The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Tang Tian didn't participate in it. He only gave Feigen a bottom line price of 500 million, which was the part he still lacked in krypton gold.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they can't reach an agreement, Pepsi is still eyeing over there.

To put it bluntly, Tang Tian is now a cornucopia, and everyone wants to dig into it so as to get a piece of it.

However, Tang Tian, ​​the cornucopia, did not participate too much, and his current energy is still focused on the competition.

The next game against the Pelicans is the Spurs.

Leonard's injury was more serious than expected. He has not played since the beginning of the season, and the Spurs fell out of the first echelon.

With a record of 4 wins and 3 losses, it only ranks eighth in the highly competitive West.

However, the Spurs are opponents that cannot be underestimated. Stevens was very focused in the training session. After the training, Nash also practiced the team's shooting.

After all the training was over, the players went back to the locker room to rest one after another.

Tang Tian came out of the shower and saw that Butler hadn't gone in to take a shower yet, and was watching the game video with his tablet in his arms.

He walked over with some doubts.

Although the Spurs can't take it lightly, Butler's serious attitude is a bit too abnormal.

But when he walked over, he realized that Butler was not watching the Spurs video, but the Mavericks.

In the just-concluded game, the Mavericks defeated the four-star Warriors 103 to 101, and also ushered in a 7-game winning streak since the start of the game.

"Dallas will be our biggest opponent."

Walker also came out of the shower at this time. Seeing that the two were watching, he leaned over and took a look and said.

Tang Tian nodded.

Looking back at Butler's deal now, it's actually a win-win for the Pelicans and the Mavericks.

Defeating the Warriors shows that the current strength of the Mavericks should be second only to the Pelicans and Cavaliers.

"But Jimmy, you don't have to watch every Mavericks game. Our game against them is still early, and there are still more than half a month."

Walker continued.

Tang Tian paused.

What Walker means is that Butler watched every game of the Mavericks?

But he reacted quickly, and it didn't seem to be an accident.

Butler is actually unhappy with Carlisle and the Mavericks. He took a defense for a while, and the Mavericks still want to trade him.

No matter from which point of view, this is unreasonable.

So he will definitely want to beat the Mavericks, and even bloody Mavericks to prove his worth.

"When is the game against Dallas?"

Tang Tian asked Walker.

"November 11, coincidentally, that day happens to be Thanksgiving."

Tang Tian nodded after listening.

Thanksgiving, playing the old master, this game is very interesting.

He suddenly understood Butler a little bit.

This kind of game is the kind that can never be lost.

He suddenly laughed again, and reached out to pat Butler on the shoulder.

"We're going to win, and by a lot of points."

At that time, his krypton gold was worth 5000 million yuan, and he exchanged for the ball-handling skills he wanted, so no one would be able to stop him.

And in that kind of competition, it is definitely the same as in Fighting the Landlord, it is super double cool.

Butler looked up at Tang Tian, ​​then nodded.

Understand, or brothers understand.

The next night, the Pelicans sit at home for a game against the Spurs, their first game of November.

Leonard did not come to New Orleans with the team, and there was not much suspense about the process and result of the game.

In the face of the absolute strength gap, even Popovich is powerless to stop.

The Spurs and Pelicans stalemate for a quarter and a half, and then the game turned into a unilateral performance by the Pelicans.

Popovich sat silent on the bench throughout the second half, probably the weakest game he has coached in more than 20 years.

Without Leonard, the Spurs are like scorpions with their poisonous needles cut, poisonous snakes with their fangs pulled out, and they can only be slaughtered.

After the game, Popovich found Tang Tian for coffee and chatted about Leonard.

Chapter 79 Jordan's Stubbornness

"The last time you said Kawhi's injury was going to be worse than expected? Did he communicate with you?"

Popovich should have encountered an injury entanglement with Leonard as in history.

At the beginning, Tang Tian reminded him that Popovich probably felt that Leonard had communicated with Tang Tian.

"No, I just watched the video, what's wrong?"

Tang Tian asked tentatively.

"Well... now I can't contact him, he doesn't believe in the team now, I honestly don't know about his injury now, and he ran to New York by himself."

When Popovich said this, he looked at Tang Tian.

The meaning of this is relatively clear. He knows the relationship between Tang Tian and Leonard, and he wants Tang Tian to help.

"Old man, I have an opinion on this matter. I don't know if you want to hear it."

Be a man and do it to the end, and send the Buddha to the West.

Since he had spoken to Popovich at the beginning, he also started and ended this matter well.

Popovich nodded, beckoning him to say.

"Kawhi's personality is different from Tim's, he's not that nice baby, even though he looks like he is."

Popovich was very surprised when he heard this sentence, obviously he felt that what Tang Tian said was wrong.

But he didn't say anything. There may be two people in front of the same player, coach and teammates.

Tang Tian said so, the reality is likely to be like that.

"He's had his father killed, so he's going to be sensitive, and he's going to have his own thoughts.

So in my opinion, if he trusts the doctors in New York more, let him go see them, and he will come back naturally after watching them. "

"Then he can't lose touch with the team!"

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Popovich said angrily.

He has coached the Spurs for more than 20 years, and it should be the first time he has been treated like this.

"I think Paul George made a bad start, and there's no guarantee that Kawhi won't do that if it's pushed."

"He dares!"

As soon as Tang Tian finished speaking, Popovich was so angry that he slapped the table.

This violent temper is exactly the same as when he coached Tang Tian.

But after the filming was over, he realized that Tang Tian was no longer the Tang Tian of the Spurs period, and gradually withdrew his angry expression.

"Sir, not everyone is Admiral Robinson, nor is it Tim, or Manu, or Tony.

Kawhi is not a good baby, but he is not a devil either.

I think giving him certain superstar rights and making him feel respected will be a good thing for the future development of the Spurs if he turns around and is loyal to the team. "

Tang Tian finally spoke.

If he hadn't played for the Spurs and played under Popovich for two years, he would definitely not have said these words.

But he worked, and now one is his mentor and the other is his younger brother. He doesn't want them to go to the extremes in history.

When he traveled through time, some things changed, and some things didn't. He hoped that this was the one that changed.

Popovich stared blankly at Tang Tian for a while, then nodded.

Others said he didn't believe it, but Tang Tian said that he was willing to believe it.

Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

No one knows what will happen to Popovich and Leonard in the future, but at least they are moving in a good direction.

The next game against the Pelicans is the Hornets.

Butler is preoccupied with the game against his former owner, the Mavericks, which hasn't started yet, but it's not his turn yet, it's Walker's turn first.

After the Hornets released Walker and traded Lamb, Jordan showed his vision and used a future first round to trade Terry Rozier from the Celtics.

This deal has been complained by many fans. After all, the Hornets have been a bad team for thousands of years and Walker is gone. The first round pick is very valuable.

But Jordan rejected all opinions and felt that Rozier was the chosen one.

The Hornets have 7 wins and 0 losses in the past 7 games, ranking bottom in the league.

But Rozier played well, averaging 20.1 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, making him the team's top scorer.

"He didn't have a chance at all in Boston the last two years, and it turns out all the guy lacked was an opportunity."

"He's a natural scorer, he's always attacking the rim, he can spot guys who are open, he's versatile."

"He has a chance to be Charlotte's new ace, and I believe in that."

……

This kind of performance made Jordan feel particularly proud. He has praised Rozier's performance in public more than once.

Obviously, this is Jordan's stubbornness.

Letting Walker go made him ridiculed infinitely by the fans. Everyone thought he had bad vision, so he just wanted to prove that he had the ability to discern the pearl.

Other people laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others can't see through!

The 20+5+5 defender was only discovered by him when he washed the sand!

The day before the game, the entire Pelicans team arrived in Charlottetown to prepare for the game against the Hornets.

The opponent is relatively weak, and the Pelicans did not arrange training after arriving.

And this time, Davis did not go to Charlotte with the team because of hip discomfort.

The Hornets conducted daily training.

For the two-hour training, the first half hour is closed, and the last half hour is open to the outside world.

The open part of the knowledge is simple shooting training, but the reporter found Jordan at the training scene.

He gave Rozier careful shooting guidance training on the sidelines.

It can be seen that the basketball god is very fond of this 1 meter short man.

The reporter also quickly found Jordan for an interview.

Jordan has rarely been interviewed by reporters since he became the owner, but this time he made an exception.

"What do you think of tonight's game, this is the first time Kemba Walker has returned to Charlotte to play after leaving the team."

"We all know that the strength gap between the two sides is relatively large tonight. Has the coaching staff talked about how to win?"

"Rozier will face Kemba Walker tonight. What do you expect from him?"

……

When a reporter asks a question, it doesn't matter who you are, the angle of the question is tricky, and you are not polite.

"I prefer your question."
