Chapter 3 Becoming a Suns Trainer

"mark?"

Barkley shouted at this time and then passed the ball in.

Mark West caught the ball, calmed down, and started to dribble and hit Wang Tiejun with his back, trying to get closer to the basket before taking a shot.

But Wang Tiejun used his shoulders and chest to kill him from behind, preventing him from making any progress.

His strength is really only at the level of a role player. He entered the league in 1983 and is now almost 33 years old. He is in the late stages of his career. He only has 55 statistics in his career. He used to be a substitute for the Suns. There is really no center position for the Suns this year.

People can use it. It is said that there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is the king. As an old man, he picked up a main position.

Seeing that he couldn't get in, he became a little annoyed and immediately used his elbow, suddenly slid down, and at the same time swung his right elbow hard, hitting Wang Tiejun in the face like a whip.

"Bang!"

Then he took the opportunity to slide down and hit the basket with one step, then hit a dunk.

"Haha, just fuck him like this!"

"Brother, one more."

"Chinese, get out of New York!"

A group of black guys jumped and screamed with excitement.

"Damn it, damn it, you have the guts!"

After suffering a loss, Wang Tiejun gritted his teeth and cursed bitterly.

There was a red mark on his left cheek, which was the biggest loss he had ever suffered on the basketball court.

Barkley secretly shook his head. He came to the Suns from Philadelphia this season just for the championship, but the strength of the main center disappointed him. He was very disappointed. Against a street kid, he actually relied on his elbows to score. Facing

How could a super center like Ewing be eaten to the bone? He couldn't help but look at Ewing on the sidelines.

Sure enough, the gorilla's face was still as dull and indifferent as ever, it was that kind of honest and careless person, and there was no trace of the two people in the duel in his eyes, because he could blow up both of them with one hand.

guy.

"It's your turn to attack, Pharaoh." Buckley shouted.

Wang Tiejun came to the low position on the left wing and started to take position. After Mark West stood behind, he immediately leaned back tentatively.

"easy."

Under the test, West's center of gravity behind him suddenly relaxed, and he knew in his heart that the opponent's strength was not as strong as his, and it was much worse. He had not used his full strength yet, and he had not used the iron mountain to support him at all.

The next moment, he immediately began to increase his strength and squeeze in, trying to gain a deeper position. The position was very strong.

Mark West used all his strength to push his upper elbow into his lower back, and his upper knee to bend his knee. However, he was still crushed by Wang Tiejun in the confrontation. It can be said that he was not an opponent of the same weight at all, and he could not stand on his feet at all.

Stay, keep retreating.

In terms of tonnage, Wang Tiejun is 10 kilograms heavier. That is a huge difference. How much power can ten or twenty kilograms of muscle explode?

In boxing, three to five kilograms is a level, let alone ten kilograms?

In terms of strength, it should be at least one level stronger.

In terms of confrontation, Wang Tiejun's low-post confrontation ability is level 91, and it is not known whether the aging West has level 75 now.

The internal competition is a head-to-head confrontation between muscles, and there is nothing imaginary about it.

Moreover, Wang Tiejun was just squeezing and hadn't used his hitting moves yet.

"Very strong! Very strong in confrontation! But his technical movements are a bit stiff. He probably doesn't have much playing time. He is not a professional player."

Colangelo had a new understanding of Wang Tiejun's strength and confrontation capabilities, but he also saw some weaknesses.

"Catch the ball."

Barkley was still facing his teammate. He was afraid that Wang Tiejun would squeeze directly to the basket, so he quickly passed the ball over.

Wang Tiejun could only stop, grab the ball with one hand, and firmly hold the ball in his hand.

With the force of those five fingers, the ball immediately deformed, which shows how strong his control over the ball is.

As someone who has practiced Bajiquan since childhood, there is one basic skill that he has also practiced, which is to specifically train the Bajiquan grappler to grasp the iron ball with both hands.

His hands are too big and powerful. The largest iron ball he has ever used was 10 kilograms, so his palm and finger strength are very strong, and he has a pair of unicorn arms.

"What big hands!"

There was no reference object before, so I didn't feel it yet. Now that I had the ball for comparison, everyone at the scene was surprised.

"He has the hands of a superstar, a strong body, absolute height, and long arms. His static talent is pretty good."

Colangelo was the same, staring at Wang Tiejun without blinking.

"Bang!"

Wang Tiejun leaned over to dribble, his feet suddenly came down, and when he twisted his waist and hips, six forces merged into one, instantly bursting out with huge power. His shoulders and back hit Mark West's chest with absolute ferocity.

The sound of impact was very dull.

"Click!"

Mark West's chest was instantly crushed by a huge force, and the air in his chest was squeezed out at a high speed, making a scream like a chicken's crow. The whole person was knocked down like a stake.

"Bang!"

Wang Tiejun took the opportunity to grab the ball with one hand, stepped over Mark West in one step, and rose up like a giant beast. He dunked with one hand, exploding the rim, and the entire rim was knocked down instantly by him.

It sank, as if it was about to collapse.

"pretty!"

Buckley couldn't help but blurt out his praise.

"good!"

Colangelo's eyes lit up on the sidelines.

Among all centers in the league, only this year's No. 1 pick, Shaquille O'Neal, possesses this fierce crushing style.

Of course, he does not think that Wang Tiejun can compete with O'Neal, because O'Neal's flexibility and explosive power are top-notch, and he can be said to have both strength and softness, while Wang Tiejun's ball shows completely fierceness and power. Moreover, the technical level of the two is,

It's also completely incomparable.

"Um?"

Ewing, who had always been indifferent, moved his eyes.

He doesn't have this kind of power.

He doesn't have this kind of strong back-up technique that relies on strength to beat the defender.

He thought that Wang Tiejun, a yellow man who claimed to be the first center, was just a clown, but now it seems that he is a clown with more or less skills.

But that's all. West's strength is so poor that it doesn't mean anything at all.

"Well!"

Mark West was knocked out of breath and lay on the ground for a long time before recovering. His face was pale and he looked at Wang Tiejun above his head in horror.

His own playing style is soft and he doesn't like confrontation. The reason why he was so defensive just now was that he thought Wang Tiejun was just a street kid who could show off his skills. Unexpectedly, he encountered a tough opponent.

Now, in his eyes, this Chinese is a beast that wants to eat people, and he regrets standing up.

"Xie Te! This damn Chinese actually dares to step over our brother's head?"

"Damn it, he shamed our brother!"

Several gangsters were also shocked, and after reacting, they started shouting again.

"Hmph! It's like dog food!"

Staring at the gangsters and cursing in Tianjin dialect, Wang Tiejun roared at West on the ground: "Hey, that's all you have? Get up and continue fucking with me."

"Ahem, damn, I was careless!"

Mark West coughed painfully, clutching his chest and climbed up, looking very embarrassed.

In fact, he felt very uncomfortable now, as if his chest had been crushed.

The duel continued, with West attacking.

He caught the ball and deliberately stepped on Wang Tiejun while dribbling, then took the opportunity to go in and make a layup. The offense was quite easy.

"Mark West's strength is very poor. He still can't defend against this Chinese young man. It shows that his defensive experience is seriously insufficient, his pace is not flexible enough, his movement speed is average, and his turning speed is average."

Colangelo guessed in his mind.

At this time it was Wang Tiejun's turn to attack.

This time, West didn't dare to take the risk anymore and took a detour.

In this way, Wang Tiejun went directly to the basket, pushed the forward West with one hand, and received Barkley's pass.

As soon as the ball came into his hands, West almost had it hanging on him.

"Bang!"

He leaned over to dribble, exerted force with his feet, twisted his waist and hips, and the six forces merged into one, and his strength exploded instantly. With a bang, under the impact of his shoulder and back, West behind him was stunned again.

He was knocked down with a grunt.

"Bang!"

In the next moment, he shot up and completed a one-arm dunk.

"Trash, at your level, are you really an NBA player?"

After releasing the basket, Wang Tiejun yelled at West, who was unable to get up.

But the strange thing is that Barkley and Colangelo shook their heads at the same time during this dunk at the basket. From their looks, they didn't seem to think this was a good offense.

"Damn guy!"

The embarrassed West gasped and climbed up, but he did not dare to go up and trouble Wang Tiejun.

"Okay, Erping, this matter is over." Buckley said loudly.

At this time, Colangelo said: "Charles, please take Mark and leave first. I'll be right back."

In these one-on-one duels, he saw that Wang Tiejun didn't have many offensive tricks. He just arched to the basket and then shot. His other offensive skills should be very average, and he didn't have much use of steps. He just used strength to beat the opponent. His only skills were

The movements are also a bit jerky, and the overall strength is not good.

For example, he thinks that the last shot at the basket is completely unnecessary. Wouldn't it be okay to just get up and dunk or lay up for an extra shot?

This is due to poor offensive habits. With Wang Tiejun's height and wingspan, the best way is to hit high.

In addition, his performance on the defensive end was even worse, mainly because he had little game experience and did not use his physical advantages at all. With West's poor strength, he failed to defend even one of his two attacks and did not even make effective defensive moves.

But overall, he believes that Wang Tiejun still has some potential, his physical condition is not bad, and his static talent is very good, but his skills are too poor, he has no competition experience, and he is still not up to the level of a professional player.

However, the team does lack a big center-type training partner. This year's No. 22 pick in the first round, Oliver Miller, weighs up to 127 kilograms. He has high hopes for him and wants to train him to become the team's future center, so he wants to get Wang Tiejun back.

Be a sparring partner.

But he also made two-pronged preparations. Wang Tiejun can be a sparring partner first. If his skills can be better, he may also be signed as a substitute at the fifth position.

Also, Wang Tiejun's strong confrontation ability is precisely what all the Suns' center players do not possess.

From Andrew Long, the main center last season, to Mark West this season, they all lack confrontation ability, their playing style is soft, there are too few offenses at the basket, and they can hardly talk about lethality.

This was one of the most important reasons why he wanted to take Wang Tiejun under his command.

The reason why we don't sign him directly is because the team already has fifteen players. If we sign him now, we must first lay off or trade one of them.

Being a sparring partner is the most cost-effective way. It doesn't cost a lot of money and you can catch Wang Tiejun first.

"Young man, I am Jerry Colangelo, the general manager of the Suns. You can call me Mr. General Manager, or you can call me Mr. Colangelo."

He walked up to Wang Tiejun, extended his hand, and introduced himself.

"Hello, Mr. Colangelo, do you have anything to do with me?" After shaking hands, Wang Tiejun asked expectantly.

"My team still needs a sparring partner, are you interested?" Colangelo said with a smile.

"Sparring partner?"

Wang Tiejun felt as if a large basket of pies fell from the sky and hit him on the head. The system was indeed right, and there was a bright future in another village!

"Okay, but I want to know how much money I can get per month?" he asked quickly.

"You get a weekly salary, you get paid once a week, you get $850 a week, you work 24 weeks a season, and you can get a salary of $20,000 in half a year," Colangelo said.

"Twenty thousand dollars?"

Lao Wang's eyes lit up.

"But, you need to pay taxes. Twenty thousand dollars qualifies for a 15% personal income tax rate, and you are single, and your income of 12,000 dollars is tax-free. Well, you need an accountant, he will help you pay taxes.

Colangelo laughed.

When he heard "but", Lao Wang knew something was wrong, but after all calculations, it was still better than working illegally. Moreover, this was a formal job and he could apply for a work visa, so he was still very happy.

"You live down here?"

Following Wang Tiejun, he came to a dirty alley full of garbage. Looking at the dark sewer mouth under his feet, a stench hit his nose. Colangelo couldn't help but cover his nose and took a few steps back before asking in surprise.

road.

Wang Tiejun chuckled and said: "There is an abandoned sewer down here. It is warmer than putting up paper boxes and sleeping tents on the street. There are just a lot of rats and cockroaches, and it is a bit smelly, but you will get used to it."

Watching Wang Tiejun disappear at the sewer entrance, Colangelo shook his head. The temperature in New York at night is now around zero and will continue to drop. If it snows, if you live down here, you will probably freeze to death one day. In New York,

Many homeless people freeze to death on the streets every winter.

In fact, he didn't know that it was really warm in winter and cool in summer down here. After cleaning it, it wasn't too smelly. Wang Tiejun has been living here since he arrived in New York. In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, he couldn't spend money to rent a house.

About two minutes later, a large, tattered backpack was thrown up, and then Wang Tiejun climbed out with a stench.

"Sir, let's go." He said with a smile.

Colangelo nodded and deliberately took a few steps away from Wang Tiejun. It was not that he wanted to be rude, it was too stinky.

Following Colangelo, Wang Tiejun walked with his head held high, facing the sunshine slanting above his head, carrying a big bag, feeling that he was walking into a new life, and the pressure of more than 70,000 yuan in debt suddenly disappeared.

Much smaller.
