Tang Tian didn't expect Popovich to come.

This was an unexpected surprise on this trip to San Antonio.

And it seems that Popovich came specifically for him.

This reminded him of the scene when Popovich went to New York to find himself alone four years ago.

Time is indeed the fastest and least sensible thing ever.

Lunch was made in a car repair shop. Duncan really just had a hobby and even built a canteen behind the car repair shop.

Seeing Popovich's familiarity with the road, he probably came to eat a lot.

Pour red wine, drink, eat and chat.

Everything seemed to be back in the Spurs era, but the difference was that Davis had a little alcohol tolerance and fell down in a short while.

Next was Duncan, and in the end, there were only two people with red faces, Tang Tian and Popovich.

"You kid is so cruel. You're going to have a four-star lineup, or Walker and Butler. You're going to be a small group!"

Popovich said everything even though he drank high.

"I'm all forced, and I don't want to do it either, why don't you let Xiao Hua go back?"

Tang Tian also spoke without any hesitation.

Popovich laughed after hearing this.

"That's right, I like Tetm too. If it weren't for that boy Leonard being injured, you might not have had a chance to win the championship last season."

Popovich said as another big mouthful of red wine went down.

When it comes to basketball at the beginning of the century, the Spurs are the ones that benefit the most.

The master and apprentice are really drunk.

"But old man, when it comes to Leonard's kid, you have to pay more attention to his injuries. He is the Spurs' face in the next ten years, so you have to pay more attention to it."

Tang Tian got off the plane and remembered this in his mind, and now he said it all.

"He's fine, he's probably going to play early in the season."

Popovich disagreed.

"I'm serious."

Tang Tian's expression suddenly became serious and serious.

He didn't catch a cold at all, but Leonard and Popovich were very concerned.

Especially Popovich, Tang Tian knows how sad he is after Leonard leaves in history.

With the current relationship between the two of them, he doesn't want to see Popovich become like that.

"It is very common for players to apply for trades during the contract period, and you have also met Howard's experience. You should pay more attention to him and take good care of him. He will become your next Duncan."

Tang Tian said seriously.

Popovich put down his wine glass, and his drunkenness was gone.

The two things Tang Tian said are indeed true.

"I will."

Popovich nodded at the end.

A bunch of people were drunk and it was already evening when they woke up.

Tang Tian took Davis around the San Antonio River, introducing the local scenery like an indigenous person, and telling the scene of his winning parade here.

The next morning they returned to New Orleans first, and Tang Tian also announced that the new training camp for the Hard Training Brothers was officially opened in his own manor.

Walker, Butler, Davis and Tang Tian will start first, and Irving, Thompson, Drummond, Lamb and Napier will also come in a few days.

This year's training camp will open early, and people will come a lot more than in previous years.

On the first day, Procopio was helping them correct the technical details.

Tang Tian and Davis basically have nothing to change, but Walker and Butler, who were the first time they received guidance from Procopio, had a very obvious effect.

Butler, especially, started his own training method of Mait Kai.

And I don’t know if it’s because Cecilia often wanders in and out of the stadium, butler is full of hormones during training.

Speaking of Cecilia's appearance and figure are too lethal to men.

Butler, the only one who was single in their brother group was hard to train.

So, as soon as Cecilia appeared, they began to whistle at Butler, and even Cecilia was embarrassed.

It was Tang Tian who was alone and Shi Lizi, so these people were quiet.

Your own nutritionist is not something you can tease.

Just the third day after the training camp started, Duncan came.

This is also the time that Tang Tian made an appointment with Duncan before.

However, what Tang Tian didn't expect was that it was not just Duncan who came.

And Parker!

"You don't mind having one more person in the boot camp, do you?"

Duncan asked with a smile when he came in.

"Of course not, you can eat and stay!"

Tang Tian smiled and went up to say hello to Parker.

It was an absolute surprise that Parker could come.

Not just because of Parker’s relationship with them.

Moreover, as early as NCAA, Walker told Tang Tian that Parker was his idol!

If you pay attention, Walker is excited at the back now.

Although he has played against the court many times as an opponent, just like Davis met Duncan before, the meaning of meeting in private is different!

Not to mention meeting your idol!

"Tony, since you are here, I will hand over Kemba to you, and he treats you as his idol."

Tang Tian was also very direct, pointing at Walker when he said hello.

"No problem, I enjoyed playing against him on the court."

Parker said with a smile.

There are not many short guards in the NBA, and they all have a good impression of each other.

Just like between Iverson and Paul, Thomas Jr., and Nate Robinson, the former always encourages and appreciates the people behind, and the latter always regards the former as a role model.

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Walker was already running over there.

"Tony."

Walker said hello, but was shy as if he was still in the NCAA period.

"Kenba, I'll be a little bit of abusive next season."

Parker was very relaxed and joked as soon as he came up.

Several people laughed.

The word "light abuse" has probably become a catchphrase for opponents next season since the Pelicans formed a four-star lineup.

Several people exchanged greetings for a while, and then started training soon.

Walker and Parker were still sitting and talking about some technical issues, and Duncan has begun to guide Davis in practicing low-level techniques.

The remaining Tang Tian and Butler directly started one-on-one.

Like Walker, Butler also reached his career peak last year, especially in the playoffs, becoming synonymous with toughness.

But his offense and defense were still falling below in front of Tang Tian.

But just like the protagonists in the anime need to upgrade by fighting with their stronger opponents, one-on-one with Tang Tian is the best way for Butler to continue to evolve.

This principle agrees to apply to Tang Tian.

Butler does not have a good physical talent, and his defense depends on aggressive candy defense.

Faced with such a defense, the ball-handling technology requirements for the ball holder are very high.

Tang Tian exposed his weaknesses in ball control technology in the Western Conference Finals and the Finals last year. In addition to his ability to exchange krypton gold, he also had to improve his basic attributes.
