The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Tang Tian continued.

Disasters are not limited to New Orleans, and there are not a few people affected by typhoons in China.

Since you have this kind of thinking, you should try to expand the scope as much as possible.

His two children are about to be born, which is also to accumulate some blessings for them in advance.

Chapter 724 Five Brothers Competing for the Championship (First Update!) (Revised)

The hurricane left New Orleans after sweeping for five days.

The rich area where Tang Tian is located is located upstream, so the loss is not too big, but the downstream has suffered heavy losses.

More than half of the Port of New Orleans was destroyed, 10,000+ people were displaced, and 50 people died in the hurricane.

When the disaster caused by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 has not completely faded, it is really cruel for New Orleans to experience such a disaster ten years later.

Many people who are still living here have doubts about whether to continue to stay.

At this moment, Tang Tian immediately posted the news on his personal Twitter.

He will establish the Tang Tian and Olsen Global Foundation and invest 1000 million US dollars as the foundation's initial capital.

The foundation's first grant will go toward rebuilding efforts in New Orleans.

After Tang Tian's tweet was released, many NBA stars immediately stood up to support him.

Kobe immediately replied on Twitter that he would invest 100 million in the foundation.

James, Harden, Wade, Duncan and other stars all reposted and expressed their willingness to donate.

In the face of a disaster, grievances and grievances become insignificant.

In Hollywood, the first person to stand up was Emma Watson.

When Tang Tian tweeted, Watson called to inquire about his situation, and immediately donated 50 US dollars to the foundation.

Followed by Scott and Yates, after donating money and reposting, they are also calling for Hollywood movie stars to participate.

Since then, rich people in New Orleans and surrounding cities have also donated.

There are even many domestic fans who support it. Lin Huanyu personally donated 1000 million, which is worthy of the name of the super rich second generation.

Tang Tian also asked Karl to use the money raised by the foundation as soon as possible, and it was open and transparent.

This approach encouraged the confidence of those disaster victims in New Orleans.

Soon, the mayor of New Orleans, Jeff Hunter, also invited Tang Tian to the front line of disaster relief.

The appearance of Tang Tian made the victims cheer.

He has established a huge popularity in New Orleans in the past two years, and now he has become a source of confidence for these disaster victims.

"The spiritual pillar of New Orleans."

"He's not just a basketball star, he's a New Orleans hero."

"The significance of a Chinese to a city, from Chinatown to the foundation, he is a symbol of New Orleans."

??????

The media also publicized Tang Tian.

It's just that after experiencing such a disaster, this kind of publicity has played a very positive role.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he strengthened the confidence of many people to continue living in New Orleans.

Post-disaster reconstruction will be a long process, and Tang Tian let Carl devote himself to the Foundation's campaign.

And he and the hard-working brothers continued to train.

This disaster made Tang Tian think more about the new season.

In the process of post-disaster reconstruction, if the city can bring the first NBA championship, the encouragement to the city will be unprecedented.

Just like the Saints won the championship in 2010, although it had been 5 years since Hurricane Katrina at that time, it still brought great encouragement to the rebuilding of New Orleans after the disaster.

If they can win the championship in the first year after the disaster, the effect it will bring is not to mention.

On the first day of training, Butler performed extraordinarily hard.

After the training was over, several other people went home with Tang Tian one after another, but Butler did not leave.

"I'm staying in the training hall tonight."

This is what Butler and Tang Tian said.

"I have lost a week of training time, and I must hurry up and get back."

This week naturally refers to this period of time when the hurricane hits.

Butler felt that a week was wasted, and he had to practice it back through additional training!

Sure enough, this guy's attitude towards training is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

But knowing Butler's character, Tang Tian wasn't too surprised.

Jokic also slept in the training hall the next day.

Considering that he has previous "criminal record", this seems to be reasonable.

But Butler finally found someone who could keep him company.

The post-disaster reconstruction in New Orleans is proceeding in an orderly manner, and their hard-working brother training camp is also sweating constantly.

His parents returned to China not long after, and Tang Tian also devoted more time to training.

Time flies to mid-September, and more than a month has passed, and their training effect is remarkable.

McGee's defense is obviously better than before, and Davis' low-post offense has become much more skilled.

Tang Tian's three threats also adapted very well.

The Pelicans' lineup changes in the summer are not big, but their overall strength has steadily improved.

In mid-September, the Hard Training Brothers training camp ended, and Walker and the others were all preparing to leave New Orleans.

"You must defeat Clay."

After being "enough" with Thompson's "showing off" for a summer, Owen couldn't help saying to Tang Tian before parting.

"Don't worry, I will meet you again in the finals."

Thompson also continued his "show off", smiling and throwing a look at Owen.

"No, it's me who made it to the finals this year."

Butler continued.

Walker smiled wryly and shook his head. These guys are fighting for the championship this year.

But when he smiled, he felt a little sad.

He seemed to be the only one left behind.

Tang Tian went over and patted him on the shoulder.

"You need to beat Kyrie."

Walker nodded firmly when he heard Tang Tian's words.

Everyone else is in the west, only he and Irving are in the east.

Back then, he and Tang Tian defeated Duke at the University of Connecticut, and he will also defeat the Cavaliers this year.

Nothing is impossible unless you dare not think about it.

The competition for the new season is also the championship competition among the five brothers.

The training camp for the hard training brothers is over, and the training camp for the Pelicans has also begun.

Tang Tian chose to end the training camp at this time in order not to interrupt his and Davis' training.

On the first day of the training camp, except for the newly joined Bojan and Joe Harris, all the remaining players arrived.

Losing to the Warriors last season made them more unwilling than losing to the Grizzlies before. This season, their desire to defeat the Warriors and win a championship has never been stronger.

Stevens will not be there for two days, and the assistant coach will take them to practice in these two days.

But to the surprise of most players, their assistant coach turned out to be Monty Williams!

After Williams was fired by the Pelicans, like Mark Jackson at the beginning, he was not favored by other teams because of his lack of tactical skills.

Mark Jackson can return to his own TNT to continue to be a commentator, and Williams is tantamount to losing his job.

For him at this time, it was his choice to be an assistant coach of a team.

At this moment, after Demps communicated with Stevens, the two went to find Williams together.

After some exchanges, Demps offered him a lucrative assistant coaching contract of 4 million for 500 years, and Williams agreed to return to the Pelicans as the first assistant coach.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and train, don't you want revenge, don't you want to win the championship?"

Williams looked at the surprised expressions of the players and shouted directly.

From the head coach to the first assistant coach, and returning to the original team, this is something that many people cannot accept.

But Williams took it, and it seemed he was on to something.

They are all working as teaching assistants, so it is better to stay in a familiar place, and the salary they get is not low.

Besides, he was not reconciled to losing last season.

Thanks to Mr. Wack, Shihe Yuanfang, Burial!. Disguise, solitude, mushroom k, memories under promise, real Sahara, middle-aged 2020, Haizuo for their rewards.

Chapter 725 The new coach takes office (second update!)

Williams is in charge of training, and everything seems to be the same as before.

Two days later, Stevens arrived at training camp.

If the league were to choose the most handsome head coach, then Stevens would definitely get crushing votes.

Tyronn Lue, who has just been poached by the Cavaliers with the first assistant coach salary of 4 million in four years, is only 650 years old, only one year older than Stevens.

But fans will never call him a young coach, because he is only young but not handsome.

Handsome is the first feeling that the Pelicans saw when they saw Stevens.

They hadn't had the chance to see Stevens this close before.

"I'm not a championship trophy, you don't have to stare at me so intently."

Stevens looked at the Pelicans and said with a smile.

His first sentence immediately made the team members laugh.

Generally, when strangers meet, the first sentence determines the impression to a large extent. Stevens' words will give people a very easy-going feeling.

Of course, there are also some feelings that there is no majesty of the head coach.

"Of course I promise, I will take you to win the championship trophy."

But his next words were soon followed by whistles and cheers.

The Pelicans only want to win the championship this season, and this sentence touched their G-spot.

Tang Tian also laughed.

He chatted with Stevens, because he was not on the same team before, it was more like an exchange between friends.

He didn't know much about Stevens' specific coaching style.

But now it seems that Stevens has not only technical and tactical ability, but also a good level of speech.

"I'm Brad Stevens. You can call me coach or Stevens. Of course, if you think you have a good enough relationship with me, you can call me Brad. Of course, I hope that next season's training camp , you can all call me Brad."
