Chapter 22 Industry Leaders
Tim Floyd next to him turned his head and looked at Klaus.

He also thought Klaus was crazy.

If I draw the number one pick this year, I'd just choose a high school student.

But the Bulls don’t have that fate!

Since that’s the case, just accept your fate.

He doesn't.

Krause wants to trade for the No. 1 pick.

The question is how much this will cost.

As Krause's "fishing friend", Floyd had never had a good time with the Bulls.

He has always been regarded by Krause as Jackson's backup.

When he came to the Bulls, the conflict between Krause and Jackson broke out completely, and he said that no matter whether the next win was 82 or 0, he had to get out.

Then Rodman and Pippen were gone again.

As a college coach, Floyd had no deterrent power. Even retired Jordan mocked himself as "pink."

So Floyd not only took over the mess of the Bulls, but was also forced to accept Jackson's assistant coaching staff.

Because Krause and Tex Winter both firmly believed that the Bulls' success was not entirely due to Jordan, but to the triangle offense.

As a result, after only one season, Winter, realizing that the triangle offense was simply not working without Jordan, simply quit and went to the Lakers to join Jackson.

Then just turn around. Floyd doesn't like the triangle offense anyway.

In the past two years, it seemed that the team was slowly getting on the right track as he had envisioned, and rookies like Brand and Artest had also performed well. However, Krause suddenly became violent and said that he would not hesitate to send anyone away.

So what have I done for these two years of hard work?
Klaus clearly has his own ideas.

"I've been saying, we need a real genius!"

His tone was always filled with persuasive momentum. He said, "We are the great Bulls. Our goal should always be the championship. If we just return to the playoffs and become a strong team in the middle of the league, that will be meaningless to us."

"If you're not a champion, you're a failure!"

"We have some good players, but I don't think they can help us win the championship. What we need is a real genius who can lead us to revival. Believe me, we have such a genius this year!"

"So all the sacrifices are worth it because I know what we are doing."

He finished speaking passionately.

Freud scoffed in his heart.

He felt that the Bulls were too glorious, like the Beatles of basketball, so he developed a mentality of championship supremacy.

Mediocrity and becoming an ordinary team in the league is something Krause absolutely cannot tolerate.

But Freud noticed that Reinsdorf seemed somewhat persuaded.

"Jerry, do you think Brown is the person we need? I have watched his game videos and his skills seem very rough." Reinsdorf said.

Klaus said without hesitation: "Of course, my vision is not wrong."

"Okay, let's discuss it after the tryout tomorrow," Reinsdorf said.

Ultimately it all depends on the tryout performance.

The tryout was scheduled for 9 a.m. the next day at the United Center.

In a corner of the training hall, Donson and Moore were preparing things for Brown.

For example, the equipment used for warm-up, and energy bars and functional drinks for replenishing energy between tests.

At this time, Connors, who was interviewing reporters on behalf of Brown, came back.

"What's wrong? Did a reporter say something bad about Brown?" Tang Sen noticed that his expression was not very good.

Connors waved his hands irritably and said, "It's not Brown, it's you. Damn bastard, you actually questioned my judgment in selecting a trainer. Damn it!"

Then he reminded her, "Tang, I think some reporters might want to make a story about you. You might as well not interview them to avoid them talking nonsense."

Tang Sen was stunned for a moment.

I am just an unknown trainer, but I am also being followed by reporters?
It seems that the New York Times report had a significant impact.

"It's okay." Tang Sen waved his hands and didn't care at all.

Tang Sen didn't care, but Brown next to him was a little unhappy and shouted, "Sir, just wait, wait until I become the number one pick, I will tell everyone that the reason I became the number one pick is because of you, you are the best trainer in the world."

Tang Sen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Perhaps because they get along well, Brown is now particularly protective of himself.

"You should worry about your opponent."

Tang Sen looked to the other side of the field.

Eddy Curry has arrived and is making preparations with his team.

Tang Sen had seen his photo, but it was not as shocking as meeting him in person.

This guy is seven feet tall and three hundred pounds, like a big black bear!

"Come on, warm up."

Tang Sen asked Brown to warm up, starting with some basic stretching exercises to activate his core muscles.

Then increase the intensity.

Static long lunges with weights, single-leg deadlifts, etc., followed by dynamic jumping jacks, continuous big jumps, and finally pushing a hexagonal barbell and doing two sets of heavy squats.

According to the theory of contrast training, these movements can improve explosive power performance in a short period of time, which is beneficial for subsequent physical tests.

While watching Brown warming up, Tang Sen noticed a middle-aged white man wearing a Bulls training uniform walk over, stand beside him, and observe Brown's warm-up curiously.

He strolled over from Eddy Curry's side.

Their eyes met, and he took the initiative to walk over, smiled, extended his hand and introduced himself.

Fred Tedeschi.

Currently the head trainer for the Chicago Bulls.

Industry leader!
Tang Sen instantly became energetic.

There are only 29 teams in the entire NBA, and those who can become head trainers are undoubtedly the real bigwigs in the training industry.

It has almost reached the top of the industry.

"Hello, my name is Tang Sen." Tang Sen introduced himself modestly.

"I know you."

Tedeschi, 50, with deep wrinkles around his eyes when he smiles, said, "I read the New York Times article. They said you're a liar."

Tang Sen felt embarrassed.

The New York Times has such a huge influence.

Should I sue the New York Times later? That report is simply tarnishing my reputation.

Even if I don't have any reputation yet.

"It doesn't matter. Reporters will only exaggerate. And as trainers, we never need the approval of reporters. As long as the players approve of us, that's enough." He pointed at Brown.

After that report came out, Brown's team still chose to keep Tangsen, which only means that Tangsen's training was recognized by them.

To Tedeschi, that’s what matters most.

"By the way, did you really beat your students?" he asked again curiously.

Tang Sen quickly shook his head and explained.

Tedeschi shrugged empathetically: "It's a headache to play against less talented players."

As he spoke, he suddenly pointed at Brown.

"Don, why did you put such a heavy load on Brown during warm-ups? Is there any special reason? Aren't you afraid that he might get hurt?"

During the warm-up phase, the body is cold. Doing intense jumping movements and heavy squats like Tang Sen does will increase the risk of injury.

He joined the Bulls in 93 and became Chip Shafer's assistant. Like Chip Shafer, he paid great attention to the health management of the players.

Tang Sen thought for a while and introduced the theory of contrast training method.

"Training theory for track and field?"

He raised his eyebrows slightly, showing great interest, and said, "Tang, can you leave me your email address? Could you send me some information on comparative training methods so I can learn from them?"

"Row."

Tang Sen didn't mind sharing. It was a public theory, he just didn't pay attention to it.

The two exchanged contact information, and Tedeschi said goodbye and left to prepare for the physical examination.

"Don, I'm looking forward to Brown's performance."

He gave an encouraging word.

Tedeschi had a recent, fairly accurate scouting report, but he was more curious about whether Brown had changed after a month of training with Townsend.

After the two finished warming up, the physical test began immediately.

At Tang Sen's request, Brown changed the order of physical tests.

Some dynamic physical tests were carried out first.

For example, jumping, 3/4 court sprint and so on.

The improvement effect of contrast training will not last long, so you should test it as soon as possible.

With the system, Donson knows Brown's physical condition clearly.

But the Bulls didn't know.

So when Brown took a run-up, jumped and jumped to 3.64 meters, Klaus and others who were present were shocked.

Because the scouting report in their hands showed that in mid-April, when Brown decided to participate in the draft, his maximum running reach was only 3.58 meters.

Now it has increased by 6 centimeters in one go.

In less than two months, he couldn't have grown taller.

Then there is only one explanation, Brown's jumping ability has improved!
