Chapter 332 We Need The Godfather (2/10)
Chapter 332 We Need The Godfather (210)
On the second day, Tang Tian arrived in New Orleans with the team, and will start the second game of the season with the Hornets.
The Hornets began to rebuild after Paul left the team, and the attention of fans plummeted. Fortunately, Anthony Davis was successfully selected this season, and the fans are full of expectations for the future.
The team is about to play against the Spurs, which has also attracted a wave of heated discussions among fans on social media.
"The last time he played against the Spurs, AD (short for Anthony Davis) scored 25 points and 11 rebounds. He was full of energy when he was facing Duncan."
"That's why we're still watching this team, AD is our future!"
"Our lineup is actually not bad, Vasquez plus Eric Gordon on the perimeter, Aminu and AD on the front, Robin Lopez at the center, Ryan Anderson and Austin Rivers on the bench .”
"Yeah, our roster is underrated, Vasquez can give us 14 points and 9 assists a night, Ryan also has 17 points and 7 rebounds a night off the bench, and we won't be back in a few seasons. Playoffs!"
"Should we change coaches? Tim Williams doesn't look like he can do anything without Paul."
"No, man, Williams is a great coach, his development of AD is visible to the naked eye, we need to be patient."
"It's really a pity. I'm actually looking forward to the combination of Paul and AD. AD will eat cakes until he vomits."
"With Paul on the team we can't be bad, we can't have AD without bad, so let's forget about Paul, I heard we're going to change the name soon, so this is our freshman, it's like Our city is the same."
"Yes, according to insiders, it seems that the name was changed to Pelican."
"Pelican? What's that?"
"Brother, you must be an otaku. You should go out more to see the outside world. Even if you don't go out, you should use Google more. It's the state bird of our state!"
"Yes, that would be a popular name, it's a beautiful waterfowl and everyone loves it!"
"Wow, I just searched, it's really beautiful."
"Speaking of which, actually I think we should probably try to offer Don next summer. He scored 22 points, 5 assists and 3 steals against us last game. He can bring defense, three-pointers, and passing. He is The kind of three we need the most."
"Don is the No. 3 that all teams in the league want. The key is that he is still so young."
"Brother, your idea is really good. Next summer, Okafor's previous big contract is over, and Kaman's contract is also over. At that time, we will all have to find a way to sign free agents to fill the poor line. We have enough Cap space, and for years to come!"
"I can't wait for Wanliang!"
...
Hornets fans paid a lot of attention to this game, but for the Spurs, this is just an ordinary game in January.
Davis hasn't grown up yet, and he can only eat cakes and block shots. Gordon, as a short guard, has a significantly lower upper limit after injury, and other role players are not very competitive in the West.
However, as a young team, they played very tenaciously at home and stalemate with the Spurs until the fourth quarter.
But in the last quarter, they suffered a complete loss in experience, and finally lost 87 to 103.
Tang Tian was in a good mood after receiving the endorsement fee before the game, and he had a strong desire to make shots during the game, and he felt overwhelming.
He scored 9 three-pointers and scored 30 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.
Among them, the score set a new season high, and also tied his career scoring record in a single game.
After the game, Tang Tian's outstanding performance also triggered another wave of heated discussions among Hornets fans on social media.
"30 points! He completely beat Aminu, the gap is really too big, really, I can't think of a reason why we won't offer Don next year!"
"He will be the best helper around AD!"
"Look at the help he brings to the Spurs now, he will be our Scottie Pippen!"
"In the future, we will need him to play against Durant, against Harden, against those powerful small forwards and shooting guards in the West!"
"Dell Demps (Hornets general manager), did you hear that? We need Don! We need Godfather!"
...
The hot discussion of the Hornets has not yet fallen.
The Spurs flew to Charlotte the next day to play against the Bobcats.
Walker's performance this season is eye-catching. Without much change in the lineup, the Bobcats are now ranked ninth in the Eastern Conference and have a chance to hit the playoffs.
Winning Walker in advance by means of signing and changing, and using a season to level up Walker, has become the most eye-catching operation of Jordan's boss career so far.
The strength of Walker and the Bobcats has improved significantly, but they are still a bit behind the Spurs.
Walker scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, but the team still lost 81 to 101.
Tang Tian continued his good touch, scoring 5 three-pointers and scoring 20 points, 5 assists, 5 steals and 1 block.
After the game, like the fans of the Hornets, the fans of the Bobcats also recruited Tang Tian on social media.
And because of the relationship between Walker and Tang Tian who won the championship together at UConn University, this kind of voice is even stronger.
But Tang Tian didn't pay attention to these. After the game, he and Walker went out for supper together.
"Kemba, you've made great progress!"
Tang Tian praised Walker as soon as he sat down.
Walker has indeed improved a lot, especially in passing and organization.
It is somewhat similar to him, because the pass is also threatened, and Walker's breakthrough is more lethal.
"However, you still have to practice on the three-pointer. You will be targeted just by breaking through to a certain level."
For Kobe, Tang Tian was paid advice, but for Brother Walker, he was completely free.
Walker nodded, he listened to everything his good brother said.
"That's it! You're no worse than that Kyle guy!"
Tang Tian clinked glasses with Walker.
Because of Augustine's trade, Walker got more exercise last season.
Coupled with the continuous hard training during the offseason with him, when he develops the three-point shooting ability earlier, his development prospects may not be worse than Irving.
"Don, come to Charlotte, like we did in Connecticut."
Walker nodded and said suddenly.
"I've seen the discussion of many fans on social media. If many teams offer the Spurs poison contract, as long as the Spurs don't match, then it's entirely up to you to choose where to go."
Walker continued.
Tang Tian glanced at Walker and smiled.
As a good brother, Walker said that this question is not a big problem.
"And if the Spurs do encounter a poison contract, they may not necessarily match it. They have never paid a large luxury tax for anyone."
Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Walker then added.
