Chapter 349: We Need Godfathers (2/10)

The next day, Tang Tian arrived at New Olsen with the team and will play the second game of the season against the Hornets.

The Hornets have been rebuilding since Paul's departure, and fan attention has plummeted, but the success of selecting Anthony Davis this season has given fans a lot of anticipation for the future.

The team's upcoming match against the Spurs has also sparked a heated discussion among fans on social media.

"The last time we played the Spurs, AD (short for Anthony Davis) had 25 points and 11 boards, and he was full of energy against Duncan."

"That's why we're still looking at this team, AD is our future!"

"We're actually not bad with Vasquisga Eric Gordon on the outside, Aminu and AD up front, Robin Lopes at center, Ryan Anderson and Austin Rivers on the bench."

"Yes, our roster is underrated, Vasquith can contribute 14 points and 9 assists every night, Ryan has 17 points and 7 boards every night off the bench, and we will be back in the playoffs in a few seasons!"

"Should we change coaches? Tim Williams looks like he can't do anything without Paul. ”

"No, man, Williams is a great coach, he's been able to develop AD with the naked eye, and we need to be patient."

"It's a pity, I'm actually looking forward to the combination of Paul and AD, who will eat bread until he vomits."

"Paul is in the team and we can't be bad, we can't have AD if we don't play bad, so, let's forget about Paul, I heard we're going to change our name soon, so it's our freshman, just like our city."

"Yes, according to insiders, it seems that the name has been changed to be called Pelican."

"Pelicans? What is that? ”

"Brother, you must be an otaku, you have to go out and see the outside world more, even if you don't go out, you have to use Google more, that's the state bird of our state!"

"Yes, it would be popular if it was the name, it was a very beautiful waterfowl and everyone loved it!"

"Wow, I just searched, it's really beautiful."

"Having said that, I actually think we should probably try to make Don next summer, he had 22 points, 5 assists and 3 steals against us last time, he can bring defense, threes, and passing, and he's the kind of No. 3 we need the most."

"Don is the No. 3 spot that all teams in the league want, and the key is that he's still so young."

"Dude, you can really think about it, next summer, Okafor's big contract is over, and Carman's contract is over, and then we'll all have to find a way to sign free agents to fill the poor line, we have exactly enough salary space, and we have it for the next few years!"

"I can't hate it!"

……

Hornets fans are paying close attention to this game, but for the Spurs, it was just a regular game for them in January.

Davis hasn't grown yet, he's only going to eat cakes and blocks, Gordon has a significantly lower ceiling since his injury to a short guard, and other role players aren't very competitive in the West.

However, as a young team, they played tenaciously at home and remained in a stalemate with the Spurs until the fourth quarter.

But in the final quarter, they completely lost experience and ended up losing 87-103.

Tang Tian was in a good mood before receiving the endorsement fee, and he shot very strongly in the game, and he felt amazing.

He made nine three-pointers and finished with 30 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

The score was a season-high and tied his career record for points scored in a single game.

After the game, Tang Tian's outstanding performance also sparked another wave of heated discussions among Hornets fans on social media.

"30 points! He completely blew up Aminu, the gap is really too big, really, I can't think of a reason why we won't offer Don next year! ”

"He'll be the best helper by AD's side!"

"Look at what he's doing to the Spurs right now, he's going to be our Scottie Pippen!"

"In the future, we're going to need him against Durant, against Harden, against those powerful small forwards and shooting guards in the West!"

"Dale Demps (Hornets general manager), do you hear that? We need Don! We need godfathers! ”

……

The Hornets' buzz hasn't fallen yet.

The Spurs flew to Charlotte the next day to play the Bobcats.

Walker has been an eye-catcher this season, and with little change to the roster, the Bobcats are now ninth in the East and have a chance to make the playoffs.

took Walker in advance by signing and swapping, and spent one season to level Walker, which became the most eye-catching operation in Jordan's boss career.

Walker and Bobcats have improved significantly, but they are still a bit worse than the Spurs.

Walker scored 26 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists in this game, but the team still lost 81-101.

Tang Tian continued his good hand, scored 5 points, and scored 20 points, 5 assists, 5 steals and 1 block in the game.

After the game, like the Hornets fans, Bobcats fans also made a wave of recruitment for Tang Tian on social media.

And because of the relationship between Walker and Tang Tian who won the championship together at UConn, this call is even stronger.

However, Tang Tian didn't pay attention to these, and after the game, he and Walker went out for supper together.

"Kemba, you've made a lot of progress!"

As soon as Tang Tian sat down, he praised Walker.

Walker has really improved a lot, especially with passing and playmaking.

It's a bit similar to him, because the passing is also more threatening, and Walker's breakthrough is more lethal.

"But you still have to practice the three-point piece, just by breaking through to a certain level, you will be very targeted."

For Kobe, Tang Tian is a paid suggestion, but for Walker's brother, he is completely free.

Walker nodded, and he listened to all the words of his good brother.

"That's it! You're no worse than that guy in Kyrie! ”

Tang Tian said as he clinked glasses with Walker.

Because Augustin was traded, Walker got more work last season.

Coupled with the continuous hard work with him in the offseason, and the early development of three-point shooting ability, his development prospects are really not worse than Irving.

"Don, come to Charlotte, just like we did in Connecticut."

Walker nodded, and suddenly spoke.

"I've seen a lot of fan discussions on social media that if a lot of teams offer Spurs Poison contracts, as long as the Spurs don't match, it's up to you to choose where to go."

Walker continued.

Tang Tian glanced at Walker and smiled.

As a good brother, Walker said it wasn't too much of a problem.

"And if the Spurs do come across a poison contract, they won't necessarily match it, and they've never paid a big luxury tax for anybody."

Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Walker then added.
