Chapter 20 "Encounter" with the Black Mamba
Four to ten, David lost to Tang Qian with a gap of six points, except for the middle distance.

After David, Noah, and Ben left, Phil Hubbard looked at Tang Qian and clapped his hands: "That's right, hot, you've done a great job. It seems that Li's recommendation is pertinent."

"Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Hubbard, is there any trial training in the future?" Tang Qian said without complacency.

"Oh, there is another trial training, which is to take you to meet your teammates and have a good chat with those boys." Phil Hubbard said with a smile.

"Huh? What does this sentence mean?" Tang Qian reacted, looking at the man in front of him.

"Oh, that's right, hot, you are welcome to join the Los Angeles Defenders." Phil Hubbard said with a smile.

After resting for a whole day, Tang Qian began to sign a contract with the Los Angeles Defenders. The contract specification of NBDL is different from the NBA that everyone knows.After Tang Qian glanced slightly, he got a general idea. NBDL's contract levels are divided into three tiers, namely A-tier $2.5 a season, B-tier $1.9 a season, and C-tier $1.3 a season. A C-level season contract, which is 1.3 US dollars a season.

There is not much money, but it is finally Tang Qian's "first pot of gold", and it is still "US dollars".

"How is it, hot? Do you have any objections to the contract?" Phil Hubbard stood with several uniform teams, looking at Tang Qian who was across the negotiating table.

"No, no." Tang Qian shook his head and said.

As a pure rookie, it was expected for Tang Qian to get such a pricey contract, so he had nothing to object to.However, when signing the contract, Tang Qian still discovered a small detail, that is, this contract was not signed with the Los Angeles Defenders, but with the entire NBDL league.

After signing his name, Tang Qian finally stepped into the door of professional basketball players with one foot. Although NBDL is only a secondary league, the intensity of the competition in it far exceeds that in China.For a young man who has not yet fully formed, it is the best "leveling" stage.

"Okay, hot, congratulations on joining the Defenders. I hope you will perform well in the 2011-2012 season." Phil Hubbard and the uniform team checked the contract and smiled kindly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hubbard, I will." Tang Qian also nodded.

The opening game of the NBDL is on November 11. This season, the NBA league has been delayed due to the impact of the "shutdown", but for the NBDL league, it has not had the slightest impact.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

There is still some time before the start of the NBDL league. Tang Qian did not waste this time. He not only "borrowed money" from Li Qiuping to hire a local professional trainer in the United States, but also the team's gym and weight room. Frequented place.It was not until one day in early November that some "episodes" began to appear in the "boring" days.

"Tom, what are we practicing today? After last week's training, I feel that my physical performance has improved a little bit." Tang Qian asked a brown-haired man beside him while moving his body. This brown-haired man Tom , is the professional basketball trainer Tang Qian hired during the offseason.

After this period of scientific training, Tang Qian saw in the "Different Space" that his original sprint speed of eight crystal bricks had successfully increased by one, reaching the peak of nine. Tang Qian tested it afterwards, Sure enough, the 10.9-yard speed has entered the 0.1-second mark.Although it is only 0.1 seconds, it is actually a huge mountain that countless people will find it difficult to climb in their lifetime. The basketball court is only that big, and it is [-] seconds faster, which is enough to do many things that were originally impossible.

There is also the item of bouncing, which has also increased from seven crystal bricks to eight. Tang Qian tried it, and his ultimate bouncing ability was raised by an inch again, reaching a height of 38 inches.Although there is only an increase of 2.54 centimeters, it is still a huge improvement for Tang Qian, especially after he is about to set foot on the professional court, his physical fitness is definitely an aspect that cannot be left behind.

"Oh, hot, you are simply one of the scariest guys I have ever seen! With such an intensive training intensity, won't your body be exhausted?" Tom said exaggeratedly after listening to Tang Qian's words.

"No, no, no, Tom, the NBDL league is about to start. Before that, I must work hard to strengthen and work hard." Tang Qian mechanically pulled the ligament.

"Okay, Tang, since you are so eager to train, then I will seriously formulate a training plan, why did you spend money to hire me?" Tom replied.

"Haha, Tom, listen to what you said, didn't you seriously make a training plan for me before?" Tang Qian rarely took the initiative to tease.

"Oh~ hot! As God testifies, I am a very serious and responsible basketball trainer! And at the price you pay, I am definitely the best!" Tom said with a "serious" face.

"The best? Haha, Tom, don't you fear God's old man's anger when you say that?"

Hearing Tang Qian's words, Tom shrank his neck slightly, and then returned to his normal state for a second: "Hot, God is very busy, how can he have time to meddle in my business? Besides, I, Tom, am a devout Christ." Christians, God will forgive all faithful believers in him."

As Tom talked, he took out a small cross, and after he finished speaking, he kissed it before putting it back.

Seeing Tom's "guilty" look, Tang Qian shook his head and smiled, then moved around and said, "Tom, seriously, what is the next training plan?"

Tom also put away the joke, looked at the information board in his hand, and said: "The tentative next-stage plan is weight gain and strength training, which is the most important thing for any 'rookie' who has just stepped into a professional ball game. It’s very important. Of course, your shooting shape still needs a lot of time to correct, and the stability of shooting during the whole movement also needs to be strengthened.”

"Well, you're right, Tom, let's start then." Tang Qian also faded his smile.

That night, after Tom left, Tang Qian began to practice shooting alone as usual. After a period of training, he discovered a problem.That is, the higher the competition level you enter, the faster you will improve the crystal bricks.When he played in the U17 World Youth Championship before, he found a little sign, and now after stepping into the NBDL league, this guess has been verified again.

In order to improve the various crystal bricks in this "different space", Tang Qian's enthusiasm for training has also increased.

Li Qiuping and Phil Hubbard said hello and asked Tang Qian to live in this Toyota Sports Center. One of the reasons for this was to save money, and the other was to allow Tang Qian to have more time to practice. .Of course, as a reward, Tang Qian needs to work part-time as a cleaner in the Toyota Sports Center, and is responsible for the sanitation here every day.

The opening training camp of NBDL started very late, so basically no other players from the team came to report.During this time, the main building of the Toyota Sports Center has been used by the NHL's Los Angeles Kings.Therefore, there are not many places that Tang Qian needs to clean up. He is only responsible for the basketball part of the gymnasium.

In a small side hall of the Toyota Sports Center, Tang Qian is practicing the mid-range shot. This skill is very important in modern basketball, especially for the new century insiders.As an inside player, he can have a beautiful mid-range shot. For this player, it will undoubtedly add a lot of points.Because after the inside line stands up for a high pick-and-roll, if there is no mid-range shooting ability, then the opponent will easily crack the pick-and-roll, just empty the inside line and go straight to the person who is in possession of the ball.But if the stand-up insider has a good shot, the opponent's defense is prone to a dilemma, unable to concentrate on encircling the ball handler.

"97."

Just as Tang Qian was about to throw his [-]th pitch tonight, the door of the side hall, which had been closed all along, was opened with a "buzz".

"Yo, it's so late, and there are still people practicing? Nice! Nice!"

"Who?"

Tang Qian frowned, stopped continuing to shoot, turned around, and was dumbfounded! ! !

Although he was wearing casual clothes and a casual hat, which was completely different from his usual look, Tang Qian recognized him at a glance.

K...Kobe Bryant? ? ?

"Hi~ Hello, yellow-skinned kid!" Kobe greeted lightly.

"H, hi, Mr. Black Mamba, why did you appear here?" Tang Qian couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

"I was just visiting an old friend here, and when I was leaving, I suddenly heard the sound of a basketball hitting the ground, as you know." Kobe shrugged and said, "I have never been able to resist this sound."

"How about I come to play too?" Kobe said suddenly.

"Ah?" Tang Qian was stunned for a while, but didn't react for a while.

"If you don't speak, I'll take it as your acquiescence." Kobe said as he took off his jacket, revealing his dark muscles.

Brush, brush, brush~
Kobe scored ten goals in a row as soon as he came up, and the ball was hollow and extremely accurate.

"It seems that I feel good today." After Kobe finished speaking, he passed the basketball in his hand to Tang Qian and said, "Boy, it seems that you are boring training alone, how about we have a bullfight?"

"Ah???" Tang Qian just came back to his senses, and was once again shocked by Kobe's proposal.

Looking at Tang Qian's expression, Kobe laughed a little and said, "What? You only talk, kid?"

"No, no, no." Tang Qian shook his head mechanically, and said, "I just think, am I dreaming?"

"Is it a dream? Don't you know after one game?" Kobe stood outside the three-point line and said, "Stop talking nonsense, you attack first!"

Tang Qian found that the whole temperament of the man in front of him changed drastically as soon as he stepped on the court.

Suddenly, he remembered a famous saying of "Zen Master" Phil Jackson:

Unlike Michael, Kobe's desire to win ended on the basketball court.

That is to say, when this man steps onto the basketball court, his competitiveness, his temperament, and his aura will all undergo a comprehensive change. Tang Qian thought it was just a "compliment" before, but now It seems that the evaluation of "Zen Master" is really accurate, almost hitting the nail on the head.

Snapped.

The basketball in Tang Qian's hand was stolen by Kobe.

Kobe got the ball, looked at Tang Qian and said, "Hey, boy, it's not a good habit to be distracted during the game."

brush~
Kobe raised his hand and scored a three-pointer. The orange basketball hit the net with precision, and the friction sound caused by the high-speed rotation was extremely pleasing to the ear.

In the bullring, a three-pointer counts as two points, so as soon as Kobe came up, he gave Tang Qian a blow.

In the next game, there was no suspense, [-] to [-], Kobe succeeded in attacking consecutively, and Tang Qian didn't even touch the ball again.

"Hey, boy, do you have this strength?" Kobe looked at Tang Qian and said with a "taunt".

"No, of course not, Mr. Black Mamba, let's have another round." Tang Qian shook his head and said seriously.

Don't think about other things, he is your idol, but the more he is like this, the more you have to show your strength in front of him!
Because this is the only way to truly respect him!
"I'll attack first." Tang Qian stood beyond the three-point line and said bluntly.

Facing Kobe, he chose to attack first, which is not a shame at all, because the level of strength of the two is really far apart. If he did not choose to attack first, he might end the bullfight by "swallowing zero eggs".

"Okay, I hope you don't let me down." Kobe said easily.

"I will, Mr. Mamba." Tang Qian nodded.

Tang Qian attacked, and he was singled out against the famous Kobe. He didn't dare to play "flowers" at all. In order to be safe, he could only choose the most "center forward" way to attack the opponent.

Push back hard.

As expected of Kobe, in the face of his strong back attack, he can actually keep his head on. This strength is really amazing.

Tang Qian didn't know, just when he was amazed in his heart, Kobe behind him also had the same feeling.

What a lot of strength!
Is this strength really something that people of the yellow race can possess?
Fortunately, this kid doesn't have any strength skills, otherwise, whether he can hold it is really a question!
It's not an option to fight back like this!Even if the attack time is exhausted, I can't touch the three-second zone!Just try to turn around!

Tang Qian moved his body, and when he was about to turn around, the basketball in his hand disappeared.

Stolen?

Just as he was thinking about it, Kobe's voice came over, saying: "Your idea is correct, but it's a pity that the technical movements are too blunt."
