Chapter 200: Durant's Goal
The cheers of the fans at the scene couldn't stop, and after the defensive intensity on the field was raised, the tacit understanding between Tang Tian and Walker became the most shining point on the field.
The feel will fluctuate, and the state will fluctuate, but only the tacit understanding will not become!
The two played a thrilling season at UConn, and the tacit understanding established between them was by no means gone all at once.
Irving was in great shape, helping Barkley's team score frequently, but the cooperation between Walker and Tang Tian was more fluid.
In the end, O'Neal's team narrowly defeated Barkley 121-118 and won the first victory after this restructuring.
Irving hit six three-pointers and finished with 30 points and nine assists on 12-of-14 shooting, but he was up again as he did against UConn in the NCAA.
George had 20 points, Turner had 13 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists, Wall had 14 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, and Klay Thompson had limited opportunities, scoring only 8 points and 2 rebounds on 3-of-7 shooting.
On O'Neal's side, Walker also got a double-double of 18 points and 10 assists, and Tang Tian scored 24 points on 8-of-8 shooting from beyond the three-point line, and the two were the biggest contributors to the team's victory.
Tang Tian's 24 points are the highest scoring on O'Neal's side, and he also won the MVP of the rookie game in the 2011~2012 season.
This, in fact, Tang Tian didn't think about it at all before the game.
His current style of play is 3D, and it's a bit unbelievable for a 3D player to win the MVP.
But in fact, a large part of this is due to Walker, 6 of Walker's 10 assists are for him, and the tacit understanding between the two really breaks the convention.
After the rookie game, the first day of All-Star Weekend is over, and then there are some official activities, such as All-Star players interacting with fans, promotions, and so on.
Kobe, James, Rose, Durant, Howard...... The most popular All-Star players were all present at the event.
Because of the "bathwater" incident before the All-Star break, Durant was super popular at the scene, and there was an endless stream of reporters interviewing him.
However, knowing that Durant is very sensitive to "bathwater", reporters did not dare to mention that matter, and most of the content of the interview with him was related to tomorrow's three-point game.
"Kevin, this is your second time in the three-point contest, what is your goal this time?"
The question was asked by an experienced veteran reporter from ESPN.
"The goal? Champions, of course champions, that's why I'm in this competition. â
Durant was very direct.
"Do you have confidence this time?"
The reporter asked, he didn't dare to mention that Durant scored 6 points last year, but he still changed direction and asked.
"Of course, I'm ready to win this time, and I have a bet with Russell [Westbrook] that I'm going to win."
"You've got a lot of strong opponents this time, Ryan Anderson, Kevin Love, James Jones, Anthony Morrow...... And Tang Tian. â
The old reporter deliberately put Tang Tian at the end, and he took it gently, but Durant's face still changed suddenly.
He's really sensitive and doesn't hide his emotions very well.
"None of them are a problem, I'm just focused on myself and my opponent is myself."
Durant spoke.
"Don made 8 of 8 three-pointers in today's game."
At this time, another young reporter from FOX next to him spoke.
The old reporter hurriedly bumped into this hairy boy.
Although there is no problem with saying this, Durant is already unhappy and said to his face, this is a stupid and stunned to hit the muzzle.
Sure enough, Durant's face became ugly and he didn't answer anything.
The old reporter turned his brain, thinking about what other question to ask to continue the interview, when the young reporter spoke again.
"I just got the news that Don has signed a one-year, $1.2 million endorsement deal with the Burts.bees brand."
Lao Ji frowned, the signing that this hairy boy said had nothing to do with the interview, and this brand was not well-known at all.
However, to his surprise, Durant frowned after hearing it, and Durant seemed to know the brand.
He glanced at the young reporter again, and suddenly realized that this colleague was not really stupid, but had come prepared.
"And as far as I know, the brand has been in contact with your team before, but you didn't even give them a chance to negotiate."
The young reporter's next words made him affirm this, that this is the rhythm of making things happen.
"It's just a second-rate brand, who cares." After Durant finished speaking, he turned his head and walked away.
As soon as Durant left, the young reporter was suddenly met with a burst of eyes from other reporters.
But he was already happily holding the recorder and ready to go back to the news material.
Durant used the trumpet to scare Tang Tian before, and now a second-rate brand has linked them together again, which is definitely the favorite thing for fans to watch.
What he got was originally just some gossip, and Durant's reaction now is equivalent to giving him some verification.
Also reacting was the old man, who followed the young reporter and left, preparing to speed up the manuscript.
That night, ESPN preempted TNT with a news report:
The feud between Durant and the "godfather" spread from Twitter to the court, and this time the burts.bee brand became the biggest X-factor.
"What brand is burts.bees? I've never heard of it? â
"It seems to be a second-tier brand that focuses on skin care products, but this time they are promoting shower gel, so they have found a new global spokesperson."
"Well, that's not the point, the point is that the brand went to Durant behind closed doors, and then turned around and found the 'godfather'? (âīšâ)â
"Yes, it's so spiritual, I suddenly want to learn about this brand!"
"This is really the best news to warm up before the game, I just know that Durant came to the shame last year (friendly reminder: Durant scored the second-to-last 6 points in the three-point contest last year, one more than Michael Jordan)."
"What's the situation? Jordan participated in the three-point contest and scored less than 6 points? â
"Upstairs there are new fans, and I don't even know this! 5 points, one of Michael Jordan's countless records, is nothing more than the worst. â
"Considering that the three-point was not a conventional weapon in those days, I think this is somewhat acceptable."
"yes, but Durant is different, he's a historic shooter, he's shooting from three-point range, and he's scoring six points...... If it weren't for watching the game live, it was really unimaginable. â
"So in addition to the shame, this game seems to have a little more grudge, and there is also a commercial element in it, please tell me, is this really just a three-point contest, not a Hollywood blockbuster?"
"Yes, ( Ė Îĩ Ė*)"
