Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 417 The Next Howard
Tang Sen and his two companions left.

Bynum stood there blankly, looking completely bewildered.

After a long pause, Bynum finally asked, "Coach, what's this?"

Aldridge scratched his head.

Townsend then had Bynum take some shots from an extremely long distance.

First of all, he didn't quite understand this testing method.

Bynum is a center.

Do you expect him to shoot three-pointers like Yao Ming?
If you really want to test someone's talent, test their offensive skills under the basket, and test how fast they can run and how high they can jump.

Then, after the test was completed, nothing was said.

It was neither good nor bad.

After chatting for a few minutes, I said goodbye and left.

This left Aldridge completely bewildered, with no idea whether Townsend had taken a liking to Bynum.

At that moment, McCoy rushed down from the stands and nervously asked Aldridge what he thought.

"I really do not know."

Aldridge shook his head with a wry smile, but more importantly, he didn't dare to ask.

After a pause, Aldridge said, "It should be fine. If he wasn't interested in Andrew, why would he come to watch Andrew play?"

Someone as busy as him wouldn't have the time for this.

Since they're here, it means they've already developed an interest in Bynum.

"Perhaps he just needs to think about it some more?"

This is no small matter.

McCoy nodded, then couldn't resist tugging on Bynum's ear.

She was so anxious in the stands just now.

What's wrong with you, brat? Just do what people tell you to do, and that's it, why are you talking back?

Bynum, afraid of his mother, shrank back and hid.

At this point, Corey Bynum said, "Isn't his training fee very high?"

At this point, Aldridge fell silent.

I thought to myself, that's not just high, it's terrifyingly high.

A million-dollar training camp is no joke.

But that's exactly what it's worth.

If you invest a million, you can earn many more millions in return.

The key issue is that Bynum is still a poor student, so how can he afford this?

Should I pay it back when I make money?

McCoy gritted his teeth and said, "I'll figure out the money. I'm willing to pay any price as long as Andrew can train with Tang."

Upon hearing this, Bynum became agitated and retorted, "I don't need him. I can be the best player myself."

"Fool!"

McCoy turned and slapped Bynum, scolding him, "Even if you do make it to the NBA, do you know how many years the average NBA player's career is?"

"But if you can become the top scorer, gain Tang's appreciation, and train with him, you will receive incredible resources."

"Without him, you'd be dreaming if you wanted to get these resources."

McCoy was smart; she had a clear plan in mind.

It's like being in a company where, even if you're capable, you need to gain the appreciation of management and get into the right position to succeed.

Relying solely on oneself to climb the ladder step by step, even disregarding the possibility of success, requires at least ten times the effort.

McCoy continued to lecture his son: "So if you ever have the chance to train with Don in the future, and you slack off, just wait and see how I deal with you."

Bynum dared not disobey his mother and quickly nodded.

Meanwhile, Tang Sen and his two companions had already returned to New York.

On the train, Tedeschi remained patient.

Since Tang Sen is willing to train, I'll just work overtime and earn some extra money.

I don't care if I don't want to.

But Connors couldn't resist. He practically patted his chest and assured McCoy that if he signed Bynum, he would definitely find a way to get him training with Townsend. "Town, what are you thinking? What do you think of that kid? Is he very talented?" Connors asked eagerly.

Tang Sen slowed down and waited at the traffic light. After thinking for a moment, he said, "He definitely has talent."

Tang Sen stopped there.

She definitely has talent.

That size, that wingspan, that agility.

They also have good shooting talent.

"The only problem is his potential injury history."

Tang Sen still believes that if Bynum wants to become a superstar, he needs to maintain a certain weight.

However, being overweight has both advantages and disadvantages.

Especially considering his pre-existing knee injury risks.

Even strengthening knee muscles and improving knee stability may not be effective.

Carrying such a heavy weight while playing ball will inevitably lead to injuries over time.

But if he loses weight, he might not necessarily gain an advantage.

So Tang Sen was somewhat conflicted.

Connors didn't care and said, "So what if there are injuries? What profession can go through life without getting injured? Even Kwame is starting to have injuries."

Brown also suffered some injuries this season, but fortunately they were all minor issues.

In Connors' view, professional athletes are inevitably accompanied by injuries.

Tedsky sensed Tang Sen's concerns and thought for a moment before saying, "Tang, what if there are two choices?"

"One is to use your body carefully and try to prolong your career as much as possible."

"The other is to give it your all, at any cost, to strive for the highest achievement, even if your career is short."

"I think many players would still choose the latter."

"It's not just because they have the potential to become superstars and earn more money, but also because they've had the opportunity to shine."

"In this brutal league, if you can achieve glory once, leave your name, and be remembered by many people, I think that's every player's dream."

"However, many players don't even have that opportunity. They enter the league quietly, stay for a few years, and then leave quietly."

"If it were me, I would definitely choose the latter, at least to prove that I once had a glorious past."

Tang Sen glanced at Tedsky with surprise.

Tang Sen understood what he meant.

To put it bluntly, it's like a moth drawn to a flame, willing to give up everything for a fleeting moment of brilliance.

"Okay, I'll think about it some more."

Tang Sen decided to think about it some more.

Choosing to train Bynum is tantamount to taking on his dream as well.

There were reporters present, and unsurprisingly, that evening, a local New York television station reported on Tang Sen's appearance at the high school league.

The news spread very quickly.

The next day, almost all the sports media in the United States reported that Tang Sen had gone to a high school league to watch a high school game.

All media outlets believe that Tang Sen has been idle for too long and is itching to get back to his old ways.

These media reports naturally attracted the attention of all teams.

Last year, Tang Sen went to watch Howard play, then signed him to his team. Six months later, he gave the league a fully-formed superstar center.

Now, Bynum is the next Howard.

For all teams, anything produced by Tangsen is guaranteed to be of high quality.

In addition, they are all centers, and even a heavy center like Shaquille O'Neal.

Once they reach maturity, they will be the cornerstone of the team for the next decade.

Therefore, the next day, not only did a large number of media outlets rush to St. Joseph's High School to try to interview Bynum, but the attention of all teams in the league also focused on Metuchen.

On the desk of every head coach in the league, there is Bynum's scouting report.

Even Carlisle called Townsend specifically to ask about Bynum's situation and his actual talent level.
