In the January game, the Cavaliers were completely different from the past two months, and directly played health basketball.

The veterans of the team took turns to rest, and even if they did, they only played for about 15 minutes.

The Cavaliers have basically become a world of young players.

Although there are ups and downs in their records, I can feel that with the increase in playing time, their self-confidence has improved quickly and their performance has become more and more consistent.

By January and a half, the Cavaliers were 5-3 in eight games, but the young players were playing better than the other.

Anderson's score rose to 10.6 from 6.8 previously.

Green has also averaged double-digit points in these eight games, averaging 10.1 points per game, and his performance is even better than at the beginning of the season.

Of course, the most amazing thing is still Matthews, who looks like a defensive version of Mo Williams next to James, averaging 17.2 points and 4.3 rebounds per game so far, because Griffin is out for the season, and he is directly competing with Terrick Evans and Stephen Curry for the best rookie.

While the Cavaliers are steadily advancing, the Kings and Clippers are getting worse and worse, and their first-round pick value is rising.

The Cavaliers really managed to win the championship while taking the high draft pick.

On this day, the team's daily training, Tang Tian did not go to the stadium as usual, but after explaining to Casey and Cassel, he flew to Washington in a suit.

The Rockets were the defending champions last year, and as is customary, they go to the White House to meet the president.

It would have been a natural thing, but there was a problem that their head coach Tang Tian left last season.

Theoretically, Tang Tian could choose to go or not to go.

But the president of the people's Republic of China, Oboma spoke, and the second leg that was promised last year has not been compared, and if it is not against the rules, you must go.

Not to mention that Obama also asked his assistant to send him a separate invitation letter.

It's a bit out of place if you don't go again.

Meeting with the Rockets players in Washington, the Rockets' coaching staff and players were very enthusiastic.

After all, there was a conflict at the beginning, and it was also between him and Morey, and these players and coaches he led respected him very much.

"Coach, the air in Cleveland is fresh, but the nightlife must be deserted, do you want me to take you to a nightclub in Washington at night?" Dragic spoke.

His words immediately drew a burst of laughter from the team members in the car.

The bus headed for the White House amid laughter.

I got off the bus at the White House, because Obama was still attending a press conference, and the staff took them directly to the garden for a walk.

Tang Tian saw that Yao Ming was a little tired, so he went up to chat with him, and the two of them unconsciously walked to a place where there were fewer people.

"What, looking at how tired you look, are you preparing for pregnancy recently, and you're about to be hollowed out by your wife?" Tang Tian said with a smile, he is no longer the head coach of the Rockets, but he can talk about anything.

Yao Ming was stunned for a moment, and then laughed into a big "embarrassment" emoji.

"Da Yao, I know Tom is a bit conservative in employing people, I think you should actually take the initiative and raise the issue of playing time with him, you are heavy here, if you are too tired, it is easy to get injured again." Joking, Tang Tian continued.

Although Thibodeau used to be his assistant coach and the relationship between the two was good, he is no longer on the Rockets, and this kind of thing can only be mentioned by Yao Ming himself.

Yao Ming nodded, looking at Tang Tian's gaze a little strange.

Most of his current achievements are given by Tang Tian, and only Tang Tian is the best to use him.

The two of them talked about something else.

At the end of the conversation, Yao Ming suddenly looked at Tang Tian and said, "Coach, I have an ......option to jump out in advance next year."

"Don!"

Just then, someone called out to them from behind them, and it turned out to be Cole.

"It's over on the president's side." Cole smiled and beckoned to them.

Cole's sudden appearance also made their chat have to end early.

Yao Ming walked to the front, and Cole also pulled Tang Tian to chat.

"Don, I know you're short of big men who can carry on the inside right now, how about I trade Robin Lopez for your Channing Frye?"

"Don't think about it."

"I'll add a second round."

"You add a first-round, I'll think about it."

"You're robbing?"

"Aren't you too?"

……

Both of them are now general managers, and when they meet, they always can't get away from this topic.

As they spoke, they had reached the east room, where they saw Obama again.

Compared to when we met last year, Oboma looks much older, and even has some gray hair in his hair.

The job of being president is really not that easy to do.

After greeting Thibodeau and the other team members, Obama looked at Tang Tian at this time.

"Don, don't forget our second round later."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Of course, Tang Tian still lost to Obama in the end.

He also pointed to the fact that he would be treated well when he came to the White House next year.

"You let me again, three wins in five games, and if you let me again next year, I will be angry." Obama laughed angrily.

"Then we will have to play five rounds." Tang Tian said with a smile.

……

After returning from Washington, Don began to prepare for the game against the Pistons in the evening.

This is the second meeting between the two sides this season.

The Pistons brought in Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva this season, but their record is still dismal, with 15 wins and 21 losses so far, and they are rushing to the lottery again.

"Don, someone wants to meet with you." During the afternoon training session, the physical assistant Jim Kuster approached Tang Tian.

"Who?" Tang Tian asked suspiciously.

Although he is his own physical assistant coach, because he is outside the three-person core group of the coaching staff, the number of exchanges between the two is actually not very much.

"Kwame Brown."

"Who?" Tang Tian thought he had misheard.

Kwame Brown? He hadn't dealt with himself before.

"Kwame Brown, he found me through Richard." Kuster continued.

Tang Tian nodded, Kuster used to be Hamilton's physical trainer, and now Kwame Brown plays for the Pistons, so it is not surprising that he found himself through this relationship.

"Did he say anything?" Tang Tian opened his mouth and asked, he was not a big idler.

"He didn't say it, but he said it was something very important." Kuster continued.

Tang Tian hesitated, Kuster was his own assistant coach, and if the latter opened his mouth to find him, he would have to give some face.

"You can make an appointment with a time and place, but you have to play a game in the evening, and try to get it done in half an hour."

"Okay." After Kuster finished speaking, he went down.

"Interesting ......"

Tang Tian watched Kuster leave, and muttered softly.

Kwame Brown is a well-known parallel player in the NBA, the man who said "don't pass me the ball" to Kobe.

It's really interesting for such a player to find himself.
