Chapter 14: Kick his ass

Attending the press conference after the race, Tang Long returned to his residence.

Fortunately, I didn't see the landlord's daughter tonight, otherwise I would definitely be pestering Tang Long again.

Early the next morning, Tang Long went to train as usual.

In addition, the Cavaliers are also trying to find a way to make Big Z recover as soon as possible.

Once Da Z's injury improves, Tang Long and him will have to have one person to make sacrifices.

Should Da Z continue to serve as the starting center, or put him on the bench and concentrate on giving Tang Long a newcomer to play as a substitute?

As for this matter, the Cavaliers management must have a coordination, at least notify Big Z himself.

James and Mike Brown's idea is to let Big Z return from injury and directly be Tang Long's backup.

Clear-eyed people know at a glance that Tang Long's value and talent at both offensive and defensive ends are far stronger than Big Z.

There is Tang Long in the team, and the Knights have always maintained their vitality and combat effectiveness!

And letting Tang Long serve as the substitute for Big Z is inevitably a bit tyrannical.

Since James entered the league in 2003, he has been eager to win a championship, and he is very eager to bring the first O'Brien Cup in team history to his hometown team!

Therefore, in his eyes, it is most suitable for Tang Long to be the starter, and Da Z to be the substitute.

He told head coach Mike Brown what he had said, and the latter was obedient to James' plan.

The next step is to do psychological homework for Big Z himself and inform the Cavaliers management.

In the afternoon, after James finished training, he directly found Tang Long and said, "Hey! Tang Dynasty... I would like to ask you, how long does it take for the contract with the management to expire? ”

Tang Long was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "LeBron, what are you asking for?" ”

"Oh! It's nothing, I just think it's time for you to renew your contract, what do you think? ”

James finally got a strong teammate, but he couldn't let Tang Long be snatched away by other teams.

If Donlong leaves the Cavaliers after his contract expires, James will regret it for the rest of his life.

Tang Long thought for a while and said, "LeBron, there should be half a month left before my contract expires." ”

"Oh, I see. Okay, I'll help you ask the management for their opinions, and then show sincerity to renew your contract, what do you think? ”

Tang Long smiled: "LeBron, of course you can, if you don't have sincerity, then I can only choose to roll up and leave." ”

When James heard this, he shook his head like a wave drum.

Just kidding, now anyone in the Cavaliers can go, but he and Tang Long can't go, and he still expects to win the championship with Tang Long!

After two games of super play, James recognized Tang Long's personal ability from the bottom of his heart.

"Don... You can rest assured, there is me in the team, the management will not be insincere, you wait for my good news. ”

"By the way, when the time comes, I will introduce you to another agent, who do you want to be your agent?"

James asked.

In the NBA league, there are several gold agents.

Among them, James's agent is Rich Paul's guy.

This kid is very good at getting into trouble, but because he is too shrewd, many players are unhappy with him.

And the agents of people like Yao Ming, Anthony, Nash and others are Bill Duffy.

However, Bill Duffy is a good person, but his business ability has collapsed slightly.

Compared to Rich Paul's business ability, Bill Duffy is inferior.

"Is it a broker? This is casual, I have only one request, sign a big contract, earn more money and return to China for retirement. ”

"Haha..."Tang Long's words made James laugh, "It's okay Tang, with your current performance, it is trivial to make enough money, and there will be no pressure on you to return to China to retire when the time comes." ”

"Okay, then the broker, you can help me introduce me, I don't know much about this."

"Yes." James readily agreed.

Bidding farewell to James, Tang Long returned to his residence.

There is still half a month to sign a big contract, and then the parents in China will be brought to live in Citigroup.

It is true that this cannot be regarded as his parents in the real sense, but since he has traveled to this era and still occupies the body of his predecessor, his parents in the future will be his own parents.

With a good wish, Tang Long fell asleep.

The next game is going to be a tough one.

After reading the schedule in the training hall, Tang Long's brows frowned unconsciously.

Because in the next game, we will go to the TD North Shore Garden Arena in Boston to challenge the Celtics with the Big Three!

2007 was the year when the Big Three of the Green Army were formed.

It was also in this season that the Big Three of the Green Army joined forces for the first time and defeated the Los Angeles Lakers led by Kobe Bryant and won the championship this season!

Of course, only Tang Long knows these inside information, he will travel back in 2022, and he is a die-hard NBA fan himself, so he knows too well the old enemy grievances between Hu Kai!

Therefore, playing the Big Three of the Green Army brought Tang Long a lot of pressure.

They're not as easy to bully as the Wizards and the Heat.

The Green Army's iron-blooded defense in this period is known as the strongest Iron Gate Legion in the Alliance!

"The Big Three of the Green Army must defeat you, and they can't overcome your mountain, how can they break into the finals and meet the Los Angeles Lakers?"

Tang Long secretly thought that he knew very well that if he teamed up with James to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, he had to cross the mountain of the Celtics.

There's also the Detroit Pistons, which were also a powerhouse around 2007.

Although the Pistons don't have any superstars, and they don't produce superstars, their tactics are very reasonable, focusing on team basketball.

Their defense, in particular, is not inferior to that of the Celtics at all.

Let's put it this way, around 2007, if you want to make it in the East, you have to beat the Big Three and the Pistons.

While pondering, Tang Long fell asleep.

The time came to November 18, 2007.

On this day, the Cavaliers flew to the ancient city of Boston on a team transfer.

As soon as I got off the plane, a light rain began to fall in the sky.

The North Shore Garden Arena is reflected in front of everyone's eyes.

A little old man with a cane and a large cigar in his mouth is the Celtic team totem!

The Cavaliers and Celtics are not rivals, and the two teams have not had a chance to become rivals over the years.

Now it's different, and now the Celtics are recruiting and forming a tough Big Three.

And the Cavaliers suddenly have Tang Long, an explosive player, and the intensity of the scene must be unprecedentedly good-looking.

When the Cavaliers players walked into the locker room, countless Green Army fans erupted in anger.

The city is similar to San Antonio and is not very welcoming to outsiders.

Racial discrimination in Citigroup, in particular, is very serious in Boston and San Antonio.

"Damn, they're coming, that tall Asian kid, do you see? It is said to be the recently rising China Tang! ”

“shi t… Regardless of what China Tang he is, or China Long, when he comes to our Boston, he only has the share of abuse! ”

"You guys look at it, in tonight's game, KG and Perkins will definitely kick the ass of this dragon boy, let's wait and see!"

Boston fans angrily sprayed Tang Long, threatening that Garnett and Perkins would kick Tang Long's ass on the inside!
