Besides the basketball star, all the brands Tang Tian endorsed successively announced that they would launch special 102-point edition products in the future.

Nike, for example, officially announced that it would launch a limited edition of the "Godfather 5" 102-point version along with the fifth generation of "Godfather" shoes in the summer.

Dior perfume, which Tang Tian had just endorsed, moved even faster, and would launch a special 102-point edition next month.

The fastest was Durex, which had already started advertising with the 102-point theme, and was expected to sell products printed with the number 102 in the coming week.

As for whether it was 102 minutes at a time or 102 times a night, that was not so important.

However, the most distinctive was LV, who contacted Tang Tian's team as soon as possible and launched a special logo.

LV laid the V halfway down, then connected it to the L, adding a semicircle in the middle to create a symbol that looked very much like the number 102.

It has to be said that the sponsors were really fast and accurate in蹭热度 (ceng re du, riding the wave of popularity).

The situation was even more exaggerated in China. Not only did CCTV-5 produce a special report on Tang Tian's 102 points, but even the news channel broadcast the news.

This was no longer just a matter for basketball fans, but a major event that shook the whole country.

Of course, this "whole country" could be extended to the world.

Tang Tian scoring 102 points was like Ronaldo scoring 20 goals in a La Liga match. Just hearing or seeing the news was shocking enough.

Moreover, this effect lasted for a long time.

Not only in the period after the game, but it was frequently discussed by fans and the media during the remaining month or so of the regular season.

Many people called this the 102-point effect.

The popularity it brought was enduring.

After scoring 102 points, something that many fans noticed, but might not be mentioned much in the future, was Tang Tian's stats in the next game.

In fact, after this epic battle, Stevens began his end-of-season rotation plan.

In the game three days later, Davis was absent due to hip tightness, but Tang Tian still played.

The opponent was the Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves were currently ranked eleventh in the Western Conference, still striving to make the playoffs.

The first half of this game was also very intense, but in the third quarter, the Timberwolves suddenly fell into a scoring drought, and the Pelicans quickly widened the score gap.

Originally, they were only 9 points behind at halftime, but by the end of the third quarter, the difference had been widened to 25 points.

The "Wolf Three Collapse" lived up to its name.

Towns efficiently scored 25 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks, and 2 steals, but Wiggins only had 15 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists, and only 4 of 17 shots.

Tang Tian played only three quarters, making 11 of 16 shots for 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 7 assists.

Efficiently getting this score in three quarters was already excellent enough.

However, compared to the previous 102 points, it seemed insignificant, and as said at the beginning, it would rarely be mentioned in the future.

After playing the Timberwolves, the Pelicans rested for a day and then faced the Nets.

Davis recovered from his hip tightness injury, while Tang Tian was absent from the game for "basketball reasons."

Stevens' rotation coincided with Popovich's.

However, this was not the first time he had done this. He had always done this in the past: let the main players rest, and then mobilize the state of the substitute players.

And this was indeed very effective.

At the beginning of the rotation plan, Alexander, Kuzma, Harrell and other core rotation players got opportunities first.

They also repaid Stevens with excellent performances.

Alexander scored 27 points and 13 assists against the Thunder, making a name for himself in one battle.

Kuzma surprised everyone by snatching 40 points against the Wizards.

Harrell contributed double-doubles continuously, playing quite steadily.

Next were Ding Yanyuhang, Carter, Robinson and other bench players.

Ding Yanyuhang scored in double figures for 5 consecutive games, Carter played his remaining heat and his three-pointers and dunks attracted enough attention, and although Robinson had many fouls, his average of nearly 3 blocks per game made fans cheer.

Also in the last few games of the season, Stevens began to give Anthony playing time, and also developed some corresponding defensive systems for him.

It has to be said that Stevens has the courage and patience to do his best for everyone on the team.

However, this is also his forte.

Although not every bench player will get a chance in the playoffs, anything can happen in the playoffs.

Records have never been so important in his eyes. He does this entirely for emergencies.

Time flies, and it is mid-April in a blink of an eye.

The 2018~2019 season regular season comes to an end.

The rankings of the Eastern and Western Conference teams are finally released.

In the East, the Bucks stand out, achieving a historic 65 wins and 17 losses, which also ranks third in the league.

Antetokounmpo also played the best season since he joined the NBA.

Averaging 27.7 points, 12 rebounds, 6.1 assists, and 57% shooting, he is one of the strong contenders for the season MVP.

The Raptors followed closely with a record of 53 wins and 29 losses.

It can be seen from the wins that the Bucks are not in the same class as other teams.

The Celtics ranked third with a record of 52 wins and 30 losses.

Walker averaged 26.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 46.3% shooting, and 38% three-point shooting.

He broke the doubts that many fans had about him last season and played the most brilliant season of his career.

Ainge's kneeling licking for two consecutive years finally ushered in a perfect ending.

The Nets ranked fourth with a record of 48 wins and 34 losses.

After Yi Jianlian changed his style of play, in his 12th season in the NBA, he could still contribute 11.2 points and 7.2 rebounds per game, with a three-point shooting rate of 37%.

The Pacers ranked fifth with a record of 45 wins and 37 losses.

Although they lost George and Middleton continuously, the combination of Ball and Bojan played very well.

Especially Bojan, from the bench of the Pelicans to the starting lineup of the Pacers, averaged a career-high 18 points, performing very well.

Bird, the former president and legend of the Pacers, liked him very much, and said more than once on social media that he would lend him his private jet.

The Pistons ranked sixth with a record of 44 wins and 38 losses.

Andre Drummond's joining the "bitter training brothers" has finally paid off after 7 years.

Averaging 21.6 points, 17 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.7 blocks, with a shooting percentage as high as 61%.

If it weren't for the team's relatively poor record, he would also be one of the contenders for the MVP.

The Magic ranked seventh with a record of 40 wins and 42 losses.

Vucevic performed well, averaging 20+12+4, with a shooting percentage of 51%.

This is also the first time the Magic have returned to the playoffs in 8 years since Howard left.

The Bulls ranked eighth in the Eastern Conference with a record of 38 wins and 44 losses.

The weakness of the East, coupled with the outstanding performance of the LaVine-Booker Gemini, the Bulls finally successfully entered the playoffs.

For Chicago fans, after Rose and Butler left one after another, they can once again feel the atmosphere of the playoffs.
