"What? No way! Jack's old face suddenly pulled down: "You are oppression, you are exploitation!" My summer schedule is already full, and I don't have time to train such a milky and dry kid! What are you when I am? Cheap hired labor? ”

When Tang Wenlong saw Jack again, he was still in a neat black suit, but it was a little cleaner than when he saw him before. Of course, Tang Wenlong looked like he was smiling when he saw everyone, and this time he and Jack gathered with a sunny smile.

Jack didn't want to see this smiling face anymore, he hugged his head and showed a pained expression. Joe Thomas laughed and scolded, "Hey, forget it, man! I know I don't think so, don't you need the raise that Alina has already promised? How much you can get paid depends on your ability! Believe me, Tang is definitely an immortal genius, you won't suffer! ”

"I hope so." Jack said depressedly.

"Good news comes one after another!" While the three of them were chatting, Orange Man coach Jim pushed open the door of the café and walked in, his face full of spring breeze, in stark contrast to Jack.

"Even, man, don't tell me you won the lottery, I'll still pull out my pistol!" Jack whistled and said.

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

"Sit down, little one, feel free." 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've got super small forward Wesley Johnson from Iowa State University!" ”

However, the three people sitting in the seat had obviously not heard the name, and showed blank and unincomprehensible expressions.

"Even God, you can be trainers? A super scout for the Knicks? Coach Jim held his head and said in pain, "You haven't even heard of Wesley Johnson?" The junior who was selected to the rookie rookie team in the Big 12 leagues and averaged 12.3 points and 7.9 rebounds per game in his freshman year, didn't you know that he was known as the enhanced version of his shooting and skills, Sean Marion? ”

Tang Wenlong was ashamed, he had indeed never heard of such a player, in fact, his knowledge of American basketball is that of those well-known NBA superstars, such as Jordan, Iverson, Kobe Bryant, these players have a very high profile in China. If it weren't for the fact that one of his former high school classmates was also nicknamed Marion, I'm afraid he wouldn't 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 chuckled twice, then rubbed his hands together and said, "Jack, you know. There aren't many talented players left at Syracuse University, so you can't watch a school team with such a glorious history come out next year, right? ”

"Don't even think about it!" Jack jumped up anxiously: "I have already sacrificed a lot to train Don alone!" "Don't, you bring one with you, you bring two with you" Seeing that Jack was about to refuse, Coach Jim put on a smiling face and pasted it, looking like he was clinging to him. No, no, no, resolutely. I'm a principled person with a bottom line."

In the end, however, Jack couldn't resist Coach Jim's pestering and nodded reluctantly.

Tang Wenlong was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that such a seemingly strong and beautiful head coach would beg a trainer like this for the future of a team. He had a deep admiration for Coach Jim, no matter how much Coach Jim had expressed his disdain for him before, but at least he was a man who truly loved basketball, a head coach who truly made basketball his dream.

Tang Wenlong lived in Syracuse in this way, Joe Thomas rented a small house of 80 square meters for him, according to his words, first make do with living in the "rat's nest", and when he went to school in the future, he would have the excellent dormitory provided by Syracuse University to live in, and the conditions were several times better than here.

The only advantage of this rental house is that it is very close to Syracuse University, and it only takes less than five minutes to walk, 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 training is divided into three main parts. ”

"The first stage is a 40-day basic technical training, and it has always been my aim to start from the basics. To become a qualified basketball player, you must master strong basic skills. The superstars in NBA history, except for some special rebounding wizards like Rodman, are extremely solid in their fundamentals. Physical talent determines a player's ceiling, and basketball fundamentals determine whether a player can develop his or her potential."

Three months later

On the outdoor playground of Syracuse University, Jack's hurried call was heard. "Faster, faster, faster! OK, very good! Blackjack held up the stopwatch in his hand, "11.04 seconds, Don, you're getting better and better, and it's faster than before!" “

Next to Jack was a tall and slender black young man, after he heard the data, he screamed with joy, then applauded, and gave Tang Wenlong a thumbs up: "Oh my God, Don, your progress is really amazing." I see your speed has touched the threshold of the NBA's top point guards! "Haha, it's okay!" Tang Wenlong walked over with a smile, covered in sweat. His skin was much darker than before, and his body was much stronger, and the muscles on those two arms were clearly outlined, and others knew that there was a huge amount of energy contained in them just by looking at them.

Tang Wenlong's English level has improved by leaps and bounds, he can already communicate with Jack and Wesley Johnson coherently, of course, it is also because he is used to listening to the pronunciation of the two, if he goes out and meets strangers, Tang Wenlong still has a little difficulty in communication. "Tang, tomorrow is the entrance ceremony, and then you will start studying cultural classes." Jack said. "Yes, yes."

"So, this summer's special training is over, you and Wesley have made great progress, and then it's time to return to the Oranges to play in the league!" Jack said calmly. Logically speaking, he should be liberated, but he didn't feel a sense of relief, and he didn't have joy in his heart, and he had a trace of indescribable feeling.

Yes, since he became a trainer, he has never seen such a progressive student, and the strength that has increased upwards has given him a sense of pleasure to continue to tap his potential, and his heart is full of deep reluctance, and he is even looking forward to continuing the special training of Tang Wenlong next time.

Tang Wenlong and Wesley Johnson glanced at each other, and neither of them could hold back their words.

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

Then it was Jack who was old and fine, and he broke the atmosphere with a smile: "Okay, I'm still a trainer at Syracuse University, and you will have more opportunities to cooperate with me in the future!" Of course, I think you have to play well first and play well so that you can prove my professionalism. ”

"Don't worry, Coach!" Wesley Johnson opened his mouth and said, "Don and I are going to absolutely surprise the rest of the Great East Conference!" ”

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

"Alright, let's go have a big dinner tonight and celebrate this long March special training!" Black Jack reached out and hooked the necks of the two of them and laughed.

"Great!" Wesley Johnson screamed excitedly, ran in front of the two excitedly, and then twisted his arms, calves, and waists, and actually danced an inexplicable dance, looking like he had sheep epilepsy, which made Tang Wenlong on the side dumbfounded.
