On April 4, the playoffs of the 18-08 season started.

In the first round of competition, the top teams in the East and West encountered strong resistance.

The Lakers 4-2 Jazz, Yao Liang's performance was a bit worse when facing opponents such as Boozer and Okur.The series was a bit difficult, but they survived with Kobe's strong performance.

The Cavaliers defeated the Pistons 4-3.

The combination of Milicic + Iverson almost overturned the little emperor James and Zhu Fangyu.

In the seventh game, there was a key penalty at the last moment.

Iverson's fast break was blocked by James.

The referee blew the ball out of bounds.

The Pistons' fast-break scoring opportunity was abruptly "blown away."

And James, who has committed 5 offenses, escaped because of this.

Perhaps because of such a penalty, the final situation of the game was biased towards the Cavaliers.

At the last moment, James broke through and instead of choosing to come by himself, he found Zhu Fangyu who was ambushing in the bottom corner.

Zhu Fangyu hit a three-pointer and killed the game!

The Cavaliers made it through.

Although there was controversy and the noise of the Detroiters was quite loud, it was still nothing in the end.

.

The Eagles eliminated the 4ers 0-76.

The combination of Wu You and Iguodala is good enough. Wu You averaged 31 points per game and Iguodala averaged 24 points per game. They are really outstanding.However, their opponents are too strong.

Billups, Wang Shipeng, Anthony, Wang Dazhi.Ben Wallace, which almost imitated the Nuggets lineup, had an excellent record in the regular season and performed super well in the playoffs.

4-0, they didn't give the 76ers any chance.

.

Suns 3-4 Warriors, Warriors Black Seven success!

A gang of bandits formed by Don Nelson managed to defeat the Suns.

There is just bad news. The Suns' head guard Stephen Nash relapsed with a back injury in the series and withdrew from the game.

The championship dreams of Phoenix fans were once again shattered.

On May 5, when the first game of the Western Conference Finals between the Lakers and the Mavericks started, another place attracted a lot of attention.

The NBA lottery is usually played in the third or fourth week of May.

This year, the bottom six in the league are: 1. Clippers, 2. Kings, 3. Nuggets, 4. Thunder, 5. Nets, 6. Bobcats.

The Clippers have the greatest chance of winning the No. [-] lottery.

Before the lottery meeting, the owner of the Clippers had already let go, "We are looking at Blake Griffin! Our No. [-] pick will definitely be used to choose Blake!"

However, no one believed his nonsense.

More importantly, it is still uncertain who will get the No. [-] lottery.

.

"Friends in the audience, friends in the audience, we are now at the scene of the lottery draw. We are TNT host Mante. Today's lottery meeting has attracted much attention, because this year's rookies are star-studded. Talented Blake Griffin, African Yao Liang Thabeet, marksman Stephen Curry, Harvard captain, NCAA champion and MOP, Wang Qi who is called the next Chinese Li."

After participating in the hosting work of BJ's Olympic Games, Mante also appeared more in many sports programs of TNT.

"Huh~~ From my long prefix, I know that Wang Qi is now the focus of the entire league. Everyone knows that after the Nuggets got Lee, they took off directly and created a dynasty with 8 championships in 6 years , Prosperity. Now everyone is most concerned about Wang Qi! Whoever gets Wang Qi will get the future! So, let us see, who is the final big winner among the 14 teams today? "

The live lottery draw has begun.

With a bang, 14 small balls fell into the airtight lottery box, and the lottery machine was already spinning.

TNT's cameras focused on the many delegates on stage.

Clippers owner Sterling, with a red face, seems to be determined to win the No. [-] pick this time.After all, they are the team with the highest probability, of course they are full of confidence.

The head coach of the Kings, Nat, interlocked his fingers and fixed his eyes on the lottery machine: It's ours!Definitely ours!
Jordan, the small owner of the Bobcats, was chatting and laughing with those around him. It was calm, and he didn't seem to worry about the final result at all.

As soon as the TV camera turned, it came to the third position in the front row.

There's a big guy here.

At this moment, the boy's fingers were clasped against his forehead, and his eyes didn't know where to look.Obviously, he was very nervous at the moment.

"Xiao Xu, don't worry, it must be ours!"

This is what Li Nan said to Xu Yong before coming here.

Before arriving at the scene, Xu Yong was very nervous to Alexander.Sitting here, he was even more nervous.

Is the No. [-] lottery really ours?

Soon, the first set of numbers came out.

3-5-8-10
"Wow!!!"

There was an exclamation at the scene.

Xu Yong was dumbfounded, not knowing what they were surprised about.

Who got the No. [-] lottery in the end?

Before Xu Yong turned his head to look at the screen, several older brothers surrounded him.

"Wow, Xu, you guys are so lucky!"

"The Nuggets really got lucky."

"Xu, have you guys played tricks with Stern?"

Xu Yong listened to everyone's words in a daze, his eyes wide open.

"Really, is it true that we won the lottery?"

Seeing Xu Yong like this, everyone laughed happily.

"Hahahaha, this kid is so happy and silly."

At this time, the host on the scene came forward to report the final result, "That's right, Xu, it is your Nuggets that won the No. [-] pick!"

"yeah!!!"

Hearing this, Xu Yong directly raised his arms excitedly, his whole face was flushed, as if that happened, he was very excited.

Seeing Xu Yong's excitement, many people lost their good mood.

The champion is gone!Wang Qi is gone!The future is gone!

The Clippers owner on the stage slumped his shoulders, but he was still talking to the Rockets owner Alexander next to him.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm looking at Blake, even if the champion is gone, I still have the second place!"

As a result, soon, the second set of numbers came out.

3-8-12-14
The second pick belongs to the Bobcats!

Jordan stood up with his hands held high and a smile on his face!
Jordan's mood at this moment is no worse than when he won the championship.

Winner in life!
When Jordan passed by Sterling, he also explained the other side,
"Boss Sterling, don't worry, our Bobcats don't need Blake. If you can get the No. [-] pick, our two teams can operate."

"sure!"

Hearing what Jordan said, Sterling was smiling on the surface, but he was gloomy in his heart.

The third set of numbers came out soon.

This time it's finally the Clippers' turn!

Flower lottery!
Soon, Sterling took away Jordan and Vince, the general manager of the Nuggets.

"Michael, Vince, go, let's talk."

Sterling still has his own little abacus.He wondered if he could exchange the No. [-] pick from the hands of the first two.

However, Sterling's efforts were in vain after all.

.
