At 4 to 10, David made no further gains except for getting into the middle distance. He lost to Tang Qian with a gap of six points.
After David, Noah, and Ben left, Phil Hubbard looked at Tang Qian and clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, Tong, you did a great job. It seems that Li's recommendation is pertinent."
"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Hubbard. Are there any trial trainings in the future?" Tang Qian said without any pride.
"Oh, there is also a trial training, which is to take you to get to know your teammates and have a good chat with those young guys." Phil Hubbard said with a smile.
"Huh? What does this sentence mean?" Tang Qian reacted and looked at the man in front of him.
"Oh, that's right, it's hot. Welcome to join the Los Angeles Defenders." Phil Hubbard said with a smile.
After resting for a whole day, Tang Qian began to sign a contract with the Los Angeles Defenders. The contract specifications of the NBDL are different from the NBA that everyone knows. After Tang Qian glanced at it, he got a rough idea. The contract levels of the NBDL are divided into
The three levels are $25,000 per season for Level A, $19,000 per season for Level B, and $13,000 per season for Level C. The Los Angeles Defenders provided themselves with a season contract for Level C.
, which is $13,000 per season.
The money was not much, but it was finally Tang Qian's "first pot of gold", and it was still "US dollars".
"How is it, perm? Do you have any objections to the contract?" Phil Hubbard stood with several uniform teams and looked at Tang Qian across the negotiation table.
"No, no." Tang Qian shook his head and said.
As a pure newcomer, it was expected that Tang Qian got a contract with such a price, so he had nothing to object to. However, when signing the contract, Tang Qian still discovered a small detail, that is, this
The contract was not signed with the Los Angeles Defenders, but with the entire NBDL league.
After signing his name, Tang Qian finally stepped into the door of professional basketball players. Although the NBDL is only a secondary league, the intensity of the competition in it is far higher than that in China. For a player
For young people who have not yet been completely formed, it is the best stage for "leveling up".
"Okay, perm. Congratulations on joining the Defenders. I hope you will perform well in the 2011-2012 season." Phil Hubbard checked the contract with the front office staff and said with a kind smile.
"Don't worry, Mr. Hubbard, I can." Tang Qian also nodded.
The opening game of the NBDL is on November 22. This season, the NBA league has been unable to start due to the "suspension", but for the NBDL league, it has not had the slightest impact.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner.
There is still some time before the start of the NBDL league, and Tang Qian did not waste this time. He not only "borrowed money" from Li Qiuping to hire a local professional trainer in the United States, but he also provided the team's gym and strength room.
A place I frequented frequently. It wasn't until one day in early November that some "interludes" began to appear in the "boring" days.
"Tom, what are we practicing today? After last week's training, I feel that my physical performance has improved a little." Tang Qian asked a brown-haired man next to him while moving his body. This brown-haired man Tom
, is the professional basketball trainer Tang Qian hired during the offseason.
After this period of scientific training, Tang Qian saw in the "different space" that his sprint speed, which was originally eight crystal bricks, had successfully increased by one, reaching the peak of nine crystal bricks. Tang Qian tested it afterwards.
As expected, the 100-yard speed has reached the 10.9-second mark. Even though it is only 0.1 seconds, it is actually a huge mountain that countless people will find difficult to climb in their lifetime. The basketball court is only that big, so 0.1 seconds faster is enough to do it.
There are many things that were previously impossible to do.
As for the bouncing item, it also increased from seven crystal bricks to eight. Tang Qian tried it, and his ultimate bouncing ability was once again increased by one inch, reaching a height of 38 inches. Although it was only an increase of 2.54 centimeters, for
For Tang Qian, it is still a huge improvement, especially after he is about to step onto the professional court, physical fitness is definitely an aspect that cannot be left behind.
"Oh, hot, you are simply one of the scariest guys I have ever seen! With such an intensive training intensity, won't your body be exhausted?" Tom said exaggeratedly after hearing what Tang Qian said.
"No, no, no, Tom, the NBDL league is about to start. I have to strengthen and work hard before then." Tang Qianqian pulled the ligament mechanically and said.
"Okay, Fang, since you are so eager to train, then I will also seriously formulate a training plan. Who asked you to spend money to hire me?" Tom replied.
"Haha, Tom, listening to what you said, didn't you seriously make a training plan for me before?" Tang Qian took the initiative and joked, which was rare.
"Oh~ hot! God testifies, I am a very serious and responsible basketball trainer! And for the price you paid, I am definitely the best!" Tom said with a "serious" look on his face.
"The best? Haha, Tom, when you say that, aren't you afraid that God will make him angry?"
Hearing Tang Qian's words, Tom shrank his neck slightly, and then returned to his normal state for a second: "Fang, God is very busy, how can he have time to mind my business? Besides, I, Tom, am a devout Christian.
God will forgive all his devout believers."
As Tom spoke, he took out a small cross. After he finished speaking, he kissed it before putting it back.
Seeing Tom's "guilty thief" look, Tang Qian shook his head and smiled, then moved around in a circle and said: "Tom, seriously, what is the next stage of training plan?"
Tom also stopped joking, looked at the information board in his hand, and said: "The tentative next stage plan is to gain weight and strength training, which is essential for any 'rookie' who has just entered the professional ball game.
Of course, it still takes a lot of time to correct your shooting hand, and the shooting stability during the entire movement also needs to be improved."
"Well, you're right, Tom, let's get started." Tang Qian also lost his smile and said.
That night, after Tom left, Tang Qian began to practice shooting alone as usual. After a period of training, he discovered a problem. That is, the higher the level of competition he entered, the better the improvement of crystal bricks.
Relatively faster. When he played in the U17 World Youth Championship, he found some signs. Now after entering the NBDL league, this speculation has been verified again.
In order to improve various crystal brick strategies in this "different space", Tang Qian's enthusiasm for training became even higher.
Li Qiuping and Phil Hubbard said hello and asked Tang Qian to live in the Toyota Sports Center. This was firstly to save money, and secondly to give Tang Qian more time to practice.
Of course, as a reward, Tang Qian needs to work part-time as a cleaner in the Toyota Sports Center and is responsible for the sanitation work here every day.
The NBDL training camp started very late, so basically no other players from the team came to report. During this period, the main hall of Toyota Sports Center was always used by the NHL's Los Angeles Kings. Therefore, Tang Qian needed
There are not many places to clean, he is only responsible for the basketball part of the gymnasium.
In a small side hall of the Toyota Sports Center, Tang Qian is practicing mid-range shots meticulously. This skill is very important in modern basketball, especially the insiders in the new century. As an inside player, you can have beautiful hands.
For this player, a mid-range shot can undoubtedly add a lot of points. Because after the inside line steps up to pick and roll, if there is no mid-range shot ability, the opponent will easily break the pick and roll. They only need to leave the inside line and attack directly.
The person who controls the ball is enough. But if the inside man who stands out has a hand shot, the opponent's defense will easily be in a dilemma and will not be able to concentrate on surrounding the ball controller.
"ninety-seven."
Brush~
"Ninety-eight."
Brush~
"Ninety-nine."
Brush~
Just as Tang Qian was about to throw his hundredth pitch tonight, the door to the side hall, which had been closed, buzzed open.
"Yo, it's so late and there are still people practicing? Niice!"
"who?"
Tang Qian frowned, stopped shooting, turned around and was shocked!!!
Although he was wearing casual clothes and a casual hat, which was completely different from his usual appearance, Tang Qian still recognized him at a glance.
"H, hi, Mr. Black Mamba, why are you here?" Tang Qian couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.
"I was visiting an old friend here just now, and before I left, I suddenly heard the sound of a basketball hitting the ground. As you know." Kobe shrugged and said, "I have never been able to resist this sound."
"How about I come and play too?" Kobe suddenly said.
"Ah?" Tang Qian was stunned and didn't react for a while.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Kobe took off his jacket, revealing his dark muscles.
Brushing, brushing, brushing~
Kobe scored ten goals in a row as soon as he started, and the balls were hollow and extremely accurate.
"It seems that I feel good today." After Kobe finished speaking, he passed the basketball in his hand to Tang Qian and said, "Boy, I see you are boring to practice alone, how about we have a bullfight?"
"Ah???" Tang Qian had just come back to his senses and was once again shocked by Kobe's proposal.
Looking at Tang Qian's expression, Kobe smiled slightly and said, "What? You kid can only talk?"
"No, no, no." Tang Qian shook his head mechanically and said, "I just feel like, am I dreaming?"
"Is this a dream? You'll know after one game?" Kobe stood outside the three-point line and said, "Stop talking nonsense, attack first!"
Tang Qian discovered that the man in front of him immediately changed his temperament as soon as he stepped onto the court.
Suddenly, he remembered a famous saying of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson:
Kobe is different from Michael. Kobe's desire to win stops at the basketball court.
This means that when this man steps onto the basketball court, his competitiveness, his temperament, and his aura will undergo a comprehensive change. In the past, Tang Qian thought it was just a "compliment", but now
It seems that the "Zen Master"'s evaluation is really accurate and almost hits the nail on the head.
Snapped.
The basketball in Tang Qian's hand was stolen by Kobe.
Kobe got the ball, looked at Tang Qian and said, "Hey, kid, it's not a good habit to be distracted during the game."
Brush~
Kobe raised his hand and hit a three-pointer. The orange basketball hit the net accurately, and the friction sound caused by the high-speed rotation was extremely pleasant.
In the bullring, a three-pointer counts as two points, so as soon as Kobe came up, he gave Tang Qian a head-on blow.
In the following game, there was no suspense, 10-0, Kobe succeeded in consecutive attacks, and Tang Qian never even touched the ball again.
"Hey, kid, is this all you have?" Kobe looked at Tang Qian and said with a "taunt".
"No, of course not, Mr. Black Mamba, let's play another game." Tang Qian shook his head and said seriously.
Don't think too much about other things, he is your idol, but the more this happens, the more you have to show your strength in front of him!
Because only in this way can we truly respect him!
"I'll attack first." Tang Qian stood outside the three-point line and said unceremoniously.
Facing Kobe, he chose to attack first, which was not a shame at all, because the strength levels of the two were really far apart. If he had not chosen to attack first, he might have ended the bullfight by "eating zero eggs."
"Okay, I hope you won't disappoint me." Kobe said easily.
"I will, Mr. Mamba." Tang Qian nodded.
When Tang Qian attacked and faced off against the famous Kobe Bryant, he didn't dare to play tricks. To be safe, he could only choose the most "center forward" way to attack the opponent.
Hard push from behind.
As expected of Kobe, he was able to remain unflinching in the face of his own powerful back attack. This strength is truly astonishing.
Tang Qian didn't know that just as he was marveling in his heart, Kobe behind him also felt the same way.
What a lot of strength!
Is this strength really something that yellow people can possess?
Fortunately, this kid doesn't have any skills in exerting force. Otherwise, whether he can bear it or not is really a question!
Fighting from behind like this is not an option! Even if the attack time is exhausted, you can't touch the three-second zone! You can only try to turn around!
Tang Qian moved and just when he was about to turn around, the basketball in his hand disappeared.
Stolen?
Just as I was thinking about it, Kobe's voice came over and said: "Your idea is right, but it's a pity that the technical movements are too stiff."
