The Godfather of Basketball

On January 20th, US time, only five days had passed since the announcement of the second round of ballots for the NBA All-Stars.

On this day, the Rockets ushered in the third game of the season with the Suns at home.

The Suns feel great in this game, the two teams have been anxious from the start.

Until the end of the game, with a 21 in Yao Ming's basket, the Rockets beat the opponent 111 to 108.

The Suns' Nash scored a season-high 38 points and 12 assists, and Stoudemire also had 20 points and 16 rebounds.

The Rockets' Yi Jianlian once again ushered in an explosion, scoring 27 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks with 11 shots.

A fierce regular season game, but at this particular point in time, it is more like a fuel booster.

Because on this night, shortly after the end of the game, the third round of voting results of the NBA were announced.

Just then, something that surprised all American fans happened.

In the position of the western forward, Yi Jianlian won a total of 1,242,842 votes in three rounds, exceeding Duncan's 1.132,095 votes, and came to the first place in the western forward!

In the past 5 days, Yi Jianlian got a full 400,000 votes!

terror! Thriller!

When American fans saw this, their first reaction was to rub their eyes and see if they were dazzled.

But the data is correct!

In the face of the unfair treatment of American fans and the league, and knowing that the next All-Star Game vote will no longer count, this voting result made everyone aware of one thing: the number of people No one can offend the Chinese!

Tang Tian was not surprised by such a result.

It seems that American fans are very lively, and their protest has also received a response from the league, but Chinese fans are not stupid.

To put it in vernacular, anyway, as long as the final vote is more than you, anyhow you are blind.

As for the pressure that may be put on Yi Jianlian in the All-Star Game, it does not exist.

Because he did not serve as the Western All-Stars last year, Tang Tian will most likely become the head coach of the Western All-Stars this year, and then add Yao Ming and McGrady, who are already determined. In fact, the Western All-Stars are half the Rockets.

In addition, Kobe and Duncan are both historical superstars, and they will not care about such things.

After the shock, American fans once again protested to the league, and the protest was unprecedented.

But this time, the league did not respond.

In fact, they can't respond anymore. With the rules already made, this session is impossible to change.

Frustrated by American fans, they can only start calling on native fans to vote for Duncan.

Cannot stop Yi Jianlian from becoming, or at least not lag behind in votes.

At the same time, there were many 404 errors on the domestic voting official website, and it is not known whether American hackers really started to do it.

On January 29th, American time, the fourth round of the All-Star ballot was released, and the final list was settled.

On the East side, Howard received more than 3.1 million votes, followed by James's 2.9 million. The remaining three were Wade 2.7 million, Garnett 2 million and Carter 1.6 million. .

On the Western Army side, Yao Ming was once again elected All-Star Ticket King, and broke the record with a total of 3.4 million votes, followed by Kobe, who received 2.8 million, followed by McGrady 2.7 million. Duncan was 2.57 million and Yi Jianlian was 2.4 million.

The full output of American fans finally made Duncan the first forward, but Yi Jianlian still crushed Stoudemire by 1.4 million and became the forward in the West.

The final result came out, Chinese fans cheered and American fans could only choose to admit it.

Like Tang Tiansuo, within the rules, they can only choose to shut up.

As a result, the Rockets became the Western All-Stars, refreshing the team history again.

The All-Star Game ballot is settled, but it is still half a month before the game day. The Rockets currently lead the Lakers by two wins.

The players attach great importance to the next game, because it is related to whether Tang Tian or Phil Jackson will become the All-Star Western Army head coach.

Before this day's game with the Trail Blazers, Tang Tian was studying tactics, and an unexpected guest came to his office.

Pietrus.

"Michael?" Tang Tian was a little surprised to see Pietrus.

"Coach." Pietrus carefully closed the door.

"What's the matter?" Tang Tian nodded and motioned to Pietrus to sit.

After Pietrus sat down, he put his hands on the table and squeezed them back and forth, seeming a little nervous.

Tang Tian looked at him puzzled.

"That's it." After a little hesitation, Pietrus finally said, "Coach, I want to be a player."

"Huh?" Tang Tian looked at Pietrus unexpectedly.

He didn't expect Pietrus to make such a request suddenly.

"In my case, he can release tma, he can return to the familiar small forward position, and he can devote all his energy to the offense, so I think I am more suitable than Shawn." Pietrus then explained.

Tang Tian slowly looked back.

This reason is passable, in fact Tang Tian also knows these benefits.

But honestly, in terms of defensive experience and personal ability, Pietrus is still worse than Battier, otherwise he would not always let Pietrus substitute.

Just didn't expect it to be at this point in time.

After half a month, it's All-Stars, and then the trade deadline.

Just then, a message flashed through his mind.

He glanced at Pietrus again, and seemed to understand why the latter made the request at this time.

Pietrus originally signed a two-year contract with the Rockets. This year is his contract year!

It's about the next contract, that is, his future, and players will always strive for maximum benefits.

After Tang Tian understood ~ www.readwn.com ~ with a smile: "I will discuss this with the coaching staff and maintain a positive attitude."

After listening, Pietrus nodded excitedly, and after a few words of humiliation, he went out of the office with a look of joy.

After Pietrus left, Tang Tian also added this to the meeting's memo.

At the time, Pietrus signed the contract with the Rockets because of his salary cut. Even if the coaching staff finally discussed that Battier was suitable, he would increase the playing time of the latter.

The regular meeting of the coaching staff was held in the afternoon. After discussing the game tactics with the Trail Blazers, Tang Tian raised the question of who was Pietrus and Shane Battier.

"All your opinions." Tang Tian said around his assistants.
