Chapter 655: Season Summary (1/4!) )

The Western Conference finals were played vigorously, and the attention of the Eastern Conference was relatively low, and no one thought that the Nets could cause much impact on the Cavaliers.

In fact, only coach David Blatter said in an interview that the Nets would be a difficult opponent.

The opening match between the two sides started in Cleveland, and Tang Tian returned to Kecheng and looked at the statue outside the stadium, which was also a special feeling.

After the game began, the Nets' tenacity exceeded the expectations of all Cavaliers players.

The cooperation on the offensive end, the hard work on the defensive end, although they are young, they are really full of vitality.

The Cavaliers were caught off guard, and at halftime, they trailed the Nets 49-53.

Even after halftime adjustments, at the end of the third quarter, the Cavaliers only led the Nets by one point at 68-67.

However, in the final moments of the fourth quarter, talent still decided the outcome of the game, and James beat Johnson in a row to help the Cavaliers win the game.

"We underestimated them, they were the toughest opponents we've faced since the playoffs." After the game, Blatter praised the Nets' performance.

It wasn't just a rhetoric, the second game was even more intense than the first, and it was a controversial walk-through layup that narrowly won the game for the Cavaliers.

With a 2-0 scoreline, regardless of the process, this result already shows that the Nets have little hope of winning.

Even Barkley predicted that the Nets would be swept 99 percent.

But back in Brooklyn, in the cheers of the fans, the Nets played energetically, and finally with DeLong's 30+ and Yi Jianlian's 26 points and 17 rebounds double-double, the Nets won 118-111 at home!

Experts were stunned, and fans saw unprecedented hope.

However, this game also made the Nets fight all their strength, and in the following games, despite their best efforts, they still had a gap in talent, and finally were eliminated 1-4.

But the fans in New York, or all the fans, gave the Nets the highest rating.

You must know that on paper alone, the Nets and the Cavaliers have no strength to fight at all, and as a result, they not only won 1 game, but also lost 4 games, losing an average of single digits per game, and it is definitely worth looking forward to in the future.

After losing the Eastern Conference finals, Tang Tian's first season in charge of the Nets also came to an end.

10-20 in the opening game, a change of coach, Lopez left the team, and the season was full of twists and turns but advanced to the playoffs, the first round of the playoffs was black-eight, the second round was reversed, and the division finals won the strongest knights in the East.

The Nets' performance this season can be said to have surprised many people, and it has also made the team look forward to the future of this team.

However, Tang Tian's attitude was still relatively conservative.

The Nets can finally reach the Eastern Conference finals, which has a lot to do with the hard work of the young players and the opponent.

If it weren't for Jokic's rise, the team would probably have stopped in the Eastern Conference semifinals, and if it wasn't for the Hawks and Wizards, but one of the Cavaliers and Pacers, they would have been eliminated in the first and second rounds.

The talent of this team is still not enough, and the salary structure is still not reasonable.

In other words, even if it reaches the Eastern Conference finals, this team needs to change in the summer, and it is a big change, otherwise, if the luck of the new season is not so good, this team will only be beaten back to its original shape, and it will also make the fans' expectations plummet.

But as Tang Tian has been saying at press conferences, the future of this team is still bright.

With Joe Johnson on a one-year contract, and with two first-round picks and one second-round pick in their hands for this year's draft, the offseason is definitely worth looking forward to.

The final of the Eastern Conference is over, but the West is in full swing.

The Thunder and the Warriors, Kerr and Stevens, staged a pinnacle showdown on this stage.

The 2-2 score shows that the strength of these two teams is between them, and they also need to usher in the crucial battle of Tianwang Mountain.

Because the season has ended, and there is a period of time before the draft, Tang Tian took the time to go to Auckland to watch the two sides of the king mountain.

Oakland has a developed economy and a large number of Chinese, and the ball market here is not inferior to super first-tier cities such as Los Angeles and New York.

The game started quickly, and to everyone's surprise, an unexpected scene broke out in the game.

The Warriors took the lead in the opening stanza, with Curry and Thompson hitting back-to-back three-pointers against Harden.

Westbrook was unhappy with Harden's defensive attitude, and the two had a heated argument on the court.

Stevens reacted quickly and called a timeout to calm the two of them, but on the sidelines, the quarrel between the two continued, not only did not subside, but there was a tendency to intensify.

Tang Tian felt very uncomfortable in his heart, the internal contradictions of this thunder seemed to have reached the point of irreconcilability, and it was really not impossible to dissolve it like this.

Although he is no longer the coach of the Thunder, he is the team he once coached.

Stevens replaced Westbrook and kept the game going, while he also worked hard to persuade Westbrook off the court.

Durant and Harden worked together to play a wave of counterattacks, but Harden's defense did have a big problem, and Ibaka continued to help wipe his ass, and he committed 2 fouls in less than half a quarter.

And these two consecutive acts also set the tone of Tianwang Mountain.

On paper alone, the Thunder is obviously stronger, but the internal contradictions and Harden's defense allow the Warriors to seize the initiative on the court little by little, and the three-point firepower of Curry and Thompson is really unstoppable.

119-111, the Warriors won the most critical Tianwang Mountain.

Curry and Thompson combined for 12-of-20 three-pointers, including eight three-pointers by Curry.

After the game, Tang Tian went to the locker room to talk to Westbrook and Harden, but as an outsider, he did what he could to persuade him, but he found that both of them had changed a lot this year.

Harden has become more inflated and arrogant, while Westbrook has become a little neurotic with a win-mad paranoia.

Tang Tian's persuasion had little effect, and the future of this thunder in the West Decisive was also very worrying.

Two days later, the Thunder played the Warriors at home.

In the key battle, Westbrook performed bravely, carrying various shocks of explosives, while Harden fell into a slump, not only choosing to hesitate, but also making frequent mistakes.

But fortunately, Curry and Thompson's three-point shooting is not as brave as the two games.

In the end, with Westbrook's brave performance of 32 points and 7 assists and Durant's stable output at key moments, the Thunder narrowly defeated the Warriors 113-111 and dragged the game into a tiebreaker.
