Chapter 944 Season Harvest Warriors
The game between the Pelicans and Rockets finally came to an end.
At the same time, the Eastern and Western Conference semifinals have also concluded.
Over in the East, the Cavaliers once again swept the Hawks 4-0.
Budenholzer was beaten to the point where he doubted his life.
Tang Tian's former first assistant coach and former best head coach has entered the countdown to leaving the Eagles.
The Knicks defeated the Raptors 4-1.
The trash brothers still failed to take off the hat that was placed on their heads. For the nth time, the Raptors performed like a bug in the regular season and playoffs.
The Warriors swept the Spurs 4-0.
After Leonard was injured, the Spurs completely lost the capital to compete with the Warriors. This result was also expected.
In this way, the matchups for the Eastern and Western finals have been determined.
It is still the four teams from last year that advance to the conference finals.
The Cavaliers and Knicks in the East, the Pelicans and Warriors in the West.
The Knicks have enough capital to pose a threat to the Cavaliers this year, and the Pelicans and Warriors will have a truly epic showdown.
The defending champion Pelicans have scored 70+ points for two consecutive seasons, ranking first in the league and almost in history;
With four top stars, including the league's top point guard and top two small forward, the Warriors are a rare four-star team in history.
Coupled with the intensity of the early-century confrontation that is highly entertaining to watch.
No matter how you look at it, this is the most exciting series in the league in the past ten or even twenty years.
In fact, at the moment the matchup was confirmed, all the tickets for this round of the two teams were cleared, and the scalper market was even more popular than ever.
And this is also the ultimate showdown between superstar basketball and team basketball.
The game hasn't started yet, but the ratings predictions given by major media are all super high.
At this time, the league announced the fourth batch of awards for the season.
There is still only one award this time, the league's best general manager.
Bob Myers of the Warriors defeated Knicks general manager Steve Mills and Cavaliers general manager David Griffin to be elected General Manager of the Season for the first time in his career.
He received more than 50% of the vote.
There is not much controversy about this selection. After successfully recruiting Durant in the summer, the Warriors have become stronger than last season.
To put it bluntly, last season's Warriors lineup was swept by the Pelicans, and this season's Warriors have a chance to defeat the Pelicans.
This is a change, and this change comes from the lineup change, and the general manager should take the lead.
After the Warriors won this honor, including the previous best head coach, they made up for what they had not won in the past few seasons. It can be said to be a bumper season.
Of course, these awards are not of high importance. Defeating the Pelicans and Cavaliers/Knicks and regaining the championship is the biggest reward.
The third season of Pelicans is the most exciting and exciting season. Fans are talking about it on social media, and the media will definitely not miss it.
In TNT's latest program, in addition to the Big Three, they also invited two absolute heavyweights.
"Magic" Johnson and "Basketball God" Michael Jordan.
It's not surprising for Johnson to make a wonderful appearance in front of the media, but this is the first time Jordan has appeared on such a large-scale program since he became the team owner.
In fact, even TNT only tried to invite him, but to his surprise, Jordan actually agreed this time.
The content of the program involves changes in the league, evaluations of league stars, and of course the most important thing is the prediction of the next conference finals.
Everyone agrees that the Cavaliers will win the Knicks as they did in the past, even if the latter has Wall in the lineup.
In their view, Wall has never proven himself in the playoffs.
But in the predictions of the Pelicans and Warriors, the opinions of the five people have relatively large differences.
“That was the most like our team I’ve ever seen.”
Johnson supports the Warriors.
"First-class stars, first-class offense, and excellent defense. That's the modern version of showtime."
The reason Johnson gave is also quite simple.
"Yes, my reason tells me that Magic's statement is correct. Curry and Durant's singles abilities are much better than Paul and Harden. Tang's defense is very strong, but he can only limit one of them. So I’m rooting for the Warriors.”
Kenny Smith is a very rational man, and he is also on the Warriors' side.
"Hey! Hey! Kenny, you never learn a lesson. Do you want to wear a pink dress again?"
The way Barkley said it really deserved a beating. Smith laughed and shook his head when he was told that if he could turn back time, he should never wear that damn skirt.
"The Pelicans are the defending champions. They lead the Warriors 2-1 in the regular season, and they just defeated the Rockets, which has three superstars, 4-1. Now you are telling me that they can't beat the Warriors?"
Buckley looked at Smith with disdain.
"I support Charles. The Pelicans have Don and they are invincible."
O'Neal didn't need any explanation at all, he just started talking.
After the four people finished speaking their opinions, they all looked at Jordan in unison.
There is obviously a reason why the program team found five people. Now the support rate is 2 to 2. It depends on who Jordan supports in the end.
"Michael."
Johnson spoke.
"The Pelicans, I've been in that situation, I did it, Don will do it, step over what looks like a tough opponent."
Jordan's words were unknowingly pretentious. He climbed to the top by stepping on a bunch of superstars, and later completed three consecutive championships twice.
It can be seen from these words that Jordan admires Tang Tian very much.
This is also expected. Since the last time the two of them got together, he has shown favor to Tang Tian on various occasions.
He is paving the way for the free market in a few years.
This episode of TNT's program has extremely high ratings, and Jordan's views are even more exciting for Pelicans fans.
The conference finals are coming soon, and the Pelicans are also actively preparing for it.
After the day's training, Tang Tian lay on a soft chair in the locker room and watched a video. In it was a video of his two sons chasing Mei Dash.
The little lion has now grown into a big lion. Although it is still very docile, Tang Tian dare not let his son play with him now.
"Don, did you watch yesterday's show?"
At this moment, Dio came over and said.
"What program?"
Tang Tian had been spending time with his son after training yesterday and had not watched TV or mobile phones.
"TNT, predict our game. Who do you think is more favored?"
Dio said as he sat next to Tang Tian and glanced at the tablet.
"This cat is miserable."
Tang Tian rolled his eyes at Dior, this guy talks dirty words all day long.
"Let's do it."
he continued.
"Hey, you guessed it, Charles, Shaq and Michael all think so, 3 to 2."
Dio continued.
Charles is Barkley, Shaq is O'Neal, Michael? An invited guest?
"Which Michael?"
"Which other Michael?"
"That Michael?"
Tang Tian was stunned.
"Yes, Michael Jordan."
After hearing what Dio said, Tang Tian, who had always been calm, suddenly felt a little panicked.
