If he's not mistaken, Leonard's injury this time around is worse than anyone expected.

And what's even more fatal is that because of the injury communication problem with the team, Leonard and the Spurs have completely fallen out.

New Orleans is not far from San Antonio, and they get to the airport in no time.

called Duncan to confirm that he was there, and the two of them called directly.

About an hour later, they arrived at Duncan's auto repair shop.

This is a store that is larger than many 4S stores in China, covering an area of several acres, and the words "Tim's Repair Shop" at the door are very eye-catching.

It can be seen that Duncan's hobby of car repair has flourished after he retired.

Duncan seemed to be busy, and when they arrived at the store, they sat in the lounge area for a while.

Tang Tian looked around and suddenly found something very familiar.

He got up and walked over.

It was a wall-hung window, and there were many car models in the window.

At the top and in the most obvious position, there is a model car, the Dodge War Horse 1969.

The reason why Tang Tian is familiar is that this car model is a gift he gave to Duncan before he returned to San Antonio to play against the Spurs for the first time after he arrived in New Orleans.

"You like this? I'll buy it for you. ”

Davis didn't know when he also walked over, and seeing that Tang Tian's gaze had been on the car model, he couldn't help but speak.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed.

Asking Davis to spend money to buy back what he gave Duncan, well, that's actually not a bad idea.

"Don."

While he was laughing, Tang Tian heard a familiar voice.

The two turned around, and then they saw Duncan smiling at them.

Well, Duncan became a laughing boy after retiring.

Davis was stunned.

Tang Tian only told him to come to San Antonio to see a friend, but he didn't say to see Duncan.

When he came back to his senses, he was slightly excited.

Duncan is the undisputed all-time number one forward in the NBA, and although the two have played each other on the court before, this kind of private meeting is still very different.

But the next second, he was a little inexplicably sad.

He saw Duncan and Tang Tian greeting him, and then Duncan habitually touched Tang Tian's head.

This picture looks familiar!

He has been with Tang Tian for four years, and he has been touched like this for four years!

Now look at Duncan's touching method, it turns out that he is the culprit!

"Anthony."

Duncan then came over to greet Davis.

Just when Davis thought he was going to be touched on the head, Duncan reached out and shook his hand.

It seems that this is a way to express intimacy.

Seeing this, Tang Tian felt a little sorry for Davis.

In the past, the krypton value was too small, and I couldn't see Duncan's skills.

But after watching it, he has a new understanding of how he performed with the Spurs.

Duncan's red skill "Stone Buddha" has a passive skill "Touch the Head Kill", which increases the performance stability of the person who is touched by 10%.

At that time, he knew that his stable performance during his time with the Spurs was not only his personal ability, but also the blessing of this skill.

It's worth it to lose a few hairs, and there's a reason why Ginobili has a steady output.

It's a pity for Davis, not so lucky.

The three of them sat down and began to talk.

At first, we talked about Duncan's car repair shop.

He had only heard Ginobili talk about it when he was in the Olympics before, but he didn't expect it to be really good.

When he was with the Spurs before, he also heard Ginobili say that Duncan was a former champion swimmer.

It seems that Duncan is a true all-rounder, and even if he doesn't play in the NBA, he can do a great job in other areas.

Of course, talking about car repairs, or even car models, is a daily chatter.

This time I came to San Antonio on purpose, and the main reason was not because of this.

"I want you to come to my bootcamp to coach AD."

Tang Tian said his intentions.

Although confident in his absolute strength, what Bucks general manager Jon Horst said before also makes sense.

There will be a run-in problem in any lineup, and the same lineup has a different degree of tacit understanding, and the effect of playing is completely different.

The strength of the Pelicans' lineup was able to defend the title continuously, in addition to Tang Tian's personal strength, it was also a big reason that the core lineup remained unchanged for a long time.

However, it takes time to run in this thing, and to reduce this run-in time, it takes stronger personal ability.

It's like the U.S. team, a bunch of all-star players, who can win the championship in two months because their individual strength is above their opponents.

The same theory applies to the Pelicans.

It's not just Tang Tian who wants to improve his ball control and further enhance his strength, but also Walker, Butler and Davis.

In recent years, Davis's low-post technique has improved a lot, but his performance has not been stable enough.

To change that, Duncan is the most appropriate.

Duncan is the most stable interior player in the low post, and after Davis grows to 2.11 meters, he is very similar to Duncan, and he will be able to train with half the effort.

"No problem."

Duncan agreed without much thought.

In fact, it can be seen from the placement of the window car model that Tang Tian has a lot of weight in Duncan's heart.

He doesn't really make a living by repairing cars, it's just a hobby.

And being able to train a talented player like Davis is also a very exciting thing for him, who has retired as a celebrity.

Things went well, and after a little more talking, Duncan prepared to invite them to lunch.

But before that, Duncan said that another acquaintance was coming, so he threw them at the garage and drove out to pick them up.

"Don, you're so lucky to have met such an easy-going superstar when you first entered the league."

When Duncan was gone, Davis couldn't help but sigh.

Every supergiant has a personality, Kobe Bryant is paranoid, Iverson is rebellious, James is cautious in his words and deeds, but Duncan is really easy-going.

He won't object to anything you say, and he loves to laugh.

Yes, he only knew when he met in private that Duncan was so smiling.

"Ahem, am I not easygoing?"

Tang Tian said with a smile, and after speaking, he reached out and touched Davis's head.

This guy has already straightened his head to the last inch, just like him before.

Like him when he was a Spurs, he was stubborn at the end.

It's a little prickly, a little comfortable.

"Easy-going, easy-going."

Davis hurriedly shrunk his neck.

It took about an hour to wait for Duncan to return.

The acquaintances he spoke of also came.

Holding a bottle of red wine in his hand, he has gray hair and is dusty.

"I'll calculate, how long has it been since you've drunk with me, kid?"

Popovich looked at Tang Tian, his face flushed, and he said radiantly.

No wonder Duncan had to drive to pick it up in person, it turned out that this acquaintance was Popovich.
