Durant's departure caught everyone off guard, but his decision changed many people's perception of him.

After the exodus and defeat, perhaps the league's top three small forwards have also seen it.

In other words, instead of losing, it's better to choose a team that makes you happy.

After Durant left, the future that the Warriors couldn't solve was solved all at once.

They quickly extended Klay Thompson's five-year, $188 million contract.

Curry, Thompson, and Green still have a core lineup, and they are still very competitive in the West.

After that, the big fish in the free market also made their decisions one after another.

Leonard joins the Los Angeles Lakers on a four-year max contract.

After a reasonably enjoyable season in Toronto, Leonard was still obsessed with Los Angeles and finally chose to join the Lakers.

Cousins and the Lakers agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract, with a player option for the fourth year.

The Warriors don't have the salary space to re-sign Cousins, and Cousins' choice to join the Lakers and Leonard is also the best option for him.

Luckily, "Magic" Johnson resigned when he said he wouldn't get a superstar in two years, and now they've got two in a row in an offseason.

And after the big fish made decisions one after another, Owen finally made his decision after meeting with the teams.

He will sign a four-year contract with the Celtics, with a fourth year of the player option on a max contract.

Kemba Walker signed a four-year, $80 million contract with the 76ers.

Horford returned to the Hawks for 3 years and 80 million.

The Nets and Yi Jianlian reached a 2-year, 20 million contract extension.

……

The Nets basically maintained the core lineup, with only one Irving missing; The Warriors lost Durant, but the core of the 73-win past is almost still there; The Celtics added Irving's strength; The 76ers strengthened Walker's strength, and the Thunder welcomed back Durant's strength; The Lakers signed two superstars in a row to return to the championship ranks, and the Rockets maintained the roster.

The league has seven favourites at once, and there isn't much between them.

It is no exaggeration to say that no one can say that they will win the championship before the final start of the new season.

Tang Tian is no longer the head coach, but he is optimistic about the future of the Nets.

The current lineup, starting Mitchell, Butler, George, Yi Jianlian, Jokic, and Sexton, Murray, Porter, Anthony, Mitchell Robinson, still has an advantage in several championship teams.

And unlike when Irving and Butler's contracts expired at the same time, two years later, Yi Jian United expired at the same time, and the Nets had enough salary space to renew Mitchell's contract, and the future of the Nets is bright.

The season continues, but Tang Tian has already begun to enjoy his rich life.

The longer Tang Tang grows, the more beautiful he becomes, and Tang Hao is also getting bigger and bigger.

Tang Tian was also not stingy, and directly exchanged 2 honor points for a physical talent for his son.

My son loves basketball, so naturally he is fully supportive.

Completing the sweeping mission before got 5 honor points, counting the remaining 1 in the front, there are a total of 6, which is enough for him to train his son.

Tang Tian did not coach, but the summer of the league was not calm at all.

After suffering a gambling storm last year, Xiao Hua's credibility with fans and the board of directors plummeted.

In the face of huge pressure, Xiao Hua also announced that he would give up renewing his contract with the alliance, and the alliance was temporarily assumed by Vice President Tetum.

Tatum has been vice president of the league since the time of Stern, and he is still under Xiao Hua, he has some ability, but not enough to be the president, and everyone can see that this is a transition.

Time flies, a season has passed, and the Nets have won 62 games this season to rank second in the East, and have defeated the Celtics, 76ers and Thunder with three 4-3 scores, achieving three consecutive championships.

But the game was thrilling, and the Nets were lucky to win.

But it's such a process of ups and downs, but it has attracted the attention of fans again.

No one wants to watch a season without suspense, everyone wants the suspense to be bigger.

The NBA's attention is back, but Tytum's limited ability has also come to light.

In the face of the lack of toughness in the referees' union, it seems that it has no voice in the board of directors, and even the promotion of the event is lackluster.

The league is in dire need of a new president, and Xiao Hua wants to make a comeback, and while the league board is discussing the matter, Mavericks owner Cuban suddenly proposes a person.

Tang Tian.

Tang Tian has long been a sign of the league, and he is still young, and of course, the most important thing is that the quality he has shown in his coaching career is worthy of recognition.

If nothing else, take the renewal of Butler's contract as an example, which won him a lot of praise.

When this question was first raised, many people thought it was a joke, after all, Tang Tian held a team with a market value of more than $3 billion, why should he be a president with a salary of more than 100,000 yuan.

Because once he becomes president, the Nets in his hands will definitely be sold.

However, Xiao Hua's team is building momentum, and no one can beat him except Tang Tian.

After several meetings within the board, they proposed a plan to hand over the Nets to Take's wife, Wise, but Swift was not allowed to participate in any management of the team, which meant lying down and collecting money.

Tang Tian finally accepted the plan.

As soon as Tang Tian came out, all of Xiao Hua's momentum came to naught, and Tang Tian was unmatched by the popularity of the alliance.

And just after becoming president, Tang Tian also focused on the reform of the alliance.

Cancel the east and west, 1~16 teams enter the playoffs, and are divided into groups A and B, and then eliminated according to the playoff mechanism, and finally the group champions of groups A and B will play the finals.

Increase the salary of referees, and include referee reports in referee evaluation, and set up a strict reward and punishment mechanism to improve the ability and fairness of judgment.

Shorten the season, relax the penalty scale, encourage physical confrontation, and improve the spectacle of the game.

Continue to raise the Super Luxury Tax and balance the strength of each team.

……

After Tang Tian came to power, a series of measures shocked the league, but the fans were hooked.

Although there was some turmoil, the voice of the fans was fully listened to by the league, and this is a reform based on the principle of fan first.

After a few years of turmoil, the league has significantly improved its spectacle, and the Celtics, Rockets, and Nets have won the league.

This is the NBA that everyone is looking forward to.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it has come to 2033, the 13th year of Tang Tian as the president of the alliance.

In the past 13 years, the NBA has achieved unprecedented development, not only in China, but also around the world.

It was also in this year that 18-year-old Tang Hao participated in the league draft.

With his physical gifts, soft shooting touch, and superb basketball IQ, he was hailed as a combination of Durant and Kobe Bryant before entering the draft, with Michael Jordan's name written on the template column.

In the end, he was successfully elected as the No. 1 pick in the draft year and was successfully picked by the Nets.

The Nets are the belly of the league at this time, and only Porter and Butler Sr. are left in the core of the past, and the addition of Tang Hao is their hope for revival.

It was also at the draft meeting that a reporter interviewed Tang Tian, president of the league.

"Tang Hao was drafted by the Nets, will you come back?"

"yes, I'm thinking about it."

To the excitement of the fans, Tang Tian gave an affirmative answer.

Just a month later, Tang Tiangong stepped down as president of the league and became the head coach of the Nets at the age of 59.

Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers.

The Alliance has ushered in an unprecedented era.
