Tang Tian was stunned for a moment, and walked over directly in a suit.

"You don't take it off?" Obama asked.

"No, you don't." Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.

"Don't make excuses if you lose." Obama said with a smile.

The other team members were also curious and gathered around at this time.

The battle between the president and the head coach is a good show.

Obama is left-handed, and his shooting hand is also left-handed, but his movements are very standard, and you can tell that he often played basketball when he was younger.

"Huh!"

Under the watchful eyes of the players, he hit his first free throw safely.

"Coach, you're too big." Obama said with a smile after hitting the shot.

Tang Tian also moved his wrist at this time and walked to the free throw line.

Although he is the head coach, he played in his previous life, and he usually trains with the players, and there is a gap between him and professional players, but he is also above average level on the field.

Standard shooting gestures, one tiptoe.

"Huh!"

It is also hollow into the network.

"President, I'm stronger than you think." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Obama was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

Two people, one by one, and one by one, the score also rises alternately.

Before I knew it, I threw the last ball, and the two men tied it 7-7.

At this time, whoever enters one more will be invincible.

Obama took a deep breath, then took aim and shot.

"Bang~" The ball slammed into the front of the basket, but still climbed in.

“yes！” Obama waved his arms happily.

The players on the sidelines also had regretful expressions.

"Coach, the pressure is all on your side now." Obama said with a smile as he stepped aside.

Tang Tian nodded with a smile, took a deep breath, and after aiming at the basket, he deliberately closed it.

"Bang!"

The ball also hit the front of the basket, but it bounced out of the frame.

8 to 7, Obama won the game in the end.

"President, it looks like this is your home turf." Tang Tian looked back and said with a smile.

Obama smiled very happily and stretched out his finger to point at Tang Tian.

They were all playing basketball, and he could see that Tang Tian finally gave in.

At this time, there were also the president's security personnel present, and Tang Tian's "let" made him feel more face-saving.

Obama put his suit back on and took the group to the press conference.

The reporters below have already gathered in a circle, and this is the last press conference held before the inauguration ceremony of OBAMA.

"I remember last year, it was also in this place, President Bush Jr. said that he wanted to be able to see the Rockets again, he didn't have a chance, and then he asked me, and then I stood here, yes, it was still the Rockets!"

Obama's opening immediately drew a burst of laughter from the team members behind him.

Tang Tian also laughed, obama said a pun, sure enough, the presidents are all powerful characters.

Obama gave some speeches as president, and Yao Ming, as a representative of Team Rockets, gave Obama a Team Rocket jersey.

The atmosphere of the whole conference was joyful.

"Finally, I wish the Rockets a third consecutive championship, and I look forward to another game against Coach Tang Tian, preferably a best-of-three system." At the end of the speech, Obama said with a smile.

The atmosphere is relaxed, even if it is a new player, there is not much tension on his face.

At the end of the press conference, when I went to the national restaurant for dinner, the players also chatted while eating, which was much more open than last year.

After the visit to the White House, the Rockets also turned around and threw themselves into the game against the Wizards.

The Wizards were weak, and the Rockets eventually won 113-89.

Yi Jianlian continued to play steadily, contributing 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks on 8-of-13 shooting.

It was also after this game that on January 16, US time, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of ballots.

Yao Ming, Maddy, Kobe, and Howard are still leading the way, but this is not the focus of fans.

In the first moment the results were announced, almost all eyes were on the Western Forwards' vote, and that didn't disappoint them.

Duncan continued to rank first with 903,301 votes, followed by Yi Jianlian! He had 803,245 votes, far ahead of Stoudemire (626,796) and Carmelo Anthony (602,321).

In other words, if the All-Star starts playing now, Yi Jianlian will be the starting power forward in the West.

And after two rounds of four rounds of voting, the lead is still so obvious, this may really come true in the end!

The discussion that had stopped suddenly reached its peak again.

"Let this stop! We really can't accept easy to be a starter! ”

"If this eventually comes true, it will definitely be the biggest shame in the NBA! We want to protest to the Union! ”

"I call on everyone to vote for Tim and Amare, this is the best way to stop this!"

……

This time there was a real sense of threat, and fans were really taking action, with the league's official Twitter account receiving more than 100 messages of protest.

Even when playing away games, they constantly booed Yi Jianlian.

However, Yi Jianlian's self-confidence is much stronger than before, and at Christmas, he also remembered what Tang Tian said to him.

The Buddhist mentality has allowed him to maintain a stable performance all the time.

At this time, Yao Ming was inconvenient for Chinese to speak, and Maddie, as another major core, couldn't stand it.

"Stop this pointless accusation, all fans have the right to vote within the rules allow, and if you want to restrict which part of the voting rights are restricted, it is a form of discrimination."

Maddie's voice raised the issue to another level.

This suddenly made some fans choose to shut up, and many more ignored it.

Although the United States attaches great importance to the issue of discrimination because of history, it is also sensitive to blacks, but it is different for yellow people.

Tang Tian is also very clear about this as a traverser, you must know that in his previous life, even in 2018, Reddick's "chink" remarks insulting China were only big and small in the end, and they were not over.

And as the protests intensified, so did the matter.

In the end, under pressure, the alliance officials finally responded.

Starting next season, voting in China will be restricted to ensure fairness for All-Stars.

The decision drew a chorus of cheers from American fans.

Tang Tian laughed unconsciously.

In my memory, Yi Jianlian, who was also an All-Star in his previous life, was in the Nets at the time, and ranked third among Eastern Forwards after four rounds, only 20 votes less than Garnett, who was second.

That is, after that time, the coalition then invalidated all the votes in China.

Now it looks like history is repeating itself.

However, unlike in previous lives, the coalition was under pressure to speak before the end of the year's vote.

In the next round of voting, there will definitely be a good show.
