Ron Artest.

This name was too familiar to Tang Tian.

The original palace of Auburn Hills can be said to be famous in the first battle.

Although it is notorious.

Of course, Chinese fans have a deep memory of him, in the previous life, Artest joined the Rockets in the season, the Rockets played a 22-game winning streak, and Maddie couldn't play in the playoffs, and it was he and Yao Ming who brought the team to the Western Conference Finals, and fought seven games with the Lakers.

This is a very extreme player, if used well, it will bring unprecedented iron and toughness to the team, and if it is not used well, it will be a time bomb.

"No, no, he's going to ruin the team." Morey shook his head directly.

"And he's not an inside player." Perhaps remembering Alexander's advice, Morey added.

In the previous life, the Rockets traded for Artest by Morey, but now the situation is completely different, he is not even willing to sign Matt Barnes, how can he want Artest with a more explosive temper?

'Petrus is in terrible form at the moment and we need a change to the bench. Tang Tian opened his mouth and said that he had given Petrus enough opportunities during this time, but the latter's level had never recovered.

"Substitutes? Do you trade Artest to come and play as a substitute? Morey was shocked by Tang Tian's words.

Although Artest has a temper, he has been a starter before, and he has just turned 30 years old, averaging 20.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in the Kings this season, and is a core player who cannot be beaten.

"Yes, the current starting performance is very stable, Artest can still play 4, can also defend 2, this kind of all-round player is very suitable for the current team, in this way, we will not suffer too much against the Lakers, after all, they also have a guy named Odom sitting on the bench."

Morey pondered for a while after listening, if Tang Tian can really use Artest well, it will indeed help the Rockets a lot in the playoffs.

But a player who has been playing as a starter before, pulled over to play as a substitute, can it be used well?

Morey glanced up at Tang Tian, the two of them had been dealing with each other for a long time, he knew the latter's temper, and he would stick to what he insisted on to the end.

Before he did it, he must have refused directly, but before Alexander left that day, he also pulled him to say a few private words, this year is Tang Tian's contract year, if he really gets too stiff and forces Tang Tian away, then Alexander will definitely offend him at that time.

He changed his perspective and said, "Even if we give out Petrus, the king will not trade Artest, this transaction is not worth the same." ”

"Landry, Karl Landry has trade value, Artest is also out of contract, he's a problem player, and it's easy to renew his contract." Tang Tian continued, what he didn't say was that he wanted to give Landry another place to have playing time.

After Tang Tian finished speaking, Morey fell into deep thought.

Landry has played as a starter for the Rockets for a period of time before, and the effect is quite good, averaging about 15+5 data per game, this is only the second year of rookie, and Petrus is also out of contract, if you really negotiate, it seems that it is not impossible.

"I'm sure I can solve Artest's problem, and he's the best target for reinforcement in the current situation." Tang Tian said emphatically.

"Yes, I'll talk as much as I can." Morey spoke last.

Tang Tian nodded, Morey said this, he couldn't say anything more, he couldn't put the knife on the other party's neck.

Come to think of it, no matter where you are next season, you have to have a role that can speak up to the management.

On the evening of February 14, U.S. time, Tang Tian, Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming, Maddie and Sun Yue, Scola and Morrow got on the plane to Phoenix.

Compared to last year, there are fewer players participating in the All-Star Game this year, but the battle is not small at all.

Yi Jianlian, Yao Ming and Maddie were all selected for the All-Star Game;

Sun Yue and Scola competed in the rookie game for the second year in a row;

The most interesting thing is Morrow, because Mike Bibby temporarily withdrew from the game with a temporary injury, and the league temporarily wanted to find someone, but the All-Star weekends that were looking for had their own arrangements, and finally found Moreau.

Moreau, a rookie, was excited to be an All-Star and readily agreed.

The day after the defense against Phoenix, the All-Star Game kicked off.

The first day is an All-Star warm-up phase, and there is no Celebrity Game until 7 p.m.

The team members were all enjoying a rare vacation time in Phoenix, and Tang Tian was not idle, and took Hathaway directly to the sunbath.

Phoenix, literally translated into Chinese means "immortal bird", also translated as "Phoenix", the reason for this name, because the city is located in a subtropical desert climate, the average annual temperature is the highest in the United States, only the Persian Gulf Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and Baghdad in Iraq can match.

The average summer temperature here is over 38°C, and on one day in 1900, it even reached the highest ever recorded 50°C.

Summer isn't a place to stay, but winter is one of the most popular places for visitors across the country.

In the winter of February, the average daily temperature here is between 10~22°C, that is to say, at noon on a sunny day, lying on the soft chair under the umbrella and enjoying the warm sun bathing is the most pleasant thing in winter.

Tang Tian and Hathaway, right next to a private outdoor pool, wore sunglasses and lay on soft rattan chairs basking in the sun.

The pool is heated and they can go straight down for a swim if they are in the mood.

The two of them enjoyed the warmth of nature.

"Victoria's Secret lingerie show is in June, right?" Tang Tian turned his head and said.

"Yes, you're going, aren't you?" Hathaway smiled charmingly, and she looked sexier and sexier in her swimsuit.

"Of course, on such an important occasion, I want to watch you shine like a diamond." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"It's sweet in your mouth." Hathaway said and sent a flying kiss to Tang Tian.

"Let's go, go down for a swim?" Tang Tian said and stood up.

Hathaway nodded, and stood up from the wicker chair, her swimsuit revealing her perfect figure.

This kind of goblin is a little goblin that can squeeze people dry.

The water temperature is just right, and people are soaking in it, which is much more comfortable than simply basking in the sun.

After swimming for a while, Tang Tian leaned next to him to rest.

"Do you need me to give you a massage?" Hathaway brushed her wet hair and swam to him.

Tang Tian nodded.

Hathaway's technique is average, but she obviously doesn't do it either, rubbing her fingers against her skin, which is more like a flirtation.

After pressing for a while, Tang Tian picked Hathaway over and sat in front of him.

Hathaway's body twisted slightly, and she also hugged Tang Tian's head and bowed her head and kissed deeply.
