Four to ten, David except for a middle distance, there was no score in the back, with a gap of six points, lost to Tang Qian.

After David, Noah, and Ben left, Phil. Hubbard looked at Tang Qian and clapped his hands and said, "Yes, hot, you performed very well, it seems that Li's recommendation is pertinent." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Hubbard, and are there any tryouts ahead?" Tang Qian said proudly.

"Oh, there's also a tryout, which is to take you to meet your teammates and have a good chat with those guys." Phil. Hubbard said with a smile.

"Huh? What does this mean? Tang Qian reacted and looked at the man in front of him.

"Oh, yes, yes, hot, welcome to the Los Angeles Defenders." Phil. Hubbard smiled.

After a full day of rest, Tang Qian began to sign a contract with the Los Angeles Defenders, and the contract specifications of the NBDL are different from the NBA that everyone knows. Tang Qian glanced at it slightly and got a rough idea. The NBDL contract level is divided into three tiers, namely $25,000 a season in Tier A, $19,000 a season in Tier B, and $13,000 a season in Tier C, while the Los Angeles Defenders offered themselves a Season Contract in Tier C, which is $13,000 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's it going, hot? Do you have any objections to the contract? "Phil. Hubbard stood with several uniformed groups and looked at Tang Qiandao across the negotiation table.

"No, there isn't." Tang Qian shook his head and said.

As a pure newcomer, it was not surprising that Tang Qian got such a contract at such a price, so he had nothing to object. However, when signing the contract, Tang Qian still found 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 the NBDL is only a secondary league, but the intensity of the competition in it is far more than that of China. For a young person who has not yet been completely stereotyped, it is the best stage for "leveling".

"Okay, hot, congratulations on joining the defenders, I hope you do 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 NBDL opener was on November 22, and the NBA league was delayed due to the "shutdown" this season, but for the NBDL league, there was no impact in the slightest.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

There is still a period of time before the start of the NBDL league, and Tang Qian did not waste this time, he not only asked Li Qiuping to "borrow money" to hire a local professional trainer in the United States, but also the team's gym and strength room are also places he frequents. It wasn't until one day in early November that some "hiccupes" began to appear on the "boring" days.

"Tom, what are we practicing today? At the end of last week's training, I feel like my physical performance has improved a little bit again. Tang Qian asked a brown-haired man beside him while moving his body, this brown-haired man Tom was a professional basketball trainer hired by Tang Qian in the offseason.

After this period of scientific training, Tang Qian's "different space" saw that he had successfully increased the sprint speed of eight crystal bricks, reaching the peak of nine, and Tang Qian tested it afterwards, and the speed of 100 yards really entered the 10.9 second mark. Don't look at it as just 0.1 seconds, but in fact, it is a huge mountain that countless people are difficult to climb in their lifetime, and the basketball court is only so big, 0.1 seconds faster, which is enough to do many things that could not be done originally.

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

"Oh hot, you're simply one of the scariest guys I've ever seen! With such an intensive training intensity, won't your body get tired? After listening to Tang Qian's words, Tom said exaggeratedly.

"No, no, Tom, the NBDL league is about to start, and I have to work hard and work hard before that." Don latent mechanically pulled the ligament tract.

"Okay, hot, since you're so eager to train, then I'll make a training plan carefully, who told you to pay to hire me?" Tom replied.

"Haha, Tom, listen to you, didn't you make a training plan for me before?" Tang Qian rarely took the initiative to open his mouth and laughed.

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

"The best? Haha, Tom, don't you say that, aren't you afraid that God will be angry? ”

Hearing Tang Qian's words, Tom shrunk his neck slightly, and then returned to normal in a second: "Hot, God is very busy, how can I have time to take care of my affairs?" Besides, my Tom is a devout Christian, and God will forgive all believers who are devout to him. ”

As he spoke, Tom pulled out a small cross, kissed it before putting it back.

Seeing Tom's "thief-minded" look, Tang Qian shook his head and smiled, then moved around, and said, "Tom, seriously, what is the training plan for the next stage?" ”

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 very important for any 'rookie' who has just stepped into the professional game." Of course, it will still take a lot of time to correct your shooting hand, and the consistency of your shooting throughout the movement will need to be improved. ”

"Well, you're right, Tom, let's get started." Tang Qian also faded his smile and said.

That night, after Tom left, Tang Qian began to practice shooting by himself as usual, and after a period of training, he found a problem. That is, the higher the level of the game you enter, the faster you will improve the crystal tiles. He had spotted a hint when he played the U17 World Youth Championship before, and now after stepping into the NBDL league, this speculation has been verified again.

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

Li Qiuping and Phil. Hubbard said hello and let Tang Qian usually live in this Toyota Sports Center, which was done to save money and to give Tang Qian more time to practice. Of course, as a pay, Tang Qian needs to work part-time as a cleaner at the Toyota Sports Center, and he is responsible for the sanitation work here every day.

The NBDL kick-off camp started 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 Los Angeles Kings of the NHL. Therefore, Tang Qian does not need to clean up much, 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 his mid-range shooting at a glance, a skill that is quite important in modern basketball, especially in the new century. As an interior player, he can have a beautiful mid-range shot, which will undoubtedly add a lot of points to this player. Because after the inside line stands up for a high block, if there is no ability to shoot, then the opponent will easily crack the block, just let go of the inside line and go straight to the person who controls the ball. But if this interior line who stands up has a shot, the opponent's defense is prone to a dilemma, and he can't concentrate on encircling the ball handler.

"Ninety-seven."

Brush~

"Ninety-eight."

Brush~

"Ninety-nine."

Brush~

Just as Tang Qian was about to throw the hundredth ball tonight, the door of the side hall, which had been closed, 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 looked, dumbfounded!!

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

K…… KobeBryant？？？

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

"H, hi, Mr. Black Mamba, why are you here?" Tang Qian couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"I was just visiting an old friend here, and I was leaving when I heard the sound of a basketball hitting the ground, you know." Kobe Bryant shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've never had any resistance to this voice. ”

"I'll have some fun too, how about it?" Bryant said suddenly.

"Huh?" Tang Qian was stunned and didn't react for a while.

"If you don't speak, I'll take you by default." Bryant took off his coat, revealing a swarthy muscle.

Brush brush ~

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

"Looks like I had a good hand today." After Kobe finished speaking, he passed the basketball in his hand to Tang Qian and said: "Boy, I see that you are boring to practice alone, why don't we have a bullfight?" ”

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

Looking at Tang Qian's expression, Kobe Bryant smiled a little and said, "What? Are you kid only talking? ”

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

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

Tang Qian found that the man in front of him, as soon as he stood on the court, his whole temperament immediately changed.

Suddenly, he remembered the "Zen Master" Phil. A famous quote from Jackson:

Kobe Bryant is different from Michael, and Kobe's competitive desire ends on the basketball court.

That is to say, when this man steps on the basketball court, his competitiveness, his temperament, and his aura will undergo a comprehensive change.

Syllable.

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

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

Brush~

Kobe Bryant is a three-pointer, orange basketball, accurate into the net, and the friction sound caused by high-speed rotation is extremely pleasant.

In the bullring, a three-point shot counts as two points, so as soon as Kobe Bryant came up, he gave Tang Qian a slap in the face.

And in the next game, there was no suspense, ten to zero, Kobe Bryant continued to attack successfully, and he didn't even touch the ball to Tang Qian.

"Hey, boy, is that all you have?" Kobe Bryant looked at Tang Qian and threw a "mockery".

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

Don't think about anything else, it's true that he's your idol, but the more that's the case, the more you have to show your strength in front of him!

Because only in this way can you truly respect him!

"I'll attack first." Tang Qian stood outside the three-point line and said unceremoniously.

In the face of Kobe, he chose to attack first, which is not a loss of face at all, because the strength level of the two is too far apart, if he does not choose to attack first, he is afraid that he will end the bullfight in the way of "swallowing zero eggs".

"Ok, I hope you don't let me down." Bryant said lightly.

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

Tang Qian attacked, and the famous Kobe Bryant, he didn't dare to play "flowers" at all, in order to be safe, he could only choose the most "center" way to attack the opponent.

Back hit hard push.

It's really worthy of Kobe, in the face of his own strong back hit, he can actually keep his lines unrelenting, this strength is really amazing.

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

That's a lot of strength!

Is this strength really something that the yellow race can have?

Fortunately, this kid doesn't have any power skills, otherwise, whether he can bear it or not is really a problem!

It's not a way to go back like this! Even if you run out of offensive time, you won't be able to touch the three-second zone! I can only try to turn around!

As soon as Tang sneaked around, just when he wanted to use it 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 right, but it's a pity that the technical moves are too blunt." ”
