Time unknowingly arrived in late March, and the pace of the playoffs quickly unknowingly approached.
The Spurs flew to Washington, ushered in the second match of the season.
But this time, in addition to the game, they also have a task to visit the White House.
NA's practice, the champion, will get an opportunity to be met by the president every year.
This year is no exception.
Team players, coaching staff members, general manager Buford are on the invitation list.
They arrived in Washington one day in advance, and drove to the White House early the next morning.
After more than an hour's drive, they have seen the iconic dome of the White House.
In the White House, Tang Tian has been here many times in his previous life, and he is already very familiar with it.
The bus entered from the south gate, and after stopping inside, the team members got off the car one after another.
"This is the lawn of the South Courtyard, and the group photo of the president and important guests is usually held in this place."
When they get off the bus, there are special people to guide them, and there is someone to explain in front.
Interview is just a process, and more importantly, a visit.
The White House, in addition to some places not open to the public, is actually a very well-known tourist attraction.
Some action movies in the United States, such as "The Fall of the White House" and "Crisis", were shot on the background of this piece.
"The trees here are all planted by the President or the First Lady. The magnolia flower was planted by President Andrew Jackson more than a hundred years ago to commemorate the dead wife."
As the only official residence of the President of the United States in a century, there will always be many stories here.
Most players' attention is on the magnolia flower that the commentator said.
At this time, Tang Tian vaguely heard that Vicky and Buford were talking behind him, and the content of the communication was vaguely related to the signing of the contract.
At this point in time, the trading deadline, the buyout deadline has passed, and the lineup has to be changed?
"We need him to play the role of LeBron in training. LeBron has developed a certain shooting ability this season. He is the most suitable candidate."
"Well, I know, I will contact the T team."
Tang Tian deliberately slowed down a bit, but only heard the last two sentences they exchanged.
By this time, they had already crossed the stairs of the national floor covered with oil paintings and came to the east room where the president wanted to meet them. .
"The East Room is the largest reception room in the Guojia Building, where the remains of seven presidents have been parked, and the weddings of many presidential daughters have been held. President Roosevelt has watched Japanese sumo shows here, and President Kennedy has Enjoy the beautiful performance ... "
The staff is still introducing, but Tang Tian recalled some things now.
In the past life, McGrady is indeed the Spurs signed this season.
Outsiders think that it is McGrady who wants to mix a championship ring before retiring. After all, he has already played in the CA Qingdao team last season.
However, judging from the exchange between Vicky and Buford, the Spurs should sign Tracy McGrady for him to play the role of James.
Speaking of which, it's quite appropriate.
McGrady is now a lot heavier than the peak period, and the shot is still there. In the training game, it is really useful.
And to be honest, he and Green are both in the second position. No one can match James in the third position except Leonard.
After accepting the president's meeting, and after taking a group photo in front of the South Courtyard introduced by the staff and giving away the jersey, the Spurs' trip to the White House was almost over.
And just after the team ended the game with the Wizards and returned to San Antonio the next day, the Spurs officially announced a message.
The team cut James Anderson and reached a signing contract with McGrady at the end of the year.
"T-Mac hit the Spurs' ride? He is the only player among NA's scoring champions who has not broken through the first round of the playoffs."
"Since playing the Jazz in the 2008 playoffs, T-Mac has not played in the playoffs. The purpose of this contract is not clear."
"T-Mac will qualify for the playoffs because he has not entered any team's roster this season nor was he laid off before March 1."
...
After the news broke, the response from the United States was relatively calm, but domestic fans exploded in an instant.
If you know that McGrady has just finished her CA season, it is at the peak of popularity in China.
"What's wrong with me, is McGrady finally getting the championship ring?"
"This time it's not the first round, it's a time to go to the top of life!"
"You talk so **** buddy! But I like it!"
"McGrady is the only super star who has assisted two Chinese players? The last one was Dayao, this time it was Tang Tian."
"And this signing is really interesting, do you remember Tracy McGrady's 35 seconds and 13 minutes! That's the Spurs!"
"In order to never have to go through the scene of 35 seconds and 13 minutes again, we decided to sign Tracy McGrady! (≧? ≦)?"
"Anyway, the Spurs are defending champions, and now the league's first, McGrady really has a chance to get his championship ring this time!"
"Really looking forward to that scene, Tang Tian come on, you are our present, but McGrady is our youth, I hope you can make our youth no regrets!"
...
On the third day after the Spurs announced their signing, McGrady reported to the Spurs.
He looks really fat, and by the end of his career, "Fat Wheat" is indeed worthy of the name.
"13 seconds in 35 seconds."
Ginobili didn't call McGrady's name up, but greeted him directly in 35 seconds and 13 minutes.
Maddie laughed and hugged Ginobili.
Parker and Dior also stepped forward to say hello.
Their words have an intersection with McGrady's career.
"Hey, Don."
McGrady took the initiative to come to Tang Tian after saying hello to them.
"Yao and I said that we must have a good relationship with you so that the next time he invites you to dinner, he can let me take a message.
McGrady said when he came up.
Tang Tian smiled and got up and shook hands with McGrady and hit his shoulder.
McGrady's words are close, but they should not be false.
He and Yao clearly haven't met each other yet. It would be much more convenient to have Teddy, a new teammate, to match.
McGrady used the wardrobe that Anderson had used before, which was close to Tang Tian's location.
It didn't take long to sit down ~ www.novelhall.com ~ He slid the chair to Tang Tian by his legs.
"Gang Manu said you will practice every night?" McGrady asked.
Tang Tian nodded, he is now completely accustomed to training at night, even without training will be uncomfortable.
"That's right, I want to recover now, and I'll be together."
This is Maddie, about Tang Tian trained together.
Tang Tian smiled and nodded, glancing at Dior unconsciously.
Speaking of Dior, when he first came, he was also a fat man. Now Fat Wheat also has to train with him. He is destined to be fat. d
