The FOX Sports article has attracted a lot of people to follow suit.

However, Tang Tian's supporters felt that this was the same as before, it was all a pile of shit, black for the sake of black.

"Before Don went to the Rockets, no one ever thought that the team would be the championship team, it was Don who changed the team to have the Rockets' dynasty, and in the first year of the Cavaliers, Don led the team to play the championship so ignored?"

There is a lot of debate among fans and the media, but what will become of the Nets will only be known after Tang Tian officially starts coaching.

On December 24, the last day before Christmas, the Nets held a press conference to announce that Tang Tian was officially appointed as the team's head coach.

He was joined by the team's assistant coaches, Lawrence Frank and Roy Rodgers, who also served as assistant coaches in the NBA for many years.

The press conference was full of reporters, such a major event as Tang Tian's return, ESPN, TNT, FOX, New York Sports Times, etc., almost all the well-known sports media in the United States were present.

This battle is comparable to Michael Jordan's first comeback.

"Coach, what made you decide to return to coaching the team?" Journalists from ESPN were the first to be given the opportunity to ask questions.

'The main thing is the fans, I've watched a lot of games at the Barkley Centre and the attendance there is the worst of any team I've ever been to, it's not the fans, it's the team, it's us who let them down, I don't like that feeling, so it needs to change.' Tang Tian was blunt.

"Was it difficult to make this decision? We all know that you just became a father of two. ”

"Yes, it's not easy, family is more important to me than everything now, my children need my company, but we always have to face choices, make trade-offs, I just made my choice."

"It's like you picked the Nets." The reporter said with a smile.

"Yes, I chose the Nets, and now that the team needs me, I'm going to step up."

His words caused a flash of spotlight from the reporters below, and his serious expression at this moment would be a good news picture.

"We all know that the Nets are not in a good place right now, what are some of the changes the team will make? Tactical system? Cycle? Or is it a transaction? The reporter from TNT asked the second question.

'Yes, there's a lot to change now, we need to adjust our tactics, we need to rethink rotations, we need to be more competitive, we need to recreate the atmosphere, but a trade is not going to be an option for us right now, this team has talent, we just haven't played to their quality yet.

Jones on the side couldn't help but look sideways.

Tang Tian can always say some beautiful things, now that the team's record is sparse and the player's trade value is at the bottom, the transaction is definitely not appropriate at this time, and if he says so, it can stabilize the army's morale to a large extent.

"You mentioned adjusting tactics, what would that be a tactic?" The reporter asked.

"We'll see in the game." Tang Tian didn't say it directly, he sold it.

"At the beginning of the season, the goal of this team was to finish in the top four in the East, but now that the team is in 14th place in the East, will the team's goal change?" The third question was asked by a journalist from FOX Sports.

Tang Tian glanced at the reporter, and sure enough, FOX Sports was his sworn enemy.

"Of course it won't change, it's not even half of the season now, I believe in my coaching staff, I believe in my players, they will fight back."

"Good luck then." The reporter said with a smile, his smile clearly tinged with contempt.

Tang Tian didn't care about reporters in general, he preferred to speak with facts.

The press conference was a success, and the Nets' message was positive and positive, with most reporters believing that the team would bounce back after Christmas.

The press conference ended, followed by Christmas.

The Nets don't have a Christmas game, and most of the players are ready to go home for reunions.

However, at noon on Christmas Day, Tang Tian gathered the players to have lunch together, and all 15 members of the team, including the coaching staff, were invited, and the location was in his manor.

He invited some of New York's most well-known chefs to host a lavish luncheon.

Many of the players are flattered, and many of them have signed basic salary contracts, which is considered to be the lowest level of the mix, and it is rare to have such an opportunity.

"This is my Christmas present for everyone."

At the luncheon, Tang Tian gave a very special gift to the team members, a photo album.

The album contains some photos of him winning the championship in the past seven years, and he also signs his name at the front of each album.

Sending watches, suits, headphones and so on are outdated, and Tang Tian hopes to send something meaningful and motivate the team members.

Sure enough, the team members all seemed to be in love, looking at the photos inside, and the yearning and envy in their eyes couldn't be hidden.

Seven championships in seven years, how they wish they had been part of these teams.

Only Yi Jianlian, his eyes were full of nostalgia, he once followed Tang Tian to get the championship ring.

"Why are some of the back empty?" Jokic flipped the fastest, and he asked suspiciously.

"That's for you." Tang Tian replied.

The team members all stopped their movements one after another and looked at Tang Tian curiously.

"Don't look at me like that." Tang Tian looked at Jokic with a smile, "Don't you want to be a part of it?" ”

"Of course I do, it's just ......," Jokic said halfway through.

"Just don't have faith?" Tang Tian asked with a smile.

Jokic didn't speak, just nodded silently, he can't even get into the rotation now, and he still talks about championships.

"It's not surprising at all that when I was coaching the Rockets, they all thought the championship was far away from them at the beginning, but they all won it, you know why?" Tang Tian looked at Jokic, and everyone else was looking at Tang Tian.

"Why?"

"Because they didn't give up, believe in me and believe in themselves, step by step, from the regular season to the playoffs, to the finals, and when they really win the game, they are very excited, but they also feel that it is a matter of course." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Coach, I'm sure you can pull us up." Jokic was a little excited.

Not only him, but the other team members were also faintly excited.

Tang Tian's gift was a kind of intense in itself, and the experiences he said also inspired them.

At the previous press conference, TNT reporters asked him about the changes that the team needed, and he said a lot, including the need to change the atmosphere of the team, and it was not a matter of one sentence or a few words, but a process.

And to get there, the first thing he has to do is to rekindle the confidence of this losing team.

"I believe in you too." He looked around and said with a smile.
