Sun Yue's outburst was unexpected by everyone, and during the post-match press conference, reporters asked him one after another.

"A player's success is not unexpected if he's still training at Christmas."

Tang Tian's answer made the reporters below stunned.

The day after the end of the Christmas war, almost all the media reported on the news that this answer was added.

Christmas and the Chinese New Year are the same concept, and this New Year's plus practice is already comparable to Bryant's sentence of Los Angeles at 4 o'clock in the morning.

Also because of Tang Tian's words, Sun Yue was asked about this more than once when he was interviewed by reporters in training.

Sun Yue didn't expect this to be widely reported by the media, and he maintained the humility of the Oriental people in response to the reporter's praise, and when asked why he had to practice more at Christmas, Sun Yue's answer also moved the reporter.

"I thought I was good before I entered the NBA, but when I got here, I realized that I was good for nothing, and the only talent I had was hard work, and that was what Coach Tang Tian said to me, and from the moment I heard it, it became my motto."

After turning around, the media found that the reason for everything was still because of Tang Tian.

Taking hard work as a kind of talent, this sentence is destined to become a classic quote popular in the NBA.

After the Christmas War, the game continued.

This time, Sun Yue did not make his debut as high as before, and with his excellent defense and vision, he gradually defeated Jose Barria and became Billups' first backup point guard.

The Rockets are also singing all the way, losing only 2 games in the whole of January, and they are in amazing form.

With this momentum, on the last day of the end of January, before the team visited the Washington Wizards, as the champion of the 06~07 season, they will visit the White House.

Since 1985, NBA champion teams have had a routine of visiting the White House, and the Rockets are no exception.

It is a privilege for most people to be received by the president.

Such an occasion is also a memorable moment for Tang Tian.

He knows that this year's president is Bush Jr., who is in the last year of his presidency.

Knowing that Tang Tian was going to the White House, Hathaway pushed a big catwalk show, took a new suit and tie, and went directly to the hotel where Tang Tian lived.

"That's what it looks like."

Looking at the handsome Tang Tian in the mirror, Hathaway nodded with satisfaction.

Tang Tian smiled, it felt like a little daughter-in-law dressing herself up.

"Remember to ask me for a presidential signature." Before going out, Hathaway admonished.

"I'll ask him to sign his name here." Tang Tian said and took the tie around his neck.

Hathaway smiled and kissed Tang Tian, and then let him go.

On the bus to the White House, someone came up to greet him.

Because the championship was won last year, it is inevitable that there will be personnel changes in the team, and although some of the original champion members have left the team, they can also go with them to visit.

Blake and Hayes are two of them.

"Hey, coach." Blake was smiling, he signed a big contract this summer, and he sat firmly in the Trail Blazers' starting point guard position, all thanks to Tang Tian.

"Steve, how was your life in Portland?"

I haven't seen him for a long time, so naturally I can't help but ask for warmth.

The hotel is just over an hour's drive from the White House, and you can already see the iconic dome of the White House.

The bus entered from the south gate, and after stopping inside, the team members got off the bus one after another.

As far as the eye can see, there is the lawn of the South Courtyard, which is where the president and VIPs often wave to the people, and it is also the most common place in film and television dramas.

Tang Tian had seen a lot in his previous life, "The White House Has Fallen", "Shocking Crisis" and so on, to say that the United States has done a good job in this regard, it will always use their presidential mansion to make movies, and if they are filmed, the White House is occupied or something.

President Bush was still on other business, and they were also accompanied by White House staff at this time, and they began their tour first.

"The trees here were planted by the president or the first lady herself, and the magnolia, which was planted by President Andrew Jackson more than 100 years ago to commemorate his deceased wife, has now become a towering tree...... "The staff told them as they walked.

As the only executive residence of the President of the United States for 100 years, there will always be many stories here.

Along the way, they also saw all the way, most of them were coming to the White House for the first time, and their eyes were full of curiosity, and of course, there was excitement that could not be hidden.

They walked through the staircase of the National Floor, covered with oil paintings, and then reached the East Room, where the President was to receive them.

"The East Room is the largest reception room in the Kokuga Building, where the remains of seven presidents have been parked, the weddings of many presidents' daughters have been held, President Roosevelt has watched Japanese sumo wrestling performances here, and President Kennedy has enjoyed beautiful performances here......," the staff member said.

Tang Tian noticed a movement at the door at this time, and then saw the guards at the door standing up and saluting.

Here comes President Bush.

"Mr. President." The staff also paused for an introduction and saluted Bush.

Bush waved and greeted the Rockets with a smile.

"Champions, welcome to the White House."

Bush was 65 years old at this time, with white patches of hair, and he was many times older than when he was elected president seven years ago.

The level of busyness of a country's leadership is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most laborious profession.

President Bush was enthusiastic and smiled and came over to greet the Rockets directly.

'Welcome, you're so young, you're going to be a very good player in the future.' When he saw Tang Tian, President Bush looked a little surprised and said with appreciation.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment.

Because he came to the White House, everyone was wearing formal clothes, and he looked like he was probably the youngest on this team.

"President." The staff on the side hurriedly spoke, "He is the head coach of the Rockets, Tang Tian." ”

"What?" Bush was stunned, his face slightly embarrassed.

Because it had just passed the New Year, he was very busy with work, and he rushed over just after meeting with the president of Puerto Rico, but he didn't expect to make a joke.

"Haha, I'm sorry, it's my fault, Coach Tang Tian, welcome." Bush laughed out loud in embarrassment.

"It's okay, it's not the president's fault, I think the coaches who came before were probably old men about the same age as Deacon Bay." Tang Tian said and glanced back at Uncle Mu behind him.

As soon as these words came out, the Rocket team members burst into laughter, and Bush let out a hearty laugh.

A joke, covering up the embarrassment, Bush looked at Tang Tian with even more appreciation.
