The invincible kryptonite of basketball

After the Christmas game, the Pelicans ushered in a rare three-day break.

Williams also knew that the team was playing the Christmas game, and the players were not able to accompany their families, so they gave the players two days off.

Tang Tian originally wanted to take Olsen out for a stroll, but Olson brought up the Chinatown incident.

She's ready to go to work.

Olsen wanted to start, and Tang Tian naturally fully supported it.

The store has already been decorated before, and they do it now.

As Olson had thought before, she wanted to make cakes.

Black Forest, Vienna Chocolate Almond, Cheese, Brownie, Tiramisu, Souffle...

Speaking of the past few years, because Tang Tian likes to eat cakes, Olsen's attainments and abilities in this area have already surpassed the average pastry chef.

These cakes are really easy to make.

After spending the whole morning, she has already made more than a dozen cakes.

At this time, the store was already crowded with people.

Tang Tian's support for Olsen was not only reflected in words, he really did everything he could.

"Olson's store opens today, and those who buy the cake on the first day will get the godfather's signature sneakers."

This is the second status he posted on his personal Twitter yesterday.

Tang Tian posted a new tweet, which was big news, plus he bought a cake and gave away signed sneakers.

None of the signature sneakers are officially on sale yet.

This idiot would not buy it!

So there are so many people outside the store now, not because it can attract so many people, but because the place is too small to stand so many people.

Olsen made cakes as a hobby, and Tang Tian didn't want her to suffer because of this.

Therefore, there is no reservation, and it is not the one with the highest price. There is only one way to buy it, and it is luck.

There is a big box at the door, which is full of lucky balls, and some of the balls have winning notes inside, and only those who are drawn have the chance to buy.

And the number of notes corresponds to the number of cakes made by Olson. If the lucky balls are drawn, the cakes for that day will also be sold out.

There were people at the scene maintaining order, one person at a time.

Not to mention winning the lottery, you have to get up early to be in the lottery.

It's a bit like hunger marketing.

It's just that the person who gets it can only buy it himself, and it cannot be transferred.

This is the biggest difference from hunger marketing, because it is not for making money.

People outside the store began to draw lots, and after being drawn, someone shouted to God and took pictures as souvenirs.

Some people even started the live broadcast to draw lots.

It took more than an hour, and all the lucky balls were drawn, and more than a dozen people who were drawn were happier than winning the lottery.

Under the envious eyes of others, these dozen or so people entered the store and selected the cakes to buy in order.

Tang Tian took a look at the dozen or so people. There was a bald Chinese man in a checkered shirt who looked like a programmer, and a kid fan wearing his jersey. The most conspicuous one was a woman in her 60s, dressed in luxurious clothes. Taste.

This is really what everyone has.

The little fan chose the brownie cake, and was very happy when he got the sneakers. He also took the prepared pen and begged Tang Tian to sign his jersey.

This man is small but clever.

Tang Tian fulfilled his request.

After Tang Tian finished signing, he jumped up and down with his sneakers and ran out.

It was probably the happiest day of his childhood.

The woman in her 60s was the last one. She had no choice but to take the cheesecake.

She felt normal when she got the cake, but she was very excited when she got the sneakers.

Just when Tang Tian was surprised that a person of this age was still a basketball fan, what happened next almost shocked him.

A young man in his 20s with makeup at the door saw the sneakers in her hand and kept blowing kisses to her.

After the two went out, they hugged each other and kissed passionately.

It seems that there are such things as being next to a rich woman everywhere.

On this day, Olsen's cake took social media by storm.

Those who bought the cakes all posted their harvested cakes on social media.

And they've all been well-received.

Originally, most of them went for sneakers, but the cake was unexpectedly delicious, so they had to share it.

Even the crew of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" reposted the news to create a wave of enthusiasm.

Olson is in a good mood, who doesn't want his work to be recognized by more people.

This is even more realistic than actually going out for two days.

The two-day rest day passed, and the Pelicans returned to the arena for training.

They will usher in a game against the Nets on the first day after Christmas.

The Nets sent Garnett and Pierce away during the offseason, and the overall strength declined significantly.

The Pelicans have just won their rival Rockets, and the team's morale is high. This is an opportunity for them to expand their winning streak and chase the Warriors.

Before the start of the game, the league officially announced a message.

The league will implement a new referee assessment mechanism in subsequent games, and will issue a "referee report" after each game ends.

The core content of this report is the referee's misjudgments and misjudgments in the game.

If a referee has no misjudgments or missed judgments all the time, he will soon be promoted to a higher-level competition whistleblowing group, such as major events such as playoffs, regional finals, and finals.

Otherwise, it will be demoted and downgraded.

The purpose of this approach is to improve the professional level of referees.

There was a lot of discussion about this news, and the Referee Association publicly expressed its doubts about this decision.

However, most of the fans supported this decision. In their opinion, this decision can greatly reduce wrong and missed judgments in the game.

The Pelicans held a public training session before the game, and some reporters also asked questions related to this new regulation when they asked Tang Tian.

"I am not optimistic about this. I think a better way is to allow the team to have a certain right to challenge the referee in the last 2 minutes, and can change those misjudgments and misjudgments that affect the result of the game on the spot."

Tang Tian had a different point of view from most of the fans, and he even raised the most core issues straight to the point.

This referee report also existed in history, but it proved to be useless, and even became a tool for the league to control referees in the end.

Because this report is after the game, it will not have the slightest impact on the result of the game.

On the contrary, if these referees want to obtain higher law enforcement powers, they cannot appear in this referee report.

Misjudgments and missed judgments are unavoidable in NBA-level games. Whether they will happen or not, in the end, it is not the people of the league who have the final say.

Chapter 6 Durant's season reimbursement (fourth update!)

Tang Tian's answer aroused heated discussions from the outside world.

Obviously, what he said is more targeted than the so-called "referee report" released by the league.

Many fans asked the league officials about this issue.

Because it is more effective to change the penalty during the game than to hold the referee accountable after the game.

And Tang Tian's words also said that it refers to the last 2 minutes.

There are 48 minutes in a basketball game, but in many fierce games, the winner is determined in the last 2 minutes.

If such a change can be made, the fairness of the game will be greatly improved.

Under the pressure of public opinion, Xiao Hua answered this question as a representative of the league.

"We'll try it in the G League, allow coaches to challenge referees, and we'll see if that works for the league."

This answer encouraged the fans.

While not imminent, it at least looks like a positive sign.

Tang Tian was also a little surprised when he saw the news, but he seemed to understand it.

Last season, Xiao Hua went his own way, which led to his bad image among fans.

He has learned a lot from a pitfall.

The next night, the Pelicans ushered in a game against the Nets.

It's also their first game of the new year.

Davis had a shootaround on the court before the game, and it didn't look like his return would be too far away.

The Pelicans and the Nets made a deal during the offseason. Before the game, Tang Tian also went to say hello to Anderson.

Although the Nets have a poor record, Anderson is in a good mood, averaging 18+ points per game, setting a new career high.

The tree moved the dead and the living, for Anderson, the summer deal was absolutely a good thing for him.

The Pelicans aim for a winning streak, but the Nets played much better than expected.

Anderson scored three-pointers in the opening game, and then Bojan Bogdanovic, who was on the bench, also scored consecutive three-pointers.

At halftime, the Nets led the Pelicans 50-44.

The turning point of the game happened in the second half. The Pelicans adjusted their tactics, and Tang Tian began to single-play Anderson with infinite dislocations.

You're a nice guy, but the NBA game is brutal.

The Pelicans also took advantage of the situation to overturn the score and finally won the game 106-91.

Anderson contributed the most 20 points for the Nets, and Bo Yang from the bench scored 6 points with 18 three-pointers.

For the Pelicans, Tang Tian contributed 22 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in a quasi-triple-double.

Although Christmas has passed, the starters of the Pelicans have become accustomed to giving way to Tang Tian, ​​and his rebounding data has increased significantly compared to before.

After the game, Tang Tian stayed in the arena to practice shooting.

Although he won the game, his touch tonight was not good. This kind of extra training after the game is a good way to adjust his shooting touch.

But at this moment, he found that he was not the only one left behind.

There are also team consultant Steve Nash and teenager Dinwiddie.

After passing on the training methods to the Pelicans during the offseason, Nash actually didn't come to the team very many times.

This is also the degree of freedom the team gave him.

He came to the team today, but he didn't expect to stay after the game to coach Dinwiddie's shooting.

This is relatively rare.

After Tang Tian practiced a few sets of shots, he saw that Nash was still guiding Dinwiddie patiently and walked over there.

He watched from the sidelines for a while, and soon noticed something special.

Nash is not only teaching Dinwiddie to shoot, but also teaching him passing skills and game experience on the court.

It didn't look like a shooting coach, it looked like a mentor.

Nash noticed that Tang Tian was looking at him, turned his head and smiled at him, told Dinwiddie a few words, and then walked to the sidelines.

"Your shooting is very stable. Occasional inaccuracies are normal, so don't worry too much about it."

Nash thought Tang Tian was waiting for him to talk about shooting, so he came over and said.

"I know."
