When Jill saw his father's eyes, he quickly understood.

That good boy should be very important in my dad's heart.

She didn't ask again.

The two of them almost rummaged through the entire basement before taking out the bottle of wine in the innermost corner.

There is still half a bottle of wine left, but the value of this half bottle may be higher than the value of all the wines in this basement combined.

"I finally found you, please book a flight ticket to New York tomorrow."

Popovich picked up Jefferson wine and said happily.

After signing a quotation contract with the Pelicans, Tang Tian continued to turn around and train with the hard-training brothers.

The day ended the training, and Walker and the others were talking and laughing back to the apartment.

As a result, they were stunned as soon as they reached the door.

At the door was a dusty old man, holding a bottle of red wine in one hand and a bag of dried fruits in the other.

Seeing Tang Tian and the others coming, the old man showed a kind smile.

The expression was like saying, you are finally here.

“Bobo…”

"Kemba, let's go, didn't you say you would practice with me tonight?"

Before Walker could finish speaking, Butler pulled him back.

Irving and Thompson also reacted, said hello, and turned around and left quickly.

"Old man, why are you here?"

Tang Tian didn't expect Popovich would come at this time, and it was obvious that he came to drink with him.

He said that, and walked to the door to open the door.

“Look at this.”

Popovich did not answer Tang Tian, ​​but shook the wine in his hand.

You can smell the strong aroma of wine from a distance.

This wine has been stored for fifty or sixty years.

"You always wanted to drink Jefferson in 1874."

However, when Popovich mentioned the year of the wine, Tang Tian was still shocked.

Popovich actually got this wine!

But after being shocked, he also realized something.

After drinking for two years, I haven't drunk Popovich's wine, but Popovich found the ball at this point in time.

As long as you are not stupid, you know what that means.

At least, looking at Popovich's dusty appearance, it must have been not for celebration.

He is going to New Orleans next season.

"Then I must drink more, it's better to finish it, otherwise I'll lose a lot."

Tang Tian guessed it, but he was still very happy.

Popovich laughed.

After opening the door and entering, the two of them sat down, they drank and chatted.

"This was given to me by Peter when I was a coach. I don't know where the guy got it. I only had one drink at that time."

Popovich was talking about the origin of this bottle of Jefferson wine.

A wine of this level must have its story, especially now that it has been drunk half a bottle.

"In 1999, the Spurs won the championship for the first time, and I had a drink with that old guy David (Robinson).

Sure enough, without Tang Tianwen, Popovich told the story himself.

"Then in the summer of 2000, that guy Tim wanted to go to Orlando, and I just used a quarter of a bottle to keep him."

When talking about this, Popovich's expression was obviously bleeding.

"Tim still wants to go to Orlando?"

Tang Tian asked curiously.

"Yes, that guy was almost curled by the sugar-coated shells of those guys from Orlando. Yes, they all used Tiger Woods to get rid of it. Fortunately, he had this bottle of wine, so he finally stayed."

Popovich said and laughed loudly, and was still taking a sip.

"But I know, he never thought of leaving San Antonio."

Putting down the wine glass, Popovich said with emotion again.

"He's just that guy. He's just a naughty big kid who never grows up."

When Tang Tian heard this, he didn't say anything, so he picked up the wine glass and took a big sip.

"Yes, he's that kind of person."

After hearing that Duncan wanted to use retirement to leave his salary space for himself, he had already made a decision emotionally.

As long as the Spurs match, he will wait 2 years more.

Duncan, it was the reason why he made this decision.

But now it is not something he is willing to wait or not, it is something the Spurs are unwilling to match.

"It's good to go out. San Antonio is too small. It's suitable for an elderly person like me, not for a young man like you."

Popovich seemed to figure it out too.

Even if he really convinced Holt, it would not be easy to deal with the ball rights issue of Tang Tian and Leonard in the future.

Just like Carter and McGrady at the time, it is very difficult to leave the two top wings at the same time.

"This is the best result for everyone. Tim can play for a few more years, and Leonard and Green need a bigger stage to play."

Tang Tian followed.

He also saw that he did not have eternal teammates in the NBA, and his friends would not become strangers just because they were not in the same team.

Even if he leaves the Spurs, his relationship with these people, including Popovich, will not change.

Popovich smiled, picked up the wine glass, touched Tang Tian for a while, and then took a sip.

It is easy to get drunk in high-year wine. Tang Tian tried his best and only drank one glass, while Popovich drank two glasses by himself.

In the end, both of them were red and they were drunk and snoring loudly on the sofa.

In the middle of the night, Tang Tian was awakened by the cold and found that the window had forgotten to close.

Rubbing his head to close the window, looking at Popovich, who was lying on the sofa with white hair, now he looked like a bad old man.

He went into the bedroom to move the quilt out and covered Popovich.

Seeing that the others hadn't come back, he went straight to Walker's room to sleep.

Just as they were snoring loudly, Woj broke the news before the Spurs' official Spurs: The Spurs will not match the Pelicans' offer to Tang Tian.

This means that after Jeremy Lin and Asik last year, Tang Tian became the third player to be successfully poached by a poison contract.

Social media exploded instantly.

"LeBron: It's dawn!"

"Damn it, I'm finally going to win the championship?!"

"The Spurs are really losing their strength this time. To be honest, if it weren't for Tang last year, they would definitely not have won the championship."

"Dang went to the Pelicans, and he didn't necessarily perform better than the Spurs. This is really a result of losing both sides!"

"As Pelicans fans, I'm very happy. No matter whether Tang can be the core or not, our weak wings have been strengthened! Tang is the best defensive player!"

"Yes, no matter whether it is systemic or not, Tang's best defensive first team and best defensive player will not be gone. He can bring toughness to the Pelicans!"

"But it's still difficult for the Pelicans to enter the playoffs. Anthony Davis was completely exaggerated, and Eric Gordon's injury will never be cured. In addition, the lowest-famous All-Star Holiday, this lineup is still difficult for the playoffs in the Western Conference."

"Including Tang, a system player who is considered to be a core, is this considered an 'exagger' league'?"

"I think it's almost the same for the Frustrated League. After all, I think Don didn't force a few days and probably didn't expect the Spurs to give up the match."

...

ps: A book that has not been written yet. In October 2014, the new ESPN/TNT and the NBA's new TV broadcast contract was officially signed, which was three times the original broadcast contract and took effect in 2016. This is also the reason why the salary cap skyrocketed in the summer of 2016, so it is impossible for the bosses to know that it will rise at this point in the book.
