Anji's visit broke Tang Tian's small holiday, and also made him realize that the pace of the new season has come.

The Finals and the Cavaliers are still fresh in our minds, but in the next 20 days, the draft of the new season is already coming.

The joint trials, private trials and inspections of each team are also coming to an end at this time.

If a team has not even decided on a head coach, it is equivalent to being 20 meters behind the opponent in the 100-meter race.

Darrell Morey was clearly the one who was most anxious.

Alexander had given him more than one order to renew Tang Tian's contract last season, but after the season ended, he couldn't even find Tang Tian's figure, and he, the new general manager, was really unfavorable.

"Boom~"

He was annoyed when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?!" His tone was bad.

"It's me, Keith." A middle-aged man's voice came from outside.

Keith Jones, the old man of the Rockets, has come up step by step from the team doctor, once worked as Yao Ming's personal trainer, and is now the deputy general manager of the Rockets.

"Come in." Morey's tone softened significantly, and although he was the general manager, he didn't spend as much time with the Rockets as Jones.

"What's the matter?" He asked, holding back his luck.

"Tang Tian is in the office." Jones followed.

"What! Tang Tian is back?! Morey jerked himself up from his seat.

"Yes, he went back to the coach's office, I don't know if he came to get ......"

Before Jones could finish speaking, he saw Morey hurrying out.

"Don, you're finally back!"

As soon as Tang Tian walked to the office and didn't sit down, Morey ran in in a hurry.

Seeing Morey, Tang Tian didn't seem too surprised, the new general manager of this team didn't say that he was familiar with his previous life, even he had already played last season.

"Well, I'm pretty much rested." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Hearing Tang Tian's words, Moredo's smart people knew what he meant at once.

"It's time to take a break, you were busy enough last season." Morey followed.

"Well, by the way, how are the rookie inspections on the team? I just looked at the office and it seems that there is no information. Tang Tian followed.

"At my place, I'll go and get it." When Morey heard Tang Tian's words, he was already 100% sure of his choice, and turned around and walked back after speaking.

Looking at Morey's anxious appearance, Tang Tian couldn't help but smile.

In fact, at the end of the season, he already had a decision in his heart.

Last season, because he started as an assistant coach, he couldn't speak to many decisions at the beginning of the season, resulting in a congenital shortage of the team's lineup, and there was no good bargaining chip if he wanted to trade in the middle of the season.

These things are added together, if it weren't for Uncle Huo's injury, Thibodeau's unintentional words just awakened the memory in his mind, this championship is the Spurs.

But even if you are lucky enough to win the championship, it will not be enough.

Last season, the Spurs and the Suns were the only two competitive teams, but there were only these two, and the strength of the other teams was obviously inferior.

Winning the championship in the weakest year, these words will definitely not be able to run away.

If he left the rocket with such words, Tang Tian was obviously unwilling.

If history doesn't change, this year the Lakers will get Gasol, the Celtics will have the Big Three, and the difficulty will soar from last season's "easy mode" to "hell mode".

If you can still defend your title in Hell mode, that's really valuable.

It has to be difficult to have excitement, and I am sorry for the identity of this traverser.

This is also Tang Tian's favorite thing to do, a challenge.

Soon, Morey came over with a dozen materials, and he, the general manager, was like an assistant at this time because he had just taken office.

"Mr. Morey has worked hard." Tang Tian said and got up and went over to help.

"It's okay, it's okay." Morey smiled, Tang Tian was able to come back, he finally completed the task assigned by the boss, what is this two legs.

Morey said as he pulled out a document from the top of the document.

"This is a contract extension after I discussed it with the management, you see, it's just a draft, if there is anything wrong with it, it can be changed."

Tang Tian took the contract, and then motioned for Morey to sit first.

The content of the contract is similar to the previous one, and the biggest difference is the annual salary and years.

The annual salary has doubled from the original 2 million to 4 million, and the number of years has also changed from 1 year to 4 years.

The annual salary of 4 million is already an absolute high salary for a coach who has only coached for one year, you must know that in the previous life, the Rockets signed Adelman, it was only 3 million, and even Van Gundy, a famous coach at that time, was only 5 million a year.

This kind of treatment shows that the Rocket Team absolutely recognizes Tang Tian's ability.

"The contract is fine, but I hope it can be changed here." Tang Tian pointed to the number of years and said.

The annual salary and years were next to each other, and Morey thought that Tang Tian was referring to the annual salary, and then said: "Is the salary too low?" I'm going to talk to the rest of the management. ”

"No, no, I'm talking about the number of years, if I can, I'd like to sign another one-year contract, and if the salary is less, it's fine."

When Tang Tian said this, Morey was obviously stunned.

The competition for NBA head coaches is much more fierce than the players, after all, there are more than 300 players in a league, but there can only be 30 head coaches.

And there are players who have a big difference in that the coach's contract is fully guaranteed, and even if he is cut, he can get all the salary in the contract.

So on this basis, NBA head coaches all hope that the longer the annual salary of the contract, the better, after all, when the team has a poor record, the coach is the first to take the blame.

But now it's good, Tang Tian actually asked to change from 4 years to 1 year, which is really unheard of.

Seeing Morey's surprised eyes, Tang Tian probably guessed what the other party was thinking.

If you want to say that a normal person would not ask for this, but the problem is that he is a time-traveler, and he doesn't want to stay in a team all the time, which is the same as work, and it is too boring to stay the same, so one year, two years of the limit is acceptable to him.

"I'm looking forward to a salary increase." Tang Tian said with a smile, he could be regarded as giving a reasonable reason.

Morey thought for a while and nodded, believing what Tang Tian said.

"I'll try to explain it to management." Morey did not give a positive reply, and the one-year contract was too short, which was not stable for the team.

Tang Tian nodded, and after taking Morey away, he then picked up the draft materials and looked at it.
