270: Listen, the heart of the champion is beating (seeking the moon)(3/5)
Yao Ming once said bluntly: "If my coach was Van Gundy from the beginning, I might have chosen to retire after a year of playing."
It's no problem to formulate tactics, and Tomjanovic is not bad in terms of on-site command.
During the two consecutive championships of the Mosaic, he rarely got frustrated at critical moments, which was enough to show his on-the-spot dispatching ability.
In addition, Tom Janovic is also a veritable master of chicken soup.
He knows how to encourage his players and how to make young people ignite their desire to win.
If you can't make chicken soup, can you call Master Tang?
To talk about the shortcomings, it may be that Shuai Tang has a too gentle personality and is not tough enough to the players.
He wouldn't even force his players to train.
It is free-range.
O'Neal was crying greedy, okay, he was willing to pay the price of Ma Long's life to replace him with a coach like Master Tang who does not force players to train.
Malone:???
You just want my life as soon as you become a teammate!?
Therefore, there must be no one who fights against him or has no thorns on the team.
Otherwise, he might not be able to hold back if he is too gentle.
But the Suns have no thorns. Li Ang thinks that everyone in the Suns, including himself, is a good kid with both good character and academic performance!
Wu Sheng: That's it, like I can't even use a gun. I will only rush to the audience to help the fans who accidentally slipped.
To sum up, Tang Shuai is the most suitable person for this sun at this stage.
With his level, there is definitely a way to put everyone together and give full play to the characteristics of everyone.
So after knowing that Colangelo's lobbying failed, Li Ang decided to visit him in person and must not miss this opportunity easily.
The first feeling that Master Tang gave Li Ang was that he was very elegant.
His words and demeanors are very elegant and decent.
The speech is not particularly loud, but it is sonorous and powerful.
"Rudy, I heard that the roses you planted are all named after the players." After sitting down, Li Ang did not talk about work directly, but talked about his master's current interests.
Sure enough, when he heard Li Ang comment on the roses he planted, the master smiled and said, "How come you know everything?"
"Hehe, after all, I'm the spy leader of the Suns, and I've heard of it."
Li Ang waved his hand. The master liked to give the player's name to the roses he planted, which was what Li Ang looked at online in his previous life.
It is said that at that time, the two highest bouquets of roses were raised by the master, and he named one Yao and the other Ming.
"It seems that you still can't forget the glorious years of the past."
"A few years later, can you forget your experience of winning the Pistons?"
"Won't."
"That's right, which man can forget these."
"Yes, basketball and championships have given me a rich life. Oh, I don't mean money, I mean something more valuable than money. For example, unforgettable experiences and friends who fight side by side. Before playing basketball, I didn't have brothers. But now, I have a lot."
As Li Ang said, he smiled, and remembered the Bad Boys Legion, Carter McGrady, and Francis.
"If I like to plant flowers in the future, I will probably give them my teammate's name."
Li Ang had already thought about it, and the tallest one was called Daben.
Conforms to his temperament.
"Li, is your goal for the championship this year?" After talking, Tom Janovic took the initiative to bring the topic to basketball.
"certainly."
"But your opponents are all very strong, and the West is full of difficulties."
"I know, but I have a desire in my heart and believe in myself from beginning to end. What can I remember if the champion who has not experienced hardships? We need your help, Rudy." Li Ang went down the dowry and also invited Tom Janovic.
“Hahaha, I’m about life now”
"But you are still concerned with basketball. Every day you look at this rose and these flowers named after players, you always think of the scenes of the mighty scenes back then. Olajuwon, Kenny Smith, Robert Horry, Drexler, you still want to go back to that time.
You still want to create new glory!
You are just concerned, but you don’t have to worry about it, because the Suns have the best medical team. Not only is the developed sports surgery, our medical team is top in all fields. I believe you know, the old Colangelo has recovered quite well in Phoenix.
In Phoenix, you can work while enjoying the Arizona climate while receiving the best rehabilitation treatments. It is not like New York or Los Angeles, which will put you under too much mental stress.
My teammates and I won’t let you down. We will definitely be able to break through the siege and I will definitely set an example.
Indeed, on paper, we are not the strongest team. The Lakers have four superstars, and the Mavericks are all All-Stars. But what you told me, never underestimate the heart of a champion!
I came to Phoenix City just for the championship!
Rudy, if possible, I also hope that there will be a flower named after me in this rose in the future.
Why can’t we create some unforgettable memories?”
Tomjanovic stared at Li Ang, marveling at the young man's conversation.
To be honest, before today, he always thought that Li Ang was just a reckless man.
At this time, Tang Shuai's wife Sophie knocked on the balcony: "Gentlemen, it's time to have supper."
Li Ang did not leave early, but had supper with Tang Shuai and his wife and chatted about things outside of basketball. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
After dinner, Li Ang did not bother them too much and drove away in the dark.
After Leon left, Tomjanovic turned on the TV and watched the latest nBa news.
Since recuperating at home, Tomjanovic has actually rarely cared about nBa.
I only watch a game occasionally.
I don’t know if it’s because of Li Ang, Tom Janovic’s heart is getting stronger and stronger.
That's right, he never intended to give up basketball just like that, and he wanted to create more glory.
However, the current mosaic team cannot meet Tang Shuai's needs.
This mosaic, let alone the championship, is even in the playoffs. Moreover, there is no hope of rising.
For other teams, only the Lakers sent an invitation to Shuai Tang. But the Lakers' invitation was to hope that next year, if Phil Jackson did not stay, he would invite Shuai Tang out.
To put it bluntly, it's just a spare tire.
Shuai Tang is eager for the championship, and the Phoenix Suns
Previously, Tom Janovic's old acquaintance "Silver Fox" Del Harris talked to Shuai Tang about this experience when he led the Chinese team to the World Championships:
"The fighting spirit of the Chinese team is very surprising. They are not the best talent, they are not the most favored, and they are not even the strongest on paper. There are still many problems with that team.
But, they never give up. No matter how difficult the game is, they can hold on until the last second.
I think the Chinese team was influenced by Li Ang as a whole. He always competed the most fiercely on the court and grabbed the most fiercely. He set an example and inspired his teammates to kill from a group of opponents who were stronger than him.
You can feel his desire for victory.
Maybe Li Ang has the heart of champions you call it.”
For some reason, Tom Janovic remembered the passage Harris had once said.
He watched the news on TV and watched people predict the title next season's championship.
When I went to bed at night, Tomjanovic tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"Do you still want the young man who came today?" Sophie didn't fall asleep and asked from the side.
"Um."
"I know you can't let go of basketball, Rudy. You want to force yourself to let go and return to your family, but I don't want you to leave regrets. Besides, you can't keep yourself at home like this. If you want, try it.
I'll accompany you, we'll all go to Phoenix and bring you two dogs. I heard that Arizona is like summer all year round, and the sun is brighter than Texas. There, people's mood will be better."
Tomjanovic did not answer, but looked at the pile of roses he planted.
No matter how beautiful the rose is, it will always wither. But memories and experiences will remain forever.
"Sophie, let's go to the flower market tomorrow. I want to buy some more roses to plant."
"Okay, what name will be given to your rose this time?"
"Yeah, Li Ang."
Tomjanovic smiled, then closed his eyes.
A top medical team, a person with a champion heart, and a team with the ability to compete for the championship are interesting.
In her sleep, Tomjanovic felt that he heard a regular "dongdong" sound.
Listen, the heart of the champion is beating!
A few days later, Colangelo sat next to Tomjanovic and felt that this summer was a bit unreal.
