Chapter 34 Teammates

After the game, Tang Tian accepted an interview with reporters on the sidelines.

"I'm very happy that the shots my teammates passed to me went in. If they hadn't, they would definitely make me treat them..."

As he was saying this, Davis, pulled by Artest, each holding a cup of water, suddenly rushed up and poured it on Tang Tian's head.

Because the pouring was hasty, the water splashed onto the female reporter's chest.

The female reporter jumped up to shake off the water, and the scene was momentarily chaotic.

Artest ran fast after pouring the water, but Davis was stunned for a moment and caught by Tang Tian, who rubbed his head.

Davis laughed like a child on the spot, seeming to enjoy it…

That kid is so submissive.

Williams, seeing this scene from a distance, couldn't hide the smile on his face.

Having Tang Tian as the main attacker from the start of this game actually put a lot of pressure on him.

After all, Tang Tian was a rookie, and putting aside Davis's gentle personality, the team's original outside core was Gordon.

If Tang Tian didn't play well, Gordon would definitely have opinions.

But Tang Tian played much better than he expected.

Even though he had already seen Tang Tian's performance during team training, this performance still amazed him.

Not only Tang Tian himself, but both he and the Pelicans team had finally gained some recognition!

Tang Tian finished the interview and returned to the locker room.

"Godfather! Godfather!"

His teammates shouted in unison at him.

Obviously, after efficiently scoring 30+10, he had already earned the trust of his teammates.

"We have T-Mac, we are invincible..."

Artest even started improvising a rap there.

Tang Tian's head hurt listening to it. Artest, did he learn that from skr?

While the Pelicans players were celebrating in the locker room, in San Antonio, four hundred kilometers away, the Spurs' management was feeling a bit uncomfortable.

Popovich was watching the game replay, and as he watched, he couldn't help but reach out and slap his forehead.

He really felt like he was getting old.

Tang Tian had improved so much in the past two years, but he had relied on his experience to assume that Tang Tian couldn't develop independent offensive capabilities.

However, Popovich was only annoyed, after all, he had wanted Tang Tian to stay in the first place.

The one who was really depressed at this time should be Holt, whose cheeks were puffed up with anger.

He really didn't expect Tang Tian to perform so explosively in his Pelicans debut.

It was like a heavy slap in the face.

If he had known that Tang Tian had this kind of strength, what was a luxury tax? Leonard was nothing in comparison!

But there is no regret medicine to take in this world.

In the end, he could only comfort himself that this was just the first game, and Tang Tian's performance would definitely drop off later.

While the Pelicans were excited and the Spurs were annoyed, the fans on social media were truly exploding, and the entire Twitter was almost paralyzed.

This was even more crazy than Harden's debut after leaving the Thunder.

You have to know that Harden's defense has always been criticized, but Tang Tian's performance was all-around offense and defense, definitely with superstar potential.

And the key thing about Tang Tian was his high shooting percentage!

There were very few free throws in his high score, basically all of them were made shots!

"This is simply blinding. I think from today onwards, the Spurs' management can replace the Thunder's management!"

"As a Spurs fan, I can't wait to blow up Buford's chrysanthemum! Were you mentally retarded? Even if Tang used to be a 3&D player, he was also the Best Defensive Player and Finals MVP!"

"Don't bring up San Antonio's small market, don't bring up the market, the Spurs' management had a mistake in their understanding of Tang Tian before. If they knew that Tang had this performance now, they would sell Diaw and Splitter together, they would renew his contract!"

"Stop talking, Spurs fans are bleeding. Our management has always been great before, but this time they really lost their minds."

"Speaking of which, the Heat promised to draft Tang Tian but gave up on him in the end, Tang double-killed the Heat, the Spurs had the opportunity to match the contract but gave up in the end, Tang…"

"Tang, professional face-slapper!"

"His strength no longer allows Tang to be low-key!"

"I'm a Pelicans fan, and I felt like I was orgasming after watching the game! Tang's pull-up is really handsome!"

"Yes, we found the next T-Mac!"

"Don't say it, it's really like that. The Raptors had both McGrady and Carter at the same time, they let McGrady go, the Spurs had both Tang and Leonard, they let Tang go..."

"History always rhymes!"

"And what's even more interesting is that the Pelicans are playing the Rockets, and the last time someone's debut was so explosive was James Harden on the opposite side."

"Harden's performance tonight was very good. The two of them staged a scoring battle."

"Speaking of fouling whenever he touches his beard in the game, it's indeed very good."

"The person upstairs is really biased. Harden only had 15 free throws, the same as the Pelicans on the other side."

"...Enough! He also contributed 5 eye defenses!"

"Cough cough, but Harden is really a jinx. He played so well last season, but the Rockets' management didn't find him any help this summer, and this season he continues to play one-on-five."

"And also, does anyone remember Durant's system player comment? I think his face hurts even more than the Spurs'!"

"Laughing and crying, be careful you get attacked by loser missiles!"

"So what if you have more money than me!"

……

When Buford was browsing the news and saw these comments, his expression was indescribably depressed.

Why is it that he always gets the blame in the end when he clearly didn't do anything?

He's going to get depressed!

At the post-match press conference, Williams was high-spirited and radiant.

"We knew a long time ago that Tang would be an excellent player. We've been watching him for a long time, and we know he has the potential to become a team leader."

"No, no, this is definitely not hindsight. His performance in his second year was a very obvious improvement compared to his first year. We had already determined that."

"He and AD also have great chemistry. He gave AD 3 assists, which is a very, very good start."

"Our starting five players all performed very well, which shows that there is a lot of chemistry between them. We are really very confident about this season!"

……

Williams was very excited, but Tang Tian was as low-key as ever, giving all the credit to his teammates.

For him, playing well in the first game was a very good start.

But after all, he was a newcomer to this team, and praising his teammates was not only to be low-key, but also something he had to do.

When Tang Tian returned to the locker room after the press conference, everyone else had already left, leaving only him and Davis.

When he took out his phone to look at it, there were many text messages inside.

"Congratulations my brother, this is really inspiring, I decided to practice two more hours tonight." Butler.

"Haha, I knew you could do it, you have always been the strongest in my heart." Walker.

"I will work harder and harder to catch up with you." Thompson.

"Tang, you are moving towards greatness." Irving.

The text messages from the hard-training brothers came the fastest, followed by some teammates from the Spurs, and Popovich's.

ps: Congratulations to Yun and Jie for becoming the leader of this book!!

ps: The explanation of McGrady's skills has been slightly modified. Originally, it increased the speed and stability of pull-up shots by 20%, but it has been changed to increase the stability of pull-up shots by 20% and reduce defensive interference by 20%.

ps: Recommend Fantasy Feather's book, "I'm Really Not a Second Generation Rich," not another book. Fantasy Feather's books are very, very good! Not a brainless novel, everyone who likes urban novels must go and read it!
