Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 433 What Should a Top Basketball Player Possess?

Once the thought took hold, it spread uncontrollably through Tang Sen's mind, like a virus.

Everyone should have some pursuits in life.

I don't lack money.

They are guaranteed to earn tens of millions of US dollars every year.

For me, this amount of money is more than enough to enjoy life to the fullest without restraint.

Tang Sen wanted to pursue something special.

Since God has given me a system, I have to do something special.

For example, training someone like Jordan.

Or rather, to train a basketball god even more formidable than Jordan.

Tang Sen quickly got up, went to the blackboard in the office, picked up a pen and began to write.

What should a top basketball player possess?

For example, physical fitness.

Tang Sen hesitated for a moment, then began to write down the important talents one by one.

Speed, agility, strength, jumping ability.

Speed, balance, flexibility, coordination.

You can also add physical strength, and even the body's endurance.

This is only the dynamic aspect of talent.

There are also static ones.

Height and wingspan, body-to-leg ratio, a neck that's too long won't work, and shoulders that's too narrow won't work.

A small butt is a problem.

Tang Sen hesitated for a moment, then crossed out this line.

I want to develop a Jordan, not a Shaq. The size of his butt isn't that important.

Hands must be big.

Bone density, muscle strength, and the ability to attach to flesh.

There are also some talents that cannot be measured by standards.

For example, feel for the ball, learning ability, ball control, and ball intelligence.

Tang Sen took a step back, examined the blackboard, and pondered what other talents he might have besides the twenty-odd ones mentioned above.

And this is just the basics.

Willpower is also very important. Jordan became the god of basketball not only because of his top-notch physical talent, but also because of his extremely strong fighting spirit.

A personality like Howard's isn't enough.

You need to be self-disciplined enough, have an extremely strong competitive spirit, and have a constant desire to improve.

Most importantly, you have to love basketball.

Tangsen needs this player to be physically and mentally prepared.

The remaining technology, we'll have to rely on ourselves.

Tang Sen pulled up a chair and sat down, staring intently at the blackboard, pondering how to find such a player.

The age cannot be too high.

To be honest, the skills of NCAA players have already been largely established.

Tang Sen believes in late bloomers, but thinks that if someone has truly top-tier talent, they would have already made a name for themselves.

High school students are a good age group.

Even when they are very young, their bodies are not fully developed, and their talents cannot be seen yet.

There are also active players.

Every year, the players who make it into the NBA are already the best of the best, selected through a process of natural selection.

A name popped into Tang Sen's mind: Kobe.

But after a moment's hesitation, Tang Sen decided to give up.

Kobe has been successful enough.

He has practiced all the necessary techniques and has reached the limit of his talent.

Moreover, at such an advanced age, they have already lost their malleability.

Then James has to be ruled out too.

James' talent is top-notch, but he's still not good enough in some aspects.

Of the twenty-odd items in front of him, he at most satisfied half.

Tang Sen mentally reviewed all the current players, but had no specific target in mind.

I got up and poured myself a glass of wine.

Now that Tangsen knows what kind of players he needs, there's only one other question left.

How to find such players.

Scout.

This was the first thought that popped into Tang Sen's mind.

Finding talent is the core job of a scout.

The NBA has 30 teams and employs hundreds of scouts who travel the world in search of top basketball talent.

They have firsthand information.

Otherwise, an agent would be fine. Not a big-name agent.

Top agents only focus on players who have already made a name for themselves.

On the contrary, those shady agents, who frequent lower leagues, try to discover a talent using their eye for talent.

Then, by cultivating good relationships, once the player makes it to the NBA, you can also benefit from their success.

The only problem is that some talents can only be seen by Tang Sen himself.

Or rather, it would require Tang Sen to personally train the children and gain a thorough understanding before he could confirm this.

But it's impossible for me to fly all over the world.

Tangsen can give scouts and shady agents a sum of money to recommend players for him.

But if they were to make a recommendation, they would definitely only mention the positive aspects.

Even if they rave about it, you can't be sure if a player is the one you want unless you see them for yourself.

Tang Sen felt he should come up with a solution.

At the lowest possible cost, gather together geniuses from across the country and even the world, and let them choose the genius they want.

Thinking of this, Tang Sen picked up the phone on the table and called Moore.

Inform him that you are going to this year's Chicago training camp and ask him to remind all the agents in advance.

Those players predicted to be high draft picks, stop hiding yourselves and come to training camp honestly.

Tang Sen decided to take a look.

After thinking for a moment, Tang Sen called Connors again.

He used to be a shady agent, but now he's back in the game and understands the agent business much better.

When Connors received Tang Sen's call, he thought something had happened to Bynum.

After confirming that there were no problems, I breathed a slight sigh of relief before asking Tang Sen what the purpose of his call was.

"Discovering geniuses?"

Connors didn't quite understand Tang Sen's meaning at first, and asked in surprise, "Tang, the top basketball talents who come to train with you every year are already the best. You can just wait at the training camp. Why do you need to actively seek them out?"

Every year, the rookies wish they could train with Tang Sen.

In Connors' view, as long as Tang Sen raises his arms and calls, wouldn't there be a huge response?

"correct."

Speaking of talent, Connors suddenly said, "Don, one of my men recommended a player to me. I think he's pretty good. Would you like to take a look? If you think he has potential, I'll sign him."

Tang Sen knew that Connors had misunderstood, but since they were already on the topic, he went along with it and asked who it was.

Connors said, "He's a guy from the Portsmouth training camp that just ended."

Upon hearing about the Portsmouth training camp, Tang Sen had already lost interest.

It's not that I look down on this training camp; as a preliminary step for joint trials, it has certain reference value and attracts attention.

But this is for senior players.

If a player is reduced to playing in the Portsmouth training camp, he has basically said goodbye to the NBA.

Fame should be sought early; if you haven't made it by your senior year, you can only hope for late-blooming success.

Of course, that's not always the case; Portsmouth has also produced top-tier players.

For example, Pippen, Rodman, and Stockton.

Connors continued, "This guy is from the University of Kentucky, his name is Chuck Hayes."

"Tang, do you know, he plays center, and what's even more amazing is that he's only 6'6".

“I think he could become the next Barkley, the next Rodman, or even the next Harvey.”

"His rebounding is exceptional, and he even won the MVP award at training camp. Would you like to watch his video? I can send it to you right now."

Before Tang Sen could say whether he agreed or refused, Connors sent a message asking Tang Sen to take a look.

Tang Sen shook his head inwardly and had no choice but to go to the computer and open his email.

He didn't send it over at all; instead, he sent Tang Sen a website link and told him to look it up online.

“Ryan, he’s only 6 feet 6 inches, too short,” Tangsen said casually.

Playing as a 6-foot-6 center is a huge disadvantage from the start.

The website link also opens; it's a team promotional video produced by the Kentavious Wildcats' official website.

Tang Sen unexpectedly saw a familiar face: Rajon Rondo.

Then I saw Hayes. He was indeed quite short; even standing under the basket, he looked rather petite.

The video was made in a fancy way, with some subtitles introducing Hayes' average of 7.7 rebounds per game, the most on the team.

Excellent free throw shooter; the best free throw shooter on the team.

Tang Sen's attention was drawn to his pair of calves.

At first glance, it looks almost as thick as Yao Ming, a 7-foot-5 giant.

No wonder he can play center; his lower body strength must be extraordinary.

However, his athleticism isn't good enough to become Rodman Havi.

Meanwhile, the two were still chatting on the phone.

Upon hearing that Tang Sen wanted a way to bring together basketball geniuses from all over the world, Connors paused for a moment and suddenly said, "Tang, why don't you make a show, like offering a million-dollar reward to find basketball geniuses?"

programme?

Tang Sen's eyes lit up suddenly, and he sat up straight.
