The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Owen made this decision, and Tang Tian was the first person who wanted to discuss it.

Tang Tian was not too surprised at first, after all, Irving also applied for a trade this season in his memory.

Not to mention that the Cavaliers have not won a championship yet, which is worse than in memory, and it is not surprising that Irving wants to leave.

But what Owen said later made him a little confused.

"I want to come to New Orleans."

Chapter 29 Owen doesn’t want to play with James

George wants to come to the Pelicans, and Irving also wants to come? !

Originally, New Orleans, which even the stars didn't want to come to, has now become the sweet pastry that the stars are chasing!

But this is also a reasonable thing. The Pelicans have already won two consecutive championships, and with Tang Tian, ​​the "active Jordan", they will have a chance to win three consecutive championships.

This kind of instant exposure to the spotlight is something that everyone wants to fight for.

And one advantage Owen has over George is that he is a member of the Hard Training Brothers!

Together every summer, the possibility of integrating into the Pelicans is much higher than George.

Tang Tian kept silent.

If Irving comes, it's really about playing brother basketball.

"I'm coming to New Orleans, before evening."

Owen heard that Tang Tian didn't respond, and then spoke again.

"it is good."

Tang Tian agreed, it's better to talk about this kind of thing face to face.

His attitude is the same as that of George and even Westbrook before him. He is not much interested in group basketball.

And Owen's situation is even more special.

Owen arrived as soon as he said it, and arrived at Tang Tian's manor before the meal, just in time for dinner.

The two chatted while eating.

"What's your reason for wanting to leave the Cavaliers?"

Tang Tian did not express his opinion in a hurry, but asked Owen first.

"I don't like playing around LeBron."

Owen hesitated for a while, and finally spoke.

"You don't know the fans in Cleveland, you don't know how they judged me after this year's finals!"

Owen became angry as he spoke.

"They said that I was a defensive black hole, that I was invisible at critical moments, that there was a difference between me and Davis, that I was not worthy of my name, and that I was more suitable for exhibition games. They...they only said these things, but I got it in G5. 30 points and they turned a blind eye."

"I know no one can be 100% satisfied, but I don't know why they can be anything but happy with me."

"The wins are all due to LeBron, and the losses are all due to me, Kevin, and Hassan. Have you ever seen such a team?"

Owen's next series of words were quite aggrieved.

It can be seen that he really doesn't want to play with James anymore.

Before Owen came, Tang Tian thought of some words to appease him, but after hearing what Owen said, he put those words aside first.

There are many things that cannot be understood without being in them.

Perhaps this is also the situation that Bosh, Love, and even Wade need to go through.

It's just that Irving's personality is more radical than theirs. After all, he is also the No. [-] pick, and he was considered the chosen one when he entered the league.

"You should have experienced the pressure of being the core of the team, and you also know how difficult it is."

Tang Tian thought for a while and said.

Before James returned to Cleveland, Irving's performance in leading the Cavaliers alone was not good, and he was at the bottom of the Eastern Conference for consecutive years.

And he knows that Irving's life after leaving the Cavaliers in his previous life was not as good as the Cavaliers, and he suffered much more doubts than he did when he was in the Cavaliers.

There is no medicine for regret in this world. After all, Owen is his hard-working brother. Tang Tian can save him or wants to save him.

"I don't want to be the boss of the team, I just want to leave Cleveland and leave LeBron."

Owen then said firmly.

Tang Tian and him looked at each other, knowing that he had made up his mind.

"You said you wanted to come to New Orleans?"

Tang Tian didn't persuade him to stay, but continued to ask.

"Here you are."

Owen's answer was fairly straightforward.

"I don't recommend you to do this. Let's not talk about whether it can be successful. Even if it is successful, the pressure you have to bear is not something you can bear."

Tang Tian continued.

George has been almost overwhelmed by the fans' saliva because he designated his next home, and there is also a lesson from Durant.

Speaking of which, Irving is also a member of the Cavaliers, who was defeated by the Pelicans.

If this is really called out and you want to come to the Pelicans, it will be the combination of George + Durant, and the designated next home + surrender to the enemy during the contract period.

Not to mention that Irving has at least two years left on his contract, longer than George's.

After listening to what Tang Tian said, Owen was silent for a long time.

He just wanted to simply leave the Cavaliers and James and go to a team he wanted to go to, which he never considered.

But Tang Tian said, he found that this was indeed inappropriate.

"Then I'll go to Boston! Danny Ainge contacted me a long time ago, they are rebuilding, and the potential is good."

Owen continued.

Angie, an old fox, had already hooked up with Owen.

"what do you think?"

Owen saw that Tang Tian didn't make a statement, so he opened his mouth to ask.

He's really young, and he still looks the same as when he came into the league, like a brash kid.

"I don't recommend you go there."

"why?"

"Your style of play doesn't suit that team, and the fans there are too demanding, Boston tradition."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

He won't say that I know it won't be easy for you to go.

But there's nothing wrong with what he said. Iron blood is the label of the Celtics, and this label really doesn't match Irving.

As for the fans, the fans in Boston are all arrogant, and they may not be lighter than those in Cleveland.

"Do you have a suggestion?"

Owen finally looked at Tang Tian for help.

Tang Tian's stability is not only known to the Pelicans management, but also to their hard-working brothers.

"New York, or Los Angeles, the Nets, or the Lakers, or the Clippers."

Tang Tian thought for a while and said.

Irving's biggest feature is his gorgeous style of play. A gorgeous style of play does not necessarily require a record, and fans are enough.

If we really want to talk about achievements, Iverson did not have a championship at the time, but his reputation is greater than most of the superstars of the same period. The reason is the style of play.

After all, basketball is played for people to watch. It is great to win, but not many people would like to watch the Pistons play like the Pistons.

On the contrary, Irving's flamboyant dribbling is liked by many people.

So Metropolis is Irving's best bet.

"I understand."

After hearing what Tang Tian said, Owen suddenly became enlightened.

"Actually, I still suggest you stay in Cleveland until the end of the contract."

In the end, Tang Tian still gave a suggestion.

The Cavaliers have James. Although they are often the runner-up, there is not much suspense in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Being able to enter the finals is actually exposure, and Irving's contract is only 2 years, and leaving at that time will not have any negative impact.

"No, I've decided that I'm not going to stay there any longer."

But Owen is firm on this point.

It seems that he really doesn't like playing next to James.

Tang Tian didn't say anything after hearing this. Although he could give suggestions, not every suggestion would be accepted.

Chapter One Thousand and Thirty Butler Did It Too

Irving returned to Cleveland that night after dinner.

He will not announce tomorrow that he will leave the Cavaliers, but he has made up his mind, and he needs to do a lot of preparations.

At 2 pm the next day, the door to the NBA free market officially opened.
