Tang Tian was also thoughtful at this time.

McGee's two blocks, as well as the awareness of the air cut, show that his ball quotient is not low.

But the mistake just now, as well as the practice of not collecting rebounds in time on the defensive end in front, are very incomprehensible.

McGee's extreme amateurism caused his teammates to lose trust in him, and he didn't get much of a chance to perform in the back.

In the end, the Pelicans defeated the Nuggets 112-89 at home and won a wave of two straight wins.

McGee played the final quarter, contributing 4 points, 4 rebounds and 3 blocks.

After the game, Tang Tian and Whiteside attended the team's press conference.

In addition to some general questions, it was natural for a reporter to mention McGee's performance.

"Javier's mistake was terrible, and if it happened in the rotation, it would have been a big morale hit."

Williams only smiled wryly at this question and did not give a positive answer.

In fact, he didn't know how to answer.

Tang Tian took the microphone at this time.

'He's got three really good blocks, and he's just coming in, so I'm sure he's going to get better and better.'

Tang Tian's answer was just right.

"Will McGee get a chance to play in the next games? We noticed that there were a lot of supportive fans in the stadium, holding signs like "my.boy" and so on. ”

The reporter's question drew a burst of laughter from other reporters.

Obviously, the word my.boy is enough to make people laugh.

'We'll rotate it depending on the game and the training of the players, so of course Javier has a chance to play again.

Williams's answer was rather polite.

"Don, what do you think of McGee's new teammate?"

The reporter asked Tang Tian again.

It was a big win, and there was no suspense, and there weren't many questions to ask after the game, and McGee was the center of attention.

Before Tang Tian could speak, several reporters in the audience couldn't hold back their laughter.

Obviously, the reporter in front of them said that my.boy had made their good mood unstoppable.

'He's a good player and a good guy.

As soon as Tang Tian spoke, there were already reporters below who couldn't help laughing, this is issuing a good person card, and generally this kind of words will probably have a twist.

"And personally, I don't like the word my.boy that I just mentioned, and I don't want fans to put up a sign like that in the stadium again."

However, Tang Tian did not do as they expected, but instead his tone became serious.

The reporters below stopped laughing, obviously they didn't expect Tang Tian to support McGee so strongly.

However, Tang Tian is now the king of New Orleans, and this is the home field again, and the following reporters are very interested in not asking any more questions related to McGee.

At the end of the press conference, Tang Tian and Whiteside walked in the direction of the locker room.

"Javier will be grateful to you."

Whiteside said to Tang Tian with a smile.

His smile is obviously different from the reporter's smile, and there is a taste of gratitude in this smile.

Tang Tian really has nothing to say to his teammates, as the boss of the team, he doesn't say anything about private guidance, and in front of the media, he only praises and maintains.

"Everybody loves something that makes people laugh, but no one wants to be that laughing stock."

Tang Tian replied calmly.

He also likes to watch the Big Five, and he laughs when he sees Curry's sliding dunk and Thompson's 360° turn dunk.

But it's not fair to keep targeting a person like that, and even let words like "my.boy" become a label for players.

Back in the locker room to take a shower, everyone else was gone.

Tang Tian was going to the hospital to see Jokic, and when he passed by the arena, he heard a voice inside.

I walked over and took a look, and found that it was McGee training inside.

He was covered in sweat, and it looked like he was practicing after the game.

Like Biyombo before him, there are few opportunities for role players to get to a new team, and Biyombo grabbed it before and squeezed out Evans.

Jokic was injured, and he got a chance to get into the rotation.

But McGee's debut was so average that he probably won't even get a second appearance.

But it seems that his mentality is not bad, and he trains hard if he doesn't play well.

This approach made Tang Tian very curious, the ball quotient and emotional intelligence are not bad, and he works hard, but there will always be some brainless problems on the field.

These things generally don't appear in a person.

The Pelicans' next game is against the Rockets, but it's just two days later.

Williams only scheduled his daily training session in the afternoon.

But on the evening of this day, O'Neill's new issue of the five embarrassments came out.

McGee's mistake last night made it to the top five without any suspense, and it was in first place.

Fans went viral on social media, with words like "my.boy is back" becoming the most liked comment.

McGee's help to the Big Five is obvious.

On match day, the team scheduled a morning training session as usual.

However, before training began, McGee looked in the locker room in a different mood than the previous days, and was visibly depressed.

Just like Tang Tian said, no one wants to be a laughing stock in the eyes of others, and neither does McGee.

Tang Tian saw his emotions and walked over and sat beside him.

McGee's previous approach to buying a hamburger gave Tang Tian a new understanding of him.

Although McGee's strength is not as good as that of Whiteside and Jokic, he is still willing to give some help to such people.

Just like he did at the press conference.

"Thank you for those words you said to me at the press conference."

McGee barely managed to squeeze out a smile and thanked Tang Tian.

Tang Tian smiled and waved his hand, indicating that he was not here to thank him.

"You don't have to worry about that, it's just a boring show, and you have to know that a lot of people have been on that, Stephen, Klay, James (Harden), so you don't really have to worry about that thing."

McGee nodded, he quickly understood and listened, his performance on the field really had nothing to do with his brain.

"What I should do more is to stay focused in the game and play well, which is the best response to the doubts and the key to getting your next contract."

Tang Tian continued.

The first words are enlightenment, and the latter one is advice.

At the end of the day, McGee has to play well enough if he really doesn't let the outside world question him, otherwise it's useless to say more.

McGee nodded, Tang Tian's words spoke to his heart.

The morning training was the same as usual, it was a non-confrontational training.

However, Biyombo was a bit unlucky, he accidentally poked his finger during shooting drill.

It's not a big problem, but he doesn't necessarily play in the evening.

After communicating with the coaching staff and the team doctor, it was decided to take a break from Biyombo for the sake of safety.

Jokic won't be able to play for a month or two, and if Biyombo gets a little more injured, the Pelicans' interior line will really be finished.
