The Godfather of Basketball

This year's buyout market has many sought-after goods.

Kevin Martin, who was bought out by the Jazz, Ty Lawson, who was bought out by the Rockets, Andre Miller, who was bought out by the Timberwolves, and Joe Johnson, who was bought out by the Kings, all lured the playoffs The team is about to move.

The Nets also aimed at two goals, one was Humphries who had just reached a buyout with the Suns, and the other was the "captain" Elton Brand who was still playing for the 76ers.

Humphries still has NBA-level immediate power. He played 68 games for the Wizards this season, averaging 6.4 points and 4.1 points, and 4 games for the Suns, averaging 7.3 points and 8.1 rebounds. The buyout was mentioned by myself, the purpose is naturally to hope to join a playoff team to play in the playoffs.

Tang Tian is very interested in him. He has a tough style and is not afraid of confrontation. He is the type of player he likes.

The situation of the other player Elton Brand is more special.

The "Old Captain" is 37 years old. He played only 17 games with the 76ers this season, averaging 13 minutes of playing time, basically his last season, but his mid-range shooting is still stable, and compared to Humphrey. Reese's playoff experience is obviously more abundant.

After consideration, Tang Tian finally chose the younger Humphries.

The Nets' lineup is actually enough. The 15th person will not have too many opportunities to play regardless of who is signed. To put it bluntly is to prepare for injuries.

He didn't want to sign a third substitute for a power forward, and he had to be forced to use honor points.

And Humphries is just 31 years old. If he performs well, he can still stay with him next season.

Humphries was not at all against joining the Nets. The one he contacted the most after he was bought out was the Hawks, but the strength of the Hawks was a lot worse than the Nets.

A base salary contract was renewed until the end of the season, and the Nets' playoffs list was officially confirmed.

Point guards: Deron, Livingston, TJ McConaughey

Shooting guards: Gordon, Booker, Taylor Johnson

Small forwards: Butler, McGrady, Jefferson Jr.

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, David West, Humphries

Centers: Jokic, Oden, Pralim

This list is much more balanced than at the beginning of the season. It can even be said that every position has a substitute that can be used for rotation. The depth is full. Even in the east, it has a strength to fight against the Cavaliers.

And the more interesting thing for Tang Tian is that the previous generation Yi Jianlian and Humphries have been teammates, and this is the same team again, but the situation and the low position are already very different from the previous life.

The final list of the playoffs has been determined. The remaining 20 games have only one purpose for the Nets, to maintain their status, avoid injuries, and wait for the final playoffs.

Tang Tian made the Cavaliers the only opponent in the East this year, so after securing his second position in the East, he did not blindly go to the record, but gave the bench players as much opportunity as possible to keep them in shape.

In fact, it's not just the Nets. The Cavaliers also learned well after last season's consecutive injuries with Love and Irving. They also played well in the second half of the season.

As a result, teams from 3 to 8 in the East are struggling for the ranking, but the top two teams have all become Buddhist teams.

Compared to the east, the situation in the west is exactly the opposite.

The Blazers, Mavericks and Grizzlies are struggling to impact the rankings in the first half. The Thunder sitting in the first half is struggling to impact the Spurs' second position in the west. The Warriors are basically locked in the league's first position. Next, he started catching up with the Cavaliers' 74-win record in the 2010 ~ 2011 season.

"We don't care how many games we win, or whether we can break the record, we are just enjoying the game."

Although Cole said low-key and forced words in front of the media, but Curry could not hurt the fire line slightly, Green missed Barnes and played the whole series of performances. The Warriors care about this.

In fact, it ’s hard not to care, this record may be the only chance for all the Warriors players in their entire career.

After all, the Cavaliers lineup was unlikely to appear again in the league.

But at the same time, the Warriors are also trying their best to prevent them from winning. When someone tries to impact history, no one wants to be a background board, because this background board is too bright.

The Warriors' winning streak continues, but they have suffered continuously.

On April 6, the young Timberwolves small universe broke out. They withstood the tide-like attack of the Warriors and simply dragged the game into overtime.

In overtime, the young Timberwolves played more vigorously, and the Warriors in continuous fights showed obvious fatigue.

Curry made 0 of 3 shots in overtime and Thompson made 0 of 2 shots. They eventually conceded victory and swallowed the eighth defeat of the season.

This defeat also means that they are unable to break the Cavaliers' regular season record, and the most goal can only be tied.

Cole and his Warriors don't seem to want to miss this opportunity.

They continued to work hard in the following games. When the time came to April 16, they used a wave of 5 straight wins to improve their record to 73 wins and 8 losses.

From the time they tied the record, only the last regular season game remained, or home.

The very interesting thing is that their home opponent is exactly the Nets.

The Nets had ended the Warriors' 24 straight victories before.

Because we can witness the birth of history, the audience of the Oracle Arena was 100%.

They can both avenge the Nets and tie the history, they will never want to miss such a good opportunity.

But after the game started, they found that things were not that simple.

The Nets have been playing in the Buddha department recently, but Tang Tian doesn't seem to want the Warriors to easily break the record. The main force is all on, and all of them are out of the state.

The Warriors opened the first quarter and the two wave of counterattacks before the end of the second quarter were carried by the Nets. Www.novelmtl.com ~ At the end of the half, the score on the field was 56 to 53, the Warriors Only 3 points ahead of the Nets.

This result made the fans on the scene agitated. If this game is lost, the fans will be depressed for a long time.

Won the revenge flat record, but lost not only missed history, even swept directly by the Nets regular season!

Fans are upset, and the media are also worried. During the intermission, the reporter interviewed Tang Tian.

When the reporter asked if the Nets played so hard, they didn't want to become the full-time Warriors, Tang Tian smiled.

Chengquan definitely doesn't want to achieve it. He used to make history by himself, but now he wants to be the last background board. How could he think about it?

Of course, there is another more important reason.

"We have to prepare for the series that may come."
