Chapter 17 - Meet Yao Ming for the first time
The end of the summer league, the ordinary game, because Tang Tian and the Rockets, became a bit angry.
Although the American media still takes a cold approach to Tang Tian, the domestic media and fans are extremely excited.
姚 Since Yao Ming joined the Rockets in 2002, the Rockets deservedly become the home team of Chinese fans.
It is precisely because of this that the Rockets’ role players, Uncle Huo, “Street King” Alston, Uncle Mu, Lucas III … are not only familiar to everyone, but also all fans of the discussion.
The Rockets coach is naturally the focus of discussion.
From Tom Norwich in the beginning to today’s Van Gundy, the current head coach Van Gundy is even more in focus.
The defense system is mature, but only understands that defense will not attack, there will always be only 8 players rotation, these are the slots for fans.
Now Tang Tian has shown the potential of top coaches, and they are still Chinese, how could they not expect and inspire them.
What can be foreseen is that the domestic football fan storm set off by the Rockets in the new season will definitely exceed imagination.
The fans are looking forward to it, but Tang Tian turned and put himself into preparations for the new season.
结束 The end of the summer league also means the dissolution of this Rockets team, and the players’ stay is the next top priority.
Needless to say, Millsap, the Rockets signed a 1 + 1 standard second-round show contract with him (110,000 full guarantee in the first year, 690,000 guarantee in the second year, but with the team Options).
Jon Novak also received the same contract, which is not to say that he and Millsap have similar abilities, but that this is the largest contract the team can give.
This is a rookie’s own rookie, and the signing is natural.
However, the situation is different for the other three freelancers who perform well.
Barria is a losing draft. His summer league average of 9.6 points and 3.6 assists played a good tandem effect. With Tang Tian’s fight, the Rockets finally gave him a 1 + 1 + 1 each year. The team option has no guaranteed contract at the end of the year.
As a losing draft, Barria eventually accepted the contract.
Hayes is a sophomore. Although he spent most of last season in the D-League, he also played for the Rockets. This summer, he averaged 2.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists. In the end, the two sides negotiated. After that, a one-year $ 660,000 guarantee contract was signed.
Bynum is also a sophomore. He averaged 12 points and 2 assists per game. The Rockets opened him with a three-year unsecured contract similar to Barria, but he chose to go to overseas leagues for development.
In this way, of the five players Tang Tian used in the summer league, four successfully signed, and entered the Rockets preseason roster.
He also fulfilled his original commitment to these players.
After successfully signing the contract, these people immediately called Tang Tian to express their gratitude.
I have no doubt that they are the first “fighting units” Tang Tian harvested in the NBA.
Ended the summer league because the preseason will not start until at least October, and the Rockets coaching team can finally have some relaxation time.
However, Tang Tian was not idle. In the first year after crossing, there was always a lot of time to be busy.
He helped McGrady cure his back injury. McGrady gave him 100,000. In addition to his salary as a teaching assistant, he now has about $ 200,000 in working capital.
虽然 Although the money is not much, it is not too small.
Although I don’t know everything about the past, but in 2006, if I want to get rich, getting stocks is obviously my choice.
之前 Before the Great Depression of 2008, buying stocks and buying stocks made money.
Of course, as a traverser, Tang Tian actually wants to buy stocks, naturally he wants to buy the best.
He set his sights on the domestic stock market, China Shipbuilding, Zijin Mining … These stocks that shocked the country at the beginning, and turned over a hundred times were the best investment targets.
He invested most of his money. Although it is not enough to be a shareholder, he still has hundreds of thousands of shares.
天 After finishing investing, Tang Tian left for China.
On the one hand, I want to go back to China to see something in my memory, and on the other hand, I naturally want to see Yao Ming.
Compared to other international players, Yao Ming is one of the busiest players in the summer as a Chinese player. Even if he suffered a serious left ankle injury last season, he still needs to fight for the country for many games.
Yao Ming has only played in the NBA for only 8 years as the No. 1 pick. In addition to the reasons for Van Gundy’s weight gain, the continuous and uninterrupted game, from the NBA to the national team, is also one of the important reasons.
As one of countless Rockets fans, Tang Tiantian apparently did not want this to happen again after crossing.
一周 One week after returning to China, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Tang Tian finally met him at Yao Ming’s home in Shanghai.
It is exactly the same as the face on the playing field in 2006 in memory. The only difference, probably, is that he has not exercised for a long time after the injury, and he has slowly felt Yao Riyue.
Yao Yao was obviously surprised and excited. He knew the Rockets changed the first assistant coach, but he did not expect the first assistant church to travel back to China to find him.
Because everyone is Chinese, communication is very convenient.
Han Han uttered a few words and took Yao Ming’s parents away. Tang Tian then talked with Yao Ming about the Rockets and his ankle injury next season.
“Millsap and you are a very suitable partner, although it looks like he may need some time to grow up.” Tang Tian said naturally the good news first. You must know that Yao Ming’s four-year partner has only three players. Word description, weak burst.
“Well, I watched some highlights of his summer league, it is really suitable, you really have a set of people.” Yao Ming gave thumbs up to Tang Tian.
Tangtian smiled. After he put away the smile, he hesitated, and then said, “Dayao, is it okay to call it that? Anyway, I am younger than you.”
“It’s okay.” Yao Ming hurriedly waved his hands. Tang Tian could be an NBA assistant coach at such a young age. His abilities were there, and his achievements would never be low. At this time, his attitude was so low. He was somewhat flattered.
“I know that you value the national team game and respect the discipline of the national team, but for your career considerations, I suggest that you still do not participate in so many national team games.” Tang Tian said, looking after that, Looking straight at Yao Ming.
To be honest, he also has some bottoms. You must know that Yao Ming participates in so many national team games, many of which are because he wants to participate.
