Chapter 990 Irving Doesn’t Want to Play with James

George wants to come to the Pelicans, and so does Irving? !

New Orleans, a city that no star would want to come to, has now become a hot spot that stars are chasing after!

But this is also reasonable. The Pelicans have won two consecutive championships, and with Tang Tian, ​​the "active Jordan" here, they will have the opportunity to win three consecutive championships.

This kind of opportunity to be momentarily exposed to the spotlight is something everyone would want to fight for.

And one thing Irving has an advantage over George is that he is a member of the hard-training brothers!

Being together every summer, the possibility of integrating into the Pelicans is much higher than George.

Tang Tian never spoke.

If Irving comes, it will really be brother basketball.

"I'm coming to New Orleans. I'll be there by night."

Owen heard that Tang Tian didn't respond, and then spoke again.

"good."

Tang Tian agreed, it was better to communicate in person for this kind of thing.

His attitude is the same as George before, and even before Westbrook, he doesn't have much interest in team basketball.

And Irving's situation is even more special.

Owen arrived as promised and arrived at Tang Tian's manor before dinner, just in time for dinner.

The two of them chatted while eating.

"What's the reason you want to leave the Cavaliers?"

Tang Tian was not in a hurry to express his position, but asked Owen first.

"I don't like playing next to LeBron."

Owen hesitated for a while and finally spoke.

"You don't know the fans in Cleveland, you don't know what they said about me after this year's finals!"

Owen said getting angry.

"They said that I was a defensive black hole, that I was invisible at critical moments, that there was a difference between me and Davis, that I was not worthy of my reputation and was more suitable for exhibition games. They... they only said these things, but I got it in G5 30 points but they turned a blind eye.”

"I know no one can be 100 percent satisfied, but I don't know why they can be unhappy with anything about me."

"The wins are all due to LeBron, and the losses are all due to me, Kevin, Hassan, us. Have you ever seen a team like this?"

Owen followed up with a series of very aggrieved words.

It can be seen that he really doesn't want to play with James anymore.

Before Owen came, Tang Tian had thought up some words to appease him, but after hearing what Owen said, he put those words aside.

There are many things that you can't understand without being involved in them.

Perhaps this is what Bosh, Love, and even Wade need to experience.

It's just that Irving's personality is more radical than theirs. After all, he was also the No. 1 pick and was considered the chosen one when he entered the league.

"You should have experienced the pressure of being the core of the team and you know how difficult it is."

Tang Tian thought for a while and said.

Before James returned to Cleveland, Irving's performance in leading the Cavaliers alone was not good, ranking last in the Eastern Conference for consecutive years.

And he knows that Irving's life after leaving the Cavaliers in his previous life was not as good as during his time with the Cavaliers, and he was questioned much more than when he was with the Cavaliers.

There is no regret medicine in the world. After all, Owen is his hard-working brother. If Tang Tian can save him, he still wants to save him.

"I don't want to be the team boss, I just want to leave Cleveland and leave LeBron."

Owen then said firmly.

Tang Tian looked at him and knew that he had made up his mind.

"You said before that you wanted to come to New Orleans?"

Tang Tian did not persuade him to stay, but continued to ask.

"You are here."

Irving's answer was quite straightforward.

"I don't recommend you do this. Let's not say whether it can be successful. Even if it is successful, the pressure you have to bear is not something you can bear."

Tang Tian continued.

Because George has designated his next destination, he is almost drowned in the fans' saliva, and he also has the lessons learned from Durant.

Speaking of which, Irving is also a member of the Cavaliers and was defeated by the Pelicans.

If he really wanted to come to the Pelicans, it would be a combination of George and Durant, and they would designate the next team + switch to the enemy during the contract period.

Not to mention that Irving has at least two more years left on his contract, which is longer than George's contract.

After listening to what Tang Tian said, Owen was silent for a long time.

He just wanted to leave the Cavaliers and James and go to a team he wanted to go to. He had never considered this.

But Tang Tian said that he found that this was indeed inappropriate.

"Then I go to Boston! Danny Ainge contacted me a long time ago. They are rebuilding and have good potential."

Owen continued.

It turns out that Anji, an old fox, has been on the line with Irving for a long time.

"what do you think?"

Seeing that Tang Tian didn't express his position, Owen asked.

He is really young and looks like the same reckless kid he did when he first entered the league.

"I don't recommend you go there."

"Why?"

"Your style of play doesn't fit that team, and the fans there are too harsh, Boston's tradition."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

He won't say that I know it won't be easy if you go.

But there's nothing wrong with what he said. Iron-bloodedness is the label of the Celtics, and this label really doesn't match Irving.

As for the fans, Boston fans are arrogant, and they may not be lighter than those in Cleveland.

"Do you have any suggestions?"

Owen finally looked at Tang Tian for help.

Tang Tian's stability is not only known by the Pelicans management, but also by their hard-working brothers.

"New York, or Los Angeles, the Nets, or the Lakers, the Clippers."

Tang Tian thought for a while and said.

Irving's biggest characteristic is his gorgeous style of play. A gorgeous style of play does not necessarily require a record, it is enough to have fans supporting him.

If we really talk about achievements, Iverson didn't win a single championship at the time, but he was more famous than most superstars at the same time. The reason was his style of play.

After all, basketball is played for people to watch. Winning is great, but not many people would like to watch the Pistons play like that.

On the contrary, many people like Irving's dribbling.

So Metropolis is Irving's best choice.

"I see."

After hearing what Tang Tian said, Owen suddenly became enlightened.

"Actually, I still recommend that you stay in Cleveland until the end of your contract."

In the end, Tang Tian gave a suggestion.

The Cavaliers have James, and although they often finish second in the championship, there is not much suspense about reaching the Finals in the Eastern Conference.

Being able to reach the finals is actually exposure, and Irving's contract is only for 2 years, so leaving at that time will not have any negative consequences.

"No, I've decided that I won't stay there any longer."

But Irving is very firm on this point.

It seems that he really doesn't like playing next to James.

Tang Tian didn't say anything after hearing this. Although he could give suggestions, not every suggestion would be accepted.
