Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 120 You haven't even broken through the salary cap, how dare you ask me for the championship?
Chicago.

When Brown hung on the rim and actually scored 50 points, Jordan couldn't help but curse.

It's like a joke.

50 points!

Jordan vividly remembers the first time he scored 50 points, which was in the playoffs, when he scored 63 points.

That's right, I got 60 points first, and then I got 50 points.

That's amazing!
But at that time, I was already 23 years old, and with a kitchen knife in hand, I went straight from the East Coast to the West Coast.

Brown, on the other hand, is not even 20 yet.

This comparison just doesn't feel right.

on TV.

Rivers did not take the opportunity to call a timeout to allow Brown to leave the court and enjoy the cheers and adoration of the fans.

There's still a minute or so left, maybe we can score a few more points and push the record higher.

Unfortunately, Brown is clearly no longer able to play.

With Hamilton missing his jump shot, the game ended, and Brown's final score was 51 points.

He made 21 of 31 shots, a shooting percentage of nearly 70%.

The crowd erupted in cheers. McGrady excitedly jumped onto Brown's back, waving his fists and shouting.

Then came the reporters.

The reporters on the sidelines were already rushing forward in a frantic manner.

However, Brown quickly pushed past the reporters and rushed to the sidelines.

With a clear objective, he bypassed the audience in the front row and hugged Tang Sen, who was clapping.

The camera followed him, showing Brown tightly hugging Tangsen, while Tangsen, with a surprised and forced-to-perform expression, reacted a moment later and hugged Brown back.

“Damn, this kid is so good. On his most beautiful night, he didn’t forget who he should thank the most. Fuck, what a heartwarming and touching scene, I’m about to cry.” Smith’s voice came through.

By this point, the reporters had already dug up almost everything about Tangsen and Brown's affair.

A disillusioned trainer and a talented young man from a poor background who yearns to enter the NBA and change his fate, meet unexpectedly.

Tang Sen led by example, training alongside Brown.

He further influenced and changed this naive teenager with his excellent qualities.

Despite the setbacks and the ruthless deal, the boy did not wallow in self-pity, but continued to work hard with Tang Sen's encouragement.

He succeeded!

He got his revenge, he scored 50 points, he broke the record, he proved himself!
"damn it."

Smith wiped his eyes. This scene, even in Hollywood, would be a classic inspirational movie.

In the footage, Tang Sen pats Brown on the back, seemingly reminding him that he can let go now, as he still has to give an interview to reporters.

But Brown didn't let go.

Upon seeing this, Grover's eyes welled up with tears. He turned his head and gave Jordan a resentful look.

Back then, you were ambitious and wanted to surpass the Bad Boys, selecting trainers from all over the United States. As for yourself, you were just an unknown nobody from Chicago, but you managed to impress them with a detailed training plan.

Just like Tangsen and Brown today.

And when will you, like Brown, express your heartfelt gratitude to yourself in front of the whole world?

Jordan immediately understood Grover's look.

Rolling his eyes, Jordan opened his arms.

Hugs, huh? Come on, I can't move anyway, hug me however you want.

Grover gave a haughty snort, showing absolutely no sincerity.

He got up, ready to leave.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Jordan to take it easy and not think too much.

Jordan rolled his eyes, realizing he wasn't that fragile.

He gestured for Grover to hand him his phone, then flipped through his contacts, found a reporter's number, and called to ask if he was at the scene in Orlando.

After receiving confirmation, Jordan took a deep breath to adjust his mindset and said, "At the post-game press conference, tell Kwame that I watched his game, he was great, and congratulate him for me."

After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.

Grover's mouth dropped open involuntarily.

I was so surprised I almost wanted to touch Jordan's forehead. Was he too angry or sick?
Otherwise, how could their attitude have changed so quickly?

Or has this meant that they've already come to terms with reality?
"Don't look at me like that."

Jordan muttered something unpleasantly, then gritted his teeth and said, "Tim, you have to help me recover properly. When I come back, I'm going to score 50 points too."

Isn't Brown the youngest player to score 50 points?

Alright, I'll be the oldest 50-point man.

……

The scene of the game.

Brown was finally caught by reporters and surrounded by them.

"Of course I'm excited, this is my first 50 points in my career."

"It has nothing to do with who the opponent is. I have always said that I respect Jordan. He has always been my idol. There are no problems between us for a long time."

What did Leitner say?

When a reporter asked Brown what conflict had occurred between him and Leitner in the first quarter, Brown paused.

After a moment's hesitation, he prepared to fire.

But instead of attacking Lightner, he said, pointing at the camera lens and speaking in an indignant voice, "Lightner belittled Townsend and looked down on him, but I want to tell everyone, look at me."

Brown pounded his chest and said, "The reason I was able to score 50 points is because I have the best trainer in the world."

Brown has said similar things on various occasions.

But I've never felt such intense emotions before.

If you're going to question and slander Tang Sen, then look at yourselves. Who nurtured this youngest 50-point scorer in history?

It's Tang Sen!

After saying this, Brown turned and left.

The fans in the stands went wild. This is Orlando, where people are fickle, unpredictable, hate freely, and love intensely.

When Brown stopped to sign autographs for fans and took off his shoes to give to a child, a blonde female fan boldly lifted her shirt to show Brown her pride, then shouted at him to come find her that night.

Brown turned pale with fright and quickly ran back to the locker room.

When we got back to the locker room, I don't know who it was, but they had already prepared champagne.

As soon as he entered, Brown was drenched in water.

"19 years old? My God, you're a monster." Ewing put his arm around Brown's shoulder, as happy as if he had scored 50 points himself.

He thought there was no problem.

Tangsen is Brown's trainer, but whose game footage did Tangsen show Brown? And these past few days, he's given Brown quite a bit of pointers, hasn't he?

Brown's 51 points were at least partly due to his own efforts.

The key is that this kid is terrifying. He scored 51 points in his rookie season.

In his professional career spanning over a decade, his highest score was only 51 points.

“And Michael, I really want to know what his expression is right now,” Ewing added.

Jordan scored his first 50 points in the regular season in the first game of the 86 season against the Knicks, right in front of his own eyes.

That day, Yu Yin was amazed by his extraordinary talent.

I never imagined that in the following years, this bastard would personally destroy my championship dream.

But at this moment, Ewing saw hope again.

It's like reincarnation.

He considered Brown his disciple, then he avenged himself against Jordan, and today he even scored 51 points in front of Jordan.

It's just one point more than 50.

Meanwhile, at the end of his career, he might have hope that this young man could help him realize his dreams.

Grant, standing nearby, laughed heartily and said, "Who knows? He's definitely furious."

As he spoke, he reminded Brown to make sure to thank Jordan properly later.

Brown just smiled and said nothing.

Thank you, but that's fine.

He had long since moved on from the idea of ​​being traded.

If Leitner hadn't been so sarcastic today, he wouldn't have scored so many points.

So at the post-game press conference later, he decided that no matter what the reporters asked, he would stick to his story and say it had nothing to do with Jordan. His goal now is no longer Jordan, but to work hard under Townsend's training to become a true star and help the Magic make a breakthrough in the playoffs.

After changing his clothes, Brown followed Rivers to the post-game press conference.

Rivers waited for him deliberately, fearing that the reporters would start making a fuss and sensationalizing the matter between Brown and Jordan.

However, to the surprise of both of them, a reporter from the Chicago Tribune relayed Jordan's words of congratulations on scoring 50 points.

After he finished speaking, not only did Brown and Rivers have strange expressions, but all the reporters present turned to look at him.

Is what you're saying true? Or are you just making it up?

"of course it's true."

The reporter quickly pulled out his phone to prove his innocence, showing everyone his call log. He had covered half of the number, but the editor's name was Michael Jordan.

Moreover, he already had a deep relationship with Jordan, and frequently reported on Jordan's news during his time with the Bulls.

Many reporters turned to look at Brown.

Brown was completely bewildered, feeling as if Jordan had learned his tricks and was now using them on him.

So now we have no choice but to express our gratitude.

After the game, when Brown met Tang Sen waiting for him in the parking lot, he asked Tang Sen where Tang Sen was.

"Jordan actually sent a reporter to congratulate you immediately?"

Tang Sen frowned, and the first thought that came to his mind was exactly the same as Brown's.

Isn't this Brown's trick?

The main question is, could someone as proud as Jordan give in so quickly?
After thinking for a moment, Tang Sen shook his head and said, "Forget it, why are you thinking about him? Just focus on playing your own game."

Tang Sen's attitude remained unchanged: he had avenged himself, and the matter was over. He shouldn't dwell on the past; he should look to the future.

This kid can get 50 points!

Tang Sen suddenly realized that this year's Magic might actually be able to stir up some waves in the East.

"Go back and rest early. Don't forget to pick up Lao Guo when you leave tomorrow. I won't be going."

Tang Sen pointed at Guo Yonglin.

I didn't leave immediately after the game; I was there to explain this to Brown.

Tomorrow the Magic are playing back-to-back games against the Mavericks in Dallas.

Tang Sen wasn't planning to go along, since he would come straight back after the fight.

But Guo Yonglin had to go along.

Later that day, Tang Sen also received an email from Yao Ming.

It's daytime in China.

The guy sent me a bunch of his medical reports.

Tang Sen decided to stay in Orlando and consult with Hall.

When it comes to medication, Wayne Hall is the real expert.

Brown nodded, got into his car, and drove away.

When Tang Sen got home, he didn't rush to bed. Instead, he reopened Yao Ming's email.

They did take Duffy's money, so they should at least put in some effort.

In the email, Yao Ming not only sent his medical report but also explained his condition.

He said he chose to go head-to-head with the team, and was subsequently suspended by the team.

Therefore, he did not play in either of the two away games in the third and fourth rounds.

Tang Sen frowned slightly upon seeing this.

First of all, Yao Ming's tone made it sound like he was encouraging him to go head-to-head with the team.

I don't think I've ever said anything like that, or given him any hints like that.

Perhaps it was Duffy's idea?

However, judging from the email content, Yao Ming doesn't seem to care.

Because of his absence, the Eastern team lost both games.

That's true. It's no wonder they lost if they didn't use such a dominant player in the Chinese basketball league.

Yao Ming reported on his training progress, saying that he had started losing weight and was training according to Tang Sen's requirements.

That's good. Tang Sen noticed when he was observing Yao Ming's training in China that Yao Ming is very disciplined.

His skill level is like Shaquille O'Neal in the Chinese Super League; he can easily crush opponents without even needing to train.

But he still practiced very diligently.

It's a pity that the Eastern team's training level is too poor, wasting their energy.

Seeing that it wasn't too late, Tang Sen simply extracted some key data from the medical examination report, organized it, and sent it to Fred Tedsky.

As the Bulls' head trainer, Tederski leans more towards sports medicine.

While Tang Sen was busy, Rivers didn't rest either.

As soon as the match ended, he and Tang Sen had the same thought.

Based on Brown's performance, he really thinks he has a chance this year.

So after the player left, he went directly to Gabriel.

Gabriel also stayed, listening happily to the marketing department's report.

As soon as the game ended, a large number of fans rushed into the surrounding stores and bought out all of Brown's number 66 jersey.

This shows that Brown, who scored a whopping 51 points, has completely won over the Orlando fans.

Gabriel was also planning to have a meeting with the marketing department tomorrow to discuss expanding Brown's publicity efforts.

He even felt that they could change their upcoming promotional strategy.

At the beginning of the season, the management set the goal and public relations strategy that the Magic should be able to get past the first round this year.

But now, Gabriel feels he can be a little bolder.

Forget the second round, let's go straight to the Eastern Conference Finals!
So when Gabriel saw Rivers come in, he quickly waved to him and asked him how far he thought the Magic could go this year.

"Seriously, I feel like we can go even further. My God, that kid scored 51 points! I was stunned." Gabriel was incredibly excited.

Those damn fans and media, especially the Orlando Sentinel.

He always complains that he has poor judgment and makes stupid, brain-dead deals. He only managed to keep his position as general manager by groveling to DeVos.

what about now?

Look at this stroke of genius I made.

They traded Hill, a patient with health issues and a contractual burden, for Brown, a super talent.

Isn't that amazing?
Rivers sat down and said, “John, that’s what I was just about to tell you. Brown is in very good shape right now, and he and Tracy have great chemistry. I think we have a chance, so I think we need to make another addition before the trade deadline.”

The trading deadline is February 21st of next year.

Now that December 15th has passed, it's time to consider going all in and pursuing some big-name players.

Rivers believes the Magic have the basic framework in place, with Brown inside and McGrady outside, but the other role players are too weak.

They're either old and frail, or they're like water dispensers.

If you want to make a breakthrough in your record, not to mention anything else, you haven't even broken through the salary cap. How can you even say you want a championship?

Gabriel nodded repeatedly; that was exactly what he thought.

“I’ll talk to Richie; he’ll definitely support us,” Gabriel said, setting the tone first.

DeVos is quite stingy.

But it also depends on whether there's any hope of winning the championship.

If there is hope, he wouldn't mind increasing the investment.

After saying that, Gabriel asked Rivers how he wanted to strengthen the team.

The way he spoke gave the impression that he could pick anyone in the entire league.

There, Firth thought to himself, "I still want Garnett."

But he knew that was simply unrealistic. He had already prepared his answer in his mind, saying, "I want to improve the defense on the perimeter and at the power forward position."

In Rivers' view, defense wins championships, and that is an unbreakable truth.

The Magic are currently lacking in defense.

Grant is old, leaving behind a bunch of weaklings, defensive sieves floating outside shooting hoops.

Armstrong is a good defender on the perimeter and plays very hard, but his height and weight limitations limit his defensive efficiency.

“John, is it possible for you to get Gary Payton over here?” Rivers asked tentatively.

Gabriel's smile froze on his face.

I told you to say whatever you wanted, not to have any wild ideas.
