Chapter 1 Godfather

Tang Tian had seen "The Godfather," but he never expected to get a new nickname here.

But this nickname wasn't bad.

In his previous life, he was the basketball godfather, and now as a player, he also has a "godfather" nickname. It really is fate.

Moreover, "Godfather" is a level higher than "Professor," this is definitely a great nickname.

They played a few more games later, and the cooperation between Smith and Tang Tian got better and better, almost all of them winning 5-0.

After that, everyone on the sidelines was recording videos with their mobile phones. This night was the night that the "Godfather" rose to fame on the New York streetball court.

The next day, the "Godfather" video went viral on ins, and this even went beyond the interests of basketball fans.

Those passers-by also praised this 70-year-old man. What an inspiring game this was.

Carl had been filming from the beginning of the game, and the edited effect was the best. The number of likes for the video he posted directly exceeded 5 million, which was already super popular.

There were even hundreds of thousands of comments below.

"As long as you have a basketball dream in your heart, what does age matter? It's never too late to start playing basketball at any time!"

"As long as you have a basketball dream in your heart, what does height matter? Isaiah Thomas, who is 1.75 meters tall, can be selected by the Kings in the 60th overall pick!"

"This is basketball, the reason why we love it, it will bring us a lot of miracles and touches!"

"I have a question, the videos Carl posted before were all about Tang Tian, ​​why did he post someone else's this time?"

"Yes, and I heard that this old man is also named Tang, which is really a bit of a coincidence."

"You... don't you think this is worth posting? Such basketball is even more touching!"

"I agree with the person in front, although I also like Tang Tian very much, but I like 'Godfather' even more!"

...

Tang Tian couldn't help laughing when he saw these comments.

But this is indeed the case, the difference between an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy and a 70-year-old man is a bit too much.

With top-notch makeup artists and lighting effects, it is indeed difficult to connect the two together.

In the next period of time, Tang Tian and Smith, this uncle and nephew old man, showed up in the New York streetball court from time to time.

One passed the ball like a ghost, and the other made three-pointers like the sun. The two almost dominated the entire New York streetball court.

A group of New York streetball masters, such as buffalo, copter, tank, and Ankle.Breaker, were all defeated.

The name of "Godfather" quickly became popular throughout the United States during this shutdown period. Fans had no games to watch, so they all ran to the New York streetball court to chase the figure of the Godfather.

Wherever the "Godfather" appeared, the scene was crowded with people.

Some people took a few hours of flight just to watch this 70-year-old man perform his massacre in the streetball court.

Many fans even discussed on Twitter that the "Godfather" could completely play in the NBA.

As time entered mid-September, Tang Tian's muscle gain was almost completed, and his physical condition was the best it had been since crossing over.

But at this moment, another person's topic was constantly rising on Twitter, Reggie Jackson, the 24th rookie selected by the Thunder this year.

"They say a 70-year-old man can play in the NBA? God! Do you really understand the NBA?"

Jackson complained like crazy on Twitter.

Jackson's fame is smaller than Irving and Walker, but it is definitely not low.

His NCAA school, Boston College, is in the Atlantic Coast Conference with North Carolina and Duke, and before the draft, he was selected into the Atlantic Coast Conference All-First Team with Irving, overpowering a group of quality guards such as Nolan Smith.

With such fame, he was not selected until the 24th overall pick, and he himself had grievances.

Now someone is saying that a 70-year-old man can play in the NBA, who is this insulting?

Is this taking their years of effort as NCAA players as air?

There was a lot of praise for the "Godfather" on Twitter, and he was regarded as an inspirational example. Jackson's tweet at this time was completely against the tide, and the result was predictable.

"What are you, a rookie who hasn't even played in the NBA, saying? It's like you've played in the NBA!"

"I think you probably can't even beat the 'Godfather'!"

"Really, there are NBA rookies every year, I think you're trying to get some attention, right?"

"That's right, it seems like you haven't signed an endorsement contract yet? Are you in a hurry to get some popularity so you can sign a shoe endorsement?"

...

The comments under Jackson's Twitter were not polite at all, and the fact that he didn't have an endorsement contract hit his sore spot.

"Yes, you are all right, I haven't played in the NBA, but I can let you see how the so-called 'Godfather' is taught a lesson by someone like me who hasn't even played in the NBA!"

Jackson's tweet炸了 (zhà le - exploded), and Twitter exploded.

Jackson is for real!

Although they complained about Jackson's approach, it didn't mean they didn't recognize Jackson's strength.

Jackson is a serious NBA first-round pick!

That is one in a million, the 24th best young player in the world that year!

However, the first ones to worry were not the "Godfather", but Jackson's friends.

"Reggie, don't go, what's the point of going? What can you prove if you win? Prove that you are stronger than a 70-year-old man?"

"Yeah, Reggie, this game is meaningless, what if you accidentally lose?"

...

The earnest persuasion of his friends failed to dissuade Jackson, and even made him more frantic.

He would lose to a 70-year-old man?!

What a joke!

This is not persuading him at all, it is simply insulting him!

He directly threw a party, and then announced at the party that he would go to the New York streetball court to face the "Godfather"!

Moreover, he would invite all his friends and relatives to witness it together!

This time Twitter completely exploded.

NBA first-round pick, really going to face the "Godfather"!

Tang Tian smiled wryly and speechlessly when he saw this.

He was filming "Godfather" to accumulate popularity, Jackson's wave was a bit too sensitive!

However, this doesn't seem to be a bad thing.

Facing a quasi-NBA player, the popularity he can attract will definitely be greater.

Tang Tian didn't respond on Twitter, but went to the New York streetball court disguised as the Godfather as usual.

That day, they hadn't played for a while when there was a huge commotion from the sidelines.

Reggie Jackson is here!

In addition to two teammates, Jackson also had a large group of friends, even his mother came!

It was exactly as he said on Twitter!

When Jackson and his two teammates walked into the venue, the whistles and jeers from the sidelines exploded.

This scene really makes people feel excited!

"Can I play?"

After the booing subsided, Jackson looked at Tang Tian with a smile and asked.

This looks like an inquiry, but it is more like a provocation.

Streetball, not coming is the same as being a coward!

Smith looked at Tang Tian at this time.

To be honest, Tang Tian was the 31st pick, and Jackson was the 24th pick.

Moreover, Tang Tian was wearing a hoodie to cover his identity, not to mention makeup, so he couldn't fully发挥实力 (fā huī shí lì - display his full strength).

"Of course." Tang Tian replied in a hoarse voice.

Jackson nodded with a smile, he was really afraid that Tang Tian would disagree!
