The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Davis nodded.

Now, as long as Tang Tian said it, he could listen to it.

Shortly after the announcement of the East and West All-Star bench lineups, the league immediately announced the list of individual events.

Rookie Challenge: Skip, don't count the words.

Shooting Star: Ditto.

Skills Challenge: Antetokounmpo, McAway, Oladipo, DeRozan; Trey Burke, Reggie Jackson, Lillard, Dragic.

Three-point shootout: Afflalo, Irving, Belinelli, Anthony Morrow, Curry, Lillard and Love.

Slam Dunk Contest: Paul George, Wall, Terrence Ross, Lillard, Harrison Barnes, Tang Tian!

After the list of individual competitions came out, the two names were very eye-catching.

One is Lillard. As a sophomore, he will participate in four events except the All-Star Game!

As a result, he became the player who participated in the most non-main game events in the history of the All-Star Game!

Another person is Tang Tian.

In addition to participating in the All-Star Game, as the fans expected, he will also participate in this year's All-Star Slam Dunk Contest!

Chapter 471 Low Body Rhythm Dribble (Walker) ([-]rd update!)

The appetite of the fans was lifted instantly.

After witnessing Tang Tian's over-the-frame dunk, they really looked forward to Tang Tian's performance in the dunk contest.

After Tang Tian confirmed that he was going to participate in the slam dunk contest, he also asked Davis and Holiday to help with training during training.

Although the slam dunk contest is a performance without confrontation, it still depends on creativity if you want to win the championship.

Tang Tian is a time traveler, so he naturally has a lot of creativity, so all he needs is to practice those movements proficiently.

You can't really win the slam dunk contest with a vertical jump dunk, can you?

At this time, the alliance issued a very important announcement.

Stern, who has served as the president of the league for 30 years, officially announced his retirement in February, and Adam Silver also officially took over Stern as the new president of the league.

However, apart from this already known established fact, some other words in the announcement are very different.

Mark Tatum will serve as the chief vice president of the league, and the league committee will exercise supervision over Xiao Hua in the next year.

This is equivalent to one more year of inspection period than expected.

Tang Tian was very happy when he saw this, at least Xiao Hua's so-called reforms will be delayed compared to history.

This is also giving him time.

Just after the time entered February, Tang Tian got the new year's endorsement fee from burts.bees.

The contract was signed before, and this year's endorsement fee was 200 million, and he got about 120 million US dollars.

After the krypton gold value was exchanged for the explosive pack (Maggette), he still had more than 80 krypton gold value left.

Added together, exactly 200 million.

This season has been played for more than three months, and his sudden pass ability is relatively comprehensive, but his weaknesses are almost exposed.

Because he doesn't have a solid enough ball handling ability, he can be targeted at times.

Including when you can only choose to pass the ball when you are double-teamed, and when you are playing against the Grizzlies, Allen's defense around him prevents him from receiving the ball.

Ball control is the basis for his dribbling to launch an offense, so it is also the skill he needs to redeem most now.

He pulled out the system interface and set his sights on the column of blue skills.

Blue has a lot of breakthrough skills, but not many ball control. After Tang Tian glanced at it, he finally fixed his gaze on the low-body rhythm dribble.

Low body tempo dribbling (Kemba Walker): Increase ball control stability by 15%, and increase the ball protection attribute by 2 points.

Walker's skills.

Speaking of which, Walker's style of play is far less gorgeous than Irving's, but he has a low center of gravity in possession of the ball and wins in stability.

And this skill also has 2 more ball protection attributes, so the probability of being intercepted will also be reduced.

He opened his property panel and looked at it.

When he was first drafted, his ball-handling attribute was only 40, but when he was still in the Spurs, he started training ball-handling.

The game, including the past two summers, has been his focus on ball handling.

Up to now, his ability has reached 66, exceeding the entry attribute requirements of NBA60.

Of course, this attribute value is basically similar to that of McGee and Jordan, and it is not enough for him to dribble the ball and get rid of the defense in official games.

At this time, the help of the system is needed.

Tang Tian chose krypton gold, the 200 million krypton gold value disappeared, and his attributes began to increase.

From 66, directly added to 80, this value has reached the upper level of the NBA.

And there are 2 more points added to the ball protection attribute.

This time, he has officially become an all-around striker who can attack with the ball by himself.

After the exchange, Tang Tian was quite excited.

From catching the ball to being able to dribble the offense by himself, this is a process of qualitative change.

In addition to the need to continue to enrich the offensive methods, the distance between him and Carter, McGrady, and even Kobe on the offensive end is already visible to the naked eye.

After the exchange, he greeted the little lion, and then ran downstairs for the half-time training.

left.

To the right.

forward.

backward.

A slow motion of the left hand and the right hand.

Rhythm change.

"Snapped!"

The ball flew straight away.

The little lion runs after the ball.

Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.

It seems like all the skills exchanged before, although his ability has improved, his body still needs time to adapt.

The little lion pushed the ball back with his head, and after stopping, he shook his head back and forth on the spot.

This guy is over 4 months old and is now half the size of a human being.

Looking at it, Tang Tian suddenly remembered one thing.

The agility of cats is the highest among all animals.

Take cats as an example, it is at least seven or eight times that of humans.

African lions are big cats, not as good as cats, but many times stronger than humans.

Olsen can train the lion cub to give him five high fives, can he also train the cub to practice dribbling with him?

This idea looks very good.

Because the little lion is still growing up, his agility has also increased a little bit.

This is tantamount to helping him break through the bottleneck a little bit.

Thinking of this, Tang Tian asked the little lion to train with him.

However, no matter how smart a lion is, it is not a human being. At the beginning, the little lion didn't understand and just jumped around.

Fortunately, Tang Tian is patient enough. If he can't practice in one day, he can take two days. If he can't practice in two days, he can take three days.

Anyway, Rome was not built in a day, he has plenty of time.

After more than ten days, although the little lion still failed to cooperate with him in training, he has already adapted to it.

He is already confident that he can attack off the dribble on his own in official games.

The All-Star Weekend is approaching, and the previous games of each team have ended one after another. The Pelicans only have one last away game against the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves were not the favorites in the Garnett era. After Garnett left, they were in a slump and never made the playoffs.

Even if they chose Love, even if they invited the famous Marshal Adelman.

This team located in Minneapolis, the northernmost city in the United States, just like its climate, makes fans feel cool.

But this year the Timberwolves are considered to be the best year in recent years.

They are now ranked tenth in the Western Conference and are expected to hit the playoffs.

The core of the team, Love, averaged 26.1 points, 14.1 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game before the All-Star break, and all statistics are at the peak of his career.

Kevin Martin, who returned to Adelman's hands, also averaged nearly 20 points per game.

They also really want to win this last game before the All-Star weekend.

The duel between Love and Davis is also exciting. You must know that Love, who is at the peak of his career, was squeezed out of the All-Star position by Davis, and he is somewhat unwilling in his heart.

The two are about to have a head-to-head dialogue.

Of course, apart from the two of them, Tang Tian's performance is also worth looking forward to.

After returning from injury, although the Pelicans had a good record and Tang Tian showed off a lot of dunks, his shooting percentage in several games was only in the early 40s.

Whether the Timberwolves can regain their status is also a highlight.

Chapter 472 Fight back, I can't get it out! (Fourth update!) (repair)

Minneapolis is the coldest month in February.

When the Pelicans got off the plane, even though they were prepared to wear down jackets, they all shivered unconsciously.

It's no wonder that few stars come to this place. It's really not that pleasant to feel cold down to the bone.

"Tang, will the feeling of your hands be frozen?"

Ci Shiping exhaled hot air and made fun of Tang Tian.

Ci Shiping has become close to him since they became friends because of the fight on the field.

"How is that possible? Although Minneapolis is cold, the Target Center is still air-conditioned."

Tang Tian's words made Ci Shiping laugh.

But Tang Tian didn't say the next sentence, fearing that Ci Shiping wouldn't get a laugh.

After all, not every arena has the same bad air conditioner as ATT Arena in San Antonio, does it?

At the Target Center that night, the attendance rate of the arena was only about [-]%.

Just [-]% of the fans, and [-]-[-]% came for Tang Tian.

The Timberwolves' football market is now as cold as the weather.

But what Tang Tian said was true, the target center was air-conditioned, and the fans who arrived at the scene were quite enthusiastic.

At least a lot of fans were cheering Tang Tian, ​​holding the Godfather's KT board in their hands.

Uh, it seems that the style of painting is not quite right, isn't this an away game?

But it doesn't matter, after all, there are many Chinese fans in every city.
