The Golden Invincible of Basketball
v3 Chapter 684: New orleans saints
Holt's interview was soon released by FOX Sports.
This has attracted a lot of heated discussions among fans on social media.
"Holt endured for two years and finally couldn't help it? He was announcing to the world that their original decision was correct!"
"This is the capitalist. He has forgotten how the Spurs' two consecutive championships came about. Now they are going to eliminate the Pelicans, and they will speak out immediately!"
"No way, in the past two years, the Spurs' management has been sprayed up silly. Don't believe it and ask the Spurs general manager Buford!"
"Buford: Uh-huh !!!"
但是 "But I'm inexplicably upset. This approach feels like a snob, a feeling of danger!"
"Yes, those reasons are also very weak. Leonard can grow to this point. Will Tang really be worse than him at the Spurs?"
"Those are excuses, but the series is not over yet, I still hope the Pelicans can fight back!"
"That's impossible, just wait next year. I think Jokic will grow up next year. The Pelicans will definitely win!"
Uh ...
Holt's interview attracted great public opinion, and the Pelicans' team members were unhappy after seeing it.
Tang Tian is the team's boss and a hot candidate for MVP, but in Holt's mouth it feels like an ordinary role player.
The morale of the team that was 1 to 3 behind was extremely low, but because of this stimulus, it has picked up a lot.
Of course, the overall situation is still sluggish.
Regardless of the team, it is difficult to be optimistic in a 1-3 situation.
Tang Tian is also thinking about how to improve the morale of the team in his spare time.
He said that history is a good example, but he hasn't experienced this situation even in his last life. As for other experienced teams, he doesn't know those famous names.
The Rockets are readily available, but they have no acquaintances. Harden, Bosh, and Parsons have a bad relationship with him.
When Tang Tian thought about it, his villa came by an uninvited guest.
Demps.
Demps came to Tang Tian for one reason.
虽然 Although the playoffs are still going on, but one month later is the draft, the Pelicans have to start preparing for the draft next year in advance.
The Pelicans have given the Clippers the second round of the year before, but they still have a first round.
首 This first round pick has been determined at the end of the regular season and is a 28th pick at the end of the first round.
Tangtian brought Jokic to the Pelicans last year, and Demps will definitely find him this year.
Two people sat in the living room and chatted for a while.
The Pelicans now have a stable lineup. They don't really need to add new players too much.
But even the strongest teams also need to have rookie reserves, so this draft has to be selected.
I really want to add that the team's fourth position is relatively weak.
勒 Teletović has dropped out of rotation and this summer's contract expires, most of the Pelicans will not stay in the summer.
Even the current replacement Aminu is not a serious number four.
Tang Tian gave Demps several inspection subjects.
Bobby Portis, Larry Nans Jr., Monterez Harrell, Sadie Osman.
Now that history has changed a lot, the Lakers and Knicks who have not made the playoffs before have entered the playoffs.
So the draft will become even more confusing.
Those who may be helpful for the team after the market interruption in the first round, Tang Tian are on the list.
Demps took the list and left.
Now Tang Tian is like Zhuge who is planning, and is constantly giving advice to the Pelicans.
And it's free.
After sending away Demps, Tang Tian suddenly remembered something.
When the Pelicans and Grizzlies scored 2 to 2 in the first round, Demps and Laussa came to the training ground.
效果 That training session worked surprisingly well.
At that time, he felt that the encouragement of the management to help the team members was very obvious.
Think about it, although the NBA is not the boss directly pays players, but management still decides the player contract.
Everyone wants a good impression with management.
When thinking of this, Tang Tiansheng sent a text message to Benson, and after making sure the other party had time, he called him again.
The content is very simple. He hopes that Benson will come to the scene while the team is training and say something to encourage the team's morale.
Before playing against the Grizzlies 2 to 2, the situation can only be regarded as deadlock. Demps and Lausza are enough.
But now 1 to 3, if you want to borrow external forces by the cliff, you must borrow the best.
Ben Benson is the most suitable candidate.
Ben Benson gladly accepted.
Although he is old, he really does his best for the Pelicans.
队员 The next day's training class, the team members were training, there was a commotion at the door.
It turned out that the team owner Benson and his assistant came to the training hall.
The sudden appearance of Benson excited the team members.
Takamoto's current physical condition is not particularly good, and he rarely goes out, let alone in the arena.
不用 He doesn't need to say anything, it is a great encouragement to the players in the training hall.
When Ben Bensen entered, he secretly met Tang Tian.
After Borrego brought the players together, Benson laughed and told them a story.
"In 2010 ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ The Saints scored in the Super Bowl. The opponent was the Colts led by Peyton Manning, one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history. Some people think we can't win, and even after halftime, we are behind as expected.
But during the intermission, the team's star quarterback Drew Briese said something that I will always remember.
'We may lose this game, but this may be my closest to the world championship and it may be the only chance, so before the final whistle sounds, as long as my leg is not broken, I will desperately run . ’
I was in the locker room at the time, and we reversed the opponent in the second half. His words let me know one thing. If you don't do your best, you don't know how strong you are. "
The Saints are a legend of New Orleans. As a traditional weak team, they won the only Super Bowl championship in team history in 2010 and the only team in New Orleans to win the North American Professional Sports League.
Before winning the championship, they even missed the NFL playoffs for two consecutive years.
What Benson said was what happened in the Super Bowl that night in 2010, when the Saints fell behind in the first half, reversed the Jedi in the second half, and reversed the Colts to 31-1.
The situation at the time, and the Pelicans do have similarities now, and there are some advantages.
After Ben Benson said, Tang Tian looked around his teammates and found that they looked very excited.
I'm in New Orleans, and the Saints' story will certainly be heard to some extent.
Now Benson uses this story as a team owner, and it is still a personal experience to inspire players.
This effect really does more with less, and even exceeds Tang Tian's expectations.
