Chapter 159: Tang Tian and Kobe Bryant (II) (5/5!) )
Tang Tian stood outside the venue.
"That's the end of the team's playoff journey this year, Kobe, is there anything you want to say?"
The press conference fell silent, and Kobe Bryant was silent for a long time.
"I wouldn't say I'm sorry or anything, but I could have done better." Kobe Bryant stopped talking.
"Kobe Bryant has done everything he did, he's been injured since Game 4, and the team doctor wouldn't have let him play this game." Phil Jackson stood up for his disciple at this time.
There was a commotion among the reporters below.
Although he vaguely guessed that Kobe Bryant might have an injury, the injury was so serious that the team doctor didn't recommend him to play, but he also set a new playoff high, which is indeed the best he has done as Jackson said.
"Kobe, what's next?" After discussing for a while, the reporter then asked.
"I just want to go to the gym now, I just want to make myself stronger."
Bryant's answer once again caused a commotion among the reporters below.
Tang Tian also felt a lot of emotion when he heard this.
Kobe Bryant is talented, but what really makes him successful is his hard work, and the four o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles is the truest portrayal.
The press conference continued, and the whole press conference seemed dull because of the loss.
After the press conference, reporters and others left the venue one after another, and even Phil Jackson went back to the locker room early.
Tang Tian was also about to leave at this time, just when he ran into Kobe Bryant coming out of the front door.
"Coach?" Seeing Tang Tian, Kobe Bryant was a little surprised.
Tang Tian didn't expect to collide with Kobe, but if he did, he smiled and said, "You have done your best." ”
Kobe Bryant was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Thank you, but I won't lose again next year." ”
Tang Tian was also stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Good luck." ”
This is probably Kobe's character.
Back in the locker room, the Rockets players were playing crazy inside, screaming in the shower, and they didn't know what they thought they were doing.
Tang Tian saw the veteran Mutombo and Billups chatting about something, and then walked in.
"What are you talking about?"
"Coach?" Uncle Mu saw Tang Tian coming in and stood up.
Tang Tian motioned for him to sit down.
"Deacon Bay is asking me something about the Celtics." Billups explained.
Tang Tian nodded, said you continue, then looked at the yelling players in the shower, and shook his head and walked out of the locker room with a smile.
A veteran of a team is the soul of a team, and every team that has won the championship in history has a veteran press.
Mutombo and Billups started talking about playing Celtic right after the end, and this team is different from last year, and it really has the temperament of a champion.
Out of the locker room, Tang Tian called Swift.
This guy doesn't know if he's gone.
"I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the Toyota Center!" Swift was very happy to receive Tang Tian's call.
Tang Tian hung up the phone, told Xibodu for a while, and then ran towards the door.
He searched for a while before he saw Swift in the corner, wrapped tightly in a scarf and hood.
"You're not afraid of suffocating yourself." Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
"I'm afraid of being recognized." Swift secretly pulled out a little scarf and said with a smile.
Tang Tian was stunned for a moment when he saw this smile, and then suddenly felt a little guilty.
Because he is the head coach, he has to attend a press conference after the game and a series of other things, Swift must have waited a lot of time here.
"Let's go, let's go for supper." Tang Tian continued.
"Really? Didn't you say I had to stay in shape and not be able to eat? Swift said, wrapped in a scarf.
"It's okay to eat, just celebrate for me." Tang Tian said and walked out.
"Yay! I knew you were the best! Swift said as he stepped up and took Tang Tian's arm and walked out.
The two of them hadn't seen each other for a while, and they walked forward and talked a lot.
"By the way, I'm going to have a birthday yacht party next week, do you have time?" Swift had already taken off his scarf at this time and looked at Tang Tian with anticipation.
Next week, according to the schedule, the Celtics are almost finished, and he will also have to prepare for the national team recently.
"Don't have time?" Swift seemed to have expected this result, and his eyes were lost.
"Yes." Tang Tian said with a smile.
"Really? That's great. At this time, Swift jumped directly on Tang Tian excitedly and kissed him fiercely on the face.
It's also thanks to Tang Tian's preparation, otherwise the two of them would have to have intimate contact with the ground this time.
"Alright, let's eat." Tang Tian put Swift down and patted the latter's head helplessly.
The Swift in the memory of his previous life was the one who fell in love and sang a song, how is this completely different now.
Could it be that his presence changed all that? Or is he so handsome that Swift doesn't even look down on special people?
Well, it's probably the latter.
If he wants to say that he is willing, Tang Tian is still willing to stay with Swift more, after all, it means that the two of them can reach a unity in terms of eating.
There are a lot of Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles, and you can eat a lot of delicious food at any one.
Swift had a big appetite, and watching Swift eat finger sucking shrimp with licking fingers, Tang Tian shook his head helplessly.
It seems that being a singer or something, it's not so easy.
After eating, he sent Swift back to the hotel, and Tang Tian then went back to the hotel to watch the video.
Although the game between the Celtics and the Pistons will take about a week at the earliest, compared to last year's Cavaliers, this year's opponent Celtics is obviously not at the same level.
If I played a sauna last year, this year I will have to walk in the crater.
Although the playoffs have struggled all the way, when it comes to the finals, those three old guys will definitely show their housekeeping skills.
The Rockets' bench has some advantages, but the advantage over the Lakers is obviously much smaller.
Watching the video until the early hours of the morning, Tang Tian fell asleep unconsciously.
The next day, Tang Tian led the team back to Houston.
When they got off the plane, quite a few fans came to the airport to greet them.
After reaching the Finals for two years in a row, the Rockets are getting closer and closer to the footsteps of the dynasty team.
And unlike the Rockets team that won two consecutive championships, the three cores of this team are still very young.
Reaching the finals again, Tang Tian used his actions to tell the team about this year's difficulties, and organized the team members to train on the day he returned to the Toyota Center.
The Rockets are actively preparing for the game, while the Celtics are already playing white-hot.
The Pistons lost Billups, and the main control became rookie Sessions, and it stands to reason that the strength has declined, but unlike Tang Tian's previous life, the Pistons performed quite well, and they are even leading 2-1 now.
And to everyone's surprise, the person who made this change turned out to be the addition of the original deal, the "street ball king" Alstom.
