Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 432 Training a Basketball God

The team was down 0-3.

After three consecutive losses, their momentum completely gone, and they were on the verge of being swept out of the competition in their final match.

You stepped up, carried the whole game, and achieved a new career high in scoring, a double-double of 50+ points, single-handedly saving the team.

If this isn't a hero, then what is?

At the post-game press conference, D'Antoni said, "Dwight saved the Suns tonight, he saved me, he's a hero." This statement spread throughout the United States the very next day.

A young man who had just turned 20 was undeniably elevated to the pedestal of a super center.

The media is hyping it up, and the fans are watching.

The story of a hero saving the world may be old-fashioned, but it will never lack a market.

The only question is whether the rescue can continue indefinitely.

Even Stern specifically sought out Tang Sen, subtly suggesting that they help the Sun.

Tang Sen understood what he meant: the referee should intervene and help the Suns.

Tang Sen had witnessed the referee's methods before.

It truly reached the level of subtle influence, like when you're on a hot streak, they subtly give you a controversial foul, making you furious and feeling like you've swallowed a fly.

The feel of the ball can drop immediately.

For those veteran referees who have spent their entire careers in the NBA, their control over the pace of the game is truly exceptional.

In Stern's words, with Howard becoming the hero, the Suns' attention has already increased.

Try to drag it out to a Game 7, and build up the hype before making any further moves.

Moreover, he believes that the Suns will ultimately lose in Game 7.

By then, the hype will be there, those who are meant to be heroes will become heroes, those who are meant to advance will advance, and in the end, endless regrets will remain, creating topics for the rematch next year.

“David, believe me, without any help, I think the solar energy will win.”

Tang Sen made a point of watching the fourth match.

It's clear that D'Antoni already knows his methods won't work against the Kings.

He has found a way to win.

Tang Sen knew Howard's abilities, having trained him himself.

The King couldn't stop Howard.

Once Howard's position is activated, other positions can also be activated.

If we play the traditional positional style of play and compare strength on paper, the Kings are no match for the Suns.

Therefore, there is no need for the alliance to do anything.

Only by winning on their own can they silence all criticism.

If they lose, they can accept it gracefully and try again next year.

Tang Sen only half-believed in Stern's theories.

Tang Sen thought his methods of telling good stories, cultivating star players, and creating buzz were flawless.

Tang Sen really couldn't agree with the idea of ​​meddling all the time.

Like I said before, if you lose, it's because you're bad at the game, there's no other reason.

If you've been given a chance and can't seize it, then you should first look for the problem within yourself.

Sometimes Tang Sen felt that Stern really should have calmed down.

Just like the league today, the Knicks and Lakers have already garnered enough attention, and their overseas markets are steadily expanding, resulting in increased revenue, which is enough.

Take it slow, you can't get fat in one bite.

Stern was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Tangsen to be so optimistic about the Suns.

"Ok."

Stern hesitated for a moment, then dropped the matter.

In any case, the current NBA landscape is still largely a battle between the Lakers and the Knicks over East and West.

Although it's only the first round, the hype has already started to rise.

Especially online, fans on the East Coast and West Coast have been debating whether the Lakers can get revenge this year.

He asked about the baby shark's training progress.

"Good."

As for Bynum, it can only be described as proceeding step by step.

Tang Sen said, "David, you need to understand that Andrew's talent is not enough to allow him to reach Shaq's level."

Bynum definitely has talent, and his talent is quite good.

But they are still quite a distance from O'Neal's level.

Just like Eddie Curry, who once proclaimed himself the next Shaq, but what happened? He's still nowhere to be seen.

Stern said he knew, but told Tang Sen to take care of it.

We also talked about the summer training camp. The playoffs have already started, and the offseason is just around the corner.

Return to your office.

When the conversation turned to Bynum, Tangsen couldn't help but wonder about who would get the number one draft pick.

In 02, Stern intervened and forcibly gave the Knicks the number one draft pick.

Last year, the sun also had a stroke of luck and successfully completed its reconstruction.

What about this year?

His concern for Bynum's situation is clearly aimed at finding a successor for O'Neal for the Lakers.

If the Lakers are determined to trade Shaquille O'Neal, who is still capable of playing, they could indeed get the number one draft pick.

So who could it be?
This year, the Celtics are last in the Eastern Conference, and the SuperSonics are last in the Western Conference.

Moreover, there is a very clear indication that the strength of the East and West is becoming more balanced.

The Celtics are only nine games behind the ninth-placed Pacers, unlike before when they were often ten or twenty games behind.

This is true for both the eastern and western parts of the country.

Nowadays, each team guarantees at least one or two star players, which would have been considered top-tier in the past, so the gap in strength between weaker teams wasn't as significant.

The Celtics have the worst record in the entire league.

This is also related to the fact that at the end of the season, Ainge realized that making the playoffs was hopeless and chose to tank.

The problem is, if the Celtics get the number one pick, it feels like they might not necessarily select Bynum.

LaFrentz is averaging 14.7 points and 9.6 rebounds this season, which is a good performance.

With the addition of Swift and Pierce on the wing, if they get the number one pick, Townsend believes they would be more willing to strengthen their perimeter.

On the contrary, the Supersonics will be more lacking in the paint.

Tang Sen couldn't figure out Stern's thoughts.

When the old fox is in front of others, he always seems to be wearing a human skin mask, making it impossible for anyone to guess his true thoughts.

I turned my chair around and looked out the window.

Outside lies the bustling Manhattan skyline, lined with towering skyscrapers.

Tang Sen's thoughts were racing.

Who will get the number one draft pick? And how will each team perform in this year's playoffs? For example, where will the Mavericks and Suns go, and how far will they go?

To be honest, Tang Sen didn't care that much.

For Tang Sen now, this is just normal work.

Training rookies and watching them get the number one draft pick.

Train star players, watch the team grow stronger, become a championship contender, achieve good results, and even win the championship.

For Tang Sen, this was just like training now, a routine and ordinary job.

However, long working hours can easily cause people to lose their passion.

Now, when training Bynum, Townsend comes to the sidelines every day as usual, like clocking in for work, to provide extra training.

This kind of training is just like any other ordinary job.

The system has long been at its maximum level.

Tang Sen was trying to find some passion.

Just like when the dream began, we trained Brown with passion and watched him grow step by step.

It can bring a strong sense of accomplishment and a high level of passion.

But now, it can no longer be found.

Sometimes, the thought of repeating this kind of work for decades fills Tang Sen with fear.

What Tang Sen wanted was not just how much money he made, but more like a pursuit.

such as……

Tang Sen looked out the window, and the thoughts in his mind gradually became clear.

For example, training someone like Jordan.

I regret not being able to keep up with the young Jordan. I wonder what level Jordan could have reached with my help.

He has trained many superstars.

But only a superstar.

They were a level below Jordan.

Training superstars no longer gives Tang Sen a sense of accomplishment.

So how do you train a basketball god?

Tang Sen's gaze hardened, and a surge of eagerness welled up within him.
