The Godfather of Basketball

The 2011 draft came to an end, and the Cavaliers reaped a lot.

It seems that there are three rookies with different levels, but Tang Tian knows that these three people may be the most rewarding year for the Cavaliers in the past three years.

Now just wait for the new season to kick off.

Time flew by and it was July 1st.

According to the rhythm of previous years, the door to the free agent market is open at this time, and the management of each team should have been active at the first time, and began to negotiate with their favorite free agents.

But this year is completely different.

After midnight on July 1, when the old collective bargaining agreement expired and the new collective bargaining agreement could not be reached for a long time, league president Stern announced that the league had officially entered the shutdown time.

During the lockout period, NBA players will not receive salaries, and NBA teams cannot negotiate with players, nor can they sign and trade players.

At the same time, players cannot use the team's training facilities for any reason, and the team cannot hold any summer training camps, exhibitions, team meetings, and coaching gatherings. Even the NBA team website can no longer use the player's image, and cannot use the player as a publicity representative.

And along with these is the cancellation of the NBA Summer League.

This is a huge blow to both employers and employees.

Even for a player like Thomas, a very important display platform is lost.

After the lockout was announced, most players were still relatively calm, and the offseason was originally for them to relax.

As for those players who can't play in the summer league, they can only hold back first.

The managements of the teams were most affected. Like the Cavaliers, Tang Tian and his team couldn't even contact the team members.

Because they are the employers now, during the lockout, the players are separated from them.

Tang Tian didn't know whether the lockout would be the same as he remembered in his previous life, or it would last longer, but it was still a long vacation for him.

Probably the longest vacation he has had since crossing.

The contract with the Cavaliers is still there, and the development of the company is also smooth, and everything is developing in an orderly manner.

It was at this time that he finally had time to take a look at his newly bought house.

Hathaway and Swift are fully committed to the house decoration, which has been completed in sevens and eighties at this time.

On this day, at the request of the two women, he also returned the apartment rented to him by the team, hired a servant to pack up the luggage, and asked the moving company to send it to the new house.

"We have a gift for you."

In the car, Hathaway said mysteriously.

After getting along for so long, it was Tang Tian who gave them gifts all the time. I didn't expect the two women to get together now and plan to give him gifts.

And it was also mysterious, Tang Tian didn't tell them when he asked them.

The car drove to the top of the mountain in the suburbs, and new security guards had been hired at the gate, and they greeted them respectfully.

After driving to the garage, Tang Tian also saw the gift they were talking about.

Maybach Landaulet, Mercedes-Benz's limited edition convertible, was produced in 2007. At that time, the first batch was only about 20, and the current global price is about 1.4 million US dollars.

"I prefer the Bugatti Veyron Super.Sport, it looks very cool, but Taylor said that you usually keep a low profile, so we finally chose this one." Hathaway said and handed the car keys to Tang Tian.

For the Bugatti Veyron Super.Sport, the price is twice as high, but the price ranges of sports cars and convertibles are different.

In 2011, this Maybach should be one of the most expensive cars in the world.

But it is indeed like what Hathaway said, except for the logo and the elongated body, the appearance of this car is indeed much more low-key than a sports car.

Its luxury is the interior, because the car was originally made and sold to the European aristocracy.

It is said that when it first came out, the first car was bought by the Pope of the Vatican as a royal car.

"Thank you my sweethearts." Tang Tian embraced Swift with his left hand and kissed him. His right hand slid down from his slender waist, touched Hathaway's sexy buttocks, and then walked towards his new car.

Tang Tian hasn't pursued much personally since he traveled, but men have a preference for cars.

Although he can afford such a car now, the gifts from his wife will always be different.

"Go, go for a drive."

He opened the car, waved to Hathaway and Swift, and Tang Tian then started the car.

He didn't drive the car down the hill, in fact, it would be so boring just to drive up and down the hill.

He just circled around his house twice.

It takes several minutes to drive around a house covering an area of ​​more than 10,000 square meters.

The advantage of having a big house is here.

Another very unique design of this Maybach is that the front and rear sunroofs of the car are separated, and the rear can be opened directly.

Hathaway and Swift sat in the back seat, looking at the blue sky above and the city of Cleveland outside the window.

Not to mention, the feeling of just going for a drive at home is very good.

After parking the car, Tang Tian walked into the main building.

The living room is still in the original decoration style, but there are many green plants around it.

"Meow!"

It was right for him to go in, and the guy in Yingshou jumped out from behind the sofa with a "boo".

This guy was the happiest when he changed from a small apartment to a big house.

Then enter the sports area, because an open-air basketball court has been installed outside, and the place originally used for DIY has been directly turned into a recording studio, which is used for recording songs by Swift.

After leaving the main building, there is a gentle breeze. There are a few beach chairs by the pool, and you can directly bask in the sun by lying on them.

They walked over there and sat down. Hathaway called and asked the servant to prepare some fresh fruit.

This feeling of relaxation and enjoyment is really pleasant.

That fellow Yingduan also ran out, he sniffed here and there, so don't be too clingy.

"Mr. Tang, these are the freshest fruits today."

While looking at Ying Duan's suit, Tang Tian heard a strange voice.

It's strange, not because of the voice, but because of the pronunciation, which feels a little tongue-tied.

Tang Tian turned his head, and then saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl who looked as cute as a porcelain doll and was very cleanly dressed, looking at them with slightly nervous eyes.

Judging from the appearance, this is obviously not American, but more like the Middle East.

It is really a curious thing that a little Middle Eastern girl appeared in his home.

"Hadia, you go down." Swift said with a smile at this time.

The little girl nodded, and then quickly ran back to the kitchen.

"Where did you find it?" Tang Tian turned to look at Swift.
