Chapter 275 Progress Again
As the saying goes, listening to what you say is better than reading ten years of books. Johnny and Brad helped Tianyang face up to his heart and rediscover his own way of playing. It can be said that this revisit to the old place has gained a lot.

Since entering the NBA, Tianyang's approach to the game has undergone tremendous changes. It is no longer as free as it was in college, but is affected by the team's tactical arrangements, comments from the media and fans, and the status of teammates.

For example, the team arranged to play a mobile offense. Facing a point guard with a particularly poor defense, he also chose to pass the ball and then go down. Even though the head coach Walton told him many times that he could play alone depending on the situation, he was worried about damaging the team's response. .

Or because the media thinks that he has too few assists, he can reduce his shots and pass the ball to his teammates for assists, even if he needs to stand up and take the lead in attacking to open up the situation in that game.

Another example is that Cousins ​​wanted the ball before, and he also gave priority to finding a way to distribute it.

A few minutes ago, he had already reached the point where he was worried that his solo play would affect the efficiency of his teammates.

Of course, according to the original way of playing, it’s not about chasing singles blindly, but should always take the team’s victory as the first goal like in college, take the shot when it needs to be shot, and assist when it needs to be assisted. Why, don't deliberately do things you don't want to do.

"I have to catch up with training tomorrow afternoon, so I'm going back first." Tianyang got the answer and chose to leave early, "The experience of the Sequoia team has changed my life twice, and I can't think of a better way to thank you for the time being. Donate a little money and use it for the team's daily expenses."

Johnny said immediately that he didn't need it, but Tianyang was very persistent, so he couldn't help it, so he nodded and agreed.

After finalizing the donation, Tianyang left the arena directly, hailed a car outside the school, and went straight to Los Angeles International Airport.On the way, he called Farage.

"Honey, your remembrance of school days is over so soon?"

"Well, how much cash is in our account now?"

"Wait, let me see... Adidas' endorsement fee for the second quarter has arrived, and there is currently a total of 623 million US dollars in cash. What do you want to do?"

"Donate $500 million to my university and request that it be used only for Sequoia expenses."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Farage didn't ask why, she always followed Tianyang's arrangements.

……

On the way back to Los Angeles, Tianyang quietly circulated a piece of news on Twitter.

TMZ: "The star of the Lakers was dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates, so he went back to school alone late at night to recall the process of winning the championship."

In this tweet, apart from the text, there is also a photo of Tianyang walking into the gate of Stanford with a tired face, and a photo of Tianyang leaving with excitement.

Apparently, someone noticed Tianyang, took a sneak shot of Tianyang, and then sold it to TMZ.

This tweet received thousands of comments in just 3 minutes.

"The Lakers are completely finished. Tianyang's actions will lead to instability in the army. Congratulations to the Warriors for advancing."

"He is still too immature, and there is still a long way to go. Kobe lost in the 08 finals, and he did not miss the championship trophy in 01/02/03."

"The last time he was so selfish, it seemed to be taking care of his sick girlfriend. As a result, the Lakers lost three games in a row."

These three comments received the most likes.Tianyang didn't explain, and the Lakers didn't respond because it was late at night. As a result, the three became tigers, and more and more people labeled Tianyang as stupid, cowardly, and selfish.

Time came to 11:[-] in the blink of an eye, and Stanford University updated a message on the official website homepage and Twitter.

"Thank you alumni @天洋 for donating $500 million to help the school's basketball team develop further."

The news went unnoticed at first, until a player on the Stanford women's basketball team asked if the women's team would also get the donation money.Stanford's official reply: SkyOcean specifically requested that there be both men's and women's teams, and the US$500 million will be shared equally, and it will absolutely not favor either side.

The women's team players were very happy and immediately became the largest women's rights organization in the United States.Subsequently, the largest feminist organization in the United States retweeted the relevant tweets, thanking Tianyang for its strong support for the equal rights movement for men and women.

Everyone can verbally say that they support women's rights, but it's not so easy to say if you want to offer real money and various rights and interests.SkyOcean's 500 million US dollars will be divided into 250 million for the women's team, which can be regarded as a real support.
Soon, Hollywood female stars from all walks of life, even those who had never followed the NBA, retweeted and thanked Tianyang.

Meryl Streep: "Look, he's a foreigner, but he's better than our president. I don't know basketball, but I'll be up at Staples Center on the 18th to say yes @ Thanks to Tianyang."

Scarlett Johansson: "Sisters, take action and support those who support us!"

Anne-Hathaway: "In today's full of discrimination against women, Tianyang stood up, he is a warrior #不让军士感儿孤#!"

Ayesha: "Great to see my husband @curry match up with a great player @skyocean."

All kinds of compliments flooded in. Except for Anne Hathaway who was self-defeating, all other tweets were retweeted in large numbers and quickly, and Tianyang's image became much higher.

……

When Tianyang woke up, Farage, who was sleeping next to him, put the phone directly to his face.

"Look, honey, look, everyone is praising you."

"What?" Tianyang rubbed his eyes, waited for him to see the content clearly, and asked in surprise: "I don't seem to have asked for an equal split between the male and female teams. Is it your other request?"

"Yeah... wait, don't you want to?"

"No, I really didn't think of this. It's better for you to arrange it this way. You've become smarter."

"Was I stupid before?"

"No, no, absolutely not..."

……

At 18:7 pm on the 30th, the sixth game of the Lakers-Warriors series kicked off.

Losing three games in a row did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Lakers fans, and there are more and more big-name stars on the sidelines.

In the TNT commentary section, O'Neill nodded slightly from the beginning of the live broadcast.

Ernie: "Shaq, can you stop nodding? You have such a big shiny bald head, I'm almost dizzy by you, what are you excited about?"

O'Neill stopped and spread his hands: "Dude, did you see that? The lady sitting next to Leonardo, she is Meryl Streep, the three-time Oscar winner for best actress, never cared In the basketball game, she came to the Staples Center today, and she came here specially for Tianyang, aren't you shocked? This is something that even Jordan didn't do!"

Barkley: "To be honest, I'm not surprised at all. Tianyang can always create miracles, unless he can make the ratings of the All-Star Game better than the Super Bowl."

Kenny: "Compared to Meryl Streep, I was more surprised that Tianyang went back to Stanford and tweeted that he had improved again. I am very curious to what level he will improve. Could it be Is 60+ points not enough? Do you want 70 points or 80 points?"

……

In the Lakers locker room, Walton finished speaking and motioned for Tianyang to continue.

"Guys, please join me, forget that tonight is the Western Conference finals, forget the series score, forget the championship, let us play a pure basketball for victory, and dedicate it to everyone who likes basketball."
