The Godfather of Basketball

Tang Tian didn't stay in Houston for a long time. He spent a week with Thibodeau to preliminarily make plans for the next season, and then got on the plane to Dubai.

Dubai, the full name of the Emirate of Dubai, is a city in the United Arab Emirates.

In his previous life, Tang Tian thought Dubai was a country because of his unfamiliar relationship.

In fact, in 1971, Dubai, together with five other countries, formed the United Arab Emirates, so it has changed from an independent country to a city in the United Arab Emirates.

Although it is not the capital of the United Arab Emirates, this oil-based city has become the largest city in the United Arab Emirates and even the Middle East by relying on its strong tourism industry in the later period.

This time the runway show was hosted by Sheikh Hamandan, Crown Prince of Dubai.

It is reported that the cost of this runway show is more than 200 million U.S. dollars, and there are many world-class supermodels like Adriana Lima and Carolina Kurkova. Hathaway is one of the rising stars , is also one of them.

This is obviously not the kind of game where the rich spend a lot of money. In fact, as the crown prince, Harmandan has been committed to political construction. This runway show is one of his initiatives to promote tourism consumption in Dubai.

Hathaway had already gone to Dubai with her agent a week ago to prepare. After Tang Tian went, he went directly to the hotel to find her.

He rang the doorbell and went in. What he didn't expect was that besides him, there was Lima in the room.

"Hey, Coach Don." Lima didn't look surprised when he saw him, but smiled badly.

Tang Tian unconsciously remembered the incident at McGraw's birthday party, when he helped zip up the women's toilet, and the kiss he got.

This kind of naughty smile is like a mature big sister molesting the little brother next door.

"Hey, why are you here?" Tang Tian forced a smile.

"Of course I'm waiting for you." Lima looked at him with a smile.

"Um...wait for me?" Tang Tian looked at Hathaway suspiciously.

Hathaway hadn't told him about this before, and he and Lima were only limited to one zipper, and their friendship was not good enough to make her wait.

"She wants to ask you for help with something related to basketball." Hathaway explained, and then said in the language of the warning letter, "Yana, please tell me something quickly, my cousin and I are still together." There is something to talk about."

"Okay, I got it, I'm in a hurry." Lima said and took out an invitation letter, "Prince Harmandan, you should have heard of it, he is the crown prince of Dubai, and at the same time he is an obsessed basketball fan , I know you have come to Dubai, and I want to make an appointment to meet you."

The Crown Prince of Dubai wants to meet himself?

This is nothing new.

He took the invitation letter and looked at it, and found that it was a very formal invitation letter and Harmandan's exclusive seal, which could not be faked.

But it doesn't mention what exactly it does.

"Don't look at me, I don't know what to do, maybe just chatting, drinking coffee or something." Seeing Tang Tian looking at him, Lima immediately shook his head and said.

"Well, I see." Tang Tian said as he put away the invitation letter.

The time is tomorrow afternoon, he is free, and he also wants to meet the Crown Prince of Dubai.

"Well, let me open the door for you." Tang Tian saw that Lima was still in the room, then went to the door and opened it.

This is an eviction order.

Lima was stunned for a moment. It was the first time that she, a supermodel in the world, was treated like this. She looked at Hathaway with a bit of resentment and said, "Your cousin is really ruthless."

After finishing speaking, she didn't hold back, turned around and left the room.

After closing the door and seeing through the cat's eyes that Lima had really left, Tang Tian then said, "Lima actually knows the Crown Prince, so you should avoid dealing with her in the future."

"Hmm." Hathaway didn't know what happened to Tang Tian and Lima before, and she nodded when she saw that he was so unhappy.

Seeing that Hathaway didn't speak, Tang Tian realized that his attitude was a bit too much. He went to put his arms around her body, kissed her and said, "I'm also doing it for your own good, you know."

Hathaway nodded, then responded by hugging Tang Tian.

...

In the afternoon of the second day, a customized Mercedes-Benz SLR. Concept was parked in front of the hotel, which was also the car Harmandan used to pick him up.

As a unique exclusive car in the world, when Tang Tian got in the car, passers-by were envious and surrounded.

When you got on the bus, you knew you were going to the palace of the crown prince.

Cars are speeding on the road, and various luxury cars can be seen everywhere, such as Lamborghini, Bentley, Ferrari... For the rich in Dubai, money is not a number, but a tool to satisfy their squandering.

But no matter how luxurious the car is, they will take the initiative to detour when they see this Mercedes-Benz.

No one here wants to trouble the Crown Prince.

Twenty minutes later, Tang Tian appeared in Harmandan's reception room.

Unlike the golden lights and gems he saw all the way, this reception room is quite simple and gives people a very comfortable feeling.

As exciting as it is to see a piece of gold in the middle of a desert, it is equally comforting to have this clean place in the midst of a heap of gold.

Soon, Crown Prince Harmandan appeared in the reception room.

Harmandan is very young. He was born in 1982. He is only 26 years old this year, only less than two years older than Tang Tian.

The short beard, against the handsome face, looks very masculine.

In fact, in the latest issue of "Forbes" announced "the world's sexiest royal family members", Harmandan ranked fourth.

"Coach Tang, welcome." Harmandan was very polite and opened his arms to Tang Tian with a smile.

Tang Tian also got up and hugged him.

Harmandan motioned for Duo Ren to pour a cup of pure Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, and then motioned for Duo Ren and the bodyguards to go out.

"Try it." Harmandan said with a smile.

Tang Tian picked up the coffee and took a sip. The flavor was rich and balanced, mixed with a faint sour taste of fruit.

It might be the best coffee he's ever had.

But after taking a sip, he put down the glass and looked at Harmandan suspiciously.

To be honest, he still hasn't figured out what he was invited to do.

"It's like this. We're going to hold a Middle East basketball league in Dubai. I want to invite you to be my head coach." Perhaps guessing what Tang Tian was thinking, Harmandan continued.

Ask him to come to the Middle East as the head coach?

"Don't worry, I will pay you the same salary in the NBA, but the league is only for one month, and it will not affect your work in the NBA." Harmandan continued.

"I don't quite understand, why me?" Tang Tian was really puzzled. As far as he knew, people in the Middle East didn't like basketball that much. Rich people like them prefer aristocratic sports like equestrian and golf.

"Because you are the champion coach of the NBA, won two consecutive championships, and led the Chinese team to win a medal. You are the most talked about head coach in the world now, aren't you?" Harmandan said with a smile.

"Oh, forgot to mention, basketball is now the most popular new sport in the Middle East."

Tang Tian paused after listening.

He suddenly felt that what Lima said was nonsense. This Harmandan was not a basketball fan at all, but a very pure businessman.
