When the news came out, the entire alliance was shocked.

Tang Tian, who has won 7 crowns in 7 years, chose to cultivate for a year when he wanted to win 8 crowns in the new season?

The impact was just too great.

Thunder fans felt like the end of the world with dark clouds over their heads, while fans of other balls finally had a feeling that the night had finally dispersed and dawned.

This is exactly like the ancient war era, the emperor retreated, and the era of the heroes competing for hegemony came!

Thunder did not disclose the reason to the public, but TMZ and other entertainment media quickly found out the reason why Tang Tian chose to rest.

chose to rest for the sake of the family, and after people knew about it, their understanding of Tang Tian went further.

Aside from anything else, Tang Tian must be a good father and husband.

After being busy for so many years, Tang Tian could finally calm down and rest.

He was a little uncomfortable with Swift's side at first, and would talk to the Thunder on the phone from time to time, but when the team slowly got on track, he didn't care too much and became a complete bystander.

And with Tang Tian's company, Swift is very happy every day, even if this kind of day is something she never thought of before, the fetus is slowly becoming normal under careful care.

At this point, Tang Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief, the fetus was saved, the mother and child were safe, for him, this year's efforts were worth it.

Taking care of Swift on this day, he stretched his waist, returned to his study, took out his tablet to read the news, and it was at this moment that he saw a news story that TMZ had just reported.

James Harden was photographed hanging out in a nightclub, spending a lot of money overnight, and taking two big-hipped beauties with him when he left.

Tang Tian frowned slightly, Harden still couldn't control his hobby.

Now that the Thunder are having a good day, he's starting to indulge in his private life again.

Tang Tian called Stevens and asked him to remind Harden more.

Harden is now the tactical core of the Thunder, and as he showed in the Finals last year, he is the key to the Thunder's ability to defend the title, and if he goes wrong, the impact on the Thunder will be huge.

Stevens' reminder worked, and he was always experienced in dealing with it.

Before you know it, it's Christmas.

Hathaway and Swift's baby is 3 months old and has passed the initial danger period.

And after 3 months, Swift's appetite finally improved.

Tang Tian went to Auckland to hire a well-known Chinese chef, and went to Los Angeles to find a well-known Western pastry chef, and spent the most colorful Christmas for his wives on his estate.

The baby in the belly grew up day by day, Hathaway and Swift's faces were full of smiles, and Tang Tian could hear the sound of them fluttering inside even if he was close to his stomach.

It's bound to be two boisterous kids.

It was also during this time that TMZ's news about Harden going in and out of nightclubs broke out one after another.

Tang Tian talked to Stevens on the phone again, but the reply he got made him ponder for a while.

"Brad, we're winning, aren't we?"

"Brad! I relax and it doesn't affect my performance, why do you always have to care about this kind of thing? ”

"Coach Stevens, I said it, I didn't affect the team, don't interfere in my private life!"

"You're not a coach, you're just an assistant coach, don't! Don't come and remind me again! ”

……

Harden's tone deteriorated, his attitude deteriorated, and Stevens' bitterness slowly lost its effect.

Come to think of it, Harden completely proved himself in the finals last season, leading the team to win the championship, and this season's statistics are also rising, and there is a tendency to compete with Durant for the team's boss.

As a result, at this time, he was just a hobby in his private life, and he was repeatedly reminded by an assistant coach that he could be happy in his heart.

After knowing the situation, Tang Tian called Harden, Harden had a good attitude on the phone, but he also called Haha when he was in a nightclub, it seems that he really doesn't want to change.

Tang Tian was now idle at home, and he didn't have much to say, so he could only hang up the phone helplessly.

He can only hope that these private lives of Harden will not affect his performance on the court.

Time flies, and the Thunder are still soaring.

It was also at this time that the main rivals of the Thunder team suffered major upheaval.

The Heat's Wade has had a lot of ups and downs due to an aggravated knee injury, and they are currently behind the Pacers.

Compared to the Heat, the Cavaliers are in a more serious situation.

Paul's knee injury, as well as Yao Ming's ankle injury recovery, have erupted one after another, stop-and-go, the team relies on Butler and White to support the season, and the current record has fallen to fifth in the East, the injury is as fierce as a tiger, and the Cavaliers' fall is unexpected.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in January 14, the East and West All-Stars are hotly released.

The Thunder all three young starts, plus Serge Ibaka came off the bench, setting a record for the new century.

With the potential for each other, the Thunder's road to defending their title looks unstoppable.

"Tang Tian's roster for the Thunder is flawless, and even if he chooses to take a break this season, I think the league should award him the best general manager." Barkley said this on TNT.

"Yes, the Thunder's road to defending the title is smooth, maybe they can really shout out who else." O'Neill is extremely teasing.

Barkley and O'Neal said nothing wrong this time, the Thunder have a clear division of labor, Stevens has also proved his ability to integrate the new recruits into the team perfectly, and the Thunder are in enough form for them to complete the title defense.

But at this juncture, Harden has undergone some changes.

His offense is still excellent, the threat of breaking through the ball is huge, his foul-making skills are maturing, his scoring is still like a bag, and the only thing that has increased is his mistakes, which seem to be too relaxed, and occasionally there are low-level mistakes.

This is nothing, compared to the offense, the biggest change comes from his defense, he will always stand inexplicably on the defensive end, and even when defending the opponent's fast attack, he will stand still and remain motionless, only glancing with his eyes, completely like a stake.

"Eye Deng" appeared in O'Neal's new show "Five Sharks", in which O'Neal even ridiculed Harden's defense enough for him to take out a show.

Although the Thunder team's record is still good because of its strength, the appearance of "Eye Deng" has caused a discordant voice within the team, and it has also cast a shadow on the future of the Thunder team.

Tang Tian watched all this, and also realized that Harden's transformation may be really difficult to avoid.
