Chapter 1102: The New Format of the All-Star Draft (Fourth Update!) )
Tang Tian agreed.
Agreeing is straightforward.
In fact, he had this plan in the first place,
Although I won the last slam dunk contest, it wasn't much to watch, purely by bounce.
But that's by no means the charm of a dunk, so he still wants to do it again.
I was worried that the krypton value was not enough, so I didn't accept the invitation to the alliance.
But the explosion of co-branded sneakers solved his worries.
Tang Tian's wave of agreement immediately made the fans excited.
Although I usually talk about the pink turning black and the road turning black.
But one of the three essences of human beings is true fragrance, and the body is still very honest!
To be able to see Tang Tian fight the slam dunk contest again, what kind of bicycle do you need, absolutely excited!
The Pelicans came on a five-game winning streak after beating the Celtics in their final game of January, ending a 40-game winning streak.
The hope of 82 wins is gone, but 80 wins are still very promising.
It was also at this time that the league announced the final voting results for each individual event and the All-Star Game.
In the individual competition, the most eye-catching is naturally the slam dunk contest.
In addition to Tang Tian, LaVine and Gordon, there is also a contestant who is the hottest rookie of the season, Donovan Mitchell.
Although Mitchell is not a standard dunk, he has a strong style of play and a lot of actual dunks in the game, and it is worth looking forward to whether he can become a dark horse.
In terms of the three-point shootout, Curry did not participate this year, led by Thompson and Gordon.
It's worth mentioning that Brogdon of the Pelicans will also be participating.
And in addition to participating in the three-point game, Brogdon will also participate in the skills challenge and rookie competition.
Interestingly, he was up against a number of Pelicans veterans, Dinwiddie and Louis Williams.
This kind of duel is also quite interesting.
There is also the rookie game, in addition to Brogdon, the Pelicans' Siakam was also selected for his outstanding performance.
It's just that because the rookie game is now divided into the international team and the American team, the two will change from teammates to rivals in the rookie game.
Of course, compared with the individual competitions, this year's main competition is particularly interesting.
Xiao Hua has always been a reformer, before and after this comeback.
Including the plans for the future mentioned in his comeback speech, as well as the two-way contract that has begun to be implemented this season.
Then there's the overhaul of the All-Star Game.
This time, the voting is no longer all up to the fans, and the final result will be divided into three parts.
Fan votes account for 50 per cent, with fans and the media each accounting for the remaining 25 per cent.
Finally, the final starting lineup was selected based on the results of the three-way vote.
This is already a reform, but not all.
After the list of substitutes is released, the east and west will be divided into James and Tang Tian teams, and the teams will be divided by taking turns!
This also means that for the first time in history, the All-Stars of the East and West will have the opportunity to fight side by side!
Many of Xiao Hua's reforms have done more harm than good, but some of them are still very useful.
For example, this selection is very novel and interesting.
Even to a certain extent, it has also alleviated the big difference between the stars in the east and the west, making the game more suspenseful!
Of course, the choice will have to wait until a few days before the All-Star break, when the final list of voters and the selected bench players will be announced.
The starting five Tigers in the East, Irving, DeRozan (backcourt), Brother Alphabet, George, James (frontcourt).
The Cavaliers and Bucks each accounted for two starters.
The starting five Tigers in the West, Curry, Tang Tian (backcourt), Durant, Butler, Davis (frontcourt).
The Pelicans have three spots to themselves!
The remaining two spots were all grabbed by the Warriors.
The results of this vote are more real than the simple voting of fans before.
This is also very similar to the current pattern of the league.
The Cavaliers, Bucks, Pelicans, and Warriors are all among the top two teams in the East and West.
But the more tragic ones are Paul and Harden.
Because of the two bugs Tang Tian and Curry, no matter how well they play, it is difficult to enter the starting lineup.
In addition to the starting lineup, the alternate lineup for the east and west was also announced.
West side: Westbrook, Paul, Lillard, Harden, Klay Thompson, Aldridge, Embiid.
With 5 guards and 2 interior lines, the defenders in the West have to fight for popularity every year.
It's a bit of a pity that the Pelicans' Walker, the Mavericks' Holiday and Conley all performed well, but they all failed to make the selection because of the fierce competition for point guards.
East side: Wall, Lowry, Wade, Hayward, Horford, Drummond, Whiteside.
Compared with the west, the east is the opposite, completely short and strong.
Before you know it, it's February, and there is only half a month left before the All-Star break.
It was also at this time that the previous substitute list in the east and west had some unexpected changes due to injuries.
Wall will miss the All-Star Game due to a game injury (Achilles tendon rupture) and will be replaced by teammate Carmelo Anthony.
The same thing happened here in the West, where Paul won't play in the All-Star Game because of a leg injury recurrence.
After the final selection of the head coaches of the Western teams, Walker narrowly won the PK with Conley and Holiday by one vote and was successfully selected as an alternate.
Although the process is a bit tortuous, Walker will eventually play this year's All-Star Game with Tang Tian and them!
They also became the only team to play in the All-Star Game with four players this season.
For Tang Tian, Walker can play, double happiness and one happiness, this is the arrival of three happiness.
It is said that there are only three bad things, but there is no limit to the good things that follow one after another.
The fourth piece of good news followed.
Nike's dividends have arrived.
Because of the co-branded sneakers, Tang Tian thought that his dividends would be very explosive, but he never expected it to be so explosive.
In the past few years, his dividends have been rising, and last year was a peak, with 30 million before taxes.
But this year, this number goes up again, directly 42 million!
The brand effect of the godfather has been marketed by Nike to an extreme!
You must know that this is not an endorsement fee, but a sneaker dividend!
This number alone predicts that it is only a matter of time before The Godfather and Jordan break away and become a separate brand.
The commercial value of this brand is too high.
Tang Tian also flew up coolly.
With this wave of 42 million krypton gold value, he can get almost 25 million krypton gold value after tax!
Counting the remaining 21 million krypton gold value from the previous wave of exchanges, as well as the krypton gold value he received from his monthly salary this season.
He already has more than 50 million krypton gold value!
That's enough for him to redeem a red skill!
And this is different from the one in November, because it is close to the time to open the system, and he has a very clear goal this time!
