Chapter 137 Reggie Jackson (1/5)
Tang Tian has watched "The Godfather", but he did not expect that he would get a new nickname here.
But this nickname is pretty good.
He was the godfather of basketball in his previous life, and now he also has the nickname of "godfather" as a player, which is really fate.
Moreover, the godfather's words are even higher than the professor, which is an absolutely awesome nickname.
They played several games one after another, and Smith and Tang Tian’s cooperation gradually improved, almost all of them defeated their opponents 5-0.
When we arrived at the back, all the people on the sidelines were recording videos with their mobile phones. This night was the night when the "Godfather" became famous at the New York Street Stadium.
The next day, the video of "Godfather" on Ins became popular half of the sky, which even exceeded the hobbies of basketball fans.
Those passers-by also praised the 70-year-old man, what an inspirational game.
Carl has been filming since the beginning of the game, and the editing effect afterwards was the best. The number of likes he posted in the video exceeded 5 million, which is already a huge hit.
There are hundreds of thousands of comments below.
"As long as you have a basketball dream in your heart, what is age? It's not too late to start basketball at any time!"
"As long as you have a basketball dream in your heart, what is your height? Isaiah Thomas, who is 1.75 meters tall, was selected by the Kings at the 60th pick!"
"This is why basketball is what makes us love. It will bring us a lot of miracles and touches!"
"I have a doubt. The videos posted by Carl are all related to Tang Tian. Why did he post someone else this time?"
"Yes, and I heard that the old man is also called Tang, which is really a coincidence."
"You...are this not worth playing? Such a basketball is even more touching!"
"The one in front is, although I also like Tang Tian very much, I prefer the 'Godfather'!"
...
Tang Tian couldn't help laughing when he saw these comments.
But it is true that the 18 or 19-year-old boy and the 70-year-old man are a bit different. With first-class makeup artists and lighting effects, it is indeed difficult to connect the two.
In the following period, Tang Tian and Smith, the uncle and nephew, appeared at the New York Street Stadium from time to time. One passed the ball and the other three-pointer, and the two almost dominated the entire New York Street Stadium.
Buffalo, copter, tank, Ankle.Breaker and other New York players all lost.
The reputation of the "Godfather" quickly became popular across the United States during this shutdown. Fans had no balls to watch and all ran to the New York Street Stadium to chase the Godfather.
Wherever the "Godfather" appears, there are crowds of people on the scene. Some people take a plane for a few hours to watch the 70-year-old man performing in the street court. Many fans even talk about the "Godfather" on Twitter that they can play in the NBA!
As time goes by mid-September, Tang Tian has completed almost the same muscle growth. His current physical condition is the best after traveling through time.
But at this moment, another person's topic on Twitter continued to rise, and the Thunder's No. 24 rookie Reggie Jackson was selected this year.
"They said that a 70-year-old man can play in the NBA? God! Do you really understand the NBA?" Jackson seemed a little angry on Twitter.
Jackson's fame is smaller than Irving, Walker and others, but it is definitely not low. His NCAA school Boston College is in the Atlantic Coast League with North Carolina and Duke. Before the draft, he beat Nolan Smith and other high-quality defenders and was selected as the first team of the Atlantic Coast League's best team of the year with Irving.
Such fame was not selected until the 24th pick. He had complaints. Now there are people who say that the 70-year-old man is playing in the NBA. Who is he insulting? Are he treating the efforts of these NCAA players for several years as air?
The "Godfather" was praised on Twitter and regarded him as an inspirational role model. The Twitter that Jackson posted at this time was completely against the current, and the result can be imagined.
"What do you say, a rookie who has never played in the NBA? It seems like you have played in the NBA!"
"I think you may not even be able to beat the 'Godfather'!"
"Really, there are NBA rookies every year. I think you are taking advantage of the popularity, right?"
"That's right, you seem to have not signed the endorsement contract yet? I'm so anxious. I'm going to take advantage of the popularity and get some popularity. Is it easy to sign the endorsement of sneakers?"
...
Jackson's comments on Twitter were not polite at all, and the fact that there was no endorsement contract hit his sore spot.
"Yes, you are right. I have never played in the NBA. I can see if your so-called 'Godfather' can play in the NBA. See you on the New York Street Stadium!"
Jackson's Twitter was posted, and the Twitter exploded. Jackson is really here! NBA rookies are going to fight the "Godfather" one-on-one!
Although the "godfather" ruled the street court, it was really hard to say that they played with streetballers, and it was hard to say that they played with NBA rookies. After all, the gap between amateurs and professions is very big.
However, the first thing I was worried about was not the "godfather" but Jackson's friend.
"Reggie, don't go, what's the point of going to go? What can you prove if you win? Do you prove that you are better than a 70-year-old man?"
"Yes, Reggie, this game is meaningless. What if you lose accidentally?"
...
The hard work of friends failed to persuade Jackson, and even made him even more crazy.
Will he lose to a 70-year-old man?!
This is not trying to persuade him, it is completely insulting him!
Because he had not signed the contract yet and had no big money in his hands, he asked his close friends to borrow some money, then held a party, and announced at the party that he would go to New York Street Stadium to fight the "Godfather" and invite all his friends to go with him.
In order to show his attitude, he even found a person to record a video and posted it on Twitter.
Twitter was completely blown up, and it was really pushing itself to the dead end!
However, the fans were also excited. The "godfather" was very strong, but because of his opponent, he was already strong enough on the street court. They wanted to see who was stronger between him and the prospective NBA players.
When Tang Tian saw this series of things, he smiled bitterly and was speechless. He photographed the "Godfather" to accumulate popularity. Jackson's wave was a bit too sensitive!
However, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing. The popularity you can attract when playing against a prospective NBA player will definitely be even greater.
Tang Tian did not respond on Twitter, but instead pretended to be a godfather and went to New York Street Stadium as usual.
On this day, after a while, a huge agitation came from the sidelines.
Reggie Jackson, here it!
In addition to two teammates, Jackson also has a large number of friends, and even his mother has come. This is really a place to smash the "Godfather"!
As Jackson and his two teammates walked into the field, the whistles and cheers on the sidelines exploded.
This scene really makes people's heart beat faster and their blood boils!
"Can I fight?" Jackson asked with a smile and looked at Tang Tian.
This seems like an inquiry, but it is more like a provocation. If you don’t come, you’re timid!
Smith turned his head to look at Tang Tian at this time.
To be honest, Tang Tian is the No. 31 show, Jackson is the No. 24 show, and Tang Tian is also wearing a sweatshirt to hide his identity, let alone put on makeup, but in fact he cannot fully display his strength.
"Of course." Tang Tian replied in a hoarse voice.
Jackson nodded with a smile. He was really afraid that Tang Tian would disagree!
Friends all say that it is not good for him to beat the godfather, that is obviously wrong.
Indeed, it is nothing to win a 70-year-old man by a prospective NBA player, but the "godfather" has never lost. He will definitely be remembered as the first person to try new things. This is actually a disguised popularity.
Players on both sides were ready, and whistles were heard everywhere on the sidelines, and the game began soon.
Jackson and the others kicked off first.
Smith is against him.
Jackson directly signaled his opponent to pull it away, and then suddenly accelerated and started it with a step further, directly passing Smith and breaking into the inside to score a layup.
1 to 0.
Jackson's first step was very fast, and Smith's body, who had been retired for more than ten years, could not keep up with it at all.
Continue Jackson's ball rights.
Kenny Smith took a big step back this time, which was a breakthrough to focus on preventing Jackson.
Jackson didn't shoot, so he quickly pulled closer, and then changed direction again, and scored a layup faster than Smith.
2 to 0!
There was a turmoil on the sidelines.
This is the first time they have encountered this situation since the "Godfather" and his nephew beat Foster. As expected, no matter how amateur players are, they are still far from being on the verge of NBA players.
At this time, many viewers took out their mobile phones to record videos.
Jackson smiled when he saw it.
He could already foresee that he would be able to become popular tomorrow on InS.
The rookies of the lottery show have signed sneaker endorsement contracts one after another. After he became popular, it is his turn to sign.
"Nephew, let's change it." At this moment, Tang Tian offered to change defense with Smith.
After seeing the fans on the sidelines, there was a burst of cheers.
The "Godfather" is going to compete with Reggie Jackson! This is the scene they are looking forward to most!
Chapter completed!
