The Godfather of Basketball

The Thunder made it to the Western Conference Finals, which seems to be expected by most people. Now, the final round of the series that fans are looking forward to is only short of the last round of the series.

The Thunder players finally breathed a sigh of relief. After defeating the Grizzlies, there were more smiles on the training ground. They became more confident and calm than before.

"Let's put down the burden and play against the Heat, maybe our chances of winning will be better." Wharton looked at the state of the players on the field.

Tang Tian smiled and said nothing.

It is a good thing for the players to relax. I hope this mentality will allow this group of young people to perform well in the next Western Conference Finals.

After all, before the finals, standing in front of them was probably that old opponent.

"Luke, come with me to San Antonio." Tang Tian suddenly turned his head and said.

Wharton nodded, he naturally knew what Tang Tian was going to do.

The Thunder swept the Grizzlies and advanced to the Western Conference Finals first, but their opponents have not yet been finalized. After a fierce battle between the Spurs and the Warriors, the two sides are now tied 2-2 with a big score. war.

Tang Tian naturally went for this.

It was not the first time for Tang Tian to come to the AT\u0026T center arena, but it was the first time as a spectator to watch the Western Conference semifinals here.

This arena, which can accommodate more than 18,000 people, is full of seats. Being in it, Tang Tian can feel the momentum and confidence emanating from his surroundings.

After targeting the team owners, Tang Tian had some basic understanding of each team's owners.

As far as the owner of the Spurs is concerned, he is quite distinctive and well-known in the league.

Pete Holt, the largest crawler tractor in the United States, is right, a tractor seller, sitting on the league’s traditionally powerful Spurs team, but his net worth is the lowest in the league. In the latest Forbes list, his net worth Only more than 200 million, even less than Tang Tian.

But such a poor boss, after buying the Spurs, has built it into a powerful team step by step. Apart from luck, his ability is not bad at all.

Looking at the atmosphere of home fans not losing to the Celtics and Lakers, you know that this is by no means something that can be cultivated within a few years.

Just as Tang Tian was wandering away from the immortals, a long whistle sounded from the arena, and the fight on Tianwang Mountain officially started.

In the second half of the regular season, Mark Jackson has begun to reuse Draymond Green. This Warriors team also has the prototype of the 73 wins in the previous life. They are somewhat similar to the Thunder, and they are gradually showing their accumulated talents. come out.

After the start of the game, the outside double guns fired frequently, and the "starting killer" Jack who came off the bench was extremely brave. At the end of the half, the Warriors turned away and led the Spurs 62 to 50 by as much as 12 points.

This young team is very likely to replicate the Thunder's success and reach the Western Conference Finals.

"If it's the Warriors, it will really test our scoring ability." Wharton's eyes lit up at this time, and his saliva could be seen with the naked eye.

"Maybe, but the Spurs are not that easy to deal with." Tang Tian smiled. With Popovich around, it would be difficult for the Warriors to overcome the Spurs' hurdle.

Back in the second half, the Spurs really made adjustments. He put Ginobili in the starting lineup and made Duncan swing to the fifth position.

This lineup has significantly increased the team's defensive mobility on both ends of the offense and defense. The Warriors' double guns are severely suppressed, as if there is a net on the outside and another net on the inside, directly interweaving into a net.

The Spurs recovered the point difference little by little, and by the time the quarter reached more than 9 minutes, they had completely wiped out the point difference.

Just like Tang Tian expected, this Warriors team is not good enough offensively, and it is very difficult to beat the Spurs.

"They should play faster. I think that Green is very good. Seeing him carry Duncan a few times, he is very powerful." Wharton was a little impatient at this time, acting as if he wanted to direct the Warriors. .

Tang Tian didn't speak, he had already started to imagine the scene of the game against the Spurs in his mind.

The biggest difference between this Spurs and the previous one is Leonard. Although the offense has not yet been developed, the defense is already very good. He will definitely limit Durant a lot. Coupled with the current posture, The Thunder may not have an absolute chance of winning.

Maybe everything goes back to six years ago, and it can only run to death or drag down this Spurs team.

But if you play like that, it will consume a lot of money for the Thunder, and it's really hard to say against the Heat.

After all, because of his relationship, James has become stronger, and Wade's knee has not been injured like in his previous life, which will definitely not be easy.

"God! Incredible!" At this moment, Wharton's shout brought Tang Tian back to his thoughts.

After returning to the field, Tang Tian was also stunned.

After tying the point difference, the two sides began to replace the substitutes one after another. During this period, Jack of the Warriors scored 7 points in a row, including the 2+1 that just caused Wharton to marvel. This is to help the Warriors The team abruptly opened the score again.

The game continued on the court, Mills missed a three-pointer from the outside, and returned to the defensive end, the Warriors opened up to Jack for a single. Jack's layup caused Neal's thug foul and got two free throw opportunities!

Jack made two more free throws, and the point difference was close to double digits, forcing Popovich to take the initiative to call a timeout with one minute left in this quarter.

At this moment, Tang Tian suddenly realized one thing, this Spurs team was a little different from his previous life.

Because of his relationship, Danny Green, the defensive core on the outside, is in the Cavaliers at the moment, and Dior, the core inside on the bench, is in the Thunder.

This Spurs team is weaker than the previous life.

Coupled with the fact that Ginobili started the game in the second half, the Spurs' bench firepower was obviously insufficient.

Back from the timeout, the Spurs scored the last two attacks, narrowing the point difference to 6 points.

There is still one quarter in the game, and the 6-point difference is still full of suspense.

However, Tang Tian still felt that the Spurs could win.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, it was still Jack who made a sudden pass, widening the point difference to double digits, forcing the Spurs to be the main force ahead of schedule.

When the game reached the end of the fourth quarter, their physical fitness began to have obvious problems. Parker's consecutive singles missed, Curry and Jack's consecutive outside shots, amidst the restlessness of the fans at the scene, the Warriors even held on to their advantage!

103 to 99.

What Tang Tian didn't expect was that the Warriors won the battle of Tianwang Mountain!

Jack scored 30 points, plus 6 three-pointers from Curry and Thompson, the Warriors really won!

Seeing the Warriors running on the field at the end of the game, and Wharton beside him with an excited face, Tang Tian suddenly felt that his Sky Eye was not working well.
