Chapter 233: A Burst of Superstars
PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!
The red light came on, and Joe Johnson stood in the spotlight in a daze, the light was so dazzling that he couldn't even open his eyes.
The camera shows Al Horford, who is in a suit and leather shoes on the bench, a tall and handsome young man with a bare head, with a grim expression, silent and speechless, as if he has just attended a funeral.
For the Hawks, the season has almost come to an end, with the Atlanta fans leaving the stadium and the smell of gunsmoke in the air.
Philadelphia fans celebrated and reveled as much as they could, and there had never been a series in the history of the NBA playoffs that had been 3-0 down and then turned over, and even though it was a league full of miracles, even the long-pying diehards themselves didn't believe in the miracles that happened to the teams they supported and loved.
The 76ers will almost 100% advance to the Western Conference finals, and Tang Wenlong's performance at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends at the last moment of the G3 battle has been deified, comparable to countless superstars.
The head coaches of the remaining 29 teams in the league are in their hearts, you know, he is not yet 22 years old, is he another "Tim Duncan"?
At this time, the most regrettable is the Wizards, although the interview is still a dead duck mouth, firmly believe that the "champion" Wall will definitely reach the level of the league's supergiant in the future, but when comparing the progress of the champion Lang in two seasons with the list of eyes, it is found that it is a world of difference, remembering the scene when Tang Wenlong himself came to the Washington trial camp to participate in the trial, the general manager is really regretful in private.
Right after this game. Each year's Team of the Year is announced.
Similar to MVP selection. The best team is also voted for by sports journalists and TV commentators in the United States and Canada. According to the lineup of two guards, two forwards and one center, everyone chooses the three sets of lineups in their minds, the players in the first team get 5 points, the second team gets 3 points, the third team gets 1 point, and the final total score, the top 5 is the best team of the year.
During the labor negotiations that stalled last year, the league set a "Rose clause" for young players on rookie contracts. According to the old collective bargaining agreement, the maximum salary of a young player who ends his rookie contract and the team's contract extension can only be 25% of the team's salary cap, but once the Rose clause is activated, the renewal salary can be 30% of the salary cap, and the upper and lower salary can be 5 percent!
That's not a small amount, it's a big piece of the pie, and it's clear that the prerequisites for activating Rose's clause are difficult: an MVP on a rookie contract of four years, or a two-time All-Star Game starter or a two-time All-Star selection.
In contrast, there is only the third condition, and two selections to the league's All-NBA Team of the Year are more reliable for the vast majority of young NBA players. In such a situation, the Team of the Year. Whether it's a one, two, or three, it's full of bonuses.
Tang Wenlong's emergence made this year's best team selection more volatile.
In the center position, Howard is still outstanding, and the only one who has an impact on him is Bynum of the Lakers, but in terms of personal data, Warcraft still has an absolute advantage.
In the forward position, Durant and James firmly occupy the position, and James's personal efficiency this year is off the charts, not only scoring highly, but also shooting high, and even the three-point seems to have become accurate.
In the end, Tang Wenlong and Kobe Bryant formed the backcourt partner of the best first team, Kobe was impeccable, and Tang Wenlong set a record for the youngest to be selected to the best first team.
Last year, Tang Wenlong won a best second team, and this year he achieved a breakthrough, look at the players who were selected into the first team at the same time as him, Kobe, James, and Durant, all of whom are supergiants in the league, that is, under such a halo of glory, Tang Wenlong's status as a supergiant in the league has been laid and affirmed.
Then came the second team selection, Chris Paul, Westbrook, Kevin Love, Blake Griffin and Andrew Bynum.
All five players are from the West, with Love, Griffin and Bynum all being named to the All-Star Team for the first time, and as soon as they were selected, they were directly in the second team. Love and Griffin are considered to have unlimited potential, and the media is starting to talk about the best power forward, and as Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett and others are getting older, both have a chance to compete for the top striker.
Tony Parker, Wade, Anthony, Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler were named to the third team. The Spurs, who have the second best record in the league, only Parker was selected, and the Bulls did not have anyone who could be selected to the All-Star team, and the Knicks, who were swept by the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs, were selected two players at once.
When the best team is released every year, there will always be a lot of discussion, and it will be better for a while, and there will always be many questions about the second and third teams.
On May 18, the 76ers and Hawks Game 4 began, again at Phillips Arena in Atlanta.
There were a lot of fans from Philadelphia who came to the scene, and there was even a hardcore big fat fan, holding a whiteboard with a black broom painted on it, which means that the 76ers will sweep the Hawks. He stood in the middle of a crowd of dark blue Hawks fans in a black jersey, receiving an almost murderous gaze from all sides.
Everyone thinks that the Hawks will definitely work hard, and if they are swept in the second round, it will be more humiliating than being swept in the first round, and it is not conducive to the interests of every Hawks player, you know, this is a playoffs, and all every move will be studied under a magnifying glass, and the Hawks have many players whose contracts expire after the end of this season.
If the contract year does not break out, it is that you can't get along with your money.
It's a pity that in the first quarter of the game, the 76ers played a wave of 15-3 shockwaves, directly hitting the Hawks' players, Tang Wenlong didn't score much, but handed out 5 assists, creating a new high in his single-quarter assists in the playoffs.
Since then, the Eagles have been playing the role of chasing points, but the players told themselves in their hearts that what if they won this game? There has never been a team in history that has come back from 3-0 down.
I was angry and wanted to play a good game, but it was inevitable that the field would become frizzy and the details were handled very badly.
By the middle of the third quarter, the Hawks offensive chain was broken, and there were no points for four or five minutes, and the score difference was stretched to 20 points.
In the end, the 76ers defeated the Hawks by 23 points 106-83, and except for the third game, when the two teams played extremely anxiously, the other three games were almost all devastating victories.
The 76ers swept the Hawks and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
