Chapter 548 Turtle Bombing (Westbrook) (Fourth!)
Nash and Tang Tian returned to New Orleans together, and he and the Pelicans quickly signed a three-year contract.
The position he got was the same as Tang Tian said before, a player development consultant, and his main job was to be in charge of the players' shooting training.
However, the news of this signing did not attract much attention.
Because at the same time, the Warriors announced the dismissal of the team's head coach Mark Jackson and hired former TNT commentator Steve Kerr as the team's new coach.
It is reported that the two sides reached a five-year 25 million contract.
Cole has never served as the head coach of the team before, and the annual salary of 5 million is already very high among the head coaches.
You must know that Popovich, who has the highest salary in the league, only has an annual salary of 10 million, and the salary of Mavericks coach Carlisle is only 7 million.
This news caused a wave of heated discussions among fans, and it was a polarizing one.
"Mark built a defensive system for the Warriors and helped the Warriors reach the playoffs consecutively. This decision by the Warriors management is very cold-blooded!"
"This is capitalists. There are many reasons why the Warriors lost the playoffs last year, but the blame will always be the team's head coach!"
"And the management of the Warriors is stupid enough to give Cole a rookie coach an annual salary of 5 million yuan and a 5-year contract. This is giving away money!"
"The Warriors will regret their decision, maybe two years later we can see that chaotic team again!"
...
"I think this decision of the Warriors management couldn't be wiser. I've had enough of the Warriors' constipation-like offense!"
"Just look at how the Warriors played this past season, they really need a new coach!"
"They have a defensive system, Mark Jackson has done his part, now they need someone to unleash their offensive firepower!"
"Steve Kerr is one of the people with the highest IQ. He has never coached, but I believe he will surprise us!"
...
Tang Tian was not too surprised by the news.
For him, Cole's entry marks the official formation of the Warriors, and the Pelicans will list them as their main competitors.
But in fact, he didn't pay too much attention to this, because after Nash took over, he brought a completely different shooting training method to the Pelicans.
In the past, the shooting training of the Pelicans mostly focused on fixed-point shooting, but what Nash asked for was more catch-and-shoot while running.
The reason is simple. The small ball era brings not only a change in the speed of offensive and defensive transitions, but also half-court defense, assist defense and complementary defense will become faster and faster.
Therefore, compared with previous games, there will be less and less chances of making fixed-point calls on the court.
Conversely, catch-and-shoot shots on the move increase a lot.
Nash was a superstar in the last century, but his understanding of basketball is not old at all, it can even be said to be advanced.
In addition to this general direction, he also added a lot of shooting training content to the Pelicans players that they didn't have before.
Such as one-knee shooting.
As the name suggests, it is to stand on one knee and use one foot to complete the shot.
This is an abnormal shooting training method. It is reasonable to say that it should not appear on the NBA stage, but Nash attaches great importance to this.
In his theory, such a shooting method is conducive to increasing the player's shooting proficiency and body balance ability when shooting.
In other words, such shooting training is very helpful for drift shots and fadeaway shots.
Tang Tian was a little excited when he heard this, because he is now practicing fadeaway shots!
This wave went to Toronto to invite Nash, no loss!
The addition of Nash has made the Pelicans more enthusiastic about training, and they are full of interest in this new training method.
Nash also kept a smile on his face.
The Pelicans reached the Western Conference semifinals last season and have full potential, and the positive training attitude in front of them is really likable.
He felt that Tang Tian told him that he would win the championship in the next two or three years, not just to lobby him.
The Pelicans really have this potential.
Not long after Nash came to the training camp, Fagan sent Tang Tian good news.
He has finished negotiating the new contract with BMW, and the current negotiated price is 30 million US dollars for 3 years, just waiting for Tang Tian to nod.
Tang Tian agreed.
The endorsement fee of 10 million a year is already quite high in car endorsement.
After Tang Tian agreed, BMW officials quickly put Tang Tian's image on the homepage, and changed from the spokesperson in China to the global spokesperson.
After seeing the gold and silver that Nike made a lot of money, BMW seems to be eager to wait.
Two days after signing the endorsement contract, Tang Tian received the endorsement fee for the first year of BMW's new contract, which was almost 6 million US dollars after tax deduction.
In this way, his krypton gold value exceeded 12 million US dollars!
At this time, he has a choice, whether to continue to save Krypton Gold worth 50 million to exchange for Kobe Bryant, or to exchange for a purple skill in advance.
After thinking about it, he chose the latter.
Nike's trip to China gave him enough confidence, and he is very confident in the sneaker dividends.
And by that time, not only the dividend, the endorsement fee of Coca-Cola in November, and the endorsement fee of "Little Bee" shower gel in February will arrive one after another.
In addition, after returning from the trip to China, several domestic companies are negotiating contracts with Fagan, so he now has many sources of income.
So his krypton gold value is less tense than before, and more importantly, the season starts soon, and he also needs to improve his strength before then.
Among his current offensive three-axes, shooting is a purple skill, but breakthrough is only a blue skill, which definitely needs to be upgraded.
You must know that in basketball, your ability to break through others will greatly increase your personal offensive threat, which means a lot.
This is the same as the purpose of exchanging Kobe's back.
Tang Tian pulled out the system interface, and then set his sights on the Turtle Bombing (Westbrook) column.
Turtle Bombing (Westbrook): 20% increase in breakthrough start speed and final stability, and 5 points in aerial confrontation and dunking. Condition: Explosive packs (Maggette) must be exchanged in advance.
This is the only breakthrough skill among purple skills.
The explosive pack (Maggette) has been exchanged before, so the value of this skill is 10 million krypton gold.
Moreover, increasing breakthrough speed and stability, including increasing confrontation and dunking, is a good supplement for Tang Tian now.
After he thought it over, he directly chose to exchange.
After the exchange, many changes have taken place on his attribute panel.
Both the speed and agility have reached 75, the sprint speed on the second-level page has reached 80, the resistance to dunks and sprint dunks have also passed 70, and the attributes such as resistance to shooting have also increased by 1 to 2 points.
The improvement brought about by this skill is the same as the previous McGrady Ganba, and it is all-round.
