Five consecutive victories were ended, but the Pelicans players were not too frustrated.

After all, they lacked Davis, and the Celtics played well in this game.

After the game, the players of both sides held the final handshake on the court.

Tang Tian held each other, and when it was his turn to shake hands, he also hugged the other party.

As a former godfather, Stevens' coaching in this game made Tang Tian care more about it than the performance of the Celtics players.

He was like seeing a young version of Popovich. In addition to being a little bit less experienced, his understanding and reaction to the game was really beyond imagination.

Even for a moment, he felt that Stevens had traveled through time like him.

This is not an exaggeration. You should know that the Celtics recruited the young Stevens, but they planned to make a bad plan.

But Stevens' performance is really impressive. In this second season, he has shown extraordinary coaching ability.

Now they rank seventh in the Eastern Conference and are likely to be able to play badly and enter the playoffs!

This scene is rare in history.

"Do you have time?"

While hugging, Tang Tian couldn't help but ask more questions.

Although he is no longer a coach, he still has some original instincts for coaches with excellent abilities.

Being more elegant is called mountains and flowing water, and being more ordinary is about mutual appreciation.

"What?"

Stevens didn't expect Tang Tian to suddenly ask this.

"We can go have some coffee, it's just a normal exchange between players and coaches."

Tang Tian also said that for no reason, but he had already said it, and he continued to explain.

Stevens nodded after hearing this.

He agreed.

Tang Tian didn't expect that he would agree so simply, but it might have something to do with him.

Although his current status in the league is not as good as James, he is almost as good as Durant. Such a player is unlikely to be rejected if he sends an invitation.

After attending the press conference, Tang Tian walked to the entrance of the stadium and saw that Stevens was already waiting for him there.

The two of them greeted each other and then went to the nearby cafe.

"How did you know that I would choose to pass the ball in the last attack of the regular season?"

Tang Tian asked about the last attack in the regular season.

He suggested that attack tactic to Williams, but Stevens successfully predicted that Smart's fatal steal was obtained.

"I guess."

Stevens said with a smile.

"Guess?"

Tang Tian was surprised by this answer.

"Yes, from the perspective of general coaches, the probability of handing over the last attack to the team's core is very high, but I have studied some videos of your game this season before the game. Coach Williams seems to like to do the opposite of the tactical arrangement."

Stevens said it was a guess, but judging from the pre-match video mentioned in his words, this should be not just a guess, but a judgment.

"Aren't you afraid that we will give the ball to me in the end?"

Tang Tian asked back.

"So I said I guessed."

Stevens replied.

Tang Tian looked at him, and then both of them laughed tacitly.

As a coach, the tactical arrangements on the basketball court, especially the key balls, are originally a bet.

And the way to make the bet bigger is to do more pre-match preparations, like Stevens did.

Go to see the coaching habits of the opponent's coaching, go to see the personality of the opponent's players, etc.

Although Stevens was only in the second year of coaching in the NBA, after a few words, he was really strong, not by luck.

Speaking of which, although Stevens is still an NBA rookie, his coaching at NCAA is a cheating style.

He started as the head coach of Butler University, a civilian university, in 2007, and resigned in 2013, with a winning rate of 77.2% in five years.

In 2010 and 2011, he led the team to the NCAA final twice.

That was also the only two times in Butler's history to reach the Finals.

He has also become the youngest head coach to lead the team to the NCAA semi-finals since Bob Knight in 1973, and the youngest head coach to lead the team to the finals since 1940.

That's right, although Tang Tian and Stevens didn't know each other before, they were not unaware of each other.

In the 2011 NCAA final, Kang University's opponent was Butler University, and the head coach of Butler University was Stevens.

Three years ago, the two of them took a quick glance, and then they sat in a coffee shop and chatted, and they were still opponents. The feeling was actually very subtle.

The two of them chatted a lot in the next time, most of them were tactics and basketball understanding.

As he chatted, Tang Tian's favorable feelings for Stevens increased exponentially because he found that Stevens was the coach who could really talk to him besides Popovich.

And Stevens looked humble and gentle, much better than that bad old man Popovich.

Stevens also has a lot of good feelings for Tang Tian. Among the players he coaches, Gordon Hayward is the most proud.

The latter is famous for its football vendors.

This also shows his favorite player style.

Tang Tian’s understanding of tactics and basketball is really rare.

The first time the two of them chatted was that they really had the result of their appreciation for each other.

"The last question, are you?"

At the end of the conversation, Tang Tian couldn't help but ask Stevens.

"?Yes, I've seen some, Harry Potter, Mixed Elf, Yes, I've seen some."

Judging from Stevens' answer, he shouldn't have read a lot.

"Then do you know what time travel is?"

Tang Tian continued to ask.

"One person dies, and then the soul travels to another person?"

Stevens said tentatively, it seemed that although he didn't see much, he still knew the word "Time Travel".

After all, time travel is not an exclusive name, and it also has it in film and television dramas.

"Yes, did you travel through time?"

Tang Tian asked as he looked at Stevens.

Stevens was stunned for a moment, and then laughed immediately.

"I hope I can be that kind of person, that will make a lot of things simple."

After laughing, Stevens said with a little expectation.

When Tang Tian saw his reaction, he knew that he must have not traveled through time.

However, it was impossible to travel through time. There were not so many traveling through time in this world.

One of them has already brought such a big butterfly effect, and another world will be in chaos.

He abandoned those unrealistic ideas and then looked at Stevens at the end.

"Well, then hopefully one day we can make it to the finals together."

At the end, Tang Tian spoke.

He knew that the Celtics led by Stevens had not reached the finals in history, but his time travel has changed a lot of history.

The Pelicans have the chance to break through the Western Conference powerhouses, and it is not impossible for the Celtics to do so.

When history changes, the future is always full of unknowns, right?
