Chapter 897 Back-to-Back 50+ in the All-Star Game!

Tang Tian played 8 minutes in the first quarter and took 9 shots, hitting 8 goals and scoring 17 points, the highest in the game.

Because Stevens was the head coach of the Western Conference last year, this year even though the Pelicans had the best record in the Western Conference before the All-Star break, this year's head coach is Cole.

Cole has been a little confused this season. He doesn't want to see the Pelicans or Tang Tian doing too well.

Although Tang Tian scored frequently, he only gave him normal rotation time.

If it were Stevens, Tang Tian would have scored over 20 or even 25 points if he played the full quarter.

The game lasted for more than 8 minutes, and the East and West teams were replaced by substitutes one after another, but the points on both sides continued to rise.

The biggest difference between superstars and ordinary All-Stars is that in high-intensity games, in such exhibition games, the gap is not that big.

After halftime, the score on the court was 90 to 84.

The two teams scored 174 points in the half, breaking last year's half-time scoring record.

The fans also enjoyed watching it.

The past few years have been the small ball era, and the intensity of many regular season games has almost become as intense as that of the All-Stars.

As a result, when it came to the All-Star Game, fans naturally didn't have much interest in watching it.

But now the penalty scale has changed, and the league has returned to the basketball style of the beginning of the century. Fans watching the regular season are nervous and excited, and their blood is pumping.

This kind of game is certainly enjoyable to watch, but it will make you tired if you watch it too much.

At the All-Star Game, relax your nerves and watch the scoring performances of the All-Stars. It turns out to be a new experience.

This is the effect of contrast.

In the second half, this situation did not change.

The two teams are still engaged in an offensive battle. Antetokounmpo and Tang Tian show off dunks, Curry and Irving compete for three-pointers, and James and Durant compete with each other's footsteps.

This scene lasted until the end.

Although the gap between the Super Giants and the All-Stars at this level is not that big, there is still a gap. The overall strength of the Western Conference is obviously stronger.

In the end, the Western team defeated the Eastern team 200 to 185 at "home court" and won the final victory of the All-Star Game.

The two teams' total score of 385 points and the score of 200 points in a single game all set new NBA All-Star Game records.

But compared to these, the scene in the second half of the fourth quarter is the biggest highlight of this year's All-Star Game.

With 3 minutes left in the game, Tang Tian hit a turnaround shot and scored his 49th point of the game.

If he scores another goal, he will break the 50-point scoring record he set just last year.

And breaking this record also means that he will achieve back-to-back 50+ points in the All-Star game!

Kobe Bryant's 4 consecutive games with 50+ points is unbelievable, but Tang Tian is now an All-Star with back-to-back 50+ points, leading to New Year's Eve!

The members of the Eastern Team naturally knew this. With no hope of victory, they didn't want to become a backdrop and began to double-team Tang Tian crazily on the court.

As a result, for more than a minute, Tang Tian was stunned and made no move.

But Tang Tian is Tang Tian after all. When he couldn't catch the ball, he switched to playing without the ball. He ran continuously and took the opportunity to successfully score the ball.

The Eastern Team doesn't want to become a backdrop, but whether it can do it or not is still up to Tang Tian.

In the end, Tang Tian also scored 53 points, which set a new All-Star Game single-game record, and successfully achieved back-to-back 50+ points in the All-Star Game!

There were three scoring records in one night. This All-Star Game was not intense, but it was quite exciting.

After the game, the fans at the scene had already started chanting MVP.

There were only three scoring records, but there were more than three tonight.

The players of the Western Team kept passing the ball to Tang Tian all night, and Tang Tian lived up to expectations and scored a record 53 points.

Although the AMVP has not been announced, it has to be him.

And if he wins this AMVP, he will achieve an unprecedented four consecutive championships!

As the season continues, Tang Tian accumulates more and more honors, and it is no longer out of reach for him to truly surpass Jordan.

After the on-site vote counting was completed, the staff handed the envelope containing the final results to Tatum.

The league's acting president made the announcement of a major award for the first time.

"The winner of the 2017 NBA All-Star Game MVP is Tang Tian!"

Without any suspense, Tang Tian successfully completed AMVP’s fourth consecutive victory!

“This is an unprecedented achievement and it is unlikely to be broken!”

O'Neal turned on his trumpet mode and exclaimed in the commentary box.

"No, he might break it himself."

Kenny Smith's timely addition made Barkley and O'Neal laugh.

Tang Tiancai is 24 years old. The honors he has achieved at this age are completely unmatched by others, including Jordan.

As long as he doesn't suffer a devastating injury like Rose's, no one knows what his ceiling will be.

Tang Tian took the AMVP trophy from Tatum's hand, and the cheers at the scene could not be stopped.

There is nothing more exciting than witnessing the core of the team lifting the trophy at home!

The award ceremony is over, and the 2017 NBA All-Star Game has come to an end.

However, what is different from previous years is that there are five full off-season days after this year's All-Star Game.

The purpose of the alliance is also obvious.

As the intensity of the game increases, the physical fatigue experienced by players will inevitably increase.

At this time, in order to prevent injuries, the best way is to give enough rest time.

Therefore, after some games are postponed, even players who participated in the All-Star Game can get sufficient rest after the game.

Such a humane change has made Tatum's voice among players much louder.

The players can have a good rest these days, but the general managers of the league's teams still have to be busy.

Because February 23rd is the trade deadline, which means it has arrived before the game starts after the All-Star break.

The trade deadline is the last chance for each team to make reinforcements. As in previous years, rumors are flying everywhere during this period.

There are also rumors circulating about the Pelicans, and the rumors focus on two people.

One is Deron Williams, who was squeezed out of the rotation at the beginning of the season, and the other is Stephenson, whose contract is about to expire but is in average condition.

The Pelicans' lineup is already good enough and has a high degree of chemistry, but minor repairs are still necessary.

After all, there is still one third of the season, including the subsequent playoffs, and the season is still very long.

And in the backcourt, Brogdon is very good, but after all, the rookie lacks experience, so it is necessary to add another immediate combat ability.

The target of their reinforcement is also very clear, Lou Williams of the Lakers.

Williams will be the boss of the rebuilding Lakers this season, but it is obvious that he is not in the Lakers' long-term plans.

Therefore, it is the Lakers' plan A to trade him for some draft picks in a valuable transaction.

The Pelicans also need Williams.

Brogdon is better without the ball than with the ball, Stephenson is in average condition, and the Pelicans need him to replace Dinwiddie's previous role.

This is also the reason why the Pelicans found Deron at the beginning of the season. Unfortunately, Deron failed to complete it, and now he can only replace this role.
