The Godfather of Basketball

Knowing that Swift has signed a record company, the people from those music companies can only shake their heads helplessly.

But singing at such a large party, the effect is immediate.

That night, there were seven or eight TV stations that invited Swift to participate in the program, including many large-scale TV programs such as "Grand.Ole.Opry" and "Good Morning America".

The opportunity that Tang Tian fought for Swift greatly increased her popularity.

It can be predicted that when Swift's record is officially released, it will have a relatively good start.

After the party was over, Tang Tian showed up in the arena early the next day.

Tonight will be his first day as the team's official head coach. The opponent is still a powerful Mavericks. He must make as much preparation as possible.

When walking towards the head coach's office, he saw a familiar figure just opened the door and came out.

Jeff Van Gundy, after disappearing for more than a week, he reappeared.

Holding a file rack with both hands, it was full of files, he should have come to pick up things.

Tang Tian stretched out his hand to say hello: "Jeff, long time no see."

Van Gundy was a little surprised to see that it was Tang Tian, ​​but he still nodded: "Long time no see."

"Do you need me to get it for you?" Seeing that Van Gundy had a lot of things in his hand, he said.

Van Gundy nodded and didn't refuse.

Tang Tian carried half of the files over, and then helped them walk towards the elevator.

The whole journey was silent, although there was no conflict between the two, but because of the relationship between the current and former, neither of them could speak first.

After moving all the documents to the car, Van Gundy dug out some documents from the file rack, handed them to Tang Tian and said, "This is my arrangement of the team's defensive system in the past three years, and it may be useful for your subsequent coaching." help."

"It's impossible for me to coach the Rockets again. It's just a pile of waste paper when I take it back." Fearing that Tang Tian wouldn't answer, he added another sentence.

Van Gundy had already talked about this, Tang Tian didn't refuse any more, and took over the thick stack of documents.

"What are your plans next?" Tang Tian asked.

"I'm going to spend time with my family first, and then think about the next step, maybe becoming a commentator or something."

"Aren't you going to look for opportunities in other teams?"

"No, I'm tired of being a head coach. It's been almost twenty years. Not only do I have no time to spend with my family, but also my hair." Van Gundy smiled and touched his bald head.

The serious Van Gundy has such a humorous side, Tang Tian was also amused.

"Okay, I gotta go," Van Gundy said, taking one last look at the Toyota Center before getting into his car.

Tang Tian nodded. Although they didn't get along for a long time, and there were disagreements because of coaching, seeing Van Gundy leaving, he still felt a little emotional.

"Oh, by the way, I heard you went to the party last night?" Van Gundy suddenly lowered the window and said.

"Huh?" Tang Tian was a little puzzled, he didn't expect Van Gundy to know all about it.

"When you become a head coach, you have to pay attention. If the media catches some things, they will be entangled." Van Gundy reminded.

Tang Tian nodded.

Van Gundy smiled, lowered the window, and finally drove away from the underground garage.

Tang Tian looked away, didn't think about it, and then went back to the office.

Van Gundy's kind reminder finally came to the point.

As far as Tang Tian was studying tactics in the office, the reports from the outside media were overwhelming.

These reporters didn't know how to do it. They took various photos related to him. Some of them were in the same group as Hathaway, and some were in the same group as Lima. group.

Because he just took over as the head coach of the Rockets, coupled with his identity as a yellow race, he immediately became the focus of media reports.

"Getting carried away, the Chinese coach of the Rockets hangs around gatherings and sending teams before the game."

"Red wine supermodel, the Rockets' new coach is unrestrained off the court."

"Dawson made the worst decision, and the Rockets' prospects for the new season are worrying."

...

These reports had some impact on the management of the Rockets, and Dawson also chatted with Tang Tian.

But after knowing that Tang Tian was invited by his cousin, he didn't say much except to let him pay attention to his image outside the court.

In this context, the Rockets ushered in a game against the Dallas Mavericks.

In the past January, the Mavericks played the league's longest wave of 10 consecutive victories, and the state is hot.

Because the Rockets are only ahead of the Rockets by 1 game, this game is not only related to whether the winning streak can continue for the Mavericks, but also whether the number one throne in the Western Conference will eventually change hands. Nothing is held back in this game.

The Toyota Center was full of seats, and no one would want to miss such a strong showdown broadcast live across the United States, coupled with the grievances between the two teams in the playoffs.

The game will be narrated by Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith from TNT.

Before the game started, Barkley couldn't stop laughing. Before Smith dunked in his underwear, it was because of betting on the Rockets.

"Charles, are you going to go to the bathroom and laugh for a few minutes first? Are you?"

"Okay, okay." Barkley patted the commentary seat, trying to hold back his laughter, but just as he was about to speak, he collapsed again.

After a while, he gradually recovered when the players from the two teams came out of the locker room to warm up.

"Okay, let's not gamble this time, let's just make a prediction. Do you think the Mavericks, who have won 10 consecutive victories, or the Rockets, whose new head coach attended a sexy and luxurious party last night, have a better chance of winning?" Barkley Open your mouth and say.

"Team Rocket."

"The Rockets?" Barkley was surprised. "Hey, man, you don't think it's because the Rockets won last time that you were asked to wear that sexy underwear, so you keep picking it?"

"No! No!" Smith shook his head continuously. He used to tease Barkley for kissing the donkey's ass, but now he dunks in underwear and it's impossible to get over it.

"The Rockets have a record of 3 wins and 1 loss in the past. The only game they lost was against the Spurs, and they only lost 4 points. That game was because the Rockets didn't perform well off the bench."

"But man, the Mavericks can win 10 straight."

"Yes, I know, but I believe in Tang Tian's ability."

"What? You mean the new head coach of the Rockets? Man, he just attended a rave party yesterday! To be honest, I don't even know if he is sober now." Barkley said with a smile.

"No matter what he did yesterday, it will not affect his ability as a head coach. Since the last time the Rockets won the Heat, I have been watching him." Smith vowed.

"Dude! You... I dare to bet you, if the Rockets win, I won't touch a woman for a month. I'm serious." Barkley said.
