Chapter 335: The Ultimate Weapon (2/5!) )

On the offseason, Tang Tian went to the league headquarters in New York to receive his best general manager trophy.

He became the first head coach in NBA history to win the award.

The league officials also held a press conference for him at the headquarters, and President Stern also attended.

Holding a trophy with a round shape and a transparent glass in the middle, Tang Tian's first words made the reporters happy.

"I think the league should have another trophy next time, it makes me feel like I'm looking in the mirror, but I'm a man."

Stern on the side also followed suit, and Tang Tian always liked to skin it from time to time.

"Thank you to the league, thank you Mr. Gilbert for the opportunity, thank you to the Cavaliers management for their efforts, and of course I would like to thank my assistant Keith Jones most of all, he is such a good person and it is the luckiest thing to work with him."

After that, at the press conference, Tang Tian also answered reporters' questions one after another, most of which were the general manager's daily life, such as transaction motives, team planning, etc.

Tang Tianyi has accumulated a lot of experience in the season, and when answering questions, he is also fluent.

"I think some people should be disappointed, but I'm sorry, reality is reality."

At the end of the press conference, when the reporter asked Tang Tian what else he had to say in the end, Tang Tian said directly.

He doesn't like to hide it, and since it's already done, of course he has to put it on hard.

This sentence suddenly ushered in an uproar.

According to people familiar with the matter, Anji was furious in the general manager's office and directly smashed all the antiques he had treasured for more than ten years.

After the press conference, Tang Tian rushed back to Boston.

Winning Game 1 was a good start, but the Celtics have always been known for their tenacity, and the series certainly wasn't that easy to end.

The good news is that Wallace is younger after all, and his physical condition is not as bad as O'Neal's, and although the first game was played for a long time, there was no physical reaction.

In this way, it means that in the second game, the Cavaliers are still full of ruffians.

After a day's rest, Game 2 of the series resumed in Boston.

In this game, the Celtics' Big Three had a smooth hand and took the initiative in the opening game.

However, after that, the Cavaliers fought to catch up with Wallace's emotional mobilization and James' leadership, and they were stunned to tie the score in the first quarter.

Momentum, in this kind of high-intensity competition, plays an incredible role.

But it was also at this moment that the Celtics unleashed their ultimate weapon.

Wallace was fouled by Glenn Davis and Perkins before and after, and went straight to the ground, and Davis was still sitting on Wallace.

"Roaring Tianzun" covered his shoulders with his hands and looked painful, and finally the team doctor went directly to the stretcher.

Tang Tian was completely furious, if it weren't for Casey and Cassel's desperate pulling, he would have rushed up to give Davis and Perkins two punches at this time.

Davis was whistled for a second-degree malicious foul and was ejected directly, and Perkins also received a first-degree malicious foul.

But the trend of the game has also changed qualitatively.

Whether it was Anderson or Frye, they looked very immature in this kind of game, and the Cavaliers lost in the end.

And worse than the loss, Wallace was sat by Davis to the already twisted arm, the shoulder girdle ligament rupture, and the direct season reimbursement.

At the press conference after the game, Tang Tian was furious.

"Dirty! Shame on basketball! They don't deserve to be in this league! ”

This time, Tang Tian did not receive a fine from the league, and the league also issued an additional 1-game ban to Davis.

However, Wallace's injuries are irreparable.

Even if Tang Tian has honor points, he can't use it.

If the ligament rupture injury is fine for two days, he is afraid that he will have to be pulled to study.

After a two-day break, the teams moved to Cleveland.

Garnett has a clear advantage in the No. 4 position, Anderson can attack, but the defensive end is too problematic, and Garnett's disadvantage is too great.

The Cavaliers fought hard and lost the game 91-103 in the end.

Losing Game 3, the Cavaliers fell behind 1-2 for the first time since they entered the playoffs, and the promotion situation was worrying.

"The league should have fined the Celtics heavily, and this kind of behavior is not tolerated in the basketball game." Barkley was very upset on TNT's show.

"The Cavaliers' hard work for a season has been in vain." Kenny Smith said helplessly.

Although indignant, both fans and the media know that the Cavaliers have basically said goodbye to this year's playoffs.

The Cavaliers also adjusted the odds of winning the Cavaliers, from 2.2 to 1 to 3.9, the lowest of the four teams.

"Don, you've done well enough, it's not your responsibility to lose, and like you said at the beginning, our future is in the summer." Even the team owner Gilbert comforted Tang Tian in private.

"No, I'm not going to give up."

Tang Tian's answer was firm.

The Celtics have the ultimate weapon, and he has it too.

After the daily training of this day, Tang Tian directly called James to the head coach's office.

"LeBron, I have a very important task for you in the next game."

"Mission?" James looked confused.

"Defend Garnett."

"We're going to play a small squad for the next game." Tang Tian didn't wait for James to ask a question, and said directly.

In the playoffs, because of the defensive intensity and the physical strength of the veteran, the Cavaliers had defensive counterattacks, but they didn't play very much, and now they were cornered, and he could only choose to fight.

"I see." James was a smart man and soon knew what Tang Tian was going to do.

After a two-day break, Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals continued in Cleveland.

With a 2-1 lead, if you win this game, it's match point innings, and for the Celtics, their goal in this game is to give it their all.

It's the same against the Cavaliers, it can even be said that this is a game they must win, and they will try their best to drag the game into Tianwang Mountain.

Cleveland fans frantically flocked to Quickloan Arena, they were the most passionate fans and the strongest supporters when the team was in desperate situations.

"Wait, we'll win the game." During the pre-game interview, James's firm tone also gave a big reassurance to the fans who rushed over.

In the majestic opening ceremony, the starters of the two teams were introduced in turn.

There were no changes to the Celtics starting lineup.

But the Cavaliers have changed dramatically.

Kwame Brown replaced O'Neal as the starting center.

Ryan Anderson also disappeared from the starting line-up, replacing him with Artest.

Louis Williams also replaced Beverley as the team's starting point guard.

Only two of the five starters remained, and the average height dropped.

Cavaliers, this is a magnification move!
