The dust settles on free agency, the offseason is officially here, and the league is entering a long grass period.

Most of the players go into vacation mode after a season.

Tang Tian also put the team's affairs aside, and there were other team trivial matters in the summer league, and he left them all to Jones and Frank.

When he is the boss, he has to live a little bit of a boss.

He took Hathaway and Swift to Hawaii, where he chartered a vacation home.

Tang Tang and Tang Hao will be 2 years old soon, and they usually don't have time to accompany them because they have been busy, so they have to make up for it this time.

Hawaii is the best time to vacation in July, bathing and surfing at the beach, holding an umbrella and drinking ice drinks and fruits, which is a great relaxation for the body.

And when he was at home, because he had children all the time, Tang Tian hadn't enjoyed married life with Swift for a long time.

Now outside, one of them took two, and the other one was upstairs enjoying the joy of fish and water, and the fire was also low in this hot summer.

After staying in Hawaii for a month, Tang Tian returned to China as in previous years.

Some people have graduated from basketball schools one after another, most of them have entered CUBA's major schools and become the main players of each team, and a small number have entered the youth teams of various CBA teams.

Judging from the feedback from all sides, the strength of these students has been recognized by all parties.

Especially for those students who enter CUBA, because the cultural courses themselves are not bad, the quality is better than that of general sports special admissions, not only has good tactical literacy, but also is easy to manage.

The Basketball Association is reforming, and the CBA has launched a draft since last year, and these students have become the end of the team inspection.

Tang Tian's basketball school pilot has achieved unexpected success.

Yao Ming, who is running for director of the Basketball Association, is full of praise for the school, saying that it is China's NCAA model.

The reason why the NCAA can become the cradle of NBA talent is precisely because there are enough students, and the main reason why CUBA is not good is because of the lack of students.

Most students start from a young age with cultural classes as the mainstay, not to mention professional training, and there is not much amateur contact, and basketball needs to be trained from an early age, and there is a great conflict between the two.

Most of the seedlings who have made a name for themselves in CUBA have only started systematic training when they enter high school or even university, not to mention talent, but to say that the training has fallen too far behind.

But basketball schools solve this problem perfectly.

"The success of the pilot in Shanghai has given us confidence that we will launch new basketball schools in more cities in the future." Tang Tian was also full of pride at the graduation ceremony of the new class of students.

What sets basketball school apart from other schools is that it tells people that playing basketball can be a profession.

This product, which conforms to the CBA draft system but qualifies ahead of schedule, has a huge room for survival.

In addition to the basketball school, Tang Tian also went around his basketball training camp, and also completed the acquisition of all the shares of Liao Basket by the way, and fully owned the team.

After two consecutive championships, Liao Basket has become a CBA powerhouse, coupled with enough youth training investment and advanced training methods, it looks like a CBA new Guangdong situation.

After staying in China for a month, Tang Tian returned to the United States, and at this time, the time had come to September, the team's training camp began, and players returned to the team one after another.

Two months after Tang Tian left the team, he also appeared again at the Barclays Center.

As soon as I entered the training hall, I heard a banging sound inside, and it seemed that there were already a lot of players playing.

Frank saw him enter the gym and ran over to greet him.

Tang Tian motioned for him to continue, and then sat aside and observed.

Booker, Butler, Yi Jianlian, Jokic, Jefferson Jr., Tucker, Oden, Murray, Brogdon, Gerard Green, training camp has only started for two days, and most of them have already arrived.

Tang Tian observed for a while, and was soon attracted by Jokic.

This guy seems to have lost a lot of weight, his training flexibility has improved a lot compared to last season, and he is not falling behind when he fights against Yi Jianlian, and the confrontation is actually a lot better than before.

Normally, weight loss confrontation will come down, but Jokic is abnormal.

Frank had arranged that side at this time, and he had just come over, and when he saw Tang Tian looking at Jokic, he said with a smile: "This guy has been practicing miserably in the summer." ”

"Huh?" When he first arrived, he didn't know the details of the team for the past two months, and Frank said he didn't know.

"Nikola didn't play much in the finals last year, he was stimulated, and he has been training in the arena since the end of the season, and after I discussed it with Rodgers, let him lose weight and fight, as long as the speed is up, it will not be a problem to be able to play big and small."

"That's a good idea." Tang Tian nodded, the Warriors will be the main opponent of the Nets, Jokic is the cornerstone of the future, if you can't defend big and small, and you can't play at critical moments, you can't be the cornerstone.

"And when he gets better and the speed goes up, he can play in the number four position, so he can try to play with Greg."

Tang Tian nodded after hearing this, stretched out his hand and patted Frank's shoulder with a smile: "Lawrence, you can do this!" ”

West is old after all, if Jokic can become a swing man, then the team's future interior line will be Jokic, Yi Jianlian and Oden, as long as they are not injured, they are not afraid of any tough battles.

Frank smiled, he knew that Tang Tian was on vacation in the offseason, so he didn't contact him, but when he came back in the offseason, he was worried that Tang Tian would say that he was good at making claims, and now it seems that his judgment was correct.

"And Devon, that guy has been practicing defense, and he has been practicing as soon as the season is over, and the two newcomers have been choked by him, and now that Gerrard is here, they can finally be liberated." Frank continued.

Tang Tian turned his head to look at the corner of the court when he heard it, and then saw Booker and Green practicing one-on-one.

Green is known for his projection, his breakthrough is also good, and his offensive ability is indeed much better than Murray and Brogdon.

Booker's defense is clear-eyed, whether it is stealing positions and judging, he has made a lot of progress compared to last season, and Green didn't take much advantage in front of him.

Tang Tian couldn't stop nodding his head again and again.

Booker and Jokic represent the future of the Nets, and if he doesn't practice in advance, he will also develop a further development plan this season.

Now that they have raised their awareness in advance and have taken action, this is definitely good news.

And I have been practicing in the offseason, and I believe that there will be an explosion in the new season.

In the previous life, Oladipo and Sabonis of the Thunder team improved significantly because they went through an offseason, and they were called hard brothers by fans.

Now this Nets' version of the hard-working brother is more talented, and the new season is more worth looking forward to.
