When the whistle sounded, the fans on the scene were filled with despair.

The Lakers players' eyes were also full of disappointment.

James's body trembled slightly.

It would be fine if he lost to Tang Tian, ​​but he actually lost to Durant!

This is really crazy!

But soon he adjusted his emotions. When he reached his age, he would lose if he really lost.

Moreover, in this game, he had a 35+ triple-double, plus the previous 40+ triple-double, he really tried his best.

The Lakers fans at the scene began to applaud and cheer for their players, especially James, which was mixed with a lot of "LeBron" roars.

But on the other side of the court, the Pelicans are already celebrating the victory.

They were not favored, but they did it in the end!

Durant was even lifted up by his teammates and threw it into the sky.

In this round of series, Durant averaged 36 points per game, making him the team's well-deserved number one hero for the promotion.

It is no exaggeration to say that they felt like they were playing next to Tang Tian in this series!

The Pelicans' celebration lasted for a while, and after completing the handshake with the Lakers, they returned to the locker room to celebrate.

Tang Tian greeted Curry at this time and prepared to go to the locker room.

However, as soon as he walked into the player passage, he was stopped by reporters.

The Pelicans members all went to the locker room to celebrate. They couldn't interview anyone, which just blocked Tang Tian.

There is no way, Tang Tian can only answer the questions on behalf of the team members.

"How do you evaluate Durant's performance?"

The first question for the reporter was Durant.

Just like the data shows, Durant is the most critical factor in the Pelicans winning the series.

"He defeated his destiny."

Tang Tian used very simple words to summarize.

This answer also satisfies the reporter.

Durant said in an interview before, "My friend said this is my destiny." Tang Tian's answer now means that he has confirmed that Durant's friend is him.

"If you give Durant's performance in the series one, how many points would you give? The full score is 10."

Journalists seem to like to ask questions about rating.

"11 points, no more points, don't be afraid of him being proud."

Tang Tian also replied very directly, which made the other reporters laugh.

"We know that the Spurs are now leading the Clippers 3-2, and the next game is also playing in Los Angeles. Who do you want the Pelicans to play in the next round?"

After asking some regular questions, the reporter then began to ask about the subsequent competition.

"It's okay with anyone. I believe that after going through such a series, no matter who the opponents in the later game are, they have the courage to defeat them."

Tang Tian's answer is the same as before, full of confidence in the Pelicans.

After answering the reporter's question, Tang Tian went to the locker room. Durant was already wet with water by his teammates.

It’s not that there is no champagne at home, but looking at this move, they are really as excited as they won the championship.

The Pelicans won the Lakers. Except for the Spurs and the Clippers who have not finished playing one day later, three of the four groups have already ended.

In the east, the Bucks continued to sweep the Pistons 4-0 and advance into the duel.

Their opponent has also been confirmed, the Celtics beat the Pacers 4-1 and successfully met the Bucks in the Eastern Conference Finals.

In the West, after the Pelicans finished the series, they were waiting for the winner between the Spurs and the Clippers.

Stevens did not arrange for the players to watch the live broadcast of the game, he just pulled the coaching staff to watch it together.

In the end, despite the away game, the Spurs still did not give the Clippers many opportunities, and they won 103-88, 4-2 in front of the Western Conference Finals.

The Clippers won two games before, and in addition to their strength, they were also very lucky.

However, it is already incredible that the Clippers can play until now and have won two games under the Spurs.

You should know that this is Doncic's second season, and this magical boy from Europe is really amazing.

After watching the game, Stevens and the coaching staff felt that it was right that they would not allow the players to watch the live broadcast.

The Spurs look stronger than last year.

Now the team does not have Tang Tian, ​​so it is really difficult to beat them.

Although they didn't want to say that they could destroy morale, they all knew that the Pelicans were likely to stop in the Western Conference Finals.

Two days later, the Dongjue took the lead in fighting.

Antetokounmpo almost invincible after shooting, and with Irving, Hayward, and Lopez opening up space, the Bucks showed absolute dominance.

The Celtics were beaten and couldn't find them.

Although Tang Tian hopes Walker can win, the strength gap between the two teams is a bit big.

In the end, the Bucks defeated the Celtics 113-93, winning the first victory in the Eastern Conference Final.

Tang Tian sent Walker a text message to comfort him, but the latter was not very depressed. As the core of the fight to the Eastern Conference Final, he had realized his self-worth.

After the Eastern Finals, the Second Western Finals also kicked off.

This time the Pelicans have to start from the away game.

Tang Tian also went to San Antonio with the team in the first game.

He also knows that the Pelicans are not as strong as the Spurs. Not to mention the playoffs, the regular season record of the two teams is 1-3.

If we talk about it from an objective fan's perspective, Tang Tian feels that the Spurs have at least 70% chance of winning.

Of course, the series is long and anything can happen.

Just like the Pelicans were not optimistic about being able to eliminate the Lakers before, they did it in the end.

If you can do it once, you will naturally have the chance to do it twice.

But to do it, just like playing against the Lakers before, the first game will be very critical.

The Att Arena that night was full, and the enthusiasm of Spurs fans was the highest since the GDP era.

The reason behind this is naturally Leonard.

Leonard ushered in a real professional peak this season. Although his data is not as dazzling as Durant and Antetokounmpo, it is more because the Spurs also have stars like George and Aldridge.

The quality he showed on both offense and defense on the court is very oppressive.

The game started soon, and Durant encountered the defensive treatment he deserved at the opening.

This made him feel uncomfortable, especially in the playoffs, where the defensive intensity was stronger than the regular season.

Moreover, Leonard's assisted defense reached a terrifying speed. Even if Durant passed the ball to Davis in time, Leonard's assisted defense made Davis very uncomfortable.

101 to 81, 102 to 92.

This is the final score of the first two games of the series.

With super high pressure defense, the Spurs limited the Pelicans' scoring to below 100 points in both games.

Although Durant averaged nearly 30 points per game in two games, his shooting percentage dropped sharply from 50% to about 40%.

A very intuitive reality is that without Tang Tian, ​​this Pelicans team is obviously not a match for this Spurs.
Chapter completed!
