However, it was quite obvious that the "love" Grandma Olsen spoke of and the "love" Olsen spoke of weren't the same thing.

That was the elder generation's love for the younger generation...probably.

As for the Olsen sisters, they didn't actively want to see Olsen, and Tang Tian and Olsen didn't plan to actively see them either.

Once this round was over, they would start moving.

Originally, their plan was to buy an apartment in New Orleans during the offseason, but Olsen's father gave them a villa, so they could skip that step.

Returning to San Antonio, Tang Tian felt a multitude of emotions.

After all, he had lived in this city for two years, and the championship parade on the riverboat and horseback was still vivid in his mind.

Olsen was packing things in the apartment, and Tang Tian drove to the AT&T Center alone.

Parking the car in the basement, he unconsciously thought of Richard Jefferson from back then as soon as he got out of the car.

Walking to the elevator, he seemed to see a kind-hearted Green holding the elevator door for him.

Even when he came out of the elevator and walked to the entrance, he vaguely saw Popovich sitting there shining his shoes.

Everything felt like it was just yesterday.

He patted his head, thinking that old people always paid special attention to these things.

The AT&T Center wasn't open to the public during the offseason, but players could use it.

Tang Tian wasn't a member of the Spurs anymore, but the security guard at the entrance still recognized him. He said he was there to pick up some things, and they let him in directly.

Pushing open the door of the locker room, Tang Tian was surprised to find the lights on. He glanced over and saw a pair of sneakers in front of Leonard's stool.

It seemed Leonard was putting in extra practice at the training facility.

That was good.

He was leaving, and Leonard would inevitably have to shoulder more responsibility next season. His third year as a rookie, it was time for him to take on that responsibility.

He opened the locker to sort through his things.

There wasn't much, just two pairs of sneakers and a few pieces of clothing, and the gifts his teammates had given them for their birthdays that he hadn't had time to take back.

Dior cologne from Diaw, a razor from Duncan, a Rolex watch from Parker, hair conditioner from Green…

Taking out each item brought back a memory.

It seemed he should prepare some gifts for these former teammates when he played at the Spurs' home court again.

Reaching into the back of the locker, he found the box of BYT that Ginobili had given him.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh.

It seemed like he hadn't used a single one of those things.

But his laughter stopped.

Silently putting everything away, he took one last look at the maxims in the locker room.

He put the things on the bench first, found a cloth, and wiped off the dust.

After doing all this, he picked up his things and prepared to leave.

Just as he exited the locker room, he saw Leonard walking towards him.

"Tang."

Leonard smiled and greeted him directly when he saw him.

In the Spurs, Tang Tian was the only one who saw him smile often.

"Kawhi."

Tang Tian greeted Leonard.

If the barbershops weren't closed for the offseason, he would've wanted to get a haircut with Leonard again.

The two of them chatted in the locker room for a while.

"Kawhi, keep up the good work. If you don't play well, I'll be the first one to take action, even before the old man does."

When they finished talking and were about to part ways, Tang Tian deliberately said it in a fierce tone.

Leonard nodded with a smile. To him, Tang Tian was like an older brother. He listened to Tang Tian even more than he listened to Popovich.

Leonard saw Tang Tian to the entrance. Tang Tian took one last look at the blue and white spherical team logo above the entrance before getting in the car and driving away.

Because it was a rental, he didn't have many things. After packing them up, he had the moving company take them away. He and Olsen then flew to New Orleans.

Tang Tian had been to New Orleans several times before when playing away games.

New Orleans was the second largest port city in the United States, the largest port city in the Gulf of Mexico, and was also known as the City of Water or the Crescent City.

The entire city of New Orleans was located at the entrance of the Mississippi River, and its geographical location was very similar to that of Shanghai, China.

The Mississippi River ran through the middle of the city, dividing New Orleans into upper and lower cities, plus Lake Pontchartrain in the north of the city, surrounded by water on all sides.

The entire city was located about ten feet below sea level and was protected by high levees on all sides.

It was like a bowl filled with water, hence the name City of Water.

The roads in the upper and lower cities were mostly parallel to the course of the river. The Mississippi River made a big bend at the entrance, and the roads also curved and spread out like a fan, so it was also called the Crescent City.

The plane landed at New Orleans International Airport.

Tang Tian and Olsen took a taxi to their suburban villa.

The villa was upstream of the city.

Because New Orleans was hit by hurricanes every year, the upstream area was safer than the downstream area, and it was also a residential area for the wealthy.

A Spanish-style building, about four or five hundred square meters, looked quite valuable.

New Orleans was a French colony for a long time, and then Napoleon was exiled and passed through the hands of many countries.

After American independence, an accidental fire burned down most of the French buildings, leaving mostly Spanish styles.

Olsen's father was quite fond of his children.

The villa had three and a half floors, plus a basement. From upstairs, you could overlook the Mississippi River. The environment was very good.

And the villa also had a swimming pool and a large lawn in the back.

Tang Tian looked at it and thought it would be enough to build a basketball half-court if the lawn was pushed away.

And there was another advantage: it was only a few kilometers away from the Pelicans' home court, the New Orleans Arena, making it very convenient to drive there.

Whether it was intentional or coincidental, it was really suitable for them.

They waited at the villa for a while, and the people from the moving company moved all the luggage over.

Of course, this was only a small part. Moving into a new home, it was always inevitable to add things to it.

Tang Tian directly called Carl over, threw him some money, and then asked him to run errands.

But even so, it took several days to get it done.

Looking at the brand-new home, the two were filled with emotion, and then fought hard in the new house for a night.

Tang Tian had long forgotten what Olsen's mother had told him.

He was woken up the next day by the sound of a video call. Tang Tian got up and looked at the time. It was already noon.

He got up and took the video outside. It was Walker calling.

"When are you coming back? There's someone here waiting for you to claim them."

Tang Tian was stunned when he heard Walker's words.

Those words sounded quite familiar!

That's right, last offseason, when he finished the playoffs and went to New York, Walker said the same thing.

The instigator at the time was Butler.

But the video shook, and then a thick-browed, big-eyed guy appeared.

Anthony Davis.

Davis greeted him, but the first sentence he said almost made him vomit blood.

"I searched all the training facilities in New York before I finally found you guys."
