Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 4 This ball is so cool

This kind of questioning gaze has been constantly appearing around Tang Sen since he started playing basketball.

There were so many that Tang Sen had become numb and could deal with them calmly.

After all, what counts on the court is strength. Compared to the rage of helplessness, Tang Sen would rather see the disbelief and embarrassment on their faces after he beats them.

"Tang, right? I would like to ask, have you trained any famous players?" After shaking hands, Connors asked directly.

The tone was polite, but the arrogance and contempt in his words were evident.

The other three also looked at him.

Tang Sen said: "Mr. Connors, it doesn't matter which players I have trained. What matters is that I can help you. I think this is why Billy recommended me to you, because he thinks I can help Brown gain weight and help him maintain his athletic ability.
His resume did have some shortcomings, so when recruiting students, Tang Sen always kept in mind a rule, which was not to talk about the past, ignore those "unimportant" details, talk about the future, and clearly tell the other party how he could help him.

Of course, this is also a helpless conversation strategy.

If you are famous and have trained a lot of NBA stars, then there is no need to introduce yourself. They should be begging you to see if you have time.

Obviously, Connors wasn't the person Tang Sen had the most contact with. He was just an ordinary worker with a low level of education. He obviously didn't buy Tang Sen's tricks. He just smiled nonchalantly and said, "Tang, you should know how famous Brown is now. He even has the hope of becoming the number one draft pick!"

He continued with a look of pride, "So we need someone truly capable to help him continue to improve and ensure his future isn't delayed. And I heard from Billy that when you played at the University of Florida, you were just an ordinary role player, and you played guard."

The subtext of this statement is that Tang Sen is not capable enough. His level was not high when he was playing basketball, so now that he has switched careers to become a trainer, his ability naturally won't be that high either.

"After all, we paid $20,000."

He added one last sentence.

However, in Tang Sen's opinion, this sentence actually exposed Connors's embarrassment.

Tang Sen guessed that he also had no money.

To put it nicely, they are called independent agents, but in fact they have not made a name for themselves in the agent circle.

Really successful agents have already started their own agencies.

There are countless agents like Connors in the United States. They are neither up nor down in their careers and always dream of taking advantage of the top agents, discovering a genius in some corner, becoming famous overnight, and reaching the pinnacle of their lives.

And the tone of voice, as if $20,000 is a lot.

Is it too much?

Anyway, Tang Sen didn’t think it was much.

First of all, I have to spend a whole month to develop a training plan for Brown and accompany him throughout the training.

During this period, you also have to pay for your own food and accommodation, which are also costs.

Finally, you have to file taxes.

Of the 20,000 US dollars, only a little over 10,000 US dollars will actually go into his pocket.

So if he really had money and was willing to invest in Brown, he wouldn't have come to me in the first place, but would have gone directly to those famous trainers.

But I couldn't afford to hire them, so I chose myself because I was short of money.

After figuring this out, Tang Sen felt a little more confident.

"Mr. Connors, what you said is a bit unprofessional. If I was the core of the team in college and a star in the NCAA, then I should be a trainer in the NBA instead of here." Tang Sen retorted neither softly nor harshly.

If they have talent and play well, who will be the trainer?

An unnatural look flashed across Connors's face.

Without waiting for him to speak, Tang Sen continued, "As for you saying I'm a guard, I don't think that's a problem. A trainer who's a guard can also train inside players. You've been in this industry for a long time, so you should be aware of this."

Trainers make a living by using techniques, theories and experience, not by competing with players to see who plays better.

"The most important thing is that you invited me here to help Brown gain weight, not to train his skills. If you want to train his skills, then $20,000 is not enough."

Tang Sen even smiled and made a joke.

Connors frowned slightly. He was not happy with the way Tang Sen spoke, but he had to admit in his heart that what Tang Sen said was correct.

Donovan next to him also nodded secretly and gave Tang Sen a look of praise.

If Connors questioned the person he recommended, it would be equivalent to questioning himself.

Tang Sen's neither humble nor arrogant response only shows that Tang Sen's training camp is well run. He does not care too much about this $20,000 job. Then he humbly caters to Connors and is willing to come to help purely for his own face.

Just when the atmosphere was a little tense, Brown suddenly came over. He looked at Tangsen curiously, and then asked Tangsen if he was good at playing basketball and what he could teach him.

He spoke a little too bluntly, but it didn't seem intentional; he was just being straightforward.

"Okay."

Tang Sen smiled calmly, then waved at him, indicating that he should pass the ball to him. After receiving the ball, he said, "How about we play a few balls and let me see how good you are?"

No matter what you say, it all comes down to strength.

It was obvious that Connors and his men had certain doubts about him, so no matter how much he spoke, it would be better to show his strength directly.

"Okay." Brown nodded excitedly.

Connors and the others looked at each other but did not say anything to stop them.

No matter how nice Tang Sen speaks, or how many theories he is proficient in, they don't know whether he is good or bad, but they can see whether Tang Sen is good or not through his playing and his skills.

"How about I attack?"

Donson took off his suit jacket and threw it to Donovan casually, then walked onto the court with great momentum as if he was instructing a younger player.

Due to the huge height difference, it was impossible for Tang Sen to show anything on defense and he could only show his offensive ability.

Brown nodded and kindly reminded, "Sir, do you want to change your shoes?"

Tang Sen was still wearing leather shoes, slim-fitting trousers and a white shirt.

"It's okay, let's just play a simple match, mainly to understand your defensive habits."

Tang Sen rolled up his shirt sleeves and dribbled the ball twice.

Apart from the fact that the trousers were a little stuck at the crotch and the leather shoes were a little stiff, it was fine.

It was this simple dribbling action that made Brown raise his eyebrows slightly. There was no doubt that the strength and rhythm of this dribbling were definitely professional.

He opened his arms and came forward.

Although it is not completely fixed, there is not much space left.

Tang Sen turned sideways and said, "Brown, when you are defending smaller players in a mismatch, you must leave enough space because they are faster and more flexible than you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Sen started to move, pretending to dribble to the right.

Brown instinctively moved his left foot back a step to block the route, but Townsend suddenly pulled back and turned his back to the right, as if he was going to turn around and break through from the opposite direction.

In an instant, Brown reacted extremely quickly and moved to the right to block.

Unexpectedly, this was still a feint.

After half turning around, Tang Sen blew the ball with his right hand. His whole body was like a spring, lightly using his left foot as the axis. He turned around and took a step to the right rear facing the basket, then jumped up and shot.

Brown was shaken twice, and this step back successfully created space for shooting.

However, his physical fitness was really abnormal. He pulled it back forcefully, turned over and pounced on him.

He is tall, and if Tang Sen hadn't intentionally raised the arc of his shot, the ball would have been blocked.

No warm-up, but the feel is okay.

Moreover, although he retired and changed his career in recent years, Tang Sen has never given up on his skills and has been practicing them all the time.

Trainers also need to improve.

So the ball went in.

Brown, who had just landed, exclaimed excitedly, "Sir, is this Penny's trick?"

Penny Hardaway has a famous scene, which is that handsome half-turn step back.

Of course, there are many players who can use this move, but none of them is as graceful and agile as Hardaway.

Brown was surprised to find that Donson, who was wearing leather shoes and trousers, was as smooth and fluent in his movements as Hardaway.

Not only him, but Connors and others on the sidelines also looked at each other with incredible expressions on their faces.

This ball is so cool!
