Chapter 580 Yao Ming must be the chairman of the Basketball Association
Seeing Jokic's expression, Tang Tianzhen was angry and wanted to laugh.
Fortunately, Jokic looks very obedient.
This fat should still be reduced.
After finishing the evening training, Tang Tian and Olsen had a video call for a while.
Olson is now busy filming in Los Angeles.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian found that there was a text message from Yao Ming on his phone.
I asked him if he had slept.
He called back and talked for a while about something related to the president of the Basketball Association.
The big guys in the Sports Bureau are similar to those in charge of the Basketball Association. They have good results in the last Olympics, and their enthusiasm for taking the initiative to change is very low.
If you don’t want to move above, it’s useless no matter how hard the people below you make.
"I will support you."
Tang Tian gave Yao Ming a positive answer.
This is also his promise to Yao Ming.
After hanging up the phone, he asked Carl to contact Zhang Weiping in the Midea and said that he wanted an exclusive interview.
After arranging the time, the next morning, Tang Tian and Zhang Weiping conducted an exclusive interview in the same room. The content of the interview was related to the chairman of the Basketball Association and the Olympics.
Yao Ming has a great influence in China. After he announced his election as chairman of the Basketball Association, he has caused a lot of public opinion among fans and the media.
However, this kind of public opinion has not been transformed into help, and it is still a shortcut.
This is what Tang Tian is doing now.
"If Yao Ming cannot be elected as the new chairman of the Basketball Association, I will not go to the Rio Olympics two years later."
"Is this sure?"
"Confirm, and very sure."
In the interview, Tang Tian said very absolute words.
This interview was broadcasted by Tencent in the afternoon of the same day and quickly made headlines in major media.
Tang Tian’s current influence in China is not even just from basketball or sports.
Such trashing remarks made the senior officials unable to help but curse, but they were helpless.
Tang Tian is not within the system, they have no way to do anything.
They stick to the rules, but they are not stupid. They know very well how the results of the 2012 London Olympics came into being.
Moreover, Tang Tian is not the same as Tang Tian at that time. If Tang Tian loses Tang Tian, half of the national team's strength is a conservative statement.
No one can bear this responsibility.
"CBA will be separated from the center of the basket tube..."
"CBA will establish its own basketball association, which will be a civil organization that is different from the basketball management center..."
"Yao Ming is a popular candidate for the chairman of the Basketball Association..."
Domestic news broke one by one, and Tang Tian’s exclusive interview was like a knife, forcing the senior executives to take action.
Seeing these positive news, Tang Tian was in a good mood.
Speaking of which, it is the same everywhere. If you want to have weight in your words, you have to have weight in your own way.
If it were two years ago, the Sports Bureau would probably not have been able to miss him, but now the situation is completely different.
The same is true in NBA. Xiao Hua dared to blatantly blackmail the Pelicans last season. If he becomes the league's signature in the future and serves as the chairman of the union, his voice will not be lower than Xiao Hua.
You should know that the NBA Alliance, the labor and the capital are employed and are also cooperative relations, and they cannot do without either party.
Of course, those are still future events. After completing the interview, Tang Tian focused on the game against the Heat.
The Heat lost James and Bosh in the offseason, and now Wade leads the team with a single core.
Speaking of which, thanks to Gary Neal last season, Wade's injury was much better than in history, and he was still able to take on the core of a team at this time.
However, Riley has no major operations except signing Wade, and the Heat have obviously started to rebuild.
As for signing Wade, it was just selling tickets and filling in the poor line.
Faced with such an opponent, the Pelicans' goal is to win the opponent to strive for a winning streak to start the game.
Before the game began, the players of both teams made final preparations in the locker room.
Whiteside's excitement is visible to the naked eye.
He played a pretty good preseason game, but he was having very little playing time in the opening game due to fouls.
Just like the questions from reporters at the post-match press conference, the outside media reported after the game that he was almost the same as last season.
This is a very infuriating thing. You should know that he has been training hard on brother training camps this summer.
Now the new game is his best chance to prove himself.
The New Orleans Arena is already full.
After last season, New Orleans's market has been completely activated, and the Pelicans' first victory over the Trail Blazers has made fans even more enthusiastic.
Moreover, although the opponent's Heat has greatly reduced its strength, it is still the defending champion.
The evenly matched game looks good, and this kind of game that ravages the defending champions is also exciting.
After the opening ceremony, the lineups of the two teams were released one after another.
On the Heat, Moss and Wade from the outside, James Ennis and Josh McRoberts from the front, and center Chris Anderson from the center.
The Pelicans have a regular lineup, with Holiday and Tang Tian on the outside, Ariza and Davis on the front line, and Whiteside on the center.
Whiteside was very excited, and Davis gave him all the chance to jump the ball this time.
Anderson jumped with him.
Anderson is nicknamed "Birdman", and he jumps amazingly. Although he is old, he is still very good at jumping.
The referee threw the ball high into the air, Whiteside jumped at the line and used his wingspan to push the ball back to the Pelicans' half.
Although he changed his personal jump ball, the Pelicans still got the chance to take the lead in attacking.
Tang Tian received the ball in the frontcourt against Ennis.
Ennis was the second round pick last year and only signed a contract with the Heat this year, so he is also a rookie.
However, he is slender and has excellent arm span, and is a good defensive wing.
Tang Tian accelerated directly and passed him.
After breaking into the inside, McRoberts came to defend, and Tang Tian immediately knocked the ball to Davis at the free throw line.
With the bombing of the Tortoise, his breakthrough became easier than before, and he was really more at ease than last season.
And unlike last season, his main goal now is not to score points and compete for the scoring champion, but to lead the team to win more victories.
So he doesn't have to charge every game, and playing against the Heat now is just a chance to give his teammates a chance to increase the ball.
Davis made a mid-range shot from the free throw line.
"Bang!"
The basketball jumped out of the basket.
At the beginning of the game, he still couldn't find the feel.
Anderson jumped up at the basket and was about to collect defensive rebounds.
But at this moment, a figure jumped high from behind him and grabbed the ball with both hands.
Anderson was caught off guard and was directly driven out of the air.
"Bang!"
Chapter completed!
