Braised Eggplant with Minced Pork
Chapter 1079 Zhan-Du: A Meeting of Minds
Alexander looked very excited, even more so than when he had heard Tang Tian say he would sign something for him.
"I want to tell you, Angela, your mother is great, and you will definitely grow up healthy and happy."
Tang Tian said as he handed the sneakers to Alexander.
Alexander nodded excitedly, and his mother was already in tears.
For them, this was definitely the most unforgettable night of their lives.
After giving away the signed sneakers, this year's dunk contest ended, and this day's All-Star Saturday also came to an end.
With two days of competition completed, only the final day's All-Star game remained.
Fans on social media also began to discuss the topic of tomorrow's All-Star game.
However, at this time, a message released by the Tang Tian Foundation also attracted the attention of fans.
They had already provided social assistance to Angela Alexander, and at the request of the founder, Tang Tian, they would provide subsequent assistance to this type of group.
This type of group referred to children born with terminal illnesses.
With the development of modern technology, many deformed children can be avoided during prenatal examinations, but many diseases are still unavoidable.
Such as children like Alexander.
Being born with terminal illnesses like leukemia is a devastating blow not only to the children themselves but also to their families.
This initiative was cheered by many fans, and the foundation also received donations from many caring people.
Tang Tian initially relied on his own strength to help others, but now he is using his influence to help others.
Compared to the beginning, this method is obviously more efficient.
On the third day of the All-Star Weekend, after fans had waited long enough, the 2018 NBA All-Star Game would kick off at the Staples Center.
The All-Star game was in the evening, and the daytime was a fan and player meet-and-greet arranged by the league.
Tang Tian and Walker, along with Drummond, a total of the "Seven Brothers of Hard Work," participated in the fan meet-and-greet.
Tall, short, fat, thin, with different personalities, they really felt like the Seven Brothers of Calabash.
"Tang, will you win tonight?"
A fan shouted at Tang Tian and the others.
"Of course, we will win."
Tang Tian didn't speak, but Butler answered for him.
"If you win, I'll treat you to a carnival at the bar!"
Thompson echoed.
Not only in number but also in personality, they matched the Seven Brothers of Calabash.
Davis was the eldest brother, simple in personality and full of fighting spirit at all times.
Walker was the second brother, gentle and intelligent, a sentimental artist.
Tang Tian was the third brother, strong and tenacious, with explosive combat power.
Butler was the fourth brother, angry and indignant, hating evil like an enemy.
Drummond was the fifth brother, peaceful and introverted, full of defensiveness.
Thompson was the sixth brother, cheerful and lively, free and unrestrained.
Irving was the seventh brother, good at thinking, and willing to correct mistakes.
Because of Tang Tian, and because of the Seven Brothers, the fans gathered on their side were the most numerous.
The second most was the adjacent venue, where James and Durant stood together.
James admired Durant, this younger generation, quite a bit, which could be seen from the fact that he put Durant as his first choice when forming the team.
Durant also had a bit of mutual appreciation for James, and the two looked very tacit.
Lakers owner Jeanie Buss also appeared on the scene.
When she saw James and Durant, her eyes were full of hope.
In the blueprint that Linda had designed for her for next season, these two were the most important players.
The most ideal situation, the so-called ultra-A plan, was to recruit these two monsters to the Lakers together.
Although this seemed unrealistic, judging from the tacit understanding between the two in off-court activities, this seemed to be a combination with potential.
The third most fans were around Curry.
He looked to be in a normal mood.
Durant went to James, and Thompson went to Tang Tian. With neither his new love nor old love by his side, he was all alone at the moment.
The details of the stars' interactions sparked speculation.
In addition to interacting, fans were increasingly looking forward to the evening's game.
That night, the Staples Center was packed.
The fans' emotions were very high, and they were constantly talking and discussing.
The word "dunk" appeared with considerable frequency, showing that they had not yet recovered from yesterday's dunk contest.
According to social media statistics, yesterday's topic of the dunk contest set a new historical high, even higher than last year's Finals.
The absolutely epic dunk contest had become a classic among classics.
However, when the arena entered the All-Star entrance ceremony, the fans in the arena stopped talking and looked at the court.
Team James and Team Tang Tian.
Although the teams were different, the entrance ceremony was similar to before.
First the substitutes, then the starters, first Team James, then Team Tang Tian.
Tang Tian was the last to appear.
The decibels of the cheers in the arena reached their peak at the moment he appeared.
Although it was generally believed that Team Tang Tian had basically no chance of winning, when the game was about to start, the fans' support for Team Tang Tian was obviously higher.
This was also expected.
Team James' lineup was simply the ultimate in teaming up.
In contrast, although Team Tang Tian had the "Seven Brothers of Hard Work," on paper, it was really not enough to see.
Fans liked to see classic underdog stories, where the weak defeat the strong.
So they instinctively leaned towards Team Tang Tian.
The starters from both sides took the court, and Antetokounmpo used his long arms to flick the ball away from Davis' fingertips, winning the first offensive opportunity for James.
Curry dribbled the ball past half court and passed it to James, who organized at the top of the arc.
Curry and Durant ran pick-and-rolls on both sides.
Lu was using the Warriors' set of plays on the All-Star stage.
Team Tang Tian's defense was very well in place.
Although the game had just started, the signal that fans received immediately was that both teams were playing for real!
This game was going to be good.
Curry and Durant's off-ball movement restrained Team Tang Tian's defensive attention, and James suddenly dribbled the ball towards the basket.
It had to be said that James, this enhanced version of Green, was much more threatening with the ball at the top of the arc than the original Green.
Butler was struggling a bit in a one-on-one match, and Davis retreated to help defend.
At that moment, James suddenly passed the ball to the right side while moving.
This pass came very suddenly, and James only glanced at it.
But the ball arrived, and Durant arrived.
Durant stopped abruptly after hitting the ball and took a mid-range shot.
"Swish!"
With a crisp sound, the basketball steadily entered the basket.
Durant scored the first points for Team James.
A burst of cheers rang out in the arena.
As the league's number one and number two small forwards, although it was the first time the two had played together on the court, their tacit understanding was directly at a perfect level.
This was a manifestation of individual ability. Both of them had their own systems and could seamlessly integrate.
In the stands, the smile on Jeanie Buss' face could no longer be concealed.
From yesterday to today, James and Durant seemed to be not only tacit off the court, but also on the court.
