experts who are very optimistic about Chen Mu's future.

“…… Chen's rebounding nose is a rarity in history, I admit it, but it's matched by his incredible offensive skills. ”

On the TV screen, NBA expert Bill Simmons is analyzing the future development of Chen Mu, who has been rising in popularity recently.

It is not difficult to judge from his words that this NBA expert, who is obsessed with data analysis, is pessimistic about Chen Mu's future development.

"I have a statistic on my hand that is Chen's shooting distribution in five games with the Suns, as well as shooting efficiency."

With Simmons' words, a shot heat map appeared on the screen, and as far as the eye could see, the green signs indicating that the hits were pitiful, and all of them were concentrated in the area under the basket. The red flag, which symbolizes a missed shot, is several times more numerous than the green one.

"Although it seems that Chen's shooting percentage is not too bad on this table, after all, we have all seen Ryan Bowen of the Rockets, hahaha......"

Chen Mu remembers the player Simmons was talking about, the swingman with a desperate Saburo defensive style who made a name for himself in the 2004-2005 playoffs against the Mavericks for his successful defensive performance against Nowitzki.

However, in the 2005-2006 season, Bowen's lack on the offensive end was on full display, averaging only 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds per game, and his shooting percentage dropped to less than 30 percent. In particular, the three-point shooting rate is a mythical 13.6 percent.

"Remember what everyone said about Bowen after the Rockets' fierce battle against the Mavericks in the playoffs last season?" Simmons continued: "Players who have hard work, don't admit defeat, don't give up, defensive giants, team players who can't be measured by numbers, players who can change the game without offensive ability, right? ”

"But what about this season? The NBA isn't what it used to be, old man. ”

The corners of Simmons' mouth raised slightly, revealing a sly smile and said, "If you only fight defense and don't attack, you can't survive in the league." Even Ben Wallace can dunk that damn ball into the basket with a small amount of confrontation under the basket. And what about Chen? Like Bowen, without the slightest offensive ability, he can't stay in this talented league for long just by relying on defense and hard work. ”

Seeing this, Chen Mu sighed slightly.

He vaguely remembers that Bowen was swept away by the Rockets from 2005 to 2006, after the end of his current season, and went to the overseas league.

Although the official statement given by the Rockets is because Bowen underwent hip surgery and failed to make it to training camp for the new season. But anyone can see that this is just a clumsy excuse.

The lack of offensive ability is the real reason why Bowen was abandoned by the Rockets.

In the following years, although Bowen also joined the Hornets and Thunder, he never had a chance to shine.

Even in the years when he was in the overseas league, Bowen only averaged a few points per game.

Although Chen Mu's offensive ability may be a little better than Bowen's, Chen Mu knows very well that the shortcomings of his current offensive skills are the key to the problem.

"When"

Just as Chen Mu was watching the TV and shaking his mind, a graceful figure appeared in front of his eyes, and a cup of tea that was not very common in a foreign country was placed on the table.

"Brother Mu, drink tea~"

Su Yin smiled sweetly at Chen Mu, on his pretty face, there was a flashing of youthful breath, and the breath of the cherry in his small mouth was like an orchid, blowing past Chen Mu's side, like a gust of breeze, which made him feel a lot more energetic in an instant.

"Thank you, Yin'er."

Chen Mu smiled and thanked him, took a sip of tea, and Su Yin also sat down beside Chen Mu generously, and the two friends of the same age talked happily.

Since the last time I met Boss Su and Su Yin in the electrical appliance store, the contact between Chen Mu and Su Yin has become more and more frequent. In just a few days, the two have sent many text messages.

Su Yin, who grew up in the United States, introduced all aspects of the United States to Chen Mu and helped Chen Mu integrate into this society as soon as possible.

Chen Mu, who came from the motherland, introduced the old and new looks of China to Su Yin, and said a few Chinese jokes from time to time, which made Su Yin lean forward and backward, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Brother Mu, will you stay in Phoenix?"

After chatting for a long time, Su Yin still asked the question he was most concerned about.

Under the discipline of his strict father since he was a child, although Su Yin is a flower at the beginning of her life, she has never been in love. Finally, there is a boy who does not let his father resist to approach, and the girl's heart also has strange emotions.

But if Chen Mu can't stay and wants to leave Phoenix City, perhaps, the fate of the two will end here.

"This ......"

Facing Su Yin's question, Chen Mu didn't know how to answer for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know ...... either."

The time has come to December 16, 2005, and according to the contract, today is the last day of Chen Mu's ten-day short contract.

Previously, agent Duffy told Chen Mu that if the team intended to renew the contract, he would usually be called to the manager's office with Chen Mu before 3 p.m. to discuss the contract renewal.

And if the contract can't be renewed, the manager will ask Chen Mu to go alone, because there is no contract to sign, so naturally there is no need for the agent to be present to cause trouble.

"Doodoo Doo"

While thinking about it, Chen Mu's mobile phone rang, and Su Yin said sorry, Chen Mu immediately jumped up from his seat, took three steps and two steps to the door of the electrical appliance store, picked up the phone and said: "Hello Mr. Colangelo, I am Chen Mu!" ”

“……”

Bryan Colangelo, who was the manager of the Suns at the time and had just won the Best Manager award last season for signing Nash, hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Chen, I'm sorry to inform you that the Suns don't plan to renew your contract." ”

“……！！！”

Colangelo's words were tantamount to a bolt from the blue, Chen Mu was stunned in place, unable to accept this fact for a while.

Chen Mu has performed well in previous competitions, and even won several games, but his requirements are not high. He didn't expect to be able to sign a long-term contract right away, thinking that he would probably sign another 10-day contract.

didn't expect that the Suns would finally give up his ......!

"It was a pleasure to work with you, you gave us a great time." Colangelo continued: "But the Suns have always been an offense-oriented team, and what we need is endless offensive firepower. And your offensive ability is insufficient, which has a certain conflict with our team building philosophy. ”

"We appreciate your contributions to the Suns, but Kort is well and according to the doctor's report, Amare will be back around the All-Star break, so our interior is full."

At this point, Colangelo was stunned again, and the shrewd manager weighed his words before continuing: "I sincerely wish you the best of luck in your future career path, and I hope that you will have the opportunity to work together again in the future, goodbye." ”

"Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot"

Listening to the sound of the phone being hung up, Chen Mu didn't say a word, put away his phone and hung his head.

Offensive...... Offensive......

In his life, Chen Mu had never been so eager to have even one offensive means.

It's not enough to rebound, I need to be stronger, I need to be able to contribute on the offensive end to survive in this league of the jungle!

"Ding"

Just when Chen Mu secretly made up his mind, a system prompt sound that he hadn't seen for a long time came, and a prompt bar appeared in front of Chen Mu's eyes.

"Complete Career Mission: Complete a 10-Day Contract."

"Start a virtual bootcamp: Dread Room."
