Chapter 231 - Popovich

Tang Tian didn't go to the press conference, he took a shower, and then went back to rest.

But as soon as he walked out of the locker room, he found Walker walking towards him with a smile on his face.

"Kemba?"

Tang Tian was surprised by Walker's appearance.

"How did you come?"

In the past, he hugged Walker with a smile, and Tang Tian then asked.

"I was right there. After watching the whole game, I knew you would find your touch in the second half. You are the man who beat Duke."

Walker had a smile on his face.

"Are you at the scene? I didn't find you, and you didn't say hello to me in advance."

Tang Tian said with some surprise, Walker didn't call him, he really didn't expect it.

"I see you, your attention is on sexy girls."

Walker said with a little "jealousy" at the moment.

Tang Tian smiled awkwardly, and then dragged Walker to have supper together.

"You don't accompany sexy girls?"

"She's gone back."

He had already greeted Olsen after the previous game.

And even without saying hello, brothers are still more important than women.

The two haven't seen each other since the last All-Star, and it's full of topics to get together again now.

"I've started training with Klay in New York."

Walker spoke in exchange.

Tang Tian is going to play in the playoffs, but he doesn't need to. He will usher in a long offseason after the regular season.

"I will join you after I finish the playoffs."

Tang Tian's plan is to get more endorsements this offseason, and then exchange for new blue skills to improve himself.

But no matter what new skill it is, the training will definitely not be able to run.

"Well, Kyrie (Irving) didn't come. He seems to have other plans. Speaking of which, he should be the best rookie of the year."

Walker nodded and said with a little envy.

The NBA is different from the NCAA. Back then he and Tang Tian defeated Irving together, but it was a team victory.

The NBA talks about talent, at least from the rookie season, Irving is the most talented rookie.

"Kemba, don't say that. You are also very good. We will play for ten or even twenty years. The future is uncertain."

Tang Tian encouraged.

Walker nodded.

Those who are close to Zhu Zhechi are close to ink are black. He has been losing for a season with the Hornets, and he has become very depressed.

But after chatting with Tang Tian for a few words, he became positive again.

It was not without reason that he called Tang Tian his life mentor when he got the MOP.

"I'll come to watch your game when I'm free. You don't know, that guy Klay is so excited by you that he doesn't go to nightclubs now."

Before parting, Walker said with a smile.

Thompson finally stopped going to nightclubs?

It seems that he has realized the truth that women are not as fun as basketball?

After the first game, Tang Tian kissed the braided rope bracelet and became the big picture of ESPN's post-match flash news, which immediately ushered in a wave of heated discussions among fans.

"I swear on my treasured AJ11, this bracelet is definitely made up by a woman!"

"You've found a great secret guy, I always thought Don wasn't interested in women!"

"Well, as the player I stabbed, it is easy for people to have such a misunderstandingㄟ(▔，▔)ㄏ"

"You are all wrong. Orientals treat women more conservatively. You know that Yao has had very few scandals in his eight years of career."

"Not necessarily~ One of my buddies belongs to the paparazzi, and he has photographed Tang eating with a woman who looks exactly like the Olsen sisters!"

"Really? Ask for a picture link."

"Agreed!"

...

The next game between the Spurs and the Mavericks is still in San Antonio, but counting the game day, there will be three days of rest in between.

This day was an offseason, and Popovich organized a daily shooting practice in the afternoon.

The team shot poorly in the first half of the first game, and this area really needs more practice.

If they play so anxiously every game, it will consume too much for the Spurs.

After training, the Spurs players returned to the locker room to rest.

"Guys, good news!" Everyone was packing their things, Ginobili suddenly shouted.

"The old man won the head coach of the season again!" Ginobili said a little excitedly.

There is a reason why he was so excited. The last time Popovich won the best head coach was in the 2002-03 season.

He had just joined the league at the time, and even Parker was only a sophomore.

It's been almost ten years now.

There were shouts and whistles in the locker room, the honor went to Popovich, but who doesn't like playing under the best head coach?

"Let's find a way to celebrate the coach."

Parker suggested at this time.

This proposal was quickly responded by the players, and the atmosphere of the Spurs really has nothing to say.

Everyone expressed their opinions, and Dior's proposal was quickly agreed by most people.

They were going to serve Popovich with champagne!

Tang Tian was speechless when he heard this. He was confronted by Walker and the others when he was at UConn before, and he was almost confronted by Green during Career Night.

Do all Americans like to play this?

But they are bold enough to want to woo the coach.

After the idea is settled, the next step is who will draw the lottery.

Get some post-it notes, find two to write on, and throw them together to grab them.

Everyone took it, and then opened it all in person.

In the end, everyone burst out laughing, it turned out to be Duncan and Tang Tian!

Shi Buddha stayed there when he saw that he was selected, he really didn't expect that he would have a day like Popovich...

But Tang Tian was in a rare good mood, he also had a day like Popovich!

"Is this champagne vintage?"

But before that, Tang Tian still confirmed the type of champagne. If it tastes like Kangda's, it will be a good thing and a bad thing.

"Don't worry, it's the same as the last time it was sprayed on me."

Ginobili said at this time, last time Green sprayed him all over by mistake.

The person was chosen, and the champagne was ready. Tang Tian and Duncan each held a champagne and stood at the door. Ginobili went to the office to find Popovich.

The teammates behind him tried their best to hold their laughter, Tang Tian turned to look at Duncan.

The expression of the "Stone Buddha" is rare at this time, and if it wasn't for Dio's proposal, he probably wouldn't do such a thing in his life.

Footsteps gradually came from outside the door, and the two began to shake champagne.

Footsteps came from far to near, and the voices of Popovich and Ginobili soon reached the door.

The lock is turned and the door is opened.

"Champagne!"

Following the shouts of their teammates, both Tang Tian and Duncan let go of their thumbs that were blocking the bottle, and the champagne poured directly onto Popovich.

Before the old man understood what was going on, he was already wet in an instant...

"Coach, congratulations on winning the best head coach."

Tang Tian's reaction was relatively quick, and he said directly and quickly.

The teammates behind him also whistled and applauded.

Only then did Popovich realize what he was doing.

"Whose idea?"

He walked into the locker room, but with a straight face, looking a little angry.

The locker room fell silent.

Is this overkill?

It seems a bit, although Popovich is usually very close to them, but after all, this is not a special occasion like winning the championship.

No one spoke, and since it was done, the team members were ready to bear the burden.

Dio was about to speak at this moment.

"Remember to use red wine next time you do this kind of thing, I like that taste better."

But Popovich suddenly said with a smile the next second.

This old man is not angry at all, he is teasing them!
