The hurricane left New Orleans after sweeping through for five days.

Because Tang Tian's wealthy area is located upstream, the loss is not large, but the downstream has suffered heavy losses.

More than half of the Port of New Orleans was destroyed, more than 100,000 people were displaced, and 50 people died in the hurricane.

Experiencing such a catastrophe after a decade of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 is truly cruel to New Orleans, even though the devastation caused by Hurricane Katrina has not yet fully subsided.

Many of the people who still live here have doubts about whether they want to stay or not.

At this time, Tang Tian released the news on his personal Twitter for the first time.

He will establish the Tang Tian and Olson Global Foundation and invest $10 million as the foundation's start-up capital.

The foundation's first tranche of funding will be used to rebuild New Orleans.

After Tang Tian's tweet was released, many NBA stars immediately stood up in solidarity.

Kobe Bryant replied on Twitter as soon as possible that he would invest 1 million for the foundation.

James, Harden, Wade, Duncan and other stars have all forwarded and expressed their willingness to donate.

In the face of disaster, grievances and grievances become worthless.

On the Hollywood side, the first person to come forward was Emma Watson.

When Tang Tian tweeted, Watson called to ask about his condition, and donated $500,000 to the foundation as soon as possible.

followed by Scott and Yates, who donated money and forwarded it, and also called on Hollywood movie stars to participate.

And after that, wealthy people in New Orleans and surrounding cities also donated.

Even in China, there are many fans who support, and Lin Huanyu personally donated 10 million, living up to the name of the super rich second generation.

Tang Tian also asked Carl to put the money raised by the foundation into use as soon as possible, and to be open and transparent.

This has given New Orleans a boost of confidence.

Soon, New Orleans Mayor Jeff Hunt also invited Tang Tian to the front line of disaster relief.

Tang Tian's appearance made the victims cheer.

He had built a huge popularity in New Orleans in the past two years, and now he has become a source of confidence for these victims.

"The spiritual pillar of New Orleans."

"He's not just a basketball star, he's a hero in New Orleans."

"What a Chinese means to a city, from Chinatown to the foundation, he is a symbol of New Orleans."

……

The media also hyped Tang Tian.

It's just that after that kind of disaster, this kind of propaganda has played a very positive role.

It is no exaggeration to say that he strengthened the confidence of many people to continue living in New Orleans.

Reconstruction after the disaster will be a long process, and Tang Tian asked Carl to devote himself to the Foundation's movement.

And he and his brothers continued to train.

This disaster made Tang Tian more and more thoughtful about the new season.

In the process of rebuilding after the disaster, if the city can bring its first NBA championship, it will be an unprecedented inspiration for the city.

Just like the Saints won the championship in 2010, five years after Hurricane Katrina, it still gave New Orleans a great inspiration to rebuild after the disaster.

If you can win the championship in the first year after the disaster, it will make a difference.

On the first day of training, Butler worked exceptionally hard.

After the training was over, several other people went home with Tang Tian one after another, but Butler did not leave.

"I'm staying in the gym tonight."

This is what Butler and Don Tian said.

"I've lost a week of training and I have to hurry up and come back."

This week, of course, refers to this end of the hurricane period.

Butler felt that he had wasted a week of time, and he had to practice it back through extra practice!

Sure enough, this guy's attitude towards training is not comparable to ordinary people.

However, knowing Butler's character, Tang Tian was not too surprised.

The next day, Jokic slept in the gym with him.

Considering that he has a previous "criminal record", this also seems reasonable.

Butler, on the other hand, finally found someone to keep him company.

The post-disaster reconstruction of New Orleans is well underway, and their hard-working brothers' training camp is also sweating.

His parents returned to China soon after, and Tang Tian also devoted more time to training.

Fast forward to mid-September, and more than a month has passed, and the results of their training are remarkable.

McGee's defense is noticeably better than before, and Davis' low-post offense has become much more adept.

Tang Tian's three threats also adapted very well.

The Pelicans' roster changes in the summer were not much, but their overall strength steadily improved.

In mid-September, the Brothers Training Camp ended, and Walker and the others were ready to leave New Orleans.

"You've got to beat Clay."

After "fed up" with Thompson's summer of "showing off", Owen couldn't help but say to Tang Tian before parting.

"Don't worry, I'll meet you in the finals."

Thompson also continued his "show-off" and threw a look at Irving with a smile.

"No, I'm the one who made it to the finals this year."

Butler followed.

Walker shook his head with a wry smile on the side, this group of guys, this year, one by one, is grabbing the championship.

But smiling and smiling, he was a little sad.

He seemed to be the only one left behind.

Tang Tian went over and patted him on the shoulder.

"You need to beat Carey."

When Walker heard Tang Tian's words, he nodded firmly.

Everyone else is in the west, only him and Owen are in the east.

He and Tang Tian defeated Duke at Kangda together, and he will also defeat the Cavaliers this year.

Nothing is impossible unless you dare not think about it.

The new season is also a championship battle between the five brothers.

The hard work brokes training camp ended, and so did the Pelicans' training camp.

Tang Tianxuan ended the training camp at this point in time, also to prevent him and Davis from interrupting their training.

On the first day of training camp, all the rest of the team arrived, except for new signings Bojan and Joe Harris, who had not yet arrived.

Losing to the Warriors last season was more than losing to the Grizzlies before, and their desire to beat the Warriors and win a championship this season has never been greater.

Stevens won't be there for two days, and they'll be trained by the assistant coach on those days.

However, to the surprise of most of the players, their assistant coach turned out to be Monty Williams!

After Williams was fired by the Pelicans, like Mark Jackson at the beginning, he was not favored by other teams because of his lack of tactical level.

Mark Jackson can still return to his TNT to continue as a commentator, and Williams is equivalent to directly losing his job.

At this time, it was his choice to become an assistant coach of a team.

It was at this time that after Demps and Stevens communicated, the two went to Williams together.

After some exchanges, Demps offered him a generous four-year, $5 million assistant coaching contract, and Williams agreed to return to the Pelicans as the first assistant coach.

"Look at what? Hurry up and train, don't you want revenge, don't you want to win the championship? ”

Williams looked at the surprised expressions of the players and shouted directly.

Going from head coach to first assistant coach and back to the original team is something that many people can't accept.

But Williams accepted, and could see that he had a good idea.

It's all as a teaching assistant, so it's better to stay in a familiar place, and the salary is not low.

Besides, he was also unwilling to lose last season.
