"You talk first, I'll go first." Yao Ming saw that the two teaching assistants had something to say, so he said hello and left first.

"I'm sorry I didn't say hello to you before making a decision." Tang Tian stretched out his hand and said apologetically.

"We've guessed it."

After hugging Tang Tian, Cole spoke.

Tang Tian smiled, as the team's first assistant coach and second assistant coach, he should indeed have felt it a long time ago.

"Tom, don't be so yourself, you see you really don't have much hair." Tang Tian said jokingly.

Thibodeau was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Steve, help Tom well, he definitely doesn't know much about attacking, but your combination will definitely be invincible, and I'm looking forward to playing you in the future." Tang Tian looked at Cole with a smile.

Cole smiled, but then shook his head.

"I'm ready to accept an offer from the Suns to be their general manager."

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, Cole's decision was also unexpected.

But he soon understood, and he left the Rockets to say that Kerr should not have been idle this offseason.

"Then we're going to be partners next season." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Thibodeau laughed along, and the three big men laughed along.

After everything was done, Tang Tian returned the rented apartment, packed his luggage, and then got on the plane to Cleveland.

Over there, Gilbert has asked the people below to rent him an entire apartment, which is part of the benefits of his new contract.

Cleveland is a standard small city, as the capital city, with an area of less than 4,000 square kilometers and a population of only 300,000, ranking only 45th in the United States, and Houston is completely incomparable.

This is also the reason why Gilbert, as a billionaire, attaches so much importance to James.

Because only James can bring him the most commercial benefits.

Planes whizzed down from the clouds, and the small city of Cleveland came into view.

The rows of buildings, the sparrows are small, but they are also full of organs, and the lake of Erie to the north also adds a beautiful color to the city.

The plane landed at Cleveland International Airport, and Tang Tian walked out of the cabin and felt a wave of hot and humid air in the air.

Cleveland is located in the middle of the United States, the climate is temperate continental humid, and the seasons are distinct.

Outside the exit, a large crowd of fans were already seen holding up signs welcoming him, and they cheered and waved to him when they came out.

Looking at the number of people, there are one or two hundred, and most of the airport entrances are blocked.

It seems that the city is small, but the fans here are very welcoming.

That's a good start.

He smiled and greeted the fans, signed autographs, and took photos.

The fans here are also very patient, and their faces are more and more excited, and it can be seen that they are quite excited about Tang Tian's final choice to join them.

When he and these fans were done, a few Cavaliers staff members appeared behind.

"Hello Coach, I'm Dante, and I'm in charge of your pick-up and drop-off mission today." A young man who looked about the same age as Tang Tian, with a dirty braid, greeted Tang Tian with a smile.

Tang Tian shook hands with him, and then got into the car that came to pick him up.

The car went out of the airport and onto the road.

To say that small cities also have the advantages of small cities, is that there will be a lot less cars on the road, and after getting on the elevated road, there are far fewer traffic jams than in Houston.

Tang Tian sat in the car, chatting with Dante while looking out the window, and for a long time, he was going to live in this city.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a large billboard erected outside the viaduct, on which it turned out to be himself.

This......

Welcome, Tang Tian!

Next to the billboard, there is also a large advertising slogan.

"Look there, it's a billboard that was made yesterday." At this moment, Dante also turned his head and stretched out his finger.

I rushed to make it yesterday, and this is really efficient.

"Mayor Frank heard that you decided to join the Knights, and he had people make it overnight, there are ten such billboards, in the ten most conspicuous places in the city, as long as you are a Cleveland now, you should know you." Dante continued.

"Yes, Coach, welcome to Cleveland." The staff member who drove the car echoed with a smile.

Ten pieces......

Tang Tian was a little flattered.

And the mayor came forward, and it seems that the Cavaliers have a high status in Cleveland.

The car kept moving forward, and Tang Tian also saw several billboards one after another, and they were indeed in a very conspicuous position.

After detouring from the city, he was taken to his lodgings.

A standard two-and-a-half-story bungalow, quite large, with a swimming pool in the backyard, and of course, the most important thing is that it is only ten minutes' drive from the stadium.

Gilbert really put his mind to it.

The luggage also happened to be transported from the airport, the staff put everything away according to his requirements, and he had a new home in Cleveland in an instant.

"Coach, you take a rest here first, and then I'll take you out to dinner in the evening, if you have anything, feel free to contact me." After Dante had everything done, he spoke before leaving.

"Go ahead." Tang Tian said with a smile.

He was in a good mood, and compared to being in the Rockets, the Cavaliers gave him a feeling of being very important as soon as he came.

It seems that he was not wrong in his original choice.

After eating, he went back to his lodgings and looked at the team list for a while, and Gilbert came to visit.

This time he was alone.

"Don, the previous management staff and coaching staff have all left the team, so tomorrow, only you and Dante will go to New York."

Tang Tian thought he was coming to visit, but he didn't expect to bring him bad news by the way.

This is Commander Lights.

"Rest assured, Dante is from the team's operations department and he has no problem communicating with the general managers of other teams."

"That'll do." Tang Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if he was asked to call the draft team of other teams on the first day, it would really not be very comfortable.

Because there were only two days left before the start of the draft, Tang Tian's coaching staff and manager staff had not yet had time to be formed, and after two days of adaptation, he and Dante got on the plane to New York together.

The draft was still held at Madison Square Garden, where Tang Tian met many of this year's hot rookies.

Blake Griffin, Hashim Thabit, Tyrek Evans...... James Harden and Stephen Curry, who have skyrocketed in the overall picks recently.

When I walked from the passage on the second floor to the draft cabin, I happened to meet the draft team of the Rockets.

Morey doesn't look in a good mood, and previous rumors that Artest and the Rockets have a disagreement over a contract extension don't seem to be groundless.
