All-Star Weekend came to a boisterous end.

A three-point contest, a shared MVP.

The post-game buzz among fans was higher than in previous years.

…

"Tang is too vicious, using such insidious tricks to screw over the Lakers when he can't beat them! He doesn't deserve to be the league's number one!"

"The Lakers have been undermined from within, Durant is probably going to betray them again!"

"Once a person tries something new and discovers its deliciousness, they become addicted, like applause, like winning."

"Durant will definitely defect, just look at the contract he signed in the summer, 1+1, and then look at LeBron's contract, a 4-year long-term deal, there's a difference between people!"

"Poor LeBron, he didn't find the right person, he might as well have found Leonard!"

"Exactly, George and Butler are better! At least they won't defect!"

…

After the All-Star Game, Durant, in a good mood, threw a party for his friends in Boston.

When he woke up the next day, it was already afternoon. He took out his phone and saw the comments on Twitter, and was stunned for a long time.

According to his usual personality, he would definitely clap back at anyone who flamed him.

But these comments, these misunderstandings, gave him an unspeakable sense of discomfort.

It was like when Green said to him, "We were already champions before you came."

These comments really gave him a sense of disgust from the bottom of his heart.

He came to the Lakers to defeat Tang Tian, ​​he had already said this publicly in previous interviews with the media, and he did so in the games.

But now, just because he and Tang Tian shared an Amvp, these people were going to attack him with such vicious language?

His contract, the 1+1 contract he signed in the summer, wasn't it for the Lakers to have better signings?!

Leonard? George and Butler? In the free market at the time, it was impossible for Leonard to switch teams, and George and Butler were unwilling to go to Los Angeles. He saved the Lakers!

But now, before the season is over, these people are describing him like this.

Is it his fault that he and Tang Tian play well together?!

…

Fans were talking about it online, but Tang Tian didn't pay much attention.

He happily won the three-point king at the All-Star Game and also completed the Amvp six-peat. Good news came one after another.

And the good news didn't stop there. Just as the All-Star Game ended, David brought him another piece of good news.

Out of recognition of Tang Tian, ​​they were willing to meet Tang Tian's conditions.

In other words, Tang Tian could pre-pay all 55 million of his endorsement salary in one lump sum after signing the endorsement contract.

This was definitely good news for Tang Tian.

With the conditions negotiated, the signing between the two parties was quickly completed.

And Dio Company's actions were really fast. They immediately replaced the website spokesperson and quickly launched advertisements through the popular TikTok.

Millions of hits in one day, Tang Tian's influence was evident.

Dio definitely wasn't at a loss with this move.

For Tang Tian, ​​he just had to wait for the endorsement fee to be credited to his account.

And that wasn't the only good news he had. After the time reached the end of February, Nike's dividends were about to come out.

Last year he received a full 42 million in dividends, and this year that number was expected to go even higher.

It just depended on whether this wave could unlock the golden skill.

However, it would still take time for this money to be credited to his account, and his focus was still on the game.

In the first game after the All-Star Game, the Pelicans hosted the Toronto Raptors at home.

The Raptors were now second in the East, and the "trash brothers" DeRozan and Lowry were still performing bravely in the regular season.

The game was very intense in the first quarter, but after entering the second quarter, the Pelicans' bench exerted their strength to widen the score, and the starters made another wave, and the outcome was decided in the first half.

In the end, the Pelicans easily defeated the Raptors 121-99, ushering in their first win after the All-Star Game, and also a five-game winning streak.

Tang Tian had a triple-double with 37 points, 11 rebounds and 13 assists, Green made 5 three-pointers and had 15 points, and Davis had 13 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks.

Gasol played bravely against Valanciunas in this game, scoring 15+10 in three quarters, and also made 2 three-pointers.

As the game deepened, his condition was getting better and better.

This was the difference between teams.

The Grizzlies were tanking this season, and the so-called tanking was to focus on losing games and then get a high draft pick next year.

Gasol couldn't help the team win, he played casually on the court, and he got less and less energy as he played.

But when he arrived at a championship-contending team like the Pelicans, his motivation and fighting spirit were reignited.

In addition, with the Pelicans' excellent coaching staff, his condition was visibly recovering.

It was a pity for the Raptors fans, who coveted Gasol, but now they could only watch Gasol play better and better with the Pelicans.

After two days of rest, the Pelicans ushered in a home back-to-back game, playing against the Bucks and the Suns in succession.

The Bucks were now at the top of the Eastern Conference, and the Suns were also ranked ninth in the Western Conference, working hard to make the playoffs.

These two games were quite challenging for the Pelicans.

The game against the Bucks was fierce. The Bucks had a quasi-five-star lineup this season, and Antetokounmpo had developed a certain amount of shooting ability.

Whether in terms of paper strength or actual record, they were in the same tier as the Lakers, Spurs and Pelicans.

The game went all the way to the final moments before the winner was decided. Tang first assisted Gasol to hit a three-pointer from outside, and then he scored a deadly 2+1 to kill the game.

The Pelicans defeated the Bucks 112-105, extending their winning streak to 6 games.

Tang had 46 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists, Brogdon had 16 points, Davis had 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Green had 12 points.

Gasol continued his excellent performance, scoring 14 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks efficiently on 5 of 10 shots.

And his defense well restricted Horford and Antetokounmpo's performance in the paint.

The next day against the Suns, although it was a back-to-back, the Pelicans were much stronger than the Suns.

And Gasol used his experience to play against rookie Ayton, and he was accurate every time.

The Pelicans players realized this and frequently fed him the ball.

As a result, this night became Gasol's season night.

He played 35 minutes in the game, a season high.

He scored 30 points, also a season high!

30 points, 13 rebounds, 6 assists and 3 blocks, Gasol was having a second spring!

After the game, fans inevitably had a heated discussion on social media.

"The Pelicans are really a magical place, last season's Rose, this season's Gasol, have all been reborn here!"

"This is the team culture. Since Tang came to New Orleans, this culture has been gradually formed!"

"No wonder George and the others wanted to go to the Pelicans so badly before. Coach Stevens is excellent, and Tang, as the core, can carry the team and is willing to share the ball~"

"It feels like the Pelicans are the new Spurs, making the best use of everything, and everyone can exert their maximum strength!"

"I heard that Tang likes to touch other people's heads on the team. Was this contagious from Duncan?"

"Spurs culture, Tang said it before, 101 head touches."

"Touch your head, 101 taps, taps! Rock theory!"

"Regardless of 101 times what, 101 times a night is fine, the key is the culture, the Pelicans will become a popular destination for free agents."

"Like Durant next summer?"

…

Fans were discussing on social media.

Tang looked at it this time, and he couldn't help laughing as he watched. He had to say that these fans on social media were all talented people.

Just as he was watching, his phone vibrated several times in a row.

The message reminder showed that several payments had been credited to his account.
