The Godfather of Basketball

As a time traveler, it is impossible for Tang Tian not to know about Swift's songwriting.

In her previous life, Swift had a boyfriend and wrote a song once they broke up.

In the end, it was already hard to tell whether she was in love for love or purely for inspiration to write songs.

Of course, that was in the previous life.

The current Swift's life trajectory has changed a lot because of her encounter with Tang Tian. Now she is a pure and innocent little girl.

After experiencing the initial shock, Tang Tian slowly came back to his senses.

"I want to write a song for you, can't I?" Swift mustered up his courage, but Tang Tian didn't expect such a reaction.

"Okay, yes, that's... what song are you going to write?" Tang Tian said as he drove the car to the side of the road with double flashing on, and he simply didn't leave.

"A song about love." Swift blushed.

love……

"Have you ever wondered what the name of the song is?" Tang Tian pulled the brake.

"Well, I've thought about it, and I'm going to call it "love.story"." Swift said with a slightly red face.

Tang Tian shook his hands when he heard it.

"love.story", even if you don't know Swift very well, most of you have heard this song, which is one of Swift's classic songs.

In the previous life, the background of this song was that Swift's parents objected to her being with an unknown boy. She returned to the room after a big fight and got the inspiration from Shakespeare's classic tragedy "Romeo and Juliet". Wrote the song, said to have only taken 20 minutes.

The hero of the story is not well-known, but the unknown boy is also an ex-boyfriend!

The problem is that Swift is not dating anyone now, so why is this song still coming out!

Or, just a coincidence, the song is this song, and the content has changed?

Judging by Swift's expression, there is a high probability that this is the case.

"Did you write the lyrics?" Tang Tian asked nervously. Swift said it was written for him, and he didn't want to become an ex-boyfriend without knowing it.

"Not yet, I will show you as soon as I finish writing." Swift said with a smile.

"Yes, you must show me the first time, and you must be the first one." Tang Tian said seriously.

"Yes, I will." Swift looked at Tang Tian suspiciously, wondering what was wrong with him.

"Ahem, I'll take you back to the hotel first." Tang Tian was afraid that after staying with Swift for a long time, the latter said that he had an inspiration, so he hurriedly drove her to the hotel.

After the finals came to an end, after two days of rest, the Rockets held a huge championship parade in Houston.

Compared with last year, this year's parade has a larger lineup and more fans watching.

The basketball atmosphere in Houston is not very good in the league, but as the team completed two consecutive championships, this situation has been greatly changed.

During the parade, because there were more exuberant players like Pietrus and Francis in the team, the overall atmosphere was much better than last year.

As a coach, Tang Tian also received unprecedented attention during the parade.

The most obvious point is that at the end of the parade, all of his friend requests on social media were beautiful girls.

It is unprecedented for him to be a coach.

But he didn't have time to deal with these. As soon as the championship parade was over, he went back to the team's preparations for the new season.

The difference between this year and last year is that because he still has a contract with the Rockets, he doesn't have to worry about being harassed by other general managers.

Because the finals played 6 games, the time has come to June 21, and there is only less than a week before the start of the 2008 NBA Draft.

During this period, Tang Tian and Morey had already communicated, and the draft goals were relatively clear.

But before the draft, Uncle Mu came to find Tang Tian privately, not for anything else but because he was about to retire.

"I have played in the league for 17 seasons. What has always supported me is the motivation from the championship. Last year because the team needed me, I persisted for another season, but now I know it is time for me to retire."

Mutombo's confession is very sincere. Last year, Hayes and Uncle Huo were short and old. He had to spend a lot of time as a substitute. Landry's outstanding performance, he basically does not have to play.

Now that he is retiring, he is making room for the Rockets' draft and signings for the new season.

For this veteran who has played for the team for 4 years, the Rockets management is not stingy. After discussing with Uncle Mu, let the latter stay on the team as an assistant coach in charge of physical training.

Although what happened to Uncle Mu was a bit sudden, it was more or less expected.

But it was a bit unexpected for Barea to come to Tang Tian after that.

After the short point guard won two championship rings with the Rockets, he approached Tang Tian directly and expressed his intention to transfer.

Generally, players are looking for the general manager when they transfer. Barea first looked for Tang Tian. On the one hand, it shows that he has a good relationship with Tang Tian. On the other hand, it also shows that his transfer is not because he is unhappy with the Rockets.

"I need to go to a place where there are more opportunities."

This is the core reason for Barea.

Last year, he became the team's backup point guard at the beginning, but was gradually replaced by Sun Yue. Although he played some sporadic playing time, next season is his contract year, and he obviously doesn't want to do this anymore.

Although somewhat unexpected, it seems to be reasonable.

Coincidentally, the team that Barea wants to go to is the same as his previous life, the Mavericks.

The Mavericks traded for Kidd, but there has been no suitable backup point guard. Most of the time, Terry is swinging and playing, and the effect is not very good. This is obviously an opportunity for Barea.

Barea wanted to leave, but Tang Tian didn't stop him. After all, it was related to the former's future career, and the Rockets used him for two years without spending a single draft pick. It was still a non-guaranteed contract. worth it.

Morey quickly contacted the Mavericks after learning about the situation. Although he couldn't make it public, the two sides have basically reached an agreement that there will be a deal on draft night.

The stars moved, and a week passed in the blink of an eye.

The day before the draft, Tang Tian, ​​Morey, Thibodeau, Jones, and Smith boarded a plane to New York.

Like last year, this year's draft was also held at Madison Square Garden in New York.

Compared with last year, this year's starlight is much dimmer, but Derrick Rose, Michael Beasley, Kevin Love, these super rookies who have killed the Quartet in college still attracted the saliva of many teams.
