In the fourth game of the series, Kobe slashed 46 points to recapture the Lakers.

But back in Houston, with Yao Mai's 70-point performance, the Rockets still beat the Lakers 116-111 and eliminated their opponents 4-1 close to the finals.

Kobe averaged 40.2 points, 6.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists in the entire series, and shot 51%.

But with the exception of him, Odom, Bynum and Gasol have performed averagely.

As Tang Tian had thought before, the Lakers used to "" like swimming on the shore, the tide receded, only to know who is paddling.

The series ended earlier than expected, which means that the Rockets will have more time to rest and prepare for the finals.

Tang Tian is in a good mood.

The first dynasty after crossing was like the first time. Although the illusion has been passed many times, things are coming a little bit nervous and exciting.

After the day of the game, he went to the underground garage to drive and unlocked the lock before he went in. He saw a Rolls-Rolls car from the next door and smiled to him.

"Coach Don."

He was a bit impressed by this man, the Warriors president Rick Welz, an old man in his 50s.

The NBA management structure is complex. In addition to the boss, there are also the chief financial officer, president, vice president, general manager, and a series of department heads.

The president is second only to the boss and the chief financial officer, because the boss and the chief financial officer generally do not have access to daily affairs, so the president is basically equivalent to the team's sole authority.

"Do you have time to talk?" Welz knew that Tang Tian knew himself and didn't introduce himself, and said with a smile.

Tang Tian and Welz were unfamiliar, and this sudden meeting was unexpected.

"I have something to go back to," he said.

"Just a few minutes." Wiltz's attitude was low.

Tang Tian hesitated to chat and nodded.

This Welz is the president of a team, and it is estimated that he has been waiting in the garage for a long time, not giving it for a few minutes.

After Welz got on his Rolls-Royce, after the door was closed, the driver drove out.

"This is Jefferson from 1874, this is an absolute treasure." Welz took out a strong package from behind him, and also brought a cold old wine bottle.

Jefferson wine was produced by Yigan Winery. This bottle of wine Tang Tian has heard before. It was already worth 80,000 US dollars when it was auctioned in the 19th century. Now it is even more valuable. Welz is in the blood.

"Wait." Tang Tian stopped Welz from opening the wine.

The so-called reactive power is not affected, and the president of Welz waited for himself to open such a precious red wine.

With the previous experience of Popovich, he could guess how much.

"Mr. Welz looking for me, wouldn't it be a simple drink?" Tang Tian continued.

"Yes, no, but it's okay to drink and drink." Welz opened the bottle, and soon the car was filled with a scent of wine.

These red wines for more than 100 years are really not covered.

Welz poured two small cups, one on the table in the car in front of him, and handed it to Tang Tian: "Try it."

Tang Tian shook and picked up and smelled.

The rich scent makes people intoxicated.

Taking a small sip, there was a slight sour taste.

Maybe it's been kept for too long, the taste may not be as good as the 90 years before Popovich's bottle.

But soon, he felt that his whole body was a little soft, like a little faint drunkenness, unspeakable and comfortable.

"It's really good wine." Tang Tian put down his glass with a smile.

Welz also took a sip and then said, "Coach, what do you think of the city of Auckland?"

"The scenery is pleasant, the traffic is convenient, and there is a beautiful bay bridge." Tang Tian thought for a while and said that he has played more games with the Warriors. These are his shallowest memories.

"Yes, Oakland is the most livable city in California. I heard that coach you have a record company in Los Angeles. If you live in Oakland, it will be more convenient." Welz went on.

"Yes." Tang Tian nodded.

"Auckland actually lives the most Chinese people in the United States. I've been to Chinatown many times and it's really lively. Every time I go, I think I've come to China." Welz said with a smile.

After listening to it, Tang Tian smiled, and it turned out to be at the CEO level. He spoke so gradually.

"I don't know what the coach thinks about being a city hero?" Welz suddenly turned and asked irrelevant things.

"City hero?" Tang Tian didn't understand the words of Welz.

"The Warriors used to have a glorious past, won three championship trophies, Chamberlain once scored 100 points here, but those are the things of the last century, a city with the most crazy fans, but now Is it ironic to sink into the mud and see the future? "

"If someone can stand up and lead the team back to glory at this time, he will definitely become a hero of the city, people will shape statues for him, and children's gates will praise him."

"And Pete and Joe, in order to rebuild the glory, will not be stingy, so coach, are you interested in coaching the Warriors next season?" Welz said finally.

After a large circle, the subject is finally here.

"Mr. Welz, I think it's too early to discuss these? I'm still the Rockets head coach," Tang Tian continued.

What Welz said was true, but like he said, he didn't find the right time.

"No sooner or later, when it's time for the offseason, if you want to find a coach again, I have to wait in line."

After listening to it for a moment, Tang Tian laughed. This Welz was quite interesting.

"I drank Mr. Fields' wine and it tasted very good. I heard your suggestion and it sounded good, but my focus now is in the next finals."

After listening to ~ lightnovelpub.net ~, Welz laughed and nodded and said yes.

They are all smart people, and he won't be able to hear the words outside of Tang Tian's words.

Taking the Warriors as one of the choices, the bottle of Tibetan wine he opened today is worth the money.

The two chatted for a while. The driver drove the car back to the bottom garage. After Tang Tian was put down, Welz drove away.

Watching the car disappear in sight, Tang Tian could not help shaking his head.

As the end of the season draws closer, more and more people are coming to him.

It seems he has a headache this summer.

He shook his head, opened the car door to enter, and just closed the car door, he turned a fright.

There was a **** big beauty sitting on the co-pilot.

Isn't it the "Black Widow" Scarlett Johansson!
