D'Anthony was really beaten by Stevens..."

"The Pelicans' tactics are very good. Whether it is against Harden or Cousins, Stevens really demonstrates the strength of a top coach."

"Actually, we thought that the Pelicans won more because of the lineup, but at least Stevens is no longer inferior to Carlisle. When we faced D'Antoni in the second round, we realized how strong he is."

"Tang doesn't have to exert any force. According to him and many Heizi, players in his system can win by performing normally, which will give him enough energy to play in the later Western Conference Finals and Finals."

"When it comes to Tang, why don't the Rockets defend against each other?"

"Are you sure that Don can be targeted? His raids are too strong, and his defense is the strongest. This is the biggest difference between him and Harden and Cousins. This question is the same as how you target Jordan in the last century."

"Haha, but I believe that in the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors' unlimited defense replacement will play a big role in him."

"Warriors? Are you sure? Brother, you didn't watch the playoffs! The Thunder are already 2-1!"

"Yes, the Thunder's performance in the playoffs is really incredible. Durant is the real god of death in the playoffs."

"I'm quite looking forward to Don Duxi's final match. Since Don became the Pelicans' core, they have not yet met in the playoffs."

"No, I want to see the Pelicans and the Warriors. I didn't play last year. The Pelicans must take revenge this year!"

...

Fans were talking about it on the hotline, but Tang Tian left the stadium after attending the press conference.

He and Yao Ming made an appointment to have a midnight snack in Yao's restaurant.

When Tang Tian arrived, Yao Ming was already waiting there.

"You're really merciless tonight!"

As soon as they met, Yao Ming stood up and said to him.

What he said about mercilessness naturally refers to the game that just ended.

His jersey retirement ceremony was early to allow the Rockets to win a game, but in the end the Pelicans won.

"If you want to blame you, blame Stevens."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

Fans blew Stevens to the sky on the hotline. He was all good, and he deserved to take the blame.

After hearing this, Yao Ming nodded with laughter.

He just made an opening remark. After so many years of retirement, the Rockets have feelings for him, but it is limited to feelings.

Yao Restaurant is Yao Ming’s personal property in Houston, with Chinese food, and Yao Ming is from Shanghai, and it is mainly Shanghai cuisine.

Lard 100-fruit sponge cake, drunk chicken, jasper beef tendon...

There are also the eight-treasure ducks and grape fish that Tang Tian introduced to Olson before...

Yao Ming prepared a lot, but eating was secondary, mainly chatting.

Talk about the games that just ended, talk about the progress of basketball schools and drafts, and... the 2016 Rio Olympics.

This year's playoffs will be played, and the Rio Olympics will be available in the summer.

Yao Ming was elected chairman of the Basketball Association, and Tang Tian will definitely play in the Rio Olympics.

Moreover, he is now much stronger than in four years, and he can play most national teams in the area and four.

“I have two requirements.”

Tang Tian and Yao Ming were very familiar with each other, and he didn't take any detours and went straight to the point.

"First, when selecting people, you should choose 3D players as much as possible, and then bring some young players. By the way, Guo Ailun has to bring them with you."

The international competition only has 10 minutes in a quarter, and the confrontation is not as strong as the NBA.

He basically has to play the whole game, and the one-star lineup is the most suitable for him.

As for young players, the competition experience is very important.

The special mention of Guo Ailun is because he has a few important minutes of rest. The team needs a stable ball handler to make a transition at that time.

Yao Ming nodded and indicated that there was no problem.

After he took office, in order to prepare for the Olympics, he divided the national team into red and blue teams, playing as many international competitions as possible.

Many new players emerged, and many of them could defend and make three-pointers.

There is always something that can be used to pull the general from a short person.

"Second, I have the right to speak in the coaching staff, so it's best to find a coach who can do what I say."

Tang Tian made the second request.

Yao Ming did not respond immediately.

This requirement is a bit too much.

This is actually equivalent to finding a national team head coach to serve as an assistant to Tang Tian.

Those experienced coaches, including Gong Luming, who is now leading the team, are not able to use them, and even young coaches may not be willing to do it.

"If you want to win medals, you can only do this."

Tang Tian saw that Yao Ming did not respond and continued.

His understanding of tactics, or coaching ability, is stronger than that of NBA coaches, let alone domestic ones.

His strength is much stronger now than four years ago. The quarterfinals are definitely not his target, he is the only one who wins cards.

"good."

Yao Ming nodded.

Others, including himself, would think that person was crazy if the Chinese wanted to win cards in the Olympics.

But only Tang Tian said that he believed it.

Tang Tian’s strength can really be as strong as one to five in the Olympics.

Yao Ming agreed, and Tang Tian was relieved.

Although it is difficult to hit a medal, the goal must be set first, just like in London in 2012.

What if the goal is achieved?

That must be an unprecedented moment.

"I have a request, it's my own."

After Tang Tian finished his request, Yao Ming also said his own.

Tang Tian thought he knew some requirements about the team's playing style or getting along with the coaching staff.

But all of these were wrong. Yao Ming's request was indeed limited to him as he said.

"I hope you can wear the No. 11 jersey at the Rio Olympics."

A player of Tang Tian’s level, No. 31 has almost been bound to him.

What is No. 31 Kobe, No. 31 Nash, he is already the strongest No. 31 in basketball history.

No. 31 is his synonym, but Yao Ming hopes that he will use No. 11.

"I can't play anymore, but I hope my national team's jersey number will have the chance to appear on the Olympic podium."

Yao Ming then said with a sincere look.

This reason is sufficient.

"no problem."

Tang Tian agreed, but he couldn't refuse.

Yao Ming has done so much for the Chinese men's basketball team, and this is just a request that is so small that it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

"Thanks."

Yao Ming thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

In 2008, he had not recovered from his injury and went out to play in the Olympics. It was precisely because of that Olympics that he ended his basketball career early.

But he doesn't regret it.

Some people play the Olympics for money and exposure, but they fight for the country and for honor.

But unfortunately, as a player, he failed, and his highest honor in the national team was only the quarterfinals.

Now, he has no way to play as a player, but he has placed his hopes on Tang Tian.

When he arrived at Tang Tian, ​​the No. 11 jersey replacement was just like Tang Tian and Kobe's previous jersey exchange.
Chapter completed!
