Chapter 421: NBA Shutdown (4/4!) )

The 2011 draft came to an end, and the Cavaliers had a lot to gain.

It seems that they are three rookies with different levels, but Tang Tian knows that the words of these three people may be the most harvested year for the Cavaliers in the past three years.

Now it's just a matter of waiting for the new season to kick off.

Time flies, and it's July 1st.

According to the rhythm of previous years, the door to the free agent market is open at this time, and the management of each team should have been active at the first time and start negotiating with their favorite free agents.

But this year is completely different.

After midnight on July 1, when the old collective bargaining agreement expired and the new collective bargaining agreement was delayed, the league's president, Stern, announced that the alliance had officially entered a shutdown time.

During the shutdown, NBA players will not receive their salaries, and NBA teams will not be able to negotiate with players, sign and trade players.

At the same time, players are not allowed to use the team's training facilities for any reason, the team cannot hold any summer training camps, exhibitions, team meetings and coach meetings, and even the NBA team website can no longer use the player's image and cannot use the player as a representative of publicity.

And along with all of this was the cancellation of the NBA Summer League.

This is a huge blow to both labor and management.

Even for a player like Thomas, a very important platform for presentation is lost.

After the lockout was announced, most of the players were relatively calm, and the offseason was meant to be used to relax.

As for the players who can't play summer league, they can only hold on first.

The most affected are the management of each team, like the Cavaliers, Tang Tian and his team can't even contact the team's players.

Because they are now the employers, the players were separated from them during the shutdown.

Tang Tian didn't know if this shutdown would last longer than he remembered in his previous life, but it was also a big vacation for him.

It's probably the longest vacation he's had since he crossed.

The contract with the Cavaliers is still there, and the company's development is also smooth, and everything is developing in an orderly manner.

It was at this time that he was finally able to relax and look at his newly purchased house.

Hathaway and Swift were fully engaged in the renovation of the house, and by this time it was already done.

On this day, at the request of the two women, he also returned the apartment that the team had rented for him, found a maid to pack his luggage, and asked the moving company to send it to the new house.

"We have a gift for you."

In the car, Hathaway said mysteriously.

After getting along for so long, it was Tang Tian who always gave them gifts, but they didn't expect that the two women would be together at this time and ready to give him gifts.

And it was mysterious, Tang Tian didn't say anything when he asked them.

The car drove to the top of the hill in the suburbs, and new security guards had been hired at the door, and they were greeted respectfully when they saw it.

Driving to the garage, Tang Tian also saw the gift they said.

The Maybach Landaulet, Mercedes-Benz's limited convertible, was a product from '07, when the first batch was only about 20 units, and now sells for around $1.4 million worldwide.

"It's cool to look at, but Taylor said you're usually low-key, so we ended up choosing this one." Hathaway said as she handed the car keys to Tang Tian.

The price is twice as high, but the price range for sports cars and convertibles is different.

In 2011, the Maybach would have been one of the most expensive cars in the world.

But it's true that as Hathaway said, this car is much more low-key than a sports car in addition to the logo and elongated body.

It was the interior that was luxurious, as the car was originally made and marketed to the European aristocracy.

It is said that when it first came out, the first one was bought by the Vatican Pope as a royal car.

"Thank you, my sweethearts." Tang Tian took Swift with his left hand and kissed him, and his right hand slid down from his slender waist, touched Hathaway's sexy buttocks, and then walked towards his new car.

Tang Tian has not pursued much in terms of personal since he crossed over, but men have a preference for cars.

Although he can fully afford such a car now, the things given by his wife will always be different.

"Let's go for a ride."

Turning on the car and waving to Hathaway and Swift, Tang Tian then started the car.

He didn't drive the car down the hill, in fact, just got up and drove down, how boring it must be.

He just went around his house twice.

The house covers an area of more than 10,000 square meters, and it takes a few minutes to drive around twice.

The benefit of a big house is here.

Another unique design of this Maybach is that the front and rear sunroofs are separated, and the rear can be opened directly.

Hathaway and Swift sat in the back seat, looking at the blue sky above their heads and the view of Cleveland outside the window.

Not to mention, just having a ride at home feels very good.

After stopping the car, Tang Tian then walked into the main building.

The living room is still decorated in the original style, but there are a lot of greenery around it.

"Meow!"

He went in perfectly, and the guy jumped out from behind the sofa with a "poof".

From a small apartment to a big house, this guy is the happiest.

Then I went into the sports area, because an open-air basketball court had been installed outside, and the place that was originally used for DIY was directly made into a recording studio, which was used for Swift to record songs.

Out of the main building, there is a gentle breeze and a few beach chairs are placed by the pool, on which you can lie directly in the sun.

They walked over and sat down, and Hathaway made a call to ask the maid to prepare some fresh fruit.

This feeling of relaxation and enjoyment is really pleasant.

The guy also ran out, it smelled here and there, not too clingy.

"Mr. Tang, these are the freshest fruits today."

Just as he was looking at Ying Short's suitability, Tang Tian heard a strange voice.

It's strange, not because of the sound, but because of the pronunciation, a bit of a knotted tongue.

Tang Tian turned around, and then saw a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old, who looked very cute like a porcelain doll, and was dressed very cleanly, looking at them with a slightly nervous look in her eyes at this time.

Judging by the appearance, this is clearly not an American, but more like the Middle East.

The appearance of a little Middle Eastern girl in his home is really a curious thing.

"Hadia, go down." Swift said with a smile at this time.

The little girl nodded, and ran back to the kitchen.

"Where did you find that?" Tang Tian turned his head to look at Swift.
