The invincible kryptonite of basketball

"That's right, there are also the Warriors you mentioned, as if the Warriors didn't advance because of Leonard's injury. That is the real reason why the Spurs led by 25 points before the injury!"

"By the way... I always feel that the AD fan's way of naming and speaking is very familiar."

Chapter 977 Season Harvest Warriors

The game between the Pelicans and the Rockets finally came to an end.

At the same time, the Eastern and Western semifinals have also ended one after another.

In the East, the Cavaliers once again swept the Eagles 4-0.

Budenholzer was beaten with some doubts about his life.

Tang Tian's former No. [-] assistant coach and former best head coach had entered the countdown to leaving the Eagles.

The Knicks beat the Raptors 4-1.

The garbage brothers still failed to take off the hats on their heads, and the Raptors played the performance of the dragon playoffs in the regular season for the Nth time.

The Warriors swept the Spurs 4-0.

After Leonard was injured, the Spurs completely lost the capital to compete with the Warriors, and this result was expected.

In this way, the Eastern and Western finals have been determined.

It is still last year's four teams that advanced to the conference finals.

The Cavaliers and Knicks in the East, and the Pelicans and Warriors in the West.

The Knicks have enough capital to pose a threat to the Cavaliers this year, and the Pelicans and Warriors will have a truly epic matchup.

The defending champion Pelicans with 70+ for two consecutive seasons, sitting on the league and even quasi-historical No.1;

With the peak four-star team, including the league's first point guard and former second small forward, the four-star Warriors team is rare in history.

Coupled with the full ornamental confrontation intensity at the beginning of the century.

No matter how you look at it, this is the most exciting round of series in the league in the past ten or even 20 years.

In fact, at the moment the match was confirmed, all the tickets for this round of the two teams were cleared, and the scalper market was even more popular than ever.

And this is also the ultimate showdown between superstar basketball and group basketball.

The game has not yet started, but the ratings predictions given by major media are all super-record.

At this time, the league announced the fourth batch of awards of the season.

There is still only one award this time, the league's best general manager.

Warriors' Bob Myers beat out Knicks general manager Steve Mills and Cavaliers general manager David Griffin to be named the best general manager of the season for the first time in his career.

He got more than 50% of the vote.

There is not much controversy about this election. After successfully recruiting Durant in the summer, the Warriors' strength has gone further than last season.

To put it bluntly, last season's Warriors were swept by the Pelicans, and this season's Warriors have a chance to beat the Pelicans.

This is change, and this change comes from the lineup change, and the general manager should take the lead.

After the Warriors won this honor, counting the previous best head coach, they made up for what they didn't get in the past few seasons, which can be described as a bumper season.

Of course, the weight of these awards is not high. Defeating the Pelicans and Cavaliers/Knicks and regaining the championship is the biggest gain.

The third season of Pelicans is the most exciting and exciting season. Fans are talking about it on social media, and the media will definitely not miss it.

In the latest episode of TNT's program, in addition to the Big Three, they also invited two absolutely heavyweight figures.

"Magic" Johnson and "Basketball God" Michael Jordan.

It is not surprising that Johnson made a wonderful appearance in front of the media, but after Jordan became the team owner, this is the first time he has appeared in such a large-scale program.

In fact, even TNT was just trying to invite, but Jordan actually agreed this time.

The content of the program involves the changes of the league, the evaluation of the league stars, and of course the most important thing is the prediction of the next division finals.

Everyone agrees that the Cavaliers will win the Knicks as in the past, even if the latter has more Wall.

In their view, Wall has never proven himself in the playoffs.

But in the predictions of the Pelicans and the Warriors, the opinions of the five people have relatively large differences.

"That's the most like our team I've ever seen."

Johnson backed the Warriors.

"Top stars, top-notch offense, and great defense. That's the modern day showtime."

The reasons given by Johnson are also quite simple.

"Yes, my reason tells me that what the magician said is correct. Curry and Durant's singles ability is much better than Paul and Harden. Don's defense is very strong, but he can only limit one of them. So I root for the Warriors."

Kenny Smith is a very rational person, and he is also on the side of the Warriors.

"Hey! Hey! Kenny, you never learn a lesson, do you want to wear pink dresses again?"

Barkley's way of saying it really deserves a beating. Smith laughed and shook his head when he was said. If time could go back, he should never have worn that damn skirt.

"The Pelicans are the defending champions. They lead the Warriors 2-1 in the regular season, and they just defeated the Rockets, which has three superstars, 4-1. Now you tell me they can't beat the Warriors?"

Barkley looked at Smith with disdain.

"I support Charles, the Pelicans have Don, they are invincible."

O'Neill didn't need to explain much about this Tang blowing, just started blowing directly.

After the four people's views were finished, they all looked at Jordan in unison.

There is obviously a reason for the program group to find five people. Now the approval rate is 2 to 2, and it depends on who Jordan supports in the end.

"Michael."

Johnson spoke.

"Pelicans, I've been in that situation, I've done it, Don's going to do it, stepping over opponents that look strong."

Jordan's words unconsciously pretended to be a coercion. He stepped on a bunch of superstars to reach the top, and then he completed three consecutive championships twice.

It can be seen from these words that Jordan admires Tang Tian quite a lot.

This was also expected, since the last time the two got together, he had shown his affection to Tang Tian on various occasions.

He's paving the way for free agency a few years from now.

This episode of TNT's program has extremely high ratings, and Jordan's views are even more exciting for Pelicans fans.

The conference finals are coming soon, and the Pelicans are also actively preparing for the game.

After the day's training was over, Tang Tian lay on the soft chair in the locker room to watch the video, in which was a video of his two sons chasing Mei for a sprint.

To say that the little lion has grown into a big lion, although he is still very docile, Tang Tian dare not let his son play with him now.

"Don, did you watch yesterday's show?"

At this moment, Dio came over and said.

"What program?"

Tang Tian stayed with his son after returning from training yesterday, and never watched TV or mobile phones.

"TNT, predict our game, who do you think is more favored?"

As Dior spoke, he sat next to Tang Tian and glanced at the tablet.

"This cat is miserable."

Tang Tian rolled his eyes at Dior, this guy talks dirty all day long.

"Let's go."

He continued.

"Hey, you guessed it right, Charles, Shaq and Michael all think so, 3 to 2."

Dio continued.

Charles is Barkley, Shaq is O'Neal, Michael?Are you the invited guest?

"Which Michael?"

"Which other Michael?"

"That Michael?"

Tang Tian was stunned.

"Yes, Michael Jordan."

Hearing what Dior said, Tang Tian, ​​who was always calm, suddenly felt a little flustered.

Chapter 978 The Third Season of Pelican Warriors

Others have vicious mouths, but Jordan is not vicious, he is poisonous.

He still vaguely remembers playing against North Carolina in the quarterfinals.

North Carolina played poorly in Jordan's first half. In the second half, Jordan left North Carolina alive and well and almost turned the game over.

Believe it or not, metaphysics is there.

Seeing Tang Tian's expression, Dior seemed to think of something too.

Jordan was a god when he played, and he is also a god after retiring, but he is just a god.

"It's okay, we are very resistant to poison, you have turned Barkley into a fool."

Dio said with a smile.

Tang Tian smiled and shook his head.

Things like metaphysics are beyond human control.

The day before the Western Conference finals, the Warriors arrived in New Orleans.

Like the previous Thunder and Rockets, they will also start the series with the Pelicans away from home.

But the difference between the Thunder and Rockets before is that the Warriors are obviously more confident than them, and their daily training after their arrival is open to the outside world.

In the highly anticipated series, the reporters who came to the sidelines also got together.

But before the training was over, Curry and Thompson went back to the locker room first.

When the training was over, Durant and Green were still practicing extra, and head coach Cole became the target of reporters' siege.

Long guns and short guns, impenetrable.

"What do you think of TNT's latest show, Michael thinks the Pelicans are more likely to win the series."

The reporter's questions focus on the hot spots, and the questions that come up are quite novel.

You must know that Cole was Jordan's original teammate, and now the former teammate is not optimistic about his team.

"That's a good thing."

Cole said with a smile in his eyes.

This sentence is very simple, but it expresses all the multi-layered meanings.

"How is Durant doing now? We know he hasn't played very well against Don since last season."

The tone of the reporter's subsequent questions was relatively moderate, but the content was very sharp.

It is no exaggeration to say that Durant suffered from Tang Tian phobia before.
