The Godfather of Basketball

"What?!" Alexander thought he heard it wrong, and looked at Tang Tian in a daze.

Morey also felt unbelievable. Isn't this what Tang Tian wanted?

"I will not renew my contract with the Rockets, because the Rockets did not provide what I want." Tang Tian continued.

Alexander was silent, his face was very ugly.

He spent so much time convincing Morey, and also gave him the job, all because Tang Tian completed the dynasty for the Rockets in the past three years, but he didn't expect the latter to be so ignorant.

Tang Tian didn't say anything. In fact, since Alexander chose to be a peacemaker, this ending has already been doomed. Their attitude today is just another push on the edge of the cliff.

"snort!"

After all, Alexander was a billionaire, and Tang Tian was just an employee he hired. He lowered his posture and finally got this result, snorted coldly, and went out directly.

Morey also got up and walked out.

After the two left, Tang Tian didn't think much about it.

Other head coaches are obsequious to the management, but he is different. His ability does not worry about leaving him at all. Even if he is really not an NBA head coach, with his ability as a time traveler, he can do the best in other things.

At this moment, his phone vibrated again, and when he picked it up, it was Presti, the president of the Thunder.

"Don, we have decided that we will provide you with the position of director of operations and head coach at the same time."

...

The draft was getting closer and closer, and the management of each team finally couldn't sit still and began to compromise one after another.

On this day, Tang Tian received calls from seven teams, namely the Thunder, Spurs, Knicks, Magic, Suns, Bucks and Trail Blazers.

Choose one from eight.

Tang Tian didn't rush to make a decision, but drove to his aunt's house first.

For him, where to go is not just his business.

Hathaway was a little tired after returning from the Victoria's Secret Show, and had been resting at home for the past few days. When Tang Tian went, she was watering the flowers in the yard.

"Tang?" Seeing Tang Tian came back, Hathaway put down the kettle and smiled charmingly.

The two entered the room, greeted their uncle and aunt, and then went upstairs.

"I have to change teams next season. San Antonio is closer to Houston, and New York is more lively. Last time we went to Phoenix, the summer there is not pleasant, but the winter will be very good..."

Hathaway listened to Tang Tian quietly.

"Where do you think it is more suitable to go?"

When Tang Tian finally asked, Hathaway looked straight at him and said with a smile: "Tang, you can go anywhere, you don't have to think about me, even if you go back to China, I will always follow you."

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, and reached out to pull Hathaway into his arms.

Because of their status, their relationship is still difficult to make public, but Hathaway is really considerate of him.

After returning from his aunt's house, Tang Tian thought for a long time, and finally picked up the phone.

"Daniel, I've made up my mind."

After making the decision, Tang Tian suddenly became more relaxed. He then called the management of the remaining teams, told them the final decision in the most tactful tone, and expressed his apology.

"We still have a chance in the future, don't we?" Like Thunder president Presti said, most managements are optimistic.

After all, Tang is only 25 years old, which is really too young for a coach.

Immediately after making a decision, Tang Tian also called his coaching staff and team members and told them to go to Yao Restaurant.

Most of these players have been with him for two seasons, and they are the ones who are most reluctant to leave the Rockets.

The offseason has just begun, and all the players are still in Houston. When he called, they all arrived without missing a single one.

"Next season, I will not coach the Rockets again."

His first sentence made everyone else stunned, it was like a bolt from the blue.

"Coach, why?" Battier said and stood up. He has been with Tang Tian for three years, and he has the deepest relationship with Tang Tian besides Yao Mai.

"Coach, you should stay."

"Yes, coach, this team cannot live without you."

...

The team members said one after another that they were not the management team. Although they heard some rumors, they really never thought that Tang Tian would leave.

After all, they had just completed a three-peat, a dynasty, an incredible feat.

Now their head coach has told them that he will leave next season, which is really unacceptable.

"There are many reasons for this, but the result has already been determined. Next season, we will be opponents." Tang Tian said with a smile.

The players were all silent, and those on the coaching staff didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

"Don't be depressed, everyone. Being able to complete the dynasty with you is the most memorable experience in my coaching career, and I will never forget it."

"If there are no accidents, Tom should replace me as the team's new head coach. Everyone is still in this team, so my departure will not have a big impact on the team."

Although this is only Tang Tian's guess, since it is a dynasty team and its core is at its peak, using the first assistant as the head coach is the most correct and only choice, which can basically be guessed.

After a meal, McGrady left early, and he should be very disappointed by his expression.

Tang Tian didn't say anything. Although the system will increase the sense of intimacy, everyone's personality is different. Perhaps for McGrady, his behavior is a kind of betrayal.

"Coach." After everyone else had left one after another, Yao Ming, the owner of the restaurant, stayed until the end, but it seemed that he had something to say.

"Dayao." Tang Tian called him affectionately, as if everything had returned to the scene when they first met in that small room three years ago.

"I support your decision, no matter what the reason is, everyone has the right to choose." Unlike others who persuaded him to stay, Yao Ming's opening is another way of saying it.

"But you are my coach wherever you go." Yao Ming continued.

Tang Tian smiled. Hearing such words, his training of Yao Ming in the past three years was worthwhile.

"No one can say for sure what will happen in the future." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Yao Ming smiled. He heard the implication of Tang Tian's words. In fact, his contract expired in two years.

"Take good care of Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian. Neither of you will be indispensable in the future matches of the national team." Tang Tian finally smiled and wanted to pat Yao Ming on the shoulder, but found that he couldn't, so he lightly punched his arm with his fist instead.

"I will." Yao Ming nodded vigorously.

The two walked out of the box with a smile, only to find that Thibodeau and Cole were still outside.
