Chapter 780 The Legacy of the Shooting Guard
Boyn's championship was unexpected, but it also allowed the Pelicans to finally win in the All-Star Game.
The player's strength needs to be a stage. Ariza was injured before and gave Boyang a chance to enter, and his performance was good.
Now he won the championship by setting a new record in the three-point competition, and his strength has been further recognized.
The Pelicans give other teams a point stronger than before.
After the three-point competition, it is the dunk competition.
In history, the 2016 slam dunk contest is comparable to the 2000 slam dunk contest, but perhaps because of Tang Tian's time travel, Gordon did not participate this year.
In the end, LaVine was as invincible as last year, easily defeating others and achieving two consecutive championships in the dunk contest.
The dunk contest ended, and the All-Star weekend ended.
Then, there was only the last day of the All-Star Game.
After the dunk contest that night, Tang Tian received an invitation from Kobe to go out for something to eat together.
Tang Tian sent Olson back to the hotel first, and then went to meet Kobe.
This is Kobe's last season and Kobe's last All-Star Game.
Tang Tian had given Kobe a lot of helpful advice before, and the two of them were also friends with a good relationship off the court.
After the two of them sat down, they also talked a lot.
"I still have to thank you for the advice you gave me before. That's one of the important reasons why I decided to retire. I want to start my family life."
Kobe's words during the chat made Tang Tian laugh and cry.
Kobe did not suffer a serious Achilles tendon injury as in history, and in theory he would not retire at this point in time.
Tang Tian didn't want Duncan to retire early because of himself, but now he has changed his direction and retired Kobe.
"But I will continue to look at you, the future of this alliance will be yours."
Kobe's words made Tang Tian laugh even more.
"Do you want to learn from Tim and treat me as LeBron?"
Tang Tian said to Kobe with a smile.
Duncan told James that the future is yours, but the whole world knows.
Kobe laughed, but shook his head.
"Either LeBron or Stephen, they have too many things to prove. You don't need it, you've already won two championships from the beginning.
And after you arrive in New Orleans, it is like building a pyramid, laying the foundation step by step, and you will create an unprecedented great pyramid.
And LeBron is always taking shortcuts, Stephen was like suddenly having a sky garden last year, but that was already the most they could have.
Your pyramid is about to be completed, and in the future you can stand at the spire of the tower and overlook this alliance."
Kobe's next words are very philosophical, but they are also very real.
And he really understands the 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 grew up.
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 the highest top.
This is much more stable than James who has been forming the Big Three and Curry who has suddenly risen because of the small ball era.
"Haha, I accept the business hype between your friends."
Tang Tian smiled and raised his red wine glass.
Kobe shook his head, but he raised his glass to drink with Tang Tian.
He is not bragging. He used to think that Tang Tian had a chance to get close to him, but now he feels that Tang Tian has a chance to get closer to Jordan beyond him.
On the last day of the All-Star Weekend, the All-Star Game officially kicked off at the Canadian Route Center Stadium.
The All-Star Entrance Ceremony before the opening game, Kobe's finale attracted explosive cheers from fans on the scene.
This is the last time they have seen Kobe appear on this stage.
However, even in Kobe's retirement season, Tang Tian was the last player to appear. As the new All-Star voter, it was not appropriate not to appear in the final game.
The cheers at the scene also reached a new peak.
Tang Tian’s previous punching of Pachuria caused him a lot of doubts, but from the voting results, we can see 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 point guard in history.
What Tang Tian did to protect his teammates was nothing, but his approach allowed him to have many hardcore fans.
After the warm-up, people from the east and west also appeared one after another.
Lowry, Wade, George, Anthony and James in the east.
Curry, Tang Tian, Kobe, Leonard and Durant in the West.
James jumped to Durant and officially opened the All-Star Game.
George received a three-pointer from Wade when he got up.
The Pacers' record this season is average, but George is in a very hot state.
Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and gave 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 to drag the game into overtime, stealing the victory that the Eastern Conference had originally won, making Jordan's last dance not complete.
But I guess I don't remember much that All-Star Game Jordan got the most 27 shots in the game, which was the respect of other players for the God of Basketball.
Now that Kobe is about to retire, Curry is doing the same thing.
However, Kobe didn't seem to do what Jordan did at the time, and he transferred the ball directly to Tang Tian.
He was a very paranoid person before, but Tang Tian changed him.
Just as he told Tang Tian yesterday, he felt that the future belongs to Tang Tian, so he gave Tang Tian the opportunity.
Kobe didn't say that Tang Tian also knew what he thought, and he also knew that since Kobe chose to do this, he would not accept it and would not give Kobe face.
He caught the ball and faced Wade, and then turned around and leaned back and hit.
It is the best way to catch Kobe's pass and score in Kobe's way.
Sure enough, Kobe laughed when he saw it, and the fans at the scene cheered.
Maybe there is no words or additional explanation, but this is a kind of inheritance, the inheritance of historical guards.
Lowry missed a three-pointer from the outside, Leonard won the long rebound, and after holding the ball and taking the fast break, he turned around and saw Tang Tian who was about to go down, and passed the ball directly.
Tang Tian received the ball and threw Lowry away with a one-handed dunk.
George received James' pass and broke through and dunked to return with a color.
Looking back, Curry broke through and directly passed the ball to Tang Tian with an empty reception. Tang Tian jumped up and raised his arm and took it with one hand.
As soon as the game started, Tang Tian scored 6 points with a sudden shot.
Curry has never had a strong desire to score in the All-Star Game. Kobe wants to pass the ball to Tang Tian, and Leonard is Tang Tian’s former younger brother.
