Chapter 702 All-Star

The last day of All-Star Weekend was the All-Star Game, but it was in the evening.

During the day, Tang Tian went to the Manhattan port to confirm some things.

In the afternoon, he went to the airport to pick up Olsen.

It was quite interesting that the last day of All-Star Weekend was usually February 16th, which happened to be Olsen's birthday.

This collision of dates had its pros and cons.

The bad news was that they couldn't properly celebrate Olsen's birthday at home. The good news was that Olsen celebrated her birthday in a different place each time.

After picking up Olsen, Tang Tian took her across the Manhattan River to Madison Square Garden on the opposite bank.

Like the previous two days, there were All-Star promotional activities around the arena during the day.

When Tang Tian appeared at the scene with Olsen, they attracted the attention of a large number of media and fans.

Tang Tian and Olsen were one of the few celebrity couples in the NBA without any scandals, and they rarely made public appearances like this.

Their appearance naturally made them the focus of attention, and it also gave the All-Star Game a good boost.

Moreover, they were both very easygoing with the fans, and they would basically agree to requests for autographs and photos.

Olsen had also become somewhat famous because of *The Martian*, so for some people at the scene who were both basketball and movie fans, it was a huge win.

That night, the All-Star Game kicked off at Madison Square Garden.

Olsen watched the game from the front row.

The opening act was a singer's performance, and after sufficient warm-up, it was followed by the All-Star players' entrance.

First the reserves, then the starters.

When the reserve Howard and the starter Anthony appeared, the cheers from the fans at the scene reached a climax.

The Knicks had performed well this season, and the atmosphere at home was quite intense.

Tang Tian was the last to appear.

However, the host didn't introduce his name.

As the spotlight hit the center of the stage, a person wearing a mask and hat appeared.

And as rhythmic music sounded, he swung his hands and twisted his waist from side to side, directly starting a dance performance.

The cheers from the fans at the scene instantly erupted.

Because this dance was the iconic starting move of breakdancing, top.rock!

The All-Star introductions weren't even finished yet, and everyone could guess who the person performing the dance was.

The fans were excited because Tang Tian actually knew how to breakdance, and he looked quite professional!

This was New York, and breakdancing originated in the Bronx district of New York in the 70s.

Even now, it was the most popular dance on the streets of New York, and the go-to dance for dance battles!

When O'Neal appeared at the 2009 All-Star Game, he also performed a robot dance, and the fans were also very excited at the time.

But it was clear that the impact and resonance brought by the robot dance were not as exciting as this down-to-earth breakdance.

After a starting top.rock, Tang Tian immediately supported himself on the ground and began a more visually stunning foot.work performance.

Slow six-step, faster three-step, and then rotation.

As the difficulty increased, the cheers from the fans at the scene were overwhelming.

This wave of operations was simply amazing.

Especially for a guy who was more than two meters tall, when Tang Tian rotated close to the ground, a large number of fans stood up and cheered with their hands raised high.

Olsen was also very excited.

Perhaps to create a surprise, Tang Tian hadn't told her about his appearance method, and this wave of showmanship also made her very excited.

Breakdancing moves are known for being high-energy, and the two moves that Tang Tian did were basic in ordinary street dance battles.

But his height meant that he could only do this much. More advanced power.move moves couldn't be done without professional training, and they were also prone to injury.

But what he did was already enough, and the atmosphere at the scene was unparalleled.

"Welcome the 2015 NBA All-Star vote leader, Tang~~ Tian!!"

When Tang Tian stood up, the host at the scene shouted Tang Tian's name.

Tang Tian then took off his mask and hat, revealing his face.

The cheers at the scene reached a climax.

Those All-Stars who had already appeared also whistled and applauded.

Yao Ming had also been elected as the vote leader and had participated in many All-Star Games, but he basically didn't score much, and his behavior was very reserved.

But Tang Tian had really subverted their perception of Easterners in the past two years.

Not only did he win the All-Star Game MVP last year, but he also opened this year's show with a breakdance, which was more down-to-earth than most Americans.

Durant was on the sidelines at this time, and he felt a strange pain in his heart when he saw this.

This feeling of only being able to watch his mortal enemy Tang Tian show off was even more uncomfortable than being defeated by Tang Tian before.

After the entrance ceremony, both teams were warming up on the sidelines.

"Tang, your street dance was really cool. When did you learn that?"

Westbrook was the player who loved fashion the most, and he had already taken the initiative to talk to Tang Tian.

"I learned it from Kemba."

Tang Tian replied very honestly.

"He can do that?"

Westbrook wasn't familiar with Walker, so it wasn't surprising that he didn't know.

"Yes, he's a master. He can do power.move moves."

Tang Tian nodded and said.

"You guys are something. I remember you said that Walker learned to break through from you in college, and now he's teaching you breakdancing."

Westbrook said with a smile.

Tang Tian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then couldn't help laughing.

When he exchanged for the low dribble, he "bullied" his good brother Walker and said that Walker's dribbling was learned from him. He didn't expect Westbrook to remember.

The way he said it was very fair. Walker learned his dribbling, and he learned Walker's street dance.

But if Walker heard this, that guy would probably vomit blood on the spot, because both of these things belonged to Walker.

Durant looked at the two people chatting and laughing on the sidelines, and his eyes were about to pop out.

He was so angry!

But it wasn't appropriate for him to get up and call Westbrook over now, because he wasn't participating in the game, he was just sitting in the front row of the audience.

After the players on the court finished warming up, the All-Star Game was about to begin.

The starters from the East and West all appeared on the court one after another.

For the West, it was Curry and Tang Tian in the backcourt, Marc Gasol and Griffin in the frontcourt, and Kobe starting as the small forward.

For the East, it was Wall and Lowry in the backcourt, James and Anthony in the frontcourt, and Butler starting as the small forward.

Tang Tian and Butler were matched up, and they were chatting and laughing.

This was Butler's first All-Star start in his career, two years earlier than in history.

Their hard training at the brothers' training camp was really effective.

Gasol easily jumped over James, kicking off this year's All-Star Game.

Curry came up and gave Tang Tian an assist.

Tang Tian directly pulled up from beyond the arc and shot a three-pointer.

The East team didn't have a proper center, and the West had a clear advantage. They could just shoot casually from the outside.

Anthony's outside three-point answer ball was off, and Gasol protected the defensive rebound before throwing it to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian rushed straight to the frontcourt and performed a tomahawk dunk, eliciting cheers from the crowd.

He scored 5 points with a shot and a dunk at the start!
