Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 414 That brat named Auden
After the training camp ended, Tangsen did not take the opportunity to rent out the huge venue.

Firstly, we don't care about the rent.

Secondly, there is a risk of equipment damage when renting it out, and if you suddenly need to use it again, you may not be able to retrieve it due to the lease agreement.

So now this training hall, an indoor facility, is occasionally used as a competition venue for children from the local community.

The outdoor courts are open to the public free of charge year-round, and they are poised to become the most famous outdoor courts on Long Island.

Grover returned to Chicago.

Tedsky has been living in New York for a long time.

As for Brittenham, he remained with the Knicks and continued to serve as their head trainer.

Hall and Frazier also stayed in New York.

This is New York, already the most prosperous city in the United States, the ultimate goal for all working professionals.

That day, Tangsen invited Tederski and the other two to the training facility. In the lounge, they gathered together and, while chatting, discussed Bynum's situation.

The television was showing a recording of Bynum's game.

This kid is 17 years old this year, but when he was 13, he met an AAU head coach named Larry Marshall and slowly began to get systematic basketball training.

Last season, he played 16 games, averaging 16 points, 13 rebounds, and 6 blocks, and was selected to the All-New Jersey First Team.

By this time, he had already begun to exert his dominance.

In his senior year of high school, before the league season even ended, he was already averaging an astonishing 23 points, 16 rebounds, and 5 blocks per game.

The television program was showing recordings of his recent matches.

“He has quite a bit of talent,” Hall said after observing for a while.

He grew up alongside McGrady and witnessed McGrady's genius in high school. He believes that Bynum's dominant performance on the court now is no less than McGrady's back then.

Tedeschi nodded in agreement, saying, "His physical and dynamic talents are both good, especially his static talents. His size is good, and he's only 17 years old. He should be able to continue to grow taller after entering the league."

Frazier said, "It's just that the technique is a bit lacking."

Tedsky laughed and said, "Bruce, these are high school students, none of them are good at it."

As he spoke, Tedsky turned to Tang Sen and asked, "Tang, are you going to train the rookies ahead of time, like Dwight did?"

"If that's the case, then I think it's alright."

He had just looked through Bynum's scouting report.

现在裸足2米13，穿鞋能有2米16，臂展很惊人，达到了2米29。

Then look at the body shape: broad shoulders, extremely short neck, and very tall.

His legs are incredibly long, and his body proportions are simply made for basketball.

He can run and jump, and makes various low-angle turns, looking very agile. Keep in mind, he now weighs a full 300 pounds, or 136 kilograms.

Tang Sen nodded noncommittally, nestled in the sofa, and flipped through some other documents.

Moore's ability to work as Tang Sen's assistant is beyond question; the amount of information he collected was almost at the level of hiring a private investigator.

They collected and organized all the information they thought was related to basketball, including Bynum's family background.

One part of it is Bynum's physical condition.

This kid has a significant risk of injury or health problems.

The problem was with his knee.

He had already undergone several knee surgeries before even joining the NBA.

Last season, he only played 16 games because of a severe knee contusion and a minor tear in his anterior cruciate ligament.

The root cause of frequent knee problems goes back even further.

He was so tall; at 14 years old, he was already 2.08 meters tall barefoot.

Moore even consulted with a professional doctor, who speculated that Bynum's problem was a so-called Q-angle abnormality, which caused insufficient stability in his knee joint.

Therefore, knee injuries are common.

As he grew, his physical growth kept pace with his bone growth, which alleviated the problem somewhat, but it remains a significant concern.

Tangsen closed the file and handed it to Tederski and the others. Judging from the game footage, disregarding technique, Bynum's talent is quite good.

It's excellent in static images, and it's also good in dynamic images.

The only problem, according to Tang Sen, is whether his knees can withstand maintaining his current weight while playing.

Being overweight can damage your knees.

If he loses weight, he won't be able to pose the same threat as O'Neal.

Sometimes, Tang Sen really marveled at how O'Neal's knees were truly a historic gift.

His toes are always injured; they're so heavy that they're deformed from the pressure.

But his knees have remained largely problem-free, which is simply unbelievable.

Tang Sen decided to meet the brat in person.

After meeting, his physical condition can be scanned into the system, and any potential health problems can be clearly identified.

The next day, Tang Sen drove up and picked up Tederski.

They picked up Ryan Connors halfway through the journey.

The two have kept in touch, but haven't seen each other for a while.

He's busy now; he's left Duffy and started his own agency.

Bynum is only a senior in high school and hasn't decided whether to participate in the draft, so he doesn't have an agent.

However, if he wants to train with Tang Sen, it would be best to have an agent to help him with things outside of training.

Since he didn't want the good stuff to go to outsiders, Tang Sen thought of Connors.

On the way to Metuchen, when the topic of whose match they were going to watch came up, Connors surprisingly knew.

Seeing the surprised look on Tang Sen's face, Connors asked in return, "Is it strange? My company focuses on high school prodigies, how could we not know this guy?"

Bynum's performance in his senior year of high school was already quite impressive.

In Connors's opinion, anyone who has watched his games would not doubt that he could make it into the NBA.

"Tang, if you decide to train him personally, wouldn't he be a shoo-in for this year's number one draft pick?" Connors asked excitedly.

With Tang Sen's intervention, coupled with Bynum's superhuman talent, the situation became even more complex.

Without a doubt, the top scorer can be predicted right now.

In that case, I must seize the opportunity and sign Bynum.

Tang Sen waved his hand and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I need to observe it further."

"Come on, Tang."

Connors scoffed and said, "You're such a busy person, if you weren't interested in this kid, would you sacrifice your personal time to watch his game?"

Tang Sen shook his head and said, "First of all, I'm not busy at all right now, I'm very free, so why can't I go and watch a high school basketball game?"

Secondly, it wasn't that I was interested in him.

It's David Stern.

Connors didn't argue with Tang Sen, and said, "Tang, if you want to train geniuses, I can recommend someone to you."

“A kid named Greg Oden, born in '88, almost 17 years old.”

“I’ve watched his game videos, and his talent is unbelievably high. You know, last year when he was a junior in high school, he was already selected for the Parade All-American Third Team.”

"He's already 6'11" tall with a 7'4" wingspan. Seriously, Tang, if you've seen him, you'll know I'm not exaggerating. This guy is going to be one of the league's top centers."

After saying that, he added that he must find a way to snatch Oden next summer.

Tang Sen did not comment.

Based on Connors' description, this kid named Oden seems pretty good; he's tall and has an excellent wingspan.

There are too many talented players in the NBA, but only a very few are truly qualified to become superstars.

Most importantly, how can you know how strong someone's talent is if you haven't seen them in person?
