Chapter 1063 New All-Star Draft Competition System (Fourth Update!)

Tang Tian agreed.

Agreed very directly.

In fact, he had this plan originally.

Although I won the last slam dunk contest, it was not much fun to watch. It was purely based on bouncing.

But that is by no means the charm of dunking, so he still wants to do it again.

Previously, I was worried that the krypton gold value was not enough, so I did not accept the alliance invitation.

But the popularity of co-branded sneakers has solved his worries.

Tang Tian's agreement immediately made the fans excited.

Although everyone usually talks about pink turning into black, and the road turning into black.

But one of the three major essences of human beings is true fragrance, and the body is still very honest!

I'm absolutely excited to see Tang Tian compete in the slam dunk contest again. What kind of bike would he need?

The Pelicans defeated the Celtics in the last game in January. After their 40-game winning streak was ended, they ushered in another five-game winning streak.

The hope of 82 wins is gone, but 80 wins is still very promising.

At this time, the league announced the final voting results for each individual event and the All-Star Game.

Among the individual competitions, the most attention-grabbing one is naturally the slam dunk contest.

In addition to Tang Tian, ​​LaVine and Gordon, there is another player who is the hottest newcomer this season, Donovan Mitchell.

Although Mitchell is not a standard dunker, he has a strong style of play and has a lot of actual dunks in the game. It is worth looking forward to whether he can become a dark horse.

In terms of the three-point contest, Curry did not participate this year and was led by Thompson and Gordon.

It is worth mentioning that Brogdon of the Pelicans will also participate.

In addition to participating in the three-point competition, Brogdon will also participate in the skills challenge and rookie competition.

The interesting thing is that his opponents in the Skills Challenge included a number of old Pelicans players, including Dinwiddie and Lou Williams.

This kind of duel is also quite interesting.

There is also the rookie game. In addition to Brogdon, Siakam of the Pelicans was also selected due to his outstanding performance.

It's just that because the rookie competition is now divided into the international team and the American team, the two of them will change from teammates to opponents in the rookie competition.

Of course, compared to individual competitions, this year’s main competition is particularly interesting.

Xiao Hua has always been a reformist, both before and after his comeback.

Including the future plans mentioned in his comeback speech, as well as the two-way contract that has been implemented this season, etc.

There is also the reform of this All-Star Game.

This time the voting will no longer be entirely decided by the fans, and the final result will be divided into three parts.

Fan voting results account for 50%, with players and media each accounting for the remaining 25%.

Finally, the final starting lineup was selected based on the results of the three-party voting.

This is already a reform, but it is not the whole story.

After all the substitute lists are released, the East and West will be divided into the James and Tang Tian teams, and the teams will be divided into teams by taking turns!

This also means that for the first time in history, the All-Stars from the East and West will have the opportunity to fight side by side!

Many of Xiao Hua's reforms have done more harm than good, but some of them are actually very useful.

For example, this selection seems very novel and interesting.

Even to a certain extent, it alleviates the current big difference in starlight between the East and the West, making the game more suspenseful!

Of course, the choice will have to wait until a few days before the All-Star Game. At this time, only the final starting list and selected substitute players will be announced.

The starting five in the East are Irving, DeRozan (backcourt), Antetokounmpo, George, and James (frontcourt).

The Cavaliers and Bucks each occupy two starting spots.

The starting five in the West are Curry, Tang Tian (backcourt), Durant, Butler, and Davis (frontcourt).

The Pelicans hold three spots!

The remaining two seats will be taken by the Warriors.

The results of this voting are more realistic than the previous simple voting by fans.

This is also very similar to the current structure of the league.

The Cavaliers, Bucks, Pelicans, and Warriors are all the top two teams in the East and West.

But the more tragic ones are Paul and Harden.

Because there are two bugs like Tang Tian and Curry, no matter how good they play, it will be difficult for them to enter the starting lineup.

In addition to the starting lineup, the bench lineups for the Eastern and Western Conferences were also announced.

West side: Westbrook, Paul, Lillard, Harden, Klay Thompson, Aldridge, Embiid.

With 5 guards and 2 inside players, the Western Conference guards engage in a popular battle every year.

It is a pity that Walker of the Pelicans, Holiday and Conley of the Mavericks all performed well, but they were all unfortunately not selected due to fierce competition for point guards.

East side: Wall, Lowry, Wade, Hayward, Horford, Drummond, Whiteside.

Compared with the west, the east is exactly the opposite. It is a short general.

Time has come to February before we know it, and there is only the last half month left before the start of the All-Star Game.

At this time, there were some unexpected changes to the previous substitute lists in the Eastern and Western Conferences due to injuries.

Wall will miss the All-Star Game due to an injury in the game (ruptured Achilles tendon), and his position will be taken by teammate Carmelo Anthony.

The same thing happened in the West. Paul will not play in the All-Star Game due to a recurrence of his leg injury.

After the final selection of the head coaches of the Western Conference teams, Walker narrowly defeated Conley and Holiday by 1 vote and was successfully selected as an alternate.

Although the process is somewhat tortuous, Walker will eventually play in this year's All-Star Game with Tang Tian and the others!

They are also the only team this season to have four players in the All-Star Game.

For Tang Tian, ​​the fact that Walker can play is a double happiness plus a third happiness. This is triple happiness.

They say a bad thing can only come three times, but there is no limit to how good things can come one after another.

The fourth piece of good news followed.

Nike's dividends are here.

Because of the co-branded sneakers, Tang Tian thought his dividends would be huge, but he never expected it would be so huge.

In the past few years, his dividends have been rising. Last year was a peak of 30 million before tax.

But this year the number will go up again, directly to 42 million!

The brand effect of The Godfather has been marketed to an extreme by Nike!

You must know that this is not an endorsement fee, but a sneaker dividend!

This number alone can predict that it is only a matter of time before Godfather, like Jordan, breaks away and becomes a separate brand.

The commercial value of this brand is too high.

Tang Tian also felt so happy.

This wave of 42 million krypton gold value, after tax, he can get almost 25 million krypton gold value!

Counting the remaining 21 million krypton gold value from the previous exchange, as well as the krypton gold value he received from his monthly salary this season.

He already has more than 50 million krypton gold worth!

This is enough for him to exchange for a red skill!

And this is different from the time in November, because it is close to opening the system, he has a very clear goal this time!
