Seeing Jokic's expression, Don was innocently angry and wanted to laugh.

But the good thing is that Jokic seems to be obedient.

This fat should still be able to be reduced.

After finishing the evening training and going home, Tang Tian and Olsen had a video call for a while.

Olsen is now busy with a film shoot in Los Angeles.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian found that there was an extra text message from Yao Ming in his mobile phone.

I asked him if he had slept.

He called back and talked for a while about running for the president of the Basketball Association.

The bigwigs of the Sports Bureau, similar to the group of people in charge of the Basketball Association, had good results in the last Olympic Games, and their enthusiasm for taking the initiative to change was very low.

The top doesn't want to move, and the people below don't want to toss.

"I will stand in solidarity with you."

Tang Tian gave Yao Ming an affirmative answer.

This is also the promise he made to Yao Ming at the beginning.

After hanging up the phone, he asked Carl to contact Zhang Weiping in the United States, saying that he wanted an exclusive interview.

The time was arranged, and the next morning, Tang Tian and Zhang Weiping conducted an exclusive interview in a room, and the content of the interview was related to the chairman of the Basketball Association and the Olympic Games.

Yao Ming's influence in China is very large, and after he announced his candidacy for the president of the Basketball Association, he caused a lot of public opinion among fans and the media.

But this kind of public opinion has not been able to transform into help, and it is still close to the door.

This is what Tang Tian is doing now.

"If Yao Ming can't be elected as the new president of the Basketball Association, I won't be in Rio two years later."

"Are you sure?"

"Sure, and very sure."

In the interview, Tang Tian said very absolutely.

The interview was broadcast on Tencent that afternoon and quickly made headlines.

Tang Tian's influence in China today is not even just basketball, or the sports world.

This kind of broken jar and broken remarks made those high-level leaders can't help but scold their mothers, but they are helpless.

Tang Tian is not in the system, they have no way at all.

They are stuck in the box, but they are not stupid, and they know very well how the results of London 2012 came about.

And the current Tang Tian is not the same as the Tang Tian at that time, and it is conservative to say that Tang Tian lost half of the strength of the national team.

No one can afford to take this responsibility.

"CBA will be separated from the basket tube center ......"

"The CBA will set up its own basketball association, which will be a non-governmental organization different from the basketball center......

"Yao Ming is a popular candidate for the president of the Basketball Association......"

Domestic news broke out one by one, and Tang Tian's exclusive interview was like a knife, forcing the high-level executives to do it.

Seeing these positive news, Tang Tian was in a good mood.

Speaking of which, it is the same everywhere, if you want to speak with weight, you have to have enough weight yourself.

If it was two years ago, no one in the Sports Bureau would have been able to bird him, but now the situation is completely different.

It's the same in the NBA, Xiao Hua dared to blatantly beat the Black Pelicans last season, and if he becomes the league's signboard in the future and also serves as the chairman of the union, then the right to speak is not lower than Xiao Hua.

You must know that in the NBA league, labor and management are hired and employed, and it is also a cooperative relationship, and neither party can do without it.

Of course, those are still things in the future, and after getting 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 single-handedly.

Speaking of which, thanks to Gary Neal last season, Wade's injury is much better than in history, and he can still be the core of a team at this time.

However, Riley has not made any big moves other than signing Wade, and the Heat are clearly starting to rebuild.

As for signing Wade, it's just selling tickets and filling in the poor line.

In the face of such an opponent, the Pelicans' goal must be to win the opponent and strive for a winning streak in the opening season.

Before the start of the game, players from both teams made final preparations in the locker room.

Whiteside's exuberance was visible to the naked eye.

He played a pretty good preseason game, but played very little in the opener due to foul trouble.

Just like the doubts of the reporters in the post-match press conference, the outside media reports after the game even said that he was not much different from last season.

This is a very infuriating thing, you must know that he has been training hard for his brothers training camp almost every day this summer.

Now the new competition is his best chance to prove himself.

The New Orleans arena was packed.

After last season, New Orleans' ball market has been fully activated, and the Pelicans' big win over the Trail Blazers in their first game has made the fans even more enthusiastic.

And although the opponent Heat team has greatly reduced its strength, it is also the defending champion.

The evenly matched match is a good one, and this kind of game that ravages the defending champions is also expected.

After the opening ceremony, the starting line-ups of both teams were released one after another.

On the Heat's side, Chambers and Wade on the outside, James Ennis and Josh McRoberts on the front, and Chris Anderson on the center.

On the Pelicans' side, there is a regular lineup, with Holiday and Tang Tian on the outside, Ariza and Davis on the front, and Whiteside at center.

Whiteside was excited, and Davis gave him all the jump opportunities this time.

Jumping with him was Anderson.

Anderson, nicknamed "Birdman", has an amazing jump, and although he is old, he is still very good at jumping.

The referee threw the ball high into the air, and Whiteside scrambled to jump and use his reach to get the ball back into the Pelicans half.

Although the individual jump ball was changed, the Pelicans still got the opportunity to attack first.

Tang Tian received the ball in front of the court against Ennis.

Ennis, who was a second-round pick last year and only signed a contract with the Heat this year, is also a rookie.

However, he is slender and has a good arm span, making him a good defensive wing.

Tang Tian directly accelerated past him in one step.

Burst into the inside, McRoberts came over, and Tang Tian immediately knocked the ball to Davis at the free throw line.

With the Turtle Bombardment, his breakthrough has become easier than before, and he has really handled the ball with more ease than last season.

And unlike last season, his main goal now is not to score for the top spot, but to lead the team to more wins.

So he doesn't have to charge every game, and playing the current Heat team is just a chance to give his teammates a chance to increase the ball.

Davis' mid-range shot from the free-throw line.

"Bang!"

Basketball jumps out of the hoop.

At the beginning of the game, he still didn't find his touch.

Under the basket, Anderson jumped up to pick up a defensive rebound.

But just then, a figure leaped up from behind him, and grabbed the bouncing ball with both hands.

Anderson was caught off guard and flew straight out of the air.

"Bang!"

Whiteside held his back, directly made up a two-handed dunk, stepped into Anderson in the air, and smashed the ball into the basket!
