The Godfather of Basketball

"Well, it is an honor to be able to represent the country in the competition. The Chinese men's basketball team also needs me, and to be honest, I am not the only one who has the final say." Sure enough, after hesitating for a long time, Yao Ming finally said so.

"Dayao, you have only played in the NBA for four years, but you have suffered five or six injuries, big and small, right? Especially your left ankle last season, as you know, what athletes are most afraid of is Continuing high-intensity matches may ruin your entire career." Tang Tian continued.

Yao Ming nodded, obviously he himself knew this too.

"As for the national team, to put it bluntly, you are irreplaceable in the Chinese team. Even if you don't participate in some national team games, they will not be able to remove you from the team." Tang Tian continued.

Yao Ming nodded, but said nothing.

Seeing Yao Ming's reaction, Tang Tian probably knew all of these things, and he made a choice.

In my memory, Yao Ming only played 48 games in the 2006-07 season because of a broken tibia in his left leg. As far as the Rockets team in history alone is concerned, if Yao Ming is healthy, the Rockets will definitely rank among the top three in the Western Conference during the regular season.

Although Millsap and Barea are now supplemented, if Yao Ming is injured, everything is still in vain.

So Tang Tian also had to make a choice.

"How about this, how about we make an agreement?" Tang Tian looked at Yao Ming and said.

"Promise?" Yao Ming looked at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"My family is a medical student. I have a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors, which can fully restore your left ankle, but you must promise me that you will not participate in other competitions except the World Championships and Olympic Games. How about it?"

Fully healed left ankle?

Hearing what Tang Tian said, Yao Ming's determination began to waver.

As a tall player, the ankle is most likely to be injured under heavy weight. Even if it is cured, it will recur from time to time. If he can really recover completely as Tang Tian said, he can fully agree.

"And to be honest, if you need to participate in all Asian-level competitions to win, do you think it will be a good thing for the development of the Chinese men's basketball team?" Tang Tian added.

Tang Tian's words pierced Yao Ming's heart. As the number one player in Chinese basketball, what he most hopes to see is the vigorous development of Chinese basketball. But as Tang Tian said, if he plays an Asian game, he will always rely on him. , What about when he retires? It is conceivable that it was definitely the collapse of the Asian dominance of the men's basketball team.

"Okay, I promise you, but the premise must be as you said." Yao Ming finally said. Like McGrady back then, he was skeptical of the medicine that Tang Tian said.

"That's right!" Tang Tian smiled when he heard what Yao Ming said, and then took out the bottle of blood-activating and stasis-removing medicine from his pocket last time, poured one into his hand, and directly Handed it to Yao Ming.

Yao Ming was taken aback for a moment. Isn't this a little too casual?

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous, I still want to work in the Rockets." Tang Tian continued, although this was a way of deceiving others, but for some reason, he always felt a bit quack.

Yao Ming nodded. Tang Tian's identity as the first assistant teacher cannot be faked. He took the pill and swallowed it directly with the water in the cup.

While he was taking the pill, Tang Tian also used the 2 honor points he had accumulated to exchange for the Iron Ankle from the system store, and then directly used it on Yao Ming.

Not long after Yao Ming took the pill, he felt a warm current from his left ankle, and what was even more miraculous than that warm current was that he didn't feel the soreness he had always had before, and even felt almost the same as before the injury.

He couldn't hide his excitement and stood up from the bed and took two steps, and then found that he was completely fine.

He looked at Tang Tian in astonishment, this is too amazing!

"It seems to be effective, remember your agreement with me." Tang Tian smiled and stood up.

Yao Ming nodded excitedly, he didn't care about the principle of the medicine at this time, after all, to him, it was more important than anything else.

After Tang Tian left Yao Ming's house, he visited the city in his memory, only to find that everything related to his previous life had disappeared. It seemed that his original identity had nothing to do with this world after time travel.

After staying in China for a period of time, after those stocks rose more than ten times, the capital on hand changed from 200,000 US dollars to more than 4 million US dollars in a blink of an eye.

He sold half of them, took out about 2 million US dollars, and participated in the venture capital investment in Alibaba.

Alibaba has just started at this time, and its total assets have just exceeded 100 million yuan, making it the most suitable fixed asset to hold.

With that done, he then flew back to the United States.

There is only more than a month before the start of the NBA preseason, and the coaching staff of each team has begun to get busy ahead of schedule for the new season.

Tang Tian went to the Toyota Center, but to his surprise, there was a bang in the training hall, and someone was already training inside.

He followed the sound, and then saw Hayes, Millsap, Novak and Barea training profusely in the training hall.

He went straight in.

"Coach!" Millsap was the first to spot Tang Tian, ​​and he shouted directly.

When he shouted, the other three people also stopped, seeing that it was Tang Tian, ​​their faces were very excited.

"Why did you come to the training hall so early?"

"Coach, we have been training here for more than a month, and my back is much more skilled than before." Millsap said directly.

"My defense has also improved, coach." Novak also said.

Been training for over a month?

Tang Tian was a little surprised, this was not arranged by him.

"It was Jose's proposal, but I also want to strive to meet your expectations of us." Millsap continued.

Barea's proposal?

That's right, he signed a non-guaranteed contract and is one of the most likely to be waived in the preseason.

But Millsap, it seems that what Tang Tian said at the beginning had a great influence on him.

Tang Tian nodded. Hard training in the summer is definitely a good thing. With a healthy Yao Ming and their hard training, the Rockets in the new season will definitely be stronger than the strongest Rocket in his memory, and will be much stronger.
