Nash returned to New Orleans with Donald, and he and the Pelicans quickly signed a three-year contract.

The position he got was the same as Tang Tian said before, a player development consultant, and his main job was to be responsible for the player's shooting training.

However, the news of this signing did not attract much attention.

Because at the same time, the Warriors announced the firing of the team's head coach Mark Jackson and hired the former TNT commentator Steve Kerr as the team's new head coach.

It is reported that the two parties reached a five-year contract of 25 million.

Kerr has never been the head coach of the team before, and the annual salary of 5 million is already very high among head coaches.

You must know that Popovich, who holds the highest salary in the league, has an annual salary of only 10 million, and Mavericks head coach Carlisle's salary is only 7 million.

The news sparked a wave of heated discussions among fans, and it was the polarizing kind.

"Mark has built a defensive system for the Warriors and helped the Warriors reach the playoffs in a row, and the decision of the Warriors management is cold-blooded!"

"That's the capitalists, there are many reasons why the Warriors lost the playoffs last year, but it's always the head coach who is behind the blame!"

"And the Warriors management is stupid to give Kerr a rookie coach an annual salary of 5 million and a 5-year contract, this is giving money!"

"The Warriors will regret their decision, and maybe in two years we'll see that messy team again!"

……

"I think the Warriors management couldn't have made the most of this decision, I've had enough of the Warriors' constipated offense!"

"Look at the Warriors' games this past season, they really need a change of coach!"

"Their defensive system is already in place, Mark Jackson has done his part, and now someone needs to unleash their firepower on the offensive end!"

"Steve Kerr is one of the most intelligent people in the game, he hasn't coached before, but I'm sure he's going to surprise us!"

……

Tang Tian was not too surprised by this news.

For him, Kerr's arrival marks the official formation of the Warriors, and the Pelicans are looking to list them as their main competitors.

But in fact, he didn't pay too much attention to this area, because after Nash became the owner, he brought a completely different shooting training method to the Pelicans.

In the past, the Pelicans' shooting training was mostly based on fixed-point shooting, but what Nash asked for was more catch-and-shoot on the run.

The reason is very simple, the small-ball era has brought not only a change in the speed of offensive and defensive conversion, but also half-court defense, assistance defense and supplementary defense will be faster and faster.

Therefore, compared to the previous games, there will be fewer and fewer opportunities for fixed-point shots on the field.

Conversely, catch-and-shoot on the move increases a lot.

Nash is a superstar of the last century, but his understanding of basketball is not old at all, and it can even be said that it is ahead of its time.

In addition to this general direction, he also added a lot of shooting training to the Pelicans players that they didn't have before.

For example, one-knee shooting.

As the name suggests, it is to stand on one knee and use one foot to complete the shot.

It's an abnormal way to shoot and shouldn't be on the NBA stage, but Nash values it.

In his theory, this way of shooting is conducive to increasing the player's shooting proficiency and physical balance when shooting.

In other words, such shooting drills are very helpful for drift shots and backward shots.

Tang Tian was a little excited when he heard this, because he was now practicing backward shooting!

This wave went to Toronto to invite Nash, no loss!

The addition of Nash has fueled the Pelicans' enthusiasm for training, and they are very interested in this new way of training.

Nash also had a smile on his face all the time.

The Pelicans reached the Western Conference semifinals last season and have a lot of potential, and the positive training attitude in front of them is really enjoyable.

He felt that Tang Tian told him that he would win the championship in the next two or three years, and it was really not just to lobby him.

The Pelicans really have that potential.

Shortly after Nash arrived at the training camp, Fagan sent Tang Tian good news.

The new contract he negotiated with BMW has been completed, and the price now negotiated is 3 years and 30 million US dollars, just waiting for Tang Tian to nod.

Tang Tian agreed.

The endorsement fee of 10 million a year is already quite a high figure in car endorsements.

After Tang Tian agreed, BMW officials quickly put Tang Tian's image on the homepage, and changed from a spokesperson in China to a global spokesperson.

After seeing the full amount of gold and silver that Nike has earned, BMW looks like it can't wait.

Two days after signing the endorsement, Tang Tian received the endorsement fee for the first year of BMW's new contract, which was almost $6 million after tax deduction.

In this way, his krypton gold is worth more than 12 million US dollars!

At this time, he can have a choice, whether to continue to save krypton gold and save enough 50 million to exchange for Kobe Bryant's back, or to exchange for a purple skill in advance.

After thinking about it, he chose the latter.

Nike's trip to China gave him enough confidence, and he was very confident in the dividends of his sneakers.

And when the time comes, not only the dividends, but also the endorsement fee of Coca-Cola in November and the endorsement fee of "Little Bee" shower gel in February will be received one after another.

In addition, after returning from the China trip, several domestic companies are negotiating contracts with Fagan, and he now has a lot of sources of income.

So his kryptonite value is less tense than before, and more importantly, the season is about to start, and he needs to improve his strength before then.

In his current offensive three-board axe, his shooting is a purple skill, but the breakthrough is still only blue, which definitely needs to be upgraded.

In basketball, being able to break through others greatly increases the personal offensive threat, which can mean a lot.

This is the same as the purpose of exchanging Kobe Bryant's lean.

Tang Tian pulled out the system interface, and then put his eyes on the column of Divine Turtle Bombing (Westbrook).

Turtle Bombardment (Westbrook): Increases breakout start speed and finishing stability by 20%, increases aerial duels and dunks by 5, and must be exchanged for a dynamite pack (Margety) in advance.

This is the only breakthrough skill among the purple skills.

The Dynamite Pack (Margety) has been redeemed before, so the value of this skill is 10 million Krypton.

And there is also stability in increasing the breakthrough speed, including adding confrontation and dunking, which is a good supplement for the current Tang Tian.

After he thought about it, he directly chose to exchange.

After redeeming, a lot of his stats panel changed.

The speed and agility have increased to 75, the sprint speed in the secondary page has reached 80, the confrontation dunk and sprint dunk have also exceeded 70, and the attributes such as confrontation shooting have also increased by 1~2 points.

The improvement brought by this skill is the same as that of Maddie Dry Pulling before, which is all-encompassing.
