Chapter 447 Still booed
There is only one reason for this abnormal reaction.
Because the car model that Tang Tian handed him was the 1969 Dodge War Horse he wanted the most!
Apart from basketball, Duncan's favorite is cars.
Among these cars, what he wanted the most was the Dodge war horse that appeared in the early 1980s TV series "Duke Hazard".
Although, what Brother Tang gave him was a car model.
"Thanks."
Duncan didn't get it this time.
In fact, Tang Tian can also get a car, but with Duncan's personality, he will definitely not want a real car.
On the contrary, he would want the car model, and it was something he liked.
Tang Tian also spent some time when choosing gifts.
"Tony, this is yours."
Tang Tian turned it out again, and then Parker's.
A gold-plated magic sound headphone.
After chatting with Artest, Tang Tiancai discovered that Parker was also a fan of rap and released an album in 2007.
For this type of person, a good headset is a very good gift.
"Thanks."
Sure enough, when Parker took the headphones, his face was full of a happy smile.
Leonard's gift was the Apple 5S mobile phone and Apple computer set that was just released in September this year.
Tang Tian really looked like a big brother or a little brother to him.
When Tang Tian took out Ginobili's gift, everyone in the locker room laughed.
That turned out to be a whole box of yang medicine!
Ginobili himself laughed. He gave Tang Tian a whole box of byts, but he didn't expect Tang Tian to turn around and put a box of this for him.
Tang Tian is still a true exchange of rituals.
"Boris, this is yours, I know you like to enjoy life, you have to record them."
Tang Tian’s gift to Dior was a Canon SLR camera.
"Well, for the sake of this gift, I won't tie you up."
Dior was also very happy to get the camera. He really likes photography.
The teammates' gifts were sent one by one, and Tang Tian then handed them to the newcomers Ayers, Austin Dayer and Belinelli, a box of conditioner each.
"You'll need it."
Tang Tian continued to laugh at the entire Spurs locker room.
After giving gifts to the team members, Tang Tian asked where Popovich was. After knowing that he was in the office, he went there alone.
"Old man, I'll come to see you."
When he knocked in the door, Tang Tian was holding a bottle of 70-year-old red wine and a customized suit.
The wine is for Popovich and the suit is for Budenholzer.
The two of them have never met again since they got drunk in New York last time, and they have been talking a lot now.
Talk about the current situation of the Spurs, talk about Tang Tian’s life in New Orleans, and even talk about Parker’s new girlfriend’s pregnancy.
The conversation between old friends always seems to be everywhere, but they always can’t finish it.
"I'll be targeted at you."
After the conversation was over, Popovich kindly reminded Tang Tian.
What he said was naturally the evening game.
“I will help the team win the game.”
Tang Tian also looked at Popovich and said.
The two looked at each other and then laughed.
After coming out of the Spurs locker room, Tang Tian was in a very good mood.
Not all separations must be like boyfriends and girlfriends. If you cannot become friends, you must become enemies.
That night, the ATT Arena was full.
Spurs owner Pete Holt also came to the scene, and he was on the Vip box on the first floor, which is the best viewing position.
In the commentary seat, TNT's three giants Barkley, O'Neal and Kenny Smith also made a collective appearance.
Tang Tian had extremely high popularity when he was in the Spurs, and after joining the Pelicans, he even performed very well.
The first time I returned to San Antonio to face the old owner, it was full of highlights and was also the focus of fans' attention.
"What do you think Tang will perform tonight?"
Before the players entered the court, the three giants in the commentary seat could no longer hold back and started chatting first. Barkley directly raised the most concerning issues for fans.
"Maybe 20 points? The Spurs are very familiar with him, which will make it difficult for him to show their strength." Smith said after thinking about it.
"No, you are wrong, he will still get 30+ points." After O'Neal lost to Barkley last time, he became a firm supporter.
"What do you mean?" Barkley smiled and looked at O'Neal.
For some reason, since the last show, Barkley saw O'Neal on the show and remembered the scene of the latter tearing his pink skirt with his hands.
"Don't you think that Tang now and Tang during the Spurs are completely two players?"
O'Neal spoke.
After hearing this, Barkley and Smith thought for a while, then nodded at the same time.
Tang Tian is now able to shoot suddenly, which is really different from the 3D players during the Spurs.
Simply put, it is the difference between system players and core players.
Or in other words, this is no longer the Tang Tian that the Spurs and Popovich know, so the targeting effect is naturally not that strong.
They were chatting, and the lights on the scene dimly, and the game entered the opening ceremony.
The Pelicans players were first introduced.
First it was Morrow, then Jason Smith, and then Holiday.
"No. 31, 2.03 small forward, Tang~~Tian!"
The host habitually elongated the tone.
Tang Tian stood up from the bench.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Boos sounded all over the sky.
Tang Tianzheng waved his hand and was stunned when he heard the boo, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This is the NBA.
Morrow's previous reminder is right. No matter what you have brought to this city, you should boo you.
Not many fans knew the details of Tang Tian leaving the Spurs. For San Antonio fans, they only saw Tang Tian finally leaving.
Tang Tian didn't care too much, and after waved his hand, he entered the queue.
After the Pelicans, the Spurs' starters also appeared one after another.
Parker and Green on the outside, Leonard and Duncan on the front line, and center Split.
After the opening ceremony, the players of both sides warmed up in the last three minutes before the game.
"I think this kind of treatment (being booed) will make Don more eager for victory." O'Neal said in the commentary seat at this time.
He is probably the one who can understand Tang Tian the most.
He was the core of the Lakers and brought the three consecutive championships to the Dynasty, but when he was traded to the Heat and returned to the Lakers' home court, he was still booed by fans.
Sometimes fans are so fucked. When they love you, they love you to the death, but when they don’t love you, they will completely forget how much they loved you.
Not to mention Tang Tian's words, he has always been famous for his good attitude towards fans, whether it is to sign autographs or to put fans first when winning the championship.
"This must be a wonderful game." Smith also nodded and agreed.
