Durant blew up directly, and overturned Tang Tian with his hand.

The referee was next to him, and when he saw Tang Tian getting up and was about to start, a sliding step was directly inserted between the two.

Without waiting for the two sides to react, he directly threw his hand and gave Durant a technical foul.

Thanks to the referee's quick reaction, Tang Tian's outstretched hand was put down.

Durant was also stopped by Ibaka and Westbrook who rushed over.

"Oh, it's not a boxing match." Barkley couldn't help but say after seeing Durant's reaction.

Although Durant's strength is already the top two small forwards in the league, this sensitive personality is really too problematic.

At least he still has a long way to go in learning to control his temper on the field.

Durant was persuaded by his teammates to calm down, but the game was completely off track he wanted.

Under Tang Tian's full-court tight defense, he played a game to pay tribute to Kobe, shooting 10 of 31 from the field and making 4 turnovers.

For a scorer who has always been stable and college, Durant is completely deflated under Tang Tian this time.

Tang Tian became the absolute MVP of this game, he not only prevented Durant, but also handed over 20 points, 3 boards, 5 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

"The rampaged Durant has been guarded, and Don really has the potential to become the fifth perimeter player in league history to win the Defensive Player of the Year!"

"Yes, Durant's opening state is really incomprehensible, but Tang was stunned to defend a little bit, and for the first time, I found that the defense was so ornamental!"

"After this game, I've decided to vote for Don in the All-Star Game!"

……

After playing brilliantly against Harden, Kobe Bryant and Durant, the team's admiration for Tang Tian has reached a peak.

And this time, Durant was rarely silent on social media, and it can be seen that he was beaten a little autistic.

Two days after the Spurs-Thunder game, the league announced the final results of the fourth round of All-Star voting, the 2013 NBA All-Star round.

This year's All-Star voting was different from previous years, as in October of last year, the league's vice president Stu Jackson announced new voting rules.

Starting with the 2013 NBA All-Star vote, due to the approaching era of small ball and the scarcity of big men, the league decided to eliminate the center position and replace it with two backcourts and three frontcourts.

This decision could allow more forwards to be named All-Stars.

Kobe Bryant was the most popular with 1.59 million votes, just over 7,000 votes more than James, and was elected the 2013 NBA All-Star voting champion.

The results of the votes for the other players in the East and West were also finalized.

In the Eastern backcourt, Wade (1 million) and Rondo (900,000) became the starting backcourt in the East by a huge advantage of nearly 500,000 votes over other guards.

In the frontcourt, James (1.58 million) and Anthony (1.46 million) are still popular.

Garnett (550,000) was selected as the starter by a narrow margin of 30,000 votes over Bosh.

The results of the eastern election were basically expected, but on the western side, everyone was surprised.

The NBA, once again, felt the terrifying power from the fans of the East.

Since Yi Jianlian was almost elected as the starting point in the East in '09, the NBA has begun to dilute the votes in China.

However, the voting channel still exists, but it needs to involve a series of operations such as circumventing the wall and registering, which will be more difficult than in the past.

But the results of this year's poll.

In the Western frontcourt, Durant (1.5 million), Howard (920,000), and Griffin (860,000) were successfully selected as starters.

These three people are at the peak of popularity and strength, and there is nothing surprising about such a voting result.

But in the backcourt, it really stunned everyone.

Kobe Bryant (1.58 million) is the vote king, but the second-ranked guard is Tang Tian!

He got 1 million votes!

This vote is second only to Kobe, James, Durant and Anthony!

80,000 more votes than Paul (920,000)!

And not only Tang Tian, Jeremy Lin also crushed his teammate Harden (480,000) with a total of 880,000 votes, ranking fourth among Western defenders!

Tang Tian got nearly 500,000 votes in the last round of voting, completed an incredible reversal, and became the starting guard in the west!

When this result came out, the fans on social media blew up again.

"Paul: Why the hell, it's always me who gets hurt every time?!"

"Haha, no way, the fans over there in China are really crazy, can you imagine Jeremy Lin having 400,000 more votes than Harden?"

"Aren't we already restricting votes in China? How could there be such an unreasonable result? ”

"Man, did you know that there are 1.3 billion people in China? We only have 300 million ......."

"Yes, and the result of this vote is only more than 1.5 million at most, and the number of fans in China is really much more than you think."

"There's really a big hole in this voting mechanism, and Don shouldn't be an All-Star starter."

"Brother, I agree with the first half of your sentence, but I don't agree with the second half of the sentence, you go and look at Don's statistics this season, averaging 17.6 points, 3.8 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, do you think he shouldn't be selected?"

"And he just beat Harden, Kobe Bryant and Durant, and although there are some elements of the Chinese fans in this vote, he has no problem getting elected."

"That's it, and 10,000 steps back, that's within the rules, the NBA is very popular in China, and they have the right to pick the stars they want to see."

"Just like Yao at the beginning, Don has improved a lot this season, and I think there is nothing wrong with helping the Spurs win the championship last season."

……

There are doubts on social media, and there are supports.

But no matter what, Tang Tian became the All-Star starter this season without him expecting it.

This is where things get more complicated.

You're going to say that an All-Star isn't worth a poison contract?

And the All-Star is also likely to be the best defensive player.

The results of the All-Star voting were released, which brought shock to the league and fans, but also some subtle changes for Tang Tian.

On that day, after his third season meeting with the Pelicans (the Hornets officially changed their name to the Pelicans in January), a local media reporter in New Olson asked him a question.

"Would you play for the Pelicans if you had the opportunity in the future?"

It was the first time he had heard the question, but he was somewhat prepared in his heart.

He's been a well-known thing in his contract year, and as he gets an All-Star and the season progresses, those questions will grow.

This journalist was the first to ask such a question, but certainly not the last.

"I have a lot of affection for this city, just like I have for other cities, every place is something to love, but what you're talking about isn't what I'm thinking about right now, I just want to help the Spurs defend their championship this season."

Tang Tian opened his mouth and said.
