Chapter 747: The Inheritance of the Shooting Guard (Fourth Update!)

Bojan's championship was unexpected, but it also gave the Pelicans another new gain in the All-Star Game.

A player's strength needs a stage. Ariza's injury gave Bo Yang a chance to enter the starting lineup. His performance is not bad.

Now he has won the three-point contest with a new record, and his strength has been further recognized.

The Pelicans gave other teams a stronger feeling than before.

After the three-point contest is the dunk contest.

The 2016 slam dunk contest in history is comparable to the 2000 slam dunk contest, but perhaps because of Tang Tiantra, Gordon did not participate this year.

In the end, LaVine was as invincible as last year, and easily defeated others to achieve two consecutive slam dunk contests.

The slam dunk contest is over, and so is the All-Star Weekend on this day.

Then, there was only the final day of the All-Star Game.

After the slam dunk contest ended that night, Tang Tian received an invitation from Kobe to go out for something to eat.

After Tang Tian sent Olsen back to the hotel, he went to meet Kobe.

This is Kobe's last season, and also Kobe's last All-Star Game.

Tang Tian had given Kobe Bryant a lot of helpful advice before, and the two were also very good friends off the court.

The two talked a lot after they sat down.

"I still have to thank you for the advice you gave me before. That was an important reason why I decided to retire. I want to start a family life."

Kobe's words in the chat made Tang Tian dumbfounded.

Kobe did not suffer a serious Achilles tendon injury like in history, and theoretically he will not retire at this point in time.

Tang Tian didn't want Duncan to retire early because of himself, but now he changed direction and let Kobe retire.

"But I will continue to watch you, the future of this league will be yours."

What Kobe said next made Tang Tian laugh even more.

"Do you want to be like Tim and treat me like LeBron?"

Tang Tian said to Kobe with a smile.

Duncan said to James that the future is yours, but the whole world knows it.

Kobe laughed too, but shook his head.

"Whether it's LeBron or Steph, they both have so much to prove, you don't have to, you've already won two championships from the beginning.

And when you arrive in New Orleans, it's like building a pyramid, laying the foundation step by step, and you will build an unprecedented large pyramid.

And LeBron is always taking shortcuts, and Steph suddenly had a sky garden last year, but that's the most they can have.

Your pyramid is about to be completed, and in the future you will be able to stand on the top of the tower and overlook this alliance. "

What Kobe said next was philosophical, but also very practical.

And he really understands football. What he sees is not who was the champion last year and who will be the champion this year, but how Tang Tian and the Pelicans grow.

As he said, what he saw was Tang Tian's continuous improvement in strength and the continuous improvement of the Pelicans lineup.

His description is also very appropriate, the pyramid is the most stable building, only the solid foundation can create the highest peak.

This is much more stable than James, who has been building the Big Three, and Curry, who has suddenly exploded because of the small ball era.

"Haha, I accept your business bragging among friends."

Tang Tian smiled and raised his red wine glass.

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.
