Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 342 is even worse than James.

Kidd made a brilliant pass, and Martin, who received the ball, drove straight to the basket.

He doesn't have many manual skills, but he can run and jump, and he always plays with great passion.

With Kidd's help, he became even more formidable. Once he got going, no one could stop him, and he often delivered spectacular dunks.

But this time, someone stood in his way.

The two giants leaped up one after the other and collided violently in mid-air.

Despite his slow start, Gazuric jumped significantly higher and his outstretched arm precisely caught the basketball.

A solid block.

A gasp rippled through the stands.

Howard's scalp tingled, and he couldn't help but shout out, then excitedly pointed at the court and said, "Sir, did you see that? It's terrifying!"

Howard used to watch games on TV.

Sitting on the sidelines now, the visual impact is simply incomparable to what it used to be.

Putting himself in Gazuric's shoes, Howard felt he wouldn't dare go up for that ball.

Martin had already charged forward; he was all muscle and as strong as a monster.

But Judah Zulić managed to knock him down from mid-air.

It's like King Kong leaping from the Empire State Building and snapping a picture of a fighter jet.

If it were him, Howard felt he would be hit and killed.

"too crazy."

Howard kept muttering to himself, feeling that compared to the NBA, his high school basketball was child's play.

What's even more alarming is that players like Gazuric only get playing time during garbage time with the Knicks.

How powerful would Yao Ming be if he started?

Before, when I watched Yao Ming play against Collins, it seemed effortless and incredibly easy. Now that I think about it, Howard realizes just how impressive that performance was.

Anyway, Martin wouldn't dare to charge so recklessly towards the basket when Yao Ming was on the court.

The Knicks easily won the game 110-91, with Spike Lee's provocative actions towards New Jersey fans.

They only won by 19 points.

Unlike before, when they could easily beat their opponents by 30 or 40 points and limit their opponents' scores to around 80 points.

This is related to Carlisle's adjustments.

In the second half of the season, the Knicks faced relatively weaker opponents.

Carlisle discovered that he didn't need to be a perfect blend of offense and defense; he could easily defeat his opponents by focusing solely on offense.

40 points is a win, 10 points is also a win.

Reduce the players' defensive burden, rotate more players, pass more, and have more players contributing, spread the risk of injuries evenly, and try to save energy for the playoffs.

Howard jumped and danced along with them.

Although it was just one game, he already considers himself a Knicks fan.

I've never seen such a strong team.

As the players from both teams returned to their locker rooms, Howard nervously and expectantly asked if he could go to the Knicks' locker room.

Go see Yao Ming, and the other players.

Goodwin always tried his best to play the role of an omnipotent person in front of Howard, and tried his best to meet all his demands.

However, this request could not be met; it was a changing room, not a place that just anyone could walk into.

“Dwight, don’t be envious. Soon, in just a few months, you’ll be standing on a field like theirs, with everyone in the stands chanting your name.”

"Think about what kind of scene that would be."

Goodwin put his arm around Howard's shoulder and described the beautiful scene to him.

Howard nodded vigorously, a look of anticipation in his eyes.

Follow the audience as they walk out.

The New York fans outside were even more frenzied.

With 76 wins, a perfect season is really not far away.

As he approached the door, Howard suddenly slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot to ask for an autograph!"

Tang Sen had previously agreed to help him get Yao Ming's autograph.

Goodwin said that Tangsen was too busy and that it would be the same to ask for him later. Howard would have plenty of time to spend with Tangsen in the future.

“No, I want it now, he already promised me,” Howard argued.

At that moment, he was like a child whose parents would threaten to stay if they didn't buy him a toy.

Goodwin cursed under his breath. He had long thought that Howard was a spoiled child who could get whatever he wanted.

Fortunately, at that moment, a Knicks staff member came over, found Goodwin and his companion, and gave them a jersey.

Tang Sen remembers this, and he wouldn't lie to a child.

Yao Ming's No. 11 jersey was signed and worn by him; it even still smelled of sweat.

Howard jumped up and down excitedly.

Goodwin shook his head speechlessly and gestured for Howard to leave.

That night, the two stayed in a luxury hotel in the city.

Goodwin was busy arranging a private tutor for Howard, but Tang Sen had said that if Howard's grades weren't good, he could just get out of there.

He believed Tang Sen wasn't joking.

Look at Darius Miles, he really just leaves whenever he wants.

The players from his generation have long since taken off and become famous.

Then look at Miles, who was abandoned by the Cavaliers and sent to the Trail Blazers, still wandering around, wasting his life.

the next day.

Goodwin got up early and went to knock on Howard's door.

I can't open it.

Just as Goodwin thought something had happened to the person and was about to find someone to open the door, the door finally opened.

Howard appeared before Goodwin, yawning and still half-asleep.

"What time did you go to bed?"

Goodwin walked in, his brow furrowed.

Various food and drinks were scattered on the table in the suite's living room.

Pizza, fried chicken, and drinks.

The bed inside was the same—a complete mess, covered in all sorts of snacks.

Even... a playboy?
Goodwin picked up a bottle of soda with a look of disgust, and it seemed he only took a sip.

Many snacks are the same; I only ate a few bites. Even fast food takeout containers.

Goodwin quickly glanced at the mess on the ground and secretly rejoiced.

No alcohol or contraband was seen.

There wasn't a naked woman lying on the bed inside.

"Dwight, what are you doing?"

Goodwin asked, suppressing his anger.

Howard rubbed his face, and only when he heard Goodwin's serious tone did he start to feel guilty, asking if these things cost a lot of money.

He pointed to the phone and explained that as long as he made a call, whatever he wanted, someone would deliver it to him.

Before I knew it, I had asked for more than I should have.

"It's not about money."

Goodwin frowned.

These expenses, of course, must be paid by oneself.

But Goodwin wasn't bothered by all these expenses.

For Dwight Howard, who is about to become a professional athlete, overeating and consuming all kinds of junk food is considered indulgence.

Tang Sen probably hates this kind of player the most.

In his few media interviews, Tang Sen repeatedly mentioned the importance of hard work.

Goodwin sat down, rubbing his temples, a headache coming on.

He previously thought Howard was simpler and easier to control than James.

I've only just realized that LeBron James is actually pretty good too.

At least in terms of self-discipline, he is far superior to Howard.

Goodwin pointed to the bathroom, signaling Howard to hurry up and take a shower, as Tang Ling would be coming over soon to arrange things for the day.

He didn't want Howard to leave a bad impression on Tang Ling.

"And all of this."

Goodwin pointed to all the trash around him and said in a deep voice, "Clean this up for me."

Howard muttered, "Can't they clean the hotel? Let them do it."

As he spoke, he quickly hid in the bathroom.

Goodwin was so angry that he rolled his eyes and had no choice but to go out and call room service.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Tang Ling arrived as promised.

She is now the head of Townsend Training Company, and all of Howard's training expenses will go through this company's accounts.

Goodwin made the initial payment.

Howard hasn't entered the NBA yet, but he still earns a lot of money, just like other stars, $300,000 a month.

Goodwin approves of this fee.

Paying the same price as a star player means enjoying star-level training.

Moreover, you only need to pay for two months; after the draft, the team can cover that cost.

Knowing that Tang Ling was Tang Sen's older sister, Goodwin dared not be negligent.

Today's main task is to arrange Howard's daily life from now on.

He lives in the same apartment building where the Knicks role players live, next door to Kenyon Dooling.

Howard was extremely excited to hear that he would be living alone.

He is now like a bird released from its cage, free to roam the sky.

Tang Ling observed Howard's reaction.

What are you thinking about when you live alone?

After she finished explaining the apartment, Howard's roommate arrived.

Ethan Valentine.

Last year, he was Harvey's sparring partner. He is 2.13 meters tall and previously played for the University of Connecticut.

He didn't make it to the NBA, graduated a long time ago, and now does some basketball-related work.

Mainly, they are sparring partners.

He has already established a long-term partnership with Tang Sen, and this summer he will enter the training camp as a sparring partner.

"Hello."

Ethan, who has a mild temperament, greeted Howard with a smile as he dragged his suitcase.

Howard's dream of living alone was shattered, and he whispered to Tang Ling that he could live without sharing a room with someone.

"No."

Tang Ling not only refused, but refused very thoroughly, pointing to the door and saying, "If you don't accept, you can leave now, and I'll buy you a plane ticket to return to Atlanta immediately."

Goodwin turned pale with fright and hurriedly grabbed Howard, agreeing.

Tang Ling continued, "Ethan will tell you your specific schedule. All your meals will be delivered by a designated person."

"Then training starts tomorrow. You must be at the training center before five o'clock in the morning. I hope you won't be late on the first day."

Tang Ling did not mention the consequences of being late.

But Goodwin knew in his heart that it meant he had to get out.

He remembered that Darius Miles was traded by the Knicks because he was late.

Howard was somewhat frightened and looked to Goodwin for help.

Goodwin ignored him.

Tang Ling saw it all.

This was all arranged by Tang Sen.

In particular, arranging for Ethan to live with Howard was to supervise Howard in his daily life.

This kid needs to be managed, not just through verbal instruction; someone needs to supervise him at all times.

Ethan is the best choice.

He had worked with Harvey and was familiar with Townsend's training schedule.

He's an inside player, and he played quite well at the University of Connecticut.

He has experience in college basketball, and through spending time together, he can pass on that experience to Howard.

As a college student himself, he could tutor Howard in his studies.

Most importantly, he is obedient and knows that his current job is hard-earned, so he will strictly demand anything that Tang Sen says of Howard.
