The Godfather of Basketball

Compared with the person who was repeatedly underestimated by the American media in his previous life and who always passed by various honors, Harden's current star career is obviously much smoother. He won the FMVP at the age of 23, and this season's MVP ranking has also successfully entered The top three have just been selected as All-Star starters.

Going to a nightclub is really only a trivial matter for him.

But after watching the whole process as a bystander, Tang Tian knew how he got his eyes.

It's not because of Artest's elbow, or that elbow just allowed Harden to master the "touch porcelain" skill. What really made Harden "eye-catching" was his habit of going to nightclubs.

The NBA is the highest arena in basketball, where any details will be infinitely magnified, just like Harden, spending a lot of spare energy on nightclubs, which made him unable to maintain his full concentration on the court.

Not only his mental state, but also his physical strength have been greatly affected. In order to maintain the output of the offensive end, he can only sacrifice defense. Moved.

Think about the transformation of Harden from "eye-catching" to MVP in his previous life, which happened after he left Kardashian and quit the habit of going to nightclubs. After such a correspondence, everything is clear.

And in this case, it's really useless for anyone to persuade you, only you will turn back when you hit the south wall.

Tang Tian suddenly felt that the future playoffs would really be a big challenge for Stevens.

Although both the Heat and the Cavaliers have weakened, Harden's defense will be infinitely magnified in the playoffs, let alone the Spurs who have continuously strengthened Danny Green and Boris Diaw this season. It's not that easy.

When the time came to February, Stern officially held a press conference and announced his retirement. The new president of the league will be Adam Silver.

On such an occasion, Tang Tian also spared time to go, bid farewell to Stern and welcome Xiao Hua, this is a very important historical moment.

"David, I will miss you." At the press conference, Tang Tian smiled and hugged Stern, as if embracing an era.

"Coach, we look forward to your return. This league needs you." Xiao Hua is very good at speaking, and his words to Tang Tian are full of respect.

Attending the press conference, this is Tang Tian's moment reappearing in the public eye for half a year, attracting the attention of a large number of reporters.

He also greeted the interview with a smile, but he basically avoided the league matters. He is resting at home now, so it is really not suitable to mention these things.

He did not hide anything about his life, and revealed that he would welcome two children in the near future. Such good news also made the media excited.

As for the next All-Star Game, he also bluntly said that he will not participate, but will watch the whole process as a TV audience.

After finishing Stern's retirement press conference, Tang Tian returned to his home in Oklahoma City and continued to accompany his two beautiful wives.

The 2014 NBA All-Star Game was held in New Orleans, and this was the first time the All-Stars had settled here.

Anthony Davis, who was selected for the first time, also attracted the infinite attention of the home fans.

Although Tang Tian didn't go to the scene, he really watched the live broadcast of the All-Star Game at home as he said in the previous interview.

Drummond was named the MVP of the rookie game with a record 25 rebounds and 30 points.

Belinelli, who was chased by the Thunder in the summer, won the three-point contest.

And the slam dunk king that followed was really surprising, and I'm afraid it will be forgotten by many people. Wizards point guard Wall became the new slam dunk king after being voted, which stunned Tang Tian a bit.

The last day is the All-Star Game.

Vogel of the Pacers became the head coach of the Eastern team, and on the Western side, Stevens took advantage of the Thunder and became the head coach of the Western team in the second year of his coaching career.

In the end, the Eastern Conference team won the game 163 to 155. Carmelo Anthony scored 30 points and won the All-Star Game MVP honor for the first time in his career.

Anthony Davis only played 9 minutes and scored 5 points and 4 rebounds. His first trip to the All-Star Game was also considered a reward.

Without going to the scene, Tang Tian was basically a spectator. Not to mention the feeling of being out of the way, it felt pretty good.

This can be regarded as another experience in his coaching career.

The All-Star Game ended with great vigor, and the trade deadline that followed, which Tang Tian did not participate in, was an earthquake.

Yao Ming announced his season reimbursement due to an ankle injury, Paul continued to play on and off, the Cavaliers hovered on the edge of the playoffs, and Gilbert directly announced the rebuilding.

Cavaliers head coach Casey announced his resignation.

The Cavaliers traded Chris Paul, Markieff Morris, and a 2014 second-round pick to the Clippers for Kyrie Irving, Anderson Varejao, JR Smith, and the Clippers' 2014 pick. The first round pick!

After completing this deal, the Cavaliers also announced that they have withdrawn from the championship competition this season, and they will rebuild around Irving and Butler.

The Cavaliers had just completed their dynasty two seasons ago. It is embarrassing to announce the reconstruction so soon, and it also puzzled many people in the industry. After all, the Cavaliers are still waiting for Yao Ming to return, and they will still be strong next season.

But according to people familiar with the matter, Gilbert hopes to make a difference next summer, targeting James.

In the contract signed by James and the Heat, there is an option to jump out in the third and fourth years, and Tang Tian, ​​​​who made James leave at the beginning, is no longer in the Cavaliers. The Cavaliers believe that they have enough capital to recruit James back.

However, most media people are not optimistic about the strategy of the Cavaliers. You must know that the Heat are still chasing the championship this season. If they succeed, James has no reason to leave Miami.

Moreover, continuous team changes have a great negative impact on James' commercial value.

In addition to the explosion of the Cavaliers, other transactions have also been carried out one after another.

In order to consolidate the No. 1 position in the East, the Pacers sent the former core Granger and the 2015 second-round pick. What they got was the 76ers' No. 2 pick Evan Turner and Lavoy Allen.

Granger has been conservatively affected by injuries this season, and his state is not as good as before. The deal for Turner was rated as A+.

The Nets, which formed the Big Five at the beginning of the season, performed unsatisfactorily in the first half of the season. They also sought changes, sending old Terry and Reggie Evans, and getting outside scorer Marcus Thornton from the Kings.

Other transactions are trivial in comparison, but it is worth mentioning that Brooks, who was in poor form on the Rockets, was traded to the Nuggets by Morey and left the team three times in 4 years. After Tang Tian left, Morey continued to Show its shrewd side.
