Chapter 438 Local Tyrant Tang Tian (Second Update!)
The game between the Pelicans and the Knicks was on Saturday. Two days after the end of the game, the league announced the best players in the East and West for the previous week.
In the East, Kyrie Irving averaged 29 points, 1.3 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 2.3 steals per game, overpowering James and Paul George to be elected.
In the west, Tang Tian averaged 40.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.1 blocks per game, and was elected without any surprise.
It is worth mentioning that this is the second time in their careers that the two have been elected Player of the Week.
"I heard that Owen and Tang Xia have been training together. It seems that they participated in the best crash training camp of the week!"
"I've heard of that training camp, it's been going on for several years, and there's Klay Thompson, Kemba Walker, Jimmy Butler, by the way, the last time it seems like Jeremy Lamb and Drummond De also went."
"This lineup is so strong, and the progress of these people in the new season is much greater than last season. The training camp really has a significant effect."
"Of course, Tang's trainer is Procopio, the top trainer in the NBA, and I heard that their training intensity is very high."
"Sure enough, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. This seems to explain why Tang exploded. All the unbelievable things are silently paid behind the scenes!"
...
The fans were talking about Tang Tian, but Durant sent a personal twitter at this time.
"Some people suddenly perform well and get everyone's attention, while some people have been performing steadily, but they are often ignored."
It seems to be very casual, and may even have a little literary status.
But if you think about it carefully, it is a strong sense of arrogance.
Translated into vernacular, it means: Don't keep paying attention to Tang Tian, the guy whose score has soared, give me some attention too!
It was to be expected that he would have such a voice.
This season, he maintained his previous scoring, averaging 27.9 points per game, in addition to 7 rebounds and 6.1 assists!
The number of assists is a career high!
Last summer, he developed the dribble during the Olympics, and this season he developed the passing directly.
He is developing into an all-round forward like James, and he is approaching his peak!
If it weren't for Tang Tian's explosive performance in the Pelicans, he should be the most talked about by fans and the media this season.
"You are the second small forward in the league, so don't compete for attention with a rookie like Tang."
"Yeah, you've already won so many scoring titles, it's time to make way, isn't there someone else in the world!"
"You have to learn from James in this regard. You see that James was defeated by Tang twice in a row. Has he ever sent a tweet?"
"Isn't it because you can't bear the traffic?"
...
Durant's Twitter this time did not lead the trend as before, but instead attracted fans to complain.
And these complaints are not without reason.
Tang Tian's progress deserves more praise, why should Durant be jealous because of this kind of thing?
When Durant saw the comments here, he was so angry that he logged on to N trumpets to chat with fans.
He couldn't spray it, and was so angry that he dropped an Apple 5S phone in front of his teammates.
Seeing Durant's mobile phone reimbursement frequency, Westbrook was thinking about whether to persuade him to endorse Apple mobile phones.
After all, if you endorse, you will get a lot of mobile phones, which is more convenient to smash.
At this time, there are only ten days before Christmas.
After experiencing a crazy week, Tang Tian was severely targeted by his opponents, and his performance dropped a bit. The number of consecutive 30+ games was also fixed at 7 games.
However, the Pelicans' record in this period is very stable.
Playing with the Warriors, Spurs, Nets, and Knicks until the last minute, they also gained a lot of game experience.
The growth of young teams depends on this kind of competition.
Although their growth rate is not particularly large now, the progress is visible to the naked eye.
Before Christmas, they made great strides forward, hit a wave of 4 consecutive victories, and have reached the sixth position in the Western Conference.
Last season, the third-to-last team in the Western Conference came to sixth. Although the season has only played for less than 2 months, there are still many variables, but it is enough to prove their progress and hard work.
Christmas is approaching, besides preparing to spend the holidays with Olsen, Tang Tian has another thing planned for this year.
Give gifts to teammates.
Giving Christmas gifts is very common in the NBA. Tang Tian also exchanged gifts with the Spurs players.
Only this time, what he gave was not an ordinary gift.
Davis's voice in front of the media before, although he was officially confirmed as the leader of the Pelicans, but Davis actually didn't have much say in the Pelicans, and what he said didn't count.
Know that status on the court does not mean the locker room.
Like James Jones, he rarely has the opportunity to appear in the Heat, but he is a unique locker room leader with a lot of right to speak.
So what Tang Tian has to do now is to gain the right to speak in the locker room.
His method is to give gifts and spend money.
The Pelicans did not participate in the Christmas game, after the last training session before Christmas.
While his teammates were in the locker room, he pulled out a bag and handed out birthday presents to his teammates.
A model of a Ferrari 458.
The car model is very delicate, and the teammates liked it very much after getting it.
However, that seems to be the case.
They're not Duncans, not everyone's car is that big of a favorite.
And a car model doesn't actually cost much.
"Snapped!"
But at this moment, the restless Ci Shiping broke the car model apart.
All the other team members looked at Ci Shiping in a daze.
It's inappropriate for this person to spoil the gift you gave me just now, right?
But under everyone's gaze, Artest pulled something out of the car model.
A car key.
A key to a Ferrari 458!
He pressed it, and it works. This is not a model, but a real key!
The other team members seemed to realize something after a while, and they all took the car model and touched it, and soon found that the car model had a button.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
After a burst of noise, everyone except Davis already had a key in their hands.
They unconsciously looked at Tang Tian.
"The football stadium parking lot next door."
Tang Tian said a location, and after the others heard it, they all rushed out of the locker room shouting.
When everyone else had left, Davis still held the key that had just been removed from the car model in his hand, and looked at Tang Tian blankly.
"Why are they so excited?"
"..."
Tang Tian glanced at Davis.
elder brother! You really don't understand? !
But yes, not everyone is like Davis, who can search all the training facilities in New York to find him.
"I got you guys a Ferrari 458 for Christmas, here are the keys, they won't fit in the underground garage, so I parked them in the rugby field car park next door."
Tang Tian explained with the most straightforward words.
Thanks to Yi Suifeng, People to Middle Age 2020, and woofer for their rewards.
