Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 300 Training so hard, do you want to win the championship?
Takaho, New York.

Tang Sen parked his car on the side of the road, took the pizza upstairs, and knocked on the door of Harmon's rented apartment.

Hamon was dressed casually, with his long hair simply tied up and a knee pad on his left leg. As soon as the door opened, he rushed over and embraced Tang Sen.

Tang Sen lowered his head and kissed his girlfriend, then sat down on the sofa with Hamon.

"Since I have some free time, are you sure you don't want to go to Manhattan, find a fancy restaurant for dinner, and then go see a Broadway show?"

Tang Sen patted Hamon in his arms and asked.

Last month, the two officially became a couple and had their first formal date.

The whole process was simply a natural progression for Tang Sen.

Tang Sen helped Harmon with her rehabilitation training and encouraged her to persevere. Over time, they naturally came together.

In fact, with Tang Sen's current wealth, he could easily live a life of nightly revelry like Dolan.

New York is never short of actresses and supermodels with great figures and looks.

Dolan loves this.

Just like on Broadway, if you fancy a girl, buy her enough flowers to prove your sincerity, then take her to the best restaurant in Manhattan for a meal, and then sleep in a luxury hotel with a view overlooking the Central Garden.

If you want, you can change women every day.

But Tang Sen didn't find it interesting.

It's not to say that Tang Sen was truly like Tang Sanzang, abstinent from women.

This is America. From childhood to adulthood, Tang Sen, a basketball prodigy, has always been a sports star in school.

To be honest, cheerleader captain Tang Sen has slept with many women.

Born in 75, Tang Sen is almost 30 years old and hopes to have a stable relationship.

Ideally, you should also share common interests.

Tang Sen thinks it's okay to have fun with female celebrities and supermodels, but dating and marriage are not suitable.

"Forget it, not interested."

Hamon snuggled closer to Tang Sen.

Her income wasn't enough to support her dining at luxury restaurants in Manhattan.

Her annual salary is only $7, which is already higher than the average annual salary in the WNBA, and is considered a mid-to-high income in the league.

And since she doesn't have any commercial endorsements, her income is really limited.

She can't even afford to live in Manhattan.

Most importantly, she didn't want to spend Tang Sen's money.

Tang Sen nodded.

I only became rich in the last two years. I was living in a rented apartment eating pizza, which was only a couple of years ago.

Does the back of your thigh still hurt?

When I called yesterday, Hamon mentioned that his hamstring muscles were sore.

Tang Sen speculated that part of the hamstring tendon had been removed, and the soreness occurred as the training intensity increased.

Harmon rubbed his thigh, shook his head and said he was fine, then looked up, his fingers gently tracing Tang Sen's chest, and whispered, "How about we... do some training?"

Tang Sen countered, "On the water?"

Hamon thought for a moment, then decisively shook his head, saying that they should just do extra practice anytime, anywhere.

As he spoke, he pressed down on her.

Considering that she had only had surgery three months ago, the two of them dared not be too rough.

After a long while, Hamon rested his head on Tang Sen's chest, rubbed his stomach, and said that he was really hungry now.

Tang Sen got up, heated up the pizza, and the two snuggled on the sofa to eat while watching TV.

On TV, a basketball-related program happened to be playing.

Walter Frazier, a Knicks legend, is a guest discussing Dwyane Wade with the host.

With just one preseason game, scoring 23 points in the first half and completely outplaying the chosen one, Dwyane Wade, he instantly became a hot topic of discussion across the United States.

That's the allure of a large sports market.

The attention it's getting is too high.

In places like this, even a water dispenser attendant who suddenly has a great game can get a lot of media coverage.

They might even be noticed by a company and become its spokesperson.

Just like Bender, who, by virtue of being a low-budget version of Garnett, managed to earn an income almost equal to his salary through endorsements.

Now his annual income exceeds ten million.

It's no wonder everyone wants to play in big markets, and Stern is trying his best to tell the story of one man, one city, and to make those smaller markets bigger.

On television, Frazier was praising Wade effusively.

He directly compared himself to Wade, who is nicknamed the Robin Hood and is about the same height as Wade.

"Look at this steal, doesn't it remind you of me?"

The TV showed a clip of Wade using a pressing style, then directly stealing the basketball from James's hands, followed by a 360-degree turn and dunk.

Frazier was known as a rogue in his day, which was related to his sharp stealing skills.

Frazier continued, "Honestly, I don't think it makes sense to compare Dwyane and LeBron right now, and it's unfair to LeBron."

"Dwayne trained hard with Don for a summer, and everyone knows Don's magic, so we should compare Dwayne to current stars."

"As for LeBron, he is certainly good and very talented, but he is just a rookie."

He said it was unfair to James, as if he was defending James.

But upon closer reflection, if Wade is already in such a state, then James, the number one draft pick, must be a joke.

“I’m talking about you,” Hamon said, pointing at the television.

She had also experienced Tang Sen's "magic".

On television, Frazier still subtly compared Wade to James.

They also talked about sneaker endorsements.

According to media reports, after Wade's preseason appearance, Nike, Adidas, and other shoe brands urgently contacted him in an attempt to sign him to an endorsement deal.

Don't look at the stats; just look at Wade's performance on the court to know his worth.

Without a doubt, he will become a superstar.

Moreover, his swift and decisive breakthroughs, and his flamboyant playing style, were exactly to the American liking. "One hundred million? Really?" Harmon was speechless when he heard the number announced by the host.

The host said that Nike and Adidas are currently leading the pack, with both offering more than 100 million yuan.

This number is something Hamon could never have dreamed of.

"It should be true."

Tang Sen knew a little about the inside story.

After the draft, shoe brands contacted Wade, wanting to sign him.

But Henry Thomas wasn't stupid either.

Wade came to the Knicks and trained with Townsend, giving him the potential to become the next Brown and Yao Ming.

We should at least benchmark ourselves against Yao Ming and LeBron James.

So he kept putting it off, not signing with any brand, waiting for the new season to start and for Wade to have a breakout season before signing.

Facts have proved that his choice is correct.

According to Tang Sen, Nike was the most eager, having just signed a 7-year, $1.2 million contract extension with Yao Ming after the end of last season.

Centers don't sell shoes, but Yao Ming has the Chinese market behind him, and he's also famous throughout the US, especially in New York.

Therefore, Nike dared not refuse this offer.

If they don't give it to him, Yao Ming might just join Adidas.

Adidas offered Yao Ming over $100 million.

Nike's current idea is to also sign Dwyane Wade, a potential superstar, as a side project.

Her performance has already surpassed that of LeBron James, so a $100 million endorsement deal is reasonable.

But Wade seems to have some other ideas.

He doesn't really want to be with the same shoe brand as LeBron James; he wants to sign with Adidas.

Even though Adidas lost Kobe last year.

But regardless of who he signs, this kid has really become famous.

Harmon leaned against Tang Sen, listening to their exaggerated discussions on TV about the possible signing, and said, "Tang, shouldn't Dwyane thank you properly?"

Perhaps even without Tang Sen, Wade would have become a star in the future based on his talent.

But it won't be that fast.

Tang Sen hugged her closer and chuckled, "Are you trying to say that I might envy them?"

Hamon thought for a moment and nodded.

Tang Sen possesses the Midas touch; seeing the players he trains signing endorsement deals worth hundreds of millions, how could he not be envious?

"What's there to envy? Everyone earns what they're supposed to earn. If I had to envy someone, I'd envy those on Wall Street who can make who-knows-how-many bucks with just a flick of their fingers."

"Besides, will I earn less money than them in the future?"

How many years has your professional career lasted, and how many years has theirs lasted?
He plans to make a steady profit, and in the future, he intends to start a company, like Stern envisioned, to create a sports brand. He believes he will earn more money than these star athletes.

Harmon looked up, hooked his arm around Tang Sen's neck, and said, "Your confident tone is making me want to get trained again."

On television, Frazier was saying that as long as Wade develops smoothly this season, the Knicks will definitely win the championship.

They even said that the current Knicks are just like the Knicks when they won the championship.

Willis Reed personally helped the Knicks draft Yao Ming, and coincidentally, he was the same height as Dwyane Wade.

Back then, he and Wade, one inside and one outside, helped the Knicks win the championship.

If fate had decreed it, then the current Knicks, with Yao Ming and Wade, could have won another championship, and perhaps even started a dynasty.

Tang Sen pulled Harmon close and teased, "You're training so hard, are you trying to win the championship?"

Tang Sen didn't go home until quite late.

Tang Sen has not yet mentioned moving in together.

Living together is a big deal.

Tang Sen thinks the current relationship is pretty good.

……

Wade's performance in the first game was by no means a flash in the pan.

In seven preseason games, Wade averaged 20 minutes per game, scoring 19.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.2 steals.

Not only are his stats top-notch, reaching star level, but most importantly, he's consistent.

In 7 games, he shot 49% from the field, 37% from three-point range, and 86% from the free-throw line.

Very efficient.

Compared to James, he is far superior in both production volume and efficiency.

However, in Wade's mind, his current goal is not James at all.

James is just a rookie.

After playing one preseason game, Wade knew in his heart that James was no match for him.

On his path to greatness, James has already conquered and surpassed even this small goal.

Wade's goal now is to become a true superstar.

He couldn't wait to find out how big the gap was between himself and these top active players.

And the opportunity will come soon.

The league is always looking for gimmicks.

The Knicks will host the Magic in their season opener.

The two teams battled to a Game 7 last season.

The Knicks' loss to the Magic due to a single free throw is still fresh in the minds of New York media and fans.

And the Orlando residents, like the city dwellers, harbor resentment.

The Sentinel has discussed and analyzed this countless times, directly blaming the Knicks for the Magic's inability to defend their title.

Who told you to be so strong, fighting us seven times?

Both sides missed out on the championship because of the other, so this game was as explosive as a clash of titans.

Not to mention lineup adjustments, both head coaches want to test each other's strength.
