After playing the 76ers, the games before the Pelicans' All-Star Game were all over.
After Gasol joined, they played a four-game winning streak, and the record was finally fixed at 48 wins and 12 losses.
This record is second only to the Lakers and Spurs, ranking third in the league.
With the loss of Walker and Butler, and Dedmon's poor condition, the Pelicans' record is arguably excellent.
On February 17, US time, the 2019 NBA All-Star Game officially kicked off in Boston.
The first day is the Masters and Rookie Challenge.
Olson didn't go to Boston with Tang Tian when he raised his baby at home. This day also became Tang Tian's complete private time.
Except for participating in Nike's official promotion in the morning, he was free for the rest of the time.
Walker is also preparing to honor what he said at the end of last year's hard-work brother training camp and ask them to have a big meal.
Although Thompson didn't come, Butler, Davis and Drummond were all there, and they had to get together at night.
It was all right in the afternoon, Tang Tian was going to go to Walker for a walk.
But he hadn't called Walker yet, but he had taken an unexpected call first.
It's Dior.
Dior returned to France not long after the Pelicans won last season.
The two didn't talk much afterwards, but I didn't expect to come to him now.
"I'm also in Boston. Do you have time to come out for an afternoon tea together?"
The French love to drink afternoon tea, and Dior attached great importance to this in the NBA.
This is a very formal invitation.
Tang Tian agreed.
Dior has been his teammate in both the Spurs and the Pelicans, and the two have a good relationship.
When he arrived at the coffee shop, he found out that there were others outside Dior, and he looked like a Frenchman.
He didn't know until after Dior introduced him, this is the president of Dior America.
It seems Dior is not just as easy to find him.
Speaking of which is also normal, Dior was also one of Dior's ambassadors during the Spurs period, and Tang Tang perfume was also given.
Now Dior people find him through Dior, the purpose is self-evident.
After a while of communication, Tang Tian really thought about it. Dior's global spokesperson before was not going to continue to speak, they were looking for a new spokesperson.
Unless a luxury brand values the Chinese market, it would not normally think of a basketball player like Tang Tian.
Like lv, looking for Tang Tian's endorsement, a big reason is to want to expand the Chinese market share.
And Dior will find him. In addition to this reason, there is a big reason, because the major shareholder of Dior is lv.
It's like a marriage, it's the feeling of being close to each other.
Of course, both companies are top 500 companies and are independent.
Dior this time looking for Tang Tian, also hope that he can be a global spokesman for men's perfume.
The president is called David, and he also made preparations and came with a quote on the spot.
50 million in 10 years, 5 million in one year.
This offer is definitely not low.
Turning the old days into business talks was unexpected for Tang Tian.
However, Karl came with him this time in Boston, and Tang Tian asked Carl to come over on a phone call.
As a result, the four were divided into two tables.
On one side, Dior and Tang Tian are talking about the old, and on the other, Carl and David are talking about business.
The old story is almost the same here, and the business is pretty much the same.
Karl's negotiating ability improved a lot over the summer.
He talked about the price from 5 million to 5.5 million.
"I have a condition, I hope to advance the endorsement fee in one go."
Tang Tian offered David a condition.
Nike's sneaker dividends are coming out soon. He doesn't know if it can hit the 100 million yuan gold value, but he wants to try.
But he is still far behind, and before that he can accumulate more gold value is more hope.
"We didn't all advance in advance before, it was 60% at most, but if you speak, I will apply for a trial with the headquarters."
David is still very good at business.
Tang Tian also agreed. This is also his personal wish. It is best to make all the advances, not 60%.
This endorsement was a minor accident on the All-Star weekend.
But Dior was in Boston, and Tang Tian pulled him in at the evening party.
Walker was so drunk by them at night, it was a good indulgence.
The next day, the NBA All-Star Weekend ushered in a singles contest.
The three-pointer contest, which has attracted much attention from fans, will also be held on this day.
Be the first to start a skill challenge.
Finally, Tatum, who fought at home, overwhelmed his opponents and successfully won the skill challenge championship.
After the Celtics got Walker this year, not only did the team's record improve, but their fortunes have improved.
After the skill challenge, the three-pointer competition will follow.
However, before the official start, there is also a famous three-point game link.
Dale Curry, Reggie Miller, Ray Allen, Mark Price, Glen Rice, these five places were invited to the scene.
Each of them is responsible for a point and a five-ball contest.
This thermal field link was newly established this year, the purpose is to use the thermal field.
This session also made fans and spectators look forward to ~ www.novelhall.com ~ to know that these people were the top three-point shooters during the player period.
Especially Miller and Ray Allen, these are the top two players in three-point shooting.
But now that they have retired for so many years, like Curry and Glen Rice who have been enjoying life since they retired, they are obviously blessed.
Whether they are old or not, is also very interesting and worthy of attention.
Rice was in charge of the first point, and as the referee whistle started, he also started his own shot.
"Oh!"
He scored the first goal, which instantly lit the atmosphere.
In the end he scored 3 of 5 goals and performed quite well.
It seems that although he is blessed, his kung fu has not diminished at all.
Rice filled the expectations of the fans, but no one of them expected that he was already the pinnacle of these veterans.
Price in the second point and Curry in the third point all scored only one goal.
Ray Allen in the fourth point lost all five shots!
Miller saved his face a little bit at the last point, but only scored 2 goals.
As a result, at 5 points, they only scored 10 points in total.
Sure enough, the years are not forgiving, even the strongest shooter and the best hand work, really reach a certain age, can only be more spectators.
This warm-up three-pointer messed up, but it was entertaining and made fans look forward to the next race.
People have seen bad, they always want to look good.
Curry, Tang Tian, Lillard, Walker, Nowitzki ... players were introduced one after another.
The cheers at the scene could not be stopped.
Although Thompson did not participate this year, it was a little regrettable. However, Tang Tian's participation in the dunk contest last year made it the most classic in history. They also look forward to Tang Tian's performance in the three-pointer contest this year.
