Tang Tian said one reason, but another reason he wanted the Lakers to win did not say.

The Thunder are basically eliminated by the Grizzlies, and it will be difficult for Westbrook to come back and make it difficult for them to turn the tables.

That's not necessarily good news for the Spurs.

In the case of winning the championship, the Heat are their last opponent.

All the opponents before this are used to warm up and find form.

The Clippers have proven that they are a chicken in front of the Spurs in the playoffs last season and this season's regular season.

The two teams met in the semi-finals and most of the time it was 4-0.

If they all play a bunch of chickens before advancing to the Finals, then the Spurs will not be in good shape, and there will be little hope of winning.

You must know that the Spurs played the Heat team so well last year, which has a lot to do with the anxiety of the previous Thunder team.

Now that the Thunder are eliminated, the Lakers are the best replacement.

After all, a healthy F4, although it is a little older, is still there.

The game between the Clippers and the Lakers is still playing, but it is estimated that there are still a few days left.

The Spurs don't have to run away because they have home court advantage, they just need to train in San Antonio.

As soon as he sat down in the locker room at the end of the day's training, Tang Tian received a text message.

It was sent by the office of the Union.

"Tang Tian, congratulations on becoming the best NBA defensive player in the 2012~2013 season, you can choose the following ways to receive it, first, we express it to the team; 2. Awarded in a home match; 3. Go to the headquarters of the alliance to pick up at the "Olympic Tower" building, 645 Fifth Avenue, New York. ”

This kind of text message is already very familiar to Tang Tian, the difference is the content.

Best Defensive Player!

was really said by Popovich, and Tang Tianzhen became the best defensive player.

"Oh! I know! I knew it! ”

Not long after Tang Tian received the text message, Ginobili shouted in the locker room.

Just now, the alliance announced the news.

Tang Tian received 60 of the 121 first-place votes, and with a high vote rate of 30%, he beat Gasol Jr. (13%) and James (9%), and was successfully elected as the NBA Defensive Player of the Year in the 2012~2013 season!

The fifth best outside defensive player in history since the statistics began!

This time, his name has been clearly imprinted in the history of the NBA!

"I knew you could, best defensive player!"

Ginobili shouted and walked towards Tang Tian, and the others followed before they reacted.

Tang Tian's performance and statistics this season are eye-catching, and he deserves to be selected as the best defensive player.

It's just that because the probability of winning awards is not high, they were still a little worried before.

Now that the results are in, their worries are completely overwhelmed.

And 30% of the votes is already relatively high, which is very difficult to be an outside line.

"Don, tonight's lunch, no, you've got dinner."

Dio said as he came over and put him on the shoulder.

"No problem, it has to be."

Tang Tian said with a smile.

There was a wave of small celebrations in the dressing room.

After the celebration, Tang Tian asked Carl to book a restaurant for him to eat, and then took out his mobile phone to reply to the alliance.

He will choose to open the award ceremony at home, which is the first game of the next series.

The main reason for choosing that point is naturally to boost the morale of the team.

Time flies, and a few days pass in a blink of an eye.

The first round of the NBA playoffs was all played, and all of them were within 6 games.

In addition to the Heat and Spurs, who have already qualified.

In the East, the Bulls went 2-2 and beat the Nets 4-2.

Jimmy Butler has been an eye-catcher in the series, and he has improved significantly by averaging 12 points per game while defending Joe Johnson.

The Nets were more embarrassed, he spent money to smash a super lineup, only to be eliminated in the first round.

The Pacers eliminated the Hawks 4-2, and Lance Stephenson's growth made up for the only flaw in this team, which made them look competitive.

The Knicks also managed to knock out the aging Celtics 4-2.

After a surprise regular season, Anthony has the opportunity to lead the team to a brotherly basketball matchup with James in the playoffs once again.

On the Western side, the Thunder finally lost 1-4 to the Grizzlies and unfortunately went out.

Westbrook's absence was the main reason for the Thunder's loss.

The Grizzlies also became the only team to achieve both black seven and black eight since the implementation of the best-of-seven system.

In the remaining two sets of matchups, the Warriors also achieved black six and successfully overturned the Nuggets.

The Lakers also fell in straight sets, achieved Black Five, eliminated the Clippers 4-2, and advanced to the Western Conference semifinals.

Except for the Spurs, the other three teams in the top half of the West have all suffered dark horses......

Popovich's open mouth is really poisonous.

And with the first-round playoff technology, the matchup of the Eastern and Western semifinals has also been released.

The Heat will take on the Bulls in the East, while the Pacers will take on the Knicks.

In the West, the Warriors will play the Grizzlies, while the Spurs will face the Lakers.

Among the four matchups, the Spurs and Lakers are the most attractive matchups.

One is the defending champion, while the other team has a disappointing regular season record, but the lineup is also a championship configuration.

On paper, this is really going to stage Mars hitting the Earth.

On May 5, just one day after the end of the series between the Lakers and the Clippers, the Lakers flew to San Antonio a day early.

The Lakers scheduled the team's daily shooting practice in the afternoon.

Coach D'Antoni looks in a very good mood.

Since the team traded for Livingston and CJ Myers, the team's rotation has finally been complete, and the run-and-gun he wants has finally been played.

And in the first round, they also eliminated the most important city rival, the Clippers.

This kind of performance is enough for him to continue to stay with the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant also seemed to be in a very good mood, and after he followed Tang Tian's advice, he played more efficiently than before.

The Lakers' record has improved, and his stats haven't dropped much.

After the training session, Bryant was quickly surrounded by a swarm of reporters.

"The Lakers lost to the Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals last year, and now they are going to have a stronger Spurs, is the team confident?"

"Of course, we're stronger than we were last year."

"Don just won Player of the Week and you're going to play against him next, what do you think? We know you didn't play very well against him in the regular season. The reporter then asked.

"Maybe I should learn Popovich's way of speaking, and I'll stand on the field and watch?"

Bryant was in a really good mood, and this answer amused the reporters.

"Okay, kidding aside, Don did play really well this season, and that [best defensive player] deserved it, but for me, the stronger the defensive player, the more excited I am in the game."

Bryant always looked so confident.
