Tang Pop still respects Popovich.

Being able to coach a team for more than two years, and always leading the team in a strong position, continuous learning, progress, change, is really not what ordinary people can do.

Everyone's evaluation of the coach is different. In Tang Tian's eyes, the old man is one of the greatest coaches.

"Okay, when?"

"How about tomorrow? I'll wait for you in San Antonio, and I will be reimbursed for the ticket." Popovich said with a smile.

"it is good."

The two chatted for a while, and when the time and place were fixed, the matter was settled.

The next day, Tang Tian asked Xibodu to lead the team for daily training, then put on a suit and went directly to Popovich's home.

San Antonio and Houston are both in Texas. The plane used to be about an hour away.

Tang Tian got out of the car and took a taxi. Half an hour later, he appeared at the door of Popovich's house.

The master has worked in the league for more than two decades. Although not as rich as the players, he lives in a suburban manor.

When Tang Tian arrived at the door, Popovich's daughter, Gil, a 34-year-old woman, was greeted by his face.

"Welcome, Don, my dad is in the wine cellar. Come here in a minute." Jill finished, and led Tang Tian to the living room.

Although the manor is mentioned, the whole structure is still very retro. There is a chimney in the living room. There is a firewood burning in the chimney. There is still a large Akita dog sitting next to the firewood. When he saw Tang Tian, ​​he kept his eyes on him. It wasn't until Jill snapped a few times before he bowed his head and continued to lie there.

Akita Inu knows it. In previous life, I watched a movie called an American professor and an Akita dog. Akita dog waited for his master at the train station every day. One day the professor died of a heart attack. However, Akita Dog didn't know that he had been waiting at the train station entrance, starved and frozen for nine years, and finally waited until he died.

When he was watching the movie, a man in his thirties was watched crying.

This movie is based on real events, which also shows that Akita's loyalty is well known even among dogs.

Popovich had such a dog, but he matched him well.

"Don."

While thinking about it, Popovich's laughter sounded from the Queen.

The old man was wearing a blue-and-white casual sweater, holding two bottles of red wine in his hands, and standing behind him with a smile.

Seeing Tang Tian's dress, Popovich laughed and said, "Why are you so formal? This is not a date. I am not a pretty girl."

Tang Tian froze a bit, but probably guessed the character of the old man, and said with a smile, "This is respect."

"Respect?" Popovich paused, then nodded, "Yes, respect, I honestly like you a bit."

After speaking, he sat on the sand, took out two red wine glasses from under the table, wiped them with a white cloth, then opened one of the bottles of red wine, and started pouring into it.

"This is a 199o wine from the French Igan winery. Try it."

In 199o, it was the world famous Yigan winery.

Just these two prefixes know that this wine is extremely precious, Popovich is really kind.

Tang Tian also drank red wine. He lifted the glass and shook it slightly. He smelled it with his nose, a slight fragrance, and then took a small sip.

The taste is sour with a touch of sweetness and a strong fruity aroma.

It really is good wine.

Popovich also held up the glass at this time, but it was different from Tang Tian's drinking method. After shaking it, the old man drank the whole half cup in one sip, and then poured half a cup into it, watching Tang Tian One by one.

This bottle is less than tens of thousands of dollars, and Popovich is really a bit luxurious.

And the older the wine, the more powerful it is. Is n’t the old man afraid of getting drunk?

Oh yes, forget Popovich is a big drunk.

Tang Tian took the glass and took another sip.

"Yes, what you wear reminds me of one thing. I also have a niece. She is about the same age as you and looks very beautiful. Would you like to introduce it to you?"

"Cough ..." Tang Tian took a sip of wine just down his throat, cold Budingovich said this, and he coughed for a while.

"I have a girlfriend." He went on, and Popovich didn't follow entertainment news and probably didn't know about him and Swift.

"That's a shame. If you were my niece, we would be able to drink wonderfully." Popovich said slightly regretfully.

Tang Tian smiled bitterly for a while. I heard that Popovich was more interested in drinking than basketball. This was even sold by his niece.

At this time Jill took some fruit plates and filled them with dried fruits and snacks.

Popovich held up his glass and drank half a glass, and then said, "Who do you think is the real coach in this league?"

Real coach?

Tang Tian glanced at Popovich, at this time, it is definitely not appropriate to say that you are or I am.

But talking about this with my father is quite interesting.

He thought about it, Auerbach had died, and Pat Riley had changed his career as general manager last season, so the rest.

"Phil Jackson, he already has 9 championship rings on his hands." The first reaction in Tang Tian's mind was him.

"Phil counts half, that guy is very good at dealing with star relationships, but half depends on luck. Without Jordan and Kobe and Shaq, he wouldn't have gotten a ring." Popovich seemed to be contemporary Jackson didn't catch a cold.

Don't look down on Jackson?

"Larry Brown? He is an epoch-making coach, a living fossil of the league." Tang Tian continued.

"Larry is a respectable coach, but his coaching style is so old-fashioned that he can't keep up with the times." Popovich shook his head with a smile and poured half a glass of wine into the glass.

"Jerry Sloan, his pick-and-roll tactic is well-known in the league." Tang Tian continued.

Popovich laughed directly, then shook his head.

"Does Jerry have a championship ring?"

"Don Nelson?"

"He has no idea what defense is."

"Rick Carlisle? I played against him in the first round and I can feel his excellent tactical level." Tang Tian continued.

"Yes, Rick's tactics are good, but he's terrible in every way except tactics."

"Rick Adelman ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ Mike D'Antoni, George Carr, or Daoge Rivers?" Tang Tian really didn't know which old man was good and directly left the remaining well-known coaches. All moved out.

"Rick and Mike only know how to play offense. They have no sense of defense. George is even more defensive. The offense is not even as good as Rick and Mike. As for my brother, he didn't know his level before last year. "

"Then I don't know who else is." Tang Tian said, shaking his head.

"I think ..." Popovich lowered his glass at this time and looked at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian at this time unconsciously grasped the intensity of the wine glass, and then turned to look at the sky outside the window.

How does this rhythm feel a bit wrong!
