Twitter was buzzing soon after he sent out the tweet, his phone vibrating non-stop.

He glanced at it and saw that the Twitter notification setting was still on.

But just as he was about to turn it off, his phone was already buzzing like some kind of vibrating device.

It wouldn't stop!

When he turned off the notifications and checked, he found that Kobe, Vanessa, Scarlett, and Olsen had all retweeted his tweet.

He could understand Kobe, Vanessa, and Olsen retweeting him, but Scarlett?

Could it be that Scarlett still had feelings for him after he politely refused her last time?

He wondered what Durant would think after seeing this, whether he would shed tears and start logging into his alternate accounts...

But with these people retweeting, Kobe had 6 billion fans, Vanessa was also very popular in the American entertainment industry, and Scarlett and Olsen both had a large number of movie fans.

It was reasonable to have such high popularity.

The comments and likes rose like crazy, as if someone had used a data modifier, and soon it was trending.

And not long after, McGrady, Ginobili, and Yao Ming also retweeted it.

"..."

Tang Tian suddenly felt that his popularity was a little too good.

Looking at the most liked comments, he suddenly understood the original intention of these people's retweets.

"Kobe, the Black Mamba; Tang Tian, the Lion."

Black Mamba was Kobe's nickname, referring to his playing style and the source of his Mamba mentality.

Tang Tian posted a lion in his first tweet, and others didn't know about the little lion's existence, so they took the lion as his totem.

Not bad, it had a real meaning.

When he was with the Spurs, because the team was strong, no matter how well he performed, he wasn't seen as a standalone presence.

It was like looking at a huge cat from a distance.

But after leaving the Spurs, he had 30+ points in five consecutive games in the first season.

It was like getting closer and suddenly discovering that he wasn't a cat, but a lion with sharp teeth and claws!

And just like the picture he posted, it was a lion that was growing up.

A little lion already had such power, what would happen when it grew up!

After reading the comments, Tang Tian picked up the little lion and stroked the top of its head.

Growing up together was really an interesting thing.

In the next half month, Tang Tian began to follow a strict diet and training plan, ensuring that he gained weight while also gaining muscle.

Because of the weight gain, his feel in the game was inevitably affected, and his score dropped from 30+ to around 20 points.

The Pelicans' record also fluctuated.

But this kind of growing pain was necessary.

After more than half a month, Tang Tian's weight gain plan was almost complete.

And because of the skill assistance, he adapted to the weight faster than expected.

At this time, it was already the end of November, and his first month with the Pelicans had passed.

The Pelicans had a record of 8 wins and 8 losses, ninth in the West.

And he averaged 35.7 minutes, 24.1 points, 2.6 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.9 steals, and 2.1 blocks, with a 47% shooting percentage and a 42% three-point shooting percentage.

He was the team's highest scorer and stealer, and his three-point shooting percentage declined because he took more shots and the Pelicans didn't have as many open opportunities as the Spurs.

This was basically what he expected.

But this was obviously not his goal for this season.

In fact, after redeeming the Dynamite Pack, he was able to simultaneously break through, shoot, and pass.

Although it was only a combination of one purple and two blue, it was already considered half of an offensive kaleidoscope.

So, in addition to the goal of leading the Pelicans to the playoffs that he set at the beginning of the season, he also had a new goal, which was the scoring title!

Didn't everyone think he was just a 3D player? Then he would take a scoring title to show them.

On the first day of December, the Pelicans would be at home to face the Warriors.

The Warriors had a good roster on paper this season, but because of the integration and a series of other reasons, they currently had a record of 9 wins and 7 losses, only one more win than the Pelicans, ranking eighth in the West.

This game was very important for both sides.

In the locker room before the game, Williams finished deploying the tactics and pulled Holiday out of the locker room to talk.

"Jrue, you must learn to observe your teammates' movements while dribbling the ball. This is something a point guard must learn. You are not fighting alone. This is a team. If you pass the ball well, you will get more opportunities. Believe me, I'm doing this for your own good."

In addition to being humble, Williams was also very patient. Holiday's performance this season was not as expected, especially his passes were always half a beat late.

But Williams didn't give up on him, but patiently persuaded him, and he also considered the other party in his words, making it easy for him to accept.

After speaking, Holiday went into the locker room. When Williams was about to return to the coach's office, Tang Tian came out, apparently to find him.

"Coach, I think AD is more suitable to play power forward now. He is too weak to take on contact right now, and he will be easily injured if he continues to play center."

Tang Tian suggested to Williams.

In the past month of games, Davis averaged 14.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks, with a 52% shooting percentage.

The data had improved in all aspects compared to last season, but in reality, the data couldn't explain everything.

With Davis' current physique, he performed well against centers like Asik and Vucevic, but it was really difficult, even a struggle, to play against tough centers.

And this wasn't the main thing, the main thing was that Tang Tian knew that Davis was injury-prone, and it was very likely that he would get injured if he continued to play like this.

The Pelicans' interior was already weak, and if Davis was injured again, then it would really be a paper-thin interior.

Williams didn't speak after listening.

He had also considered what Tang Tian said.

But Anderson performed well last season, and his condition was also very good this season. It was inevitable that he would have ideas if he was suddenly put on the bench.

"If the team wants to make the playoffs or go further in the playoffs, defense is very important. Offense wins box office, defense wins championships, right?"

Tang Tian continued, he could guess what Williams was worried about.

Williams was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

He was a student of Nate McMillan, the former coach of the Portland Jail Blazers, who was known for his iron fist and defense.

Tang Tian's words were a reminder to him.

Anderson's defense was indeed a big damage to the team. Letting him score on the bench was indeed better than being targeted by opponents in the starting lineup.

And with Davis' current physique, he could still use his excellent help defense ability if he played power forward.

Seeing Williams nod, Tang Tian knew that things were settled, and then he went back to the locker room.

The Warriors' wingers were one of the strongest in the league, with starters Iguodala and Thompson, and substitute Barnes, all of whom had good defense.

This game was a good opportunity for him to test his abilities.

The same was true for the Pelicans. Taking this game and entering the top eight would be a very good start to December.
