The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"boom!"

His shot misses.

Boozer changed to the basket, and at this time he stretched out his long arms and was ready to receive the defensive rebound.

But at this moment, a hand suddenly poked the ball out.

Boozer turned his head in surprise, and Evans took off for the second time and grabbed the offensive rebound!

After taking the rebound, Evans didn't even look at the frame, turned around and returned the ball to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian made a shot after receiving the ball, but Butler intervened close by.

"boom!"

The ball still bounced out of the basket.

Noah has returned to the basket at this time, reaching out to grab the rebound.

But Evans got stuck in the basket after passing the ball. This guy has zero desire to attack, but 100 desire to grab rebounds!

Noah has no position, and Evans has a perfect judgment on where the ball will land. After jumping, it turned out to be another offensive rebound!

Two frontcourt boards in a row!

The Bulls fans on the sidelines were stunned.

The Bulls have always been known for their toughness and aggressiveness, but this 2-meter old guy seems to fight harder than them!

Evans gave the ball to Tang Tian again!

This is really in line with what he said when he first came to the team: Boss, give me the rebounds.

This time Tang Tian caught the ball and hit it directly, and scored with a shot after confronting Butler.

After scoring the goal, Evans was even more excited than him, and roared directly on the spot.

This guy is 34 years old, but still full of energy!

In the Bulls' offense, Boozer had no chance to play with the ball in the high position. He passed inside and lobbed to Noah at the basket.

Noah was a head higher than Evans, and directly confronted the subsequent shot.

But with this confrontation, he was pushed out of the whole person, and the close-range shot turned out to be a three-pointer!

The most water for a while, well-deserved reputation!

Evans turned around and received another defensive rebound!

Although he is short, he weighs 2 kg at 03 meters!

The four kings of the amateur basketball court: flexible and deadly fat man, short and strong rebounder, old hooker, tall and thin pervert.

Evans is the stocky rebounder on the professional court!

Tang Tian was also happy to see this.

Evans' effect is better than he imagined, he can resist rebounds, and he has the kind of hard work that can infect his teammates.

The Pelicans tried N insiders and finally found the real answer to their fifth position.

With the guarantee of Evans' rebounds, Tang Tian became more determined in attacking.

The Pelicans also slowly stabilized the situation on the court.

Whiteside had a bad expression off the court at this time.

Obviously, he looked down on Smith and Ajinsa, but Evans' performance made him feel the pressure.

The two teams remained deadlocked until the fourth quarter.

At the last moment, the Bulls resolutely double-teamed Tang Tian, ​​and Butler was close to Tang Tian from the beginning to prevent him from breaking through easily.

The Pelicans' offense was greatly limited, and they eventually lost 91 to 99, ending their 8-game winning streak.

However, there is nothing unacceptable about this loss. The Pelicans are eighth in the West and the Bulls are third in the East. There is still a gap in the overall strength of the two teams.

Tang Tian was restricted by Butler this time. He made 21 of 9 shots and only scored 25 points and 9 assists.

Evans made an eye-catching debut for the Pelicans, scoring 27 points, 2 rebounds and 13 block in 1 minutes.

The rebounding efficiency of this 2 minutes 1 rebound, the nickname of the rebound idiot is well-deserved.

His performance proved that even in the professional arena, in addition to talent and strength, hard work and hard work can also win playing time.

After finishing the Bulls game, Tang Tian took Butler to eat supper.

This guy was planning to practice more, but Tang Tian said that he postponed the plan until late at night.

"You still have to practice when you go back?"

When the supper was almost finished, Tang Tian couldn't help but look at his watch when he heard Butler's words.

You must rest after eating, and you can practice until two or three o'clock at night.

Tang Tian is considered a hard-working player, but Butler is simply a pervert.

"It's okay, I'll get up at 6 tomorrow morning."

Butler said with a smile.

When Tang Tian heard this, he suddenly felt that this guy was a lunatic.

"By the way, I've always been curious, aren't you tired from practicing so much?"

Tang Tian couldn't help asking.

As a human being in two lives, he knows that no matter how much he loves basketball, there is a limit.

Butler's approach is even more exaggerated than that of Matt Kay in Hokage, and it is really like burning with life.

"Tired? No, I don't feel that way anymore."

Butler smiled and shook his head.

Well, this guy really is a pervert.

Tang Tian finally shook his head helplessly. He suddenly felt that Butler was truly unique in the NBA.

"By the way, what do your parents do? Why have you never heard of it?"

At the end of the chat, Tang Tian asked.

The other hard-working brothers usually chat more or less about family affairs.

Thompson's star father, Irving's handsome father, Walker also took Tang Tian to the New York neighborhood where he lived as a child.

Only Butler never mentioned these.

"They...they are very kind, wait for summer, and I will visit them with you in summer."

Butler's expression changed several times when he said this, but in the end it was a happy and sweet expression.

Tang Tian nodded. Butler was a little curious when he said that.

After the game against the Bulls, the Pelicans continued their road trip.

In the next few days, they will fight against the Heat, Wizards, and Mavericks. The schedule is not easy.

There is a gap in strength between the Pelicans and the Heat, and the Big Three are also in good shape. Tang Tian's efforts to score points still can't help the team win.

The team suffered a two-game losing streak.

Williams, who has always been mild-tempered, exploded in the locker room after the game.

It wasn't because the team lost, but that Whiteside returned to the locker room early before the game was over.

Tang Tian has been playing on the court, so he didn't know about it. When he heard Williams say it, he looked back at Whiteside.

This guy is really not good!

Chapter 5 and One: The Origin of "Stabhead" Whiteside (First update!)

And he also realized that Whiteside's brain was worse than he thought.

Although he is not bad, he has a bad brain and is also a troublesome thorn.

If this toss continues, the Pelicans may really not want him.

Whiteside finally apologized to the team at Williams' request, but it can be seen from his expression that he was really reluctant.

This kind of performance is manifested in the fact that the players took the bus back to the hotel one after another, and he stayed in the locker room alone.

Tang Tian didn't go with the team either.

He had told Demps before that he wanted to have a chat with Whiteside, and this happened to be an opportunity.

And if it doesn't work this time, he also plans to give up.

Although Whiteside's future strength will be very good, in fact, for the Pelicans, it's just this season.

As a time traveler, next season's draft and free agent signing, Tang Tian's need to strengthen the team is a matter of hand, which is much simpler than this.

"Tell me, why did you go back to the locker room early today? There is no one else here. You have nothing to say to me."

After Tang Tian sat down, he said straight to the point.

"I can't play, it doesn't make any difference if I leave earlier or later."

Whiteside spoke.

Although Tang Tian didn't say anything, he was able to sign a contract with the team. His agent told him about Tang Tian's help, so he trusted Tang Tian.

Tang Tian froze for a moment when he heard this, is this guy really out of his mind?

"Then there is no difference between you being on this team and not being on this team?"

He looked at Whiteside and asked back.

Whiteside froze for a moment when he heard this, and then fell silent.

"You're on this team, you're part of this team, don't you know you have to behave like the team? Didn't anyone tell you not to do that?"

Seeing Whiteside's reaction, Tang Tian was a little annoyed.

Whiteside shook his head.

"..."

Tang Tian suddenly felt that some people became thorns because they love to make troubles, but in Whiteside's case, they really have a bad mind.

"When I was in Sacramento, I saw some players do it, but the coaching staff didn't say anything."

Whiteside went on to defend himself.

When Tang Tian heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly he was no longer angry.

Speaking of which, he was a coach in his previous life and had seen many players like this.

The growth environment of a player will also determine his future to a large extent.

For example, he is also the second place in the list. Durant can have the most firing rights in his rookie season in the Thunder, but Milicic sits on the Pistons bench.

Kwame Brown might have grown up very well if he hadn't played under Jordan, and Bennett might have been a good role player if he wasn't selected as the No. [-] pick.

These encounters, and even the actions of these teammates as Whiteside said, will affect the players' mentality and thus their future.

After all, players are human beings, not machines.

"I don't care what your reason is, or you were late to practice last time because someone set an example for you in Sacramento, but Hassan, I just want to remind you of one thing right now."

Tang Tian continued.

He said it emphatically, then looked straight at Whiteside.

"You're less than six days away from leaving the NBA again."

Whiteside was visibly taken aback when he heard this.

"The most that the NBA provides to a player is two ten-day short contracts. With your current performance, it is impossible for the management to renew your contract."

Tang Tian made his words very clear, and Whiteside's eyes changed.
