Chapter 16 March Special Training
"What? Impossible!" Jack's old face suddenly pulled down: "You are oppressing, you are exploiting! My summer vacation schedule is already full, and I don't have time to train such a brat ! What do you think I am? Cheap hired labor?"

When Tang Wenlong saw Jack again, he was still in a neat black suit, but it was a bit cleaner than when he saw him before.Of course, Tang Wenlong always smiled when he saw everyone, and this time when he got together with Jack, he showed a smile as bright as the sun.

But Jack didn't want to see this smiling face anymore. He held his head and showed a painful expression.Joe Thomas scolded with a smile: "Hey, forget it, buddy! I know you must not think so in your heart, don't you need the salary increase that Alina has already agreed? How much salary you can get depends on your ability Yes! Believe me, Tang He is definitely an unworldly genius, you won't suffer!"

"I hope so," Jack said gloomily.

"Good news always comes one after the other!" While the three were chatting, the orange man coach Jim pushed open the door of the cafe and walked in with a happy face, in stark contrast to Jack.

"Oh man, don't tell me you won the lottery, I'll keep pulling out my pistol!" said Jack, whistling.

Compared to Jack's cynicism, Joe Thomas and Tang Wenlong sat upright, staring at Coach Jim intently.Tang Wenlong stood up with some restraint: "Coach Jim, it's nice to see you!"

"Sit down, little guy, be casual." Coach Jim patted Tang Wenlong on the shoulder, and then said with a smile: "I think our lineup can be strengthened!"

Then he paused and continued: "We got Wesley Johnson, a super small forward from Iowa State University!"

However, the three people sitting obviously had never heard of this name before, showing blank and incomprehensible expressions.

"God, you guys are actually trainers? Knicks' super scouts?" Coach Jim held his head and said in pain: "You haven't even heard of Wesley Johnson? This year's upcoming The student who entered the junior year was once selected to the rookie lineup of the 12 major leagues. When he was a freshman, he averaged 12.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. Don’t you know that he is known as the enhanced version of Shaw En-Marion?"

Tang Wenlong was ashamed. He had never heard of such a player. In fact, his understanding of American basketball was that of the familiar NBA superstars, such as Jordan, Iverson, and Kobe Bryant. High profile players.If he hadn't had a classmate in high school who was also nicknamed Marion, I'm afraid he would never have even heard the name of such a "hacker".

Jack thought a lot, and he said vigilantly, "Why did you tell me this news?"

"Hey," Coach Jim smirked twice, then rubbed his hands and said, "Jack, you know. There aren't many talented players in Syracuse University anymore. The school team won't have any results next year, right?"

"Don't even think about it!" Jack jumped up anxiously: "I have sacrificed a lot to train Tang alone!"

"Don't, if you wear one, it's a belt, and if you wear two, it's also a belt." Seeing that Jack was about to refuse, Coach Jim made a smiley face and stuck it on, as if he was sticking to him.

"No, no, no, absolutely no. I am a person with principles and a bottom line"

But in the end, Jack still couldn't get over Coach Jim's entanglement, so he nodded reluctantly.

Tang Wenlong was stunned. He didn't expect such a seemingly powerful head coach, who was famous in front of others, to beg a trainer for the future of a team.He felt a deep admiration for Coach Jim. No matter how much Coach Jim expressed his disdain for him before, at least he is a person who really loves basketball, a master who really regards basketball as his dream. coach.

Tang Wenlong lived in Syracuse like this, and Joe Thomas rented a small house of [-] square meters for him. According to his words, he would make do with it and live in a "rat's den" until he went to school in the future. , he will be able to live in the excellent dormitory provided by Syracuse University, and the conditions are several times better than here.

The only advantage of this rental room is that it is very close to Syracuse University. It only takes less than 5 minutes to walk there, which greatly saves Tang Wenlong's trouble.

In mid-May, Tang Wenlong officially started special training under Jack and head coach Jim!
Coach Jim: "My special training is mainly divided into three parts."

"The first stage is a [-]-day basic technical training. It has always been my goal to start from the basics. To become a qualified basketball player, one must master strong basic skills. The superstars in NBA history, except for some special ones such as A rebounding genius like Rodman has solid basic skills. Physical talent determines a player’s upper limit, and basic basketball skills determine whether a player can develop his physical potential.”

Three months later
On the outdoor playground of Syracuse University, Jack called urgently.

"Faster, faster, faster! OK, very good!" Black Jack held up the stopwatch in his hand, "11 seconds 04, Don, your condition is getting better and better, and this speed is also faster than before !"

Next to Jack was a tall and slender black boy. After hearing the data, he gave a cheer, clapped his hands, and gave Tang Wenlong a thumbs up: "Oh my god, Tang, your progress is really fast. Amazing. I think your speed has reached the threshold of the NBA's top point guard!"

"Haha, it's okay!" Tang Wenlong walked over with a smile, sweat all over his body.His skin is much darker than before, and his body is also much stronger. The muscles on those two arms are clearly defined, and others can tell that they contain huge energy just by looking at them.

Tang Wenlong's English level has improved by leaps and bounds. He can already communicate coherently with Jack and Wesley Johnson. Of course, it is also because he is used to the pronunciation of the two. If he meets strangers when he goes out, Tang Wenlong still has a little bit of communication skills. Difficulties.

"Tang, tomorrow is the entrance ceremony, after which you will start the study of culture classes." Jack said.

"Well, yes."

"So, this summer's special training is over. You and Wesley have made great progress. After that, it should be time to return to the Orange team to participate in the league!" Jack said calmly.Logically speaking, he should be liberated, but he didn't feel a little bit of relief, and he didn't feel joy in his heart, and he felt a little inexplicable feeling.

That's right, from becoming a trainer to now, he has never seen such a progressing student. The growing strength gave him the pleasure of constantly tapping his potential. He was deeply reluctant, and even looked forward to continuing to train Tang Wenlong next time.

Tang Wenlong and Wesley Johnson looked at each other, but neither of them could speak.

The three of them walked to the basketball hall together, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

Then Jack was old and mature, and he broke the atmosphere with a smile: "Okay, I am still a trainer at Syracuse University, and you will have many opportunities to cooperate with me in the future! Of course, I think you must first compete well, Play a good result, so that I can prove my professional level."

"Don't worry, coach!" Wesley Johnson said: "Don and I will definitely surprise the other teams in the Big East League!"

Tang Wenlong shook his head. He wanted to say that he would shock the entire NCAA league, but he opened his mouth, but he didn't say it in the end. He was still used to such a low-key look.

"Okay, let's have a big meal tonight, let's celebrate this long March special training!" Black Jack stretched out his hand and hooked their necks, laughing.

"It's great!" Wesley Johnson yelled excitedly, and ran to the front of the two excitedly, then twisted his arms, calves, and waist, and danced an inexplicable dance. Like a sheep epileptic, he stared at Tang Wenlong beside him dumbfounded.
