The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Kobe shook his head, but still raised his glass to drink with Tang Tian.

He wasn't bragging, he used to think that Tang Tian had a chance to get close to him, but now he felt that Tang Tian had a chance to go beyond himself to get close to Jordan.

On the last day of the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game officially kicked off at the Canadian Airline Center Gymnasium.

In the All-Star entrance ceremony before the opening game, Kobe made his final appearance, which attracted explosive cheers from the fans.

This was the last time they saw Kobe on this stage.

But even in Kobe's retirement season, Tang Tian was the last to appear. As the new All-Star vote leader, it would be inappropriate not to appear last.

The cheers at the scene also reached a new peak.

Tang Tian punched Pachulia before, causing him to suffer a lot of doubts, but from the results of the vote, it can be seen that in the face of his current super popularity, that is not a problem.

After all, Kobe's experience in the Eagle County incident did not prevent him from becoming the second shooting guard in history.

What Tang Tian did to protect his teammates was nothing. On the contrary, what he did made him have many die-hard fans.

After the warm-up, the starters from the East and West also played one after another.

Lowry, Wade, George, Anthony and James in the East.

On the west side, Curry, Tang Tian, ​​Kobe, Leonard and Durant.

James jumped and beat Durant, officially kicking off the All-Star Game.

As soon as George came up, he received a sudden three-pointer from Wade.

The Pacers have an average record this season, but George's personal state is very hot.

Curry dribbles up the court and gives the ball to Kobe.

In 2003, it was Jordan's last All-Star Game.

Everyone knows that Jordan only scored 20 points in that game, and Kobe's last three-pointer caused a foul and dragged the game into overtime, taking away the victory that the Eastern Conference should have had, and making Jordan's last dance not complete.

But it is estimated that not many remember that in that All-Star Game, Jordan got the most 27 shots in the game, which is the respect of other players for the god of basketball.

Now that Kobe is about to retire, Curry is doing the same thing.

But Kobe didn't seem to do what Jordan did. He passed the ball directly to Tang Tian.

He was a very paranoid person before, but Tang Tian changed him.

Just like what he said to Tang Tian yesterday, he felt that the future belonged to Tang Tian, ​​so he gave Tang Tian the opportunity.

Kobe didn't say anything, Tang Tian also knew what he was thinking, and he also knew that since Kobe chose to do this, he would not give Kobe face if he didn't accept it.

He caught the ball to face Wade, turned around and hit back after shaking.

It's the best way to receive Kobe's pass and score in Kobe's way.

Sure enough, Kobe laughed out loud when he saw it, and the fans cheered.

There may be no words or additional explanations, but this is a kind of inheritance, the inheritance of historical shooting guards.

Lowry missed a three-pointer from the outside, Leonard got a long rebound, and after a fast break with the ball, he turned around and saw Tang Tian who was about to come down, and directly passed the ball.

Tang Tian catches the ball and throws off Lowry to score with a one-handed dunk.

George received a pass from James to break through the dunk and returned the favor.

Looking back, after Curry broke through, he directly passed the ball to Tang Tian, ​​and Tang Tianfei jumped up and raised his arm to catch it with one hand.

As soon as the game started, Tang Tian scored 6 points with a sudden shot.

Curry's desire to score in the All-Star Game has never been strong. Kobe wants to pass the ball to Tang Tian. Leonard is Tang Tian's former younger brother.

The five starters in the West, except Durant, all wanted to pass the ball to Tang Tian. He took a lot of shots tonight.

Chapter 781 Breaking the scoring record in a single game of the All-Star Game (the first update!)

But this is also a reasonable thing.

Even ignoring Tang Tian and their relationship, there is an unwritten rule in the NBA that superstars who perform well will get more shots.

Durant is trying to find a shot, but unfortunately this is not the Thunder's season, and Kobe and Leonard rarely pass him.

And not to mention Kobe and Leonard in the starting lineup, Davis, Klay Thompson, and even Westbrook who came off the bench all passed the ball to Tang Tian.

The head coach of the Western team is Stevens.

He showed his selfishness openly and aboveboard, allowing Tang Tian to play the entire first quarter.

Tang Tian scored 8 shots in the first quarter, the most in the game.

He is also quite powerful, scoring 8 points in a single quarter on 6 of 13 shots, which is also the highest in the game.

This kind of performance made the fans on the sidelines excited.

In the history of the NBA, there are only two people who have been able to win the AMVP before.

One is Pettit, who won the honor for two consecutive years in 1958 and 1959.

The other one is Tang Tian, ​​who also won the AMVP award in 2014 and 2015.

But if Tang Tian wins this honor again this year, he will become the only one in the history of AMVP Sanlianzhuang.

And now this trend is very obvious, and the excitement of the fans is naturally understandable.

During the timeout between the first and second quarters, Durant pulled Harden and Westbrook to communicate constantly.

Westbrook turned to talk to Stevens again.

As a result, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder's former three juniors Westbrook, Harden and Durant appeared on the same stage.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene.

Last year, the Thunder's three young players were also selected as All-Stars together, but Cole was puzzled and did not arrange for them to appear at the same time.

This year Stevens has them covered.

The former three are on the same stage again, this is the first time Harden has been traded to the Rockets.

A very interesting thing also happened after the three came on the court. Both Durant and Harden were frequently passing the ball to Westbrook.

Tang Tian rested off the court. After seeing this scene on the court, he soon knew what they were doing.

Last year's All-Star Game, Tang Tian and Westbrook shared the AMVP.

If Westbrook can win again this year, he will become the third person in history to win the AMVP.

This is something that can and can be achieved.

Especially if the boss Durant proposes, Harden will definitely cooperate, and Westbrook will not object.

Durant was suppressed by Tang Tian for too long, and after the first quarter, he knew that he couldn't compete, so he directly changed to sabotage.

Anyway, Westbrook refused to accept Curry, grasping this point and letting him take it, it is better than Tang Tian being the No.1 of the three consecutive AMVPs.

Westbrook continued to attack the inside and his scoring continued to rise. When Stevens replaced him, his scoring also reached 12 points.

However, it turns out that this method is not good, because the Eastern team has already overtaken the score under the leadership of Irving during this period.

Scoring points is risky, even in the All-Star Game.

Stevens replaced Tang Tian, ​​Leonard, and Curry.

Tang Tian hit COSCO consecutively to help the western troops regain stability.

Compared with scoring stability, Tang Tian is much better than Westbrook now.

Westbrook's strongest weapon, the Turtle Breakthrough, is just one of Tang Tian's many arsenals.

Under the leadership of Tang Tian with 23 points in the half, the Western team ended the first half with an 81-71 lead over the Eastern team.

Facts have proved that Tang Tian's AMVP tonight is really not that easy to grab.

In the second half, under the leadership of George, the Eastern team launched a chase for points, and the rhythm of both sides played very fast.

Tang Tian's score also continued to rise, reaching 38 points by the end of the third quarter.

But the point difference between the two sides is very close, hovering between 6 and 8 points, and the outcome is still unknown.

The score was tight, and Stevens didn't play any feelings about the Thunder's three young players.

Although winning or losing the All-Star Game is irrelevant, no matter what the game is, the first priority of the head coach is to win the game.

Stevens is playing according to this standard.

Curry, Tang Tian, ​​Leonard, Durant and Davis are his last-minute lineup.

On the Western side, Blatter did not show weakness, and Irving, George, James, Anthony and Howard also faced each other.

George hit a large three-pointer and scored his 33rd point of the game, which also helped the Eastern team narrow the point difference to 6 points again.

Tang Tiansan threatened to trick George into hitting a three-pointer in return.

After the ball went in, his personal score has reached 41 points.

He kept shooting in the first three quarters, even though the confrontation intensity was not very high, but he also raised his touch.

Now when it's the decisive moment, he can vote.

George didn't make another three-pointer from the outside, and Davis protected the defensive rebound.

The western troops counterattacked, and when Tang Tian's chasing three-pointer went in and out, there was a commotion in the scene.

In NBA history, Wilt Chamberlain holds the all-star scoring record in a single game.

Zhang Dashuai scored a record 61 points in the 62 All-Star Game during the 1962-42 season.

Now Tang Tian is only one point away from this record.

This is why the ball just now brought such a big reaction.

But the fans' wait didn't last long.

Irving's layup slid out of the basket, and after Davis got another defensive rebound, the West team played a defensive counterattack.

Tang Tian received Curry's long pass in the frontcourt and directly dunked with both hands to score.

The ball set the entire arena on fire.

Tang Tian scored 43 points, officially surpassed Chamberlain, and became the owner of the single-game scoring record in NBA history!

And that's not the end.

Because the East team has been unwilling to give up, Tang Tian also scored consecutively.

Until 1 minute before the end, Tang Tian made a turnaround and hit back to increase his personal score to 50 points, and also helped the Western team widen the point difference to 11 points to seal the victory.

In the end, the Western team won the soaring score battle with 183 to 173 Lectra East team.

And Tang Tian made 27 of 20 shots and scored a record 50 points!

At the end of the game, the players on both sides were congratulating Tang Tian.

They are all witnesses to the birth of a new record.

Tang Tian also hugged Kobe affectionately at the end.

This was supposed to be Kobe's curtain call performance, but Kobe gave up this opportunity and made him.

After hugging, Tang Tian waved to the fans in Toronto.

"MVP! MVP!"

Although the final selection result has not yet come out, there is no suspense about the result, and the fans are already cheering for Tang Tian.

The wait didn't last too long. Shortly after the cheers fell, Xiao Hua announced the final ownership of the MVP of the 2016 All-Star Game.

Tang Tian had no suspense.

Tang Tian, ​​as always, thanked the fans and All-Star teammates.

When he held up the MVP trophy, the decibels of the scene reached a peak.

After Tang Tian won the MVP trophy, he also became the only player in NBA history to win the AMVP for three consecutive years!
