The summer league is over, and the ordinary event, because of Tang Tian and the Rockets, has become a little unlucky.

Although the American media still took a cold approach to Tang Tian, the domestic media and fans were extremely excited.

Since Yao Ming joined the Rockets in 02, the Rockets have deservedly become the home team of Chinese fans.

It is precisely because of this that the role players of the Rockets, Uncle Huo, the "Street Ball King" Alston, Uncle Mu, and Lucas III ...... Not only are they all familiar, but they are also all the objects of heated discussion among fans.

The head coach of the Rockets is naturally the focus of discussion.

From Tom Norwich at the beginning to Van Gundy today, and now head coach Van Gundy, he is the focus of attention.

The defensive system is mature, but it only knows how to defend and can't attack, and there will always be only 8 people in rotation, which are the slots of fans.

Now that Tang Tian has shown the potential of a top coach, and he is still Chinese, how can they not look forward to and be excited.

It is foreseeable that the fan storm set off by the Rockets in China in the new season will definitely be beyond imagination.

The fans were looking forward to it, but Tang Tian turned around and threw himself into the preparation for the new season.

The end of the summer league also means the dissolution of the Rockets, and the next priority is to stay and stay the players.

Needless to say, Millsap signed him to a 1+1 standard second-round pick contract (410,000 full guarantee in the first year and 690,000 in the second year, but with a team option).

Novak was offered the same contract, not that he and Millsap are about the same level, but it's the biggest contract the team can offer.

This is the Rockets' own rookie, and the signing is a no-brainer.

However, the other three outstanding liberos are in a different situation.

Barria was undrafted, he averaged 9.6 points and 3.6 assists per game in the summer league, played a good tandem role, and under Tang Tian's struggle, the Rockets finally offered him a 1+1+1, three-year salary non-guaranteed contract with an annual team option.

As an undrafted pick, Barria eventually accepted the contract.

Hayes, a sophomore who spent most of last season in the Development League, also played for the Rockets, averaging 2.6 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in Summer League before the two sides negotiated a one-year, $660,000 guaranteed contract.

Bynum, who is also a sophomore, is averaging 12 points and two assists per game, and the Rockets have offered him a three-year, non-guaranteed contract similar to Barria's, but he has opted to pursue his career in overseas leagues.

As a result, four of the five players Tang Tian used in the summer league were successfully signed and entered the Rockets' preseason roster.

He also made good on his promise to those players.

After the successful signing, these people called Tang Tian as soon as possible to express their gratitude.

There is no doubt that they are the first batch of "descendant troops" harvested by Tang Tian in the NBA.

Summer League is over, and with the preseason not kicking off until at least October, the Rockets' coaching staff can finally have some time to relax.

However, Tang Tian was not idle, and in the first year after the crossing, there was always a lot of time to be busy.

When he helped Maddie heal his back injury, Maddie gave him 100,000 yuan, plus his salary as an assistant coach, and he now has about 200,000 US dollars in liquidity.

It's not a lot of money, but it's not too little.

Although I don't know everything about the past, if I want to make a fortune in 06, stock trading is obviously the best choice.

Before the Great Depression in '08, it was profitable to buy stocks and buy any stocks.

Of course, as a traverser, Tang Tian actually wanted to buy stocks, so he naturally wanted to buy the best.

He set his sights on the domestic stock market, China Shipbuilding, Zijin Mining...... These stocks, which shocked the whole country and increased more than 100 times, are the best investment objects.

He invested most of his money in it, and although it was not enough to reach the shareholder level, he had hundreds of thousands of shares, at least.

After finishing the investment, Tang Tian left to return to China.

On the one hand, I want to go back to China to see some things in my memory, and on the other hand, I naturally want to see Yao Ming.

Yao Ming is one of the busiest players in the summer as a Chinese player compared to other international players, and even though he suffered a serious left ankle injury just last season, he still has to play many games for his country.

Yao Ming only played in the NBA for 8 years as the champion show, and in addition to the reason for Van Gundy's weight gain, the continuous and uninterrupted games, from the NBA to the national team, are also one of the important reasons.

Tang Tian, as one of the countless Rocket fans in his previous life, obviously didn't want such a thing to happen again after crossing over.

A week after returning to China, Tang Tian finally met Yao Ming at his home in Shanghai.

It's exactly the same as the face on the field in 06 in my memory, and the only difference is probably that I haven't exercised for a long time after the injury, and I already feel a little bit like Yao Riyue.

Yao was obviously surprised and excited, he knew about the Rockets' change of the first assistant coach, but he didn't expect the first assistant church to come all the way back to China to find him.

Because everyone is Chinese, it is very convenient to communicate.

After a few words of greeting and taking Yao Ming's parents away, Tang Tian then chatted with Yao Ming about the Rockets next season and his ankle injury.

"Millsap and you are a very good match, even though it looks like he may need some time to grow." Tang Tian's first thing to say was naturally good news, you must know that the players that Yao Ming has partnered with in the past four years can really only be described in three words, weak.

"Well, I've seen some of his summer league highlights, and it's a good fit, and you've got a really good set for finding someone." Yao Ming gave Tang Tian a thumbs up.

Tang Tian smiled, and after putting away his smile, he hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Da Yao, it's okay to call it like that, right?" I'm younger than you anyway. ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Yao Ming hurriedly waved his hand, Tang Tian was able to become an NBA assistant coach at such a young age, his ability was there, and his achievements would never be low in the future, and he was a little flattered to put his posture so low at this time.

"I know you value the national team and respect the discipline of the national team, but for the sake of your career, I would advise you not to play so many national team games." Tang Tian opened his mouth to speak, and after finishing speaking, he looked straight at Yao Ming.

To be honest, he is also a little uncertain in his heart, you must know that Yao Ming has participated in so many national team competitions, many of which are because he wants to participate in his heart.
