The Godfather of Basketball

In the game in January, the Cavaliers were completely different from the past two months. They directly played health-preserving basketball.

The veterans of the team rest one by one, and even if they play, they only play for about 15 minutes.

The Cavaliers have basically become the world of young players.

Although the record has ups and downs, it can be felt that with the increase of playing time, their self-confidence has improved rapidly, and their performance has become more and more stable.

By January and a half, the Cavaliers had 5 wins and 3 losses in 8 games, but the performance of young players was better than one.

Anderson scored 10.6 points from the previous 6.8 points.

Green's average scoring in these 8 games has also reached double digits, averaging 10.1 points per game, and his performance is even better than at the beginning of the season.

Of course, the most amazing thing is still Matthews. He looks like a defensive version of Mo Williams next to James. So far, he has averaged 17.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. Tyreke Evans and Stephen Curry are competing for Rookie of the Year.

And good things come in pairs. While the Cavaliers are progressing steadily, the performance of the Kings and Clippers is getting worse and worse, and the value of their first-round picks is also rising.

The Cavaliers have really achieved a high-ranking draft pick while hitting the championship.

On this day of the team's daily training, Tang Tian did not go to the arena as usual, but after explaining to Casey and Cassel, he flew to Washington in a suit.

The Rockets were the defending champions last year, and by convention they are going to the White House to meet the president.

This was a natural thing, but there is a problem that their head coach Tang Tian left last season.

In theory, Tang Tian could choose to go or not.

But President Oboma has said that the second round that was agreed last year has not yet been compared. If going does not violate the regulations, it must go.

Not to mention that obama also asked his assistant to send him a separate invitation letter.

If you don't go here, it's a bit inappropriate.

Meeting with the Rockets players in Washington, the coaching staff and players of the Rockets were very enthusiastic.

After all, the conflict at the beginning was also with Morey. The players and coaches he had coached respected him very much.

"Coach, the air in Cleveland is fresh, but the nightlife must be very deserted. Would you like me to take you to a nightclub in Washington at night?" Dragic said.

His words immediately elicited laughter from the team members in the car.

The bus drove towards the White House amidst laughter and laughter.

I got off the car at the White House, because Obama was still attending a press conference, the staff took them to the garden for a stroll first.

Seeing that Yao Ming was tired, Tang Tian went up to chat with him, and the two of them walked to a place where there were fewer people without knowing it.

"Why, you look very tired. Are you trying to conceive recently, and your wife is about to hollow you out?" Tang Tian said with a smile. He is no longer the head coach of the Rockets, but he can chat about anything.

Yao Ming froze for a moment, then laughed into a big "囧" emoji.

"Dayao, I know that Tom is a little conservative in employing people. I think you should take the initiative and ask him about playing time. You are tall and heavy. If you are too tired, you will easily get injured again." It was a joke, Tang Tian continued.

Although Thibodeau used to be his assistant coach and the relationship between the two was good, but he is no longer in the Rockets, and Yao Ming can only ask for such matters.

Yao Ming nodded, looking at Tang Tian with strange eyes.

Most of his current achievements are given by Tang Tian, ​​and only how Tang Tian uses him is the best.

The two chatted about other things.

At the end of the chat, Yao Ming suddenly looked at Tang Tian and said, "Coach, I have the option to jump out of my contract early next year..."

"Don!"

At this moment, someone called them from behind, it turned out to be Cole.

"It's over with the President." Cole smiled and waved to them.

Cole's sudden appearance also forced their chat to end early.

Yao Ming went to the front, and Cole also pulled Tang Tian to chat.

"Don, I know you are short of a big man who can carry inside. How about I trade Robin Lopez for your Channing Frye?"

"Don't think about it."

"I'll add a second round."

"You add a first round and I'll think about it."

"Are you robbing?"

"Aren't you too?"

...

Both of them are general managers now, and when they meet, they can't get away from this topic.

While speaking, they had already arrived in the east room, and saw obama again.

Compared with when we met last year, oboma looked obviously much older, and even had some gray hair on his hair.

The job of the president is really not that easy to do.

After greeting Thibodeau and the other team members, Obama turned his attention to Tang Tian.

"Don, don't forget our second round later."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Of course, Tang Tian still lost to Obama in the end.

He also pointed to a little better treatment when he comes to the White House next year.

"You let me again, three out of five games, next year if you let me again, I will be angry." Obama laughed angrily.

"Then we probably have to play five rounds." Tang Tian said with a smile.

...

After returning from Washington, Tang Tian started to prepare for the game against the Pistons in the evening without stopping.

This is the second time the two sides have met each other this season.

The Pistons signed Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva this season, but their record is still dismal. So far, they have 15 wins and 21 losses, and they are heading for the lottery again.

"Tang, there is someone who wants to make an appointment with you." During the training class in the afternoon, physical fitness assistant Jim Kuster approached Tang Tian.

"Who?" Tang Tian asked suspiciously.

Although he is his physical assistant, because they are outside the three-member core team of the coaching staff, the number of exchanges between the two is actually not very much.

"Kwame Brown."

"Who?" Tang Tian thought he had heard wrong.

Kwame Brown? He had never dealt with himself before.

"Kwame Brown, he found me through Richard," Kuster continued.

Tang Tian nodded. Kuster used to be Hamilton's physical trainer, and now Kwame Brown is playing for the Pistons. It's not surprising that he found himself through this relationship.

"Did he say what it was?" Tang Tian asked, he was not a big idler.

"He didn't say it, but he said it was a very important thing." Kuster continued.

Tang Tian hesitated for a moment. Kuster was his teaching assistant, and the latter had to show some face if he asked for him.

"You can make an appointment for a time and place, but the game is going to be played in the evening, so try to get it done in half an hour."

"Okay." Kuster said and went down.

"interesting……"

Tang Tian murmured softly after watching Kuster leave.

Kwame Brown is a well-known parallel import champion in the NBA, the one who said "don't pass the ball to me" to Kobe.

It's really interesting for such a player to find himself.
