Forward to the basket

"This is the NBA, you have to adapt to everything here, including the way those guys look at you."

Tarkanian, who had received three invitations, could only explain to Chen Feng in this way.

Because the old man knew that the self-esteem of the kid in front of him was as strong as his own, and he could not tolerate others' contempt.

But this is the NBA draft field, only at this time, the players are the most humble existence.

Scouts, general managers, head coaches, and even assistant coaches can tell them what to do.

When these rookies enter the NBA, especially after they become players, they can be uncles most of the time, while scouts and assistant coaches can only be regarded as ordinary roles.

You know, in the NBA, what fans watch is the performance of the players, not the roar of the coach on the sidelines.

It has long been a popular trend in the NBA to fire coaches for players.

After all, the former can bring box office and jersey sales, which are a lot of dollars.

And the coach, no matter how famous the coach is, will definitely not benefit from wrestling with the players.

It's just that before these players become famous, they all need to go through this, whether you are happy or not, this is the case.

Because, you are not a wrist, not a superstar yet.

Just like an old fritter like Tarkanian, when recommending players, he doesn't succeed every time.

Favors become thinner the more you use them, and it's really hard to say what role an old ncaa coach's personal relationship in the nba can play.

It's just that such an encounter was really a bit suffocating for Tarkanian.

But in front of Chen Feng, he could only maintain a calm attitude, at least he couldn't make this wild boy feel rebellious.

Although he has received three invitations to give it a try, it does not mean that Chen Feng has successfully obtained the ticket to enter the NBA.

Especially after the first tryout test.

The opponent's assistant coach took the data, glanced at it briefly, and then said.

"The physical condition is good, but this only means that he has good potential. He has never played college basketball, and he has never participated in official high school games. The most important thing is that his height is not dominant, only his strength is better, and his jumping ability is not bad. Okay, I think the team may need to think about it again."

This kind of evaluation is simple, straightforward, and there is nothing to hide, although the other party said that it needs to be considered.

But the subtext here is basically telling Jerry and Chen Feng that this family is dead.

The same is true for the trial training of the second team. In less than half an hour, everything is over.

The news they got was almost the same, and they all looked like official rhetoric, asking them to go back and wait for the call temporarily.

It was not as straightforward as the first one, but Chen Feng could tell what kind of expression the other party had on his face.

Maybe it was because they still had some relationship with each other, so the other party didn't let the old man Jerry get off the stage, but just whispered a few words beside him, but Chen Feng still heard it.

"Jerry, old man, it's not that I don't help, it's just that this test report is not convincing enough. If he has a year of NCAA experience, or is more than [-] meters tall, I can have a very good one." Good recommendation, but the experience of playing on the street really made me unable to find a selling point."

On the car back to the hotel, Chen Feng didn't say a word, but his fists were clenched all the time, and he didn't look at the bustling city night scene outside.

"Chen, don't be discouraged. You said that you are still young, and there is nothing you can't afford to lose. Besides, there is still a family that hasn't gone to the trial training. God hasn't closed the door to success yet."

Tarkanian was sitting next to Chen Feng, watching this wild boy's expression and movements, he knew he had to say something, otherwise the situation would get worse.

"Jerry, I'm fine, it's just a bad feeling to be rejected by others for half an hour."

Chen Feng made an expression to Tarkanian that he had already seen these things aside, yes, it was really uncomfortable to be denied.

However, it seems that it is not his character to retreat after such a setback. Hammond once said that Chen Feng is like a stone in a torrent.

He will stand firm against your pressure and never go with the flow.

Others' doubts are unavoidable. If you want to fight back, then find a way to make them shut up!

The trial training of the third company was arranged on the second day, and it was also the one with the highest level of treatment.

When Tarkanian first approached him, he had already confirmed that the opponent's head coach and general manager would come to watch Chen Feng's test.

If this doesn't work, then it can only be said that Chen Feng must go back to the training camp to fight for that single-plank bridge with those fringe kids.

Success or failure, only God knows.

However, when the opponent put on such a ostentation, he always paid attention to Tarkanian. After all, the head coach had worked with the old man in the NBA for a while.

Moreover, this is also a pre-season training camp for the opponent. Many active players of the team are on the sidelines. Although it is a holiday, for some people, they must constantly improve themselves.

For the head coach of this team, Tarkanian can be regarded as a guide and an old friend.

"Hey, Jerry, you're still in good spirits. Last time you were in Boston, I didn't have a chance to meet you. This time we're going to have a good glass of whiskey in New York."

Chen Feng looked at the chubby middle-aged man on the other side, and hugged Tarkanian with a smile on his face. His tone was more like treating an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Doug, you've also started to gain weight. I need to hug you with a stomach."

Tarkanian had been in a cloudy mood for several days in a row. When he saw the other party, it finally turned from cloudy to sunny, at least for now.

"Danny, I didn't expect you to come here too. It seems that my face is worth a little money."

Next to the slightly chubby guy stood another middle-aged man with sharp eyes, and the relationship between him and Tarkanian, although not as close, seemed to be OK.

"Jerry, I turned down two little guys from trial training because of you. I hope the big guy you brought today won't let us down."

Although the relationship is very close, but that guy named Danny, besides hugging Jerry, has been looking at Chen Feng.

"I don't seem to have ever said anything big. As for whether I can meet your requirements, I have to test it before I can be convincing. After all, you are the masters here, and I am just a salesman."

No matter how familiar the relationship is, some things need to be shown to others. Tarkanian only hopes that his old relationship can make them ignore certain things, such as those past resumes.

For an hour, Chen Feng tried his best in this one-hour comprehensive test.

Every sprint, every test, he went all out, and the data obtained were even better than those that Ryan gave him.

Panting heavily, standing on the edge of the basketball court, Chen Feng, who had just completed a set of back and forth runs, stared intently at the two guys who could decide his own destiny.

"Well done, if I were them, I should be clear that I can't miss a guy like you, but I really can't see that when you are dealing with my tests, you still have the strength to do better? So my The training plan is still too conservative."

Ryan, who accompanied Tarkanian and Chen Feng this time, could only use this method to distract the big man in order to relax him.

"I don't want Jerry to waste his time. I tried my best this time. It can be said that I performed super-level. If it doesn't work, I think the old man will be very disappointed. I don't want to see a person who is 80 or [-] years old. **Heart."

Chen Feng was telling the truth, he didn't know what the result was waiting for him, but if he couldn't do his best, he might regret it, especially if he let a person in his 80s and [-]s run around for him like this.

But sometimes, whatever you are afraid of, you will come here.

"Jerry, I have to say that you have a good eye for discovering players. This kid's physical fitness is absolutely top-notch. He fully meets professional standards."

The chubby guy named Doug, after looking at the data, told Tarkanian.

But before Tarkanian could speak, the man named Danny spoke first.

"But... I think it's better for him to stay in the college league for a year, Jerry... Listen to me, being talented doesn't mean he can adapt to the NBA. Those hundreds of players outside are all talented. But how many of them can enter the NBA? How many can adapt after entering? You know this much better than me.”

Tarkanian tried to say something, but the Danny stopped the old man anyway.

"Jerry, it only takes one year for him to play in Las Vegas. The team needs to choose players in writing. After all, not everyone can come to the training ground to see him show his talent. Since you believe he can play, let him wait another year, a year is not long, if he plays well in the ncaa, I don't think the door of the nba will be closed to him. I am the team's General manager, Doug is the head coach, but every time we sign a player, we need to be convincing enough, even if we are old friends."

Such a series of rhetoric made Tarkanian wave his hand helplessly. He knew that if it wasn't for the relationship between them, maybe the other party would just let them wait for news like the previous two teams did.

His old friend was like this, Tarkanian felt for the first time that those damn resumes and data had blinded the eyes of too many people, making them ignore many things.

"Old man, he is a good seed, but now he may not be able to carry a lot of things. Or, now he is not the kind of person we want, at least I think so, he is too tender, maybe a little After [-] years, he will get better, and I will arrange such trial training at that time, as long as you bring him here, I will give him such a chance."

"But not now, the team needs results, he doesn't have any professional experience, Jerry, I can only say that this time you are taking a risk, and it's a little too impulsive, or listen to my advice, let him play in the ncaa for a year, I'm sure you'll train him to be the best big man in college."

The guy named Danny didn't deliberately lower his voice when he said these words, so he believed that not only Tarkanian could understand it, but some people should also be able to understand it.

This is not contempt, it's just that the blank resume is a little less convincing, even if you have talent.

If you have no experience, it means that you don't have the capital to participate in this competition. Even if the data is just a pile of waste paper, it is so annoying.

"Bang!", a muffled sound burst out beside him, causing the three people here to turn their heads away at the same time.

"Old man, there is no need to be humble for me and them, who are you? You are Jerry Tarkanian! Damn, no one is more arrogant than you in ncaa, have you forgotten how to sue ncaa in the first place? From the alliance? Where did that temper go? For me, showing such weakness with them, is that still the tiger shark that can bite all opponents?"

The muffled sound came from the basketball in Chen Feng's hands. He grabbed the basketball with two powerful hands and squeezed it hard, as if the basketball would explode in a second.

Chen Feng, who hadn't said a word during the whole test, burst out like a machine gun.

Yes, it exploded, the stuffy feeling that had been haunting me since returning to New York for training camp reached a breaking point at this moment.

You can despise me, but don't despise that respectable old man because of me.

Chen Feng was not a good man, he didn't want to say anything, he was afraid of causing trouble for Tarkanian, but when he heard the other party's tone of doubt, he couldn't hold back at all this time.

"I can have any interaction with your team, but don't doubt Jerry's vision. If you think I can't do it, then let the best big man in your team come out and fight with me!"

"If I lose, I will walk back to Times Square naked now to prove that your vision is correct, otherwise, swallow the bullshit you just said!"

After saying this, Chen Feng not only glanced at the two guys on the sidelines with that beast-like gaze, but also looked at the players on the field who were still doing various activities.

Many of them are active NBA players, and he said this to everyone present.

Now that you have nothing to fear, how about playing big and smashing things?Yes, Master is here to mess things up today!

Brooklyn, grandpa has smashed it, now it's you guys' turn!

Hearing such a declaration of war, even Danny, who had always been calm and expressionless, became a little angry.

"Big man, do you really think you can win? I don't think you know the difference between professional and amateur."

This sentence is a bit ironic, but more people still think that Chen Feng is just losing his mind and going crazy.

"Pick your best player, or I'm afraid you'll regret it, one-on-one, five balls, according to the rules of the street, unless you admit that you're actually a bitch, don't dare to take this bet."

Since there was no way out, Chen Feng didn't intend to save face for the other party. As for how Tarkanian would deal with him, it was no longer within his consideration.

"Okay, boy, I think the headline in the New York newspaper tomorrow will be the news about you running naked."

Rao is a very calm person, facing such a provocation, he would also get a little angry.

Danny rushed to a big man on the court and shouted, "Al, you are welcome to practice with this kid, you are welcome!"

Chen Feng glanced at Tarkanian and said in a low voice, "I will use the facts to silence those guys!"

Everyone saw Chen Feng's arrogance, but forgot an old saying.

Never mess with a raging beast, or you will pay dearly.

Especially when the opponent shows his claws...

(It’s still the third watch today, but I’ve actually worked really hard... Do you think it’s true? Well, I know you’ll definitely say no, I’ll endure it...)
