The Spurs remained the first in the West, and Popovich began his habitual rest in the last four games.

"GDP" didn't play, and Tang Tian and Leonard didn't play much either.

After the game with the Hornets on this day, Tang Tian met an uninvited guest in the stadium.

A Chinese man in his forties, wearing that standard formal attire and holding a briefcase in his hand, looked like a domestic official.

"I am Huang Zhen, an official of the Chinese Basketball Association."

When the other party reported to his home, Tang Tian already knew the other party's purpose.

2012 is the Olympic Year, and the opponent will definitely recruit him into the national team.

The 2008 Olympic Games was held in Beijing, and the Chinese team won the first place in the medal list and the gold medal list, achieving a historic breakthrough.

That year, under the leadership of Yao Ming, the men's basketball team also reached the quarterfinals of the Olympics, tying the best record in history.

Yao Ming's comeback from the hotline touched countless fans, and that men's basketball team was also called the strongest men's basketball team in history.

Four years have passed, Yao Ming retired, and Yi Jianlian is not satisfied with his NBA.

The core members of the men's basketball team, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu and Wang Shipeng, have also grown old one after another.

In addition, the Basketball Association does not pay any attention to or does not know how to train young players, and now there are signs of being in the end of its strength and not being able to meet the situation.

"We hope you can represent the national team to play in the 2012 London Olympics. Of course, you don't have to participate in the training camp like other players. We can also discuss the reporting time. Anyway, everything is mainly for your convenience."

Because he is not a player in his physique, this person named Huang Zhen is very polite when speaking.

Tang Tian did not speak immediately.

He is not incompatible with playing in the Olympics for the national team, he is a patriotic person at heart.

And because of living for a lifetime, this national sentiment is even stronger than that of ordinary people.

However, this Olympic Games is very awkward because he has just finished his rookie season, and the following offseason is very critical for him.

In other words, before the rookie contract ends, he gets a limited salary and exchanges skills, and training is a must-do.

Moreover, his current strength is limited. Joining the men's basketball team and being able to play to the quarterfinals is already favored by the goddess of luck, and it is not that meaningful.

Of course, there is the last and most critical point.

The men's basketball team is now like a dead game, and it needs to be broken before it is established.

If he joins and helps the team stabilize the record, it is equivalent to allowing the game to continue, which is delaying the renewal of the men's basketball team, which is also unfavorable in the long run.

"I need time to think about it, and then discuss this matter after the playoffs."

Tang Tian did not make a decision immediately.

"No problem, this is my contact information. If you have a decision, you can contact me at any time."

Huang Zhen said and handed Tang Tian a business card.

Tang Tian accepted the business card and took a look at the official. To be honest, the Basketball Association selected the personnel well.

The Spurs won the Wizards in the last game with all the main players resting, and their record was finally frozen at 52 wins and 14 losses.

This is the last regular season game in the league. With the end of this game, the 2010-2011 suspension season also ended.

Tang Tian also ended his own pioneer season.

He played a total of 65 games in his rookie season, including 29 starts, averaging 26.6 minutes per game, scoring 14.1 points, 2.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks, with a shooting percentage of 49% and a three-point shooting percentage of 51%.

His scoring is second only to Parker and Duncan in the Spurs, and is ranked third in the team before Ginobili.

Among the rookies, Tang Tian's score was second only to Irving's 18.5 points and Walker's 16.2 points, ranking third in rookies, and ranked first in all rookies in steals.

As a No. 31 pick, he performed in the top three picks in the 2011 rookie.

Although the playoffs have not started yet, his performance proves that the Spurs really found treasures at last year's draft.

The first pick in the second round made the other 29 teams missed perfectly. Although the Heat management was unwilling to admit it, they also regretted it.

With the end of the regular season, the quarterfinals of the East and West are also newly released.

This side of the west.

The Spurs' 52 wins have 3 more wins than the Bulls' 49 wins, and they are also the No. 1 in the West.

The Thunder followed closely with a record of 46 wins and 20 losses.

In addition to these two teams, the 3-8th place in the West is in a mess, and the biggest win between each other is only 5 games away.

The Lakers' strength has declined significantly, and they finally ranked third in the West with a record of 41 wins and 25 losses.

The Grizzlies ended fourth in the final victory and defeat with the Lakers, although they also had 41 wins.

The three Clippers' Big Three's running-in effect was not very good in the first year. Although they have won the reputation of an All-A-Chain City, they only ranked fifth with a record of 40 wins and 26 losses.

The Nuggets were somewhat unexpected. They traded core Cameron Anthony, but played offensive basketball under the leadership of George Carl. The team's six players averaged double-digit points per game, ranking sixth with a record of 38 wins and 28 losses.

The Jazz ranked seventh in the West with a record of 36 wins and 30 losses.

The defending champion Dallas Mavericks ended up in eighth with a record of 35 wins and 31 losses.

In this way, the first round of the Western Conference playoffs will be released.

The Spurs will play against defending champion Mavericks;

Thunder meets the Jazz;

The Lakers face the Nuggets;

The Grizzlies will compete with the Clippers for a promotional quota.

The first round matchup in the East was also released at the same time:

Bulls VS 76ers; Heat VS Knicks; Pacers VS Magic; Celtics VS Hawks.

(Attached, the Eastern Conference record: Bulls 49 wins and 17 losses, the Heat 45 wins and 21 losses, the Pacers 42 wins and 24 losses, the Celtics 39 wins and 27 losses, the Hawks 40 wins and 26 losses, the Magic 37 wins and 29 losses, the Knicks 36 wins and 30 losses, and the 76ers 35 wins and 31 losses.)

The Eastern and Western Conference quarter-finals and matches were confirmed, and major media also started the championship prediction early at this time, and the Spinach website also opened the championship odds as soon as possible.

The Heat rank first in major media websites and spinach odds lists.

"The Heat's record this season does not reflect their strength. Wade's absence in the second half of the game is the reason why their record fluctuates.

Their real record should be around 55 wins. In the second year of the Big Three, they will undoubtedly be the hottest winner in the championship."

ESPN columnist Chad Ford gave such comments, just like he predicted the draft, he always liked to get early.

The Thunder, Bulls, Spurs and Lakers ranked 2 to 5th, and they are the second tier of the championship team.

"The Spurs are the league's first record and they should have been in a higher position in this list, but age is a major factor limiting their performance.

We know that the schedule for the suspension season is very intensive, and after the intensive regular season, they will usher in a more intense playoffs."

Ford's comments are also quite appropriate. The most tortured team in the suspension season is this kind of elderly team.

Shuijiao has unknowingly watered 170,000 words this month. There should be nothing in the new book that can be more watery than me.
