Chapter 607 Durant: You Definitely Did It on Purpose! (Third Update!)

Last year, although Tang Tian averaged a lot of points per game, the other All-Stars didn't think much of him.

After all, his efficiency is there, and the Pelicans' record is not impressive.

But this year, Tang Tian scored 50 points in three consecutive games before the All-Star Game, and the Pelicans ranked second in the Western Conference. The sense of recognition is completely different from last year.

Last year, because of the relationship with Curry and Westbrook, he got a lot of opportunities, but this year, his teammates are really willing to pass him the ball.

After more than 7 minutes into the first quarter, Tang Tian had already scored 12 points, the highest in the game.

The West also led the East by double digits, 22-12.

Judging from this posture, like the ticket king, he has a high probability of being the MVP of this year's All-Star Game.

At this point in time, both sides began to replace one after another, and Budenholzer replaced everyone except James.

Irving, Wade, Horford and Howard all appeared together.

Cole was more thorough over there, and went straight up and down.

Westbrook, Harden, Thompson, Bosh and Pau Gasol all made their appearances.

Owen came up and scored a three-pointer to stop the bleeding for the Eastern team.

But soon, Westbrook on the Western side went inside and scored two points to pay back.

Horford hit the iron in the middle distance, and Bosh protected the defensive rebound.

After Westbrook got the ball, he went straight to the backcourt and rushed to the frontcourt to score a dunk.

"Russell's desire to score was strong tonight."

Curry turned around and said.

Tang Tian nodded.

He and Harden are often compared by the media and fans, as are Curry and Westbrook.

Because the Thunder reached the Western Conference Finals in their peak season a few years ago, but unfortunately lost to the Spurs and failed to enter the Finals.

The fans originally expected the Thunder to go further, but no one expected that it would become a swan song, and the Thunder never stopped moving forward.

Then this season, Durant's reimbursement for the Thunder has a high probability of missing the playoffs, and the disappointment of the fans is getting stronger.

And it happened to coincide with the rise of the Warriors, and the momentum was even worse than that of the Thunder.

The comparison between Curry and Westbrook is also reasonable.

Many fans even said that Westbrook's playing is unreasonable, how horrible it would be if Curry and Durant were on the same team, and so on.

It's strange that Westbrook didn't hold back his energy to prove himself.

After the first quarter, the score was 44 to 38. Irving felt very hot, and the East recovered some points.

In the past few minutes of the West team, Westbrook was basically scoring. He also scored 8 points, second only to Tang Tian in scoring.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Cole went up and down again, and Paul, Davis and others who had not yet appeared on the court also came on the court one after another.

He seems to like this kind of substitution.

In addition, Budenholzer's substitutions were relatively conservative. Anthony and Butler both played this period, and the Eastern team gradually tied the score.

Cole was a little overwhelmed.

He began to replace the starters Curry and Tang Tian in advance.

On the field is a lineup of one big and four small, Curry, Westbrook, Tang Tian, ​​Bosh and Anthony Davis.

On the Eastern side, Teague, Butler, Anthony, Millsap and Horford.

The West team's offense, Curry went to the frontcourt and saw Teague was one step away from him, raising his hand two meters away from the three-point line and throwing it.

This ultra-long distance has almost become his label.

"Boom!"

But the basketball went out of the frame.

Horford grabbed the defensive rebound, the Eastern team counterattacked, and Anthony's layup was chased by Davis.

The West team counterattacked and counterattacked, and Curry made a three-pointer and then shot.

"Boom!"

He hit two irons in a row, which caused a burst of boos from the scene.

This season, Curry already has a lot of potential, and the three-pointers are like rain.

But it seems that he can't find himself in the All-Star game. Last year, his sliding button "stunned four" was also selected as one of the top five.

This year he couldn't find the outside line again.

The stage seemed toxic to him.

Teague assisted Horford in the frontcourt and scored a goal under the basket, which came from the tacit connection between the Eagles teammates.

The Eastern team has overtaken the score.

There were cheers everywhere.

Although there is no so-called home and away game in the All-Star Game, Madison Square Garden is the home of the Knicks, and the Knicks are the Eastern Conference team. Fans will naturally support the Eastern Conference team more.

Curry didn't even miss the shot. He gave the ball to Westbrook, who took the ball and rushed directly to the basket.

But Horford was very serious, and the defense at the basket became his shot.

Davis flew to grab the rebound and gave it to Tang Tian.

Butler rushed to defend immediately.

The Eastern team finally turned around, and now it's a bit of a real fight.

However, Tang Tian didn't make a strong attack. He directly passed the ball back to Westbrook under the basket.

After Horford successfully defended, he took care of Davis, who was defending himself, but Anthony didn't take it back. Westbrook was unguarded at the moment.

After Westbrook got the ball, he easily put it to the basket and scored.

The West team tied the score!

When Westbrook retreated, he smiled and pointed at Tang Tian, ​​indicating that it was an instant pass.

Tang Tian also responded with a smile.

In the East's offense, Anthony misplaced Bosh and missed the basket with a breakthrough layup.

After Davis took off the rebound, he waved it to Tang Tian.

On the Eastern team, Teague and Horford are teammates of the Eagles and have a tacit understanding, and the tacit understanding between the Pelicans' twin stars is even stronger.

Tang Tian accelerated forward.

At this time, a figure was faster than him.

Westbrook!

Westbrook's fast break speed is definitely the top in the league, and he is still rushing without the ball.

Tang Tian passed the midfield, Westbrook had already rushed to the three-point line in the frontcourt, and Teague was struggling to chase him.

After Tang Tian saw it, he threw the ball directly over the basket.

A lob!

Tang Tian really dared to pass, and Westbrook really dared to accept it!

He arrived outside the penalty area in the blink of an eye, jumped up, caught the ball passed by Tang Tian, ​​and pressed it to the basket through Teague.

Teague tried to hide but couldn't dodge in time.

"boom!"

"beep!"

Westbrook's physical fitness in the air was undoubtedly revealed. He smashed the ball into the basket through Teague and caused Teague's defensive foul.

A beautiful alley-oop 2+1!

There was an exclamation at the scene.

After the successful alley-oop, Westbrook was also very excited. After landing, he performed an impromptu dance on the spot, then turned around and gave Tang Tian a powerful high-five.

With Tang Tian's two consecutive assists, Westbrook scored 4 points in a row.

His score rose to 12 points, already tied with Tang Tian for the highest score in the game.

After Durant saw this scene, there was a heartbreaking sound.

Last year, Tang Tian and Westbrook only exchanged some words, and now the two have directly started!

And this year other players are passing the ball to Tang Tian, ​​but Tang Tian keeps feeding Westbrook.

This is not even the MVP, but also to win Westbrook!

on purpose!

Tang Tian definitely did it on purpose!
