Chapter 58: Focus on the Arena (Part 3)

The All-Star Game is an annual NBA event and a feast for fans, as well as a day for fans to see their favorite superstars play in teams.

The NBA All-Star lineup has been released before, and the starting lineup has already been announced.

On the side of the Eastern Army: "Big Shark" O'Neal, "Dragon King" Chris Bosh, "Flash" Wade, "Little Emperor" James, "Great General" Arenas.

On the Western side: Yao Ming, "Stone Buddha" Duncan, Nowitzki, Maddie, Kobe.

The east and west can be said to be full of stars, but compared to the shining starlight, Tang Tian is the focus of fans and media attention of this year's All-Star Game.

From the No. 1 assistant coach who was questioned by countless people at the beginning of the season to the current head coach of the All-Star Game, Tang Tian's changes are like the team he coaches, which has risen like a rocket.

And it's worth mentioning that he's only 22 years old this year!

This is the youngest All-Star Game head coach.

To paraphrase Barkley's joke on the TNT show: The youngest records of NBA players have been brushed by LeBron James, and the youngest record of this coach may also be taken over by Tang Tian.

Although there are still media questions about whether it is appropriate to let a 22-year-old coach coach coach an All-Star, more fans are already looking forward to it.

Before the game, a reporter caught Tang Tian.

"Hey, Coach Don, this is your first time coaching the All-Star Game, how do you feel?"

"It's cool, you know, to be able to coach Kobe Bryant, Duncan, Nowitzki, Maddy, Yao Ming, so many superstars at the same time, that's something a lot of coaches dream of a lifetime."

"Okay, the Eastern Force has won the competition in the past two years, are you confident that you will lead the Western Army to victory this year?"

"Of course, this is Las Vegas." Tang Tian said with a smile.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, Las Vegas belongs to the western city, and this All-Star Game is naturally the home of the western team.

"Last question, what tactics would you set for the team in order to win the game?"

"No, I think with the talent of the players, the West Army is enough to win the game."

Tang Tian's words were full of pretense, but the cheers of the fans of the Western Army were even worse after listening to them.

"Coach Tang, you can mobilize the atmosphere of the scene better than me." Barkley in the commentary seat said with his mouth wide open and laughing.

The scene burst into laughter.

Tang Tian also smiled.

In the previous life, this all-star, the coach was D'Antoni, because there was no run-in, let go of the players to play by themselves, and finally the Western troops won by more than 20 points, that was still in the case of Maddy's injury and Yao Ming's absence, now Yao Mai is healthy, and winning is naturally not a problem.

Shortly after the interview, the All-Star Game is about to kick off.

The lights on the scene dimmed, and the spotlight hit the stage where it was built.

A familiar melody sounded from the background.

This is the prelude to Tim. McGraw.

Swift, dressed in a long white dress, with small curls and a cello in his hand, walked out of the backstage.

The scene immediately resounded with excited cheers.

Swift's debut became popular, with fresh songs and sweet voices detonating the whole United States, and now appearing in the All-Star Game, how can fans not be excited.

As her slender fingers plucked on the strings, Swift began her singing.

Tim McGrow is the artist who has had the greatest influence on Swift, and this song "Tim. McGraw" was written by him, but it is not a confession or a celebration of McGrow, but an emotion: music can bring back many good memories, and I hope that when my sweetheart thinks of Tim McGraw, he can think of her favorite song that the two often listen to and dance together.

The fans were so immersed in the lighthearted and sweet song that they completely forgot that it was the scene of the All-Star Game.

Compared with the noisy opening music in the past, this unique and novel way gives people a very special feeling.

As the song enters the chorus, Swift suddenly puts down his violin and points to the right front.

The lighting engineer at the scene also seized this move for the first time and divided some lights.

The direction Swift pointed to was where Tang Tian was sitting.

A whistle rang out at the scene.

Tang Tianzheng listened intently, and was stunned when he saw Swift's move.

Swift looked at Tang Tian's position and continued to sing.

When you think of "Tim McGrow"

I hope you remember this one of my favorite songs

We danced with it all night

Moonlight is like a spotlight on a lake

When you think of your happiness

I want you to think of "little black clothes"

Remembering my head resting on your bosom

Remembering my old faded jeans

……

As the chorus unfolded, the whistles and cheers of the fans at the scene could not stop.

Although it is not a song that confesses to McGro, but this is a real emotion, Swift sings to Tang Tian like this, no one believes it if it is not a confession!

Tang Tian: This instantly became the absolute focus of the scene.

Tang Tian was stunned for a while and realized something, remembering the time when Swift secretly kissed him before, the 18-year-old Swift was in love.

Swift's song continued, and the voices that came from his heart seemed to be a slow outpouring.

At the end of the song, the cheers of the fans at the scene were deafening.

"Don, you're hiding deeply." At this moment, Thibodeau, who was on the side, laughed and said, it was he who suggested Tang Tian to chase Swift in the first place.

Tang Tian smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he didn't explain anything.

After the opening song is sung, the players enter.

Unlike ordinary games, the All-Star Game is an honor for every selected player, and naturally everyone has to introduce.

First the Eastern Army, then the Western Army.

The arrival of each star was greeted with cheers from the fans.

Although the Lakers have a poor record, Kobe Bryant set a shocking average of 35.4 points per game last year, plus 81 points per game, and is already the undisputed spokesperson of the league.

After the introduction of the players, the lights came on, the players began to warm up, and the staff began to withdraw from the stage.

When all this is done, the All-Star Game has officially kicked off.

At the beginning of the game, O'Neill jumped the ball for the East Force.

The players all had smiles on their faces from time to time, and for them it wasn't a game, it was just a show.

However, the strength of these people on the field of the eastern army is obviously weaker than that of the western army.

The two teams played more than half a quarter, and the West Army had a lead of as many as eight points at 22-14.

Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 8 points, and looking at this posture, he is aiming for this year's All-Star Game MVP.
