Tang Tian jumped up and blocked his sight again.
"boom!"
Foster's fourth shot, still missed!
He gasped heavily when he landed.
This player who didn't know where he came from, his defense is really good is a bit too much...
He even felt that the opponent could rely on this defensive ability to gain a firm foothold in the NBA.
Damn, who the hell is this and why is he in a street court in New Haven for $500?
"The fifth ball." Tang Tian threw the ball to Foster and reminded him.
It was within his expectation to keep four goals, but what he didn't expect was that it was easier than expected. It seems that after this period of time, his physical fitness has improved a little bit compared to before.
Foster received the ball, but he didn't attack immediately, and he even seemed a little overwhelmed.
From the first ball to the present, he has used only a few techniques, but he has a feeling that no matter which one he uses, he can't get past Tang Tian's defense.
Chapter 47 Professor
Foster did not move for a long time, and there was a burst of booing and shouting from the sidelines.
There is no time limit for heads-up on the street court, but you can't hold the ball for a long time!
Foster also knew that staying still was not an option. He took a deep breath, took two steps forward, and directly chose a simple pull-up jumper.
This is to simplify complex technology and prepare to use talent to solve problems.
Simple offensive techniques are sometimes the most effective.
"Snapped!"
But just before taking off to make a shot, Tang Tian slapped the ball away from his hand.
When the ball hit the ground, Tang Tian caught it again.
Foster's fifth single also ended in failure.
Tang Tian won the match.
Foster landed, and he suddenly smiled.
When he missed the first goal, he felt that he underestimated the enemy. He believed that he still had a chance when he missed the second goal. He was still unwilling to score the third goal, but he waited until the last goal failed. , he was relieved instead.
The opponent's defense is at the NBA level, so it's normal for him not to get in.
"What's your name?" Foster asked.
"Give me the money." Tang Tian stretched out his hand.
Foster froze for a moment, then turned around and took out 500 dollars from his bag and handed it to him.
Tang Tian counted and put it away, then said, "Tang."
"Don?" Foster searched in his mind but still hadn't heard the name.
"Which league do you play in?" Foster then asked.
"Why are you asking this?"
"Don't get me wrong, my agent is working on me to play summer league, if you're interested, I can..."
"Thank you, but there's no need." Tang Tian declined Foster politely.
He is definitely going to play in the NBA, but with Walker.
"Is there anyone else? 500 rounds." Tang Tian turned and looked at the crowd and yelled.
"..."
The players on the sidelines originally admired Tang Tian a little bit. After all, there are really not many people who can defeat Foster here, but Tang Tian's expression that I am only interested in money makes them really unable to admire him. .
"400?"
"300?"
"200?"
……
Tang Tian kept dropping money, but the people on the sidelines didn't respond.
They don't think their offensive strength can be stronger than Foster's.
"100?"
Just when Tang Tian shouted 100 and was about to give up, the white defender who had singled out Foster before stood up.
This white guard is an out-and-out local street player, and he dribbles very well.
"Okay, 100 is 100." Tang Tian was a little disgusted, a round of 500 was worth 5 rounds of 100, but no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat.
Seeing that Tang Tian had completely forgotten about him, Foster hesitated for a moment and prepared to leave.
However, he had just taken two steps when he was pulled back by a hooded man.
He originally wanted to throw it away, but he stopped immediately as soon as the other party opened his mouth.
"teach……"
As soon as he made a sound, he was signaled to silence by the professor.
"When he finishes typing, I have a little favor for you." The professor continued.
The professor said he wanted to help, but he had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and stopped first.
Over there, the match between Tang Tian and the white defender has already started.
With the same rules as when he singled out Foster just now, Tang Tian defended five goals against the white defender.
The white guard is completely different from Foster. His strength is dribbling, changing directions behind his back, under his crotch, in front of his body, and even "Bai Buddha" and "Sam Gold".
Such a dribbling show also attracted applause from the players on the sidelines.
Streetball has a low threshold, and dribbling is its most basic and most popular thing.
But the white defender was transported to the end, and Tang Tian blocked all his shots without exception.
There was a gap in height between the two of them, and if he couldn't fool Tang Tian with his dribbling, he naturally had no chance to score.
Moreover, Tang Tian is not the kind of slow-moving big center. It is even more impossible for you to play through the crotch or hit the board by yourself.
After the last five balls were played, without any suspense, the white defender was blocked by Tang Tian.
The white defender couldn't even beat Foster, and he just wanted to try Tang Tian. After the fight, he took the initiative to shake hands and hug Tang Tian. This was completely treating him as a player whose strength was higher than his own.
Tang Tian patted the shoulder of the white guard, and then shouted at the others.
"Is there anyone else in 100?"
No one answered.
You killed the two strongest people, who would be so stupid to give money!
Tang Tian looked around and didn't respond, and felt a little helpless. This trip was only worth 600 US dollars, which was less than playing basketball games before.
But he didn't lower the money anymore. On the one hand, no one else would play with him, and on the other hand, it was not worthwhile.
Seeing that no one came up again, he called it a day and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, a man with a hood came up.
"100 US dollars?" Tang Tian was delighted when he saw it, and he didn't expect to make another krypton gold value before he left.
The hooded man shook his head, then said, "I can make you more money."
As soon as Tang Tian heard that there was something interesting, he walked to the side of the court with the man in the hood.
To his surprise, Foster was standing there and hadn't left yet.
"I introduce myself, my name is Grayson Boucher, and I'm a streetball player." The man in the hood took off the hood and said.
Tang Tian saw him clearly at this time, a guard who was 1.7 meters tall, with a cut-cut baby face, and was quite handsome.
But Grayson Boucher, a name he had never heard before.
"Of course you can also call me a professor." The professor continued.
"Professor? Are you a street player professor?" Tang Tian said in surprise.
Several well-known figures in the streetball world, the goats of the older generation have become legends, and Alstom has also entered the NBA. After that, the most famous person is the professor.
But don't be confused by the word "professor". He is actually just a young man in his 20s. He was praised by the streetball game commentator as "able to teach opponents on the field" because of his excellent dribbling skills. That's why he was called a professor.
Tang Tian had heard of the professor in his previous life, but he had never seen a real person. It was quite surprising to see him now.
Of course, there is another point, in the krypton gold system, there is a golden right hand (professor), which is also a blue skill. For an amateur player, this is already against the sky.
"You said you could make me more money?" But after the accident, he was more concerned about the problem of making money that the professor said.
It's really too slow to earn krypton gold by playing streetball heads-up like this. I don't know how long it will take until the year of the monkey to reach 5 US dollars. If the professor really knows how to make money, that would be great.
"I will hold an exhibition match in New York in the summer. I want to invite you to participate as my teammates. Don't worry, this is a standard commercial game. You will get a contract with an insurance clause. Although the money is not a lot, it is definitely more expensive than playing this game." It's a kind of heads-up match." The professor glanced at the two and said.
Business competition?
As soon as he heard what the professor said, Tang Tian showed a look of disappointment on his face. NCAA players can't participate in commercial competitions, which means he can't play.
But summer?At that time, if his draft is over, he should not be subject to this restriction.
ps: Ah, I've become a salted fish, I can't get up without a recommendation ticket, you can figure it out!
Chapter 48 Walker Comes Back (Revised)
"Summer, what month do you mean?" He then asked.
"Mid-July." The professor replied.
"No problem." Tang Tian readily agreed. The draft will be in June, there will be summer league in early July, and the team is expected to start training camp in September, but mid-July and August are the most leisurely months.
"I'm fine." Foster also agreed.
"Very well, then it's settled, you guys give me a contact information." The professor said and took out his mobile phone.
Leave your contact information and the matter will be settled.
Being able to make money and play streetball games with the professor is actually pretty cool when you think about it.
"I think you seem to be short of money?" After talking about things, the professor turned to Tang Tian and asked.
"Probably." Tang Tian nodded. What he lacked was krypton gold value, but in fact it was similar to lacking money, except that the money had to be earned by himself from normal channels.
"Go to New York, there will be many unexpected opportunities in street courts in New York." The professor suggested.
"Thank you, I will go." Tang Tian nodded.
New York is the birthplace of streetball culture in the United States, and Queens in New York is also the most prosperous place for streetball culture today. There are indeed many more opportunities there than in New Haven.
After chatting for a few more words, Tang Tian went back to Kangda first.
"Professor, which league player do you think he is? He is yellow, so he should be easy to remember, but I have never heard of such a player in NBDL, CBA, or even Drew." Ster couldn't help but said curiously.
(Note: The CBA here refers to the American Continental Basketball Association, which was established in 1946.)
"Him? He's not a professional player." The professor smiled and shook his head.
"No?" Foster was even more puzzled. Tang Tian's defensive ability and physical confrontation could not be professional.
"I wasn't very sure before, but he asked me specifically what month the game will be. I'm basically sure. He should be a student at the University of Connecticut."
"University of Connecticut? He's an NC player!" Foster came to his senses.
By the way, he kept thinking of Tang Tian as a professional player, but he forgot about NC.
