With his selection of the exchange, new understandings about the crossover step flooded his mind.

The Chuanhua Butterfly Step (穿花蝴蝶步), in fact, like the crossover, is a technique extended from the crossover step.

He then opened his attribute panel.

He hadn't used the system in a long time, and the attribute panel felt particularly warm now, rather than just filling words.

(Note: The range of each attribute is 0~100, and the attribute is related to physical fitness, basketball IQ, etc.)

In the past two years, in addition to the bonus brought by skills, Tang Tian has improved many basic attributes through training during the season and offseason.

And this time, the biggest change in attributes from exchanging the Chuanhua Butterfly Step (穿花蝴蝶步) is ball control and layup, both of which have been raised to the 90 level.

If he wasn't so tall, this attribute would be even higher.

But even so, it's already perverted enough.

In other words, after making up for the weakness of ball control, he has become a real 360° no dead angle player.

What he needs to do next is to steadily improve his basic attributes, and then start a fancy spending spree, showing off in every way possible.

Moreover, the arrival time of this spending value, although a little late, is not too late.

Because the previous foundation was well laid, he only needs to make good use of these three days to adapt to the improved ball control ability.

Especially the passive skill "Wu Chu Qi You" (无出其右), which is a very unique and explosive way of scoring.

Or rather, that was a major reason why Iverson was loved and even obsessed over by fans back then.

While the Pelicans were preparing, at the same time, the Mavericks were doing the same in Dallas.

On social media, many fans have voiced their support for the Mavericks.

They hope the Mavericks can defeat the Pelicans, the "public enemy of the league," and give other teams a glimmer of hope, and give the NBA a little more possibility.

In other words, the Mavericks are carrying the hopes of the entire league in this game.

If they can win, the popularity they gain will be historic.

So their desire to win is no less than that of the Pelicans.

In fact, they are quite confident in themselves.

The Mavericks' interior core, Embiid, is a Twitter addict.

During the offseason, a photo of him stroking an African lion in Nigeria garnered crazy likes and reposts from fans.

That also earned him the domineering nickname "The Great Emperor."

And one of the big reasons why a photo could trigger so many subsequent events, besides the photo itself, is that he has a high Twitter popularity.

From flirting with Rihanna when he entered the league, to his verbal interactions with Whiteside on and off the court, to stroking lions.

Embiid's activity on Twitter is no less than Durant's.

The only difference between him and Durant is that he always speaks with his real account.

This time is no exception.

As the game against the Pelicans draws closer, more and more fans are leaving messages on his Twitter.

Embiid is also showing his Twitter addict colors, basically replying to each one.

"Joel, the Pelicans are very strong, how do you evaluate this team?"

"A bunch of people who are grouped together, who lost the essence of basketball in order to win, a team that is of no interest to people."

...

"Joel, are you confident in defeating them?"

"Of course, we can defeat any opponent, they are not the first nor the last, just the next."

...

"Joel, does Coach Carlisle have any defensive tactics against Tang? The Rockets were destroyed by Tang alone before."

"There will be, Coach Carlisle can do anything, he is the best coach in this league, without exception."

...

"Joel, you're about to play against former teammate Butler, what do you want to say to him?"

"Without you, we're better off."

"Isn't that a bit too much to say? After all, you were once teammates."

"No, our current record says it all."

...

Like when he ran into Tang Tian in Nigeria, Embiid is the kind of person who expresses all his emotions on the surface, and he is really tough.

Moreover, as the time he spends in the NBA increases and his strength becomes stronger, this personality has become even more prominent.

The day before Thanksgiving, the entire Pelicans team boarded a plane to Dallas.

With the increasing development of technology, you can now connect to wifi on airplanes, and players have more entertainment options on airplanes.

Walker and Brogdon were playing games online together;

Bojan was playing Texas Hold'em online;

Butler was browsing social media.

Tang was more relaxed, reading the newspaper for a while, then looking out the window for a while, and then turned back to see Butler frowning as he looked at his phone.

He glanced at the phone and saw Embiid's Twitter.

He had already seen those, and speaking of which, Embiid and Green are really a bit alike.

It's just that one is a big mouth on Twitter, and the other is a big mouth in front of reporters.

"Don't worry, we'll win."

Butler has been paying attention to this game since the beginning of November, and Tang Tian knew that he had been under a lot of psychological pressure, so he reached out and touched his head.

Butler nodded and then put his phone away.

"Jimmy, we're going to shut that guy up."

Walker had finished playing the game at this time, and also came over and reached out to touch Butler's head.

But soon, he was grabbed by Butler and touched back.

Besides Tang Tian, no one else can touch his head casually, not even Walker.

The two "wrestled" together on the plane, and the teammates around them cheered.

Tang Tian shook his head with a smile as he looked at the two of them.

Speaking of which, although Embiid is a big mouth like Green, he is more fierce and disdainful of using low-down moves like kicking eggs.

In other words, if you want to shut him up, you have to defeat him head-on for him to be convinced.

Originally, this was a difficult thing, Embiid's interior strength is still very strong.

But now the situation is different.

With the Chuanhua Butterfly Step (穿花蝴蝶步), Tang Tian can really teach Embiid a lesson this time.
