Forward to the basket

Jerry Tarkanian, perhaps this name was a strange existence to Chen Feng who didn't know what it meant, and it was even a bit of a mouthful.

And the old man's eyes are too uncomfortable. Although its owner is very old, his eyes are always aggressive.

But Hammond is not a rookie like Chen Feng, just like when "Destroyer" was mentioned on the street, few streetball players would say that he didn't know this legendary guy.

It is impossible for many people in the ncaa to ignore what the name Jerry Tarkanian stands for.

An old coach who can win 788 games in the NCAA and still maintain a winning rate of 80.1%, if this is not a legend, it can only be said that the threshold of the NCAA is too high.

In fact, he even had the opportunity to break the record of coach Qiansheng, but some people and some things made him lose this opportunity to create history.

It's just that the era when Tarkanian ruled the world was still a bit far away from a bastard like Chen Feng.

When Tarkanian was calling the wind and calling the rain in NCAA, Chen Feng basically could only be in a liquid state.

"After waiting for a week, someone more reliable finally appeared." Chen Feng was still looking at the gray-haired old man in front of him, but Hammond had already answered the conversation.

"Are you... Joe Hammond?" The old man who claimed to be Tarkanian turned his head and asked a little hesitantly.

"Jerry, it seems that your memory is still so terrible. We only met once more than [-] years ago, and you can still recognize me." Hammond did not hide his identity.

For this shrewd old fox, unless you can really fool him, you'd better be honest.

"Some people, seeing one meeting is enough for me to remember for a lifetime. I think, not only me, but people who may have seen the battle between you and Dr. J will remember you who scored [-] points in half time. The only one I have My only regret is that I couldn't recruit you to my team, but for someone like you who can refuse the Lakers' recruitment twice, the NCAA's signature is really not attractive."

Tarkanian, who has a pair of fox-like cunning eyes, said, as if he was reminiscing about the earth-shattering score battle he saw on the street basketball court one afternoon.

As Tarkanian said, there are some games, even if you only watch them once, you will always remember them in your memory. It is a game with the ability to sculpt memory.

"If God asked me to choose again, maybe I would go with you." Hammond seemed to have some feelings about those past experiences, but it was just feelings.

Being able to refuse to be teammates with Chamberlain and West is not a decision that ordinary people can make.

Hammond is a legend on the streets, but he still has his own legend in the field of the NBA that he has never set foot in. He rejected the call of the Purple Shirts twice, which is definitely not something that can be described as awesome.

But time will not turn back. Many people have chosen their own path and kept going.

Even if it is wrong, you have to bear the consequences for your own decision. Hammond missed a lot, but this does not prevent him from being remembered by others for his crazy performance on the basketball court.

"God always creates regrets. He made me miss you, but now it seems that he gave me another chance." When Tarkanian said this, his eyes were fixed on Chen Feng.

To the old man, Hammond represented a little memory of the past, and this big man in front of him was what he came to New York for.

"Jim, give Chen Feng an hour off, he has some personal matters to deal with." Chen Feng himself was not ready to say anything, but Hammond had already made a decision for him.

This was the first time that old liar made his own claim, but Chen Feng knew that the old man in front of him was definitely not what he said, just an ordinary person who had been in the basketball circle for decades.

Even if the Duke came, Hammond didn't say much, he even blocked the Duke and Chen Feng without making more contact.

You know, on the ground in New York, the Duke is also a figure who stomps his feet and the ground can tremble a little, but his face has no effect on Hammond.

But as soon as the old man in front of him appeared, Hammond made such a move. Obviously, he knew the old man's energy.

At the very least, he definitely won't be like the guy before, just thinking about how to trick Chen Feng into signing a contract with him.

Jim is a good boss, and he has always been very generous to Chen Feng, so an hour's vacation is definitely not a problem, he even gave up his room above the restaurant.

The room is not big, but it is enough for two people to talk without being disturbed by the outside world. After all, the wine table is still too noisy, and it is not suitable for talking about some topics about the future.

Tarkanian was not in the mood to let those gossiping guys listen to his plan. Similarly, he also wanted to observe the bald boy in front of him more.

Hammond didn't keep up. Some things should be decided by Chen Feng himself, and he won't interfere too much.

As he himself said, he was just a person responsible for building bridges across rivers. As for whether he could not cross the river, it was Chen Feng's own business. A person should know what he wanted.

People who need the constant support of others to go on will never have the courage and ability to stand alone.

"I've seen the video of your game. Although it's only 9 minutes, it's enough reason for me to fly from Las Vegas to New York to find you."

Tarkanian's first words were straight to the point, without concealing the purpose of his visit.

"Nine minutes, what can you see? I know that there are many street game videos like this on that website, and there are many more flashy ones. Why did you come to me?"

Although Chen Feng knew that the video that Hammond asked someone to upload did get a lot of views, but the main reason was that it involved the battle between Brooklyn and Queens, and it was "Hot Sauce" who defeated it.

Otherwise, there are street bulls with dazzling performances on many websites, and his game is nothing, after all, the skills of big men are far inferior to those of guards.

You know, even "Hot Sauce"'s own performance videos often get hundreds of thousands or even millions of hits on YouTube.

"Because you are simple, practical, and smart. I am not the boss of and1, nor the coach of the Harlem basketball team. I want players who can win, not idiots who can only show off their skills."

"Those people in Brooklyn didn't deserve to lose. Even if they performed normally, you can tear their defense inside. I believe that with your muscles, no one can block you."

"It's just that you didn't want to be more fierce. That guy named Harrell might not even be able to handle a simple turn around."

"The most important thing is that compared with those guys who like to show off their skills, you are more suitable to play professional basketball. You should be tall and strong. You should play in BA instead of wasting your talents on the street, otherwise you will be in two or three years After that, you will lose your advantage."

Although Tarkanian looked like a 80-[-]-year-old guy, he didn't feel slow when he spoke, he was very direct, almost hitting the nail on the head.

"I just graduated from high school. I didn't go to college. I didn't even play in a high school league. I don't know anything except how to win games on the street. Does this kind of resume attract you to fly more than 2000 kilometers to New York? ?”

Chen Feng never believed that there could be pies in the sky. Although he believed that he could fight off many opponents on the street, if he could get some hidden boss-level agents or basketball scouts with just one game, he really thought that was just It's just a fantasy.

"When I introduced myself just now, I said that I am not a basketball agent, nor an NBA scout. I am just an old man who may go to hell at any time. I just want to do something that I think is interesting, and then let my own Names continue to be cursed by those who have always hated me."

"Also, I have to tell you that many of my former players were wild boys from the streets, including the little guy Alston, and I have taught him."

After saying this sentence, Chen Feng always felt that when the old man in front of him said this sentence, his tone was a little proud, but also a little lonely.

"In addition, I want to make it clear that those shitty resumes you mentioned have never been a problem in my eyes. If you are interested, you can ask that guy Hammond after I leave, what he said about me before Some of the things are still a little bit heard."

When Tarkanian talked about his resume, he didn't feel lonely in the slightest. It was more likely to be a kind of disdain, as if he didn't take these things to heart.

"Boy, I like to identify a person based on the first sight. The last time someone asked me to fly [-] kilometers was more than ten years ago, and you may be the last choice in my lifetime."

After saying this, Tarkanian chose to end the conversation. He had already met the person he wanted to meet. As for how the kid in front of him would choose the future, he should let him think about it.

Tarkanian is not one of those crappy and money-grubbing managers, he will not manipulate other people's life decisions, even if the big man in front of him does make him have the urge to recruit the other party immediately.

"There is only one question for you to consider, whether you really want to play professional basketball or not. If you decide, go to the Knickerbocker Hotel in Times Square and find me. I will wait for you there for three days."

Tarkanian left as quietly as he came, leaving only Chen Feng in the room thinking about the future.

"Who is that old man? Judging by your attitude, he should not be a simple person." When Chen Feng saw Hammond appearing in front of him, he asked seriously.

"You should have heard of Coach K." Hammond did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.

"The old man who has coached Duke University for more than 20 years? I heard that he has accepted the employment of the US national team. Kobe and Wade seem to admire him."

Although Chen Feng is not very familiar with things in the professional basketball circle, a famous coach like Old K is always like a thunderbolt.

What's more, the U.S. team can't afford to lose anymore, so they hype up the old K as a coach, and the idea is to rely on him to recruit big-name NBA stars.

The big names in the NBA are also very face-saving, and Old K may be their rare coach who can speak convincingly.

"The worst game old K has ever lost in his life was the NCAA finals in 90. Duke, known as the Blue Devil, lost to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas."

"103:73, that is the worst loss that old K has ever lost in his life, and it is also the largest point difference and scoring record in the history of ncaa finals."

"Never mind how many NCAA championships Duke has won in the future, this failure will never be erased."

"The old guy just now is the coach of the Las Vegas branch, Tarkanian. Some people called him the tiger shark. I guess the old K must still remember how painful the bite of the tiger shark was."

Hammond's attitude when he said these few words was very casual, but the shock they brought made even a nervous person like Chen Feng a little dizzy.

Your sister, was the old man so aggressive just now?Was he able to abuse the old K completely?Then he is definitely a big-name coach of NCAA!But why haven't I heard his name?

"I know what you're wondering about. I can only say frankly that the old man, like me, is an unruly person. He had a falling out with the management of NCAA and was forcibly fired."

"The reason is actually very simple. It's because his method of recruiting some street players to play in college is a bit of a loophole, and he has never had a good impression of those managers, so he just fell apart."

"However, this old man's methods are ruthless enough. A lawsuit cost the NCAA Alliance nearly 300 million US dollars for this, and he has to apologize publicly."

"It is said that this matter later became a special judicial example. I can only say that the NCAA not only lost money, but also lost face and became a laughing stock."

When Hammond finished speaking these few words, Chen Feng knew why Tarkanian told him just now that the resumes were bullshit.

Talking about rules and regulations to such a person who does not abide by the rules is a very bad behavior in itself.

"But Tarkanian also stayed away from the ncaa game because of these conflicts with the ncaa league. Anyway, no university dared to hire this guy to continue coaching. He coached in the nba for a while, but it was not successful, probably because he I've been in college for too long, and I'm a bit uncomfortable with the NBA."

People leave their names, and geese leave their voices. At this moment, Chen Feng understands what Tarkanian said.

"I just want to do something that I think is funny and let my name continue to be cursed by people who have always hated me."

An old king who lost his territory always hoped to leave something for others before he passed away. At least he wanted people to know that he was still that omnipotent man-eating tiger shark.

And Chen Feng will be the sharp tooth of this tiger shark that can still shine at the last moment...

(Seek all kinds of support!!! The new book issue, I really can’t afford to be hurt, especially when the great gods get together, the data is too sad now... But the old man Jerry is really interesting, when I found out about this character , I think he is very funny.)
