Chapter 1060: It’s Never Too Late for a Gentleman to Take Revenge (First Update!)

Back in New Orleans, while Tang Tian was spending time with his two sons, he also continued his plan to prepare for a second child.

Since Kobe Bryant recently announced that he was pregnant with his fourth daughter, Tang Tian has also begun to take pregnancy preparations seriously.

Olson was usually told to pay attention to eating acidic foods such as beef, chicken, oranges, grapes, and loaches, and to stop preparing for pregnancy three days after ovulation, as well as other indescribable parts that can be searched on Baidu.

On this day while he was picking grapes, an unexpected guest came to the manor, Popovich.

Knowing that Tang Tian was preparing for pregnancy at home recently, Popovich came over with a basket of fresh Texas beef.

"A cousin of mine has a cattle ranch in the countryside. It's absolutely original."

The old man is quite particular.

Tang Tian invited Popovich to the living room, asked the servant to take the beef and freeze it, and then poured Popovich a cup of coffee.

"Did something happen again with Kawhi?"

Popovich asked as he handed the coffee to him.

Tang Tian knew that Popovich had been troubled a lot recently, mostly because of Leonard's affairs.

"Well, I lost contact with Kawhi again."

Popovich nodded and put down the coffee.

"Didn't you do what I said before?"

Tang Tian asked.

"No, I did what you said."

"Then why is it still happening like this?"

Tang Tian was full of doubts.

Even though he came from time travel, he only knew the general process of many things, and he didn't know the specific details.

If Popovich has done what he has done and given Leonard enough respect, and Leonard still chooses to have a bad relationship with the management, then it is Leonard's own problem.

If that were the case, he wouldn't have to continue giving advice.

"I followed what you said and gave him super treatment and asked him to go to New York to find a doctor.

Kawhi contacted me later, but he stayed in New York.

Pete didn't want to do it anymore. He felt that Kawhi was going too far and he was very angry. "

Popovich continued.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment.

Pete Holt.

He almost forgot about the Spurs owner.

He was the one who wanted to keep himself at the beginning.

Now it seems that Leonard is no longer wanted.

It is said that Popovich is the person with the biggest say in the Spurs, but there are also people above him.

No matter how powerful the head coach is, he is still the employer. No matter how low Holt is among the bosses, he is still the employer.

There is a gap between labor and capital that cannot be crossed.

"Then what?"

Tang Tian then asked.

"Pete said Leonard had to go back to San Antonio for treatment.

He didn't believe in the medical team Leonard found himself, just like the Rockets didn't believe in the doctors T-mac found himself. "

Popovich's next words let Tang Tian know the approximate reason for the incident.

And this example is also very vivid.

McGrady's back injury worsened in 2009. He failed to communicate well with the team and ran out to find a doctor.

So much so that the well-known "7-minute time limit" subsequently appeared, which eventually led to him being traded to New York.

This incident is actually a lesson for Holt.

He felt that he could use this method to threaten or force Leonard to return to San Antonio.

But unfortunately, as Tang Tian said, Leonard is not a good boy like GDP. He has his own plan and is not afraid of this threat.

Therefore, the two sides lost contact again.

Things seemed to have suddenly become very complicated.

Holt's tough attitude created a strong conflict with Leonard's personality.

It seems that Leonard is going to end up having a falling out with the Spurs like he did in history, and was eventually traded.

The moment he realized this, Tang Tian suddenly flashed a plan of the Pelicans using Siakam as the main body to trade Leonard.

The hard training brothers and the former younger brother Leonard, this opponent is really going to kneel down and call daddy before playing.

But this idea was quickly passed by him.

On the one hand, it is impossible for the Pelicans to afford the salary of five people. On the other hand, he does not want to have a bad relationship with Popovich because of Leonard.

Of course, the most important thing is that it is not necessary. The current Pelicans are already invincible enough.

The matter seems to be unsolvable.

Perhaps all Tang Tian can do is help Popovich contact Leonard.

Although that basically won't do much.

But just when he picked up the phone and was about to call Leonard, he suddenly remembered something.

It's not whether Leonard will answer his call, but the Spurs' medical facility incident.

He was a little tempted by Popovich's words and felt that Holt simply wanted Leonard to come back.

"Old man, what do you think of Holt?"

He suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"Why are you asking about this suddenly?"

Popovich was confused.

Tang Tian motioned for him to continue.

"Pete is a very good businessman and does well in dealing with people, but he is stingy when it comes to team investment.

Of course, this is not something he alone has the final say. There are many small owners in the Spurs.

Apart from this, he is sometimes stubborn, and there is nothing else. "

Popovich has a good relationship with Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tian has left the Spurs, so he told the truth.

"I know you have known each other for many years, but I think you may have to make a choice."

Tang Tian nodded and continued.

Popovich looked at Tang Tian, ​​even more confused.

"I think Holt's insistence on Kawhi returning to San Antonio is not just because of anger, but it may have something to do with Methodist.healthcare."

Methodist.healthcare is a new medical structure that the Spurs are cooperating with. Spurs players will go there for diagnosis if they are injured.

"You mean, it's the people from Methodist.healthcare who want him back?"

Popovich asked rhetorically.

“Most likely, you know that the diagnostic report from the medical institution is important.

If the local test report is very different from the report given by the doctor in New York, do you think this is a big deal? "

Tang Tian continued.

Popovich was silent.

This matter is huge.

For Methodist.healthcare, if a hospital makes a deviation in its diagnostic report, its reputation will be damaged and its quality will be questioned.

And there was a reason why Tang Tianhui said this.

Tang Tian has also returned to San Antonio in the past few years, and he knows very well what level of hospital Methodist.healthcare is currently cooperating with the Spurs.

That is a hospital that only has a 3.5 score (out of 5) in the hearts of San Antonians, ranking out of the top 200 in the United States.

Especially in kinematics, the level is average.

Therefore, it is really possible to misdiagnose Leonard's injury.

"But there's no direct evidence for that."

Popovich said after a long silence.

"That's why I said you might have to make a choice."

Tang Tian looked directly at Popovich, his former mentor.

"I allowed things to continue to deteriorate, and Kawhi became the next me, and maybe even left before the contract ended.

Or, pick a new owner for the Spurs. "
