The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Chapter 188 The Script in the Room (1/5)

The Spurs flew to New York, and this was Tang Tian's first return to this city after the draft.

The teammates rested at the hotel, and Tang Tian took a taxi to the Olympic Tower Building.

This is an independent building, and there are three big characters of "NBA" clearly written on the top of the gate.

There is also an iron statue at the door, which is a player carrying a globe, and I don't know what it means.

Entering from the main entrance, you can see a variety of classic old photos and jerseys displayed in the windows on both sides.

Tang Tian took a look at the dunks from Carter and the roar from Garnett. The front jersey was actually John Wall's.

After he watched it for a while, a staff member led him to the league office.

He was received by an old acquaintance, Mark Tatum, who announced his selection in the draft, and he was also Stern's chief assistant.

"Congratulations. When I was in New Jersey, I knew you would succeed." Tatum spoke very politely, which gave a good first impression.

"Thank you." Tang Tian smiled and shook hands with Tatum.

"Your English is very good, but I prefer Chinese, although I'm still learning." Tatum's next words made Tang Tian a little confused.

"In fact, I have a quarter of Chinese blood." But what he said next solved this doubt.

Tang Tian was very surprised. He could see that Tatum had Asian blood, but he didn't expect that there was Chinese. This is very interesting.

At least it's much more interesting than that Adam Silver.

The topic of Chinese narrowed the distance between the two, and after some exchanges, the relationship deepened a lot.

There is a trophy for the best rookie of the month, but it is not an award after all. There is no news media or reporters, only an official photographer of the league.

Take a photo of them holding the trophy together under the "NBA" logo, and the process is complete.

The trophy was made of glass, a disk of glass glued to an iron base.

If it weren't for the silhouette of "logo man" Jerry West on the glass, it would be really worthless to watch.

But after all, this was the first trophy he won in the NBA, and Tang Tian was still in a good mood.

There is an unwritten saying in the NBA called the best spell.

As long as you get the best, it doesn't matter if you get it for the season, month, or week, whether you get the best coach or the best player, the next game after you get it is going to be bad.

Tang Tian didn't escape the curse by any means. His hand feeling that night was the coldest since he joined the Spurs.

He took 10 shots and hit 2 times, and only scored 5 points, but Popovich still gave him 27 minutes of playing time, because he can still provide defense for the team.

In addition to 5 points, Tang Tian also contributed 2 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Landry Fields and Iman Shumpert on the opposite side of the defense were a little suspicious of life.

The Spurs also successfully won the opponent 92 to 85.

The Knicks struggled a bit, with Anthony scoring just 21 points on 7-for-16 shooting.

However, point guard Jeremy Lin performed well, contributing a team-high 20 points and 17 assists in 4 minutes off the bench.

After the game, Jeremy Lin took the initiative to chat with Tang Tian and asked him for his phone number.

Jeremy Lin is of Chinese descent, but growing up in the United States, his character is still more American.

After the game, Tang Tian took a shower and was about to go back to the hotel to rest, but he received a call from Olsen, saying that he was a little busy and asked him to help.

The game ended earlier, and he didn't call for additional practice tonight. In addition, Olsen tempted him with cakes on the phone, so he took a taxi directly to the manor.

It wasn't until he followed Olsen into the manor, and then took him into his room, that he realized why Olsen asked him to enter the room at night.

To the script!

Oh no, read the script.

"The Martian" is a novel with a relatively simple story line, and the script given by Ridley Scott is actually not complicated.

But for Olsen, this was her first time working in such a big production, so she went into great detail.

This movie was recommended by Tang Tian to Scott, and he also gave the general outline of the script, so Olsen called him here.

Seeing Olsen's expression of frowning, Tang Tian knew that she called him here really just because of the script.

"You watch for me first, and I'll get you a cake."

Tang Tian smiled wryly and nodded, he was really caught by Olson.

I wrote down some details of the script. After Tang Tian finished these things, he suddenly felt that it would be nice to be a part-time screenwriter.

But after finishing the modification, he found that Olsen hadn't come back yet.

He stood up and inadvertently glanced at the painkillers on the table next to the bed. It seemed that Olson had put a lot of energy into this movie.

Could this be fainting?

He walked out along the light, searched around and finally found her in the bathroom, wearing a vest, looking at the washing machine with a sad face.

"I'm sorry, I wanted to make a cup of coffee by the way, but I poured it on my shirt, and I couldn't wash it off." Olson said and rubbed his forehead.

"You haven't slept well these two days?" Tang Tian asked.

Olsen nodded, then reached out and tapped his forehead, looking a little headache.

This is normal, she puts a lot of energy into this movie, but she still can't do it well. It's strange that she doesn't have a headache after making a cup of coffee.

Tang Tian suddenly wanted to make her happy, looked at the white shirt in the washing machine and said, "I have a solution."

"Really?" Olsen asked expectantly.

Tang Tian nodded, then turned and left the bathroom.

He came back after a while, holding the painkiller tablets he saw in the room just now.

"Take a painkiller and the headache will go away." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"..."

Olsen couldn't help giving Tang Tian a blank look, and then couldn't help laughing.

Although Tang Tian was teasing her, her head did not hurt so much after laughing.

Seeing Olson smile, Tang Tian said hello and left the bathroom.

He came back with salt and dish soap from the kitchen, and this time he meant it.

He poured some of both into the washing machine and turned it on again.

"Let's go out." Tang Tian greeted Olsen to the living room.

The two chatted about the script while eating the cake, and they settled the matter in a short while.

Most of the gloom on Olsen's face had dissipated.

The washing machine in the bathroom stopped, and Tang Tian went to take out the clothes again.

When Olsen saw the white shirt that was as white as new, not only did his worries completely dissipate, but there was also a strange look in his eyes.

The charm of a man is not limited to appearance and conversation, and a very important point is that he can solve problems.

Tang Tian helped her finish the script again, and he was able to fix the coffee stains on the white shirt. At this time, the "bling-bling" was shining in front of her eyes.

ps: Ask for monthly tickets and recommended tickets~~

Chapter 189 Jefferson's Complaint (2/5) (Revised)

Tang Tian didn't live at Olson's house. When NBA teams played away games, they attached great importance to the personal safety of players.

Unless you report to the team, you will be punished if you stay out at night.

After eating the cake, Tang Tian went back to the hotel.

After the Spurs played the Knicks, they flew non-stop to Boston the next day to prepare for the game against the Celtics.

Frequent back-to-backs really make the old players suffer.

And it's not just mental, veteran players like Duncan and Parker both suffered from physical soreness.

Although it didn't affect the game, Popovich arranged for them to take turns.

Ginobili's injury made the old man have to be more careful.

Boston is the city with the best basketball atmosphere in the league, and their home stadium, the North Shore Garden Arena, is also one of the arenas with the strongest atmosphere in the league.

The Celtics are also one of the oldest giants in the league.

This is not an easy game, and Popovich will choose to rest the two cores in such a game.

The attendance rate of the arena for the game that night exceeded 8%, and Popovich did not let out any rumors before the rest of the game.

When they saw Duncan and Parker in suits and ties before the game, the fans frowned, and when the starters were introduced at the opening ceremony, they couldn't help booing.

The rest is not very friendly to fans.

But Popovich didn't care at all, and he was completely on the sidelines.

During the warm-up before the final match, Ray Allen came over to say hello to Tang Tian.

Although the senior from the University of Kang didn't really help him during the draft, he still took him very seriously.

During the exchange, Tang Tian could still feel that Ray Allen was not in a good mood.

This season he was troubled by injuries and did not perform well, and the team's low post also has a faint tendency to be replaced by rookie Avery Bradley.

The game started quickly, and the starters of the two teams appeared one after another.

For the Spurs, Parker and Duncan have a truce, Mills and Green are on the outside, Jefferson and Bonner are on the front line, and Blair is the center.

On the Celtics side, Rondo and Ray Allen are on the outside, Pierce and Garnett are on the front line, and O'Neal is the center.

Garnett got the first attack opportunity for the Celtics. With the tactical cooperation of the Celtics in the frontcourt, Ray Allen missed a three-pointer after running out of the tactics.

His competitive state is indeed mediocre.

Blair took the defensive rebound and the Spurs pushed to the frontcourt.

With Duncan and Parker absent, the team played more hammer tactics. Green seized the opportunity from the bottom corner and hit an open three-pointer. The Spurs turned away and took the lead.

The Celtics attacked the frontcourt, and Garnett missed the mid-range catch.

It seems that in the season with a dense schedule, the state of the veterans fluctuates greatly.

The Spurs' offense is still a hammer tactic. Mills broke through to the basket and caused O'Neal's thugs.

After making two free throws, the Spurs beat the Celtics 5-0 in the opening game.

Celtics coach Rivers cursed angrily on the sidelines.

Both Duncan and Parker rested, the Spurs are still back-to-back, and the team is still getting such a start, it is a shame.

The Celtics' tactics ran out, but Rondo's throw hadn't made it.

However, O'Neal used his wingspan advantage at this time to press Blair to grab an offensive rebound.

The ball was given to Rondo's organization, and Rondo handed the ball to Pierce to directly play his personal ability.

Pierce's back hit, Jefferson sank.

Pierce made a beautiful illusory turn past him and scored at the basket, finally breaking the scoring drought for the Celtics.

The Spurs' offense, Jefferson's breakthrough continued to add points for the Spurs.

But looking back, Pierce's outside line swayed away from Jefferson, and the dry three-pointer immediately returned the color.

After experiencing a short scoring drought in the opening game, "Truth" began to stand up and lead the team.

比赛打了5分钟左右，凯尔特人队以13比9领先，皮尔斯一人独得8分2助攻。

Popovich called Tang Tian up and asked him to replace Jefferson.

Tang Tian came on stage and gave Jefferson a routine high-five, but Jefferson directly ignored him. The latter looked very unhappy.
