This strange array is a test for Carlisle, and it is also the last way to play this deck of cards in his hand.

After this failed, he really had nothing to do.

After switching back to the normal lineup, the Mavericks players played the court, and the score difference between the two sides always fluctuated around 10 points.

In the final game of the series, everyone gave their all, without reservations.

That didn't help them win the final game, though.

112-103, the Rockets won by 9 points, thus sweeping the Mavericks with a big score of 4-0 and successfully advanced to the next round.

Nowitzki of the Mavericks had another 40 points and 11 rebounds.

Despite the loss, the fans still gave the home team the warmest applause.

In this last game, they didn't lose ugly.

At the post-game press conference, the Rockets were greeted by reporters.

Although there were predictions before the series that this round of matchups could be upset, it turned out that the Rockets were really strong.

"4-0, a very disparity of scores, how do you evaluate the Mavericks as an opponent? They don't seem to be challenging? The reporter asked.

Killing an opponent and then stomping on a corpse is the media's favorite piece of journalism.

"No, the score doesn't say anything, the Mavericks are very good opponents, Dirk is one of the greatest players, Coach Carlisle is a top coach, and I'm sure in two or three years' time, they're going to be a strong contender for the championship." To the reporter's surprise, Tang Tian's evaluation of the Mavericks was exceptionally high.

He's telling the truth, the Mavericks have the same roster as they did in their previous lives, and if history doesn't change, they'll make the playoffs and achieve the most incredible single-core championship in history.

Of course, it is impossible for reporters to know this, they only think that Tang Tian is a humble person.

"The Trail Blazers have won their last two games and now they're tied 2-2 with the Spurs, so which team do you prefer to play against in the second round?" The reporter then asked.

"Both of these opponents are very strong, and if I have to choose one of them, I would prefer to play the Trail Blazers so that we will have an advantage in terms of experience." Tang Tian said directly.

"What if it ends up against the Spurs?" The reporter asked.

"That's not bad, we beat the opponent two years ago and we have the advantage in terms of experience and confidence." Tang Tian is still very confident, and now this Rocket team is his confident capital.

"There was a bloody incident in the playoffs yesterday, the Nuggets beat the Hornets 121-63 at home, and the 58 points also created the largest point difference in playoff history, what do you think about that?"

Hearing the reporter ask this, Tang Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Some history has changed, like Billups, who didn't go to the Nuggets, but there are history that didn't run away at the end, like 58.

Tang Tian didn't expect the Nuggets to change their lineup, and the Hornets in Paul's team still lost so badly, and the 58-point incident still appeared.

You must know that in his previous life, this was a stalk that Paul did not erase throughout his career.

"Anything is possible, that's the NBA, but it's not the end of the world." Tang Tian did not comment directly, but said it more tactfully.

The first-round series ended, because there were at least two more games left between the Spurs and the Trail Blazers, and Tang Tian also gave the players two days off.

Now he only has 1 honor point in his hand, and he doesn't want any players to be injured due to fatigue at this juncture.

Tang Tian happened to go back to his aunt's house.

We hadn't been together last Christmas, and he hadn't been back for months.

It just so happened that Hathaway was also at home.

After lunch, I said hello to my uncle and aunt, and the two of them drove out for a walk.

"Herman Park used to plant a batch of calendulas, and now it should be almost open, where shall we go and have a look?" Tang Tian proposed before driving.

Hathaway nodded, speaking of which, she and Tang Tian rarely do such romantic things except for taking their temperatures.

Herman Park is one of Houston's well-known free parks, and it's one of the favorite places for many locals to visit.

Hathaway took Tang Tian's arm, and the two of them were like ordinary couples, strolling in the park.

On a meadow in the northwest corner of the park, there is a sea of golden flowers, which is also the calendula that Tang Tian had seen before setting off.

April is the season when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, but the marigold, which is the aristocratic chrysanthemum, is also in full bloom during this season.

The budding petals look a bit like sunflowers, but when they are in full bloom, they look like yellow roses that are spreading out, and they are beautiful.

Walking in the sea of flowers and watching the bees busy in the flowers makes it even more enjoyable.

Compared with extravagant parties, it is still this kind of carnival of nature, which makes people more comfortable to watch.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people coming and going, the two wouldn't mind being with these hard-working bees.

The design of the park is also reasonable, and at the end of the sea of flowers, there is a row of benches for people to rest.

They found a relatively small bench to sit on, and Hathaway pressed her hand to her ankle.

For a model, the feet are all they have, and they are also the most damaged parts.

"I'll press it for you?" Tang Tian opened his mouth when he saw this.

Hathaway glanced up at Tang Tian, her cheeks slightly red.

She has always regarded herself as Tang Tian's little lover, and she can be prodigal in private, but she is still very restrained in public.

But women, there will always be a little indulgence, she turned around directly, put her legs on Tang Tian's thighs, and then leaned on the bench, looking at Tang Tian with affection.

Tang Tian didn't care about this, and reached out and gently pressed Hathaway's ankle.

Although the memory is gone, I have been an apprentice in the Chinese medicine hall for a few years, and the technique is still there.

After a moment's press, Hathaway let out a comfortable moan.

"Will you go back and eat in the evening?" Hathaway was a little distracted.

"No, I'll take you to try Chinese food."

"Chinese food? I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it, and Chinese food isn't very delicious, right? "Not all Americans are interested in Chinese food, and Swift's kind is only a minority.

"You don't know if it's delicious or not, but there is an advantage of eating Chinese food that Western food can't compare." Tang Tian suddenly remembered some memories of his previous life.

"What?" Hathaway was curious.

"You can eat Chinese food with one hand and play with your mobile phone with the other," Tang Tian said with a smile.

“……”

Hathaway was stunned for a moment, then bent over with a smile, the waves were turbulent.

Tang Tian also laughed.

"Don?" But just then, a familiar voice came from my ears.

Hathaway heard it too, and the two men looked up at the source of the figure, and then they were both stunned.

Swift stood four or five meters away from them, staring at them in a daze.
