If he remembered correctly, Leonard's injury this time was worse than everyone expected.

And what's even more fatal is that there are injuries and communication problems with the team, and Leonard and the Spurs completely fell out.

New Orleans is not far from San Antonio, and they arrive at the airport soon.

He called Duncan and confirmed that he was there, and the two of them called directly.

About an hour later, they arrived at the auto repair shop where Duncan was.

This is a store that is larger than many 4S stores in China, covering an area of ​​several acres. The words "Tim's Repair Shop" at the door are very eye-catching.

It can be seen that Duncan's car repair hobby has been booming after he retired.

Duncan seemed to be busy. After they arrived at the store, they sat in the rest area for a while.

Tang Tian looked around and suddenly found something very familiar.

He got up and walked over.

It was a wall-mounted window with many car models in it.

At the most obvious position at the top, there is a model of a car, Dodge War Horse 1969.

The reason why Tang Tian looks familiar is that this car model is a gift he gave to Duncan before he returned to San Antonio to play against the Spurs for the first time after he arrived in New Orleans.

"Do you like this? I'll buy it for you."

Davis also came over at some point. Seeing that Tang Tian's eyes were on the car model, he couldn't help but speak.

Tang Tian was stunned after hearing this, and then laughed.

Let Davis spend money to buy back what he gave to Duncan, well, this idea is actually pretty good.

"Tang."

Just as he was smiling, Tang Tian heard a familiar voice.

The two turned around and then saw Duncan looking at them with a smile.

Well, after Duncan retired, he became a laughing boy.

Davis was stunned.

Tang Tian only told him that he came to San Antonio to meet a friend, but he did not say that he was meeting Duncan.

After coming back to his senses, he felt a little excited.

Duncan is the undisputed No. 1 power forward in the NBA history. Although the two have had a fight on the field before, this kind of private meeting is still very different.

But the next second he felt a little sad.

He saw Duncan greet Tang Tian, ​​and then Duncan habitually touched Tang Tian's head.

This scene looks familiar to Bei'er!

He has been with Tang Tian for four years, and has been touched like this for four years!

Now look at Duncan's method of touching people, it turns out that he is the culprit!

"Anthony."

Duncan then came over to say hello to Davis.

Just when Davis thought he was going to be touched, Duncan reached out and shook his hand.

It seems that this is a way to express intimacy.

Seeing this, Tang Tian felt a little sorry for Davis.

In the past, I had too little krypton gold value and could not see Duncan's skills.

But after watching it, he gained a new understanding of his performance with the Spurs.

Duncan's red skill "Stone Buddha" contains a passive skill "Head Touching" which increases the performance stability of the person being touched by 10%.

At that time, he knew that his stable performance during the Spurs was, in addition to his personal abilities, he also had the blessing of this skill.

It is still worth a few strands of hair, and there is a reason for Ginobili to output stably.

It's a pity that Davis is not so lucky.

The three of them sat down and started chatting.

At the beginning, we talked about Duncan’s car repair shop.

He had only heard Ginobili talk about it at the Olympics before, but he didn't expect that he would be very good.

When he was with the Spurs before, he also heard Ginobili say that Duncan was a swimming champion before.

It seems that Duncan is really an all-rounder. Even if he doesn't fight NBA, he can still do a great career in other aspects.

Of course, talking about car repairs and even car models is just a daily chat.

This time I came to San Antonio specifically, and the main reason was not because of this.

"I want you to come to my boot camp to coach ad."

Tang Tian said his intentions.

Although I have confidence in my absolute strength, what Bucks general manager Jon Horst said before makes sense.

Any lineup will have a running-in problem. With different tacit understandings of the same lineup, the effect of the same lineup will be completely different.

Previously, the Pelicans' lineup was able to defend their title continuously. In addition to Tang Tian's personal strength growth, it is also a major reason for maintaining the core lineup for a long time.

However, running-in takes time, and to reduce the running-in time, stronger personal abilities are required.

Just like Team USA, a bunch of All-Star players can win the championship in one or two months because their personal strength is above their opponents.

This theory is also suitable for the Pelicans.

It's not just Tang Tian who wants to improve his ball control and further strengthen his strength, but also against Walker, Butler and Davis.

Davis' low-level technology has made great progress in recent years, but his performance has always been unstable.

To change this, it is most appropriate to find Duncan.

Duncan is the most stable inside player with low post skills, and after Davis grows to 2.11 meters, his body shape is very similar to Duncan, and he will get twice the result with half the effort when training.

"no problem."

Duncan agreed without thinking much.

In fact, it can be seen from the placement of the car model in the window that Tang Tian is very important in Duncan's heart.

He doesn't really make a living by repairing cars, it's just a hobby.

Moreover, being able to train a talented player like Davis is also a very anticipated thing for him who has retired and become a celebrity.

Things went smoothly. After a while of conversation, Duncan prepared to invite them to lunch.

But before that, Duncan said that there was another acquaintance coming, and threw them in the repair shop first, and then drove out to pick them up by himself.

"Tang, you are so lucky to meet such an easy-going superstar when you first entered the league."

When Duncan left, Davis couldn't help but sigh.

Every super giant has a personality, Kobe is paranoid, Iverson is unfair, James is cautious in his words and actions, but Duncan is really easy-going.

He won't object to you no matter what you say, and he loves to laugh.

Yes, he only found out that Duncan loved to laugh so much.

"Ahem, am I not easy-going?"

Tang Tian said with a smile, and after that, he reached out and touched Davis' head.

This guy, like him before, has already made his head a last bit.

Just like him during the Spurs, he was the last stubbornness.

A little thorny, a little comfortable.

“Easy-at-all-easy.”

Davis hurriedly shrank his neck.

It took me about an hour to wait before Duncan came back.

The acquaintance he said was also here.

Holding a bottle of red wine in my hand, my hair was gray and dusty.

"I'll do it, how long has it been since you, a kid, had you drunk with me?"

Popovich looked at Tang Tian, ​​blushed and radiant.
Chapter completed!
