Chapter 603 Chapter 634+ Chapter Five Walker's Lucky Love (Two in One)
After the game between the Spurs and the Pelicans, other games also ended one after another.
This game day is over, and there are still 2 days before the All-Star Game, and the game has entered an off-season day.
This year's All-Star Game has some differences compared with previous ones. It will be jointly hosted by Madison Square Garden and Barclays Center.
The race will be held at Madison Square Garden, while the individual events will be played at the Barclays Center.
Not long ago, the league also announced the All-Star substitute list and the entry list for individual competitions.
The players selected as substitutes in the East: Irving, Wade, Rose, Howard, Teague, Horford, Millsap;
West bench list: Harden, Westbrook, Klay Thompson, Paul, Anthony Davis, Bosh, Pau Gasol.
As in previous years, the east is still short and the generals are selected, while the west is extremely crowded, with leftover pearls everywhere.
Aldridge, Cousins, Lillard, Duncan and others lost one after another.
The pattern of strong west and weak east is still quite obvious.
For individual events, the slam dunk contest is still dominated by rookies this year, with Plumlee, Antetokounmpo, Oladipo and LaVine competing.
In the three-point contest, the Splash Brothers all played together, plus Matthews, Korver, Morrow, Redick, Lillard and other sharpshooters. The competition was fierce.
But the single event that attracted the most attention tonight was not these, but the skill challenge.
Speaking of which, this single event is very interesting.
Originally, the league planned to invite some young players to participate, but there was a Pelican fan in the organizing committee, so he tried to invite Tang Tian.
Tang Tian went to participate in the main competition, and he would go for three days, and it would be boring to stay there, so he agreed.
The man didn't expect Tang Tianzhen to agree, so he tried to contact Irving, Harden, Curry and others who were going to participate in the race.
And when he invited, he specifically said that Tang Tian agreed, and after a round, the list of this year's Skills Challenge was unprecedentedly luxurious.
Tang Tian, Irving, Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Walker, Wall, Lillard.
This lineup is absolutely star-studded.
This is also the most anticipated individual event of this All-Star Game.
On February 13, Tang Tian flew to New York with Davis and Jokic.
Due to his outstanding performance, Jokic was also invited to participate in this year's rookie game.
When they arrived in New York, the three of them separated. Tang Tian was going to participate in Nike's All-Star promotional event, and as the protagonist of the event, he definitely couldn't be absent.
After the event, he dragged his hard-working brothers to a party at the bar.
After the summer training, they rarely see each other except for games in a season, and the All-Star Gathering has become their tradition.
Thompson talked significantly more than last year, and invited others to smoke cigars.
Owen also talked and laughed, but when he didn't speak, he was in a daze, as if he was worried.
Walker is the least talkative this year, and his expression looks bitter and bitter.
Butler and Tang Tian didn't change much from last year.
Different states also show their circumstances.
The Warriors ranked first in the league, and Thompson was finally proud, and was selected to the All-Star for the first time in his career.
James' entry has increased fans' doubts about Irving, and he is a person who is more evaluated in the unexpected world, so he will naturally have more ideas.
The worst thing is Walker. The Bobcats returned to the playoffs last season, but Joe boss did not strengthen in the summer, let go of Mike Roberts, who performed well last season.
As a result, the team's record declined this season, and now it is difficult to make it to the playoffs, and he missed the All-Star Game again.
The Bulls' record has not fluctuated much, and Butler's progress is also within his own expectations.
As for Tang Tian, his mentality was relatively peaceful, and it had been like this for the past few years.
"Kemba, I'm an All-Star who wants to use the dance you taught me, so don't charge me copyright fees."
Seeing that Walker was sullen, Tang Tian spoke to him.
"What dance?"
Walker just nodded, but Thompson on the side was full of curiosity.
"You'll know it when you get to the All-Star game."
Tang Tian made a fool of himself.
Several people then chatted about tomorrow's skills competition.
The most important thing in the skills competition is the last three points, Tang Tian is very hopeful.
"Don, you have to win that guy Stephen."
Thompson showed his plastic friendship with Curry in front of Tang Tian.
Tang Tian smiled.
He is now a super giant. It doesn't matter whether he wins or loses in this kind of game, the main thing is to have fun.
After drinking, they went out from the box and talked about some interesting things about themselves.
"Wow~"
"Where did your eyes go! Can't you see me coming out?"
They were chatting when suddenly there was the sound of glass breaking in front of them, followed by a burst of shouting and cursing.
Tang Tian looked up, and then found that it was a female black waiter, who should have knocked over with the person who came out of the box, the cup on the tray was broken, the drink was spilled all over the floor, and the customer's clothes.
There was a white man next to him who kept apologizing, and he looked like he was the leader of the waiters.
This scene is not uncommon, and it can be seen everywhere in bars.
A few of them looked back and prepared to continue walking.
Tang Tian found that Walker's eyes were fixed on the black waiter.
Tang Tian also took another look.
The waiter in front turned his face sideways, and turned around now, not to mention, he is pretty good-looking, and he is considered outstanding among black people.
He looked again at Walker's unwilling eyes.
Tsk!
This is a good match!
Walker is an innocent little virgin. When he was dragged to the bar, he didn't even want the meat that was brought to his mouth. He didn't expect to meet his eyes this time.
"Call your boss, how can this kind of high-end bar recruit some niggers!"
The white man whose drink was spilled was probably drunk, and he was so angry with the scolding that he was about to hit the waiter with his hand.
But as soon as he reached out, someone grabbed his hand.
Walker moved his hand.
"Who the hell are you?"
The white man looked at Walker unhappily, his mouth full of alcohol.
However, his speech was obviously not as confident as before, because Walker wore a gold necklace around his neck, and he looked like a rich man.
"Did you just say nigger?"
Walker was in a bad mood at first, and now he directly pushed the white man against the wall.
Although Walker is a short guard, compared to the NBA, he is a real strong man in front of ordinary people.
Tang Tian and Thompson also stood behind Walker to give him momentum.
This is a high-end bar, and there will be a security check when entering, so they don't have to worry about the other side suddenly pulling a pistol out of their clothes or something.
Looking at the group of tall and strong men in front of him, the white man was obviously discouraged.
"I said she didn't talk about you."
He said with some confidence.
"All black people can't be called that. Apologize to her or I'll send you straight to the hospital."
Walker also drank some wine, coupled with his bad mood, it was really possible to send white people to the hospital during that battle.
"Yes, look at my punch the size of a sandbag."
Tang Tian pushed his sleeves cooperatively behind him.
Seeing Tang Tian taking the lead, Thompson and the others also put on fighting poses.
Thompson's face darkened.
Owen picked up the plate on the ground casually.
Butler even took off his clothes directly, revealing his muscles as if his clothes had gone downhill.
Although their scary poses are not very professional, even a little funny.
But in fact, Butler is enough. Butler's fierce face is really scary.
Speaking of their hard training, among the five brothers, Butler is the most similar to Anthony among the Four Heroes, because he was born in a slum and has that kind of gangster temperament.
"He hit me."
At this moment, the waiter also said boldly.
Tang Tian looked back at the waiter, he was quite special.
When ordinary people encounter such a scene, they must cry and ask not to make a big deal and keep their jobs.
I didn't expect this girl to have a personality.
Tang Tian then turned to look at the white man.
"So what if I bumped into her, I'm a customer, I pay for consumption, she's a waiter, she..."
"boom!"
"Ahem!"
Walker directly hit the white man against the wall.
Tang Tian grinned, Walker didn't hold back, no matter how important the white man's ribs were, his ribs would be broken.
"Apologize."
A word popped out of Walker's mouth, which was straightforward enough.
"I apologize, I apologize!"
Before Walker could speak again, the white man was completely discouraged, holding back his cough and speaking quickly.
Walker let go of the white man.
Butler looked like I'll beat you if you dare to move.
Don't dare to move, don't dare to move.
The white man apologized to the waiter, and went back to the box disheartened.
"Kemba, take her downstairs, she probably won't be able to go to work today."
Seeing that the matter was basically resolved, Tang Tian madly gave Walker a hint.
"Thank me……"
"Kemba rarely stands out for others, I think you should buy him a cup of coffee."
Tang Tian then said to the waiter.
The waiter nodded.
"His name is Kemba Walker, he's a basketball player, the kind that makes money."
Tang Tian knew that Walker was not good at talking, so he was directly helping in various ways.
"I'm Gilly."
The waiter said and held out his hand to Walker.
Walker held out his hand a little shyly.
The two shook hands. Although Gilly's face was too dark to tell whether she was red or not, she was somewhat shy.
Well, yes, it looks like love.
"Guys, didn't you say you still have to go bowling? Let's go!"
Tang Tian pulled Butler and Owen out.
Thompson has a high emotional intelligence, so he said hello and walked with him.
"Don, when did we say we were going to go bowling..."
"Don't ask, if you ask, Walker is lucky."
Tang Tian directly blocked Butler's mouth.
Butler reacted and laughed too.
Tang Tian worked very hard as a matchmaker tonight.
When he arrived at the door, Tang Tian suddenly remembered something, and asked Thompson and the others to wait at the door for a while, and then went to the front desk to ask the waiter to call the bar owner.
"I have a hundred thousand to give to him."
Walker was his brother, and he decided to help people to the end.
One hundred thousand US dollars should be able to settle the matter just now and there will be no follow-up.
The boss came down after a while and saw Tang Tian excitedly coming over to say hello.
After chatting for a while, I found out that this guy is a fan of the Knicks, knows him, and can be regarded as half of his fan.
After chatting about the previous conflict, he turned around and asked which room the guest was in. After confirming his identity, he patted his chest and said that he could handle it completely.
No money or anything.
It seemed that the white man was just an ordinary guest.
Tang Tian and the others lived in the same hotel.
Tang Tian got up the next day and went to Walker's place to knock on the door, but there was no one. It seemed that last night went well.
Looks like he helped out last night.
The first day of the All-Star Game is the Masters Game and the Rookie Game. A few of them will not participate, but this day is not all right.
They participated in the interaction between the All-Stars and fans, signing jerseys and so on, which is also the part that everyone who comes to the All-Star Game must participate.
Walker didn't come with them, but they saw Walker at the scene, with that Gilly from last night, with a red face.
Tsk!
Tang Tian could smell the sour smell of love from a long distance away.
This guy has been a bachelor for almost five years since college, and he still remembers what Walker said after winning the championship at UConn.
"I want a real love, just like playing basketball, I don't want it to be just a momentary excitement."
Look, it's not just a passing thrill in the end!
But he was happy for Walker from the bottom of his heart.
He is trying to conceive, and Walker is still single, and he still thinks that their son and daughter will get married in the future.
Well, his son, Walker's daughter.
They chatted for a while and learned some more information.
This Gilly and Walker both grew up in the New York neighborhood and have a common language.
And she also likes street dancing, and the two of them went to the street dance last night.
The sweet look of the two of them seemed to be in place in one step. They didn't find a girlfriend, but directly found a wife.
After chatting for a while, they continued to participate in promotional activities.
Tang Tian and Thompson are together.
Just after signing for a group of fans, Tang Tian looked up and saw Curry and Durant together not far away.
Durant missed this year's All-Star Game due to injury, but he is now recovering well from his injury, and this time the All-Star is also here.
Seeing how Curry and Durant chatted happily, it seems that the relationship is good.
"Don, have you ever thought about coming to Golden State after the contract ends?"
Thompson suddenly asked a question at this moment.
Tang Tian looked back at Thompson suspiciously.
"I know that your contract will expire in 16 years, and I also know that the new labor agreement is likely to increase the salary cap significantly. You can join us."
Thompson continued.
Tang Tian smiled after hearing this, Thompson quite understands the free market.
However, the news of the league's new broadcast agreement has already broken out, which is not too surprising.
Recruit him to the Warriors?
The idea seems to be good. He and Thompson are friends, and he and Curry are quite eye-catching. The three of them are together, and they can directly bring the finale to the NBA.
"You... are you recruiting?"
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Thompson nodded.
In addition to participating in the game during the All-Star Weekend, there is another very important thing for the stars to do is to recruit players for their home team.
"Haha, Klay, you can't do it. My team hasn't lost a few games less than yours, and I still have a 2-year contract. If you don't renew your contract in advance, I really want you to come to the Pelicans. I need you to flank me."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
Thompson is the best 3D, definitely the best for him.
Thompson laughed out loud after hearing this, he knew that Tang Tian was politely rejecting him.
It seems that the two of them can only be opponents in this life, not teammates.
