Chapter 591 Chapter 617+ Chapter 8 Implementing the Mamba Spirit (Two in One)

At this moment, the alliance announced the results of the third round of voting.

Tang Tian beat James (970,000 votes) and Curry (950,000 votes) with 1.7 million votes to continue to be elected in the third round.

There are four rounds of All-Star voting, the fourth round is the last round, and it is generally the round with the largest increase.

Tang Tian's number of votes far surpassed that of the others, and he had already locked in the number one vote ahead of time, and basically broke the number of votes he won last year.

The Pelicans' next game is an away game against the Lakers, and they have arrived at the Staples Center a day earlier to start training.

Training is open to the public.

After training, Williams took Davis to decline media interviews and went directly to the locker room.

The reporters turned around and all flocked to Tang Tian's side.

Two recent big news, one is the trade rumors of Cousins ​​and Davis, and the other is Tang Tian's huge lead in the All-Star votes.

"I have to thank all the fans who voted. They are the best fans in the world. They are the motivation for me to play. I love them."

When Tang Tian was asked what he thought of the results of the vote, he expressed his gratitude and also praised his fans.

There is nothing wrong with this wave of bragging. He now has almost twice as many votes as James and Curry. This is a phenomenal thing.

"What do you think of Davis' recent performance?"

After asking about the game and the All-Star voting, the reporter naturally asked questions about Davis.

This is a relatively sensitive issue, and other reporters also looked at Tang Tian directly.

Tang Tian was not angry, nor even unhappy, but smiled instead.

"I'm not worried about him. His talent and strength are there, and he will adjust quickly."

Tang Tian's answer sounded a bit polite, but he said it so naturally, the reporter nodded unconsciously after hearing it.

"We know he's been involved in trade rumors lately, are you worried about that happening?"

The reporter then asked.

"From what I understand, we're not looking for a trade, we've got a great team right now, we're the second-best team in the West right now."

Tang Tian didn't comment too much on this, he just presented the most basic facts.

But this is the best response. The second team in the West is unlikely to take the initiative to try to make a deal.

The so-called trade rumors are just that the team management rejected a deal from Cousins ​​for Davis.

And they are not the Raptors in the history of the regular season and the playoffs. They reached the Western Conference semifinals last season as the sixth in the Western Conference.

Such a result is enough to make the management and fans full of confidence.

The next night, the game between the Pelicans and the Lakers officially kicked off at the Staples Center.

The on-site attendance rate was full.

The two most profitable teams in this league, the Knicks and the Lakers, no matter what the team's record is, there will never be fewer people watching the game.

Zhang Weiping and Yang Jian also came to the scene.

The Lakers signed Yi Jianlian during the offseason, and this game is also the first Chinese derby of the new season.

"I saw the motorcycle you gave to your teammates, that's cool."

Before the game, Kobe chatted with Tang Tian in the midfield.

"I also rode a Harley when I was shooting an advertisement for Adidas. It felt good, but the league has a ban on riding in private. You have to remind your teammates."

Kobe was afraid that Tang Tian was a young player and didn't understand this, so he came over to remind him.

"I know, I told them, it's just a collectible."

Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

If he doesn't say anything, someone like Whiteside who has no money to buy a car will probably use it as a means of transportation when he takes it back.

After a brief warm-up before the game, the scene entered the opening ceremony, and the starting players of both sides appeared one after another.

For the Pelicans, Holiday missed the game due to the flu, and Kerr replaced him as the starting point guard, partnering with Tang Tian in the backcourt.

Ariza and Davis on the front line, and Whiteside at the center are all regular starting lineups for the season.

On the Lakers side, Jeremy Lin and Kobe partnered in the backcourt, Shumpert and Yi Jianlian partnered forward, and center Tyson Chandler.

After Chandler came back, the Lakers' record has improved, and now they are working hard to hit the playoffs.

Amidst the cheers of the fans, Yi Jianlian jumped and beat Davis, giving the Lakers the opportunity to take the lead in attacking.

Kobe's frontcourt singles Ariza's turn and fallback.

"Boom!"

His first shot came out of the frame.

His statistics and shooting percentage this season have declined significantly compared to last season, after all, he is also close to 38 years old.

Although there is no devastating ankle injury like in history, the natural decline in state is inevitable.

Whiteside protected the defensive rebound.

Tang Tian held the ball in the frontcourt to greet Davis' pick-and-roll, and broke through the inside after breaking it.

Davis felt cold in the past games, and Yi Jianlian directly chose to double-team.

Tang Tian returned the ball to Davis at the free throw line, a good chance to score.

Davis aimed at the frame and shot.

"Boom!"

The trajectory of the ball was very positive, but unfortunately the force was a little too strong, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

Chandler protects the defensive rebound.

D'Antoni had a smile on his face when he saw this.

The Lakers have lost a lot of games that they shouldn't have lost. To return to the playoffs, it is necessary to defeat a team in the upper half of the Pelicans.

And being able to win is also a great boost to the morale of the team.

Davis still feels cold, which is a very positive sign for them to win.

The Lakers attacked in the frontcourt, and Kobe continued to ask for the ball to play with his back, and also turned around and leaned back in the same iconic way.

"Boom!"

Still strike.

But Chandler struggled to grab the offensive rebound at this time, and then gave it to Kobe.

Bryant leaned against Ariza, turned and leaned back towards the baseline.

The ball crossed Ariza's fingertips and crossed a high parabola.

"Shua!"

The basketball is hollow into the net.

Bryant's third shot finally went in.

Most people only know that the four Yanghua three irons, but in fact, there are many forms of Yanghe iron, and the three Yanghua two irons are also one of them.

The Lakers took the lead.

The Pelicans' offense, Tang Tian broke into the inside and continued to be double-teamed, this time it was Kobe who double-teamed.

Tang Tian gave the ball to Ariza who was open.

Yi Jianlian directly released Davis to pounce on Ariza.

Ariza passes the ball to Davis.

Davis's mid-range opportunity, he aimed at the frame and shot again.

The trajectory of this ball is very positive, and the strength is just right.

"boom!"

But after the ball went in, it bounced out again.

Chandler stuck Whiteside, and Yi Jianlian recovered the basket to protect the defensive rebound.

Davis failed to make two consecutive shots after the opening.

When the second goal was missed, Davis shook his head in visibly frustrated expression.

He has regained his confidence under Tang Tian's persuasion, but luck doesn't seem to be on his side.

"Hey! AD, keep your confidence, there will be no next goal if you don't shoot, Mamba spirit."

Tang Tian noticed the change in Davis' mood, and shouted at him when he retreated.

Davis only hit 2 irons!

Kobe Bryant is not always three irons and four irons.

This Mamba spirit can't just be said, it has to be implemented!

And after Davis regained his confidence, his hand feeling was obviously better than the previous game.

As for whether to make the shot, it is entirely a matter of luck.

It is normal to have one or two of these balls.

Davis is so cute, he doesn't look like an African.

Davis nodded after listening, he still trusts Tang Tian very much.

In the offense of the Lakers, Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian played together, and returned the ball to Yi Jianlian after a breakthrough.

Kerr's return to defense was a bit slow, and Yi Jianlian's three-pointer at the top of the arc was not too disturbed.

"Shua!"

The basketball hit the net.

Yi Jianlian's three-pointer, go in!

After following Tang Tian's suggestion and starting to switch to a space-based four position, his performance as a role player is getting better and better.

There were whistles at the scene.

The Lakers started 5-0!

Tang Tian continued to hold the ball in the front court and signaled his teammates to pull away.

The team got off to a bad start and needed him to step up and break the situation.

Shumpert is a high-quality defender. He is half a step away from Tang Tian, ​​and the distance is very good.

Tang Tian assumed a triple-threat pose, a fake move forward, and then directly pulled out from outside the three-point line.

This came very suddenly and decisively, and Shumpert was a little out of tune.

"Shua!"

The basketball goes through the heart and into the net.

Without too many fancy technical moves, the goal is completely unreasonable.

There was a commotion at the scene.

The Lakers got off to a good start, but Tang Tian immediately poured cold water on them.

When Tang Tian scored a goal, he glanced at Davis, his expression seemed to say: See, you can score if you shoot.

Kobe leaned against Ariza in the high position in the frontcourt and continued to ask for the ball.

"Boom!"

Ariza's defense is in place, Bryant's fourth shot ended in a strike.

The condition required for the transformation of three-yang ferric iron into four-yang ferric iron is high temperature, 1400 degrees Celsius.

How is the temperature? Friction generates heat, and the more collisions between the ball and the basket, the higher the temperature will naturally be.

Whiteside and Chandler fought at the basket, Whiteside poked the ball high, and Davis received the rebound with his long arm.

Tang Tian's words reminded him that he started from defense.

In the attack of the Pelicans, Tang Tian changed direction and broke through. After confronting Yi Jianlian in the penalty area, he scored the ball and caused Yi Jianlian's defensive foul.

Hit against the interference and penalty.

Tang Tian scored 6 points in a row in the opening game, helping the Pelicans to overtake the score.

For the Lakers' offense, Jeremy Lin broke into the basket and gave it to Shumpert, who missed the shot after breaking through the basket.

"The ball should be given to Kobe. Isn't it a blind play like this? You see Kobe has a one-on-one chance there."

The Lakers didn't score consecutively, and Zhang Weiping was a little anxious in the commentary booth.

The Pelicans' offense and Tang Tian's breakthrough attracted a three-man double-team. His consecutive scoring put a lot of pressure on the Lakers.

He passed the ball to Davis high up for another scoring opportunity.

Davis shot, and his shot speed this time was significantly faster than before.

Obviously, Tang Tian's words, coupled with the demonstration of consecutive hits, made his self-confidence completely return.

"Shua!"

The basketball is hollow into the net.

Davis' third shot finally went in!

After the goal, Davis reached out and clenched his fist, his face full of confidence.

This goal is very important to him.

Tang Tian pointed at Davis with a smile when retreating.

That's right, if you have a Mamba in your heart, you dare to shoot, and you will score goals if you dare to shoot.

Kobe continued to ask for the ball in the low post, and Jeremy Lin gave it in. After turning around continuously, he shook Ariza's back.

"Kobe made a shot, strike!"

In the sound of Zhang Weiping's commentary, Kobe's back shot again.

"Boom!"

The basketball bounced out of the hoop.

"Oh, I didn't score! Although I didn't score, the tactics of this ball were played out. The failure to make a shot is entirely a matter of feel."

Zhang Weiping's commentary was still the same, but he got to the point.

Bryant felt very bad tonight, he made 1 of 5 shots after the opening.

Looking back, Tang Tian suddenly gave the points to Davis.

Yi Jianlian had to throw himself out.

Davis flicked a shot, received the ball and dribbled it in to kill, and then pulled the ball directly with one hand after accelerating.

"Boom!"

A powerful one-handed split buckle.

His speed is top-notch among big men, coupled with his size, he really rushed up. Except for Chandler, who was stuck by Whiteside, no one on the Lakers dared to stop him.

This is the impact and change brought about by shooting goals.

The Lakers didn't dare to let him go anymore, and his own self-confidence was fully displayed.

10 to 5, the Pelicans had a bad start, but after adjustments they beat the Lakers 10 to 0.

In the offense of the Lakers, Jeremy Lin missed a throw after the breakthrough, and Chandler missed a tip-up.

Whiteside received another defensive rebound.

Tang Tian held the ball in the front court and directly signaled Davis to ask for the ball in the low post.

Davis has been in a slump for so many games, and this time he finally regained his form, so he should be allowed to play more.

The stats of a regular season are not that important to Tang Tian, ​​but they are very important to Davis now.

The Pelicans want to go further in the playoffs, and Davis is indispensable.

Davis hit Yi Jianlian in the low post.

Yi Jianlian's low-post defense has improved a lot, and Davis didn't get an easy shot.

He chose to make a shot after turning around, and Yi Jianlian made a save to interfere.

"Boom!"

Yi Jianlian put a lot of pressure on the ball. Davis's shot was a bit short, and the ball hit the right edge of the basket and popped out.

But in the next second, Davis threw off Yi Jianlian and went to the basket, directly grabbed the offensive rebound and dunked!

Yi Jianlian's defense has improved a lot, but the NBA is a league that emphasizes talent after all. Davis's second reaction speed has fully reflected his talent.

He made 3 of 6 shots in this quarter and has scored 6 points.

After the dunk, Davis turned around and found Tang Tian to give him a high five.

If Tang Tian hadn't encouraged him and even offered to feed him the ball, he wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

Kobe broke through the frontcourt and scored a goal to help the Lakers stabilize the situation on the court.

Looking back, Tang Tian suddenly gave the points to Davis.

Davis caught the ball at the three-point line this time.

He shot decisively after receiving the ball.

This is a real sense of playing, and it also shows confidence in shooting.

In this quarter, Davis took 6 shots in front of him, excluding 2 dunked balls, and made 1 of 4 shots for the remaining balls.

The feel is not too much, just the same as the four Yanghua three irons, but it is not good.

But he really implemented the Mamba Spirit under Tang Tian's teaching.

If you don’t shoot, there will never be another goal. If you shoot, maybe it will come!

The ball whirled through the air in a high parabola.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, Davis' three-pointer hit the net!

15 to 7!

The Pelicans took an 8-point lead!

This is also Davis' 9th point in the first quarter!

After implementing the Mamba spirit, Davis swept away his previous sluggish performance and ushered in a strong rebound!

ps: Seeing that some people keep mentioning the difficulty of scoring, I will focus on responding.

Last season, the protagonist was the scoring leader, so he shot hard regardless of the shooting percentage. The goal of this season is the MVP. Of course, if you want to win, you must focus on efficiency and win more. I have posted the first month of the protagonist's hits in the previous chapter. Rate 50%+.

Also, the protagonist was a role player before last season, and he was the scoring leader before this season. The defensive strength is definitely not at the same level.

As for the key shot, I can’t do anything about it. Write it in. You say the protagonist has a halo, and the lore is 100%. If you can’t write it in, you say the protagonist can’t do it. I will force it to increase the difficulty. Spin up and jump, and then time stops, does it stay between going and not going?

And the competitions I write are all about winning, isn't that all right?

Also, I have mentioned more than N times in my book that if the Pelicans want to go far in the playoffs, the protagonist can't do it alone, so Davis and the others have to play more.

There is only one ball, do you want Tang Tian to continue occupying all the balls, and then become the next waste teammate?

Thank you for your generous reward.
