The Godfather of Basketball

The game between the 76ers and the Nets is over, but the discussion about Mitchell and Simmons' best rookie is raging.

"They're both good, they're more like Jason Kidd and Grant Hill to me."

In the face of the media's questioning after the training day, Tang Tian used this description.

Grant Hill and Kidd both performed very well as rookies from 2004 to 1995.

The former averaged 19.9 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5 assists and 1.7 steals per game in his rookie season. In that era of advocating confrontation, his shooting percentage reached 47.7%, which was an absolutely excellent performance.

But Kidd averaged 11.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 7.7 assists and 1.9 steals per game in his rookie season. Although his shooting percentage was not high, he did what a point guard requires: making the team better.

He had five triple-doubles that season and led the Mavericks from 13-69 the previous season to 36-46, lifting his teammates Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn from 19.2 points per game each. To 25.7 points and 24.1 points.

Hill and Kidd also shared the rookie of the season.

In terms of regular season performance, Simmons and Kidd are a bit similar, and Mitchell is a bit worse than Hill, but after the playoffs, his evaluation is very pertinent.

It also gives fans and the league a new direction, and maybe they can share the best rookie.

After Tang Tian had finished speaking, the discussion on this topic was able to subside.

At this moment, people's eyes were attracted by another person.

LeBron James.

In the case of Deron's poor performance due to injury and his teammates getting lost in various ways, James continued his magical performance.

Lost in the first game with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists, but immediately scored 42 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists in the second game to help the team win.

In the third game, he scored 28 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, and in the fourth game he scored 46 points, 8 rebounds and 11 assists to lead the team to reverse.

Tianwangshan was weak with 26 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, but followed the sixth game with 44 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, abruptly dragging the series into the tiebreaker.

"It sounds like shit, it's a 34-year-old player, but what we're probably witnessing is the best LeBron possible." Barkley was unimpressed on TNT's show.

But James like this deserves all the praise.

"He is still the best player in this league." Tang Tian was not stingy when asked this question by the reporter.

Although there were some grievances in the past, one size fits all, and James' performance is worthy of this evaluation.

And he also hopes that James can play better. It would be even better if the Cavaliers can win.

The Warriors and Rockets in the Western Conference have finished their first game. The Warriors won 120 to 100. Without Tucker, the Rockets will not be able to fight, and the Warriors will still have a high probability of entering the finals.

For the Warriors, with Durant, a super small forward who is no worse than James, it would be a good thing for the Nets to adapt in advance.

The tie-break between the Cavaliers and the Celtics started at the North Shore Garden Arena, and the Celtics at home are expected to have a high probability of advancing.

Tang Tian didn't go to the scene, but watched the live broadcast at home with a small notebook.

The whistle after the opening was relatively loose, resulting in strong confrontation and high defensive intensity on the field, making it difficult to score.

This made the Celtics feel like a fish in water, leading the Cavaliers 21 to 13 by 8 points at the end of the first quarter.

In the second quarter, James didn't rest for a minute, leading the team to counterattack, abruptly closing the score.

The score at halftime was 43 to 41, and the Celtics only led by 2 points.

Tang Tian took a pen to record some details of the two teams on the field, and at the end of the halftime, he bit his pen and thought about it.

In the previous life, the Cavaliers and Celtics also played 7 games. In the end, the Cavaliers won by relying on James’ large quasi-triple double, but now the Celtics have one more Hayward and Thomas Jr. than in the previous life. How will the outcome be? No one knows.

Swift and Hathaway took the kids upstairs knowing he was at work.

Seeing that he was free now, Hathaway came down with a glass of lemonade.

"I'm afraid you won't be able to fall asleep after drinking the coffee." Hathaway said with a smile.

Tang Tian kissed Hathaway and hugged her for a while.

The two chatted for a while, and when the second half was about to start, Hathaway got up and went upstairs again.

Looking at his wife's back, Tang Tian suddenly felt that after two more years of coaching, he should really retire.

Just like Jordan said that he no longer needs to prove anything in basketball, he doesn't need to prove anything as a coach.

Compared with basketball, he should spend more time with his family.

The game between the Cavaliers and Celtics continued in the second half.

As soon as the third quarter came up, the Cavaliers took the lead. James made sudden shots to help the Cavaliers establish a nearly double-digit lead.

The two teams hit the decisive stage of the fourth quarter and were still tied.

In the stalemate until the last two minutes, Hayward scored consecutive breakthrough layups to help the Celtics establish a 4-point lead.

But at the critical moment, James' big heart scored 2 heads-up three-pointers to overtake the score.

It was a direct climax when Tatum broke through James' dunks before the end of the game, but the ultra-difficult fallback followed by James made people look wet again.

With 6 seconds left in the game, the Cavaliers held a 2-point lead.

Stevens' timeout.

The fans at the scene felt painful to breathe, but their eyes were fixed on the field and they dared not move.

Stevens is known as the second Tang Tian. Apart from his excellent tactical ability, he is most praised for his timeout.

As long as you pause and come back, you can basically play out the tactics.

This time was no exception. Although the Cavaliers tried their best to defend, Hayward still got a three-pointer at the last moment.

The ball was shot at the buzzer and passed through a high parabola.

"Shua!"

A crisp sound echoed in the North Shore Garden Arena. Hayward's three-pointer at the last moment was like a sharp sword piercing the heart, directly shooting the Cavaliers off the horse.

The whole arena is boiling.

Their signings in the summer will definitely make a lot of money.

The Cavaliers watched the Celtics celebrate in bewilderment, and James shook his head helplessly with his hands on his hips.

But at this moment, no one noticed that Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue rushed to the technical table.

The live broadcast has ended, and the host began to discuss the next game between the Celtics and the Nets. Tang Tian also put down his pen to prepare for the match against the Celtics.

But at this moment, the camera suddenly cuts back.

The live broadcast showed the slow-motion replay of Hayward's lore just now. After five or six consecutive replays, the referee changed the penalty and stretched out his hand to make a gesture that the lore was invalid.

The fans on the scene in the camera are full of disbelief, and the Celtics players are even more confused, but the Cavaliers are celebrating wildly.

Tang Tian choked on the lemonade, and couldn't help shaking his head with a smile after recovering.

This is so fucking dramatic.
