Chapter 117 The Little Prince of the Nightclub

Tang Tian felt very deeply about Procopio's words.

In the front, he passed the ball to Thompson, and Procopio passed the ball to Thompson, and the latter's shooting percentage was significantly different.

Indeed, that's what a good trainer can do.

Tang Tian had actually considered recruiting a personal team before, and in his team, the trainer would have a very high status.

He glanced at Procopio, who clearly wasn't promoting himself.

"I'll look for one later." Tang Tian continued.

Procopio nodded, motioning him to find out his feelings first, and then go to Thompson to train.

Procopio only stayed in the training hall for half a day. In the afternoon, Tang Tian and Thompson helped each other to train together.

After a day of training, both of them have gained a lot.

After finishing the training, Tang Tian did some stretching before going back to the rental house.

"Are you free at night?" Thompson said actively.

"Are you going to practice at night?" Tang Tian looked at Thompson suspiciously.

"No, it's enough to train during the day. It's enough to have a certain amount of this kind of thing." Thompson shook his head with a smile.

"Then what do you want?" Tang Tian asked curiously.

"Nightclub, go to a nightclub to relax." Thompson said with a smile.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment. Thompson also likes to go to nightclubs?

He didn't expect this, he only knew that Harden was a famous nightclub little prince, and he didn't expect Thompson to be too.

And this habit seems to be there now?

"No, I have to go back to rest, and I have to continue training tomorrow." Tang Tian politely declined Thompson.

"Don't do this, work and rest can achieve the best training effect." Thompson continued.

Tang Tian shook his head. He didn't really like the noisy environment of nightclubs. He had been through it for almost a year, and he took Walker there once before.

"Okay, then when you're free. I'll take you back." Thompson said and walked towards his car.

Tang Tian nodded, he was really tired after a day's training.

Thompson's car is a Mercedes-Benz S450, which sells for more than $200,000. It can be seen that his family conditions should be very good.

Thompson sent Tang Tian downstairs to the rental house, and finally asked Tang Tian if he would go to the nightclub. After seeing Tang Tian shaking his head with a "what's the matter with you, little brother", he drove away.

Tang Tian didn't care, and after returning to the rental house to take a shower, he called Walker.

"Go to New York to train?" Walker was surprised by Tang Tian's invitation.

"Yes, there are two rooms in my rental house, and the other one is just for you."

"Well, okay, but it will take two days. I want to talk to UA about the details of the contract."

"it is good."

Hanging up the phone, Tang Tian lay on the bed and took a long breath.

The trainer has to ask Fagan to help him find it first. Before that, Walker can come and help him pass the ball, and if Procopio is here during this time, he can also help Walker correct some details. Kill two birds with one stone.

At the end of the morning training the next day, Tang Tian and Thompson went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

"By the way, how did you get Procopio?" Tang Tian asked Thompson curiously in the restaurant.

Although Procopio is only a trainer, because he has been in the industry for a long time, he has also taken care of other aspects. For example, the nutrition they eat now is all suggested by him, which is almost equivalent to a trainer plus half a nutritionist. worked.

"Me? I can't invite him, but Uncle Mike has a very good relationship with my father. My father asked for it." Thompson replied with a smile.

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

There are too many NBA players, and it is impossible for him to clearly know the family background of Americans, so he took out his mobile phone and searched.

Mitchell Thompson, a star in the 1970s and 1980s, averaged 13.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in his career, and has also averaged 20+ seasons per game. He is also a prospective All-Star player.

It's rare for the son of a star to become a star, and Thompson is very rare.

No wonder he can drive a Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Thompson was born in a basketball family.

"Procopio, is he still Kobe's trainer?" Tang Tian asked tentatively.

Although he knew that the opportunity was not big, but Procopio's business ability gave him a great shock, he still wanted to try as much as possible.

"No, it wasn't last summer. Kobe had a trainer for the Lakers. He seemed to be named Gary Vitti. It was only the previous year that he asked Uncle Mike to help him for a while." Thompson shook his head.

Tang Tian paused after listening, it seemed that the facts were a bit different from the legends.

"Then whose trainer is he now?" Tang Tian continued to ask.

"No one's. Uncle Mike will come to help me now when he is free, but it is said that he will go to the Mavericks in the summer. Coach Rick Carlisle has a very good relationship with him." Thompson really belongs to a basketball family. more than one.

"In other words, he is now unemployed?"

"So to speak." Thompson nodded.

Tang Tian was overjoyed after hearing this. He originally dragged Feigen to find a trainer. If Procopio could directly join his team, that would be the best thing.

"You want to hire him?" Thompson's response was half a beat, but he could still hear his words.

"He's expensive." Tang Tian didn't speak, but Thompson couldn't help reminding him.

"I know." Tang Tian nodded and replied without affirmation.

He really can't afford Procopio right now, but he will have money when he gets an endorsement after the draft.

Walker joined in after a few days of training.

Procopio is passing the ball to Thompson, and Walker is passing the ball to Tang Tian.

"When you pass the ball, look at the position of Tang's receiver. If it is too high or too low, he will not be able to shoot the ball immediately. It will be the same when you come to the NBA in the future. Only the position where you pass the ball is just right. , in order to make teammates more comfortable and quick to complete the attack." Procopio also came to give Walker pointers, the experienced trainer's observation of details is in place.

Walker passed the ball to Tang Tian, ​​and he was training his passing ability.

In addition to passing the ball, when Walker and Tang Tian practiced one-on-one offense and defense, Procopio also gave Walker some detailed advice on breakthroughs.

After Walker persisted in training for a period of time, the breakthrough efficiency was significantly higher than before.

I have to say that a top trainer is really helpful to the players, which makes Tang Tian more determined to include Procopio in his team.

This kind of day lasted for nearly two months. In addition to getting close to Procopio every day, Tang Tian had to eat and train to abuse Thompson.

Both three-point shooters, Tang Tian and Thompson basically have to learn one open three-pointer every day.

As a result, Thompson was being abused every day.

The current Thompson is not the Buddha of the future, and his shooting stability is far worse than that of Tang Tian.
