Chapter 1 NBA Suspension

The NBA lockout was still nowhere in sight, but thanks to the "Godfather," fans were having a pretty interesting summer.

And this time, Nike officially announced that the second installment would start directly in October, and that the "Godfather's" younger brother would also be making an appearance.

Fans already knew that Tang Tian was the "Godfather," and were now looking forward to who the guests would be in the second installment.

At the streetball court in Queens, the "Godfather" brothers' partnership became the object of fans' pursuit.

The "Godfather's" three-pointers and defense were still incredibly sharp, and his younger brother's various fancy dribbling moves ignited the court. The "Godfather" was still unstoppable.

And time after time, the "Godfather's" challengers came, and were even more famous than Reggie Jackson before him. This time, it was this year's fourth overall pick, Derrick Williams.

Derrick Williams had also signed with Nike, and anyone who thought about it carefully knew that this was Nike's arrangement, to get this fourth overall pick to act as a performer.

Williams came as promised, but he wasn't willing to just be an actor. After the game started, he went on the offensive with all his might, trying to unseat the "Godfather" brothers.

But after Tang Tian forced him into a turnover with his aggressive steals, he became the backdrop for the "Godfather" brothers.

Tang Tian's three-point shooting backdrop, and Irving's crossover nearly made him fall. In the end, Derrick Williams not only lost, but was also a bit of a mess.

This kind of confrontation kept the "Godfather's" popularity soaring, and became the hottest topic of the summer.

Each of Carl's videos almost broke 3 million views, and the number of comments remained high.

But with popularity comes controversy, and below these videos, many people began to appear with doubts and criticism.

"Professional players pretending to be amateur players to beat up on passersby? And even hiring rookies to be actors? A completely ridiculous program!"

"It's just that everyone is bored during the lockout season, it won't be popular for long."

"They even have the nerve to call him 'Godfather,' it's simply an insult to the Godfather."

…

Tang Tian would occasionally flip through these comments, but he didn't pay any attention to them at all.

The cost of spraying people online is very low. If he had to take care of every one of them, he probably wouldn't have time to train. As long as the majority of people supported him, these things wouldn't matter. Naturally, the administrators would take care of the banning.

In fact, these appropriate criticisms actually made the number of video comments continue to increase. This unintended consequence turned into a disguised hype.

The second installment of "Godfather" continued, and Tang Tian spent the rest of his time training with Walker and the others, in addition to filming.

The strength of each of them was increasing at a rate that could be seen with the naked eye.

Time flew by, and it was already mid-October. Seeing that the preseason was about to be canceled, negotiations between the labor and management sides became more and more frequent, but no new agreement had been reached, and the lockout continued.

On this day, after Tang Tian finished his daily training, he received a call from Olsen.

Counting it, the two of them hadn't been in contact for several months since they finished filming the commercial last time.

Olsen called to invite him to play tennis together.

He didn't expect Olsen to play tennis, but thinking about it, it seemed reasonable.

During the offseason, Tang Tian also created Instagram and Twitter accounts. He mainly followed Carl's videos on Instagram. As for Twitter, he also followed Olsen's account and discovered that this guy was actually a foodie. His favorite thing to do was to post pictures of delicious food.

This also seemed to explain why he could make so many kinds of delicious cakes. If he couldn't eat delicious food, he would naturally have to do it himself.

In theory, people gain weight from eating too much, but Olsen didn't, so the only reasonable explanation was that she ate a lot, but also exercised a lot.

Playing tennis was probably one of her ways of exercising.

There are several types of sports for rich people. Some only play golf, some run, climb mountains, or ride bicycles, and some play gliding, diving, or private planes. Tennis is actually a more alternative sport.

Constant training and streetball were also a bit torturous, and Olsen's invitation was just right for him to take a day off.

The location was Olsen's private manor in New York.

After taking a taxi to the manor, Tang Tian saw Olsen, wearing black slim-fitting sports pants and a tight top, which highlighted her figure.

But what surprised him a bit was that there was another person next to her.

"Tang, let me introduce you, this is Anjali Ranadivé, she just came over to talk to me about something."

"Ranadivé, this is Tang."

Olsen introduced the two to each other.

Tang Tian found the name a little familiar, but couldn't remember it all at once. The two shook hands as a greeting.

"I know you, 'Godfather,' I hope you have a chance to play in Oakland in the future," Ranadivé said with a smile.

Tang Tian took another look at her at this time, and found that her figure was comparable to Olsen's, and looking at her face, she looked a bit like she was of Indian descent.

But play in Oakland? Is this person the daughter of some boss?

He smiled and didn't answer.

"Elizabeth, I'll consider it, then I'll go first."

Ranadivé said hello, and a Maserati drove over in a short while. She got in the car and left.

"Is she from Oakland?" Tang Tian asked casually.

"No, her father is a minority owner of the Warriors, she's Indian," Olsen replied.

Sure enough, she was of Indian descent. An Indian minority owner. He suddenly remembered that the owner of the Kings in his previous life seemed to be of Indian descent. It seemed that she should be his daughter.

"Did you know her before?" Olsen asked with a puzzled look when she saw Tang Tian's reaction.

"No, I'm just curious, why would she come to you."

"She…"

The two walked inside as they talked.

It turned out that Olsen had been looking for a new movie to film, but without the resources of the Olsen twins, she hadn't received a new script yet. In this case, she could only ask the people around her for help.

Tang Tian felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. After all, he was the one who persuaded Olsen to come clean with her two sisters.

It seemed that if he had the chance in the future, he would have to find some suitable movies for her.

The manor was very large, but after entering, Tang Tian saw the short-haired American Shorthair cat they had rescued before. It had completely recovered, and when it saw Olsen, it came over quickly and rubbed its head against her calf.

"Don't think about those things, let's go play tennis," Olsen squatted down and stroked the American Shorthair, feeling much better. She stood up and said.

Tang Tian nodded, changed his clothes and followed Olsen onto the court.

Olsen played tennis very well, and you could tell that she had practiced a lot.

In comparison, Tang Tian might not even be considered entry-level. He was just relying on some of his reactions to barely play with Olsen.

After playing for a while, the two were drenched in sweat and sat down to rest on the sidelines.

"Tang, you're really amazing. You can't play tennis at all, but you can still catch the ball. Your dynamic vision must be very good," Olsen said with a smile.

Exercise can produce endorphins, which in turn make people happy. No wonder Olsen has always been so innocent.

"Dynamic vision?" But Tang Tian turned his head in confusion when he heard this.
