Streetball advocates freedom and high-profile, let alone Tang Tian's strength, his high-profile way of speaking is very streetball.
Foster thought he had heard it wrong, and looked at Tang Tian with a smile. After seeing that he didn't look like he was joking, the smile slowly disappeared.
"I think if I defend five goals, you won't be able to score any of them." Tang Tian said calmly.
At this moment, whistles suddenly rang out from the sidelines.
This is no longer high-profile, it's simply pretending!And it's forced.
Some people below were whispering to each other, wanting to know who Tang Tian was from, but no one knew, and the only information they got was that he was a newcomer.
In the end, the unanimous conclusion reached was that Tang Tian was a brat who didn't know the heights of the sky and the earth.
But they also like to watch this kind of brat, and the more they talk about it now, the worse they will be abused by Foster later.
"Then come on." Foster was obviously a little irritated, he didn't say too much nonsense, and went straight to the three-point line.
"Wait a minute, the price hasn't been negotiated yet." Tang Tian continued.
"How do you want to play?" Foster asked patiently.
Tang Tian stretched out five fingers.
"$50 a game?"
Tang Tian shook his head.
"Boy, are you kidding me? If you want to play $5 games, go away, I don't have time to play this kind of low-end game with you." Foster put away his posture, and his interest suddenly disappeared.
With his value on the street court, there's no way he's going to play a game like that for $5.
There was also a burst of booing from the sidelines. They didn't expect Tang Tian to speak so loudly at the beginning, but in the end he was cowardly.
"No." Tang Tian shook his head.
"It's $500," he went on.
After he finished speaking, the noisy crowd around him suddenly fell silent.
$500!
In streetball heads-up, 100 is already an absolute high-end round. Even in New York, the birthplace of streetball culture, the price is not as high as $500, because if the price is a little higher, you can play commercial games. up.
There are insurance clauses attached to commercial competitions. If you can play commercial competitions, who will take the risk of injury to play this kind of heads-up game.
Foster also hesitated, $500 is not a small amount of money for him, and he has never played.
"Aren't you afraid?" Tang Tian saw that Foster was unresponsive, so he asked back.
He was really afraid that he would scare Foster away by talking too much, and that would be a big loss.
Scared, when the word came out, Foster's expression changed obviously.
Tang Tian first uttered a bunch of big words, then offered such an unbelievable price, and now he asked him if he was afraid. This was tantamount to putting him on the fire step by step. Cowardly.
As a street player, being counseled is the most shameful thing, and it will be difficult to play again in the future.
"What the hell are you here for?" Foster asked, looking at him.
"Me? I'm here to make money." Tang Tian replied.
After he finished speaking, there were more whistles and boos from the sidelines.
This is so fucking arrogant, if they were the people standing opposite, they would definitely kill Tang Tian!
"Okay, I accept." Foster said coldly.
He had been around the street court for so long, but he had never seen such a number one person as Tang Tian.
Although he hasn't played a professional game for a while, he has maintained his body very well. He is still planning to try his luck in the NBA Summer League this summer. If he wants to win him, unless he is an NBA-level player.
But how could an NBA-level player appear in such a place, and even talk about making money.
Those who can play in the NBA simply look down on this kind of small money.
Even if the opponent is a young player from another professional league, with five goals, it is impossible for him to score none of them.
Seeing that Foster agreed, Tang Tian retrieved the ball from the sidelines, moved his joints a little, and then threw the ball to Foster.
"Come on," he said, putting himself on the defensive.
Seeing that a fight was about to start, all the fans at the scene paid attention and looked at the field intently.
They were really curious about what gave Tang Tian the confidence to be so arrogant.
"Professor, someone is playing 500 innings over there." On a nearby field, a man ran to the sidelines and said to a man in a hood.
"500? Who is it?" The man was also a little surprised.
"One is a killer, and the other one is unknown, he is a yellow man." The visitor explained.
The man in the hood was even more surprised. Killer knew that a player whose strength was very close to that of the NBA would have someone of yellow race challenge him?And it was a $500 round, which is really unheard of.
He nodded, and then went to the next court with the visitor.
Over there, the match between Tang Tian and Foster has already started.
Chapter 46 He Won
Foster's first offense.
The left and right dribbles change direction, his dribbling skills don't have too many fancy elements in it, and the victory is stable.
Tang Tian didn't move, he just held his defensive position.
Foster suddenly changed direction and made a breakthrough to the right. He started this very quickly, which also attracted a burst of exclamation from the audience on the sidelines.
Among the few people who played against Foster before, many of them didn't even have the chance to attack, because they couldn't defend Foster at all. If they couldn't defend, they wouldn't have the ball, let alone win.
However, before their exclamations reached their peak, they were immediately overwhelmed by higher exclamations.
Tang Tian completely predicted Foster's breakthrough trend, and directly grabbed the position in advance, completely blocked his breakthrough route, and directly forced him to stop!
This person has more than just a big mouth!
Tang Tian can now display almost [-]% of the strength of an individual player's skill package. If he can defend against the quasi-NBA rookies like Butler and Brooks, he will naturally be able to defend against marginal NBA players like Foster.
Foster was surprised, and he immediately determined that Tang Tian played professionally. Although he didn't know where he played professionally, he was definitely professional. It was impossible for an amateur street player to have such an accurate prediction.
No wonder you dare to make such clamor, it turns out that there is a foundation.
After recognizing Tang Tian's identity, he knew the truth, but he didn't panic at all.
A young player who is not in the NBA, relying on his professional status, does not know how to act aggressively on the street, so he should be taught a severe lesson.
Turn around continuously after stopping the ball, and then turn around and lean back chicly.
The difference between a professional and a non-professional is that any skill has undergone tens of thousands of trainings. The technical movements are completely instinctive. Coupled with his excellent physical talent, this shot is fast and beautiful.
There was another involuntary exclamation from the sidelines.
But it was not for Foster, but Tang Tian. Tang Tian almost jumped up with Foster, and then stretched out his hand to completely block his shooting sight.
Foster only saw one hand, and barely raised the arc to avoid the block, but it was obviously short after the throw.
The basketball finally landed outside the basket, which is a non-stick!
The fans on the sidelines were stunned and forgot to cheer for a moment. Tang Tian really defended, no, not only defended, but also defended Foster!
This is not just pretending to be aggressive, but really a bit awesome!
There was a moment of silence, followed by bursts of cheers and whistles.
This 500 game is definitely worth the price!
"Prevention is very good." The person called the professor couldn't help but said after reading it.
"Damn it, I underestimated you!" Foster walked back to the three-point line.
"Aren't you going to exchange the ball rights?" The professor asked the people around him at this time.
"Their agreement is that Foster hits five goals, and if he scores one, the yellow man loses."
"It's interesting." After listening to the explanation, the professor couldn't help but look at Tang Tian again.
Foster's second goal.
This time, all the people on the sidelines were paying attention. After watching the first round of the contest between the two sides, they were afraid of missing any wonderful moments.
500 rounds, this round is worth at least $100!
This time, Foster dribbled the ball from the three-point line to the free throw line, and then started to attack with his back against Tang Tian.
He had seen Tang Tian's excellent anticipation ability in the ball just now, and it was not easy to make a head-on breakthrough.
If it's not easy to attack from the front, then hit from the back. Anyway, he is an all-round swingman with a lot of skills that can be used in singles.
Rely on hitting, turn around, rely on hitting again, suddenly turn around and lean back.
This ball he hit the white guard before was accurate.
But as soon as he turned around, he realized that something was wrong, because Tang Tian was not shaken off by him at all, and he jumped almost at the same time as the interference, and the long arm completely blocked his sight and shooting angle.
This guy, why did he react so fast!
This time he deliberately raised the arc, and then increased the strength of his shots.
"boom!"
The ball bounced off the back of the rim and flew behind the backboard.
In the case of completely losing the angle and vision, there is basically no difference between shooting and blinding.
If Kobe had a chance to make the shot, but for him, the chances were almost zero.
This time the booing from the sidelines was even louder.
Tang Tian has already defended two goals in a row!
The defense against the next one may be due to Foster's poor hand feeling or underestimation of the enemy, but it is not necessarily the case with two.
Foster's third ball.
He took the ball and didn't rush to attack. Instead, he took a deep breath and watched Tang Tian's movements.
Observe the dynamics of defensive players, which is what college coaches have said to him the most.
But after he watched it for a while, Tang Tian didn't move at all.
It seems that his college coach can't help him at this time.
But since Tang Tian doesn't move.
He suddenly jumped up and shot.
A sudden shot from the three-point line!
His idea was good, but he miscalculated the distance between Tang Tian and him. Before he jumped up, Tang Tian had already jumped in front of him. When he jumped up, Tang Tian stretched out his hand vigorously.
"Snapped!"
With a slap, Tang Tian slapped Foster directly!
The players on the sidelines were stunned.
This slap was clean and neat, it could even be said to cover the head and face.
Foster is a bit embarrassed!
"The yellow man, he won." The professor made a judgment after seeing this.
Not only the professor, but other street players, after seeing this block, also knew that it was impossible for Foster to score under Tang Tian's defense.
"It's not over yet!" Seeing the reaction of the people on the sidelines, Foster took the ball and threw it to Tang Tian.
He still has two ball chances.
Tang Tian returned the ball to Foster.
After receiving the ball, Foster chose to break through, and then made a sudden stop and retreated while walking.
This move is James Harden's signature move in the future, but Foster didn't understand the essence of this technical move at all, he didn't get enough distance from Tang Tian before he retreated.
