Chapter 744 NBA Image Ambassador (First Update!)
Tang Tian and Davis were both selected for the second consecutive year, which is good news for the Pelicans.
But this year's All-Star Game Pelicans are not the only two of them.
Jokic and Dinwiddie both participated in the rookie challenge, and Bo Yang will also play in the three-point contest.
A group of five people, they can be regarded as a small half of the team dispatched this All-Star Weekend.
But as the record shows, this is their season, and this kind of participation is what they should have.
There are still more than ten days before the start of the All-Star Game. So many people are selected to be happy, but their focus is still on the current game.
In the next week or so, the Pelicans also showed their previous excellent competitive state and made great progress all the way.
Counting the game against the Cavaliers, they ushered in a new wave of 8 consecutive victories, and their record before the All-Star Game reached a terrifying 47 wins and 4 losses.
After 51 games and only lost 4 games, the Pelicans are really rushing to break the regular season record this season!
All the games before the All-Star Game are over, and the head coaches of the East and West for the All-Star Game are also determined.
Stevens became the head coach of the Western team in his first year in the West, while the Eastern team was Cavaliers head coach David Blatt.
However, compared with Stevens, although Blatter has become the head coach, his recent situation is not very good.
After the Cavaliers were defeated by the Pelicans, they only had a record of 4 wins and 3 losses in the past 7 games, and the Pelicans had a 50% winning rate.
Blatter encountered the biggest crisis of confidence in his coaching career in the Cavaliers, and many fans are already calling for get out of class.
This seems to have become an inevitable event for James' team.
And unlike during the Heat period, James did not stand up to speak for Blatter in front of outside public opinion.
The Cavaliers have a feeling that the rain is about to come.
But whether it's the Pelicans or the Cavaliers, the next thing is the All-Star Game, they can put these aside and enjoy this rare weekend.
The day before the All-Star Game, Tang Tian specially chartered a flight to Toronto because Olsen and his two sons were also going.
Of course, Jokic and the others also went smoothly.
With Bojan present, the atmosphere on the plane was also very good, and his two sons were amused and kept laughing.
The climate in Toronto is cold. After arriving, Olsen and his servant stayed in the hotel, and Tang Tian took Jokic and the others to his brother's party.
This year Butler didn't make the All-Star team and didn't participate in individual events. The rest of Irving, Thompson and Walker all came.
A bar, a box, a few cases of beer, a group of people.
The scale and routine of their gathering are completely comparable to those of the Four Heroes of the Wind and Dust.
Walker was in the best mood at the party. In addition to being selected as an All-Star for the first time in his career, he also revealed that his girlfriend was pregnant.
It's the waitress Jilly I met by accident at the party last year.
Walker hasn't been in a relationship for more than 20 years, but after falling in love, he can handle things much faster than someone.
"This kind of good news cannot be celebrated without a bottle of whiskey."
Bojan can really talk and is not stage-frightened. His words caused both Irving and Thompson to burst into laughter.
A well-spoken person is welcome everywhere.
Originally, Tang Tian brought Davis and Jokic to let them meet his brother, but now it seems that Bo Yang seized the opportunity first.
Jokic and Dinwiddie didn't drink much because of the game tomorrow, and everyone else ended up drunk.
After getting drunk, Owen dragged Tang Tian to complain about his life in Cleveland in the hallway.
From the team leader to the second child, you need to be ready to be sprayed by fans at any time.
Especially in the period before the All-Star Game, Blatt was precarious, and his pressure was unprecedented.
He failed to prove himself when leading the team as a rookie, and now he really wants to find a place to prove himself again.
Last year, Tang Tian had already listened to Owen's complaints, but this year it was just to a greater extent.
Tang Tian still persuaded Irving to adjust his mentality. Now Irving and the Cavaliers still have a full three-year contract. Playing well within the contract is a player's professional performance.
After a night of hangover, the All-Star Game kicked off the next day.
Last year, Tang Tian originally planned to participate in Shooting Star this year, but because he didn't have a krypton gold ultra-long three-pointer, he didn't participate this year.
And this year Xiao Hua reformed the All-Star again, and the shooting star was also cancelled. Bosh's three consecutive championships in this individual event became a swan song.
On the first day of the All-Star Weekend, the rookie game is the highlight, but this year's Masters game is also a bit interesting for Tang Tian.
For the first time in this year's Masters, there were Chinese people, and wyf was the first Chinese to appear on the field.
Tang Tian's understanding of wyf is only limited to skr, which is a big man in the rap industry who can compete with Ci Shiping.
However, compared with the future NBA ambassador cxk and the iconic chicken you are too beautiful, he doesn't have that much aversion to wyf.
Moreover, wyf's basketball level is relatively good among artists, and it is also a honor for the Chinese to participate in the Masters.
Wyf is indeed very sensible, seeing Tang Tian running over to take a group photo on his own initiative.
Tang Tian's current influence is not comparable to that of an artist of his level.
wyf started in his debut in the Masters, and finally scored 6 points and 7 rebounds. His performance was not bad.
The Masters Tournament is just a warm-up, and the highlight of the day is the Rookie Tournament.
This year, like last year, it is still divided into the international team and the US team.
Jokic is a Serbian, and Bojan is a Bosnian. The two were also teammates in the rookie game, and both started.
Bojan has been hot on the outside of the Pelicans this season. So far, he has averaged 47.5% of his three-pointers per game, which is the highest in his career and ranks second in the league, second only to Kyle Korver of the Hawks.
This year's rookie game was not very confrontational, and it became his special performance. He almost shot every shot from the outside.
After the whole game, he scored 9 three-pointers and scored 27 points.
But the most eye-catching performance in the audience was not him, but Jokic.
Jokic has grown rapidly in the Pelicans, and his strength is completely beyond the ranks of others.
He slammed the opposite Towns, and he blossomed both inside and outside. Not only did he score the highest in the team, he also got a triple-double of 30 points, 13 rebounds and 10 assists.
After helping the international team defeat the US team, he was also elected the MVP of this year's rookie game without any suspense.
"This stage can no longer accommodate him."
Brin said with a smile in the commentary booth.
The implication of this sentence is that Jokic will be able to enter the All-Star Game next year.
Jokic is only a rookie selected by the Pelicans in the last round of the first round. Now that he is playing like this, it can only be said that the Pelicans' vision was really vicious.
The first day of the game was over, and besides watching the game, Tang Tian took his wife and children to visit Toronto.
When he returned to the hotel after a day of playing, he received a call from Dempsey.
"What do you think of Lance Stephenson?"
Thank you for the rewards of people reaching middle age 2020, perseverance, stars, 1025 dragons 1025, and Xi_ren.
