Chapter 37 Can We Play Again?

"A ball boy?" Barnes seemed surprised.

If Zeller had said that Tang Tian was just a walk-on player who later earned a scholarship, he wouldn't have been so surprised. But the fact that he was a ball boy before meant that Tang Tian had no talent at all, yet he was able to play. That was really interesting.

"You want to try?" The person running the game was just a regular merchant and didn't recognize Tang Tian. Seeing the crowd cheering so loudly, he felt a little excited.

If no one else came out, the crowd would disperse. Now that someone with even more popularity had come out, there would only be more people.

Tang Tian nodded, took out $5 from his pocket, and handed it over, then walked to the free throw line.

A half-court, you can choose any shooting position, you can even change the spot to shoot, but each shot must be taken within 5 seconds, and the interval between each shot must not exceed 5 seconds. A very simple game rule.

"John, how many do you think he can make?" Kendall Marshall wanted to bet with Hansen again.

"5~7? Besides Jimmer that freak, and Washington's Klay Thompson, I don't think there's anyone else in the league who can shoot more than Harrison." Hansen listened to what Zeller said and made a judgment.

"John, I have to remind you, this guy just made 7 three-pointers in the game against Georgetown." Zeller reminded.

"Oh, really? Then he might really be able to surpass Harrison. Is he a three-point shooter?" Hansen was a little surprised. Most shooters look thin, but Tang Tian looked pretty strong, and he even looked like he was playing power forward.

"Yeah, he only took 7 shots." Zeller continued.

"Hiss!" This time Hansen gasped.

"7 for 7, 21 points?" Barnes was also a little surprised at this time. Georgetown University's strength was not bad, yet they let an opponent score 21 points on 7 shots?

This was not just a little interesting, but a little unbelievable.

"Forget it, I won't bet with you." Marshall waved his hand directly, indicating that he wouldn't bet. This Tang Tian sounded a bit elusive.

"Don't do that, then let's bet on 15 shots, how about that? He can't possibly shoot more than Jimmer that freak, right?" Hansen had just lost money, so how could he let Marshall give up so easily.

"Okay, then I'll bet he can't make 15. If he makes more than 15, you win, 10 bucks."

"Deal!"

While Hansen and Marshall were talking, Tang Tian had already chosen the three-point spot at the top of the arc and started shooting.

Take the ball, aim at the basket, jump, straight arm, wrist flick, the whole shooting action was done in one go, as smooth as in the training gym.

"Swish!"

The ball also went steadily into the net.

The crowd burst into cheers.

The person running the game saw that Tang Tian's first shot was so steady, he knew that this was someone with substance, and quietly retreated to the side to send a message to the shills in the crowd, telling them to be ready to cheer later.

"Looks like he's got skills." Barnes nodded in affirmation after watching Tang Tian's first shot.

Tang Tian completely ignored the reactions of the people around him and continued to shoot the second shot according to his own rhythm.

"Swish!"

Clean.

The third one.

"Swish!"

Clean.



The crowd began to cheer, and later they stopped making noise and just watched Tang Tian perform.

Tang Tian quickly finished shooting half a basket of balls. He had already made 8 in a row, more than Barnes just now.

While shooting, he also inadvertently flashed an idea. If he trained, could he participate in the NBA three-point contest?

But soon this idea was rejected by himself. His shooting speed was too slow, and it would definitely not be advantageous for him to participate in that kind of timed competition.

While shooting and thinking, he unknowingly shot 14 balls.

All of them were clean shots, and they looked very easy.

It should be easy, he usually practiced more than this in a set when he practiced in the training gym.

"This guy, a bit of a freak!" Marshall felt at this time that the 10 bucks he had won might be lost again.

"If we meet in the championship, it will be a bit troublesome." Hansen was playing power forward, and he was not concerned about winning those 10 bucks at this time, but the possible games.

Tang Tian's 15th shot also went in.

At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on Tang Tian.

Before, Fredette had missed the 16th shot, which was also the most that anyone had made today.

Tang Tian took a break.

"One more! One more!" The shills on the sidelines thought he was going to stop, and directly started shouting there.

Barnes frowned slightly when he heard it, but he didn't say anything. Although these people's cheering was a bit annoying, he also wanted to see what Tang Tian's limit was.

Of course, Tang Tian didn't mean to stop. To be honest, he felt that 1000 dollars was too little.

The 16th ball, Tang Tian took the ball and continued to shoot.

Still a coherent shooting action, the arc of the ball was also quite standard.

"Swish!"

The ball still went cleanly into the net.

The fans at the scene cheered.

Tang Tian was as stable as a shooting machine!

The person running the game was a little nervous at this time. He could get shills to cheer and let the players shoot to the end, but there was a limit to the end. If Tang Tian made 20 consecutive shots, then the 1000 dollar prize would be his.

He didn't know where this immortal came from, shooting so accurately.

If he really took away 1000 dollars, then all the money he earned today, and yesterday and the day before would be spit out.

"The 17th ball!" He deliberately raised his voice and shouted.

Those shills immediately understood.

Tang Tian's 17th shot, just as he was about to shoot, those shills suddenly shouted in a mess.

It sounded like cheering, but it was obviously interference.

"Swish!"

But Tang Tian was not disturbed at all, and the ball still went cleanly into the net.

"Shut up!" Barnes turned around and shouted at those people. He had had enough, these people were purely here to make trouble.

Basketball players were already tall, not to mention that Barnes was also surrounded by several big guys. Those people didn't dare to shout anymore.

Tang Tian's 18th ball.

"Swish!"

Still a clean shot.

The person running the game couldn't help but reach out and wipe his sweat. This guy had shot so many, didn't his hands ache? Wasn't he tired?

The 19th ball.

"Swish!"

Still the pleasant sound of a clean shot.

The onlookers couldn't help but cheer, this was simply amazing!

"The last one." Marshall couldn't help but swallow when he spoke.

"Yeah." Barnes nodded. He suddenly had high expectations for Tang Tian to make 20 shots.

The person running the game was also nervously watching Tang Tian at this time.

The 20th ball.

The same action, the same arc, and, the same sound.

"Swish!"

Tang Tian, ​​won 1000 dollars!

The surrounding crowd instantly went wild, cheering and whistling constantly, finally, finally someone won this 1000 dollars!

Tang Tian also smiled and turned around, looking at the somewhat dejected merchant.

"Can I play a second time?" he asked.
