Brother Alphabet's playoff data, really counted, is the first person after James.

Tang Tian said this kind of thing completely from the bottom of his heart, and it was a godfather's affirmation of a young player.

After listening to it, Brother Alphabet also said thank you, it was an honor for him to be given such a high evaluation by Tang Tian.

But after saying that, Tang Tian felt a little weird.

He suddenly remembered that when he said that to James, James had never won a championship before he joined the Cavaliers.

Brother Alphabet this is again in the bucks, just afraid ......

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile, patted Brother Alphabet on the shoulder, and then turned to shake hands with the others.

The Nets swept the Bucks 4-0, but on the other side, the 76ers and the Raptors have been inextricably matched, and after the Raptors also pulled back a city on the road, the two sides have fought to a 2-2 draw, which is really going to rush to the rhythm of grabbing seven.

The 76ers and the Raptors played inextricably, and during this period, the first rounds of other groups also ended one after another.

The Celtics beat the Heat 4-1, Spoelstra was bitter, played the Nets against Tang Tian last year, and met Stevens again this year, his tactics could not be played, and the Heat team with more strength on paper had no choice but to lose.

The Warriors also eliminated the Jazz 4-1, although it was a light victory, but fans can feel that this Warriors team has lost the invincible spirit of the previous two years.

The Rockets swept the Clippers 4-0, and Paul was unrelenting in the face of his old club, directly giving the old owner a big duck egg.

The Thunder were eliminated 2-4 by the Spurs, the only group to be under the table so far.

The remaining two groups were extremely surprising.

The Trail Blazers were beaten 4-0 by the Pelicans, and the backcourt double-shot game was worse than last year's Raptors garbage brothers, and many Portland fans are clamoring for a rebuild.

It's really three years of the new, three years of the old, and another three years of sewing and mending.

There is another group that people didn't expect was the Riders and Pacers.

Delon is plagued by synovitis, role players play cringe, and fans are saying that the Cavaliers' ups and downs in the regular season are to build up and down for the playoffs, but when it comes to the playoffs, this has become the most disappointing Cavaliers in recent years.

James played 42 minutes and had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists.

James played 43 minutes and finished with 46 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists.

James played 41 minutes and finished with 44 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists.

……

Such technical statistics became the headlines of post-game media coverage for the Cavaliers and Pacers.

A 34-year-old veteran who averages more than 40+ minutes per game, nearly 40+ points per game, and an average quasi-triple-double per game.

Even though Tang Tian had many grievances with James at the beginning, he couldn't help but sigh after seeing such a performance.

He didn't think too much about it when he traded with the Cavaliers, but he didn't expect that in the end, he forced out the strongest James, just like in his previous life.

This kind of performance is emotional and embarrassing, after all, this Cavaliers were still strong in the East last year, and now they are only playing in the first round.

The game between the 76ers and the Raptors continued, and Ben Simmons was getting better and better, and he played his first individual triple-double of the playoffs in the high-profile battle of Tianwang Mountain: 17 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists.

The triple-double also made him the first rookie to score a triple-double since "The Magic" in 1980.

"He's a beast, he's phenomenal, so he's going to win Rookie of the Year without any suspense." Embiid was full of praise for his partner at the press conference.

"Nobody can compete with him for that [Rookie of the Year], he's tough and he's not afraid of confrontation, it's easy to get a triple-double, and it's unfair to compare other rookies to him." Redick is also a lot of praise for his teammates.

That's what the 76ers said in their postgame press conference after the win over Tennoyama.

After these words were reported by the news media, they also caused some controversy.

The Nets were waiting for their opponents in the next round, and Mitchell was caught by reporters after the training was over.

"The 76ers won against the Kings, they will likely be the Nets' opponent in the next round, and then you will also have a battle with Ben Simmons, we all know that among the candidates for the best rookie right now, you, Tatum and Simmons are the three most popular candidates, who do you think will win in the end?"

(Comparison of the regular season data of the three is attached: Simmons: 33.8 minutes, 15.8 points, 8.1 points, 8.2 assists per game, 54% shooting, 0% three-point shooting; Mitchell: Averaged 14.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 26 minutes per game, shooting 46% from the field and 35% from three-point range; Tatum: Averaged 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 25 minutes per game, shooting 47.5% from the field and 43.5% from three-point range. ）

"Me." Mitchell replied crisply.

Although the reporter guessed that Mitchell would answer like this, he didn't expect him to answer so crisply.

"We know that in the battle of Tianwang Mountain just past, Simmons scored the first playoff triple-double of his career, which was also the first person since 'Magic' Johnson, and his teammates also gave him the highest rating."

"yes, he's playing well, but he's not a rookie, he's a rookie in '17 and he's been in this league for two years." Mitchell was quick to reply.

The reporter tilted his head and didn't know how to answer, the topic that Mitchell said had not been raised before.

"He got into the league a year earlier than we did, he got NBA-level training, he got familiarized with the team's tactics ahead of time, he got more development than we did, so he's not a rookie, the rookie of the year would be me or Jayson (Tatum)."

The reporter showed a "wow" expression, this was the first time he had heard a rookie say this, but if you think about it, there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

"And if the league ends up giving Rookie of the Year to Simmons, will you protest?" The reporter then asked.

"No, I'm going to be upset, but I'm not going to protest, it's the rules of the league, but that's what I think, and this time next year, I'm definitely going to be better than he is now."

Mitchell's next words made the reporter's eyes widen, this guy is really higher than the sky.

"If the Nets do face the 76ers, will this [Rookie of the Year] be your motivation?"

"Of course, that's one of my motivations, my biggest motivation is the championship, I know how good this team is, I'm going to give it my all, we're going to win the championship, and the rookie of the year wasn't that important."

After the content of Mitchell's interview was exposed by the media, there was an uproar.

On the one hand, there is a discussion about whether a player like Simmons should be included in the selection of the best rookie, and on the other hand, Mitchell's personality is really strong, and if the Nets and 76ers meet in the second round, the PK of these two will definitely blow up the court.
