Chapter 429： 15th National People's Congress

"Can you help the team make the playoffs in the new season?"

"What kind of player do you think Anthony Davis is?"

"What kind of performance do you expect to play in the new season?"

"Is there any psychological difference from winning the team to rebuilding the team?"

...

The questions are one by one. This new aid meeting is more like Tang Tian's personal meeting.

"Our training camp has started for more than a month, and the performance over the past month has given me reason to believe that this is a playoff team."

"AD is AD. He is one of the most talented inside players. He will become a true superstar in the next few years."

"My performance? You'll be surprised by the start of the season."

"No, man, the team got me and Zhu this past summer. We are no longer rebuilding the team, we are also the championship team."

...

Tang Tian's answer should be steady, steady, and skinny, and the words revealed confidence in himself and the team.

In addition to the day, general manager Demps and boss Benson also expressed optimism about Tang Tian joining at the conference.

"We believe he will be the next Ray Allen."

Demps gave Tang Tian a very good template.

Most fans just remember that Ray Allen was a three-pointer during the Celtics.

But in fact, at the peak of the Sonics, he averaged nearly 25 + 5 + 5 per year and had about 1.5 steals.

Presenting this template shows that Demps' expectations for Tang Tian's new season are quite high.

"He will be the best helper around AD. He has championship experience and he will help this team enter the playoffs."

Benson also has high hopes for Tang Tian.

After the meeting, both the Pelicans fans and local media in New Orleans are looking forward to the new season.

"AD is our Michael Jordan, and now we have our Scottie Pippen!"

"Holliday + Gordon + Don + Anderson + AD, this lineup is not ready for the playoffs ?! Let us rush!"

"I can't wait for the new season, let's get started!"

...

In the fans 'expectation, the preseason officially opened on October 6. The Pelicans' first game was at home against the Houston Rockets.

However, Tang Tian did not participate in this game, he even appeared on the bench.

He suffered his first injury to New Orleans.

Perhaps it was because he was not used to coming to the coastal city from an inland city. He caught the flu, and it was more serious.

Because he was afraid of contagion to his teammates, he didn't come to practice in the past two days.

More than just playing the Rockets, Tang Tian was recovering throughout the preseason. Until the last two games of the preseason, he better participated in the team's joint training.

The Pelicans' strength was significantly enhanced compared to last season. The preseason performance was also very good. Williams did not arrange Tang Tian to play in the last two games.

In this way, Tang Tian is considered to have missed the first preseason career of the Pelicans because of a flu.

Fans can only see Tang Tian after the start of the regular season.

After the preseason game, the Pelicans completed the final layoffs, Lance Thomas, Josh Childress and Arinz Onuaku were successively cut.

After this layoff, the team's 15-man roster was finally released.

Point guards: Holloday, Reeves Jr., Brian Roberts

Shooting guards: Gordon, Morrow

Small forwards: Tang Tian, ​​Aminu, Dalius Miller, Ci Shiping

Power forwards: Davis, Ryan Anderson

Centers: Jason Smith, Steensma, Akinsa, Jeff Vichy

The team's regular season first game is the Rockets, and the preseason opener is an opponent, the difference is that this time they played away.

The Pelicans and the Texas top three belong to the Southwest season, and they have to play four times each season, which is also a major reason why they are difficult to enter the playoffs.

On the morning of the game, the team flew to Houston.

The attendance rate of Toyota Center was surprisingly high, more than 80%, and there were quite a few Chinese fans at the scene.

About an hour before the start of the game, the players of both teams are in the locker room to make final preparations for the game.

In the Pelicans' locker room, Williams has not yet come, and the players are changing shoes and jerseys.

Tang Tiangang changed his red away jersey, and the phone suddenly shocked.

He picked it up and saw it turned out to be the news from McGrady.

This is really weird. McGrady would send him a message before the game?

He looked away.

The content is simple.

"Blast the guy named James Harden."

Tracy McGrady is a famous Rocket, does this not deal with Harden?

But after watching for a while, he suddenly remembered.

Last year the Spurs played the Rockets' first game in the playoffs when McGrady scored 7 points.

At the post-match press conference, a reporter said this and asked him if McGrady would be in trouble for the Rockets.

Harden responded at the time: "T-Mac is no longer the protagonist of this league."

This sentence is no problem in itself, but Harden as the core of the rocket, so straightforward to say that the rocket is famous, it seems a little inappropriate.

And McGrady's character is actually more sensitive.

In previous lives, JR Smith once tweeted that the peak Durant could easily beat the peak McGrady, and then the Magic's Fournier liked it.

At that time, McGrady was already a special commentator of ESPN. He directly opened Smith and Funier.

Fournier, in particular, knows that Magic is the team that McGrady won two scoring titles.

Tracy McGrady is a Durant idol, not to mention that both of them are really similar in character.

So if you look at it this way, it's really reasonable that Maddie didn't wait to see him because of what Harden had said.

"I will."

Tang Tian returned the message.

In fact, McGrady would do the same without sending a message. This is the season he left the Spurs to prove himself. The first game must be a starter.

As soon as Tang Tian finished texting, Williams took Borrego to the locker room.

"Zhu, your main defense is Harden, Don, you play a little more at the beginning, AD, you play more pick-and-rolls ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Williams comes in, picks up the tactical board, and starts to arrange the team's opening tactics.

Tang Tian was absent from the game because of the flu, and missed a chance to run in with the team.

But this absence is also good. Tang Tian's dry drawing has not been used in the official game. This is an opportunity to catch the Rockets off guard.

"Guys, we have worked hard for more than a month, so let us all reward ourselves with a victory!"

Williams finished tactics and shouted at the players before starting.

"New Orleans!"

The team members shouted the slogan again, then all got up and went to the playing field.

The Pelicans' first show of the new season is coming soon!
