NBA: I was the No. 1 pick at the beginning

Chen Tian didn't know that it was at the NBA headquarters in New York.

Tatum is thinking about how to play in the Western Conference semifinals.

You must know that this year's playoffs are even more popular for the West.

The four teams with more than 60 wins have also reached the semifinals in the Western Conference.

For the NBA, this is simply a great benefit.

Even Tatum has seen full ratings.

But in the same way, Tatum also knows that every team strives to win every game.

So Tatum's current task is to play seven games in both semifinals.

As for who wins, Tatum doesn't care.

In the seventh game, without any interference, whoever wins will advance.

Tatum will not make any idea of ​​which team to walk to the finals.

Even after Tatum took over, there has never been a player who has established a superstar for the league.

Moreover, Tatum also took back the superstar aura of James and others.

In the current situation in the NBA, it is hard to see fairness.

After all, the NBA is a business league, and making money comes first.

The United States is still a capitalist country, so no one cares about victory at all, making money is king.

But on the basis of making money, what is needed is the support of the fans.

And what the fans see is naturally fair.

It was a good game, obviously we were going to win, but the referee stepped up and we lost.

Whoever puts this on will not be uncomfortable.

If there is no hope of winning, or if it is true, it will be overturned.

Of course there is nothing to say.

But the one who was intervened lost, this is the most aggrieved.

In the history of the NBA, this kind of thing is too much.

The most famous is of course the OK combination and the Kings.

Originally, that was the closest the Kings came to the finals, but the league interfered and sent the Lakers to the finals.

But for Stern at that time, it made sense to do so.

After all, even though the NBA was under the leadership of Jordan at that time, it was already known to the whole world.

But after Jordan retired, they urgently needed someone who could stand up.

And Stern's second is Kobe.

After all, in those days, Stern could only do that.

At that time, Zhongyuan could watch NBA games only on TV.

Unlike today's computers, mobile phones and other electronic products can be seen.

So what Stern had to do at that time was to let fans remember what the NBA is.

As long as you think of Kobe, you can think of the NBA, and Stern's idea has already been realized.

But it is different now.

The current popularity of the NBA is widely spread all over the world.

Even some barren countries will know what the NBA is like.

People like Embiid and Mbah a Moute are all players from Cameroon.

So for the current NBA, the problem of popularity is no longer a problem.

And as the popularity of the NBA is getting higher and higher.

More and more international players began to pour into the NBA.

In the current NBA, European players can be said to have already occupied half of the country.

And with Chen Tian's joining, the NBA's reputation has once again increased by one level.

There are very few players in Asia who are originally in the NBA.

It can even be said that there is no such thing.

Originally, there were still a few people on the Central Plains side, but after that, none of them disappeared.

But the appearance of Chen Tian broke this phenomenon.

Now there are more and more Central Plains players in the NBA.

Although there are only five of them now, don't forget that there are Lin Sen and the other three.

If Li Yu and Li Yu hadn't decided to stay in college for another year, there would have been three Central Plains players in the offseason draft.

You must know that after these three enter the NBA, there will be as many as eight Central Plains players in the NBA.

And maybe even more.

This is simply great news for Tatum.

In addition, he was originally of Central Plains blood, and his mother was from the Central Plains.

So in this regard, Tatum also has a good advantage.

Everyone knows the importance of the Central Plains to the NBA.

So with the development of the NBA to the present, Tatum no longer needs to make any ideas about establishing a player.

People who like to watch the NBA now, not most of the stars can be named famous.

So what kind of star is established, even if you establish him, many people still don't like it.

What the NBA needs now is fairness.

But there is no absolute fairness.

That is to say, let the fans see it.

Tatum basically doesn't participate in some things in the regular season now.

That is to say, the playoffs need some ratings, so Tatum will make a move.

Tatum also quickly made a plan.

Ask for nothing else, as long as you can play six or seven games.

Tatum also lowered the bar.

After all, no matter whether it is the Lakers or the other three teams, the referee's intervention is too small and it will not have any effect.

But because of too much interference, Tatum was also afraid of Chen Tian's revenge.

One must know that Chen Tian took Xiao Hua down without a single soldier.

So it is very easy to win him.

Tatum also planned to tell Chen Tian the next day.

Anyway, Chen Tian was also a businessman, so he would naturally understand what Tatum meant.

As for Chen Tian, ​​he definitely didn't know that Tatum was plotting against him.

In fact, Chen Tian also thought of it, but what he thought was that it would be after two games.

After all, this is only a game, and it is not certain who will win.

After Chen Tian came back, he watched the Spurs beat the Warriors.

All of a sudden, I became interested, and I watched the whole game directly.

Li Xirui and the others also went to prepare some food for Chen Tian.

They were also watching the game that night, so they ate some during supper time.

After reading it, Chen Tian couldn't help saying.

"Facing Popovich, Cole simply has no power to fight back."

"In this game, although there was a problem with the Warriors' abnormal performance on the outside, it was more due to Cole's lack of on-the-spot adaptability."

Mina on the side also nodded.

"By the way, husband, my colleague was interviewing the game between the Warriors and the Spurs. I heard that after the game, there was a quarrel in the Warriors locker room."

When Chen Tian heard this, he just stopped eating the noodles in his mouth.

Chen Tian quickly finished eating the noodles, and then said directly.

"Have you heard who it is?"

Mina shook her head.

"No, but it sounds like Durant and Green."

When Chen Tian heard the names of these two people, he was also stunned.
