A week later, Tang Tian ended his trip to Nigeria and returned to New Orleans.
Within days, the Pelicans' training camp opened at the New Orleans Arena.
On the first day of the camp, all 14 members of the team arrived.
The Pelicans have superb strength in the new season, almost running to the dynasty. Everyone on the team can not hide the excitement.
Especially the newly added role players, this kind of pick-up is cheap, it is exciting to think about it.
But even on paper, the Pelicans' coaching staff is still very demanding.
The strength also represents pressure, and their lineup is estimated to be sprayed.
After the development of the modern social network, you can spray you regardless of so many reasons.
In addition to wasting the keyboard, they will not lose anything.
So Stevens' requirements are still the strictest, even stricter than last season.
After a class, in addition to the original teammates of the Pelicans and Butler, other newcomers have been suffering.
But it also made them realize one thing.
Nothing is accidental. Last season, the Pelicans were able to defeat the four-star Warriors and Cavaliers with that lineup to defend their title. It was not luck but hard power.
And after training, the Pelicans coaching team received an unexpected surprise.
This surprise is not Dedmond.
Dedemont practiced the three-pointer and they already knew it in advance.
What surprised them was Seacam.
In addition to the already good defense of this sophomore, whether it is a ball breakthrough or passing, or even a three-pointer, it has greatly improved from last season!
According to his current competitive status, he has a good chance to enter the team rotation in the new season!
The Pelicans coaching team was surprised, and Tang Tian was also surprised.
You know, he met Siacam in Bauchi, Nigeria before, and the latter can spend vacations with Embiid in the national park!
But this is the human subconscious.
As if he appeared there, it was a leisure time after a hard workout.
For Siam, why not?
Human subconsciousness sometimes makes people misjudge.
And Siakam has enough motivation to practice hard.
He was a rookie last season, and Brogdon, who joined the Pelicans with him, has become an indispensable player for the Pelicans backcourt.
But he had few opportunities to play last season, spending most of his time in the D-League.
There is no harm without comparison, and it must have stimulated him now.
After realizing this, Tang Tian suddenly felt that next year he could consider including Siakam in the hard brother training camp.
Before, he would choose Siakam only to open his eyes, but now that he is a hard-working player, it is necessary to recruit training camp.
This is also the biggest difference between their hard-working brothers and the Four Dust. They are constantly growing.
After training, Demps and Stevens talked.
Tang Tian said hello.
Only then did he notice that Gentry was away.
"Kim is going back to the sun."
When Demps told Tang Tian, Tang Tian was surprised.
Unlike previous Mike Brown, Gentry signed a multi-year contract with the Pelicans, and the contract is not small.
But it's not too surprising to think about it.
Water flows low and people go high.
For contract matters, you can pay some liquidated damages after you resign.
And Gentry spent 6 seasons before the Suns, and then recruiting him there, his intention to go back will be stronger.
Speaking of which, the Pelicans, like the Warriors of the previous two years, are almost becoming a training ground for assistant coaches to head coaches.
Demps's positioning is to communicate with the new chief assistant.
Gentry suddenly happened, and finding a qualified chief assistant was not easy.
"What do you think of Steve?"
Tang Tian suggested.
Steve in his mouth was Nash.
Nash has been an adviser to the Pelicans for three years and is familiar with the players. Although he has no coaching experience, his tactical literacy is really high.
Stevens nodded immediately.
He is the kind of person who admires capable people, just as he had appreciated Tang Tian before.
"Steeve probably won't accept our invitation?"
Tang Tian and Stevens agreed, and Demps had nothing to oppose, but he raised his own concerns.
In fact, when Tang Tian recruited Nash three years ago, the Pelicans had plans to let Nash enter the team's coaching team. Unfortunately, Nash did not agree.
The last consultant was also the result of Tang Tian's efforts at the beginning and after consultations between the two parties.
"I'll try it."
Tang Tian said.
Demps nodded.
At first, Nash was recruited by Tang Tian. Tang Tian was willing to try again. It was the best thing.
The season has not yet begun, and Tang Tian is now taking his family on vacation in Toronto.
Tang Tian and Nash made an appointment and flew directly.
"You want me to be the assistant coach of the team?"
"Chief Assistant."
After hearing Tang Tian's visit, Nash glanced at the two daughters who were playing in the distance, and the son who was just born to his new wife, and hesitated.
Seeing Nash's response, Tang Tianxin rejoiced.
If Nash and the three-year-old rejected it at first glance, it would be futile, but this hesitation would be different.
And Tang Tian probably guessed the reason for the change in Nash's attitude.
"I think you might want a chance to stand in the spotlight and win the championship trophy."
Tang Tian continued.
When the Pelicans first won the championship trophy two years ago, because Nash was only an adviser, he was not eligible to appear at the awards ceremony.
In the end, he just secretly kissed the trophy in the corner.
That scene was seen by Tang Tian.
For previous generations of stars, especially superstars, it is a shame that they have no crowns for life.
Nash glanced at Tang Tian for a while.
Tang Tian's words hit the heart, and it happened to his heart.
"Canada's climate is not friendly to children, and going to a port city to change the environment is also good for children."
Tang Tian strikes iron while hot.
After listening to it, he looked at Tang Tian and laughed ~ www.novelhall.com ~ He found that Tang Tian was really suitable as a lobbyist.
Three years ago he was persuaded by Tang Tian, and three years later he found he was still persuaded.
"I will go to New Orleans."
He nodded.
Out of Nash's house, Tang Tian called Stevens and Demps the first time.
Demps moved quickly there.
Although it will take a while for Nash to move, the next day, the Pelicans officially announced the news.
The Pelicans will sign a teaching assistant contract with Nash, and Nash will be the chief assistant coach of the Pelicans!
The news came out, and the Pelicans fans couldn't help but be excited again.
The four-star lineup, Stevens, has now added Nash, which is definitely more powerful!
