Chapter 748 Breaking the Single-Game Scoring Record in the All-Star Game (First Update!)

But this is also reasonable.

Even putting aside Tang Tian's personal relationship with them, there is an unwritten rule in the NBA that superstars who perform well will get more shots.

Durant is working hard to find shooting opportunities, but unfortunately this is not the Thunder's season, and Kobe and Leonard rarely pass the ball to him.

Not to mention Kobe and Leonard in the starting lineup, Davis, Klay Thompson, and even Westbrook who came off the bench all passed the ball to Tang Tian.

The head coach of the Western Team is Stevens.

His open and honest display of selfishness allowed Tang Tian to play the entire first quarter.

Tang Tian took 8 shots in the first quarter, the highest number in the game.

He was also quite impressive, scoring 13 points in a single quarter on 6-of-8 shooting, which was also the highest in the game.

This performance made the fans on the sidelines excited.

In NBA history, only two people have been able to win the AMVP for consecutive years.

One is Pettit, who won this honor for two consecutive years in 1958 and 1959.

The other one is Tang Tian, ​​who also won the AMVP award in 2014 and 2015.

But if Tang Tian wins this honor again this year, he will become the only one in history who has three consecutive AMVP titles.

And this trend is very obvious now, so the excitement of fans is understandable.

During the timeout between the first and second quarters, Durant pulled Harden and Westbrook and kept communicating.

Westbrook turned to communicate with Stevens again.

As a result, at the beginning of the second quarter, the Thunder's former three young players Westbrook, Harden and Durant appeared on the same stage.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene.

Last year, the three Thunder young men were also selected to the All-Stars together, but Kerr didn't understand the style and did not arrange for them to appear at the same time.

This year Stevens has them all.

The three former young masters are on the same stage again. This is the first time since Harden was traded to the Rockets.

A very interesting thing happened after the three came on the court. Durant and Harden were both passing the ball to Westbrook frequently.

Tang Tian was resting off the court. After seeing this scene on the court, he quickly knew what they were doing.

In last year's All-Star Game, Tang Tian and Westbrook shared the AMVP.

If Westbrook can win it again this year, he will become the third person in history to win the AMVP.

This is something that can be fought for and achieved.

Especially if the boss Durant brings it up, Harden will definitely cooperate and Westbrook will not object.

Durant was suppressed by Tang Tian for too long, and after experiencing the first quarter, he knew that he could not compete, so he directly changed to destroy it.

Anyway, Westbrook is not convinced by Curry, so it is better to let him get it than Tang Tian being the first person to win three consecutive AMVPs.

Westbrook continuously attacked the inside and his scores continued to rise. By the time Stevens replaced him, his score had reached 12 points.

However, it turns out that this method is not good, because during this period, the Eastern team, led by Irving, has already taken the lead.

Brushing points is risky, even in the All-Star Game.

Stevens replaced Tang Tian, ​​Leonard, and Curry on the field again.

Tang Tian hit consecutive long-range shots to help the Western team regain stability.

In terms of scoring stability, Tang Tian is now much better than Westbrook.

Westbrook's strongest weapon, the Turtle Breakthrough, is just one of Tang Tian's many weapons arsenal.

Led by Tang Tian's 23 points in the half, the Western team ended the first half with an 81-71 lead over the Eastern team.

Facts have proved that Tang Tian's AMVP tonight is really not that easy to win.

In the second half, the Eastern team, led by George, started to chase points, and the rhythm of both sides was very fast.

Tang Tian's score also continued to rise, reaching 38 points at the end of three quarters.

However, the score difference between the two sides is very close, hovering between 6 and 8 points, and the outcome is still unclear.

The score was tight, and Stevens no longer played with the feelings of the Thunder's third young master.

Although the outcome of the All-Star Game is irrelevant, no matter what the game is, the first priority as a head coach is to win.

Stevens plays according to this standard.

Curry, Tang Tian, ​​Leonard, Durant and Davis were his last-minute lineup.

On the Eastern team, Blatt didn't show any weakness. Irving, George, James, Anthony and Howard were also tit-for-tat.

George hit a big three-pointer and scored his 33rd point of the game, which also helped the Eastern team narrow the point difference to 6 points again.

Tang Tiansan threatened and deceived George and also hit a pull-up three-pointer in return.

After the ball went in, his personal score had reached 41 points.

He kept taking shots in the first three quarters, and even though the intensity of the confrontation was not very high, his touch was improved.

Now when it comes to the decisive moment, he will get it if he takes the shot.

George's outside three-point shot failed again, and Davis protected the defensive rebound.

The Western team counterattacked, and when Tang Tian's chasing three-pointer went in and came out, the scene was agitated.

In NBA history, the All-Star Game single-game scoring record is held by Wilt Chamberlain.

In the 1961-62 season, Dashuai Zhang scored a record 42 points in the 1962 All-Star Game.

Now Tang Tian is only one point away from this record.

This is also the reason why the ball just now brought such a big reaction.

But the fans' wait did not last long.

Irving's layup slipped out of the basket. After Davis got another defensive rebound, the Western team launched a defensive counterattack.

Tang Tian received Curry's long pass in the frontcourt and dunked directly with both hands to score.

This ball set the entire arena on fire.

Tang Tian scored 43 points, officially surpassing Chamberlain and becoming the owner of the single-game scoring record in NBA All-Star history!

And that's not the end.

Because the Eastern team refused to give up, Tang Tian also scored consecutively.

Until one minute before the end, Tang Tian's turn and fadeaway hit raised his personal score to 50 points, which also helped the Western team widen the point difference to 11 points to seal the victory.

In the end, the Western team defeated the Eastern team 183 to 173 and won the scoring battle.

Tang Tian made 20 of 27 shots and scored a record 50 points!

At the end of the game, the players on both sides were congratulating Tang Tian.

They are all witnesses to the birth of new records.

Tang Tian also hugged Kobe affectionately at the end.

This was supposed to be Kobe's final performance, but Kobe gave up this opportunity and made him successful.

After the hug, Tang Tian waved to greet the Toronto fans.

"MVP! MVP!"

Although the final selection results have not yet come out, there is no suspense about the result and the fans are already cheering for Tang Tian.

The wait did not last long. Shortly after the cheers died down, Xiao Hua announced the final winner of the 2016 All-Star Game MVP.

Tang Tian had no doubts.

Tang Tian thanked the fans and All-Star teammates as always.

When he raised the MVP trophy, the decibel level reached a peak.

After Tang Tian won the MVP trophy, he became the only player in NBA history to win the AMVP for three consecutive years!

Thanks to 1025long1025 for the reward.
