Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 130 Not only can you not laugh, you also have to learn

McGrady's reminder seemed to enlighten Billups, who immediately increased the point difference to around 10 points.

Even Tang Sen found this improvement incredible.

I learned after asking that it was inspired by Tracy McGrady.

"shout out?"

Tang Sen had a strange expression, wondering how McGrady had noticed that.

However, upon closer reflection, Billups does seem to have this problem.

On the court, Billups may simply be used to playing off the bench, and since he's just joined the Magic, he doesn't have the same commanding presence that Kidd has, where the whole team listens to his instructions.

"Then shout it out."

In any case, the improvement is real.

Since it's a useful suggestion, let's stick to it.

The effects of this change were directly reflected in the competition.

On January 9th, the Magic traveled to Philadelphia to play against the Digital Man.

This is the first game of the season against Digital Man.

Rivers takes this game very seriously.

The Nets are a dark horse, a rising star in the East, while the Big Three are the undisputed defending champions of the East.

Not to mention that the digital human also has Allen Iverson, who has consistently dominated the scoring charts.

Although the Digital Men have only 15 wins and 19 losses so far this season, currently ranking sixth in the Eastern Conference, no one dares to underestimate their power.

Rivers is even less likely to do so.

But the Magic won that game.

102:91.

Leading throughout, winning cleanly and decisively.

Brown had 21 points and 10 rebounds, while McGrady scored 26 points.

Allen Iverson scored 27 points in a losing effort.

Mutombo protected the boards well, grabbing 14 rebounds, but it wasn't enough to help his team win the game.

For Rivers, Brown and McGrady's performances were normal; what truly impressed him was Billups.

Billups scored only 9 points but dished out 12 assists.

The key is that there were only 2 mistakes.

At the post-match press conference, Rivers made a point of mentioning Billups, speaking with pride.

After Billups was traded to the Magic, Orlando Media's tendency to betray the team remained unchanged. They criticized Rivers's judgment, saying that the Magic's management had just made a brilliant comeback in the Brown trade, but immediately reverted to their old ways and started making mind-boggling trades.

In fact, Billups' performance in the games after being traded was mediocre, far from the four games he had a breakout season with Wolves.

But in this game, Billups played exactly what Rivers wanted.

He orchestrated the team's assists and, when the digital men launched several counterattacks and tried to catch up, controlled the pace of the game, passing the ball to McGrady and Brown to allow them to score steadily and help the team withstand the pressure of the comeback.

In the end, the team won, and won cleanly and decisively.

Rivers believes that Billups deserves at least 30% of the credit for this.

This was not just a flash in the pan for Billups.

On the 11th, the Magic will host the Trail Blazers.

Not only did Billups lock down Damon Stoudemire on the defensive end, using his height and weight advantage, but he also dished out 11 assists.

When Rivers was standing on the sidelines, he could always hear Billups loudly directing his teammates and urging them to run plays.

He seemed to have truly become the brains of the team.

This change surprised Rivers.

This five-game winning streak propelled the Magic past the Nets to take the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

After the game, Rivers even sought out Townsend to ask what kind of secret training Townsend had arranged for Billups.

Even he knew about the secret training.

"Doug, do you even know what a secret is?"

Tang Sen asked back.

This kind of training method was so bad that Billups was embarrassed to tell his teammates, and even Townsend himself felt embarrassed, as if it were a joke.

Even though he had already witnessed its power.

However, to Tang Sen's surprise, the matter was leaked.

Although they had to play the Nets back-to-back the next day, Tang Sen still scheduled a training session in the morning.

However, considering that there was a match the night before, it was postponed to 8:00 AM.

Now that we have [Believers], we no longer need to worry about having to use the [Five Points] badge.

Getting up early in the morning is tough for Tang Sen too.

Billups was the fifth to arrive at the locker room. As soon as he entered, he was about to greet everyone when he suddenly realized that all four people present were looking at him with strange expressions.

"Changxi, you really haven't beaten up a group of elementary school kids?" Grant asked with a grin.

Billups' expression changed, and he immediately looked at McGrady.

McGrady quickly shook his head: "I didn't say that."

It's the Orlando Sentinel.

Today they suddenly published an article focusing their report on Billups, who has recorded 10 assists in two consecutive games.

The key is that the title is eye-catching enough.

It's called "Tang Sen's Training Secrets Revealed - Mysterious Training Helps the Third-Rank Scholar Shed the 'Fake' Label".

The article mentions that Billups' two sudden outbursts were related to his secret training with Townsend.

What is this secret training?

He was playing ball with a bunch of elementary school kids!

They had thoroughly investigated Billups's affairs and written down everything in great detail.

It was even revealed that some kids didn't want to play with Billups anymore, and that Billups gave them jerseys to please them.

"Chanchy, did you really promise those kids you'd get them Jordan's autographed jerseys?" De Klerk asked curiously.

A current NBA player, playing with a bunch of elementary school kids, lost so badly that they didn't want to play with him anymore, and he even had to give them gifts to appease them.

Even Florida residents wouldn't do something so abstract.

Billups glared at McGrady.

They even said it had nothing to do with you.

Clearly, this leak was caused by McGrady.

McGrady's influence in Orlando is too great and too flamboyant; it was only because I brought him there last time that reporters found out.

Seeing the mischievous grins on their faces, Billups weakly tried to explain, "Don't laugh, it's actually very difficult."

You can't just keep playing with a few elementary school kids and keep losing.

You need to read the rules.

Under those rules, isn't it normal to lose?

The more he explained, the more everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Ewing also offered an idea.

"Changxi, I'll teach you a trick that will guarantee your victory."

Billups was taken aback and expressed disbelief.

Ewing said seriously, "You shouldn't stand outside and pass the ball. You should stand under the basket and lift them up to shoot. Think about it, you're 1.9 meters tall. If you lift them up, who can stop you?"

After he finished speaking, he couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

Grant laughed hysterically and offered the same advice: "And when you're on defense, you can't guard people, so you guard the rim. Grab the rim, do pull-ups, and when someone shoots, head the ball away with your head."

As he spoke, he stretched out his head and gestured from side to side.

McGrady laughed so hard he slid right off the chair.

Billups blushed, sat down, and retorted, "Go ahead and laugh. If you're so capable, go and try it yourselves. Believe me, you're not even as good as me."

He pointed at McGrady and revealed that McGrady had lost two games in a row, both by a margin of 30 points.

McGrady quickly tried to save face, saying seriously, "Chansey is right, it really is very difficult."

Just then, Tang Sen walked in with Guo Yonglin.

Maddie hurriedly said, "Don, this is the secret training you arranged. Tell Horace and the others, is it particularly difficult?"

Tang Sen understood what was going on as soon as he saw the reactions of the others.

I also read the Sentinel newspaper and the morning news.

In particular, on Channel 6's morning news, Bernie called out to Carroll, saying that after the show, he would bring a camera and go live to challenge him, proving that his performance was no less than that of current NBA players.

Seeing Billups's utter frustration, Tang Sen chimed in, "Horace, don't laugh so hard. This is a secret training I designed. Believe me or not, if you go, you might perform worse than Tracy."

McGrady lost by 30 points, but a center like Grant could easily score 40. Billups immediately nodded in agreement.

Whether it's difficult or not, go ahead and try it if you dare.

"And Changxi."

Tang Sen glanced at Billups and chuckled to himself.

Fortunately, the media's attention was entirely focused on Billups, an active player; otherwise, it would have damaged the reputation of his top trainer.

What kind of crazy training did this top-tier trainer design?

However, now that this matter has been exposed, Tang Sen cannot allow them to laugh at him.

It's like Grover started a breakfast club, and then countless people praised it.

Is it really true that training at 5 a.m. is more effective than training at 8 a.m.?
of course not.

Grover succeeded; he became an authority.

Since you are an authority, then what I say makes sense.

So no matter how funny my training is, just ask yourself if it works.

Did Billups get over 10 assists in two consecutive games?
So not only can you not laugh, you also have to learn.

"Don't be embarrassed. What's wrong with playing ball with the kids? This is a secret training program I designed especially for you. Just tell me if it works?"

Billups nodded blankly.

"So, as long as it works, that's all that matters. If anyone dares to laugh at you again, let them try it themselves. They might not even do as well as you."

Since this has already been exposed, it can't be stopped.

Once Billups develops, let's see who dares to laugh then.

Billups looked distressed. He sensed something was off and felt that Tang Sen was trying to fool him.

Before the game that evening, after the locker room was opened, Billups got to experience what it was like to be the center of attention, surrounded by a large number of reporters who kept asking him about playing with elementary school kids.

"Changxi, do any kids really say you're bad at the game?"

"How many times have you lost that they don't want to play with you anymore?"

"A kid was interviewed and said that all you do is yell at them and you can't pass the ball at all. Is that true?"

Listening to the jumbled questions, Billups was completely overwhelmed.

He remembered Tang Sen's words, first waving his hand to stop everyone, then said with a serious expression, "First of all, what you said is true, I can admit it."

I was told I was bad at cooking by elementary school students, so I bought them gifts to please them.

"But this is a kind of training, training my organizational skills."

"And you should know that this is a training plan that Tang designed specifically for me. He is Tang Sen, he trained Kwame, and he is the league's top trainer."

Billups's subtext was, "This is training designed by Tang Sen, do you dare to question it?"
"Finally, all I can tell you is that this kind of training is really difficult. I can say that even Kidd, or any player in the entire league, could not complete this kind of training."

He got carried away with the conversation and couldn't hold her.

After saying that, Billups knew he was in trouble.

That sounds a bit too boastful.

But the words had already been spoken, and the reporters present were all staring with gleam in their eyes; how could they possibly take them back?

"Yes, that's exactly what I said, it's really difficult."

Thinking about those unruly kids, Billups felt a little more at ease, feeling that even Jordan wouldn't be able to handle them, so he wasn't exaggerating.

Even if I'm proven wrong later, who cares if I'm just a mediocre third-place finisher?

Billups' words, through reporters, immediately reached Kidd's ears.

"What challenge?"

Kidd raised an eyebrow, perking up.

Even Kidd?

Listen to that tone, you look down on yourself, don't you?

After the reporter finished explaining the specific rules, Kidd quickly thought for a moment, then casually remarked, "Do you know why he's called a 'flop'?"

The subtext is that he said it was difficult because he's bad at it.

The reporters' eyes gleamed with an astonishing intensity, already sensing the pervasive tension.

They'd be stirring things up, one reporter shouted, "Jason, would you take on the challenge?"

Kidd hesitated for a moment, then said, "Of course, I'll think about it when I have time. You know I've always enjoyed being with kids."

Kidd not only responded verbally, but also completely dominated Billups in the game.

This season, Kidd recorded his fifth triple-double.

Unfortunately, the Nets still couldn't win the game.

Brown scored 31 points and McGrady scored 32 points, combining for a total of 63 points.

With that kind of offensive firepower, it would be difficult for the Magic to lose.

Although Billups was outplayed on both ends of the court, he still performed his role in orchestrating the team's offense perfectly, dishing out a career-high 14 assists.

The game is over.

Billups' statement that no player in the entire league could complete this challenge was undoubtedly very damaging.

The following day, major media outlets across the United States reported and reprinted the story.

Even Barkley, known for stirring up trouble, specifically mentioned this issue on an NBA insider program, and, encouraged by Smith, declared that he would also take on the challenge and tell those kids that even after he retires, he will still be an NBA-level player.

However, some people's attention was not on Billups.

Far away in Washington.

After losing to the Timberwolves on the 12th, Jordan did core training under Grover's guidance during the Wizards' practice the following morning.

Grover remained silent and didn't say much to Jordan.

He knew that Jordan had been in a bad mood lately.

The main reason is that after the results of the third All-Star voting were announced, Brown was surprisingly voted the number one center in the Eastern Conference by fans across the United States who love to watch the drama unfold.

So the idea of ​​playing alongside Brown is really going to happen.

Jordan's attitude towards Brown changed; he even took the initiative to congratulate Brown on becoming the youngest player to score 50 points.

But despite the change, Jordan still felt awkward playing with Brown.

Grover remained silent, but Jordan initiated the conversation.

"Tim, did you see the news this morning? Do you really think Don's training methods are effective?"

The Washington Post reported this morning that Billups couldn't beat a primary school student.

They reported it as a joke, but Jordan didn't see it that way.

Because this was a training session designed and arranged by Tang Sen.

This is Tang Sen!

Brown, that brat, was able to make it this far, and I feel so disgusted and miserable because of Tang Sen.

Jordan knew that every trainer had some special experience and skills.

In short, a unique secret technique!
Prior to this, Tangsen had never given a public interview. Although Brown constantly claimed that Tangsen was the best trainer in the world, he had never revealed Tangsen's training methods.

That's normal; that's how they make a living, so naturally they wouldn't leak it out casually.

But this time it was unexpectedly exposed.

This was the first time Jordan had realized that a point guard's playmaking ability could be trained.

That thing is innate, you can't hear of it being developed through training.

But Tang Sen designed such an absurd and completely counterintuitive training method that looks like a joke no matter how you look at it.

Grover had obviously seen the report, thought about it seriously for a moment, and shook his head to say he couldn't say for sure.

"But this method is indeed quite bizarre."

Anyway, if it were him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to come up with that.

Jordan nodded in deep agreement.

Billups was shouting that no one in the entire league could complete this challenge, but Jordan didn't care.

I'm not going to be stupid enough to take on that challenge.

But Billups' transformation was real.

He has recorded more than 10 assists in three consecutive games.

He's a complete fraud!
Thinking of this, Jordan suddenly perked up.

He's prepared to give the team's starting point guard, Chris Whitney, a try.

As a starting point guard, his average of 4 assists per game is hardly worth mentioning.

Take yesterday's game against the Timberwolves, for example. He only had 6 points and 3 assists. Just looking at those stats makes my head spin.

Moreover, the Wizards' point guard position is really bad; they just keep passing the ball to themselves.

If that's all you need, even a dog could do it.
