Chapter 117 The Little Prince of Nightclub
Tang Tian was quite touched by Procopio's words.
His pass to Thompson in the front was obviously different from Procopio's pass to Thompson.
Indeed, this is what a good trainer can do.
Tang Tian was actually considering recruiting a personal team before, and the status of trainers in his team will be very high.
He glanced at Procopio, and it was obvious that the other party was not selling himself.
"I will find one after another," Tang Tian continued.
Procopio nodded, signaling him to find his own feelings first, and then go to Thompson to train.
Procopio only stayed with the players for a long time. 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 and then prepared to go back to the rental house.
"Are you free at night?" Thompson said with his own initiative.
"You want to practice more at night?" Tang Tian looked at Thompson in confusion.
"No, training during the day is enough. Just guarantee this kind of thing." Thompson shook his head with a smile.
"Then what do you want to do?" Tang Tian asked curiously.
"Nightclub, go to the nightclub to relax." Thompson said with a smile.
Tang Tian was stunned for a moment. Thompson also likes to visit nightclubs?
He didn't expect this. He only knew that Harden was a famous little prince in a nightclub, but he didn't expect that Thompson was too.
And it seems that this habit is now there?
"No, I have to go back and rest, and I have to continue training tomorrow." Tang Tian declined Thompson.
"Don't do this. Only by combining work and rest can the best training results be achieved." Thompson continued.
Tang Tian shook his head. He actually didn't like the noisy environment of nightclubs. He traveled around almost a year, so he only took Walker once before.
"Okay, then I'll take you back when you have time." Thompson said as he walked towards his car.
Tang Tian nodded, and he was really tired after a day of training.
Thompson's car is a Mercedes-Benz S450, which costs 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 a nightclub. After seeing Tang Tian shake his head, he showed a look of "What's wrong with you?", then drove away.
Tang Tian didn't care either. After returning to the rental house to take a shower, he then called Walker.
"Go to New York to train?" Walker was surprised by Tang Tian's invitation.
"Yes, I have two rooms in this rental house, and the other one is just for you."
"Well, okay, but I will have to wait two days. I will talk to UA about the details of the contract."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian lay on the bed and let out a long sigh.
The trainer had to ask Feigen to help find it first. Before that, Walker could come and help him pass the ball. And if Procopio was there for a while, he could also help Walker correct some details, killing two birds with one stone.
After the training the next morning, 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 just a trainer, he has taken into consideration other aspects after working for a long time. For example, the nutritional combinations they eat now are all recommended by him, which is almost equivalent to the role of a trainer plus half a nutritionist.
"I? I can't invite him, but Uncle Mike has a good relationship with my father, and it was my father who asked me." Thompson replied with a smile.
Tang Tian nodded after hearing this.
There are too many NBA players, and it is impossible for him to know the American family background clearly, 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 in his career, and had a season of 20+ per game. He is also a quasi-All-star player.
It is rare for a star son to become a star, and Thompson is very rare.
No wonder he can drive a Mercedes-Benz S-Class car. Thompson is born in a basketball family.
"Procopio, is he still Kobe's trainer now?" Tang Tian asked tentatively.
Although he knew that the opportunity was not great, Procopio's business ability shocked him a lot, so he still wanted to try it as much as possible.
"No, it wasn't the case last summer. Kobe had a trainer who was a Lakers, who seemed to be named Gary Witty. But he only asked Uncle Mike for help for a while if he had something to do the previous year." Thompson shook his head.
Tang Tian paused after hearing this, and it seemed that the facts were somewhat different from those in the legend.
"Then whose trainer he is now?" Tang Tian continued to ask.
"No one is there. 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, and Coach Rick Carlisle has a good relationship with him." Thompson is indeed from the basketball family, and he knows more about these news than the other.
"In other words, he is now unemployed?"
"So you can say that." Thompson nodded.
Tang Tian was happy after hearing this. He was originally dragging Feigen to look for a trainer. If Procopio could enter his team directly, it would be a great thing.
"You want to hire him?" Thompson's reaction was half a beat slow, but he could still hear the meaning of his words.
"He is very expensive." Tang Tian didn't say anything, but Thompson couldn't help reminding him.
"I know." Tang Tian nodded and replied without saying certainty.
He really can't afford Procopio now, but when he gets the endorsement after the draft, he will be rich at that time.
After a few days of training, Walker joined in.
Procopio is passing the ball to Thompson, and Walker is passing the ball to Tang Tian.
"When you pass the ball, you have to look at the position of the receiver Tang. If it is too high or too low, he cannot shoot at the first time. The same is true when you go to the NBA. Only by passing the ball just right can your teammates complete the attack more comfortably and quickly." Procopio also came over to give Walker guidance. The experienced trainer has a very good observation of the details.
Walker passed the ball to Tang Tian, which was also training his passing ability.
In addition to passing, when Walker was practicing one-on-one offense and defense with Tang Tian, Procopio also gave Walker some details on breakthroughs.
After Walker persisted in training for a while, his breakthrough efficiency was significantly higher than before.
I have to say that a top trainer has helped the players so much, which has also made Tang Tian more determined to include Procopion in his team.
Such days lasted for nearly two months. Apart from getting close to Procopio every day, Tang Tian was to eat and train to abuse Thompson.
Both three-point shooters, Tang Tian and Thompson basically play open three-pointers once a day.
As a result, Thompson was abused every day.
