Chapter 482: Cake King Tang Tian (Second Update!) )
The NBL is China's secondary basketball league, and its status is equivalent to the NBDL on the American side.
However, unlike the NBDL, the team composition of the NBL is the same as that of the CBA, with 13 people and double foreign aids.
The level of foreign aid in the CBA is weaker than that of the NBA, let alone the NBL.
But this league has also produced a person who will make a name for himself in the NBA in the future.
Hassan Whiteside.
Whiteside played for the NBL Jiangsu Tongxi this season and successfully helped the team reach the NBL Finals that season.
Because the NBL playoffs ended in October last year, he is now playing in the Lebanese league.
The person Tang Tian thought of was him.
But that's what Demps came up with after trying to find fault in the trading market.
Historically, Whiteside really played next season.
Is it because Huai Cai didn't meet?
No, he went unwanted this season and was signed by the Grizzlies early next season.
The reason is that he has a problematic attitude, immaturity, low ball quotient are his labels, and he has even had fights with others in the development league before.
Tang Tian doesn't think that if the Pelicans give him a chance, Whiteside will instantly become the big white side of the future Heat, but this is also something that can't be helped.
It's better to try than not to change.
"We'll give him a tryout."
This is the reply given by Temples.
Whiteside is notoriously problematic in the eyes of the general managers of the teams, and he is not that good.
Demps gave this reply, which was regarded as giving Tang Tian face.
Tang Tian asked about the tryout time, it was after the All-Star Game, he told Demps that he would be on the scene, and then hung up.
Whiteside's kind of player, if you don't give him a little bit of intensity, he might be able to mess up the tryout.
The next day, the All-Star Game was played at the New Orleans Arena.
The attendance was overwhelming, and the fans were already looking forward to it sitting in the stands.
Before the official introduction of the players, there was a singing performance on the spot.
The scene was very mysterious, and a curtain was made to block the singer.
But by the time the prelude melody came out, the cheers of the scene could not be stopped at all.
《champion》!
"Hold your breath, the champion comes"
When the first lyrics came out, the curtain was blazing, and Ci Shiping's face appeared, the cheers on the scene were overwhelming.
NBA players sing on the All-Star Field, probably just Ci Shiping!
And this arrangement of the organizers is quite down-to-earth.
Tang Tian was waiting in the player tunnel with the other All-Stars at this time.
He didn't know that Ci Shiping could sing beforehand, and when he heard the melody and voice, he couldn't help but laugh.
Is this a declaration of victory for the Pelicans?
The song "Champion" ended, and the scene entered the introduction of the all-star players.
The substitutes were introduced one by one, followed by the starters from the east and west.
"No. 31, 2.03 meters small forward, Don ~~~ !!"
Tang Tian was the third-to-last appearance, ahead of James and Kobe.
When the host stretched out his tone, the cheers of the audience were already overwhelming.
By the time Tang Tian came out of the backstage and waved to the audience, the cheers had already toppled the roof of the stadium.
Tang Tian's current popularity, coupled with the home battle, this crazy scene is unique.
Durant played before Tang Tian, and when he saw this, he unconsciously clenched his fists.
James and Kobe Bryant were introduced to the court at the end, and the player introduction session ended, followed by the main game.
The Western team started on this side, Curry and Kobe Bryant on the outside, Tang Tian and Durant on the front, and Griffin on the center.
On the East side, Irving and Wade on the outside, George and James on the front, and Anthony on the center.
Durant and Anthony's jump ball.
Amid the cheers of the fans, Durant turned the ball back into the Western Conference half, and Kobe Bryant took the ball to kick off the All-Star Game.
As soon as Tang Tian fell into position, Kobe Bryant shouted at him at this time, and then gave the ball to him.
This is, apparently, not Popovich's arrangement.
No matter which coach it is, when it comes to the All-Star arena, he will not deliberately assign tactics to anyone.
This is Kobe's own will.
Although he is competitive and paranoid, he is not stingy, he is 37 years old, and he has won a lot of MVPs, and his pursuit of this is basically gone.
He came to the All-Star Game for fun, shooting a few baskets and passing a few balls so that his fans wouldn't be left unwatched, and that's basically what he thought.
So it's all passing, why not pass to whoever you want to pass?
Tang Tian's words, but the person who helped him recover Vanessa and helped him solve the Lakers' dilemma!
Tang Tian received the ball and faced George, a dry pull after a triple threat.
George makes a symbolic save on the defence
On the All-Star field, except for the final victory and defeat, the front will not really struggle to defend.
"Huh!"
Tang Tian's first shot hit steadily, taking the lead for the western troops.
The scene burst into cheers.
Tang Tian is now the league's scoring champion, and he should make more shots in the All-Star Game!
On the Eastern team's offense, Irving scored a layup past Curry after a series of forward changes.
was selected as an All-Star starter in the third grade, and if it weren't for Tang Tian's brilliance being too dazzling, Irving would be the most talked-about rookie in the league.
The western troops attacked the front court again, and Tang Tian leaned back against George and reached out to ask for the ball.
Playing at home, he also has to meet the wishes of the fans to play more.
But at this time, Durant on the other side was also reaching for the ball.
Curry hesitated, but still gave the ball to Tang Tian.
He was still counting on Tang Tian to let him enter the training camp in the summer!
Durant saw Curry pass the ball to Tang Tian, and his angry eyes straightened.
After receiving the ball, Tang Tian turned around to hit George, this time he faked a breakthrough after pulling out, and hit the confrontation with George under the basket.
George didn't use all his strength either.
Tang Tian scored the ball after the confrontation.
Hit all 2 shots in the opening game!
The cheers of the fans at the scene could not be stopped.
Tang Tian, this is the rhythm of going to MVP!
And they can also see that Kobe and Curry are willing to pass the ball to Tang Tian.
Because the All-Star Game is not highly matched, if you want to win the MVP, you must have the right to shoot.
So how did the right to sell come from? Of course it's the defenders, hey!
Because the ball is in the hands of the defenders, as long as they are willing to feed it, you can throw the ball in.
MVP?
Why not!
There was a mistake in the coordination of the Eastern team, and Bryant cut off the ball and threw it directly to Curry, who was on the fast break.
2 against 0 in the front court.
Curry went to the frontcourt and looked back, and saw that it was Tang Tian who followed up, and instead of going on himself, he smashed the ball on the rebound.
"Bang!"
The ball bounces off the rebound.
Tang Tian entered the free throw line at this time, saw Curry's move and jumped up, grabbed the board pass in the air, and smashed the ball directly to the basket with one hand.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound, a powerful and heavy clasp!
Curry and Tang Tian cooperate to dunk on the board!
The cheers of the fans at the scene burst into flames instantly.
Is this afraid that they didn't enjoy watching the slam dunk contest yesterday, and then showed off on the All-Star court?
