Chapter 442 Men Build Relationships by Fighting (Second Update!)
Tang Tian finished his analysis, but he couldn't solve all the problems at once.
Although Demps had asked him about the team's signing of the 15th man before, it was a favor.
Before he has achieved enough records to satisfy the management, he suggested that it is possible, but it is impossible for him to be what he says.
The changes of these core players also need to find the right time one by one.
Let's start with Davis first.
Davis and him are the ones who determine the lower limit of this team.
"AD, have dinner with me later, and I'll introduce someone to you."
The training was over, Tang Tian called Davis over and said to him.
"good."
Davis didn't ask anything, just nodded.
Tang Tian felt that this cute personality was pretty good this time, at least he didn't need to bother to explain anything.
In the well-known local western restaurant, besides Tang Tian and Davis, there were two other people who came to eat, Procopio and Pelicans assistant coach Van Tate.
Davis didn't know what was going on, but that didn't seem to matter either.
Procopio has a wide network of contacts. He and Tate have known each other before, and Tang Tian doesn't need to introduce them.
After several exchanges, Tate basically knew what Tang Tian was going to do.
There is more than one assistant coach in the NBA, each coach has a clear division of labor, and each team is different.
Like Borrego, the chief assistant of the Pelicans, he is responsible for the entire tactical system of the team.
And the assistant coach Tate invited by Tang Tian today is in charge of the team's shooting training.
Although the Pelicans are a small team in a small city, as Williams said when he recruited Tang Tian, Benson is still a very willing to spend money owner, and the team basically has all the necessary equipment.
"AD has big hands and a long wingspan. He is very suitable for Kevin Durant's shooting style. Maybe because of his heavy weight, his long-range shots are not so stable, but he has a strong confrontation with his big weight. , the middle distance is his advantage..."
Procopio is worthy of being a professional trainer, and started to analyze Davis' physical data there.
And it was so that Tate nodded and didn't say a word.
"...he can be a great shooter, as high-altitude as Kevin Durant."
This is Procopio's final conclusion.
Although Tang Tian was not as thorough as Procopio's analysis, but as a time traveler, he knew this conclusion.
Davis himself became more confident after hearing this, and he was also very happy.
He wants to grow further and this is a step he has to take.
The coaching staff hadn't thought of it yet, but Tang Tian thought of it for him first.
After sending Davis and Tate away, Tang Tian took a taxi home by himself.
As soon as I got in the car, there was a message push reminder on Twitter.
The Woj he follows has just posted a new message.
The league just announced the results of the previous conflict between the Pelicans and the Clippers.
Barnes was suspended for two games and fined $15,000 for flagrant fouls.
Metta World Peace was suspended for an additional three games and fined $25,000 for a flagrant foul.
This result was much better than Tang Tian imagined.
He originally thought that with Ci Shiping's actions, he would be banned for at least 5 to 10 games. It seems that Stern really gave him enough face this time.
Tang Tian called Ci Shiping and asked him to have a meal with him after training tomorrow.
Because Ci Shiping was suspended and fined, he will definitely pay the money, and it is not just a matter of money.
He has to really thank you in person.
It is not unreasonable for a man to establish a relationship with a man, except for playing games and fighting.
Back home, Woj pushed another message. It turned out that the Clippers were dissatisfied with the league's penalty and had already appealed to the league.
You must know that Barnes was not fighting at that time, but was beaten unilaterally, and he was beaten a bit badly.
They are only suspended for 3 games, which does not satisfy them at all!
When seeing this, Tang Tian suddenly felt like laughing.
Damn, I didn't feel dissatisfied when I was abolished. Do you still have the face to complain?
However, this kind of protest is basically useless. In Stern's 30-year career as president, he has basically never backed down.
Once the decision is made, it is dead.
After training the next day, he and Ci Shiping went to eat together.
On the way there, Woj has already sent a message.
The league will not change the penalty result.
A very simple piece of news made Tang Tian laugh out loud.
This is not only a society of human relations in China, but also in foreign countries. Who told him that he and Stern have a good relationship.
"Charity, give me your card number, I will pay your fine for you."
Halfway through the meal, Tang Tian spoke to Ci Shiping.
"No, that's not my style. If someone else gets fouled like that, I'll take the shot."
Ci Shiping is really very loyal.
An NBA team is similar to a company, and teammates are colleagues. In fact, there are not many in the league who can stand up for their colleagues in this way.
"When I was in the Spurs, I also took a shot for my teammates. One punch, I was suspended for 2 games."
Tang Tian smiled and said that he beat Kenyon Martin for Ginobili back then, and those were the only two games he missed in the previous two years.
Ci Shiping looked at Tang Tian in surprise when he heard this.
He didn't expect that Tang Tian, who seemed to have a good temper, would be furious for his teammates.
"It seems that we are the same kind of people."
After a while, he spoke.
Tang Tian smiled and nodded.
People are very different from each other, but they have some commonalities in personality, so they are just one type of people.
"At that time, all my teammates in the Spurs had to pay the fine for me. I refused at first, but in the end I was persuaded because I knew it was not a matter of money, but a matter of heart and affection."
Tang Tian continued.
His words are not false, but the truth.
Although he only spent two years with the Spurs, some of the culture there inevitably affected him.
For example, the theory of rocks, such as touching heads and buttocks, such as the idea of carrying guns together.
"Okay, then I accept your wish."
Ci Shiping could feel that Tang Tian's words were true, so he didn't refuse again.
"We're friends now, aren't we?"
Tang Tian continued.
Ci Shiping smiled and nodded, those who have fought must be friends.
"As a friend, I forgot to give you a gift on your birthday before, so I will make it up this time."
Tang Tian took out a box from the stool beside him as he spoke.
"Beats.By.Dr. Dre's newest headphones, not quite as good as the ones you're using, but should be good."
He can talk more than Little Reeves, and what he said made Ci Shiping feel much more comfortable.
And from Ci Shiping's eyes, it can be seen that he likes this gift very much.
"No, the Ferrari you gave me for Christmas is already extravagant enough, I can't have that."
However, his first reaction was to decline.
Tang Tian was already about to pay a fine for him, so it would be inappropriate to ask for this earphone.
Although this thing is not as good as a Ferrari, it costs more than ten thousand dollars.
"Christmas is Christmas, and birthdays are birthdays. I said we are friends. Does it make sense for friends not to give presents on their birthdays?"
Monty Williams is famous for his interpersonal skills, but Tang Tian's communication skills are even stronger than him.
