The Godfather of Basketball

Hathaway's son is fat and weighs a full pound more than Swift's daughter. It seems that he will be a big guy when he grows up.

In the first month after giving birth, Tang Tian stayed with his two wives all the time, ensuring that they were happy every day, so that they could avoid postpartum depression.

Fortunately, it happened to be the rough period at this time, and the team didn't need him to worry about anything.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's already mid-August. Tang Tian returned to China to follow up on the basketball school, held a new basketball training camp, and then returned to the United States.

He got the news from Kidd that the team's training camp for the new season has started ahead of schedule.

It was initiated by Deron Williams, and basically all the newcomers to the team came.

The three rookies Jokic, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Tyler Johnson and Simmons all arrived at the first time, and then Bojan Bogdanovic, Antoine Moore, Will Barton, Jordan Crawford, Mike Scott also joined in one after another.

Kidd hasn't come to the arena yet. It was led by the former head coach of the Nets and now the assistant coach of the team, Lawrence Frank.

Tang Tian is now the team's owner, President Jian, but he hasn't been the head coach for more than a year, and he was itchy, and he arrived at the arena not long after the training camp started.

The training hall is held in the auxiliary hall of the Barkley Center. Frank is usually in charge of the team's defense, and the focus of training is also defense.

The arrival of Tang Tian gave these young players a lot of motivation. Their performance on the field gave people a feeling of vitality, which was different from the old-fashioned team in the past.

Speaking of which, Tang Tian also planned to talk to Kidd about the team's rotation and tactical system for the new season.

He watched the Nets' games last season. After the team has too many veterans, the team's offensive rhythm is very slow, and there are too many singles in positional battles, which is very unfavorable.

The training on the field was still going on, Tang Tian called Frank aside, and then chatted with him about the team's defense.

In addition to the offensive problem, the Nets also have a big problem on the defensive end. They always like to double-team the ball holder like the Heat, but they can't do a good job in the follow-up defense rotation. When they encounter a team that moves the ball quickly, There are often cases of missing people sending points.

"It's not my strategy, it's Jason's." After hearing Tang Tian finish speaking, Frank said helplessly.

Tang Tian looked at Frank in surprise.

It seems that Kidd, like him, is the kind of coach who likes to grasp with one hand.

Speaking of which, Frank was Kidd's mentor before, but now he has become a simple handyman.

It seems that we can only wait for Kidd to come and chat with him.

After chatting for a while, Tang Tian noticed that Deron Williams went down to the sidelines early to pedal his bicycle.

"It's not easy for Deron. He has been struggling with synovitis, which is a difficult disease to recover from." Frank said with emotion.

"Synovitis?" Tang Tian was an apprentice at a Chinese medicine center before, and he had heard of this disease before. It was a disease similar to McGrady's back injury, and it was difficult to recover completely. It is easy to relapse.

"Yes, left ankle synovitis. According to Joe, it happened in 11 years. After that, it happened again and again. It was the most painful time in 12 years. At that time, he played closed games. At the end of the game, his own adjective was , going up the stairs is like suicide."

What Frank said was very vivid, and Tang Tian was also worried when he heard it.

Blocking is the last move for players to play. In fact, it is to isolate the pain. After the effect of that thing is gone, regardless of the pain level, it will aggravate the injury, and even endanger the entire career in serious cases.

And Deron's left ankle is synovitis, which is fatal to a defender who relies heavily on crossover.

It's no wonder that Deron in his previous life played worse and worse after he came to the Nets, so that the point guard who was called the double hero with Paul at the beginning would fade out of the league early.

Fans see the results more, but few people explore the process and what really happened.

This is the cruelty of the NBA. Competition will always exist. Those who have played in the league for more than ten or twenty years are all old monsters without exception.

Deron is still pedaling a bicycle, which is one of the main ways for players to maintain intensity during recovery from injury.

Looking at Delong's sweat-drenched back, Tang Tian suddenly remembered something.

The cheating system hasn't released a mission for a long time, and the reward for the last mission given is a so-called female servant, who is terrible.

But it was precisely because of this pitfall that he almost forgot that he still had 2 honor points, which hadn't been useless in the past few years.

Deron is the second-highest salary of the Nets, but the longest contract, and as a core point guard, his importance is much higher than others.

In the case that the trade cannot be made, letting him restore his strength and state is the only option.

At this time, the two ancestral honor points become very critical.

Thinking of this, Tang Tian greeted Frank, then walked towards Delong.

The two have played against each other on the court before. When he led the Rockets, he swept the Jazz under Deron. However, between the boss and the players, this is the first time the two have met each other.

"Coach? Oh no, Mr. Tang." Seeing Tang Tian approaching him and getting off his bicycle, Delong didn't change his address.

"It's okay, it's just a title, Delong, long time no see." Tang Tian greeted Delong with a smile.

At this time, the feeling between the two is very subtle. The NBA says it's big or not, and those so-called feuds are sometimes almost as if they don't exist.

"I heard that you organized this training camp?" Tang Tian asked.

"Well, the offseason is too long for me, and I need to let my ankle get used to this intensity in advance." Deron said, looking at his ankle unconsciously, with a cautious look in his eyes.

Apparently, suffering from synovitis all the time, he seemed wary.

Speaking of his previous life, Deron's mentality was out of balance in his later stages of playing, which had a lot to do with synovitis.

It’s like a person suffering from AIDS. With drugs, he may not be able to die for a while, but that kind of disease where the immune system is out of control, and any small illness may kill him. It’s really like purgatory.

Over time, people will always break down.

"It will be fine, trust me." Tang Tian said suddenly.

Delong looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"I said your ankle will get better. This kind of disease will always get better." Tang Tian didn't bring up any traditional Chinese medicine or traditional Chinese medicine as before. He only needed Delong to try to believe this thing.
