Chapter 1152 four.four.four
The day before the Warriors won the tiebreak, all the games in the East were over.
James scored another 40+ triple-double in the tiebreak battle, helping the Cavaliers defeat the Nets 4-3 to enter the Eastern Conference Finals.
Their opponent is the Bucks who defeated the Raptors 4-1 and advanced early.
The Cavaliers, who are in poor form, have only lost one game in the playoffs.
I believe James fans still believe in the Cavaliers, but more people know that the Bucks are likely to regain their glory more than 40 years ago this year.
After two days of rest, the Eastern Conference Finals started first.
As fans expected, the Cavaliers were in a sluggish state and it was very difficult to play against the Bucks' four-star lineup.
Although James scored 30+ triple-double again, the Cavaliers still lost 102-110, losing their home advantage.
The next day, the Warriors flew to New Orleans and prepared to fight the Pelicans in the first match of the Western Conference Finals.
After they arrived, they underwent a two-hour training session.
After the training, Green was surrounded by a group of reporters.
The news that he had been choked by fox reporters before became popular, and naturally became the focus of media attention before the game.
However, his mentality adjusted very quickly. He responded freely to the reporter's hinting questions or questions.
"It doesn't make sense to say more. You will understand what I said after the game tonight."
"You mean the Warriors will win tonight?"
A reporter from fox continued to ask after listening.
This is the rhythm of catching Green to death.
"Yes, of course."
Green gave a very positive answer.
Even though the outside world questioned and joked about him, he still had a big mouth.
This is exactly what the media thinks.
Before the opening match of the Western Conference Finals, reports and jokes about Greene rose to a new level.
On the evening of the game day, the New Orleans Arena was already full and the players arrived at the Arena one after another.
"I said Draymond's face is really thicker than a burger."
Walker couldn't help but complain in the locker room.
"That's a stupid x!"
Butler was obviously unhappy with Green.
"No, he's very smart."
Tang Tian said a completely different view.
Walker and Butler were confused when they said this, and even Davis followed suit.
"Not bad reputation is also a reputation."
Tang Tian continued.
Walker and the others didn't say anything after hearing this, and after a while they nodded one after another.
Green was slapped in the face again and again, and his mouth was big again and again, giving people a very stupid feeling.
But after hearing Tang Tianyi said that it was not that simple.
A real system player like Green did not prove himself outside the Warriors.
If he is low-key, he will be another Iguodala, and he will definitely not get the maximum salary in the next contract.
But if you gain fame, you will be strong and famous in the free market, and call it "spiritual leader", the market will definitely be better.
"But it's unpleasant, we're a stepping stone."
Walker continued.
This is very well said. Regardless of the game, Green's name has arrived.
Even if they were talking, they were helping Green make a name for themselves.
"Not all, then sweep them, his words are a joke."
Tang Tian continued.
Everything is moderate. Last year, Green yelled to win, but at least he played 2-4 with the Pelicans.
But if you clamor for winning this year and end up being swept away, it will become a joke just like what Tang Tian said.
Walker and the others nodded.
If the Warriors don't give them a chance, Green is just a jumping clown.
With an hour left before the game begins, the Pelicans enter the field early to warm up.
It can be seen that they attach great importance to tonight's game.
The stadium is full, and the Pelicans' warm-up has also attracted a lot of attention from home fans.
Tang Tian’s several dunks during warm-up caused cheers from fans on the sidelines.
When the warm-up was over and Tang Tian was on the sidelines early to rest, a local reporter seized the opportunity to interview him.
Because he was a local reporter, Tang Tian did not refuse.
"Green said the Warriors will win the game tonight. What do you think of his comments?"
Because the Pelicans did not arrange training in the afternoon, the reporter's question was the first time.
Tang Tian smiled, stretched out his hand, spread his thumb inward, made a 4 gesture, and did it three times in a row.
“four.four.four.”
With the gesture, he said 3 4.
If you are a non-basketball fan, or even a non-senior basketball fan, you may not understand what this means.
But the media resident reporter was quite senior, and he immediately got Tang Tian’s gesture and what he said.
This is a famous saying and a piece of history.
This history can be traced back to 35 years ago. At that time, in 1983, the core of the 76ers was Moses Malone, the top 50 stars in the sky.
Malone was successfully elected as MVP in the regular season that season and was the first player in NBA history to win MVP again.
At that time, his 76ers team also had "Dr. J" Irving, as well as All-Star player Andrew Tony and other outstanding players.
The 76ers at that time were also similar to the Pelicans, and they were the most dominant team in the league.
They achieved the league's best record of 65 wins and 17 losses in the regular season, and entered the finals with a record of only 1 loss.
And this famous saying comes from before the finals that year.
At that time, a reporter asked them that they would meet the Lakers in the finals in the round, and Ma Long's answer was exactly the same as Tang Tian's just now.
3 4, meaning sweep.
This was quite a show-off at that time.
You should know that the Lakers have "Magic" Johnson, "Tian Gou" Jabbar, and "No. 1 pick" James Worthy.
Although Worthy missed the playoffs due to injury, the Lakers without Worthy just beat the Sixers to win the championship last season.
Let’s not talk about whether the 76ers can win, this sweep is completely a forceful show-off!
But unfortunately, Malone really succeeded in the end, and the 76ers really completed their revenge and swept the Lakers to win the championship.
People who fail to pretend to be successful will not be remembered by history, but people who pretend to be successful are destined to be written into historical books.
So when Greene was clamoring for the Warriors to win, Tang Tian expressed his thoughts in the simplest and most resonant way.
Stop saying that I want to win, I am ready to sweep you all!
This is really a pussy and a pussy, and there is a gap in the realm of pretending.
Moreover, the Pelicans won 80 wins in the regular season, so they are not forced to pretend at all.
To put it in detail, Ma Long's record before the 76ers finals was 8 wins and 1 loss, and he lost one game, and he couldn't say he had a real three-game sweep.
But the Pelicans won 8 wins and 0 losses in the first two rounds. If this really swept the Warriors, it would be a clean and neat sweep.
In other words, this pussy is pretending to be. Although it is not as early as Ma Long, it is definitely bigger than Ma Long!
