The Nuggets are menacing, and even the regular meeting of the Rockets' coaching staff, the assistant coaches are talking about it worriedly.

They bear the brunt of the game, and they play the Nuggets twice a week after Christmas.

"Alright, folks, give your heads a break, it's Christmas soon." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Seeing Tang Tian's reaction, the coaches' hearts also settled down a lot.

Tang Tian has already led this team to a performance that exceeds expectations, as long as he is there, everything is not a problem.

After the regular meeting, the coaching staff also ushered in a rare day of rest.

Christmas in the United States is similar to the Chinese New Year, which is a day to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.

"Don, are you alone for Christmas?" Thibodeau spoke as he got up.

"No, I went back to my aunt's house, and it seems like I haven't been back for more than half a year." Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Are you ready for Christmas?" Thibodeau then asked, he asked because he was afraid that Tang Tian did not understand American Christmas culture very well.

"Everything is ready, just waiting for Santa Claus to knock on the door." Tang Tian said jokingly.

Thibodeau smiled and said "Merry Christmas" and went out.

Tang Tian packed up his things and walked out.

When I walked to the door, I saw Yao Ming coming over without knowing when, and was chatting with Xibodeo.

Seeing Tang Tian, Yao Ming and Xibodu said a few words, and then walked away towards him.

"Merry Christmas, Coach." Yao Ming said with a smile.

"Merry Christmas."

"Coach, do you have time at noon? I'd like to invite the whole team and the coaching staff to Yao Restaurant for lunch. Yao Ming continued.

Americans like to have a party on Christmas Eve, and Yao Ming is following the local customs.

"Yes." Tang Tian nodded.

Yao Restaurant was opened by Yao Ming's parents and some investors in 05, because of Yao Ming's popularity in Houston, there are a lot of fans who come to visit, today is Christmas again, and there is a long queue outside the restaurant.

However, Yao Ming, the host, naturally didn't have to queue up, and after the bus carried them there, he went straight to the largest box in the restaurant.

Not long after they sat down, the dishes that had been prepared for a long time were already served.

Braised prawns, dried shredded chicken, lion head with crab roe, five-spice smoked fish, salted shrimp, duck with eight treasures......

The main colors of Yao Restaurant are Sichuan and Shanghai cuisine, and this large table is basically full.

The team members were eager to try it, and many of them were new to Chinese food.

Learning to hold chopsticks is naturally indispensable, and the team members are also embarrassed, like Spanoluris, who was stunned and couldn't catch it in the end, so he could only use a fork, which caused a burst of laughter from others.

When it was time to eat, the team members nodded frequently when they ate, and the delicious comments never stopped.

This is the charm of Chinese food, which is far better than those monotonous Western food.

Halfway through the meal, Yao Ming personally brought a large plate with more than 20 bowls of wontons.

"This is my mother's own cooking, and I also added some of my own recipes, so everyone can try it." Yao Ming spoke.

After he finished speaking, the team members suddenly burst into cheers, Yao Ming's mother made it herself, and the meaning of this gift was obviously different.

Tang Tian hadn't eaten wontons since he crossed over, but after eating them, he found that it was really a little different, and he didn't know what exclusive secret recipes he had added.

After the ravioli was eaten, Maddie gave Millsap a look, and the guy went to the next room and brought out two large boxes.

"Hey guys, here's a pair of headphones I found recently." Maddie pulls a headset out of the case.

"Skullcandy's latest, I've experienced it myself, and the sound quality is superb."

skullcandy, this brand Tang God knows, in the previous life, the earphone brands that NBA players liked, one was Magic Voice, and the other was skullcandy, Rose, Irving, Harden, and Durant were all his loyal customers.

It's just that Skullcandy was only released in 03, and the value in front of me is about 200 dollars.

The team members received the gifts and cheered.

After Maddie, there were team members who sent things one after another.

Looking at the atmosphere below, Tang Tian was also in a very good mood.

Such a team is destined to be able to make a big difference this year.

After the party, Tang Tian then drove back to his aunt's house.

An ordinary family in Houston, because there is only one daughter Hathaway, they treat Tang Tian like a son.

"God, you've lost weight, it's hard to be a coach in the NBA, right?"

"Look at you, you've lost a lot of hair, you have to rest early in the future, I don't want you to be the Jeff Van Gundy on TV."

……

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, so I can't avoid being a regular guest.

In the past half a year after the crossing, Tang Tian has basically been busy with the coach's affairs, and he has not enjoyed the warmth of home for a long time, and the owner of this body is an orphan, which is already his home.

Turkey, Christmas salmon, smoked ham, corn custard, gingerbread, red wine......

In the afternoon, Tang Tian and Hathaway helped out, and they were both preparing for Christmas in the evening.

Eating Christmas dinner is just a result, and the process of preparing for it is the fun.

The warm family made Tang Tian feel unprecedented warmth.

At night, when the surrounding neighborhoods are lit up with Christmas trees, Houston becomes extraordinary.

After praying for the New Year, they began to eat.

Tang Tian behaved casually, which was also a way to shorten the distance between him and his family.

Auntie's laughter has never stopped, although I don't know what has happened in the past six months, but a nephew like this is obviously much better than the stuffy gourd before.

After dinner and the utensils were cleaned up, they waited for the New Year's bell to ring.

Tang Tian and Hathaway stood on the balcony and watched the scenery.

"It's been a long time since I've seen my parents so happy." Hathaway looked at Tang Tian and said.

"Really?" Tang Tian said with a smile, to be honest, he didn't know what this house was like before.

Hathaway nodded.

"No way, who told me to speak." Tang Tian said jokingly.

Hathaway laughed at Tang Tian's words.

When the laughter stopped, she looked straight at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian looked a little weird, touched his mouth with his hand and said, "Didn't I wipe my mouth clean?" ”

"No, I see you've really changed a lot." Hathaway spoke.

"People will always become." Tang Tian was a little weak-hearted, and said curtly.

"Well, you're getting better, and you're getting better." However, Hathaway's words relieved him, as if what she said had changed was something else.

At this moment, a burst of Christmas singing was heard not far away.

When they looked up, they saw twenty or thirty people walking down the street, singing Christmas songs in front of a house.

After a short while, the door opened, and two children ran out of the door to join them.
