"U.S. dollars?"
"U.S. dollars."
20,000 U.S. dollars!
Tang Tian was overjoyed when he heard this. As expected, there was something to it.
The saying that rich women don't care about money is true.
"40,000," Tang Tian countered.
The tournament was about to start. This trip to New York was probably his last chance to earn Krypton points. 40,000, plus what he had earned before, and a few more streetball courts, he could probably scrape together 50,000. Then he could exchange it for a flop actor, which would be very useful in the tournament.
If Miss Song refused, it wouldn't matter to him. He was planning to take his time anyway.
"Deal." To Tang Tian's surprise, Miss Song agreed directly.
Does she really not treat money like money? He should have asked for more.
But since Miss Song agreed so readily, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to raise the price again.
After they discussed it, Miss Song gave him 20,000 in cash as a down payment, and then took him out of the streetball court and into a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
The NCAA was very strict about checking players' bank accounts. Miss Song's cash payment saved a lot of trouble.
As for why Miss Song had so much cash in the car, who knows… you can't guess what rich women are thinking.
The driver drove directly to a new streetball court.
When they arrived and got out of the car, Tang Tian found that it was very close to Rucker Park, and there were obviously more people playing ball inside.
It was really strange. Rucker Park, because it was a public court, was deserted in the winter because it was full of bird droppings and no one cleaned it. On the contrary, these private courts seemed unusually lively.
There were also people playing one-on-one games inside, and the shouts and cheers from the sidelines were obviously a level higher than the previous streetball court.
After Miss Song went in, she quickly met a black man.
The black man was very handsome, dressed coolly, with gold earrings in his ears and a gold necklace around his neck. It seemed that Miss Song was taking good care of him.
Miss Song didn't arrange for Tang Tian to meet the black man. Instead, she winked at Tang Tian, apparently a surprise she had prepared for her little boyfriend.
After the one-on-one game inside ended, Tang Tian quickly squeezed out of the crowd.
The same scene, the same plot, the difference was that there were even more people watching.
Tang Tian defeated one challenger after another, and the group of streetball players on the sidelines itched with anger, but they were helpless.
"Honey, why don't you go try?" Miss Song said to her little boyfriend when she saw that the time was right.
"Me? Jerry, I might not be his opponent."
"It's okay, I believe in you, you are the most amazing one, go." Miss Song said, giving him a loving kiss.
Although the black man was a little scared, Miss Song had already said that, so it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to go. Anyway, so many other people had lost, it wouldn't hurt to add him, and the most important thing was that Miss Song was happy.
"Anyone else?" Tang Tian put away the $2,500 he had just earned and asked the crowd.
There were more people here, but no one dared to come forward again. Strength and numbers were not directly proportional. The level here was actually similar to the previous court. After all, a streetball player of Foster's level was considered one of the strongest in New York.
"I'll go." The black man stood up.
The black man's appearance drew cheers from some people, but more people didn't recognize him.
Just like Miss Song said, her black boyfriend liked to play streetball, but his level was very average. To have a name in the streetball court, you had to rely on strength. Without strength, your popularity would naturally be low.
"Tom," the black man introduced himself.
As soon as the black man finished introducing himself, Miss Song couldn't help but shout excitedly from the sidelines.
Tang Tian couldn't help but have a dark look on his face after hearing this.
Jerry? Tom?
Tom and Jerry?
This is not only fresh and refined, but also a bit special!
"500 U.S. dollars," Tang Tian pretended not to know him and said directly.
Tom took out 500 U.S. dollars and put it aside, then walked to the three-point line.
There was a burst of cheers from the scene, accompanied by Miss Song's screams.
Although most of them didn't know Tom, he dared to come on the court after Tang Tian had won five people in a row. This courage was already worth cheering for.
Tang Tian threw the ball to Tom and then put on a defensive stance.
Tom dribbled and broke through, his dribbling looked a bit average.
When he broke through to Tang Tian, he made a change of direction to the right.
Tang Tian defended closely, making it difficult for him to dribble.
There was a commotion at the scene. Tang Tian had used close defense to lock down the others before.
When Miss Song saw this, she unconsciously put her hand on her chest and clenched her fist. She was worried that her Tom would be defended.
Tom was defended very tightly and had no chance. He tried his best to dribble to the right. Tang Tian made a mistake in his defensive judgment at this time and pounced to the left. As a result, Tom broke through.
Tom didn't expect that he could get past, but after passing, he reacted quickly and quickly scored a point.
There was a sudden burst of cheers from the sidelines.
Won!
Tom actually won!
Tang Tian had just defeated five top streetball players in a row! Unexpectedly, he was defeated by this unknown Tom!
"Tom! Tom!" The crowd began to shout Tom's name. After this day, Tom would probably be popular in Queens for a while.
Miss Song was also very excited, screaming loudly there.
Tang Tian's acting skills were perfect. He looked like he was defending very hard, and he was sticking very closely, but in fact, he was loose in the tight, and the cooperation was just right.
"Again!"
The cheers from the audience made Tom a little excited. He took the ball and walked back to the three-point line, signaling to come again.
"Again! Again!" Those streetball players still didn't like Tang Tian, and they were also cheering like crazy at this time.
Tang Tian was originally ready to give the money and leave, but he couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
He inadvertently looked back at Miss Song, who was desperately hinting at him to continue.
He glanced at Tom and finally put on a defensive stance.
Okay, 40,000 for one ball is a bit of something, buy one get one free, let's do it again.
Seeing that Tang Tian continued, the cheering from the streetball players on the sidelines became even louder.
Tom had never expected that he could score before, but after he actually scored, his confidence exploded. He felt that he had not played well before because he had not performed well.
Continuous change of direction, Tang Tian was sticking closer at this time, he had no chance at all.
In the end, he was forced to the point where he had no choice but to turn around and lean back.
Tang Tian's prediction at this time also had a little deviation, and the jump was obviously slower.
After Tom jumped up, he saw a wide open space in front of him, and his confidence exploded. He directly took a mid-range shot.
Tang Tian's block was a little late, and the ball went into the net hollow.
Scored again!
Those streetball players on the sidelines were completely excited.
Tang Tian had made them suffer so much before, and now he was finally defeated by someone.
Okay, two balls, that's enough spotlight.
Tang Tian prepared to give the money and leave.
"Again!" Tom was having a great time at this time and shouted again directly.
"Again! Again!" The streetball players on the sidelines also cheered.
Tang Tian frowned, is this endless?
"Drink some water." He signaled to the others and walked to the sidelines, took a bottle of water and opened it. In the process, he inadvertently walked to Miss Song.
"If you play again, you have to add money," he said in a low voice.
