The Godfather of Basketball

The day after the party, Tang Tian returned to the Toyota Center.

During the two days that the Rockets were on vacation, the NBA playoffs continued, and the most notable one was naturally the match between the Warriors and the Mavericks. In the four games, they made persistent efforts and made another victory, extending the total score to 3 to 1.

This score drove the league into madness! You must know that since the playoffs changed from a 5-game 3-win system to a 7-game 4-win system, no eighth-ranked team has achieved this kind of lead!

The first "Black Eight" after the restructuring seems to be close at hand.

This score also affects the whole Rockets team, because it is related to their opponents in the next round of the series.

But the focus is on the focus, the Rockets have not missed a bit of training after returning from a break. No matter who the opponent is in the next round, their own state is the most important.

The Mavericks struggled to come back in Game 5, allowing the series to continue and giving the Rockets more time to recover and practice.

A week after the end of the series with the Jazz, all the Rockets have basically recovered from the fierce battle, and the Mavericks and Warriors also ushered in the sixth game of the series.

This is a game destined to be recorded in history. If the Warriors win their last home game, they will make history and become the first "black eight" team after the series reorganization. Going back to the Mavericks' home court, then they are likely to become the ninth team in history to be overturned with a 3-1 lead.

After finishing the day's daily training, Tang Tian also pulled the team members into the conference room to watch the battle of focus.

The game started quickly, and the two sides played very fiercely at the beginning. The Warriors frequently fired shots from the outside, while the Mavericks relied more on hitting the basket to score.

At halftime, the Warriors led the Mavericks by only two points, 50-48.

The change came in the third quarter. After the Warriors shrunk their defense in this quarter, the Mavericks were completely choked on the offensive end. Nowitzki was in no state when facing Biedrins. They only scored 15 points in a single quarter. On the other hand, the Warriors, Under the leadership of Jackson, he continued to make three-pointers outside the three-point line, scoring 36 points in a single quarter.

After the third quarter, the game has entered garbage time, and the first "Black Eight" team after the restructuring in history was born.

The game is not over yet, the media has gone into a frenzy, and the Rockets players are screaming with excitement. It must be better to play the Warriors than the Mavericks. This is God helping them to reach the Western Conference Finals.

Tang Tian's body trembled uncontrollably.

He didn't pay much attention to this round of the series before, because he didn't know whether his intervention would have a butterfly effect, but now what happened in the previous life happened again, and he made the right bet!

He asked Tang Tian Company to buy two bets before. One bet is that the Warriors will win, and the odds are 5 to 1. The bonus he gets now will be 5 million + 20 million = 25 million!

After tax deduction, he can get about 15 million at one time!

This has exceeded the after-tax salary of an NBA top-paid player!

This is really an instant riches.

"Coach? Coach?"

It was only when he heard shouts coming from his ears several times that he slowly came back to his senses.

"What?"

"The match is over, can we leave?" It was McGrady who spoke, and he was looking at Tang Tian suspiciously.

"Yes, let's go here first, and train as usual tomorrow afternoon." Tang Tian controlled his excitement, and continued.

"Oh! Guys, let's go!" Maddie ordered.

"Don't drink too much, don't stay up late, I told you so." Tang Tian got up and reminded.

"We know, coach, we know." The Rockets players echoed, and then all laughed and left the conference room.

Thibodeau and Cole also went to the office to sort out the tactical data against the Warriors.

After everyone had left, Tang Tian finally couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, got up and yelled excitedly twice.

"It seems that Don is more excited than us." Thibodeau turned to Cole when he heard the sound from the conference room.

"Yes, what a wonderful start, reaching the Western Conference finals in the first season." Cole said with a little envy.

After the game between the Warriors and the Mavericks, the entire NBA fell into a short period of madness. The next game has always been a favorite script for fans, let alone this time it is a black eight.

On the basis of the black eight, the Warriors' black eight play is also the first time that people have seen that the bombarded team can also make a big difference in the playoffs.

In the latest episode of TNT, Barkley and Smith also talked about bombardment tactics.

"The bombardment tactic has proven to be a playoff tactic for decades, but this year, the Suns beat the Lakers 4-1 and the Warriors beat the Mavericks 4-2. ! This is the spring of bombarding the team!" Barkley said excitedly at the beginning of the program.

"Yeah, now I believe it's probably going to be a trend in the league, like a lot of people have said, the team that wins the game is always the team that scores more, no matter what method you use." Smith agrees Said.

"This is the improvement of basketball, which will also greatly enhance the enjoyment of the game."

"Yes, but the next game will be a bigger challenge for them. The Warriors will challenge the Rockets, and the Suns will also welcome the Spurs. Kenny, let's predict the wave, which two teams will Make it to the Western Conference Finals?"

"The Suns, and the Rockets." Smith thought for a while and said.

"uh-huh?"

"The Spurs are very strong this season, but their style of play is very restrained by the Suns. The game will be fierce, but I believe that after 6 games, the Suns will have the last laugh. As for the Rockets, they have proved in the first round of the playoffs They are one of the championship teams, and the Warriors have fierce offensive firepower, but this is not a problem for Tang Tian, ​​​​he always likes to make tactical arrangements against opponents." Smith continued to analyze.

"Hey, buddy, you really admire Tang Tian so much, can the coach really decide a series? I don't have the same opinion as you. Look at the record of the Warriors and the Rockets in the regular season. 2-2, in the Warriors After the team traded for Jackson and Ellington, they both won the game, so I believe that this year's Western Conference Finals will be a confrontation between two bombing teams!" Barkley said loudly.

"Then let's wait and see," Smith said.

In the first two rounds, the bets related to the Rockets won one round each, and now it is the match point.
