Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 56: More talented than you, and harder working than you

In the end, the Wizards defeated the Magic 91-85 in the third game of the Summer League.

Brown shot 11 of 21 and scored a game-high 27 points.

He also grabbed 12 rebounds and blocked four shots.

This performance is worthy of the title of top scholar.

Therefore, as soon as the game ended, the reporters who were waiting on the sidelines rushed up impatiently and surrounded Brown.

"I felt good. You know, Don has been helping me with my training. He told me how to defend, so you saw that I blocked a lot of shots and helped us win the game."

Brown now often mentions Townsend's name deliberately when he is interviewed.

So much so that Tang Sen was often reported, and many people knew that Brown had a trainer from China.

Even the day before yesterday, ESPN wrote a special report to dig into Tang Sen's past.

Of course, they did not mention the incident of Tang Sen beating students as reported by the New York Times.

Instead, a considerable amount of space was devoted to describing how Tang Sen was once a basketball genius, but was unable to make it to the NBA due to his limited physical talent.

They even found out that Carter was Tang Sen's younger brother in high school in the mainland.

Even Carter didn't know where he got Tang Sen's phone number, so he called him and exchanged a few polite words.

At this time, a reporter asked about Jordan.

After the first game against the Nets, Jordan publicly accepted an interview with reporters and praised Brown, who scored 22 points and 16 rebounds.

His original words were exaggerated.

He said that after watching the game video and seeing Brown grabbing rebounds one after another, his scalp tingled and he couldn't help but say to Collins beside him, "Look, he is the next Rodman."

He also said that he was a little angry during the draft, so he said that angry remark.

But he later spoke with Brown and now the two have no problems.

He particularly likes Brown and believes that he will become an All-Star level center and bring a brilliant future to the Wizards.

It was even said that he made the decision to choose Brown during the first tryout.

So Brown is the No. 1 pick he chose.

When Jordan was mentioned, the smile in Brown's eyes disappeared instantly.

Now when he sees Jordan praising himself in various ways in the newspaper, he feels disgusted.

However, Donson and Connors also advised him to cooperate with Jordan at this time. Regardless of whether he could be traded in the future, it was definitely not the right choice to go against Jordan at this time.

So Brown suppressed his inner nausea, said a few polite words to thank Jordan for his attention, and then hurriedly squeezed past the reporters and left.

"Brown, let's find a place to celebrate later?" Etan Thomas, the team's starting power forward, came up and made an active invitation.

He was a lottery pick last year, but had bad luck. He was ruled out for his rookie season due to a toe bone spur and only returned to play this year.

On the other side, Courtney Alexander also came over with another rookie, Bobby Simmons.

The latter was a second-round pick selected by the SuperSonics and then traded to the Wizards.

Although Brown is a rookie, second-year players like Thomas and Alexander did not bully him, and even took the initiative to talk to him and make friends with him.

Not to mention Jordan's love for Brown, they have also seen how Brown performed in the past few games.

There is no doubt that Brown will definitely be fully trained by the Wizards and may become the team leader in the future.

Then how can these role players find it difficult to feel comfortable and give Brown a hard time?

Brown subconsciously wanted to nod, but he caught sight of a figure out of the corner of his eye and immediately changed his tone: "Well, I have to practice some more later, you guys go by yourselves."

He saw Tang Sen.

Although he played games, one game a day, Tang Sen's training did not stop because the summer league ended early.

Thomas and Alexander looked at each other and didn't force it.

There was even some admiration in his eyes.

Anyway, as far as they know, Brown has been training without stopping since he was selected as the No. 1 pick.

It is said that Jordan even went to give Brown personal guidance. But no matter what, just for this training attitude, he deserves their admiration.

He is more talented than you and works harder than you. It’s unfair!
"Then keep going." Alexander hugged Brown. He also wanted to try hard, but he didn't have the self-control that Brown had.

At this time, Bobby Simmons hesitated, took a few steps back, came to Brown, and asked in a low voice: "Brown, how much does your trainer charge?"

Seeing Brown was stunned for a moment, he explained: "I saw media reports that he is very good, so I also want to train with you."

Not to mention the current media attention, just look at the progress and changes Brown has made since he announced the draft. Although not earth-shaking, they are not far off.

Such great progress is obviously due to Tang Sen’s contribution.

That in turn naturally proves Tang Sen's ability.

Simmons is a second-round pick and has not signed with a team yet. He also wants to improve!
Brown had a moment of excitement.

He trained with Tang Sen every day and was "tortured" by Tang Sen. How he wished he had a training partner who could suffer with him.

"Are you sure you want to find Tang? Anyway, I pay him $50,000 a month, but he is very capable, so it's worth it." Brown hurriedly introduced Tang Sen's capabilities.

"How many?"

Simmons widened his eyes. Fifty thousand dollars a month, are you making trouble?

He is a second-round pick. Even if he signs a contract, his annual salary is only more than 300,000 US dollars. After deducting taxes, he will only get half of it, which is 50,000 US dollars a month. I can't even afford to hire him even if I sell him.

"never mind."

Simmons patted Brown on the back and left angrily.

No wonder Brown has improved so quickly, it really is true that you get what you pay for.

After changing his clothes and signing autographs for a few waiting fans, Tang Sen waited outside the stadium.

"Wow, you've become a star now, and people are asking you for autographs." Tang Sen joked.

Brown grinned.

Just now, a blonde girl asked him to take a photo with her. She was much prettier than his angry girlfriend who he had not contacted for a long time.

"Still laughing!"

Tang Sen snorted coldly, and with a stern expression, he lectured, "Do you think you performed well today? Yes, you beat up that Hunter, but is that worth being happy about?"

"He's the 15th pick in the first round, and you're the top pick. If you can't even beat him, how dare you call yourself the top pick!"

After the lesson, Brown immediately put away his smile, lowered his head with a sad face, and didn't dare to look at Tang Sen again.

"And then when the Magic brought in that rookie, what was your performance like? You couldn't get a spot under the basket, and you were out of position in the low post. You missed several shots in a row, and you only got a few points from free throws. If it were me, I wouldn't be happy."

Before Hunter left the game at the end of the third quarter, Brown had already scored 23 points.

He scored 27 points in the game.

That is to say, in the last quarter, under Haywood's defense, he only scored a total of 4 points.

Facing a player like Haywood who is big, mature and steady having played in college for four years, Brown still lacks the experience to deal with him.

"Sir, I understand."

Brown felt guilty, and he also felt that his performance in the fourth quarter was a mess.

I was thinking that because of my good performance earlier, Tang Sen would let me go, but I didn't expect that he would point it out immediately.

"What's the point of just knowing? Let's go and train."

Tang Sen said in a deep voice.

Brown said "oh" and followed dejectedly.

Connors next to him secretly gave Tang Sen a thumbs up.

Only Tang Sen can control Brown so easily.

Not long after the three of them left, a taxi stopped at the entrance of the stadium.

Doc Rivers, the Magic's head coach, hurried out of the car and walked into the arena.
