Demps replied that he would try hard.

But obviously, this kind of thing is not something that can be done overnight.

Before I knew it, it was January 24th.

Tang Tian has basically recovered, and he participated in the team's joint training this morning.

At the end of the joint practice, he has obtained the permission of the team doctor, and he can play directly on the court in the next game against the Grizzlies.

At noon on this day, the league officially announced the final voting results of the All-Star selection.

This result has attracted the attention of countless people.

In addition to who is selected, whether Tang Tian can become the all-star vote king is also the focus of attention.

You must know that domestic fans have gone crazy during this time because of the fact that they can't vote.

However, when the final votes came out, everyone was stunned.

Eastern starters: Irving (800,000), Wade (890,000), George (1.13 million), Anthony (900,000), James (1.3 million)

Western starters: Curry (960,000), Kobe (1.15 million), Durant (1.1 million), Griffin (600,000), Tang Tian (1.9 million)

Tang Tian got a total of 1.9 million votes, with a crushing advantage of 600,000 over the second place James (1.3 million votes), and became the All-Star vote king!

The league's restrictions on fan voting in China have not done anything, but have made the gap even wider!

Xiao Hua was stunned when he saw this result.

It was nothing like he expected!

On the contrary, because of the restrictions on voting on the Chinese side, everyone else received fewer votes than expected!

This time, the fans on social media were completely high.

"My friends in China said they couldn't vote for All-Star votes in the past two weeks!"

"Yes, I saw a lot of Chinese students complaining on Twitter that the NBA is really lowering the image of the league by doing this!"

"But I want to laugh now! Because of such restrictions, Don's votes have increased more than anyone else, and much more! ”

"How does this work? Although I like this result, it really doesn't seem reasonable! ”

"I have the most say in this area, I am a college student in Connecticut, I didn't pay much attention to this year's All-Star, but after hearing that Don had the opportunity to become the All-Star vote king, I voted directly, he is our pride!"

"I have a say, I'm not a fan, but because this year's NBA All-Star Game is in New Orleans! I don and AD both voted! ”

"And me, those Chinese students in China couldn't vote, they retweeted this matter to Twitter, and many of their friends started to vote for Tang because they were unhappy with the NBA's approach!"

"Haha, so to speak, this is a revenge vote?!"

"In other words, the NBA has really gone too far this time, the rules are set by you, the restrictions have been very good before, and now they are still blocked!"

"Maybe they really don't want the Chinese market! After all, enough money is made! ”

"When did Stern become so short-sighted?!"

"Forget it, it's okay if you don't look at such an alliance!"

……

From the comments of fans on social media, it can be seen that there are many reasons for Tang Tian's voting result.

And it is true that a large part of it is a revenge vote.

But beyond the result itself, fans are more questioning the league's practices, and the spread of negative rhetoric including "it's okay if the NBA doesn't watch", the league has suffered a very big crisis of confidence.

"Do you want me to pull down my old face and let the League Office choose a new successor?"

In the office of the president of the alliance, Stern finally got angry with Xiao Hua.

This has done a lot of damage to the image of the alliance.

Xiao Hua didn't dare to put a fart at this time, he originally thought that the ban on China was not a big deal, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big reaction in China.

"I'm going to appoint Tyum as the Alliance's Chief Vice President, and I'm going to consult with the Alliance's Office to add a one-year presidential observation period, and if you do something like this, they have the right to request a change in the president."

Stern said directly to Xiao Hua.

Xiao Hua didn't refute anything at this time except gritting his teeth and nodding.

At this time, if he dared to refute, Stern would really dare to tear his face with him without losing face.

The day after the All-Star voting ended, the league made an announcement.

"Because of the technical glitch in the background, coupled with the negligence of the vote tellers, the league has not found that the Chinese fans cannot vote, and the league has fired the relevant staff, apologized to the Chinese fans, and promised that such a situation will not occur again in the future."

This announcement is official, but it can also be regarded as a statement of the alliance.

But no matter what, after Tang Tian became an all-star starter last year, he became an all-star ticket king this year!

It's really a footprint a year.

The election king was worthy of joy, and Tang Tian invited his teammates to have a big meal that night.

However, after this meal, the matter of the ticket king was temporarily put behind him.

The Pelicans have a bit of a bad record during this period of his injury, and getting the team back into the playoffs is what is more important at the moment.

On January 25, the Pelicans sat at home and welcomed the Grizzlies to the game.

The two teams have played each other twice before, once Tang Tian played, once Tang Tian did not play, and both times lost.

The Grizzlies' record this season is not particularly good, but they have a strong ability to play tough battles, and because of their great interior advantage, they are a bit of a Pelicans.

In the pre-match TNT program, the Big Three discussed Tang Tian's form after returning from injury.

"I wouldn't choose to come back in a game like this, against those Memphis guys, if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin."

Kenny Smith complained about Tang Tian's comeback choice on the show, and the Grizzlies have established a strong style of play in recent years, which really makes opponents daunting.

"Actually, I'm quite worried about Don's state, his style of play is still biased and projection-oriented, and shoulder injuries will have a great impact on this type of player."

Buckley expressed his concern about Tang Tian on the show.

'He's not your average player, I believe in him.

O'Neal's remarks made Barkley and Smith laugh directly.

Once bitten by a snake, he was afraid of the well rope for ten years.

Since O'Neill lost the bet last time and wore a pink dress, he has begun to become a complete pro-Tang faction, and even a little brainless.

"And they've just suffered a five-game losing streak, and they really need him."

O'Neill, in order to cover himself, then added.

Barkley and Smith nodded, and O'Neal was right.

Tang Tian's comeback is equivalent to the return of the backbone, and whether he can win this game is actually very important.

TNT built momentum for Tang Tian's comeback match, and the match also attracted heated discussions among fans before the game.

However, in addition to the fact that this is Tang Tian's comeback battle, there is another reason that the person who defends Tang Tian will be Tony Allen.

Allen was selected for the defensive team for two consecutive seasons in 2011~2013, and is still the second best defender in the league to Tang Tian.

In the match between the two teams in November, Tang Tian's hit rate was less than 40%.

The confrontation between the two is also very interesting.
