The Golden Invincible of Basketball
v3 Chapter 770: Tang Tian breaks All-Star ticket record
The Pelicans have won 11 consecutive victories, and the record has reached a terrible 36 wins and 1 loss!
When the time entered mid-January, people first discovered that the momentum of the Pelicans had the hope of hitting the best record in regular season history!
The best record in NBA history in the regular season is 72 wins and 10 losses, which was set by the Bulls in the 1995-1996 season.
At that time, Jordan's return after two years of retirement was still hot, Pippen also grew into a superstar, plus Rodman, the Bulls were almost invincible at the time.
The Bulls knew they were strong without hitting the fans.
But the Pelicans' performance now is just like ESPN's prediction that it will be ranked first by fans. It is absolutely unexpected, and even no one can think of it.
Cole ’s 67 wins in his first season as a coach last year are enough amazing, but the first season of Stevens Pelicans is shocking enough!
The Pelicans continued to sing.
Against the Jazz on January 17, the Jazz played tenaciously and stalemate with the Pelicans to the fourth quarter. Tang Tian and Davis played a wave of hands to end the game.
Tang Tian had 27 points, 5 rebounds and 9 assists. Davis scored 24 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Against the Clippers on January 20, the Clippers were in a hot state and played against the Pelicans at the last minute.
Louis Williams scored 30 points, including dragging the game into an overtime three-pointer at the last minute.
But in overtime, Tang Tian scored 10 points and the Pelicans won.
Tang Tian scored the first 30+ after returning, 35 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists. Boyang scored 5 three-pointers and scored 20 points.
At the same time as the Pelicans won 13 consecutive victories, the record also further expanded to 38 wins and 1 loss!
With this outstanding performance, the Pelicans beat the Warriors with 34 wins and 5 losses and continued to hold the league top.
Tang Tian also continued to suppress Curry's top position in the MVP list.
And on this day, the league announced the results of the 2016 Toronto All-Star Game.
Tang Tian received 3.22 million votes. Not only did he complete the Sanlianzhuang of the All-Star Ticket King, his number of votes also broke Howard's record of 3.15 million in 2009, becoming the owner of a new record of NBA ticket kings!
The Pelicans played an incredible performance. Tang Tian's popularity in the United States and China reached a peak. It was also expected to get such votes.
Kobe Bryant ranked second in the number of votes, ushered in the last season of his career, he got 2 million votes.
Curry ranked third with 1.9 million votes.
The three became the starting backcourt and small forward in the West.
The two remaining starting places in the West are Leonard (800,000) and Durant (1 million).
On the east side, James got 1.2 million votes and became the king of the east.
The remaining four starters are Lowry (650,000), Wade (950,000), Anthony (850,000) and George (700,000).
Tang Tian broke the All-Star voting record, which is a huge boost to the Pelicans' morale.
In particular, they are about to usher in the second game of the Warriors season.
This game was played at the Oracle Arena. The Pelicans went to Auckland one day in advance and conducted public training the next morning.
The morale of the players was high, and the atmosphere was high in both the training and the locker rooms.
Tang Tian just finished interviewing side reporters. When returning to the locker room from the training ground, he found that Stevens and Williams were communicating.
Williams' expression looked anxious.
The exchange between the two was over when he walked over. Williams saw Tang Tian and hurriedly left after saying hello.
Tang Tian was very puzzled. The game started in the evening, and Williams left the stadium in such a hurry.
"Monty's wife is in a car accident and the situation is more critical. He needs to get back to New Orleans."
Stevens sighed.
When Tang Tian heard this for a moment, he remembered something.
In his last life, Williams' wife also died in a car accident this year.
Because of this, the NBA League also awarded Williams an award called the SEG Strength Award in 2018 to commend Williams's story of persisting in work and raising four children after the misfortune.
Unexpectedly, history repeats itself, just like Holaday's wife's brain cancer.
However, this is also a reasonable thing. Tang Tian's crossing affects the part that is related to him, and it will naturally happen that has nothing to do with him.
And this is not the same as Hollodi's wife. You can warn of illness, but accidents are unavoidable.
Just like a series of film deaths, the accidents to avoid will always continue to happen in other ways.
What Tang Tian can do now is to pray that his wife Williams is okay like Stevens.
After communicating with Tang Tian, Stevens also went to the locker room and announced the incident.
Although this will make players worry, Williams as the first assistant is absent from the game for no reason.
Williams has coached the Pelicans for three seasons, and core players like Davis, Holloday and Tang Tian have played under his coach for two seasons.
And Williams is good at interpersonal communication, and even newcomers such as Boyang and Harris have a good relationship with him.
It can be said that the entire team was worried and worried after hearing this news.
"Guys, we need to win the game, this is the only thing we can do."
Stevens felt the mentality of the team members and encouraged morale.
The players nodded one after another, but from the response, they were still worried.
This worry was finally reflected in the field, the Pelicans' overall performance tonight is not in shape.
Even Tang Tian and Davis showed ups and downs because of their emotional influence.
In the end, the Pelicans lost the game 106 to 116 and swallowed the second loss of the season.
However, winning or losing the game at this time is not the focus of the Pelicans, they have not held a press conference after the game.
They flew back to New Orleans overnight and went to the hospital to visit his wife Williams.
Williams was sitting in the operating room with an expression of embarrassment. There were four children sitting next to him. They were all somewhat injured. Still on.
Stevens patted him on the shoulder in the past, and Tang Tian and his teammates also came to his side to comfort him.
But Williams looked at the operating room with a sullen expression, and he had been worried about his wife.
It was learned from the exchange that his wife was hit by a retrograde vehicle.
A significant amount of methamphetamine was detected in the other person's body, which was suspected of being driven by drugs.
In addition, when the vehicle was overpassing, the other side was soothing the puppy on the leg, which eventually led to a car accident.
But blame was useless at this time, because the retrograde driver and puppy had died on the spot.
Four of Williams' children were in the car at the time. Fortunately, his wife was seriously injured.
