The first point guard in basketball

Chapter 388 The Second Round Opponent Comes Out
At the end of the second game, Xiao Tian participated in the regular season mvp press conference and took over the trophy from Godfather Si. Xiao Tian was in a calm mood. He became the first Asian mvp winner in NBA history, which also made history.

"Heaven, you have become the first Asian to win the MVP in NBA history. Do you have anything to say?" This reporter is from TNT, but today sports reporters from all over the United States are here.

Xiao Tian was sitting in the center, wearing a BRIONI suit, the perfume was GUERLAIN, and the wristwatch was Patek Perry. He looked more like a star than a basketball player.

"I am very honored, but this is not the first time I have broken the rules. I can get the mvp and leave the support of my teammates and the team. I will continue to work hard. Well, that's it."

Xiao Tian's words were quite satisfactory. After winning the mvp, Xiao Tian's prestige in the NBA reached an unprecedented height. At least Iverson and Kobe would not be easy to catch up with him.

Payton and the management have completely turned their backs. The Supersonics are very clear that there is no other way to go except to trade Payton. After all, the Supersonics are not a wealthy family and they can’t afford it. Yes, they can choose to directly amnesty Payton, but you have to pay the money, 8000 million, not 8000 yuan.

There was no surprise in the third game against the Grizzlies. The Grizzlies won easily and swept the promotion 3:0. In the third game, Payton didn't play at all. There is another reason why he forced the palace management so much, because the opponent knew very well that he didn't have much time in his career. If he continued to work like this, then everything would be over.I must win the championship, and I have already obtained the big contract.

Regarding Payton's approach, everyone has mixed opinions, and Xiao Tian is still quietly conducting special training. The turmoil outside has nothing to do with him at all, and the Grizzlies' opponent in the next round is likely to be the Los Angeles Lakers. At present, they and the Trail Blazers are 2:2. 20 points, 9 assists, shooting rate as high as 40.00% [-], which is completely out of proportion to the performance of Xianyu in the regular season. Maybe the little flying mouse is called the successor of the assassin because of his performance in the playoffs.

But he injured his knee in the fourth game, so he will miss the fifth key game. The Lakers' promotion to the second round is a sure thing. It's really embarrassing to say that O'Neal has been with the Lakers for three seasons. This is the first time he will be promoted to the second round.

The performance of Little Momonga made Bob Whistle very tangled. This guy was lax in the regular season and extremely brave in the playoffs. Should he trade him or keep him? Bob Whisper was very uncomfortable.

In addition to the promotion of the Lakers, the Spurs and the Rockets are also very likely to break out of the siege. The Rockets and the Knicks have mediocre records and are worthy of entering the playoffs. However, they all take their fate into their own hands and lead 2:1.

In the first round of the playoffs, only these two teams played fiercely. The Lakers still advanced. Without the flying mouse, the Trail Blazers point guard line was completely controlled by the Lakers. In the other two teams, the Rockets successfully counterattacked the Jazz. The Big Three scored 90 points in the fourth game. They defeated the Jazz at home. Last season was the Jazz's best opportunity, but in the finals they were blown away by the Bulls. There was nothing he could do about that bastard Rodman. That guy did one thing every game to prevent himself from scoring easily. He didn't need to score anyway.

Malone was a little hesitant when facing the team’s contract extension. The team’s contract was 5 million for five years, which was the largest contract the Jazz could give. But for Karl Malone, money didn’t matter.

The Knicks were also clean and tidy. In the fourth game, Alan Houston was still very brave. He scored 40 points and beat the Heat at home. This made Madison Square Garden a sea of ​​fans, chanting "mvp". This scene seems to go back to the era of Bernard King.

Riley lost, his Heat lost to the Knicks, and lost to Houston, whom he never cared about. Of course, the Heat will lose this round of the series. In addition to underestimating the Knicks, there is also the fact that the Heat’s substitutes are not as good as the Knicks. Van Gundy still rotates with those few people, but his effect has been achieved.

May 5th is the start of the second round. The Grizzlies have been running in and training for the past few days. Compared with the first-round opponent, the Supersonics, the second-round opponent, the Lakers, is a tough nut to crack. Except for the lack of head coach, the Lakers really have no shortcomings in their lineup. O’Neal’s first-round statistics are 17 points and 30 rebounds. In the game, it was useless for the opponent to slash the shark. Instead, it sent points. In the last matchup with the Blazers, McDunleavy tried his own method. As a result, O'Neal made 20 of 50.00 free throws in the game, completely letting the Blazers go home.

However, the players on the Grizzlies side are very excited, and the atmosphere is very happy.

"Tim perform well. If you behave well, I will be the master of ceremonies for you at your summer wedding."

Duncan was a little speechless in the face of Xiao Tian's salty fish performance. He would not do what this guy could do for himself. He really didn't look like a boss, but he was like a boss. The harmonious atmosphere of the two cores made the logo man very gratified.

The Grizzlies are easy, while the Lakers are facing a formidable enemy. However, the Lakers have good news, that is, they have made a breakthrough in contact with the Supersonics. They are willing to send Payton, but they need to add a few people. Jenny Buss agreed without even thinking about it. Except for Kobe and O'Neal, others can be chosen at will, including Glenn Rice.
