The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Westbrook gave Ibaka a sudden point. Ibaka's mid-range shot was interfered by Duncan and missed, and Splitter accepted the rebound.

The Spurs defended two waves of offense against the Thunder!

"This kind of defense reminds me of basketball in our era." Barkley said involuntarily at this time.

"Yes, a memorable scene." Kenny Smith also echoed.

This was still the era of Stern.

Although it is not as foul as it was in the Silver era of later generations, with the improvement of the rules, players are allowed fewer and fewer defensive actions on the court.

Able to play this level of defense under the existing rules without being called for a foul.

Now in this alliance, probably only Tony Allen and Tang Tian can fight.

Offense is the most entertaining part of basketball, but this defense seems to be an art.

And it wasn't just defense, Tang Tian got rid of Sefolosha's running position in the frontcourt and got his first shot of the game.

Three-point catch from beyond the three-point line.

"Shh!"

The mad dog defense on the defensive end didn't seem to consume him too much energy, and the ball went hollow into the net after the shot.

13 is better than 17!

The Spurs played a 5-0 counterattack wave, narrowing the point difference to 4 points.

"Charles, this guy must last longer than you!" O'Neill joked to Barkley in the commentary booth.

"No, Shaq, that guy must be bigger than you." Barkley also shot back immediately.

Smith laughed from the sidelines.

The game was fiercely played on the field, and the commentary seat was full of sparks.

After failing to score for two consecutive rounds, Durant knew that he had no advantage in attacking with the ball, so he turned around and ran without the ball.

But it was similar to what he had imagined before, no matter whether it was using a pick-and-roll or running back to the basket, Tang Tian followed closely behind him.

If it wasn't for the fact that they were of the same gender, it would have been a negative distance by now.

Finally, Durant couldn't take it anymore, and directly pushed Tang Tian away to catch the ball.

This movement was a little too big, and Tang Tian fell out of the field in an exaggerated manner.

The referee blows his whistle immediately.

Durant's offensive foul!

Dipping actor!

There were boos at the scene, but the referee was unmoved.

In the previous round of scrimmage, it was actually enough to call a technical foul, but because it was the Thunder's home court and it was Durant, it was not called.

But this action is so obvious, coupled with Tang Tian's exaggerated acting skills, it's not appropriate not to brag.

When Durant backed off, he was uttering words beginning with F, obviously already extremely upset by Tang Tian.

"This is where Durant still needs to grow. You can't scold your mother because the opponent's defense is good. What you need to do is to score points on his head."

Barkley said after seeing Durant's actions.

"Yes, this is the gap between Durant and Kobe, he needs to become tougher." Smith echoed.

"And keep hitting the iron?" O'Neill continued.

After he finished speaking, Barkley and Smith were stunned for a moment and then laughed.

Olsen's black status is considered solid.

"Don't look like that guys, it was like that when the Lakers played against the Spurs." O'Neal explained calmly.

Smith nodded with a smile. Before the Lakers and Spurs, Kobe hit 22 irons, which is indeed vivid.

But that was the 34-year-old Kobe, and O'Neal is still black.

"But no matter what, I think Don is now the strongest defensive player in the league." Barkley concluded.

Smith and O'Neill thought for a while, then nodded in unison.

Defense is not just ability, there are many other aspects.

Such as golf quotient, experience, confrontation and so on.

Needless to say, Tang Tian's golf intelligence, he can play this level of defense without being called a foul, and his understanding of the rules is very good.

Experience, generally speaking, this word does not belong to young players, but Tang Tian made an offensive foul on Durant earlier, which shows that he is not an ordinary young player.

Confrontation was originally Tang Tian's weakness, but as he continued to lose fat and build muscle, he had already reached the league average or even the upper-middle level.

Coupled with his height, and the crazy performance of mini five-doubles on the defensive end for a while.

On the whole, he is indeed the strongest defensive player at this stage.

Although for a 20-year-old player, this is really unbelievable.

While they were talking, perhaps to show that he was not just the strongest defensive player, Tang Tian sent a second pass to Green on the offensive end.

After the latter hit a three-pointer, the Spurs have narrowed the point difference to 1 point!

In the Thunder's offense, Durant was still entangled by Tang Tian.

It seems that Tang Tian and him are really going to die tonight.

He chose a dangerous way of catching the ball, with his back against Tang Tian, ​​and raised his hand to signal Westbrook to lob the ball in.

The ball was very dangerous, but he finally got the ball in spite of the wealth.

Turning around, Durant assumed a triple-threat pose.

"Are you going to be knocked out of the field by me again?"

Durant was annoyed by Tang Tian, ​​so he turned around and began to talk trash at Tang Tian.

Tang Tian ignored him, all his attention was on Durant's shoulder.

Durant took a step, and then directly chose a backward shot.

This ball is very similar to when the two first met, Durant opened the space between the two, and then hit the shot.

Durant is confident.

But this time was different from the opening ball, because Tang Tian struck out with lightning and patted the ball with his hand.

The ball in Durant's hand was shot off, but he quickly picked it up and shot it quickly.

But in such a split second, Tang Tian seized the opportunity to take off first.

Durant just shot the ball

"boom!"

Tang Tian slapped him and flew him out of the arena!

There was an uproar at the scene.

Tang Tian is not only good at flopping!

His blocked shots are better than Wade among guards!

Just after blocking the cap, Tang Tian stretched out his right hand and raised his index finger towards the audience.

Swing left, swing right.

Shake your fingers!

Chapter 355 was selected as an All-Star (8/10, a faint glass color reward plus more)

Durant exploded directly, and turned Tang Tian over with his hand.

The referee was right next to him, seeing Tang Tian getting up and about to start, he slipped directly between the two of them.

Without waiting for a reaction from both sides, Durant was thrown a technical foul.

Thanks to the referee's quick reaction, Tang Tian put down his outstretched hand.

Durant was also held back by Ibaka and Westbrook who rushed over.

"Oh, this is not a boxing match." Barkley couldn't help but said after seeing Durant's reaction.

Although Durant is already the top two small forwards in the league, his sensitive personality is really a big problem.

At least he has learned to control his temper on the court, and there is still a long way to go.

Durant was persuaded by his teammates to calm down, but this game has completely deviated from the track he wanted.

Under Tang Tian's tight defense, he played a game to pay tribute to Kobe. He made 31 of 10 shots and made 4 turnovers.

For a scorer who has always been stable and efficient, Durant was completely defeated by Tang Tian this time.

唐天成为本次比赛绝对的MVP，他不仅防死了杜兰特，自己也交出了20分3板5助攻2抢断2封盖的亮眼数据。

"The runaway Durant is blocked, and Tang really has the possibility to become the fifth perimeter player in the history of the league to win the best defensive player!"

"Yes, Durant's opening state was really unsolvable, but Tang Leng was able to defend a little bit. For the first time, I found that defense is so entertaining!"

"After this game, I have already decided to vote for Tang in the All-Star Game!"

……

After playing outstanding performances against Harden, Kobe and Durant, the team's admiration for Tang Tian reached a peak.

But this time, Durant was rarely silent on social media. It can be seen that he was beaten a little autistic.

Two days after the game between the Spurs and the Thunder, the league announced the fourth round of All-Star voting, which is the final voting results of the 2013 NBA All-Star.

This year's All-Star voting is different from previous years, because last October, league vice president Stu Jackson announced new voting rules.

Starting from the 2013 NBA All-Star voting, due to the approach of the small ball era and the scarcity of big men, the league decided to cancel the center position and change it to two backcourts and three frontcourts.

This decision can allow more outstanding line players to be selected to the All-Star.

Kobe was the most popular with 159 million votes, only more than 7000 votes more than James, and was elected the 2013 NBA All-Star vote king.

The voting results of other players in the East and West are also finally released.

In the backcourt of the East, Wade (100 million) and Rondo (90) have become the starting backcourt of the East with a huge advantage of nearly 50 votes over other guards.

In the frontcourt, the popularity of James (158 million) and Anthony (146 million) remains high.

Garnett (55) beat Bosh by a narrow margin of 3 votes and was selected as the starter.

The results of the election in the east were basically expected, but in the west, everyone was surprised.

The NBA once again felt the terror of fans from the East.

Since Yi Jianlian was almost elected as the starter in the Eastern Conference in 09, the NBA has begun to dilute the votes in China.

But the voting channel still exists, but it needs to involve a series of operations such as bypassing the wall and registering, which will be more difficult than in the past.

But this year's election results.

In the frontcourt of the Western Conference, Durant (150 million), Howard (92), and Griffin (86) were successfully selected as starters.

The popularity and strength of these three people are at their peak, so there is no surprise in the result of such a vote.

But in the backcourt, everyone was really stunned.

Kobe Bryant (158 million) is the vote leader, but the second guard is Tang Tian!

He got 100 million votes!

This vote is second only to Kobe, James, Durant and Anthony!

92 votes more than Paul (8)!

And it's not just Tang Tian, ​​Jeremy Lin also crushed his teammate Harden (88) with a total of 48 votes, ranking fourth among Western Conference guards!

Tang Tian received nearly 50 votes in the last round of voting, completed an incredible reversal, and became the starting guard in the Western Conference!
