The Godfather of Basketball

At the press conference after the game, Iverson, James and Paul followed Tang Tian to attend.

After asking questions related to the series, the reporters naturally focused on Iverson.

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

"No." Tang Tian answered very simply.

"We were at a disadvantage at the beginning of the second quarter. We needed veterans to stand up. Allen played very professionally. He helped us after he stood up. He deserved those minutes."

"Will he continue to appear in the game after that?" the reporter asked.

"Of course, our rotation will be adjusted according to the status of the players, so as to bring out the best of the team." Tang Tian answered in the affirmative.

"Chris, I have noticed that you pass the AI ​​a lot on the field. What made you choose to do this?" The reporter finished asking Tang Tian, ​​and then aimed at Paul.

"He is in shape, and I have always believed in him. In fact, it is my honor to be able to send assists for the idol."

"Idol?" The reporter looked excited.

"Yes, I entered the league and chose the No. 3 jersey because of AI. His unyielding and tenacity guided me a lot." Paul said without hesitation.

As soon as these words came out, the reporters below were instantly blown away. This can be regarded as absolute shocking news!

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

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

Paul gave a shy smile.

"LeBron, how do you evaluate AI's performance tonight?" The reporter finally asked James.

"Legend, you know that Allen is 36 years old, but he still played such a good performance in the playoffs. He is a role model for all our players and deserves the respect of all of us."

James is paying tribute to the legend with his words.

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

Excellent performance can dispel a lot of rumors, and playing such a game, Iverson has completed self-salvation.

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

116 to 87, the Cavaliers still easily defeated their opponents, thus sweeping their opponents 4 to 0 and advancing to the second round, which is also the first team to advance to the playoffs.

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

With an average margin of 35.5 points in 4 games, the strength of the Cavaliers is as direct as the point difference reflects.

Because the potential opponent Celtics and the Eagles tied 2-2, I really don't know who the opponent will be in the next game.

The team's daily training was over that day. When Tang Tian went to the locker room, he saw the players shouting.

Looking closer, it turned out that it was idle and boring, and who was Artest's opponent in the game there.

"The Eagles lose 2 to 1, and the Celtics lose 3 to 1. Come on, buy it and let it go!"

"Eagle, 1000."

"Eagle, 5,000."

"Celtics, 2000."

...

The team members are also bored during training, and their laughter and laughter are also very cooperative.

"Celtics, half a million."

"Celtics, 50..." Artest looked up and saw Tang Tian, ​​and smiled awkwardly.

Although there is no law in the United States that prohibits gambling, there are regulations 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 didn't mean to blame Artest.

After putting away the things, Artest scratched his head embarrassingly.

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

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

"How is that possible? I'm eager to beat them. I haven't settled with them for hurting Rashid in the playoffs last year!" Artest showed a ruthless face.

Not only Artest, Barnes, Wallace, and Beverly behind them all showed ruthlessness.

Well, if you really face the Celtics, this year will be really exciting.

"Ding!"

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

He took it out and looked at it, it was from woj.

"Congratulations, Tang, you have won the best general manager of the season again."

This news is not too unexpected.

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

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

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

This is a historic achievement.

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 elected the regular season MVP.

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

In this award, the probability of this happening is really very low, because the voters are the CEOs of the teams.

Not only does everyone have different evaluations of the general manager, but many people will vote for the general manager of their own team.

Selfishness is human nature.

But this time, everyone including the CEO of the Rockets voted for Tang Tian.

This has nothing to do with personal grievances, but the facts.

Tang Tian is also worthy of the honor of creating a realistic version of the "Buddha Shark" team.

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

Taking advantage of the offseason, he also went to New York to receive his second best general manager trophy.

What's interesting is that the league really adopted his previous suggestion and made design changes for the trophy.

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

Tang Tian was a little dumbfounded.

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

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

After three days of rest, the series between the Celtics and the Eagles came to an end.

Just as Tang Tian expected, after hitting Tianwang Mountain, the Celtics showed their tenacity, limiting the Eagles' scoring to less than 90 points in two consecutive games, going straight to two games, and eliminated their opponents 4-2. , once again approaching the Eastern Conference semifinals.

At the same time, the Western Conference playoffs also had the fourth black eight in NBA history, and the Grizzlies eliminated the Spurs 4-2.

Although there have been some minor changes in the Grizzlies lineup and previous lives, history has not had a butterfly effect.

Just after this, all the matchups in the Eastern and Western semifinals have been released.

In the West, the upstart Thunder team played against the dark horse Grizzlies; the Mavericks played against the Lakers.

In the East, the Bulls faced the Magic, and the Cavaliers, and the Celtics, met again in the playoffs.
