Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 441 Invitation Letter
Oak Hill High School.

After being scolded by his mother, Durant's mentality recovered a lot.

The season is over.

However, Durant trains even harder.

My mother said that if you really want to remember Greg, then keep working hard, just like you promised him back then, make it to the NBA, and commemorate him with your success.

Let Greg know that all the hard work he put into me back then was not in vain.

Inside the arena, Durant dribbles, stops abruptly, and shoots a jump shot.

Time and time again, tirelessly.

While they were practicing, teammate Ty Lawson rushed in, waving an envelope.

"Kevin, look! What's this? Don's invitation! Oh my god, you've been chosen!" Lawson shouted excitedly.

Durant's eyes widened suddenly, and he rushed over: "Ty, you're not lying to me, are you?"

Didn't they say they were going to select from all over the world? How did they end up choosing me?

After registering, Durant couldn't help but dream about being selected by Tang Sen.

After all, it was Tang Sen, his idol McGrady, who became one of the league's top stars with Tang Sen's help.

For any basketball player, everyone knows what training with Tang Sen means.

Lawson said, "Don't worry, I'm not lying to you. Look, it was sent from New York."

Durant quickly took it.

It was a fairly large envelope with the LYD logo, the logo of the Tangsen Training Camp, on the front.

It was addressed to Kevin Durant.

"Fake!"

Durant swore and tried to open the envelope, but his hands were trembling with excitement.

Such a huge pie actually hit me on the head.

Just as the envelope was torn open, cheers erupted from the direction of the locker room in the distance.

Durant instinctively asked what was going on over there.

Lawson said, "It's Eric; he also received an invitation."

Durant was taken aback and asked, "Did Eric also receive an invitation?"

Eric Devindorf, the team's starting shooting guard, is averaging 12 points per game this season.

Together with himself, they formed the backcourt duo at Oak Hill High School.

The problem is that Durant thought he had been chosen, that he was the super lucky one.

So all that excitement for nothing. Oak Hill High School alone selected two. How many schools worldwide would they have to select?

He quickly tore open the envelope.

Inside was an invitation letter with some notes.

Durant was asked to travel to New York on June 1st for a week of training after receiving the invitation.

All you need to bring is simple clothing; all food and lodging will be reimbursed by the training camp.

There's also the issue of airfare. If you can't even afford the airfare, you can contact Tangsen's company, and they will purchase the tickets for you.

That's all.

It was just a simple invitation.

Durant was inexplicably disappointed; he genuinely thought he had won the lottery.

"Alright, you're not happy about receiving an invitation?" Lawson punched Durant's chest in annoyance when he saw Durant frowning.

Oak Hill High School enrolled its entire student body this time.

Unfortunately, I wasn't selected.

Some media outlets have reported that it may be due to the location.

To say that Tangsen's goal is to be the next Jordan means that he needs a shooting guard, not a center or point guard.

But even point guards and centers have to take advantage of such opportunities.

What if I have amazing talent and Tang Sen takes a liking to me?

Tang Sen himself said that there are no restrictions, only the best talent is needed.

Durant snapped out of his daze and quickly said no, then cautiously asked Lawson if he hadn't received it.

Lawson shook his head with a pained expression and gestured with his hand on his head.

At 1.8 meters tall, I clearly do not meet Tang Sen's requirements.

“Kevin, this is an incredible opportunity. You have to understand that Don has already created so many miracles, so you must work hard and do everything you can to seize this opportunity.”

Lawson's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said solemnly.

Becoming the best basketball player on the planet is an irresistible temptation for any player.

Now, at least Durant has gotten his chance.

Durant glanced at the invitation in his hand, nodded vigorously, and then quickly ran out of the arena to share the good news with his mother.

The media learned of Tang Sen's sending out invitations immediately and reported on it. The players who received these invitations instantly became the focus of media attention.

Even if this person's stats aren't great, they're still just an ordinary player from some obscure corner of the game.

But being ordinary now doesn't mean you'll be ordinary in the future.

Because Tang Sen took a liking to him.

Far away in Los Angeles.

After school, Leonard Westbrook rushed home and broke down the door to his brother's room.

"Brother, did you receive the invitation?" Leonard asked eagerly.

Inside, Westbrook was reading a book. Seeing his younger brother's expectant look, he shook his head bitterly and said no.

As reported by the media, Tang Sen is sending out invitations everywhere.

Westbrook waited for several days but didn't receive it.

Leonard realized what was happening and quickly said, "Brother, don't worry, I believe you'll definitely receive it."

Westbrook gave a wry smile, rubbed his younger brother's head, and simply nodded.

But he had long since lost all illusions.

He believed that Tang Sen would not overlook him; since he hadn't been selected, it meant he hadn't been chosen.

Also normal.

Tang Sen was saying that they wanted to select the most talented players and cultivate the next Jordan.

With my height, how can I become Jordan?

Leonard hesitated for a moment, then said, "Bro, did you know that Demar in 41st Street received an invitation?"

Westbrook paused, his gaze dimming slightly.

My brother mentioned another basketball prodigy from Compton, whom he was quite familiar with; his name is DeMar DeRozan.

He is only 16 years old and just started high school. He can score an average of 26 points in his first year of high school.

Very strong.

Most importantly, he was taller than me.

"And what about James?" Westbrook asked again.

DeRozan has a close childhood friend named James Harden.

That kid isn't very tall either.

Leonard shook his head, saying that Harden had not received an invitation.

Westbrook felt strangely at ease, thinking that the reason Tang Sen didn't choose him was probably because of his height.

But then, a strong sense of resentment welled up in Westbrook's heart.

Why can't I grow taller?

But no matter how unwilling they were, it was useless; without an invitation, they were not selected.

Tang Sen is still screening.

If someone is a good fit and has talent, we'll send them an invitation.

At the same time, the playoffs were still in full swing.

In the East, the Knicks have swept the Heat 3-0 and are poised to be the first team to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The same goes for the Magic; with the Cavaliers eliminated, the Magic lead the Wizards 2-1.

In the East, the Knicks and Magic are still the main contenders.

On the contrary, the situation in the west is extremely tense.

Today is the 21st, and the Suns and Spurs are tied 2-2.

On the other side, in the Lakers vs. Mavericks game, the Lakers lead 3-1, but the Mavericks still have a chance.

Nowitzki's unstoppable style of play gave Phil Jackson a major headache, as he simply couldn't contain him.

If Nowitzki has another explosive game, the Lakers will lose again.

On the same day, the NBA also held its draft lottery ceremony.

The SuperSonics are last in the league, the Celtics are second to last, and the Jazz are close behind, ranking third to last.

Tang Sen watched the live stream and was very curious about Stern's next move.

As a result, the supersonics were unlucky once again, dropping one place in the standings.

The Celtics got the number one draft pick.

Tang Sen wasn't too surprised by the result.

The Celtics are a traditional powerhouse and a big market team, while Ainge is known for being cunning and ruthless, with enough courage to go all in.

He might actually get the number one draft pick and trade it to the Lakers.

But that's on the condition that the Lakers are willing to make a trade.
