The Godfather of Basketball

After winning the championship, the Cavaliers went to the bar to celebrate as usual.

A night of carnival.

After waking up the next day, they flew back to Cleveland.

The championship parade hadn't started yet, but when they got off the plane, there were already hundreds of fans at the airport to pick them up.

When you get off the plane, there are flowers and various slogans.

The first championship trophy in the history of the Cavaliers is enough for fans in the small city of Cleveland to be excited for a lifetime.

Under Tang Tian's instruction, the players of the Cavaliers also actively interacted with the fans, signing autographs and taking photos.

These fans are the most solid backing for this team.

After returning to the Quicken Loans Arena from the airport, the championship trophy was placed in the most conspicuous position of the arena and mounted with bulletproof glass.

The team members have worked hard all night, and they will participate in the championship parade tomorrow, so it is time to go back and have a rest.

Tang Tian also returned to his home, with his left and right arms around Hathaway and Swift, enjoying the rare moment of rest after winning the championship.

Since the showdown between the two women, although she still hasn't slept with him, she doesn't seem to mind being with him at the same time.

At this time, in addition to watching TV, I also opened a bottle of red wine from the past 20 years, eating snacks and drinking wine, enjoying the leisure time.

"Tang, who are you going to pick in this year's draft?" Hathaway asked suddenly after eating a dried fruit.

She has a lot of free time, and she knows more about the NBA.

"What draft?" Swift looked at Hathaway curiously.

"NBA draft!" Hathaway said with a smile, with a little smugness in the corner of her eyes.

Swift said "oh," then flipped through the phone.

"The Kings are No. 5, and the Clippers are No. 11. I think Cousins ​​is a good pick. He is so big." Hathaway continued, she has really become half an NBA fan .

Tang Tian smiled and said nothing.

When the Cavaliers and Rockets played in the finals, the new season's draft lottery was over.

Gilbert sent his sick son to the lottery, but luck did not favor the Cavaliers as she did in her previous life.

With a probability of winning more than 15%, only one fifth and eleventh were obtained in the end.

"That guy has a very bad temper. I don't know if he will fight with LeBron." Tang Tian said jokingly.

"Huh? You don't want him? Then would you choose the one called Greg Monroe, or the one called Ai Pai Udo?" Hathaway continued to ask.

The few Hathaway mentioned are all insiders. The Cavaliers O'Neal's contract expired, Wallace is also one year older, and the insiders are empty.

"Actually, the fifth pick, Paul George and Gordon Hayward are also good." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Ah? Don't they overlap with LeBron?" Hathaway continued.

"You know how to play football!" Tang Tian turned his head and said.

Hathaway smiled and nodded, subconsciously raised her chest.

Well, the ball is pretty big.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Swift threw the phone on the sofa and turned to go to the bathroom.

Tang Tian froze for a moment, but didn't care.

"Then who are you going to choose? Tell me." Swift was gone, and Hathaway's slender long legs were hooked directly onto Tang Tian.

"Ahem!"

Tang Tian coughed twice, stretched out his hand to touch Hathaway's thigh, and said, "Secret."

He has his own plan, and this plan must come true on the day of the draft. The best hope is that if there is any leak, it is likely to fall short.

So even if it was his own woman, he didn't say anything in advance.

In case of leaking things, there is no need to take risks.

Hathaway also knew the severity, seeing what Tang Tian didn't say, she retracted her legs.

After a while, Swift came out.

What Tang Tian didn't expect was that in such a short time, he even changed his hairstyle.

Pure and cute.

After sitting down again, she moved a little closer to Tang Tian's arms.

Hathaway over there also moved a little closer, her hands still where they shouldn't be.

Tang Tian stiffened his body.

It seems that although the two women don't mind being together at the same time, it seems that because of this, sometimes there will be some undercurrents.

The next day, Tang Tian and the Cavaliers held a grand championship parade in Cleveland.

Compared with Houston, the scale here is not small.

Almost the whole city was mobilized.

Rich people, homeless people, children, everyone can see it. In front of the golden championship trophy, the gap between rich and poor, age, and class have all disappeared. At this moment, there is only basketball.

Tang Tian also put the matter of the draft aside and enjoyed the most exciting time with his players.

O'Neill is really a big baby, with big champagne, big cigars, and a few big gold chains, and a showy dance, which amused the fans.

The car ended the parade and returned to the outside of the arena.

There, Tang Tian delivered a championship speech as the head coach.

Thanks to everyone on the team for their dedication over the past season.

"This is Cleveland's first championship, but it won't be the last."

At the end of the speech, Tang Tian ended with these words.

After the parade was over, Albert and Tang Tian arrived at the general manager's office.

"Don, will our summer plans change?" Gilbert asked uncertainly.

When signing the contract, he, Tang Tian and James had a plan for the future of the team.

It was also based on that plan that James finally wrote the written guarantee.

In that plan, the Cavaliers had a bad season this season, but now that the bad performance has not been completed, it is unknown whether the subsequent plan will be changed.

"No, no." Tang Tian said with certainty.

"That's good." Gilbert nodded with a smile.

He is a businessman, but Tang Tian is the head coach. He is worried that the latter will be emotional because of this championship. Now it seems that he is too worried.

After Gilbert left, Tang Tian called Rasheed Wallace to his office.

"Rashid, the team will not implement your contract option for the second year." Tang Tian cut to the chase.

When a decision is made, all the nice words don't seem so important.

However, Wallace didn't seem too surprised. He is a veteran after all, and he knows that the Cavaliers' victory this year is a miracle. move.

Miracles can happen once, and the second time is obviously unrealistic.

"If you want, the team can re-sign a contract with you, but the annual salary will not be too high. Personally, I still hope that you can find a long-term contract in the free market. At your age, this may be your This is the last big contract of my career."

"I'm sorry." Tang Tian said apologetically at the end.

As a general manager, sometimes some decisions are really not so easy to make.

Especially after a season like this.
