Chapter 556

Seeing Jokic's expression, Tang Tian was really angry and wanted to laugh.

Fortunately, Jokic looks very obedient.

This fat should still be able to be reduced.

After returning home from the evening training, Tang Tian and Olsen had a video call for a while.

Olsen is now busy with filming in Los Angeles.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian found that there was an extra text message from Yao Ming in his phone.

I asked him if he was asleep.

He called back and chatted for a while about running for the chairman of the Basketball Association.

Those bosses in the Sports Bureau are similar to the group of people in charge of the Basketball Association. They had good results in the last Olympic Games, and their enthusiasm for seeking change is very low.

If the top doesn't want to move, it's useless for the people below to toss about.

"I will support you."

Tang Tian gave Yao Ming an affirmative answer.

This is also the promise he made to Yao Ming.

After hanging up the phone, he asked Karl to contact Zhang Weiping in the United States, saying that he wanted an exclusive interview.

After arranging the time, Tang Tian and Zhang Weiping had an exclusive interview in a room the next morning. The content of the interview was related to the chairman of the Basketball Association and the Olympic Games.

Yao Ming's domestic influence is very large. After he announced his candidacy for the chairman of the Basketball Association, it aroused a lot of public opinion among fans and the media.

But this kind of public opinion has not been transformed into help, and it is still close to the door.

What Tang Tian is doing now is this kick.

"If Yao Ming cannot be elected as the new president of the Basketball Association, I will not go to the Rio Olympics in two years' time."

"Is this sure?"

"Sure, and very sure."

In the interview, Tang Tian said something very absolute.

This exclusive interview was broadcast by Tencent in the afternoon, and quickly made the headlines of major media.

Tang Tian's influence in China today is not even limited to basketball or the sports world.

This kind of shabby remarks made those high-level officials scold their mothers, but there was nothing they could do about it.

Tang Tian is not part of the system, they have nothing to do.

They are conformists, but they are not stupid. They know exactly how the results of the London 2012 Olympic Games came about.

Moreover, the current Tang Tian is not the same as the Tang Tian at that time. Without Tang Tian, ​​the loss of the national team's strength by half is an understatement.

No one can afford this responsibility.

"CBA will be separated from the basketball center..."

"CBA will establish its own basketball association, which will be a non-governmental organization different from the basketball management center..."

"Yao Ming is a popular candidate for the chairman of the Basketball Association..."

The domestic news broke one by one, and Tang Tian's exclusive interview was like a guillotine, forcing the high-level executives to do it.

Seeing these positive news, Tang Tian was in a good mood.

Speaking of which, it's the same everywhere, if you want to speak with weight, you have to have enough weight yourself.

If it was two years ago, no one in the Sports Bureau would have liked him, but the situation is completely different now.

It's the same in the NBA. Silver dared to blatantly black the Pelicans last season. If he becomes the star of the league in the future and also serves as the chairman of the union, he will have no less right to speak than Silver.

You must know that in the NBA, labor and management are in the relationship of employment and employment, and it is also a cooperative relationship, and it will not work without either party.

Of course, those are still things in the future. After finishing the interview, Tang Tian focused on the game against the Heat.

The Heat lost James and Bosh during the offseason, and now Wade leads the team with a single core.

Speaking of it, thanks to Gary Neal last season, Wade's injuries are much better than in history, and he can still serve as the core of a team at this time.

However, Riley has no other major operations other than signing Wade, and the Heat are obviously starting to rebuild.

As for signing Wade, it's just selling tickets and filling the poor line.

Facing such an opponent, the goal of the Pelicans must be to win the opponent's winning streak.

Before the start of the game, the players of both teams were making final preparations in the locker room.

Whiteside's excitement was visible to the naked eye.

He had a solid preseason, but played very little in the opener due to foul trouble.

Just like the doubts of the reporters at the press conference after the game, the reports of the outside media after the game even said that he was almost the same as last season.

This is a very infuriating thing, knowing that he has basically been training brothers training camp every day this past summer.

Now the new competition is his best chance to prove himself.

The New Orleans Arena is packed.

After last season, the ball market in New Orleans has been completely activated. Coupled with the Pelicans' victory over the Trail Blazers in the first game, the fans are even more enthusiastic.

Moreover, although the opponent Heat team's strength has been greatly reduced, they are also the defending champions anyway.

Evenly matched games are good-looking, and this kind of game that ravages the defending champion is also exciting.

After the opening ceremony, the starting lineups of the two teams were released one after another.

On the Heat side, Chalmers and Wade on the outside, James Ennis and Josh McRoberts on the striker, and Chris Anderson at the center.

The Pelicans have a regular lineup, with Holiday and Tang Tian on the outside, Ariza and Davis on the front, and Whiteside at the center.

Whiteside was excited, and Davis gave him the chance to jump the ball this time.

It was Anderson who jumped the ball with him.

Anderson, nicknamed "Birdman", has an amazing bounce. Although he is old, he can still jump very well.

The referee threw the ball high into the air, and Whiteside jumped up from the line and used his wingspan to get the ball back to the Pelicans half court.

Although a personal jump ball was changed, the Pelicans still got the chance to attack first.

Tang Tian caught the ball in front of Ennis.

Ennis was a second-round pick last year and only signed a contract with the Heat this year, so he can be considered a rookie.

But he's slender and has great wingspan, making him a good defensive wing.

Tang Tian accelerated and passed him in one step.

Breaking into the inside, Mike Roberts assisted in the defense, and Tang Tian immediately knocked the ball to Davis at the free throw line.

With the Turtle Bombing, his breakthrough has become easier than before, and he is really more comfortable handling the ball than last season.

And unlike last season, his main goal now is not to score and compete for the scoring champion, but to lead the team to more victories.

So he doesn't have to charge forward every game. Playing with the current Heat just happens to give his teammates a chance to increase the ball.

Davis' mid-range shot from the free throw line.

"boom!"

The basketball bounced out of the hoop.

At the beginning of the game, he still hadn't found the touch.

Anderson jumped up at the basket to close the defensive rebound.

But at this moment, a figure leaped high from behind him, grabbing the ball with both hands.

Anderson was caught off guard and was thrown out in the air.

"Boom!"

Holding back his strength, Whiteside made a dunk with both hands, went behind Anderson in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket hard!
