The toughest man in the NBA

Chapter 46 Be Your Best Self
After the game, Tu Man was left in the office.

Both Gentry and Su Mait sat behind their desks, stern and silent, with a posture of "You kid doesn't listen well in class, go and call your parents."

Tu Man looked at the two of them, but didn't speak.

He pulled a chair over by himself, sat down, raised Erlang's legs, and swayed his legs, smiling at the poker faces of the two sloths.

Gentry couldn't hold back anymore, he laughed and said:
"You bastard!"

Tu Man chuckled, scratched the back of his head, but didn't speak.

Su Maite said with a straight face:

"You're too daring, you're not good at playing games, what skills are you stealing? It means that Alvin has a good temper. If you meet a coach with a temper like Larry or Greg, you will have to guard the drinking fountains for the rest of the game." Already!"

With a shy face, Tu Man said with a smile:
"Isn't this covered by your two wise and mighty coaches? If I were with Greg, I would have to be like a quail. How miserable it would be!"

Gentry laughed:
"Stop sycophanting! You are not allowed to err on the sidelines during the game. What do you want to learn? After the game, watch the video yourself! What can you learn by taking pictures of cats and tigers on the court?"

Tu Man nodded again and again:

"Yes, yes, the coach is right!"

Gentry glared at him and said:

"Don't worry, you need to develop your body slowly and learn your skills slowly. The coaching staff will formulate a scientific training plan for you according to your growth level. No one can reach the peak in the first season. Stronger than Michael Jordan also had to train for seven full years before he became incomprehensible and won the first championship of his career!"

Su Maite said on the side:
"Debut is the pinnacle. It is both an honor and a curse. It means that this player will go downhill from now on. This is not the way you want to go. Tu Man, the most important thing for you now is not to make up for your shortcomings and follow others Go. Instead, carry forward your advantages, practice what you know until you are proficient, and be the best version of yourself in the future, not another person..."

These words were deafening, and completely overturned the "Bright Way" that Tu Man himself "realized" after being bullied by Popovich!
Tu Man was silent for a long time, and two idioms popped up in his mind, "HD toddler" and "Dongshi imitation", almost went astray!
This basketball is really not played by one person...

He stood up and bowed deeply.

"Coach, thank you. Maybe I know what to do..."

He raised his head, his eyes flickering.

Back home, the atmosphere is not harmonious.

Sister Tao folded her arms, with a grape in her mouth, and said sourly:
"Hey, the big star is back from chasing girls?"

Tu Man shrank his neck, avoiding the murderous look in Sister Tao's eyes, walked behind her, stretched out his hands skillfully, and pinched her shoulders.

Sister Tao snorted, closed her eyes, raised her head and said:

"Your kid will disappear again, believe it or not..."

Tu Man hurriedly said:
"I believe, I believe!"

Sister Tao scolded:

"Fart! I haven't said anything yet, you believe me!"

Tu Man nodded and bowed:

"Yes, yes, I believe in a ghost!"

Sister Tao let out a "puchi" laugh, patted Tu Man, and said angrily:

"Stupid, be as virtuous as Lao Tu!"

Old Tu made a serious face, and said angrily:

"Nonsense, I'm not..."

Sister Tao snorted, Lao Tu quickly stopped, and stuffed the peeled grapes into her red lips.

Sister Tao sat up, pointed to a stack of documents on the table and said:

"Big star, come and see your sneaker endorsement!"

Tu Man didn't move, and said lazily:
"Don't watch, it's nerve-wracking. Just do what you see. As the saying goes, even if capitalism is as evil as a ghost, you still have to drink Sister Tao's footwashing water!"

Sister Tao slapped Tu Man on the back of his hand:
"Stop talking nonsense, come over and watch!"

Tu Man walked over with a sad face, grabbed the stack of papers, nestled into the opposite sofa, and hurriedly flipped through them, Reebok, Puma, Under Armour, Li Ning, Nike, Adidas...

Almost all the sneaker brands that Tu Man is familiar with are here.

Sister Tao knows that Tuman is impatient to read carefully, and probably only looks at Arabic numerals. The contract is arranged according to the price level, and the most sincere one is Adidas:
$8000 million over ten years.

这已经很不错了，只比杜兰特的7年6000万和詹姆斯的7年9000万低，今年的状元约翰·沃尔也不过是5年2500万而已。

Now well-known sneaker manufacturers have superstars under their banners, and they don’t lack exposure and have a lot of confidence. Therefore, the contracts for rookies are either very long or low in price.

Like Griffin, he only signed 40 a year last year. Sneaker dealers don’t seem to like insiders very much. Howard has already won the Slam Dunk King, which is not very attractive...

Tu Man threw the contract on the table and said cautiously:

"Sister Tao, can you not sign?"

Sister Tao rolled his eyes at him, grabbed the contract and threw it into the trash can.

"Of course not, we are not short of money!"

Tu Man breathed a sigh of relief, only to hear Sister Tao say again:
"You kid, give me a good fight, hurry up and get an MVP, championship, All-Star, etc. When the time comes, I'll see what these profiteers have to say!"

Old Tu laughed loudly:

"How can it be so easy, you are playing games? I think it will be great if our son can win the best rookie this season!"

Sister Tao frowned and said:
"Then what should I do? I've already refused, and I'm still waiting for these guys to break through the threshold of our house and come begging me..."

Tu Man walked over, put his arm around Sister Tao's shoulders, and said proudly:
"Don't worry, Sister Tao. There will be All-Stars, MVPs, and championships. It's hard to say anything else this season. The best rookie, the rebounding leader and the shot-blocking leader will never run away. Just wait and see. !"

On November 11, Tuman flew to Miami Beach with the team.

With LeBron James' famous "decision," the Miami Heat transformed themselves into the Big Three and became the hottest title contender in the league.

The three old boys who are different from the Celtics come together to realize their dreams, full of the tragedy of the hero's twilight.

The Heat are three superstars who are playing together to keep warm. This is a precedent in NBA history, especially considering that James and Wade are both MVP-level players, and they were directly ridiculed by the crowd.

However, ESPN and other well-known media are happy to hear and sing praises for the Heat, as if they have locked the O'Brien Cup a year in advance.

But now, their running-in has gone wrong.

After the start of the season, the Heat were quickly hit with a sap. They were beaten by the Celtics in the opening game. They fell behind and had no way to fight back.

So far, the record is 4 wins and 2 losses, not as good as the Suns.

The Heat just harvested the second Sap the day before yesterday, from Paul's Hornets.

Unlike the Celtics, the Hornets are not a championship-level team. For the Big Three, this kind of failure is unacceptable. They must win a big victory as soon as possible to stop the media's lingering mouth... …

The sun is coming, just in time!
