Tang Tian broke Kobe's 81-point record, which affected not only him or the Pelicans, but also a major event for the NBA's global promotion.

This can be seen from the NBA's continuous messages and push them.

With this momentum, the Pelicans also won consecutive victories after the All-Star Game.

At this moment, the first round of All-Star votes was announced.

Tang Tian received 2 million votes in the first round of votes, more than twice as much as James, the second-placed one.

Tang Tian has averaged 37.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 11.6 assists, 2.1 steals and 1.5 blocks so far this season, with a shooting percentage of 51%, and a three-point shooting percentage of 41%.

Not to mention the Pelicans' performance and last season's performance, just in terms of data, Tang Tian has achieved an absolute peak performance.

And such an explosive and versatile performance is the first time in NBA history.

So such votes are completely reasonable.

On this day, the Pelicans happened to face the Jazz at home.

After the game, the teammates were all congratulating Tang Tian in the locker room.

The first round of voting exploded, and Tang Tian is likely to break the voting record again this year, and it is likely to raise this record to another level.

Tang Tian chatted with his teammates for a while, then got up and went to the bathroom to go to the toilet.

Before he could walk in, he heard someone talking inside.

"I have to talk to the coach, so I have no playing time, so I'm going to apply for a deal."

"Keep patience, train hard, there will be opportunities."

"I'm already patient enough, and Jeff, you only have a one-year contract. If you don't fight, you may be leaving the league next year."

"I believe the opportunity will come."

"Hey, you are so old and good. I decided that if the coach keeps like this, I will apply for a transaction publicly."

...

The communication did not last long. After Tang Tian listened for a while, the people inside came out.

It was Claude and Jeff Green.

"Tang."

Green saw Tang Tian’s expression more natural.

Claude was a little nervous.

Tang Tian smiled and said nothing, said hello and went into the bathroom.

The person who said he wanted to trade was Claude.

It is normal for him to think this way, and it is also normal for human beings.

In the Pelicans' summer trade, except Green, the second biggest reinforcement is Claude.

Claude started with the Celtics last season, averaging 12.9 points and 5.8 rebounds per game, with a bright future.

But after arriving at the Pelicans, he did not start and did not compete with Siakam and Kuzma as a substitute forward, and he did not even make a rotation.

This kind of gap is unacceptable to individuals.

You should know that the NBA is very cruel. There are no chances to play in a season. Those with contracts turn into junk contracts, while those with short contracts are likely to disappear from the NBA.

Tang Tian was not familiar with Claude, and even after Claude came to the team, he was taciturn, so he didn't know Claude.

But the words he heard just now reminded him of something.

When playing 2K, Claude was a very trading player.

The total rating is 80+, but the contract is long and the annual salary is only 6 million+, which is very cost-effective.

In theory, such players are very popular.

However, after playing, you will find that this is not the case.

If you trade him to play as a substitute, he complained that he didn't have enough playing time and asked to play as a starting player within a few days.

If you don't trade, others on the team will complain one after another.

It was simply a locker room bomb.

Therefore, experienced players basically abandoned the atypical cost-effective players such as Claude and Beasley.

Tang Tian didn't know about Claude before, but judging from his brief conversation with Green just now, the 2K game is quite real.

He heard it and did not do anything immediately.

Now we have to see how Stevens deals with Cloud.

Speaking of history, Stevens is Claude's head coach with the Celtics.

But he also has to look at this year's free agent market in advance.

The Pelicans' summer reinforcement is actually very limited, but they have a lot of chips to do so, including those trading exceptions.

Although it is just air, many team favorites are bad.

Time flies, and it is late January in a blink of an eye.

Claude's emotions were temporarily relieved by Stevens.

But judging from the emotions on and off the court, it only delayed the bomb explosion.

The third round of the All-Star Game was announced at this time, and Tang Tian's votes had soared to 5 million.

With one round of voting results, it is already a foregone conclusion that he has broken the voting record he had kept before.

At this moment, Tang Tian received an invitation from the league, hoping that he could play in this year's dunk contest and three-point competition.

Tang Tian declined the dunk contest, but agreed to the three-point contest.

The reason why he agreed was that Curry had agreed before, and on the other hand, he wanted to do something in the All-Star arena.

It's January 25th in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the NBA officially announced the starting list of the individual events and main competitions of the 2019 Boston All-Star Game.

Rookie Challenge: Pelicans Kuzma participates, others are not included.

Skill Challenge: No.

Slam Dunk Contest: Daniel Smith, John Collins, Miles Bridges, Hamidou Diallo.

Compared with last year, this year's dunk competition has no stars, and it is completely unfavorable to watch it.

Three-point contest: Tang Tian, ​​Curry, Russell, Joe Harris, Seth Curry, Danny Green, Hilder, Walker, Lillard, Nowitzki.

But it doesn't matter, this year's three-point competition has become the new focus event.

Needless to say, Tang Tian and Curry, in addition to this, the showdown between the Curry brothers is likely to retire Nowitzki after the end of the season.

These are all highlights.

And Tatm did make some good reforms as he said before.

The number of participants in the three-point competition this year reached 10, which is the highest in history.

In the starting lineup of the main competition, Tang Tian's final vote was 7 million votes, setting a new record in NBA history.

This voting result also raised the record by another level.

Previously, experts thought that the result could not be higher, but the facts proved that as long as Tang Tian was present, everything was possible.

In the West, except Tang Tian, ​​the remaining four starters are Harden, Durant, Leonard and James.

It is worth mentioning that this is the first time Harden broke through the double team between Curry and Tang Tian and became the starter.

He averaged 32 points per game this season, and he was both a father and a mother, and his performance was remarkable.

In the East, the five starting tigers are Walker, Irving, DeRozan, Antetokounmpo and Horford.

Compared with the west, the stars in the east are still bleak this year.

However, Tatum had previously announced that this year will be selected as a team this year.
Chapter completed!
