That block left Durant completely dazed.
He dodged Tang Tian's steal, but he could not dodge Tang Tian's block!
After the block, China Team launched a fast break, but Butler reacted quickly and slapped the ball out of bounds.
Although he stopped China Team's fast break, that block dealt a huge blow to USA Team's morale.
They had watched Green give Durant that whole motivational speech during the half-time break, trying to fire him up, but that possession proved it was... completely useless.

Only the two of them knew what they were thinking, while the fans at courtside only wanted to cheer and shout for Tang Tian.
Starting from the latter half of the second quarter, Tang Tian had forced China Team to suppress USA Team!

On USA Team's possession, Anthony missed a turnaround jumper, but Chandler made up for it by grabbing the offensive rebound and passing to Durant.
