The Godfather of Basketball

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

He established a foundation last year to help war-torn children, and he naturally hopes to do something for his own country.

But this time he is not going to teach a man to fish, but to teach a man to fish.

The basketball school charges a fee, but the fee is not too high, and it is enough to maintain the operation of the school.

And compared to making a profit, his purpose of doing this is mainly to improve the overall basic level of domestic players.

In his previous life, he coached college basketball. What he could clearly feel was that most of the students were poor in physical fitness. This had a lot to do with diet, and it also had something to do with the lack of systematic training when they were young.

The strength of American basketball is because the basic basketball is done well.

Just like the domestic CBA, teams with good youth training, such as Liaoning and Guangdong, generally have good team records.

In his previous life, he, like most people, complained about poor basketball performance because of the lack of basic talents, but this kind of established fact is useless to complain, and it is the basketball school that can really make a difference.

Moreover, the basketball school he founded is a bit of a reference to the American NCAA model. There are scholarships for basketball, but there are corresponding requirements for academic performance.

Basketball is the school's main way out, but if they don't take the basketball way in the end, it can also guarantee that they can have other ways out in society like people who graduated from other schools.

Of course, Tang Tian's basketball school went all the way from elementary school to university, and many of the implanted basketball concepts and training methods were borrowed from the American NCAA.

In other words, where others succeed, it is natural to learn from it.

The school is planned by Tang Tian Company, and has also received strong support from the National Basketball Association and the local government.

The chairman attaches great importance to sports, Tang Tian now wants to help the country improve the level of basketball, it is difficult not to get such support.

Bringing a few people in charge of the company with him, Tang Tian boarded the plane back to China directly.

Swift is busy with the concert, Hathaway is also looking for a new house in Oklahoma, Tang Tian's trip to China this time can be regarded as relatively free.

The plane landed at Shanghai International Airport.

Tang Tian's basketball training camp and the basketball school he wants to establish will all be held here.

Sports and the economy are always linked. If you want to get off to a good start, you must first conduct pilot projects in economically developed places.

The Shanghai Basketball Association specially sent someone over to pick up Tang Tian and his party.

The person who came to pick him up was a vice chairman of the Shanghai Basketball Association, named You Xuele, a very educated name.

In his forties, to be able to become the vice chairman, he has something in his stomach.

"Coach Tang, how does our basketball school enroll this time? Are there any basic requirements?" You Xuele chatted with Tang Tian about the details of the school while in the car.

"Yes, some basic selection criteria will be relatively strict. Only those who meet the requirements can enter the school, and those who rank high will receive a full scholarship." Tang Tian explained.

"Well, you know that our country's basic basketball level is relatively poor. Will there be a problem of insufficient students?"

Hearing You Xuele's question about this, Tang Tian knew that this was a practical person in front of him, so he started chatting with him.

"This will indeed be considered, but first of all, our scholarship is relatively high, and the students who receive the scholarship can go to the United States to participate in special training in the summer, which will attract a group of students, and many other students who agree with his conditions are in rural areas, so Every year, the school will go to the grassroots to recruit people, and will also set up corresponding bursaries." Tang Tian continued.

He was a basketball coach in his previous life, he had a lot of contact with sports, and he also knew a lot about the actual situation, so he naturally knew how to select real talents.

"Okay, that's good." You Xuele was a little excited, he probably didn't expect Tang Tianhui to grasp the details so well.

Tang Tian's character is to do what he says. On the second day after arriving in the Shanghai stock market, while preparing for the basketball training camp, he also asked the company's people to start working on the basketball school.

Although all parties are actively promoting it, it will definitely take time to implement it.

Not to mention the follow-up, including the location of the school, the enrollment plan and so on, it is enough for them to toss for a long time.

Of course, these Tang Tians are just general checks, and the specific matters will naturally be handed over to the people below.

His main energy is still on his first basketball training camp.

The godfather of the NBA's 6 crown dynasty, this title alone is enough to make people flock to sign up.

After being screened according to the criteria, Tang Tian's first training camp recruited a total of 60 students.

Different from the general training camp, all the players recruited this time are in the age group of 9-15 years old. There are members of the youth teams of various CBA teams, as well as sports talents from major colleges and universities, and even basketball that they love. lovers.

Speaking of training camps, the purpose of this first session is to popularize American basketball training methods.

Just like treating a disease with the right medicine, if you want to improve your basketball strength in the fastest and most effective way, you still need to find the most suitable way.

The basic training methods of physical fitness, diet, the control and regularity of training volume, basketball skills, basketball tactics... etc., Tang Tian was involved in all of them in the first training camp.

Not only involved, but also compiled into a manuscript, which was distributed to the members of the training camp for free.

Moreover, the training camp is divided into several stages, and those who perform poorly will be eliminated at the end. Only those who remain at the end can fully receive all the content of this training camp.

And the last 10 people will still be eligible for admission to the first basketball school.

With rich and professional content, competition, and rewards, Tang Tian's training camp this time was quite successful, and he also promoted the first basketball school incidentally.

Everything is moving in a positive direction.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Tian has been in the country for less than half a month.

It was at this time that the London Olympics began.

The core of the Chinese men's basketball team this year is still Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue. The former two are still in the NBA. Sun Yue has returned to the CBA and has become the core player of the Beijing team.

However, unlike the previous Olympic Games, which mainly consisted of veteran players, this Olympic Games has brought many newcomers, including the up-and-coming Guo Ailun, and Zhou Qi, who performed well in the youth team after participating in the China-US basketball training camp.

With a core, veterans, and young players, the configuration of the men's basketball team seems very reasonable.

This is also the invisible change Tang Tian brought to this men's basketball team. It continued Yao Ming's career, allowed Yi Jianlian to stay in the NBA, and incidentally allowed young players like Zhou Qi to improve.

Even Guo Shiqiang, who has been an intern with the Cavaliers for two consecutive years, is included.

In the past 6 years, intentionally or unintentionally, Tang Tian has transformed the Chinese men's basketball team.
