Basketball trainer, I created a super giant

Chapter 444 is not so perfect
Oak Hill High School is located at the mouth of the Wilson River, not far from New York City.

Durant's mother could still afford the plane ticket.

A day earlier, Durant and his teammate Eric Devindorf arrived in New York together.

At Newark Airport, you will be greeted by a dedicated person.

The invitation letter states that I must arrive on the 31st.

If you arrive on June 1st, then I'm sorry, you've already been eliminated.

Newark Airport is huge and bustling with traffic. After getting off the plane, the training camp staff picked up Durant and his companion, took them to an area in the terminal, and then hurriedly returned to pick up the others.

Durant only found out how many people had received invitations this time.

Looking around, there were dozens of people, all around two meters tall.

They were all young people with innocent faces, standing there blankly and waiting.

Not far away, a large number of reporters were taking pictures.

Several reporters came over and rudely took pictures of Durant's face.

Among the fifty-odd players present, Durant stood out like a crane among chickens, exceeding the average level.

Passengers passing by would often stop and point.

Durant, who is already introverted, was extremely nervous at this moment.

Players were continuously being brought over by staff.

Seventy people, one hundred people...

There were white people, black people, and many others whose skin color and appearance clearly indicated they were from South America.

The more people gather, the more people gather.

It also attracts more attention.

The crowd waited from morning until afternoon.

There were already complaints from the crowd, complaining about why they were being left here like monkeys.

They only gave us a hot dog for lunch.

Most importantly, after several hours of this tedious waiting, everyone's patience had been exhausted.

Finally, everyone was present.

Durant glanced around and couldn't count the exact number, but there were five buses that were completely full.

When we arrived in New York again, night had already fallen.

The vibrant Manhattan attracts every child.

Durant peered greedily through the window at the Empire State Building, Seventh Avenue, and Times Square.

Then we drove all the way to Long Island until we reached a luxury hotel.

Durant then noticed that other team buses had arrived at the same time, and many players had disembarked as well.

Enter the hotel.

It seems that Tangsen booked several floors of the hotel, so each player could have a private room.

Everyone received a training camp schedule.

Durant glanced at the list and, unsurprisingly, found that he needed to walk to the training camp, a kilometer away, before 5 a.m. the next morning.

They didn't say what would happen if I was late, but I guess I'll be eliminated.

Townsend's Five Points Club is naturally very famous.

Durant was warned. Before he came, his coach, teammates, and mother had repeatedly told him to work hard and try to stay.

Therefore, Durant made up his mind that he must get up at four o'clock tomorrow and arrive at the training camp on time.

He also contacted Devindorf and they agreed to remind each other.

After that, it's free time.

The hotel also offers a buffet with various services; feel free to enjoy.

However, after filling his stomach, Durant did not wander around. He went to bed early and was woken up by his alarm clock the next morning. He then immediately walked to the training camp.

The road was packed with players heading to the training camp under the cover of night.

I arrived at the training camp at 4:40, which was not late.

Such an important matter was specifically communicated in advance.

Durant didn't expect that there would still be people late, and quite a few at that.

However, Tang Sen, who arrived promptly at five o'clock, did not say anything, but simply invited everyone to enter the training camp.

Durant watched Tang Sen from afar.

not tall.

But as basketball players, no one dared to underestimate Tang Sen.

Upon entering the training camp, the scouts who had been responsible for screening the players had already left. Grover was also there, leading all the players in warm-ups as planned.

The arena was huge, but there were even more players, making it noisy and chaotic.

Tang Sen stood on the sidelines watching silently.

After tallying the numbers, Tedsky walked over and said, "Don, a total of 22 people are late."

Tang Sen neither confirmed nor denied it.

It is said that the scouting began the moment these players stepped off the plane.

However, in reality, whether one is self-disciplined enough is only one aspect of the assessment.

It has an impact, but its weight is not that significant for now.

People change. Not being self-disciplined now doesn't mean you won't be self-disciplined in the future.

What Tang Sen cares about most now is his physical talent.

Tang Sen needs to figure out the talent level of these 217 players as much as possible within seven days.

Then find the player you want.

Speed, coordination...

Tang Sen used various methods to test each player's condition.

Training will also be arranged, and a sufficiently nutritious diet will be provided to observe the rate at which they gain muscle and the training effect over a one-week period.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.

All the players' daily task is to train and then undergo various tests.

The tests are incredibly complicated, ranging from simple body measurements to various specialized tests.

Durant completed each test diligently and seriously, but he did not know the specific test results.

The training camp will conclude once the last day of training ends.

Durant, holding his plane ticket, returned to the Wilson River Estuary, completely bewildered.

No one stayed behind, and no one knew what the outcome would be.

Even after all the players left, the training camp work did not stop.

The trainer, a seasoned scout, begins scoring all the test results.

Sixteen people were selected from 217 applicants.

Four of them can play small forward and are over 2 meters tall, while the remaining 12 are all 1.98 meters tall.

"Tang, I think this Sean Foster is pretty good. He has a great wingspan, excellent coordination and balance. He's a bit thin, but he can still train."

The group gathered together to discuss, and Tedsky picked out a photograph.

Grover also picked a photo.

Clarence Weems.

Both are 1.98 meters tall, born in 1986, and only 19 years old a month apart.

With an excellent arm span, large hands, broad shoulders, good head-to-body ratio, almost no neck, and amazing athletic ability.

During his high school years, he was an expert in both high jump and long jump.

She jumped over 2.08 meters and reached 6.71 meters in the long jump.

Their athletic ability is evident.

Several experienced scouts also have their own favorite players.

For example, Luke Richard Mbah a Moute, an international player from Cameroon, is now studying in the United States.

He was also born in 86 and has a similar build to Tracy McGrady.

After a heated discussion, everyone finally looked at Tang Sen.

Tang Sen stood with his arms crossed, lost in thought and silent.

Tang Sen remembered all 16 players selected.

They were already geniuses who stood out from tens of thousands of applications, and then the best of the best were selected.

They all have good physical talents, and may even excel in one particular area.

However, none of them met Tang Sen's perfect standard; there were always some shortcomings.

That kid who was quite talented before, named Durant, after the actual tests, Tang Sen also felt that he lacked some strength and explosiveness.

His frame appears small, and his hands are also relatively small compared to his height.

In short, none of them are perfect.
