Chapter 146 To San Antonio (5/5)

Chapter 146 Heading to San Antonio (55)

But he and Scott have just met, so it's definitely not appropriate to mention this kind of thing.

Anyway, he is a time traveler, and it is easy to find some ideas that Scott is interested in later.

When the other party owes him a favor, it will naturally be a matter of course to recommend Olsen.

After the Coca-Cola commercial shooting ended, Tang Tian turned around and started training again.

When the time came to November 26, just like in the previous life, after 15 hours of negotiations, the NBA labor and management announced that the labor and management had reached a new agreement, and the 149-day lockout finally came to an end.

According to the league's official news, the free market and training camp will open on December 9 at the same time, and the new season will start on Christmas Day on December 25.

In this lockout, 70 NBA players played in overseas leagues. Most of these players signed contracts with NBA opt-out options, which can ensure that they will return to the league as soon as the lockout ends.

But some of them are not available. For example, Wilson Chandler, Brooks, JR-Smith, Patrick Mills and others who play in the Chinese CBA league, they can only return to the NBA after the end of the CBA season.

Chinese player Yi Jianlian is not in this range. After the lockout ended, he also left the Guangdong team and returned to the NBA to find a new contract.

But these are only a small part of the league. Most of the players waiting for the lockout to end, including the bosses of the employers, breathed a sigh of relief after the news was announced.

The fans were also cheering, they had waited long enough, if it weren't for the "Godfather", they would probably die of loneliness.

Just after the league announced the end of the lockout, the third episode of "The Godfather" also came to an end. In this episode, the "Godfather" brothers and NBA players Mike Beasley and Darko Milicic ushered in the ultimate battle .

Beasley and Milicic were No. 2 in 2008 and 2003 respectively. They were also the starters of the Timberwolves last season. Beasley even scored a career-high 19.2 points last season, which was at his best.

This is the most challenging, but also the most exciting duel since the beginning of the "Godfather" series.

This kind of duel also attracted unprecedented attention. The fans on the sidelines and the number of viewers of the broadcast reached a new high.

The two sides are not a game of 5 balls in the general sense, but 10 balls.

After the game started, Beasley became the absolute focus on the court. Although he has been criticized by the outside world for his nonchalant style of play, he is almost invincible in this kind of one-on-one catch game.

After the opening, he personally scored 8 goals in a row and almost ended the game directly.

Fortunately, after Tang Tian started to press with all his strength and restricted him from receiving the ball, the momentum was slowed down by them.

And Milicic was suppressed very badly against Mike. Mike scored consecutively at the basket and caught up the score a little bit.

Milicic couldn't help Mike, and Beasley only had the help of double-teaming. With this double-teaming, Tang Tian's strength on the perimeter began to show. He made 4 consecutive three-pointers, including a difficult fadeaway, directly The reversal ended the game.

The last goal was very difficult. After the shot, the whole scene went completely crazy.

This shot is not inferior to the official NBA game in terms of viewing and excitement.

In the cheers, Mike finally unveiled his mystery.

It turned out that he was the "big shark" O'Neal who just announced his retirement this summer.

At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that it is no wonder that neither the previous Kanter nor the current Milicic is Mike's opponent. O'Neal has just retired, so it must be easy to beat them!

The appearance of O'Neill also represents the official end of the third issue of "The Godfather".

After finishing the filming of The Godfather, Tang Tian and Walker's summer training for the four brothers has finally come to an end.

Four guys, they've been training together all summer, but they're going to four completely different teams now.

Thompson went to the Bay Area to seek gold, Irving went to the small city of Cleveland, Walker went to remote Charlotte, and Tang Tian went to San Antonio, Texas.

"Guys, new season, keep in touch." Before parting, Tang Tian said to the other three with a smile.

"I have reserved the best rookie." Irving said.

"That's my rookie of the year," Walker said right away.

"Go and fight, I will help the team reach the playoffs." Thompson said equally confidently.

"I look forward to hearing good news from you." Tang Tian finally smiled and stretched out his hand.

The four of them bumped their fists for the last time, which was considered to be the end of their summer training.

Although the training camp will not start until December 9th, Tang Tian plans to go to San Antonio before December. He is a rookie and will involve a series of things such as signing a contract, making a media appearance, even renting a house, buying a car, etc. It really takes time It's more urgent.

After packing up the things in the rental house, he said hello to Olson, and then he and Fagan got on the plane to San Antonio.

The plane roared and took off from Kennedy International Airport, Tang Tian looked out of the window at the ever-shrinking bustling city, and felt quite touched in his heart.

Counting it, he has been living here since the end of the NCAA, and it has been more than half a year.

This time he was going to leave the familiar place and go to that strange city that he had never stayed in in his previous life.

The distance between the two places is more than 2,500 kilometers, almost across the entire United States, and it takes nearly 6 hours.

Tang Tian fell asleep on the plane, and when he woke up, the plane had already entered Texas. After having lunch, and chatting with Fagan for a while, the crew reminded that San Antonio was coming soon.

Tang Tian turned his head and looked out the window. The first thing he saw was a military controlled area lined with high walls. San Antonio is one of the places where American military bases are deployed. There are not only garrison bases, but also air force bases and castles.

Then you can see the famous San Antonio River. The river passes through the city and forms the famous riverside pedestrian street. The city looks green.

There are also many historical architectural relics from the Spanish period in the city. This was the main battlefield of the American and Mexican Wars, and the whole city also has a strong historical atmosphere.

The plane roared and landed at San Antonio International Airport.

Tang Tian withdrew his gaze and called Fei Gen to stand up together.

If there is no accident, he will spend the next few years in this city.

His journey as an NBA player will also officially kick off with the Spurs.
