Chapter 683 The Twins Are...
Not long after the meeting between Tang Tian and Stevens ended, another acquaintance came to Stevens' home.
Celtics general manager Danny Ainge.
The renewal of management and coaches is essentially the same as that of players.
The two parties negotiate with each other, make concessions, and finally reach a mutually satisfactory contract.
D'Antoni and the Pelicans are also in the same process, but when it comes to the last step, they fly.
This also gave Angie some warnings. When his eyeliner told him that Tang Tian had also visited Stevens, he couldn't sit still.
Although Stevens has coached the Celtics for the past two years, although the overall record is mediocre, the spirit of the team is still very good.
In other words, even if the team is performing badly, the fans still have great confidence in the team, and a coach who can do this is not ordinary.
And more importantly, there is no better option on the market than Stevens.
He is not a general manager who likes to talk too much about personal feelings, but he talks about interests, and the interests of the team determine that he needs to keep Stevens with all his strength now.
"We can offer a bigger and longer contract than the Pelicans, stay here."
Angie's attitude is completely different from the previous negotiations.
"It's too late, I've already committed to the Pelicans."
But this time Stevens' answer was decisive.
He has given the Celtics and Angie enough time. In fact, the salary he asked for is only less than 1 million more than the original salary.
But Angie has been trying to convince him with various reasons, the team is rebuilding, he is still young and so on.
It's pointless for Anji to change his words now, he has already promised Tang Tian, he is a man of his word.
"That's just a verbal agreement, just like D'Antoni and the Pelicans before, it doesn't count if you don't sign a written contract. This is a normal thing, and you will get greater benefits if you stay."
Angie continued to persuade.
Stevens shook his head.
Angie is a very capable general manager, and he admires his judgment on some things, but the only way to put interests first makes him uncomfortable.
Both players and coaches are human beings. He chose to leave the NCAA and choose the Celtics to a large extent because he valued Boston's traditions.
What Auerbach did to the team's meritorious players was very admirable.
But what Angie is doing now is different from what he imagined.
This taught him the difference between the NBA and the NCAA, and it was time for him to start his new coaching career.
"Brad, I apologize to you for what I did before, I know you and your family very well, you have lived here for two years, you know it is not easy to adjust to a new city, and New Orleans often There are hurricanes, but you know Boston, stay."
Angie earnestly said, and began to play the emotional card.
"Danny, I've really made up my mind, don't persuade me any more."
But Stevens didn't follow him.
"Why? Why do you have to go to the Pelicans, just because there is a good opportunity? The Celtics are the same. Now the team's accumulated draft picks will explode in the next few years. Are you a person who likes to take shortcuts? ?”
Angie is too soft to be hard, and the implication of these words is also obvious.
You go to the Pelicans to pick up other people's off-the-shelf. Cole is an example. He led the team to win the championship but was still sprayed by others;
On the contrary, if you stay and win the championship with the young Celtics, the recognition you get will be unprecedented.
Stevens nodded.
Angie is right about this point. He led a group of second- and third-tier players to the NCAA finals at Butler University, and he had the strongest sense of accomplishment.
Angie thought Stevens had been persuaded by him.
"But I don't want to pass up the opportunity to coach Jordan."
But Stevens' next words made him speechless for a moment.
Stevens even compared Tang Tian to Jordan! What else can he say!
In the final analysis, the biggest reason why Stevens is willing to go to the Pelicans is not the Pelicans themselves, but Tang Tian.
He and Tang Tian are like bosom friends, that's why he went to New Orleans.
The exchange between the two eventually broke up unhappy.
After the meeting between Angie and Stevens, the Celtics officially released the news immediately.
It probably means that the team is very satisfied with Stevens' coaching performance in the past two years and will meet all of Stevens' requirements.
This is also Angie's last trick, standing on the moral high ground and throwing the blame on Stevens.
Stevens didn't pay attention to this, he told Tang Tian that he would go to New Orleans in a few days, and then he started to pack his things and prepare to move.
When Tang Tian returned to New Orleans, Dempsey had already helped Stevens find a good house to live in.
The acquired D'Antoni flew, and he is really doing his best now.
And when Tang Tian was in Boston, the two sides kept talking on the phone, and even the contract had been negotiated.
Let Dempsey do the rest. Tang Tian will also be busy with his own affairs, taking Olsen to the hospital to identify the baby's gender.
It's definitely exciting for first-time dads.
In order to increase the accuracy of the child's gender, they decided to use B-ultrasound and blood test together.
After the blood was drawn, the two sat outside and waited.
"Are you nervous?"
Olsen looked at Tang Tian and said.
"No, both boys and girls, and we can ask for more later."
Even if Tang Tian was nervous, he wouldn't say it.
Olsen laughed immediately, and Tang Tian's nervousness was written all over his face.
But she still nodded, as long as Tang Tian likes it, it doesn't matter how many children she has.
The bleeding stopped, they ate something, and then went to take a B-ultrasound.
After the B-ultrasound is taken, there will be roughly a result.
This is a private hospital, and they are local celebrities, and the attitude of the doctors is very good.
After telling them how to judge the gender of the child, I finally told them the answer.
Olsen is pregnant with twin sons.
son!
twin!
Tang Tian couldn't help laughing when he heard the news.
Fuck Kobe!
How could Lao Tzu hit 0 for 4 like him, and I hit two in a row!
But the B-ultrasound may not be accurate. After they left the B-ultrasound room, they went to the laboratory to wait.
After a while, the report from the blood test came out.
Like the B-ultrasound, it is twin sons.
Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Olsen knew that he liked his son, so he was also happy with him.
Tang Tian took out his mobile phone and posted the photo of the blood test report to his personal Twitter, with the content "Tang and Olsen's family welcomed two boys".
And after posting this status, he was the first to hit Kobe.
All of a sudden, there was a stir on social media, and while everyone congratulated Tang Tian, they also didn't forget to tease Kobe.
Tang Tian looked up to Kobe, and was the number one loser like Kobe last season, but only in the matter of having a son, he directly crushed Kobe!
