This time, the appetite of the fans was instantly suspended.

After seeing Tang Tian's over-frame dunk, they really looked forward to Tang Tian's performance in the slam dunk contest.

And after Tang Tian confirmed that he was going to participate in the slam dunk contest, he also asked Davis and Holiday to help train together during training.

Although the slam dunk contest is a non-confrontational performance, if you want to win the championship, you still have to look creative.

Tang Tian is a traverser, and there will naturally be no shortage of creativity, so all he needs is to practice those movements proficiently.

You can't really have a vertical jump dunk to win the championship in the slam dunk contest, right?

It was at this time that the alliance made a very important announcement.

Stern, who has served as president of the league for 30 years, officially announced his retirement in February, and Adam Shaw officially succeeded Stern as the new president of the league.

However, in addition to this established fact, some other words in the announcement are very different.

Mark Tetum will serve as the league's chief vice president, and the alliance's committee will exercise oversight over Xiao Hua for the next year.

This is equivalent to an additional year of inspection period than expected.

Tang Tian was still very happy when he saw this, at least Xiao Hua's so-called reforms would be delayed compared to those in history.

It's also giving him time.

Just after the time entered February, Tang Tian got the endorsement fee for the new year from burts.bees.

The contract was signed before, and he received about $1.2 million for the $2 million cost in this year.

After exchanging the krypton gold value for the explosive bag (magetti), he still has more than 800,000 kryptonite value left.

Combined, exactly 2 million.

This season has been played for more than three months, and his ability to shoot and pass is relatively comprehensive, but his weaknesses are actually almost exposed.

Because he doesn't have enough consistency on the ball, he can sometimes be targeted.

Including the only option to pass when he was trapped, and the fact that Allen defended him around the front when playing the Grizzlies made him unable to receive the ball.

Possession of the ball is the basis for his own dribbling and attacking, so it is also the skill he needs to redeem the most now.

He pulled out the interface of the system and focused on the blue skill column.

Blue has a lot of breakthrough skills, but not much ball control, Tang Tian glanced at it, and finally fixed his eyes on the low-body rhythm dribble.

Low Tempo Dribble (Kemba Walker): Increases ball stability by 15% and increases ball protection stat by 2.

Walker's skills.

Speaking of which, Walker's style of play is far less flashy than Irving's, but his center of gravity on the ball is low and he is more stable.

And this skill also has 2 more ball protection attributes, so the probability of being stealed will also be reduced.

He opened his properties panel and looked at it.

At the beginning of the draft, he had only 40 ball possession, but he began training on the ball while still with the Spurs.

Ball-possession has been a key part of his workout, including the past two summers.

By now, his ability has reached 66, which exceeds the NBA 60 entry attribute requirement.

Of course, this attribute value is basically the same as McGee and Jordan Jr., and it is not enough for him to dribble the ball to get rid of the defense in an official game.

That's where the help of the system comes in.

Tang Tian chose krypton, the 2 million krypton gold value disappeared, and his attributes began to increase.

From 66, it has been directly increased to 80, which has reached the upper level of the NBA.

And the ball protection attribute has also been added by 2 points.

This time, he has officially become an all-round striker who can attack with the ball on his own.

After the exchange, Tang Tian was still quite excited.

From receiving the ball to attacking by yourself, to being able to dribble the attack by yourself, this is a qualitative process.

In addition to continuing to enrich offensive means, the distance between him and Carter, Maddy, and even Kobe Bryant on the offensive end is now visible to the naked eye.

After the exchange, he beckoned to the little lion, and then went downstairs for half a training session.

Left.

Rightward.

Forward.

Back.

Left hand, right hand, one slow motion.

Tempo shifts.

"Smack!"

The ball was dribbled.

The lion cub runs after the ball.

Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.

It seems that like all the skills he had redeemed before, although his ability has improved, his body still needs time to adapt.

The lion cub came back pushing the ball with his head, and after stopping, he shook his head back and forth in place.

This guy is over 4 months old and is now half a man's size.

Tang Tian looked at it and suddenly remembered something.

Felines are the most agile of any animal.

Cats, for example, are at least seven or eight times larger than humans.

African lions are big cats, and although they are not as good as cats, they are also many times stronger than people.

Olsen can train the lion cub to high-five him, can he also train the lion cub to practice dribbling with him?

That's a great idea.

Because the lion cub is still growing up, his agility is also increasing little by little.

This is tantamount to helping him break through the bottleneck little by little.

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Tian beckoned the little lion to train with him.

However, no matter how smart the lion is, it is not human, and at the beginning the little lion did not understand, and only jumped there with it.

Fortunately, Tang Tian is patient, and if he can't practice in one day, he will practice for two days, if he can't practice for two days, he will do it for three days, and if he can't do it for three days, he will take N days.

Anyway, Rome was not built in a day, he had time.

More than ten days have passed, and although the little lion still has not succeeded in cooperating with him in training, he has adapted to it.

He is already confident that he can dribble and attack on his own in official matches.

The All-Star weekend is approaching, the previous games of the teams have been over, and the Pelicans only have one last game left to play the Timberwolves on the road.

The Timberwolves were not the favorites to win the championship during the Garnett era, and Garnett has been slumped since his departure and has never made the playoffs.

Even if they chose Lefou, even if they brought in the famous coach Adelman.

The team, located in Minneapolis, the northernmost city in the United States, is as cool as its climate.

However, this year is the best year for the Timberwolves in years.

They are now 10th in the West and have a playoff shot on the horizon.

The core of the team, Lefou, averaged 26.1 points, 14.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game before the All-Star break, and all statistics were career highs.

Kevin Martin, who returned to Adelman, is also averaging nearly 20 points per game.

This is the final game before the All-Star weekend, and they really want to win it.

The showdown between Lefu and Davis is also exciting, you must know that Lefou, who was at the peak of his career, was squeezed out of the All-Star position by Davis, and he was somewhat unwilling in his heart.

The two are about to stage a head-to-head conversation.

Of course, in addition to the two of them, Tang Tian's performance is also worth looking forward to.

After returning from injury, although the Pelicans had a good record and Tang Tian also showed off a lot of dunks, his shooting rate in several games was only in the early 40%.

Whether he can find his form in the Timberwolves is also a big attraction.
