The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Players with two-way contracts have no wardrobe in their home team. Signing this contract means that they will play for the Pelicans' subordinate teams most of the time.

After the Pelicans won the championship two years ago, they formed a subordinate team, the Erie Bayhawks, located in Birmingham.

It is worth mentioning that although it is a subordinate team, the Eagles play in the Legacy.Arena which can accommodate 7000 people.

Benson was willing to invest in the team, and after the Pelicans became the championship team, he was even more willing to spend money.

Siakam played for the Hawks last season, helping the team win the championship and winning the Finals MVP.

The development league does not pay much attention, but this is one of the reasons why Siakam can make such great progress in the new season.

Dempsey came with two two-way players, but almost surprised Tang Tian.

Caruso was born in 1994 and is only 23 years old now, but his hair, which must be obviously bald, combined with Raza's beard, looks like 43 years old.

This was probably the only existence whose head went bald without Tang Tian touching it.

But this is obviously not the reason that surprised Tang Tian, ​​after all he still has a little impression of the bald mamba.

What really surprised him was another two-way player.

Dempsey even signed Ding Yan Yuhang!

No, it was Ding Yanyuhang who actually accepted the two-way contract!

Unlike in history, Ding Yanyuhang did not have a closed injection for the finals. He signed a contract with the Mavericks Development League last season and played for a year.

But the Mavericks are a championship team, he has had no chance, and in the end he failed to make the roster.

Unexpectedly, Dempsey signed him this season!

Chapter 57 My house really has a lot of guest rooms (3/5!)

The reason why Demps signed this contract may be simple.

Anyway, there is no second suitable player, and Ding Yanyuhang is a Chinese player, Tang Tian's teammate of the national team.

Whoever signed is not signed, and it only cost 7 US dollars.

Signing Ding Yanyuhang was the same as what Tang Tian knew in his previous life that the Bucks signed Antetokounmpo's brother. It was all to make the team boss happy.

And Ding Yanyuhang's mental attributes are good. This is a player who can get a big contract in China, but gives up the contract to hit the NBA for his dream.

Although his talent is limited, he works hard enough and is the type of player who attracts people.

Moreover, Ding Yanyuhang is considered to be one of the most skilled Asian players, and has the opportunity to grow into a bench player.

After Tang Tian was surprised, his mood was indeed happy.

Ding Yanyuhang played with him in the Rio Olympics before, and Tang Tian had a good impression of him.

And as early as two years ago, FIBA ​​determined that the second World Cup (previously known as the World Championship, renamed in Spain in 2014) will be held in China.

Compared with Rio, the overall strength of the Chinese team has improved significantly in the past two years.

Yi Jianlian played steadily, and now he is still firmly established as the starting power forward in the Nets;

Guo Ailun has become the number one defender in China and even in Asia, and is entering his personal peak;

Zhou Qi joined the Rockets a year earlier than in history, and had occasional outstanding performances last season. In the new season, Cousins ​​was reimbursed, and he also ushered in a good opportunity;

Now Ding Yanyuhang has signed a two-way contract with the Pelicans;

National team players such as Wang Zhelin, Abdul Saramu, Zhai Xiaochuan, and Kelan Baike have also performed well after returning to the CBA after experiencing Rio and have become the core figures of each team;

Coupled with the growth of Tang Tian's personal strength.

In 2019, the Chinese team may have a chance to overthrow the US team again.

Of course, that's all for the future. Now Tang Tian is really happy to see Ding Yan Yuhang.

Seeing Tang Tian's mood, Dempsey felt a burst of joy in his heart.

This flattery is quite straight.

Two two-way players, Caruso looks bald and old, but like Ding Yan Yuhang, both of them have relatively introverted personalities.

But it may also have something to do with them being two-way players. Compared with the rest of the team, they actually don't have much say.

To use a metaphor, it's Bryant's job to buy lunch or donuts for the team, and it's not their turn.

But maybe it is precisely because of this that they train harder than others, which also makes the atmosphere of the training camp even more exciting.

After the first day of training, Tang Tian invited Ding Yan Yuhang to his home for dinner.

Encountering an old friend in a foreign country, and meeting a compatriot abroad is always a feeling of intimacy, let alone being a teammate of the national team.

Ding Yanyuhang also seemed a little cautious when he entered Tang Tian's manor.

This kind of luxurious manor comparable to Jordan is really the first time he has seen in his life.

During the meal, the two of them also had a lot of topics to talk about, from the experience of the Rio Olympics to Ding Yanyuhang's experience in Dallas in the past year.

"Why didn't you stay in Dallas?"

What surprised Tang Tian before, besides Dempsey signing Ding Yan Yuhang, was that he got first-hand information from Woj.

The Mavericks are planning to sign Ding Yanyuhang with a non-guaranteed contract this year.

"You know, the people in Dallas..."

Ding Yan Yuhang didn't finish his sentence, but Tang Tian already knew what he was going to say.

The racial discrimination problem in Dallas was also a very important reason why he did not choose the Mavericks that year.

He thought of the life-skeptical whistle he was blown when the men's basketball team played in the summer league in his previous life. Even if some things didn't show on the surface, they still existed subconsciously.

Let alone that place in Dallas.

After eating and resting for a while, Tang Tian took Ding Yan Yuhang to his arena for training for a while.

With the arena, there is no need to go to the training hall, which is quite convenient for Tang Tian.

Ding Yan Yuhang was quite excited, sweating profusely from the practice without even realizing it.

"It's really convenient, there is an arena at home."

When he came out from practice, Ding Yan Yuhang couldn't help but said enviously.

"If you need it, you can stay with me. I have quite a lot of rooms."

Tang Tian said.

"No need, no need."

Ding Yanyuhang's first reaction was very real, politeness is the habit of Chinese people.

"I have quite a lot of guest rooms."

"If you think there is something to worry about, you can just pay my rent, just like you live in an apartment outside. Of course, the arena is free for you to use."

Tang Tian was not being polite.

There are really a lot of guest rooms in his manor, and the nanny will clean them when he doesn't live in them, so it's a waste to keep them.

The same is true for the arena, which is usually maintained by someone every day.

For a house bought for more than 1 million yuan, these logistics are necessary.

Of course, the most important thing is that he knows that it will be difficult for Ding Yan Yuhang to find a house here, especially when he first arrived.

When Jeremy Lin slept on the sofa with Parsons and Fields, it was not just a meme, but also a status quo of the bottom players in the NBA.

There are too many people who can play in the United States.

"Then I'm welcome."

Ding Yanyuhang was no longer polite.

One thing he has better than other impacting NBA players in the United States is that he has accumulated a lot of money in the CBA before, so he is relatively well-off financially.

So he didn't have to borrow the sofa from Tang Tian to sleep like Jeremy Lin did back then.

"That's right!"

Tang Tian smiled and patted Ding Yan Yuhang on the shoulder.

Ding Yanyuhang lives with him, and they can go to the arena together when they play. It is actually more fun to have multiple partners.

The Pelicans have finalized a two-way contract, but they still have one last spot.

There are several options for this position.

You can keep watching the performance of Caruso and Ding Yanyuhang, if they play well, they can make their contracts regular;

You can also sign a few non-guaranteed contracts and let them play the preseason to see if there will be any unexpected gains;

Of course, it is also possible to start the new season with a 14-man roster without signing anyone, so as to maintain the flexibility of the lineup.

After all, there are trade deadlines and buyout deadlines;

It doesn't matter what you choose, Dempsey still found Tang Tian.

They first have to see if there are any candidates worth signing in the free market.

In fact, at this point in time, the start of the new season is less than a month away, and the start of the preseason is less than half a month away.

Free agents, but anyone with a little strength has been signed.

Even if there are many contracts that cannot be signed, they have already found their next home overseas.

The rest are basically players that no one wants.

There are those veterans who have reached the strength and age but are unwilling to retire, those who have the strength are not enough for the trust of the NBA, there are also many problem players, and there are injured players...

Due to various reasons, basically the new season has no chance with the NBA.

But just after Dempsey gave the list to Tang Tian, ​​after Tang Tian went through it, he accidentally found a very familiar name.

Chapter 58 No one cares about Ross (4/5!)

Derek Rose.

Rose hasn't signed yet!

Similar to Wade's situation, Rose was also rumored to be bought out at the trade deadline last season.

And like Wade, the buyout was limited to rumors in the end, and he finally fulfilled the last year of his contract with the Wizards.

It's just that unlike Wade, after Rose became a free agent, he hasn't signed yet.

Tang Tian was quite surprised by this.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Rose's strength has declined sharply due to injury, his strength is still at the NBA rotation level.

He also played against Rose in the Drew League this year, which can be confirmed.

And to take a step back, don't look at strength to look at popularity, signing to sell tickets is also good!

But obviously, the attitude of the alliance is generally very cold towards this kind of balloon star.

Specifically refer to Iverson and McGrady at the beginning, two of the four major shooting guards were displaced at the end of their careers.

Not to mention Rose, who has been tested continuously by the Knicks and Wizards and has no oil.

"No one wants a basic salary?"

Tang Tian still couldn't help asking.

In his impression, although Rose's performance after the injury declined greatly, his NBA career continued, and later he had a second career in the Timberwolves.

Under Thibodeau, he even scored 50 points in a single game in Minnesota, breaking his career scoring record.

And it’s only 2017 now.

"Yes, both Cleveland and Chicago are willing to sign him, and both offer him a basic salary, but he is hesitating."
