At this moment, Tatum stepped up, stabilizing the United States team with a three-pointer and a slam dunk, and then teamed up with Mitchell for a 6-0 run to widen the gap again.
Hansen couldn't help but smile at this point.
Tatum and Doncic, these two guys might very well become lifelong rivals in the future.
The United States team ultimately defeated the World Team 161-144. Kuzma scored 35 points to earn the MVP, Tatum recorded 30 points and 9 rebounds, while Mitchell contributed 20 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, and 5 steals.
When the game ended, Tatum approached Hansen with a slight look of regret on his face: "I didn't get it."
Hansen smiled, patting Tatum's shoulder: "I've already seen what I wanted to see."
What mattered wasn't whether Tatum actually got the MVP; what mattered was the aggression, or rather the killer instinct, he showed in the third quarter, which was exactly what Hansen wanted to see.
