Chapter 233 The First Round (Fourth)

In the end, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks 101 to 91 and eliminated their opponents with a big score of 4 to 0 to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

The Mavericks also became another defending champion who was swept out in the first round after the Heat in 2006.

Terry's war of words didn't work as well as it did in last year's Finals.

Moreover, in the entire series, under Tang Tian's main defense, he averaged only 11 points per game, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%. His performance was really a bit miserable.

Yi Jianlian felt hot in this game. He scored 2 three-pointers in both halves. He played 25 minutes and made 6 of 10 shots and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored a season-high 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks.

This data is also the performance of the Mavericks tonight, second only to Dirk Nowitzki.

At the end of the match, he and Tang Tian hugged tightly for more than half a minute.

Every extra second means that he is more grateful to Tang Tian in his heart.

Tang Tian also reached out and patted Yi Jianlian on the shoulder.

Maybe only in the future, those sunspots will know how well the "Lian Mei" they call is as a yellow person in the NBA.

During the post-match interview, Yi Jianlian wept in front of the domestic media.

For him, this season may very well be his last in the NBA.

But he got through it, and now he can move on.

The series between the Spurs and the Mavericks ended. Although there were some twists and turns, the score of 4-0 showed that the whole series was relatively easy.

The Spurs' series started a day later. After their game, the other groups have also ended one after another.

In the East, the Heat and the Knicks played 4-1. The Big Three played steadily, basically adding up to 70 to 80 points per game.

It doesn't help that Anthony's incarnation as "An Lubu" averaged 28 points per game.

This top small forward who was also in the golden generation of 2003 still didn't understand the meaning of brother basketball, and lost to the three opposite brothers in the same class.

The Pacers also defeated the Magic 4-1.

The executives of the Magic team recruited former finals members back to the team one by one during the offseason, but they never calculated that Howard would not be able to play in the playoffs due to injury.

Pacers also picked up a big deal and became a pedestrian.

In the other two groups, the Bulls played very tenaciously without Rose, but they still trailed the 76ers 1-3, not far from the black eight.

In the playoffs, the Eagles still turned into that little parrot, and they were beaten 3-1 by the infinitely aging Celtics.

If nothing else, both the 76ers and the Celtics will advance to the second round.

In the West, as shown in the regular season record, except for the Spurs and Thunder, the remaining two groups played quite fiercely.

On the Clippers side, Griffin met his lifelong enemy, the black and white duo, and Griffin directly became a short-handed Fen, unable to score in all kinds of ways.

Fortunately, Paul is smart in his game and has first-class field control ability. Now the two teams are tied at 2-2, and it looks like they are going to the tiebreaker.

Another group of the Lakers and the Nuggets has a similar situation.

Although there are no superstars in the opposing Nuggets, the strength of the Lakers has degraded significantly.

Coupled with the occasional opening of the Milan blacksmith shop, the two teams seem to be rushing to the tiebreaker.

However, like the Spurs, the Thunder easily swept the Jazz 4-0.

The four youngsters are infinitely youthful, they have really improved a lot compared to last season, and they already look like champions.

Because the potential opponents, the Clippers and the Grizzlies, are in full swing, the Spurs will also usher in a rare period of rest.

For an old team like them, they wish they could play all seven games.

The day's daily training was over, and Ginobili was pulling Parker to flirt again.

"Tony, do you want to play Lob City, or Floor Team?"

"I want to play the Grizzlies, they beat us last year."

Parker is a rare honest man for the Spurs, and this answer is very honest.

For the Grizzlies, the Spurs 4-2 in the first round last year, this is indeed a good opportunity for revenge.

Although Parker looked very gentlemanly, he was still a little hot-blooded.

"Don, what about you?"

At this moment, Ginobili turned his head and asked Tang Tian.

Their closets are close together, so it is convenient to do everything.

"It's still the Clippers. We have a lot of grievances with them."

Tang Tian gave himself the answer.

The Spurs and Clippers played 3 games in the regular season, and as a result, there were conflicts in 2 games.

Ginobili was crippled for one game, and he was suspended for one game. Playing the Clippers is obviously more meaningful.

"Danny, what about you?"

Ginobili probed to ask Green again.

"James Harden gets the sixth man."

Instead of answering Ginobili, Green gave them a new message.

After listening, Ginobili took out his mobile phone and checked the news.

Harden averaged 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game this season, shooting 49% from the field and 39% from three-pointers.

Several of his main competitors, such as Terry and Crawford, have fallen a lot in terms of team record and personal data.

The only one who can compete is Louis Williams of the 76ers. The 76ers may be black eight now, which gives him a lot of points.

But in the end Harden still won the best sixth man award with an overwhelming 55% of the votes.

"You said, when will the nightclubs in San Antonio be better?"

Tang Tian asked Ginobili at this time.

"What?"

Ginobili looked at Tang Tian in bewilderment, the question was very inexplicable.

"Tang, do you want to go to a nightclub? Keep your voice down, don't be overheard by the old man."

Green reminded kindly.

"No, you don't know that James Hardent likes to go to nightclubs?" Tang Tian said with a smile.

"Haha, you said this, but this is very difficult. San Antonio is a military center, and nightclubs, so that's it."

Dior joined in at this time, it seems that he has already experienced it first.

The French always like to be romantic.

In the Middle Ages, French kilns were a favorite place for emperors.

Tang Tian nodded when he heard this.

It seems that it really makes sense that Harden played well in San Antonio in his previous life, which is comparable to a bustling metropolis like Miami.

But that's okay, if he really meets in the Western Conference finals, then his personal value can be reflected.

He didn't feel like he was supposed to be a role player.

Harden won the best sixth man, and the Thunder held a press conference specially for him.

The Thunder have had a brilliant season, but this is the first honor their team has received.

"This (the best sixth man) will not be my ultimate goal. I will become even better next season. This season I will help the team win our championship."

At the press conference, Harden was also full of pride.

He must not be reconciled to only being the sixth man, and the meaning of these words is also obvious.

The sixth man is an affirmation of him, but next season, he will play a bigger role in the team.

Thunder general manager Presti frowned slightly when he heard Harden's words.

This kid is ambitious!

Thank you Tuba Kyushu for your reward.
