At the post-game press conference, Iverson, James and Paul were accompanied by Tang Tian.

After asking questions about the series, it was natural for the reporters to focus on Iverson.

"Coach, Iverson didn't play in the first two games, but he played 21 minutes in this game, what changed your decision? Was it because of some comments from fans before the game? ”

"Nope." Tang Tian replied very simply.

'We started the second quarter at a disadvantage and we needed the veterans to step up and Allen was very professional, he helped us when he got up and he deserved that playing time.

"Will he play again in the next game?" The reporter asked.

"Of course, we will rotate the squad according to the condition of the players and bring out the best in the team." Tang Tian gave an affirmative answer.

"Chris, I noticed that you give a lot of passes to the AI on the field, what made you choose to do that?" After the reporter finished asking Tang Tian, he aimed at Paul again.

'He's in form, and I've always believed in him, and actually, it's an honour to be able to provide an assist for my idol.

"Idols?" The reporter's expression was excited.

"Yes, I entered the league and chose the No. 3 jersey because of AI, whose indomitable and tenacity guided me a lot." Paul did not shy away from saying.

As soon as these words came out, the following reporter instantly fried the pot, which can be regarded as an absolute fierce material!

Tang Tian was also slightly surprised, although there were many rumors in the previous life that Paul and Wade chose No. 3 because of Iverson, but he admitted in public that this was the first time he had heard it.

"Chris, you're going to grow into a better player than me." Iverson said with a smile and turned his head.

Paul smiled shyly.

"LeBron, how would you rate the AI's performance tonight?" The reporter finally asked James.

"Legend, you know Allen is 36 years old, but he still played so well in the playoffs, he is a role model for all of us and deserves the respect of all of us."

James is paying homage to the legend with his words.

The NBA is a business league, but more basic is a basketball league.

Excellent performance, able to dispel a lot of rumors, and playing such a game, Iverson completed self-redemption.

After a two-day break, Game 4 of the series between the Cavaliers and 76ers continued in Philadelphia.

116-87, the Cavaliers still easily defeated the opponent, thus sweeping the opponent 4-0 to advance to the second round, and the first team to advance in the playoffs.

It is worth mentioning that Iverson's performance is still stable, with 12 points, 3 assists and 2 steals on 4-of-8 shooting in 18 minutes.

With an average of 35.5 points per game in four games, the Cavaliers' strength is as direct as the point difference reflects.

Because potential opponents Celtics and Hawks are tied 2-2, I really don't know who the next opponent will be.

At the end of the team's daily training on this day, when Tang Tian went to the locker room, he saw the players yelling there.

When I looked over, it turned out to be idle and bored, and Artest was there to suppress the opponent of the game.

"The Hawks are 1 to 2, the Celtics are 1 to 3, come on, buy and leave!"

"Eagles, 1000."

"Eagles, 5000."

"Celtics, 2000."

……

The players are also bored in training, and the laughter and laughter are also very cooperative.

"Celtics, 500,000."

"Celtic, 50 ......" Artest looked up and saw that it was Tang Tian and smiled awkwardly.

While there is no law in the United States prohibiting gambling, there are rules within the Cavaliers.

"Okay, don't play this in the locker room if you don't want to go bankrupt." Tang Tian was in a good mood, and he didn't blame Artest.

When he put things away, Artest scratched his head in a wry.

"Coach, can the Celtics really win?" When he stood up, Artest asked.

"What? Are you afraid of them? Tang Tian said with a smile.

"How is it possible, I can't wait to beat them, I haven't settled accounts with them about hurting Rashid in the playoffs last year!" Artest grimaced.

Not only Artest, but also Barnes, Wallace, and Beverley behind them all showed ruthlessness.

Well, if it's really against the Celtics, it's going to be a good show this year.

"Ding!"

At this moment, Tang Tian's mobile phone rang.

He took it out and looked at it, it was sent by OJ.

"Congratulations, Don, you've been named General Manager of the Season for the second consecutive year."

This news is not too unexpected.

He put his phone away, chatted with the team, and headed back to the office.

Not long after he returned, the NBA officially announced the best general manager for the 2010~2011 season.

Tang Tian received all 30 first-place votes, got 150 points, and was unanimously elected as the best general manager.

This is an achievement that brushes up on history.

In the history of the NBA, there have been unanimous votes in the selection of major awards.

In his previous life, Curry was also unanimously voted MVP of the regular season.

But only the best general manager is unique in the past and present life!

In this case, the probability of such an award is very low, because the voter is the CEO of each team.

Not only is everyone's evaluation of the general manager different, but many people will vote for the general manager of their own team.

Selfishness is human nature.

But this time, including the CEO of Team Rocket, they all voted for Tang Tian.

This has nothing to do with personal vendettas, but with facts.

The team that single-handedly created a realistic version of the "God Buddha Shark", Tang Tian also deserves this honor.

In addition to being unanimously elected, he is also the second general manager to win the award after Stan Carsten.

On the off-season, he also went to New York to collect his second trophy for Best General Manager.

Interestingly, the league did take his advice and make design changes to the trophy.

And this change is quite simple, all the personal honors are engraved on the base, and the glass in the ring is removed!

Tang Tian couldn't laugh or cry a little.

He is helping the league save the production cost of the trophy!

After attending the press conference with the trophy, Tang Tian then flew back to Cleveland.

After a three-day break, the Celtics and Hawks series came to an end.

Similar to Tang Tian's expectations, after hitting Tianwang Mountain, the Celtics showed their tenacity, limiting the Hawks' scoring to within 90 points in two consecutive games, losing two games in straight sets, eliminating the opponent 4-2, and once again advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

At the same time, the Western Conference playoffs also saw the fourth Black Eight in NBA history, with the Grizzlies eliminating the Spurs 4-2.

While there have been some minor changes to the Grizzlies' roster and past lives, history hasn't had a butterfly effect.

It was also after this that all the matchups of the semifinals of the East and West have been released.

In the West, the upstart Thunder faced the dark horse Grizzlies; The Mavericks take on the Lakers.

In the East, the Bulls faced the Magic, while the Cavaliers, who had a narrow road with the Celtics, met again in the playoffs.
