The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"..."

After James won the championship last year, his fans have become much more high-profile than ever.

Curry had been sprayed by them before, but now that Tang Tianchao surpassed James, their emotions became infinitely high again.

This is exactly the same as the original 60 billion Kemi.

Tang Tian was speechless when he saw these comments.

He hoped that Xiao Hua really favored the Pelicans as they said, but in fact what Xiao Hua did this season was just to let go of his previous prejudice.

As for the right to challenge, there was no news after trying for so long in the Development League, it was just a verbal response.

Should the "referee report" be different or come out?

And Tang Tian doesn't have the heart to take care of these things now, he is preparing to be a father now, and besides training, he spends the rest of his time taking care of Olsen.

Soon after pregnancy, there will be early pregnancy symptoms, nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, frequent urination and backache, these are all inevitable physiological phenomena.

These cares also distracted Tang Tian, ​​and the competition between Whiteside and Jokic did not develop in a benign direction.

The Pelicans' record has fluctuated this week, with 4 wins and 2 losses in 2 games.

And their next game is against the Cavaliers at home, and this state is likely to cause them to suffer a wave of losing streak.

"Honey, I'm fine now. If you're really worried, you can find a nanny. You should focus on your game. This is your season."

Olsen would usually watch Tang Tian's games, and she knew that Tang Tian was distracted.

Tang Tian nodded.

Being a father for the first time, he is indeed a little too sensitive.

It was the time when he should really take care of her in the months before she was about to give birth.

One good thing is that the child conceived in February will not be born until November and December, and he will have more time in summer.

After listening to Olsen's suggestion, Tang Tian asked Carl to find a reliable nanny the next day, and then focused on the competition.

Olsen was right, this is his season, and he has to give it his all.

There are still 2 days before the game against the Cavaliers. At this time, the league ushered in another important time node of the season.

March 3, the league's buyout deadline.

There are still many attractive players in this year's buyout market.

The Knicks and Stoudemire reached a buyout contract.

The Knicks have a good record this season, but Stoudemire's performance is very bad.

He has fallen out of the team's rotation this season. Before playing for the Pelicans, he only got 15 minutes of playing time because Jason Smith was injured and absent.

But after the whole game, he made 4 of 1 shots, only 2 points and 2 rebounds were accounted for, and one was bloody by Davis.

He still has a contract of 2000 million in the last year. Instead of sitting on the bench in the Knicks, it is better to change the environment.

And for the Knicks, the buyout can also help them save some expenses.

Ismail Smith took the initiative to ask the Thunder to buy him out. He rarely played in the team, and this kind of buyout is also a gamble.

Prior to this, McGee, who had fallen out of the rotation, was traded to the 76ers by the Nuggets.

The 76ers got McGee on the one hand to fill the poor line, and on the other hand to get draft picks.

After McGee gave up part of the salary in the remaining 2 years of the 2000 million contract, the two sides also reached a buyout agreement.

……

These players all have a certain market.

Tang Tian hired a nanny to focus on the team, and Dempsey found him again.

Naturally, it was to discuss with Tang Tian about buying out the player market.

"We have decided to buy out Reggie's contract, who is more suitable on the list in the buyout market?"

Evans was a firefighter for the Pelicans last season and performed well.

But after Jokic joined this season, he rarely has the chance to play, and coupled with the team's previous trade to Biyombo, he has even less chance.

In this case, buying out before the deadline is also for the sake of Evans, so that the latter can join a new team and have the opportunity to fight for a new contract.

"My preference is Jason Richardson, he can bring experience to the team, and our wings can also further strengthen the depth."

Dempsey spoke his mind.

Richardson is the former slam dunk king, excellent three-pointers, and his career shooting percentage reached 37.5%. He is the kind of player who is very suitable for the Pelicans.

Tang Tian shook his head.

Richardson didn't play for a season last season due to injury, and his status is really unknown.

And the Pelicans don't need a veteran now.

Veterans were needed last season because the team's young players hadn't grown up yet and needed veterans to lead them.

But this season the Pelicans have now reached second place in the Western Conference, and Davis has matured.

It is enough to have Ci Shiping as the boss of the locker room.

"Choose him."

Tang Tian pointed to JaVale McGee's name and said.

"Him? This guy... has more brains than Hassan..."

Dempsey got a headache when he said this.

Since O'Neal's five big embarrassments came out, McGee has become the "absolute top card", which is almost guaranteed.

This also makes McGee a player that makes the general managers of the teams daunting.

Just like Beasley, he obviously has outstanding talent, and his strength is completely at the rotation or even starting level in the NBA, but few teams want it.

Especially the Pelicans' record this season.

Bringing back a locker room bomb like this is asking for trouble.

"He's fine, don't be deceived by those outside voices."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Beasley was a real thorn, but McGee was different.

He just short-circuits his brain sometimes on the court, and it's not really a problem player.

It was O'Neill's five big embarrassments that magnified him. In fact, he himself is not that big of a problem.

Of course, the most important thing is that McGee is known as the number one center below the head, with outstanding physical fitness.

Compared with those other players, he is still very young. If he has the opportunity to perform, the Pelicans can continue to use him in the future.

Rather than saying that like Evans before, because of his age, he ended up only being a firefighter.

Chapter 652 Like a duck to water James (third update!)

"One more thing, we need something to stimulate Hassan and let him get his focus back on the court."

Tang Tian went on to add something.

Jokic has a shy personality and has no problem playing as a substitute, but Whiteside has some problems with his attitude because of potential competition.

At this time, sign another player with a similar style and come back, you can beat him.

Dempsey nodded after listening to what Tang Tian said.

The Pelicans' lineup is actually relatively complete, and signing players is just more insurance.

Therefore, whoever signs the contract will not have that much influence. Tang Tian's analysis is still very convincing.

After talking with Tang Tian, ​​Dempsey went to contact McGee's agent.

But the result was not as smooth as expected.

McGee and the 76ers bought out, not just for the playoffs, but also for playing time.

After all, if he sits on the bench for a season, he may not have a contract next summer.

The Pelicans have two solid rotations of Whiteside and Jokic, and with Biyombo in front, it is difficult for him to get a chance to play.

This is also a reasonable thing.

The suggestion was given by Tang Tian, ​​but whether it will work or not is not up to him.

The contact between the Pelicans and McGee continues. Demps knows that McGee has a particularly bad impression on the general managers of other teams in the league, so he can wait and see.

The two days passed quickly, and the players who were bought out in the past two days all signed with other teams one after another.

Stoudemire went to the Cavaliers, Ish Smith to the Mavericks, Jason Richardson to the Suns...

McGee is in a state where rumors broke out with the Pelicans, but no one cares about it.

Because of the five great embarrassments, he does have a feeling of being scary right now.

McGee's matter has not yet been finalized. The 14-man roster of the Pelicans ushered in a challenge with the Cavaliers at home.

This game is highly anticipated.

The two teams ranked second in the East and the West, a strong duel; the grievances and entanglements between James and Tang Tian; the fans' debate on the MVP rankings on social media; the live broadcast of the game across the United States, etc.

All of these make this game a lot of attention.

TNT also sent their Big Three to the scene for commentary.

"Guys, do you guys think the Pelicans can get their revenge at home? Can Don prove he deserves to be ahead of LeBron in the MVP rankings?"

Before the game started, Barkley opened his mouth wide in the commentary and started to warm up.

"of course can!"

O'Neill is now a hardcore Tang Chuan, and he slapped the table immediately and said.

Barkley glanced at O'Neill and laughed, he couldn't stand his partner now.

Smith shook his head again and again.

"The recent situation of the Pelicans is not good. Don doesn't seem to be so focused. The competition between Whiteside and Jokic seems to be developing in a bad direction."

Smith is more professional.

"Yeah, Shaq, you gotta use your head."

Barkley grinned in agreement.

He still admires Tang Tian, ​​but he prefers to confront O'Neill.

"No, no need."

O'Neill smiled and spread his hands, that expression was really brainless, which made Smith and Barkley yelled that they couldn't stand it.

While the three were chatting in the commentary booth, players from both sides came out of the player channel one after another.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of both sides were released one after another.

Both sides played with full force in this game.

The starting lineup for the Pelicans here is Holiday plus Tang Tian on the outside, Ariza plus Davis on the striker, and Whiteside on the center.

On the Cavaliers' side, Owen Gardion Waiters on the outside, James Garreford on the striker, and Mozgov on the center.

After the opening ceremony, Tang Tian and Owen greeted each other in the midfield.

The Pelicans and Cavaliers are potential opponents in the finals, and the grievances between Tang Tian and James may also be staged again after the Spurs career.

But Tang Tian and Owen are hard-working brothers, and their relationship has not been affected by these.

The two were talking and laughing, and James, who was sitting on the sidelines, frowned.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the game started immediately.

Whiteside jumped over Mozgov to give the Pelicans the lead.
