The Spurs are firmly in first place in the West, and Popovich began his habitual rotation in the final four games.

"GDP" didn't play, and Tang Tian and Leonard didn't play much.

After the game with the Hornets on this day, Tang Tian met an uninvited guest in the arena.

A Chinese in his forties, dressed in that standard formal attire and holding a briefcase, looked like a domestic official.

"I'm Huang Zhen, an official of the Chinese Basketball Association."

When the other party reported to his home, Tang Tian already knew the other party's intentions.

2012 was an Olympic year, and the other party must have recruited him into the national team.

The 2008 Olympic Games were held in Beijing, and the Chinese team won the first place in the medal table and the gold medal table, achieving a historic breakthrough.

That year, the men's basketball team also reached the quarterfinals of the Olympics under the leadership of Yao Ming, tying the best record in history.

Yao Ming's comeback touched countless fans, and the men's basketball team was also called the strongest men's basketball team in history.

Four years have passed, Yao Ming has retired, and Yi Jianlian's mixing in the NBA is not satisfactory.

The core members of the men's basketball team, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, and Wang Shipeng, have also aged one after another.

In addition, the basketball association does not pay attention to or does not know how to train young players at all, and now there are signs of a strong crossbow and a lack of success.

"We hope you can represent the national team at the 2012 London Olympics, of course you don't have to participate in the training camp like other players, and we can discuss the reporting time, anyway, everything is based on your convenience."

Because he is not a player in the physique, this person named Huang Zhen is very polite when he speaks.

Tang Tian didn't speak for the first time.

He is not averse to playing for the national team in the Olympics, he is a patriotic person at heart.

And because he has lived a lifetime, this kind of national feeling is even stronger than that of ordinary people.

However, the timing of this year's Olympics is awkward, because he has just finished his rookie season, and the next offseason will be crucial for him.

In other words, until the end of his rookie contract, he was paid a limited amount of money and had a limited number of skills to redeem, and training was a must.

And his current strength is also limited, joining the men's basketball team, it is already Lady Luck to reach the top 8, and it is not so significant.

And, of course, last but not least.

The men's basketball team is now like a dead game of chess, which needs to be broken and then standed.

If he joins to help the team stabilize the record, it is tantamount to letting the chess game continue, delaying the renewal of the men's basketball team, and it is also disadvantageous in the long run.

"I need time to think about it and talk about it after the playoffs."

Tang Tian didn't make a decision right away.

"No problem, here is my contact information, you can contact me at any time if there is a decision."

Huang Zhen said and handed Tang Tian a business card.

Tang Tian accepted the business card and glanced at this official, to be honest, the selection of the Basketball Association is not bad.

The Spurs won the Wizards in their final all-game game and finished at 52-14.

This is the last regular season game of the league, and with the end of this game, the 2010~2011 shutdown season has also come to an end.

Tang Tian also ended his debut season.

He played in 65 games in his rookie season, including 29 starts, averaging 14.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks in 26.6 minutes per game, shooting 49% from the field and 51% from three-point range.

He scored behind Parker and Duncan in the Spurs and finished third on the team ahead of Ginobili.

Among the rookies, Tang Tian's score was second only to Irving's 18.5 points and Walker's 16.2 points, ranking third among rookies, and steals ranked first among all rookies.

As the No. 31 pick, he played in the top three picks of the Class of 2011.

Although the playoffs haven't started yet, his performance proved that the Spurs really picked up the treasure in last year's draft.

The first pick in the second round allowed the other 29 teams to miss out perfectly, and the Heat management, although unwilling to admit it, was also remorseful.

With the end of the regular season, the quarterfinals of the East and West are also freshly released.

This side of the west.

The Spurs' 52 wins are three more than the Bulls' 49 wins, locking up the first place in the league and the first place in the West.

The Thunder are close behind with a 46-20 record.

In addition to these two teams, the 3~8th place in the west is a scuffle, and the biggest win between each other is only 5 games.

The Lakers' strength dropped significantly, and they ended up in third place in the West with a 41-25 record.

The Grizzlies finished fourth because of their win-loss relationship with the Lakers, although they also had 41 wins.

The Clippers' Big Three didn't have a good first year, and although they were known as the City of Empty Spots, they only finished fifth with a 40-26 record.

The Nuggets were a bit of a surprise when they traded away core Carmelo Anthony, but instead played offensive basketball under the leadership of George Karl, and all six players on the team averaged double-doubles per game, finishing sixth with a 38-28 record.

The Jazz are seventh in the West with a 36-30 record.

Defending champion Dallas Mavericks finished eighth with a 35-31 record.

As a result, the first round of the Western Conference playoffs was also released.

The Spurs will take on defending champion Mavericks;

Thunder meets Jazz;

Lakers take on Nuggets;

The Grizzlies will fight the Clippers for a spot in the promotion.

The first-round matchups on the eastern side were also released at the same time:

Bulls vs. 76ers; Heat vs Knicks; Pacers vs Magic; Celtics vs Hawks.

(With Eastern Conference record: Bulls 49-17, Heat 45-21, Pacers 42-24, Celtics 39-27, Hawks 40-26, Magic 37-29, Knicks 36-30, 76ers 35-31.) ）

The quarterfinals and matchups in the east and west were confirmed, and the major media also started to predict the championship early at this time, and the spinach website also opened the odds for the first time.

The Heat are at the top of the list on major media sites and spinach odds.

"The Heat's record this season doesn't reflect their quality, and Wade's absence in the second half of the game is what makes their record fluctuate.

Their true record should be around 55 wins, and in the second year of the Big Three, they will be the undoubted favourites to win the title. ”

ESPN columnist Chad Ford has this to say, just like he did when he predicted the draft, he always likes to rush early.

The Thunder, Bulls, Spurs and Lakers are ranked 2~5, and they are the second echelon of the championship-winning teams.

"The Spurs have the best record in the league and they should be higher up in this list, but age is a big factor limiting their performance.

We know that the schedule of a lockdown season is intense, and an intensive regular season will be followed by a more intense playoffs. ”

Ford's comments are also more appropriate, and the most tormented by this kind of elderly team during the shutdown season.

ps: The monthly pass list has fallen to sixth, and the brothers who have the monthly pass remember to vote for the water eggplant.

The water eggplant has unconsciously watered 170,000 words this month, and there should be no one in the new book who can water more than me.
