Chapter 929: 2017 NBA All-Star Game (Third Update!) )
Butler's thoughts made Tang Tian unconsciously remind him of the events of his previous life.
When Butler was with the Bulls, he had an unhappy falling out with Thibodeau and the Bulls management.
The main reason for that is dissatisfaction with the team's low position.
After that, he moved to the Timberwolves and had an unpleasant relationship with Towns and Wiggins.
Even when it came to the 76ers later, there were rumors of questioning the behavior of head coach Brown.
Speaking of which, these things are related to his character.
Because he played in the Bulls and looked so similar to Jordan, fans compared him to Jordan.
But his personality is more of Kobe's type, with a strong desire to win the game, and then he will do anything else in order to win.
In the Bulls, he wanted the team to be in the low post because he felt that he was already the best player on the team, and in the Timberwolves, he fell out with his teammates because his teammates played too well, and to the 76ers, he questioned Brown and Brown's tactics were not suitable for the team.
So this is character-determining behavior, and Butler is not bad in his bones, but he is more paranoid.
Butler's situation is different from Walker's, and Tang Tian still tries to appease.
With the Mavericks now strong and Carlisle a great coach, it's worth it for Butler to sacrifice some for a possible championship.
Tang Tian's words, Butler must have listened.
However, after thinking about it, he suddenly looked at Tang Tian and said whimsically: "Why don't I go to New Orleans to play with you!" ”
Butler's idea came out of nowhere.
The only one in this alliance who could make him willing to be his deputy was Tang Tian.
And Tang Tian said it well, but if the Mavericks want to win the championship, they must cross Tang Tian's pelican, which is very difficult.
Instead of being unhappy in Dallas, it is better to play directly with Tang Tian.
Isn't brother basketball beautiful?
"And Kemba's contract has just expired, and the three of us brothers ...... together"
Before Butler could finish speaking, Tang Tian shook his head.
Isn't this the Big Three 2.0?
Then they are no different from the original Heat Big Three.
There is also the culture of huddles that is not good for the alliance in the first place, and they don't need to help this.
Of course, the most important thing is that Butler has only been with the Mavericks for a short time, and he has at least two years left on his contract.
To be the first person to apply for a trade under contract is to carry the infamy, and he was George in his previous life, and now he doesn't want Butler to be that person.
Butler didn't say anything when he saw Tang Tian's attitude, he was just improvising.
"Jimmy, play well, this is your chance, your chance to be a supergiant."
Tang Tian finally said to Butler.
In basketball at the beginning of the century, Butler, a tough person who played hard, was the most popular and easiest to play well, and now Butler's performance also shows this.
The last day of All-Star Weekend is also the day the main game is underway.
This year's race is also attracting attention.
In addition to the suspense of whether Tang Tian can complete the four-time MVP of the All-Star Game, there is also Westbrook and Durant who are worth paying attention to.
This is since Durant's departure, the two have been competing on the same stage, and they are starting at the same time, and the reaction of the two is very worth looking forward to.
In fact, after the entrance ceremony, the scene was already cutting the shots for Westbrook and Durant.
Durant also occasionally looked in the direction of Westbrook, and Westbrook took Durant all for air.
He was chatting with Tang Tian hotly, and he didn't know what he was talking about with a smile.
Tang Tian's expression was a little strange at this time, in fact, he felt that what Westbrook said was not funny at all.
It feels like being a third party passively.
Fortunately, the game started soon, and the All-Star starters in the East and West were on the field one after another.
On the East side, Owen Gaved on the outside, James and Anthony on the front, and Brother Alphabet in the center.
Westbrook and Curry on the outside line, Don Tianjia Durant on the front line, and Davis on the center side.
When he appeared on the stage, Curry also greeted Tang Tian with a smile.
This time, thanks to the Pelicans' report to Tang Tian for the forward position, otherwise Curry would not have been able to enter the starting lineup, and the Western backcourt would be miserable.
Durant frowned slightly.
During the previous All-Star Game, Westbrook, as a teammate, was very close to Tang Tian.
Is Tang Tian a dollar? Stick them all up!
Antetokounmpo jumped to Davis to kick off the 2017 NBA All-Star Game.
Brother Alphabet took the lead, receiving James's pass at the beginning and bursting into the interior to score a violent dunk.
The defense on the side of the Western Army was relatively average.
However, this ball undoubtedly shows the talent of Brother Alphabet, excellent height, super long arm span, and speed that is completely inconsistent with his size.
This is simply an elongated version of the young James.
Looking back, Westbrook gave the ball to Tang Tian and took the initiative to block it.
Tang Tian took advantage of the block and dismantled a sudden step to hit the emergency stop jump shot and hit it with color.
After the opening, the defensive intensity in the east and west was not high.
After the referee's penalty scale was changed, the regular season became a playoff intensity, and the physical exertion of the players was very large.
When it comes to the All-Star game, they don't need to play that defensive intensity anymore.
James burst into a layup to score two points, and Tang Tian received Curry's pass and scored another goal.
Anthony received a pass from James and missed a three-point shot, Brother Alphabet made a dunk, and Tang Tian reciprocated by assisting Curry to hit a three-point shot.
The two teams were locked in a head-to-head battle from the start.
Only halfway through the first quarter, the score on the court was already 30-25, which is going to run for a rhythm of 200 points in a single game!
It was a hot game on the court, but Durant was a little embarrassed on the court because he spent most of his time doing switchback runs......
It can be seen from the pre-game actions that Westbrook is very unkind to Durant now, he has not passed the ball to Durant once since the opening, and even in order to retaliate against Durant, he has become a data maniac and does not make a move, just passing the ball to Tang Tian;
Davis needless to say, Tang Tian's Pippen, he knows the grievances between Tang Tian and Durant, where will pass the ball to Durant;
Curry didn't have many touches of the ball, and he also benefited from Tang Tiancai being the starter, so he and Tang Tian and Durant basically had half of the passes;
As for Tang Tian...... He passed the ball to Durant, and Durant was afraid that he would think that Tang Tian wanted to hit him with the ball......
Such a lineup can be said to be a strengthened version of the Pelicans, and it is unreasonable for Durant not to do a switchback run.
As a result, after the half of the game, half of the 30 points scored by the Western Army, and 15 points were Tang Tian.
Durant only took two shots and scored four points.
And, the situation continues!
Tang Tian got a record 4 million+ votes, plus the home battle, he can have a hunch that tonight will be another record night!
