Demps replied that he would try hard.
But it’s clear that this kind of thing can’t be achieved at once.
Time unknowingly came to January 24.
Tang Tian has basically recovered, this morning he participated in the team’s joint training.
After the joint training, he has obtained the permission of the team doctor, and the next game of the Grizzlies can be directly played.
Also at noon on this day, the league officially announced the final ballot results of the All-Star.
This result has attracted the attention of countless people.
In addition to who is selected, whether Tang Tian can become the All-Star voter is also the focus of attention.
You know that domestic fans have gone crazy because they can’t vote.
But in the end, everyone was shocked.
Eastern debut: Irving (800,000), Wade (890,000), George (1.13 million), Anthony (900,000), James (1.3 million)
Western starting: Curry (960,000), Kobe (1.15 million), Durant (1.1 million), Griffin (600,000), Tang Tian (1.9 million)
Tang Tian received a total of 1.9 million votes, and became the All-Star vote king with a crushing advantage of 600,000 over second James (1.3 million votes)!
The league’s restrictions on voting for fans in China have not played any role, but have made this gap even wider!
When Xiao Hua saw this result, he was stunned.
This is completely different from what he expected!
On the contrary, because of the restriction on voting in China, everyone else got fewer votes than expected!
This time, the fans on social media are completely hi.
“My friends in China say they haven’t been able to cast All-Star votes in the past two weeks!”
“Yes, I saw a lot of Chinese students complaining on Twitter that the NBA is really reducing the league’s image!”
“But I especially want to laugh now! Because after this restriction, Tang’s votes rose more than others, and much more!”
“What is the principle? Although I like this result very much, it is really unreasonable to look at it!”
“I have the right to speak in this regard. I am a college student in Connecticut. I didn’t pay much attention to this year’s All-Star, but after hearing that Tang had the opportunity to become the All-Star voter, I voted directly. He is our pride! “
“I also have the right to speak. I’m not a fan, but because this year’s NBA All-Star Game was played in New Orleans! I voted for both Tang and AD!”
“Also, my friends from Chinese students in China couldn’t vote. They forwarded this to Twitter. Many of their friends started to vote madly for Tang because of unhappy NBA practice!”
“Haha, so to speak, is this a retaliatory vote ?!”
“It’s true that the NBA has done too much this time. The rules are set by you. The restrictions have been passed before, and they are still blocked!”
“Maybe they really don’t want the Chinese market! After all, enough money is made!”
“When was Stern so short-sighted ?!”
“Forget it, don’t look at such an alliance!”
…
From fans’ comments on social media, we can see that there are many reasons for Tang Tian’s voting result.
And indeed a large part is retaliatory voting.
But in addition to the result itself, fans are more questioning the league’s approach and the spread of negative speeches such as “NBA doesn’t look at it”, the league has encountered a very large crisis of trust.
“Do you want me to pull down my old face and let the Alliance Office re-select a successor?”
In the alliance president’s office, Stern finally got angry at Xiao Hua.
This has done a great deal of damage to the image of the alliance.
Xiao Hua didn’t dare to put a fart at this time. He originally thought that banning the Chinese area was irrelevant, but he did not expect such a big reaction in China.
“I will appoint Tatum as the chief vice president of the alliance and consult the alliance office to increase the one-year presidential observation period. If you do this again, they have the right to request a presidential replacement.”
Stern said directly to Xiao Hua.
Xiao Hua had nothing to refute except gritting his teeth.
At this time, if he dare to refute, Stern really dare not to shave his face with him.
The day after the All-Star vote ended, the league issued an announcement.
“Because of technical problems in the background and the failure of the counting staff, the league has not found that Chinese fans cannot vote. The league has fired relevant staff and apologized to the Chinese fans in this regard, and promised that it would not happen again Case.”
This announcement is official, but it can also be regarded as a statement of the alliance.
But no matter what, Tang Tian became the All-Star Ticket King this year after becoming the All-Star starter last year!
This is really one footprint a year.
It was a joy to be the king of votes. Tang Tian invited his teammates for a great dinner that night.
But after this meal, the ticket king’s affairs were temporarily left behind.
The Pelicans had a bit of a bad record during his injury, and getting the team back into the playoffs is more important now.
On January 25, the Pelicans took home the town and ushered in the Grizzlies game.
The two teams have fought twice before, once with Tang Tian, once without Tang Tian and both times lost.
The Grizzlies’ record this season is not particularly good, but the ability to play tough battles is very strong, and because of the great advantage in the interior, a little bit of the Pelicans.
In the TNT program before the game, the three giants discussed the status of Tang Tian after he returned from injury.
“I won’t choose to come back in such a game. Against the group of guys in Memphis, I have to peel off the skin if I die.”
Kenny Smith talked about Tang Tian’s comeback choice in the show. The Grizzlies have established a sturdy style of play in the past few years, which really makes their opponents daunting.
“In fact, I am very worried about Tang’s condition. His play is mainly partial projection. Shoulder injuries will have a great impact on this type of players.”
Barkley expressed concern about Tang Tian in the show.
“He is not an average player, I believe him.”
O’Neal’s speech directly made Buckley and Smith laugh.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Since O’Neal lost his bet last time and wore a pink skirt, he has become a complete supporter of the Tang school, even a bit of a brain-smelling fan.
“And they have just suffered a five-game losing streak and they really need him.”
In order to disguise himself, OU reads www.uukanshu.com and then added.
Buckley and Smith nodded, and O’Neal was right.
Tang Tian’s comeback is tantamount to the return of the backbone, whether or not this game is really important.
TNT has created momentum for Tang Tian’s comeback battle. This game also attracted heated discussions from fans before the game.
But in addition to this is Tang Tian’s comeback battle, there is another reason is that the defender of Tang Tian will be Tony Allen.
Allen was selected for defense for two consecutive seasons from 2011 to 2013. He is still the second-most defender in the league behind Tang Tian.
In the game between the two teams in November, Tang Tian, who he defended, did not hit 40%.
It is also very interesting to play against each other.
