The Godfather of Basketball

The dust of the free market has settled, the offseason has officially arrived, and the league has entered a long draft period.

After playing for a season, most players began to enter the vacation mode.

Tang Tian also put the team's affairs aside. He left the summer league and other trivial matters of the team to Jones and Frank.

When he is the boss, he has to live like a boss.

He took Hathaway and Swift to Hawaii, and directly booked a holiday villa there.

Tang Tang and Tang Hao are about to turn 2 years old. They are usually busy and have no time to accompany them. This time they have to make up for it.

Hawaii in July is the best time for a vacation. Bathing and surfing at the beach, drinking iced drinks and fruits under an umbrella is a great relaxation for the body.

And when he was at home, because he had children all the time, Tang Tian hadn't enjoyed married life with Swift and the others for a long time.

Now it's time to go outside, one of them took two, and the other upstairs to enjoy the fun of fish and water, which is also very cool in this hot summer.

After staying in Hawaii for a month, Tang Tian went back to China as usual.

Some basketball schools have graduated one after another. Most of them have entered the various schools of CUBA and have become the main players of each team. A small part of them have entered the youth teams of various CBA teams.

Judging from various feedbacks, the strength of these students has been recognized by all parties.

Especially for those students who entered CUBA, because their cultural courses are not bad, their quality is better than that of general sports special enrollment, not only good in tactics, but also easy to manage.

The Basketball Association is reforming, and the CBA has launched draft conferences since last year. These students have also become the final objects of inspection by various teams.

Tang Tian's basketball school experiment achieved unexpected success.

Yao Ming, who is running for the director of the Basketball Association, is full of praise for this school, saying that this is China's NCAA model.

The reason why the NCAA can become the cradle of NBA talents is precisely because there are enough students. The main reason why CUBA is not good is also because of the lack of students.

Most of the students are mainly culture classes since they were young, let alone professional training, they don’t have much contact with amateurs, and basketball needs to be trained from a young age. There is a big conflict between the two.

Most of the seedlings who are all-powerful in CUBA started systematic training after entering high school or even university. Let alone talent, it is said that training has lagged behind too much.

But the basketball school perfectly solved this problem.

"The success of the Shanghai stock market pilot program gave us confidence that we will launch new basketball schools in more cities in the future." Tang Tian was also full of pride at the graduation ceremony of the new class of students.

The difference between basketball school and other schools is to tell others that playing basketball can become a career.

This product that complied with the CBA draft system but qualified ahead of schedule has a huge living space.

In addition to the basketball school, Tang Tian also visited his basketball training camp, and also completed the acquisition of all the shares of the Liao basketball team, taking full ownership of the team.

After two consecutive championships, the Liao basketball team has become a strong CBA. With enough investment in youth training and advanced training methods, it looks like a CBA new Guangdong.

After staying in China for a month, Tang Tian returned to the United States. At this time, it was already September, the team's training camp started, and players returned to the team one after another.

Two months after Tang Tian left the team, he appeared again at the Barclays Center.

As soon as I entered the training hall, I heard the sound of banging inside. It seems that there are already many players playing.

Frank saw him entering the stadium and ran over to say hello to him.

Tang Tian signaled him to continue, and then sat aside to observe.

Booker, Butler, Yi Jianlian, Jokic, Jefferson Jr., Tucker, Oden, Murray, Brogdon, Gerald Green, it's only been two days since the training camp started, and most of them have It's all here.

Tang Tian observed for a while, and was soon attracted by Jokic.

This guy seems to have lost a lot of weight, and his training flexibility has improved a lot compared to last season, and he didn't lose the wind when confronting Yi Jianlian, and the confrontation has improved a lot compared to before.

Generally speaking, the weight loss confrontation will come down a bit, but Jokic is abnormal.

Frank had arranged the other side at this time, and just came over, saw Tang Tian looking at Jokic, and said with a smile: "This guy trained badly in summer."

"Huh?" When he first arrived at the team, he still didn't know the details of the team in the past two months. Frank said he didn't know.

"Nicola didn't play much in the finals last year. He was stimulated. After the end of the season, he has been training in the arena. After discussing with Rogers, let him lose weight and fight. As long as the speed is up, it is not a big deal. Problem."

"This idea is fine." Tang Tian nodded. The Warriors will be the main opponent of the Nets, and Jokic is the cornerstone of the future. If he can't be big and small, and can't play at critical moments, then he can't be the cornerstone.

"And after losing weight and gaining speed, he can also play the four position, so he can also try to play with Greg."

Tang Tian nodded after listening, stretched out his hand and patted Frank's shoulder with a smile: "Lawrence, you can do it!"

After all, West is old. If Jokic can become a swingman, then the team's future insiders will be Jokic, Yi Jianlian and Oden. As long as they don't get injured, they are not afraid of any tough battles.

Frank smiled. During the offseason, he knew Tang Tian was on vacation so he didn't contact him. But when he came back from the offseason, he was worried that Tang Tian would say that he was a good advocate. Now it seems that his judgment was correct.

"And Devin, that guy has been practicing defense, and he has been practicing since the end of the season. The two rookies have been tossed by him. Now that Gerrard is here, they can finally be liberated." Frank continued.

Tang Tian turned his head and looked towards the corner of the court when he heard that, only then did he see Booker and Green practicing one-on-one.

Green is good at shooting, and his breakthrough is also good. In terms of offensive ability, he is indeed much stronger than Murray and Brogdon.

Booker's defense is methodical, whether it is position grabbing or judgment, there is a lot of improvement compared to last season, and Green didn't take much advantage in front of him.

Tang Tian couldn't stop nodding his head.

Booker and Jokic represent the future of the Nets. In fact, if he does not practice in advance, he will also formulate a further training plan during the season.

Now they have raised their awareness in advance and put it into action. This is definitely the best news.

And I have been practicing during the offseason, I believe there will be an explosion in the new season.

Oladipo and Sabonis of the previous Thunder team were called hard-working brothers by fans because they improved significantly after an offseason.

Now this Nets version of the hard-working brother, the talent is higher, and the new season is more worth looking forward to.
