Chapter 4: Visitors from the United States

"Pass!"

"Pick-and-roll!"

"Keep moving, don't stop!"

"Rebounding Ball Rebounding Ball!!"

In the U17 training hall of the national youth team, the team training match is underway.

"Run an eagle!"

Chen Jianghua, the point guard of the white team, is controlling the ball in the front court, he slapped the ball with his right hand, and made a general action similar to the number "six" with his left hand, but the three fingers in it were not completely retracted, but stretched out forward, and the movement of the whole palm was like an eagle soaring with wings.

Seeing Chen Jianghua's gestures, everyone in the white team began to run. Dragged by the constant off-ball runs, the shooting guard came to the baseline and made a covering move.

"Chen Mu, you come this ball!"

After eyeing the scoring guard, Chen Mu comprehended, and immediately turned around and ran back and rushed out.

The red team players defending Chen Mu were firmly covered by the white team's scoring guard, and the red team's scoring guard hurriedly followed, took a few steps forward, and stopped Chen Mu from running back to the basket again.

Dislocation achieved!

Chen Jianghua made a high-profile and gave the ball to Chen Mu steadily, Chen Mu received the ball outside the three-second area, made a back movement, and prepared to play singles.

"The strong side pulls away, the number four singles!"

Chen Jianghua gave tactical instructions loudly, signaling the players to open up enough space for Chen Mu to play alone.

Chen Mu dribbled the ball, leaned back, felt the position of the defenders, and then began to advance step by step, crushing in with his back.

The Eagles tactic is a very basic offensive movement method, although it involves a lot of more complex running skills, but the ultimate goal is to create a misplaced single opportunity for outside attackers.

And this time, the white team's scoring guard lacks singles and is basically just a shooter, so when executing, Chen Mu and the scoring guard made a simple change, the two of them covered the running position on the bottom line, created defensive misalignment, and then Chen Mu carried out the back single.

"Don't think about it!"

Behind Chen Mu, although the scoring guard of the red team is far from Chen Mu in height, his basic skills are very solid, and he is the main scoring guard of the U17 national youth team. I saw him sit low at the waist, push forward fiercely, leaning behind Chen Mu, and there was no big problem in defense.

"Bang, bang, bang"

Chen Mu dribbled the ball, crushed inward, relied on the advantage of height and weight, easily came to the basket, and turned around to make a shot.

"Dang!"

The basketball flew in the air, hit the rebound, and bounced, but it didn't go into the frame, but smashed into the side of the basket, and then bounced high.

"Dididi"

As soon as Chen Mu made a move, a prompt sound had already sounded in his head, and a green light flashed in front of him, and the ring came as scheduled, flashing rapidly above the heads of the defending players.

"Rebound!"

The red team's inside line has been dragged out by the white team's outside players, and it is too late to return to the restricted area to grab rebounds, so they have to shout loudly, hoping that the team's outside players can rush to grab rebounds.

Behind Chen Mu, several footsteps sounded, obviously the opposing player was coming to rush, he hurriedly turned around, blocked the opponent's sprint route with a broad back, and then stretched out his long arm and stretched his hand into the ring.

"Smack!"

easily got the rebound, Chen Mu didn't put down his hands, and immediately shot again.

"Dang!"

There was another sound of "striking iron", Chen Mu's shot was very stiff, obviously shooting was not his strong point, and he couldn't control the power of this ball, and simply smashed to the front of the basket.

"Rebound!"

At this time, the opposing post player has returned to the basket and can compete for rebounds at any time, but unfortunately, there is no ring cue in their minds.

"Dididi"

The ring flashed in the air not far in front of the basket, Chen Mu smiled slightly, moved a step laterally, stretched out his left hand into the ring, and took the rebound into his arms again.

"Hey, I don't believe it!"

Grabbing the rebound, Chen Mu took his right foot as the axis, turned around and came to the right side of the basket in a dashing way, and then shot with a sky hook.

"Whew"

The ball flew high in the air, and everyone watched the trajectory of the ball with both eyes, but Chen Mu stepped down in a few steps, and came to the left side of the basket at some point.

"Grandma's, the technique of this body is too poor, the hand feels stiff, and it is not soft at all!"

Secretly scolding himself in his heart, the ring in Chen Mu's eyes still flickered, this time it landed on the left side of the basket, very close to the hoop of the basket, Chen Mu had already thought of the way to score in his heart.

Coming to the bottom of the ring, Chen Mu did not hesitate to rise from the ground, a dry land onion jumped high, and his hands reached the ring.

"When~"

Sure enough, the basketball still failed to enter the frame, and with a light tap on the left side of the basket, it fell accurately in the direction of the ring.

"You're welcome~"

Chen Mu chuckled in his heart, grabbed the basketball firmly in the air with both hands, and then smashed it into the basket that was close at hand.

"Bang!"

The dunk was so crisp that the entire hoop was shaking, and the basketball smashed down and slammed on the ground with a crisp sound.

"Good job~"

Chen Jianghua clenched his fists slightly, and slapped his hands with Chen Mu, who was striding towards his own half, and the two ran to the basket with a smile.

"This guy ......!"

The RED team members watched with hatred, grabbed the basketball and slammed the floor a few times, reluctantly returning to the baseline to serve.

"Click, click"

And Chen Mu's wonderful performance was also recorded by countless cameras on the sidelines, and reporters took pictures and videos one after another, for fear of missing every performance of Chen Mu.

"White team No. 5 Chen Mu, rebounds plus 3, points plus 2."

There are reporters on the sidelines who have volunteered to be recorders, but there are only two names on this statistical table.

"In the seventeenth minute of the team's training match, Chen Jianghua scored 11 points and 3 assists, Chen Mu scored 8 points, and ......"

The reporter calculated carefully, and then showed a look of surprise on his face, looked up at Chen Mu, who was running and defending on the court, and muttered in a low voice: "18 rebounds ......!" ”

"Smack!"

Just when this reporter was surprised, Chen Mu had already picked up another defensive rebound and handed the ball to Chen Jianghua to attack. Another reporter on the side patted the stunned reporter on the shoulder, shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's already 19 rebounds......"

On the court, the game was still going on, and by the door of the stadium, a foreign face probe kept looking in, taking pictures with the camera from time to time, and the lens was all aimed at Chen Mu without exception.

"Sir, non-media personnel are not allowed to take pictures and videos here."

A staff member found out about the situation and politely asked the foreigner to leave, the foreigner hurriedly took out a business card, hurriedly handed it to the staff, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said in a lame Chinese: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was introduced by Boss Yao, haha......"

"Boss Yao, Boss Liu, Boss Li, it's all the same, you can't take pictures and videos here!" The staff shook their heads, half-pushing and half-inviting to invite the other party out of the door.

"Wait a minute."

A commotion attracted the attention of the coach, who walked to the foreigner in a few steps, took the business card and looked at it, then nodded to the staff and said, "I did receive a call before, let him in." ”

"Thank you, thank you."

The foreigner is quite tall, with a humble and shrewd expression, and looks like a typical businessman.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Bill Duffy of Team Yao?"

After sitting down, the coach chatted with foreigners while watching the game on the field.

"Yes, I'm Bill Duffy, but I'm not just a partner of Team Yao......"

Bill Duffy smiled slightly, took out a delicately bound booklet, handed it to the coach, and said, "I am still the head of BDA Sports Agency Co., Ltd. in the United States. ”

"There are really a lot of stars under it......"

The coach flipped through the pamphlet and read out the names one by one: "Prince, Jae Williams, Gooden...... And Steve Nash? ”

"Hehe, that's right, because Boss Yao has his own team, we can only be regarded as a cooperative relationship, so Nash is my biggest customer at the moment, an All-Star player, and the MVP of the season!" Bill Duffy smiled slyly, "Nash and I are alumni, and it was not easy to sign the contract with this relationship." ”

"Your company is great, but I don't quite understand it." The coach put away the booklet, frowned and asked, "Why are you here for our U17 national youth team?" ”

"In your Chinese parlance, it's Puyu."

Bill Duffy's eyes instantly glowed, and he looked up at the court, as if he was looking at a rising star, and he looked a little excited.

"I'm here for Puyu......!"

"Smack!"

On the court, Chen Mu picked up another offensive rebound, and then turned around and hit the basket, which brought his technical statistics to 12 points and 24 rebounds.

And all of this is the data obtained in 20 minutes of non-stop training matches.

Since Chen Mu became famous in the United States, all his background information has been turned out. This domestic power forward, who has the physical fitness to be in line with international standards, has become a popular figure in major sports media for a while.

He has excellent physical fitness, a well-proportioned body, a large skeleton with a weight gain base, and poor skills, but he has a miraculous rebounding skill. Chen Mu's birth has not only become a hot topic of discussion among domestic media and fans, but also sparked discussions in the basketball country on the other side of the ocean. But there are very few brokers like Bill Duffy who come directly to China to negotiate in person.

Three days later, the U17 national youth team held a press conference to announce that Chen Mu, a rising star in the team and a power forward who had just performed well in the United States, had signed a contract with BDA Sports Agency Co., Ltd., becoming the first Chinese player to sign a contract with this large agency.

Chen Mu's name then appeared in the 2005 NBA Draft roster, and he became the youngest player in this draft under the age of 17. After the NBA announced that it would no longer recruit high school players starting in 2006, Chen Mu boarded a flight to the United States with the hopes of 1.3 billion Chinese people.

The 2005 NBA Draft is about to begin.
