"I am your coach, who decides your job." Tang Tian stared straight at him.
Woods looked stiff, but because he was an old player, he stood up and said, "It was coach Xibodu who invited me to play, and I only listened to him."
Xibodu looked awkward for a while, this Woods really turned his muzzle.
He just wanted to speak, Tang Tian said lightly, "You can leave."
Woods looked at him for a moment, he didn't expect Tang Tian to say so crisply, regardless of Xibodu's face.
"Need me to invite you out with security?" Tang Tian said coldly when he saw that Woods hadn't moved.
Woods glanced at Thibodeau, seeing that he didn't mean to speak, snorted coldly, and then went straight out of the training hall.
With Woods's lesson, all the other players suddenly quieted down.
下 This dismissal made them realize that Tang Tian was definitely not a mess.
"It seems you can all do it." Tang Tian continued.
"Yes, coach," Millsap said.
"Yes, coach."
Other players also started to speak one after another.
Tang Tian nodded, his solemn expression eased.
"All of you, there is only one purpose to come to the Summer League. It is to win the opportunity to enter the NBA. This is not an easy way. Even if you have played well here, you may still have the chance to play the preseason in the end nothing."
Tang Tian's next words, it immediately touched the hearts of the players.
"But my team is different. I don't need you to have beautiful statistics. Because when you get to the Rockets, you don't need those at all. What I need is for you to play your own characteristics and let me see your skills. I can guarantee that if your skills impress me, I can take you to the preseason even if the entire league does not score a point. "
After saying this, not only the players, but Xibodu seemed very surprised.
This is the first time he has met a coach who dare to say so.
However, this is indeed very effective, after the players returned to God, one by one eager to try.
In the summer league before, the ball was basically in the hands of the defenders. Everyone was rushing to lose the data. I was afraid that everyone would be surprised.
I saw that the players were in good shape, and Tang Tian didn't talk nonsense, and then began training.
After a week, the summer league officially started. The complex tactics obviously could not be practiced, so Tang Tian arranged the tactics to be very simple.
Offense, pick-and-roll tactics; defense, defense.
Although it is simple, it also takes time. The pick-and-roll subdivision has ball and no-ball pick-and-roll, and the defense also has 2-3, 3-2, and 2-1-2.
However, with the guarantee of Tang Tian, the team members are training very hard.
After a week's time, although there is no conscience, some tacit understanding has been established between the players.
A week later, Tang Tian and Xibodu took his group of players on a plane to Las Vegas.
They will be there for the journey of the Summer League.
Las Vegas, nicknamed "Gambling City", is one of the most prosperous cities in the United States. It is a place of wealth and prosperity, and is a paradise for rich people. This is why Tang Tian had to advance the third requirement in advance.
Because it is the first Chinese coach in NBA history, this time the Las Vegas Summer League, the Rockets received considerable attention.
刚 This reporter was blocked by a reporter at the entrance as soon as he took the bus from the plane to the entrance of the hotel.
自然 They naturally came from Tang Tian.
"Tang Tian, there are rumors that you are the son of a Rocket executive. Is that true?"
"Tang Tian, are you the key for the Rockets to renew Yao Ming?"
"Tang Tian, I heard that Quinter Woods, the team's best-known team, was fired from your team. Are you ready for the summer league defeat?"
Uh ...
Reporters flocked, and the problem was a mess.
After Tang Tian signed with the Rockets, he had not appeared in front of the media, and was caught by reporters. There were all kinds of problems.
Tang Tian originally wanted to refuse to answer directly, but he couldn't stand too many reporters, and it was difficult to use violence in public. He could only stop.
"You don't have a named player on your team. Are you confident of winning a victory?" In a mess of questions, he heard a slightly normal question.
"We will win the championship."
Tang Tian's answer was simple, but it caused a commotion among reporters.
他们 In their eyes, two 1.83 guards, two second rounds, and a bunch of marginal men who can't be named, it is good to win one game, even want to win?
Thanks to the commotion of the reporters, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Tang Tian stepped up and squeezed with Xibodu.
记者 The reporters still wanted to go up but were stopped by the hotel security.
"It's the first time I've seen the summer league scene so big, Tang, you're not under a lot of pressure." Xibodu said with emotion when he entered the hotel.
"Yes? How can I not feel?" Tang Tian said with a smile.
Xibodu 愣愣 glanced at Tang Tian. Although he admired Tang Tian very much, he didn't know where Tang Tian had the courage to claim the championship, and he felt like he was in control.
"Okay, let's put down our luggage and eat something, I'm a bit hungry." Tang Tian smiled and patted Xibodu's shoulder.
伯 Xibodu shook his head and said nothing.
Put down things, Tang Tianzheng was going out, just then the phone rang.
He picked it up, and the caller ID was Hathaway.
表 The cousin made many phone calls one after another, and it seemed that he really cared about him.
"Tang, I heard people in the Chinese medicine store say you haven't worked there long ago, what happened?" There was anxious voice from Hathaway.
"Oh, I changed jobs, got a job as a basketball coach, and forgot to tell you." Tang Tian said apologetically.
"Basketball coach? When did you get this? Where are you now?"
"I'm in Las Vegas, I'm going to play tomorrow." Tang Tian saw Xibodu come out and motioned him to wait.
"Are you in Las Vegas ?!" There was a loud voice over there.
Tang Tian took the phone away from his ear and said "um".
"Where are you now? I'll pick you up," said quickly.
"You are also in Las Vegas?" Tang Tian stopped for a moment.
