Chapter 626 No One Wants to Be a Laughing Stock (Second Update!)

Tang Tian was also thoughtful at this time.

McGee's two blocks and the awareness of empty cuts show that his golf quotient is not low.

But the mistake just now, and the way the defensive end didn't collect the rebound in time, are very incomprehensible.

McGee's extremely amateurish approach made his teammates lose trust in him, and he didn't get too many performance opportunities later.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Nuggets 112 to 89 at home and won a wave of 2 consecutive victories.

McGee played the entire last quarter, contributing 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks.

After the game, Tang Tian and Whiteside attended the team's press conference.

In addition to some routine questions, some reporters naturally mentioned McGee's performance.

"That turnover by JaVale was terrible, if it happened in the rotation period, it would have a big blow to the morale of the team."

Facing this question, Williams just smiled wryly and did not give a positive answer.

In fact, he didn't know how to answer.

Tang Tian took the microphone at this time.

"He had three really good blocks, and he's just come in and I'm sure he's going to get better and better."

Tang Tian's answer was just right.

"Will McGee still get a chance to play in the following games? We have noticed that there are many fans supporting him at the scene, holding signs, my.boy and so on."

The reporter's questioning drew a burst of laughter from other reporters.

Obviously the word my.boy is enough to make people laugh.

"We will arrange the rotation according to the situation of the match and the training situation of the players. Of course Javier will have the opportunity to play again."

Williams' answer was more polite.

"Don, what do you think of McGee as a new teammate?"

The reporter asked Tang Tian again.

This game was a big victory, and there was no suspense. There were not many questions that could be asked after the game. McGee became the focus of attention.

Before Tang Tian could speak, several reporters in the audience couldn't hold back their laughter.

Obviously, when the reporter in front said my.boy, they couldn't stop their good mood.

"He's a good player and a good guy."

As soon as Tang Tian opened his mouth, some reporters below couldn't help laughing. This is a good card, and usually there will be a twist in such words.

"And personally, I don't like the word my.boy just mentioned, and I don't want fans to hold that kind of sign at the scene anymore."

But Tang Tian didn't do what they expected, instead his tone became serious.

The reporters below stopped laughing, obviously they didn't expect Tang Tian to support McGee so much.

However, Tang Tian is now the king of New Orleans, and this is the home court. The reporters below are very interesting and didn't ask any more questions related to McGee.

After the press conference, Tang Tian and Whiteside walked towards the locker room.

"Javier will appreciate it."

Whiteside said to Tang Tian with a smile.

His smile is obviously different from the reporter's. There is a sense of gratitude in this smile.

Tang Tian really had nothing to say to his teammates. As the boss of the team, he didn't talk about it privately. In front of the media, he only boasted and defended.

"Everyone likes something to make people laugh, but no one wants to be that laughing stock."

Tang Tian replied calmly.

He also likes to watch the Big Five, and he will laugh when he sees Curry's slider and Thompson's 360° turn and dunk.

But it's not fair to keep targeting a guy like that, even making words like "my.boy" a player's label.

After returning to the locker room and taking a shower, everyone else has already left.

Tang Tian planned to go to the hospital to see Jokic, but when he passed by the arena, he heard a voice inside.

I walked over to take a look and found that McGee was training inside.

He was covered in sweat, and it looked like he was training extra after the game.

Like Biyombo before him, the chances of a role player getting a new team were poor, and Biyombo had seized it before, squeezing out Evans.

Jokic was injured, and he got a chance to enter the rotation.

But McGee played very mediocre in his first show, and he may not even have the chance to make his second appearance.

But it seems that his mentality is not bad, and he will train hard if he can't play well.

This kind of approach made Tang Tian very curious. He was not bad in football intelligence and EQ, and worked hard, but there would always be some brainless problems on the court.

These things generally do not appear in a person.

The next game for the Pelicans is to play against the Rockets, but it will be two days later.

Williams only scheduled daily practice in the afternoon.

But on this night, O'Neill's new five big jokes came out.

McGee's mistake last night made it to the top five without any suspense, and it ranked first.

Fans went viral on social media, with words like "my.boy is back" among the most liked comments.

McGee's help to the Big Five is obvious.

On the day of the game, the team arranged a training session in the morning as usual.

But before the training started, McGee's mood in the locker room looked different from the previous few days, and he was obviously a little frustrated.

Just like Tang Tian said, no one wants to be a laughing stock in the eyes of others, and so does McGee.

Seeing his mood, Tang Tian walked over and sat beside him.

Tang Tian had a new understanding of McGee's way of buying hamburgers before.

Although McGee's strength is not as good as that of Whiteside and Jokic, but he is still willing to give some help to such a person.

Just like he did in the press conference.

"Thank you for the words you said for me at the press conference."

McGee forced a smile to thank Tang Tian.

Tang Tian smiled and waved his hands, indicating that he didn't come to thank you.

"You don't care about that (Five Big Jons), it's just a boring show, and you also have to know that a lot of people have been on that, Steph, Klay, James (Harden), so it really doesn't matter too much .”

McGee nodded after listening, and he quickly understood and listened to it. His performance on the field really has nothing to do with his brain.

"What you should do more is to maintain focus in the game and play a good performance. This is the best response to outside doubts and the key to getting you the next contract."

Tang Tian continued.

The previous words are enlightenment, and the latter one is advice.

In the final analysis, if McGee really wants to prevent the outside world from questioning him, he must perform well enough, otherwise it will be useless to say more.

McGee nodded, Tang Tian's words reached his heart.

The training in the morning was the same as usual, and it was all non-confrontation training.

But Biyombo was a bit unlucky. He accidentally poked his finger during shooting training.

This is not a big problem, but he may not be able to play the game tonight.

After communicating with the coaching staff and the team doctor, it was decided to let Biyombo take a truce just to be on the safe side.

Jokic won't be able to play for a month or two. If Biyombo suffers another serious injury, the Pelicans' inside line will really be over.

Thanks to Xingfeng Xiaoye for the reward.
