Um, hard as iron.

Alson lay limply in Tang Tian’s arms.

Tang Tian didn't know what was going on lately, his output was becoming more and more explosive.

She was almost unable to take it anymore.

Tang Tian rested for a while and got up.

"Going to the training hall again?"

Alson asked with a bit of concern.

Tang Tian was not only doing extra training at night now, but he would also go to the gym to train before the team's training in the morning.

"Yeah, you can sleep a bit longer, I'll be back after training at noon."

Tang Tian said with a smile, then turned and kissed Alson on the forehead before heading out the door.

Alson's movie promotion work was almost done, and now she had more time to spend with Tang Tian.

When Tang Tian arrived at the training hall, Procopio was already there.

He quickly began specialized strength training for his waist, abdomen, and arms under Procopio's guidance.

Because he couldn't skip the ball-handling and dynamic vision training at night, he could only choose to do this part in the morning.

Fortunately, he had Procopio, who could provide scientific training, preventing his body from being unable to handle it due to overtraining.

Inviting him into his team was truly the wisest decision he could have made.

After finishing the training, Tang Tian sat on the sidelines drenched in sweat, with Procopio sitting next to him.

"You've been doing extra training in this area for almost 2 months now, how is it, is it effective?"

Procopio chatted with Tang Tian.

Tang Tian nodded with a smile.

It was indeed very effective, Alson used to beg for mercy after five rounds, but now she couldn't last three.

Waist strength was indeed a good thing.

Procopio laughed after hearing this, he was an experienced person and could guess it from Tang Tian's expression.

"By the way, Mike, the contract we signed is about to expire, are you willing to renew it?"

Tang Tian turned his head and asked, also changing the subject.

He initially signed a short 2-year contract with Procopio.

"Why not?"

Procopio paused for a moment, then said with a smile.

Tang Tian nodded with a smile, he had to prepare a long-term contract for Procopio this time, he and Karl were now the two most important people in his team.

"By the way, has anyone been looking for you during this time?"

Tang Tian continued to ask, generally speaking, when a top trainer's contract was about to expire, other athletes would come knocking on their door.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Procopio pretended to be mysterious.

"Of course, the truth."

"Yes, James Harden, Kevin Love, and Paul George have all contacted me."

Procopio mentioned the important people.

"Harden and George both contacted you?"

Tang Tian was a little surprised, it seemed he was a bit lucky to sign Procopio back then.

"Yes, but I directly rejected them."

Procopio said with a smile.

"So decisively? They're not bad either."

Tang Tian got along very well with Procopio and didn't hold back when he spoke.

"Yes, they are good, but you will be even better than them in the future."

Tang Tian felt very happy hearing Procopio say that.

"Not because you still have a contract with me?"

Tang Tian said with a smile.

"No, this isn't flattery, this is my judgment, I see a lot of Kobe's traits in you."

Procopio said with a smile.

"Shooting bricks?"

"The same hard work, the same self-discipline, the same intelligence, of course, you are better than him in that you are not so stubborn."

Tang Tian laughed after hearing this, Procopio had never complimented him like this before, this must be what he really thought.

"And I don't know why, I feel your potential is particularly great, not physically, but purely in terms of ability, like when you came back from the Olympics your passing suddenly became very stable."

Procopio said, and Tang Tian smiled a little awkwardly.

He had the system's assistance after all.

Procopio was indeed a top trainer, he saw all these details completely.

"So I think you will have a breakthrough in the next year or two, and even maintain this rate of progress, it is not impossible to surpass Kobe in the future."

Procopio gave a very high evaluation in the end.

He wasn't a keyboard warrior or an armchair expert, but a real top trainer in the industry, who had seen or trained countless stars.

His evaluation was really more professional than many media experts.

"Yes, I will."

Tang Tian also replied affirmatively.

When he was in the nCAA, he played basketball to help UConn win the championship.

Last season, it was because he rekindled his love for basketball.

But now for him, surpassing Kobe, Jordan, and other historical superstars as a player was one of his goals.

He was lucky to be reborn, so he would make it as wonderful as possible!

The Heat had previously won the crucial Game 5 and also obtained the series point.

The sixth game between the two sides moved to Indiana.

Heat fans were looking forward to the Heat being able to end the series directly on the road, but their expectations were dashed again.

And not just dashed, but suffered a huge blow.

In Indiana, the Heat lost the rebounding battle 33 to 53, a massive 20 rebounds!

This wasn't just a problem with the inside game, considering that the Pacers' starting shooting guard, Lance Stephenson, grabbed 12 rebounds himself!

Moreover, the Heat turned from the Big Three into a one-man show in the face of tough defense, with Wade shooting 3 for 11 for 10 points, and Bosh 1 for 8 for 5 points and 4 rebounds.

The other role players were also cold, relying only on James's 29 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists to prop them up.

They ultimately lost to the Pacers 77 to 91, and the series was dragged into a Game 7.

"Tang, you were too absolute, I think the Pacers have a chance with this kind of form."

After watching this game, Green said to Tang Tian with a smile.

They were only defending the title, and they definitely had more confidence in playing the Pacers than the Heat.

"Isn't there still Game 7?"

Tang Tian said calmly.

Game 7, in Miami, the Pacers couldn't possibly beat the Heat in such a close game.

Two days later, the Eastern Conference Finals Game 7 started at the American Airlines Arena.

This was the second consecutive year that they were playing a Game 7 at home.

After the first quarter, the score was 21 to 19, with the Heat leading slightly.

But in the second quarter, James began to attack the basket strongly, drawing fouls on Hibbert and West continuously, and frequently stepping onto the free throw line.

The Heat won this quarter 33 to 16, outscoring the Pacers by 17 points, and also establishing the victory.

In the end, James shot 8 for 17 from the field, 15 for 16 from the free throw line, and scored a whopping 32 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists.

Wade also scored 21 points on 7 for 7 free throws.

With 33 for 38 free throws, the Heat defeated the Pacers 99 to 76 in Game 7, and advanced to the NBA Finals for the third consecutive year!

After watching Game 7, Green helplessly gave Tang Tian a thumbs up.

"Bro, you really predicted it like a god!"

After experiencing many twists and turns, the Heat and Spurs met in the NBA Finals for the second consecutive year!
