Chapter 1100 Dan Fagan died unexpectedly (15! Please vote for me!)
The Pelicans and Trail Blazers are the last group to be determined in the semifinals.
Before that, all the first round games were over, and the second round had even started.
In the other group in the West, the Mavericks eliminated the Jazz 4-1, and the Warriors eliminated the Thunder 4-2. The two teams met in the second round.
Before the Pelicans and Trail Blazers, their first contest had ended, with the Mavericks losing to the Warriors 103-106.
In the East, after the Cavaliers swept the Magic 4-0, after waiting for a while, they also ushered in the Nets, which they defeated in the tiebreaker.
The game between the two teams will be played on the same day as the game between the Pelicans and Trail Blazers.
In another group of semifinals, the Bucks swept the Heat 4-0, and the Raptors defeated the Pacers 4-2. The Bucks and Raptors met on a narrow road.
The first game between the two teams has also ended. The Bucks finally defeated the Raptors 108-91 and continued their strong performance.
If they continue to play at this pace, their Eastern Conference finals with the Cavaliers will be exciting.
If the Bucks really win, the Pelicans will play in the finals against this opponent they abused and doubted their life.
However, the semifinals of the East and West regions have just started, and it is still too early to say these things now.
The same is true for the Pelicans. The Trail Blazers have been in very good shape since the All-Star break and have improved even further in the playoffs.
To win the championship and complete the three consecutive championship dynasty, this is the opponent they currently have to defeat.
And it was an opponent they wanted to defeat completely, or rather sweep.
The first game of the semifinals was played in New Orleans.
The day before the game, the Trail Blazers flew to New Orleans just two days after finishing the tiebreaker.
And they started training quickly upon arrival.
This also attracted the attention of a large number of media reporters.
The Trail Blazers' training lasted for two hours, with the first half hour closed and the second half hour open to the public.
After the training ended, reporters swarmed in and surrounded Trail Blazers coach Stotts and team core Lillard.
"Damien, some people said that the Rockets should have appeared on this field. You defeated them and got here by luck. What do you think?"
The reporter who first asked the question was from FOX, and his questions were quite aggressive.
"But it's us who are standing here now, isn't it?"
Lillard had an inexplicable domineering tone when he spoke.
"This is the NBA. Luck can help you appear in the playoffs, but luck will not help you beat the Rockets."
Lillard's next words made the reporter not even dare to ask further questions.
This kind of momentum is exactly the same as what he showed on the court, something deep in his bones.
"Is the team confident they can beat the Pelicans tomorrow night?"
The ESPN reporter asked a more routine question.
"Yes, but we must go all out. We all know how strong the Pelicans are, but no matter how strong the opponent is, we have confidence."
Lillard's answer was neither arrogant nor humble nor loud-mouthed. He was really charming.
"We all know that Don chose you to join his team during the All-Star Game. To be precise, he chose you between you and George. Will that experience have an impact on your state tonight?"
A reporter from TNT asked a more interesting topic.
"Yes, it was fun. He believed in me and I repaid his trust with my performance in the All-Star Game. That experience will encourage me and I will perform better in tomorrow night's game."
Unlike Green and Whiteside, Lillard is really positive and energetic.
Such an answer also makes fans look forward to tomorrow night's game, because it sounds like the kind of game between men with real swords and guns.
The Pelicans also arranged daily training today, but it was completely closed.
Stevens hopes the players will be tense before the game.
After all, they had rested for nearly a week after playing the first round.
At the end of the day's training, Tang Tiangang was about to drive back to the manor when he received a call from Karl.
What Karl said was concise and concise, but he paused for a long time after listening.
Dan Fagan.
His agent was in a car accident and died.
Although Fei Gen is relatively greedy for money, he never crossed the line after being beaten several times by Tang Tian.
As his agent, he has worked hard for 7 years and can be said to be the person he trusts most outside of his team.
But now he died in a car accident.
This news was really sudden. Benson had been seriously ill before and could die at any time, but Fagan was alive and well.
This is really the same as that saying, tomorrow or the accident, you never know which one will come first.
After hanging up the phone, Tang Tian said hello to Olson and Stevens and then drove directly to the airport.
Karl was already waiting for him there.
Fagan was involved in a car accident in Los Angeles. His family is there now, and he has to go to express his condolences in person.
It was already past 9 o'clock at night when Tang Tian arrived.
Fagan's family remains in the hospital.
Fagen's wife was surprised to see Tang Tian coming. Although her eyes were red and swollen, she came over to thank Tang Tian.
Tang Tian also comforted them for a long time.
In addition to Fagan, his 5-year-old son is also being rescued in the operating room.
As a well-known NBA agent, Fagan is not short of money, especially after becoming his agent.
Tang Tian asked Carl to contact some famous local doctors in Los Angeles, and his team had a wide range of contacts in this area.
By the time I got out of the hospital in Los Angeles, it was already past 11 o'clock at night.
There were no flights back to New Orleans, and they planned to go back the next morning.
Tang Tian took a shower, changed clothes, and called Karl to his room.
Fagan's death was sudden and the timing was troublesome.
The playoffs have reached the conference semifinals, and after the conference finals and finals, it is the offseason.
The offseason is a rest time for players, but it is the busiest time for agents.
Before that happens, Tang Tian needs to finalize the matter of the new manager.
"I'm going to let you be my new agent."
When Tang Tian told Karl the news, Karl was surprised.
Although he is already the core member of Tang Tian's team, he has never been an agent before!
"Boss, I think from a profit perspective, we should still find a new agent with a high professional reputation."
Carl was just a college student at first. He was spotted by Tang Tian because he was good at shooting. Later, he gradually became the core of Tang Tian's team with his outstanding work ability.
He is very loyal to Tang Tian.
Becoming Tang Tian's agent meant a lot of profit sharing, but he still suggested that Tang Tian choose the most suitable person.
"I know your abilities. It won't take long to start from scratch. I want you to become a being like Rich Paul."
Tang Tian's next words shocked Karl, but also inspired him.
Rich Paul can be said to be the most special being in the league. He is James' agent and the core of James' team.
Even now he is very popular in the league's agent circle, a typical representative from poor boy to rich man.
He is also known as Rich Paul by many people.
Tang Tian now hopes that he can become a being like Rich Paul. For him, that is not just trust, but expectation.
