Temple's reason for signing this contract may be simple.

Anyway, there is no second suitable player, Ding Yanyuhang is a Chinese player and Tang Tian's national team teammate.

Whoever signs is not signed, and it only costs $70,000.

Signing Ding Yanyuhang is the same as the operation of the elder brother of the Bucks who signed the mother brother that Tang Tian knew in his previous life, all to make the team boss happy.

And Ding Yanyuhang's mental attributes are good, this is a player who can get a big contract in China, but give up the contract to impact the NBA for his dream.

Although the talent is limited, he works hard enough and is the type of player that people like.

Moreover, Ding Yanyuhang is considered to be a delicate player among Asian players, and has the opportunity to grow into a bench player.

After Tang Tian was surprised, his subsequent mood was indeed happy.

Ding Yanyuhang played the Rio Olympics with him before, and Tang Tian had a very good impression of him.

And as early as two years ago, FIBA confirmed that the second World Cup (previously known as the World Championship, renamed in Spain in 2014) will be held in China.

Compared with Rio, the overall strength of the Chinese team has improved significantly in the past two years.

Yi Jianlian is playing steadily, and now he is still a starting power forward in the Nets;

Guo Allen has become the No. 1 defender in China and even in Asia, and is entering his personal peak;

Zhou Qi entered the Rockets a year earlier than in history, and had occasional bright performances last season, and he also ushered in a good opportunity when Cousins was reimbursed in the new season;

Now Ding Yanyuhang has signed a two-way contract with the Pelicans;

Wang Zhelin, Abdul Salamu, Zhai Xiaochuan, and Kelan Baike, all of whom have performed well after returning to the CBA after Rio, have also performed well and become the core figures of each team;

Coupled with Tang Tian's personal strength growth.

In 2019, the Chinese team may have a chance to overturn the American team again.

Of course, that was all later, and now Tang Tian was really happy to see Ding Yan Yuhang.

When Demps saw Tang Tian's mood, he was also overjoyed in his heart.

This sycophant is quite positive.

Two two-way players, Caruso looks bald and old, but like Ding Yanyuhang, both of them are relatively introverted.

But maybe it also has something to do with the fact that they are two-way players, and they don't really have much say compared to the rest of the team.

To use a metaphor, the team buys lunch or donuts or something, which is also Bryant's job, and it is not their turn.

But perhaps because of this, they train harder than everyone else, which also makes the atmosphere of the training camp even more high.

At the end of the first day of training, Tang Tian invited Ding Yanyuhang to his home for dinner.

When you meet your old friends in a foreign country, you always feel intimate when you meet Chinese people abroad, let alone be teammates of the national team.

Ding Yanyu sailed into Tang Tian's manor, and he also looked a little restrained.

This kind of luxurious manor comparable to Jordan is really the first time he has seen it in his life.

During the meal, the two of them also had a lot to talk about, from the experience of the Rio Olympics to Ding Yanyuhang's experience in Dallas in the past year.

"Why didn't you stay in Dallas?"

Tang Tian was surprised before, in addition to the fact that Demps would sign Ding Yanyuhang, another was that he got first-hand news from Woj.

The Mavericks are preparing to sign Ding Yanyuhang on a non-guaranteed contract this year.

"You know, the people in Dallas......"

Ding Yan Yuhang didn't finish his words, but Tang Tian already knew what he was going to say.

The problem of racism in Dallas was a big reason why he didn't choose the Mavericks back then.

He remembered the whistle of doubting life when the men's basketball team played the summer league in his previous life, and some things were still subconsciously even if they were not shown on the surface.

Not to mention in that place in Dallas.

After eating and resting for a while, Tang Tian took Ding Yanyuhang to his own stadium to train for a while.

After having a stadium, there is no need to go out of the training hall, which is quite convenient for Tang Tian.

Ding Yanyuhang was quite excited, and he didn't realize that he was sweating like rain.

"It's really convenient, I have a stadium at home."

When he finished practicing, Ding Yanyuhang couldn't help but say enviously.

"If you need it, you can stay here with me, I have a lot of guest rooms."

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.

"No, no."

Ding Yanyuhang's first reaction was very real, politeness is a habit of Chinese.

"I have a lot of rooms."

"If you feel worried about anything, you can just pay my rent, just like you live in an apartment outside, of course, the stadium is free for you."

Tang Tian is not pretending to be polite.

There are really a lot of guest rooms in his manor, and the nanny who usually doesn't live in the house will also clean them, so it's a waste to put them away.

The same goes for the arena, which is usually maintained every day.

Spend more than 100 million to buy a house, these logistics are necessary.

Of course, the most important thing is that he knows that it will not be easy for Ding Yanyuhang to find a house here, especially when he first came.

When Jeremy Lin slept on the couch of Parsons and Fields, it was not only a meme, but also a status quo for the NBA's low-level players.

There are so many people in the U.S. who can play.

"Then you're welcome."

Ding Yanyuhang was no longer polite.

One of the things that makes him better than other NBA players in the U.S. is that he has accumulated a lot of money in the CBA before, so he is relatively financially well-off.

So he didn't have to borrow a sofa from Tang Tian to sleep like Jeremy Lin did at the beginning.

"That's right!"

Tang Tian smiled and patted Ding Yanyuhang on the shoulder.

Ding Yanyuhang lives with him, and when he plays, he can go to the stadium together, and having multiple companions is actually more fun.

The Pelicans finalized a two-way contract, but they still have one last spot.

There are several options for this spot.

can be kept to see the performance of Caruso and Ding Yanyuhang, and if they play well, they can be regularized in their contracts;

You can also sign a few non-guaranteed contracts and let them play preseason games to see if there will be any unexpected gains;

Of course, it is also possible to start the new season with a 14-man squad without signing anyone, so as to maintain the flexibility of the squad.

After all, there is a trading deadline and a buyout deadline behind it;

It was okay to choose any way, and Demps still found Tang Tian.

They first need to see if there are any other candidates on the free market that are worth signing.

In fact, at this point in time, it is less than a month before the start of the new season, and less than half a month before the start of the preseason.

Free agents, anyone with a little strength has been signed.

Even if there are many contracts that cannot be signed, they have already found a home overseas.

The rest are basically players that no one wants.

There are veterans who are old enough but unwilling to retire, there are players who can't reach the trust of the NBA, there are also many problem players, and there are injured players......

For various reasons, the new season is basically not related to the NBA.

However, after Demps gave the list to Tang Tian, Tang Tian flipped through it, but unexpectedly found a very familiar name.
