Chapter Seventy-Five: Getting Rich (Part 2)

The day after the party, Tang Tian returned to the Toyota Center.

The NBA playoffs continued during the Rockets' two days off, most notably the Warriors and Mavericks, who, after taking a 2-1 lead, continued to build on the fourth game of the series to extend the overall score to 3-1.

This score sent the league into a frenzy! You must know that since the playoffs changed from a best-of-5 system to a best-of-seven system, no eighth-ranked team has ever taken such a lead!

The first "Black Eight" after the restructuring seems to be close at hand.

This score also affects the entire Rockets team, as it is related to their opponents in the next round of the series.

However, attention is paid attention to, the training after the Rockets return from the break is not less at all, no matter who the opponent is in the next round, their own state is the most important.

The Mavericks struggled to pull one back in Game 5 to keep the series alive and give the Rockets more time to recover and practice.

A week after the series with the Jazz, the Rockets have largely recovered from the fierce battle, and the Mavericks and Warriors are also in Game 6 of the series.

This is a game destined to go down in history, if the Warriors win their last home game, they will make history as the first "Black Eight" team in the series, and if they lose, they will return to the Mavericks' home court, then they may become the ninth team in history to have a 3-1 lead overturned.

After finishing the day's daily training, Tang Tian also pulled the team members to the conference room to watch this focus battle.

The game started quickly, and the two sides started with a fairly intense battle, with the Warriors hitting frequent shots from the outside, while the Mavericks relied more on impacting the basket to score.

At halftime, the Warriors led the Mavericks by just two points, 50-48.

The change came in the third quarter, when the Mavericks were completely strangled on the offensive end after the Warriors contracted their defense, Nowitzki was in no shape against Biedrins, and they only scored 15 points in a single quarter, while the Warriors, led by Jackson, continued to soar three points outside the three-point line, scoring 36 points in a single quarter.

After the third quarter, the game had entered garbage time, and the first "Black Eight" team in history after the restructuring was born.

The game is not over yet, the media has fallen into a frenzy, and the players of the Rockets are also screaming excitedly, it is definitely better to beat the Warriors than to beat the Mavericks, this is God to help them reach the Western Conference Finals.

Tang Tian's body trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't pay much attention to this series before, because he didn't know if his intervention would produce a butterfly effect, but now that what happened in his previous life has happened again, he made the right bet!

He asked Tang Tian to buy two bets before, one bet is the Warriors, the odds are 1 to 5, and the other is the Warriors 4 to 2 Mavericks, the odds are 1 to 20, each 1 million, that is to say, the bonus he gets now will be 5 million + 20 million = 25 million!

After deducting taxes, he was able to get about 15 million at one time!

That's more than the after-tax salary of an NBA's highest-paid player!

This one went on, and he really got rich in an instant.

"Coach? Instructor? ”

It wasn't until he heard several shouts in his ears that he slowly came back to his senses.

"What?"

"The game is over, can we disperse?" It was Maddie who spoke, and he was looking at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"Yes, let's get here today first, and train as usual tomorrow afternoon." Tang Tian controlled his excitement and followed.

"Oh! Guys, disperse! Maddie called the shots.

"Don't get drunk, don't stay up late, as I said." Tang Tian got up and reminded.

"We know, coach, we know." The members of Team Rocket chimed in, and then they all smiled and walked out of the conference room.

Thibodeau and Kerr also went to the office to sort out the tactical materials against the Warriors.

When everyone left, Tang Tian finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and shouted excitedly twice after getting up.

"It seems that Don is more excited than we are." Thibodeau heard a noise coming from the conference room and turned to Cole.

"Yes, what a great start, the first season to the Western Conference finals." Cole said with a little envy.

After the Warriors and Mavericks game, the entire NBA was plunged into a brief frenzy, and the following has always been a favorite script for fans, let alone the Black Eight this time.

On the basis of the Black Eight, the Warriors' Black Eight style of play is also the first time that people have seen that the bombardment team can also make a big difference in the playoffs.

In TNT's latest episode, Barkley and Smith also talked about bombardment tactics.

"The bombardment tactic, which has proven to be a playoff tactic that does nothing in the playoffs over the course of the past few decades, but this year, the Suns eliminated the Lakers 4-1 and the Warriors eliminated the Mavericks 4-2! It's spring to shell the team! Barkley said excitedly at the beginning of the show.

"yes, now I believe it's going to be a trend in the league, and like a lot of people have said, it's always going to be the team with the most points to win the game, no matter what method you use." Smith agreed.

"That's how basketball progresses, and it's going to make the game a lot more enjoyable."

"Yes, but the next game is a bigger challenge for them, the Warriors will challenge the Rockets, and the Suns will also face the Spurs, Kenny, let's predict a wave, which two teams will advance to the Western Conference Finals?"

"The Suns, and the Rockets." Smith thought for a moment and said.

"Huh?"

"The Spurs are very strong this season, but their style of play is very restrained by the Suns, and the game will be intense, but I believe that after 6 games, the Suns will have the last laugh, as for the Rockets, they have proven in the first round of the playoffs that they are one of the championship teams, the Warriors have fierce offensive firepower, but this is not a problem for Tang Tian, he has always liked to make tactical arrangements for opponents." Smith went on to analyze.

"Hey, man, you really have a lot of respect for Tang Tian, can the coach really decide on a series? I don't have the same opinion as you, just look at the regular season record between the Warriors and the Rockets, 2-2, after the Warriors traded for Jackson and Ellington, they both won the game, so I believe that this year's Western Conference Finals will be a matchup between two bombardment teams! Barkley exclaimed.

"Then let's see." Smith spoke.

In the first two rounds, the two players won one game each in the bets related to the Rockets, and now this is the match point game.
