Chapter 239: The First Round (Fourth Update)

In the end, the Spurs still defeated the Mavericks 101-91 and eliminated the opponent with a score of 4-0 to advance to the second round of the playoffs.

The Mavericks also became another defending champion to be swept out of the first round after the Heat in '06.

Terry's war of words didn't work out like last year's Finals.

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

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

This statistic is also second only to Nowitzki in the Mavericks' performance tonight.

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

Every extra second meant that he was grateful to Tang Tian in his heart.

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

Maybe only in the future will those blacks know how well the "Lotus Girl" in their mouths is playing in the NBA as a yellow person.

During the post-game interview, Yi Jianlian cried in front of the domestic media.

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

But he survived, and now he can look forward.

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

The Spurs' series started a day later, and after their game was played, the other groups were also finished.

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

Over there, Anthony incarnated as "Anlubu" and averaged 28 points per game, but to no avail.

, a top small forward who is also of the 03 golden generation, still didn't understand the meaning of brother basketball, and lost to the three brothers in the same class opposite.

The Pacers also won the Magic 4-1.

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

The walker also picked up a big bargain and became a walker.

In the other two groups, the Bulls played very tenaciously without Rose, but they still fell behind the 76ers 1-3, and they were not far from the Black Eight.

The Hawks still became the same little parrot in the playoffs, and they have been beaten 3-1 by the infinitely aging Celtics on the opposite side.

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

On the Western side, as the regular season record shows, except for the Spurs and Thunder, the remaining two groups are quite intense.

On the Clippers' side, Griffin met his lifelong enemy, Black and White, and gave Lipin directly became a short-handed Fen, and he couldn't score in any way.

Fortunately, Paul is smart and clever in playing, and his ability to control the court is first-class, and now the two teams are tied 2-2, and they are going to rush to grab the seventh.

The other group, the Lakers and Nuggets, are playing similarly.

Although there is no superstar in the Nuggets on the opposite side, the Lakers' strength has degraded significantly.

Coupled with the occasional Milan blacksmith shop, the two teams are also rushing to grab seven.

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

The four young people are infinitely young, and they have really improved a lot compared to last season, and they are already quite champions.

As potential opponents the Clippers and Grizzlies are in full swing, the Spurs will also have a rare break.

For a senior team like them, it's a matter of wishing they had played seven games.

At the end of the day's daily training, Ginobili pulled Parker to tease again.

"Tony, do you want to fight the Empty Pick-up City, or the Floor Brigade?"

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

Parker is a rare honest man for the Spurs, and that's a very honest answer.

As for the Grizzlies, last year's 4-2 first-round Spurs were indeed a good opportunity for revenge.

Although Parker looks very gentlemanly, he is still a little hot-blooded.

"Don, what about you?"

Ginobili turned his head and asked Tang Tian at this time.

Their wardrobes are close to each other, making it easy to do anything.

"It's still the Clippers, we have a lot of grudges with them."

Tang Tian gave his own answer.

The Spurs and Clippers played three games in the regular season, and both games clashed.

One game scrapped Ginobili, one game got him suspended, and playing the Clippers obviously meant more.

"Danny, what about you?"

Ginobili leaned in again and asked Green.

"James Harden has a sixth man."

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

Ginobili took out his phone and swiped the news after listening.

Harden is averaging 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game this season, shooting 49% from the field and 39% from three-point range.

Several of his main rivals, such as John Terry and Crawford, are far behind in terms of team records and personal data.

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

However, in the end, Harden won the award for Best Sixth Man with an overwhelming 55% vote.

"When will San Antonio's nightclubs get better?"

Tang Tian asked Ginobili at this time.

"What?"

Ginobili looked at Tang Tian with a confused expression, this question was very inexplicable.

"Don, do you want to go to a nightclub? Be quiet, don't be heard by the old man. ”

Green kindly reminded.

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

"Haha, you say this, but this is difficult, San Antonio is a military town, a nightclub, so be it."

Dio joined in at this time, and it seemed that he had already experienced it first.

The French always like romance.

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

Tang Tian nodded when he heard this.

It seems that Harden played well in San Antonio in his previous life, and it makes sense that it is comparable to the bustling metropolis of Miami.

But it's okay like this, if he really meets in the West, then his personal value can be reflected.

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

Harden was named Sixth Man of the Year, and the Thunder held a press conference specifically for him.

The Thunder have had a stellar season, but this is their first accolade.

"It's not going to be my ultimate goal, I'm going to get better next season and I'm going to help the team win the championship that we deserve."

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

He is certainly not willing to be only the sixth person, and the meaning of this is obvious.

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

Presti, the general manager of the Thunder, was on the sidelines, frowning slightly when he heard Harden's words.

This kid is not very ambitious!
