Chapter 160 Special Training
Jordan failed to fight back, and the Chinese men's basketball team swept the entire Asia, averaging 21.4 points better than their opponents per game. They won the men's basketball championship trophy in the Asian Championships and directly won the qualification tickets for the London Olympics next year.

In the words of Yu Jia, the host of the last TV show at the time, "We can go to London now!"

This is indeed a gratifying thing. At least the Chinese men's basketball team still stands at the pinnacle of Asia with the strongest posture, while other countries such as South Korea and Japan, which claim to be sports powerhouses, can only be sour. Acknowledge the dominance of the Chinese men's basketball team.

Tang Wenlong won the title of MVP of the Asian Championships, averaging 19.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 3.8 steals per game. Most of the steals came from on-the-spot counter-stealing. His reaction ability and agility completely exceeded the Asian level by a large margin. In the NBA, the defense was at an average level, but here it has become the sharpest, even rushing to rush. Tang Wenlong himself has a little bit of defensive experience, and gradually has an idea of ​​how to grasp the stealing route and how to not lose his position. measure.

At this time, the lockout has been almost three months. There are rumors that Kobe may go to the Turkish League to play?

Tang Wenlong finished his trip to the Asian Championships, had a celebration dinner with his men's basketball teammates and the leaders of the Basketball Association, and then got up and returned to Philadelphia.

This summer's schedule was very busy, and Tang Wenlong had no chance to carry out the special training plan he had set for himself. Just as the NBA was suspended, Tang Wenlong had a lot more time, so he started the normal special training.

"Jack doesn't have time, so he can only find the trainer Bob recommended last time."

Tang Wenlong flipped through the business card in his pocket, and there was a name and phone number on it.

"Tim Glover!"

I heard that this trainer has also trained Iguodala, Marion and other famous NBA outside defensive gates, and also trained inside players like Elton Brand and Dwight Howard. How does the player improve? In terms of defensive ability, he has his own set.

"However, the cost is too high, 12 U.S. dollars per week, and [-] U.S. dollars a month." Tang Wenlong was speechless. The top trainers in the United States are very expensive. I heard that when Olajuwon held training courses , It also costs as much as [-] US dollars a week, and there must be more than one student.

Forget it, it's more expensive, I hope it will work.

Tang Wenlong is also a bachelor, and he doesn't have a general impression of money in his mind. He only knows that he has a lot of money now. Apart from the reserves arranged by the brokerage team for investment, there are nearly 50 that can be used for pocket expenses.

After figuring it out, Tang Wenlong called Tim Grover
Los Angeles, USA.

In a top local training center, Tang Wenlong and Joe Thomas walked in.

The entire training center has an area of ​​50 to [-] square meters. Tang Wenlong can see at a glance that there is a standard NBA basketball court, two main frames and six side frames. Different players, holding a back body protector in the middle as a guide, is a middle-aged man in black short sleeves, slightly bald, about [-] years old.

"Tang Wenlong?"

Suddenly there was an unintelligible pronunciation from behind, Tang Wenlong turned his head and met an acquaintance.

"Cameron, why are you here, I am so glad to see you!"

Tang Wenlong smiled happily. Anthony was his senior. The two had communicated several times in private, and they both recognized each other's strength. It was a coincidence that they would meet in Los Angeles.

The two laughed loudly, opened their arms, and hugged each other firmly.

"This is Joe Thomas, my manager." Tang Wenlong hurriedly introduced Joe Thomas to the side.

Joe Thomas's eyes shined. This is a big treasury. It's a pity that people have their own names, and Anthony's agent, Leon Rose, is not a good person.

"Hello, hello, thunderous." Anthony and Joe Thomas shook hands very politely.

"Are you here for special training too? What project do you choose?" Anthony asked Tang Wenlong, a little curious.

Tang Wenlong smiled and said: "It should be defensive. I don't know the trainer's plan very well. I like to tailor a training system. I am eager to improve my defensive ability."

Anthony praised: "You are awesome. In fact, your defense is still good, and you are still so motivated."

Tang Wenlong was a little embarrassed, "Where is it? Andre (Iguodala)'s defensive ability is called strong. Now I will defend at the shooting guard position. There is no way to become a comprehensive defender. If It would be the best to be as strong as Andre's defense!"

Anthony smiled wryly, "If you really have a strong defense like Andre, the 76ers' outside line is so terrifying, who would want to touch you, can you make a living?"

Tang Wenlong laughed loudly, and hammered Anthony's arm, the senior was quite funny.

"Then Cameron, what are you practicing here? Are you also practicing defense?" Tang Wenlong asked.

Anthony nodded and let out a long sigh, "Yes, I came here to practice defense. You know, losing to the Heat in the playoffs or being swept by LeBron hit me hard. We have a good relationship. But I never thought that one day, I would be so far behind him, he was only one step away from the championship, but I still couldn't see the hope of moving forward."

Tang Wenlong expressed his understanding. Being swept away was unbearable for these basketball players.

Anthony's eyes became extremely firm, and Tang Wenlong saw a determination and perseverance in his eyes, "I must practice defense well. I have always been criticized for defense. Our Knicks are now poor in defense and offense. , we are confident that we can enter the ranks of the top five in the league!"

When Anthony said this, an idea flashed in Tang Wenlong's head, "Cameron, then we can train together and become a partner combination!"

"Combination?" Anthony was very interested when Tang Wenlong said it, and asked, "How do you say it?"

Tang Wenlong smiled and said: "Cameron, look, I am also strong offensively and defensively weak in the NBA. What I am eager to train is defense, and your offensive ability is second to none in the NBA. If I can train with you, it will help my defense. It must be very big. At the same time, I think you also need an opponent who can defend at any time and hold it in actual combat!"

Anthony was said with bright eyes, "Yes, yes, so you can also hone your defense, and I also hone my defense because of your offensive ability."

The two looked more pleasing to each other, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.

At this time, the middle-aged trainer who was helping others to train came over. He had noticed Tang Wenlong and his manager coming. He thought he would come to look for him, but he didn't expect to meet Anthony. They didn't know what to say. What, he laughed so happily that it made his heart itch.

"Hey, Cameron, Tang Wenlong, what are you talking about?"

The man wiped the sweat off his face with a white towel hanging around his neck, and greeted the two with a smile.
"Tim, I'm discussing with Cameron about training together, do you think we can do it together?" Tang Wenlong reached out to shake Tim Grover's hand and said with a big smile.
