Chapter 228

The red light came on, and Joe Johnson stood blankly under the spotlight. The light was so dazzling that he couldn't open his eyes.

The camera showed Al Horford in a suit and leather shoes on the bench. The bald-headed, tall, handsome young man looked stern, silent and speechless, as if he had just attended a funeral.

For the Eagles, this season has almost come to an end. The fans in Atlanta left the stadium, and the smell of gunpowder from the previous battle still remained in the air.

The fans in Philadelphia celebrated and reveled heartily. In the history of the NBA playoffs, there has never been a series that fell behind 0 to 3 and came back. When a miracle happened to the team, even the diehards who had been praying did not believe it.

Almost 76% of the 100ers will advance to the Western Conference finals. Tang Wenlong's offensive and defensive performances in the final moments of G3 were deified, comparable to countless superstars.

The head coaches of the other 29 teams in the league were stunned. You know, he is only under 22 years old. Could it be another "Tim Duncan"?
At this time, the most regrettable thing is the Wizards. Although he was still stubborn in the interview, he firmly believed that the "No. [-] pick" Wall would definitely reach the league's super giant level in the future. When Xiuyi made a comparison, he found that it was a world of difference. Thinking back to the scene when Tang Wenlong came to the Washington training camp to participate in the trial training, the general manager was really regretful in private.

Just after this game, the selection of the best team of the year was announced.

Similar to the selection of MVP, the best lineup is also voted by sports reporters or TV commentators in the United States and Canada. According to the lineup selection of two guards, two forwards and one center, everyone chooses three lineups in their minds , The players of the first team get 5 points, the players of the second team get 3 points, the players of the third team get 1 point, and the final total score, the top 5 players are the best team of the year.

During the labor negotiations that were suspended last year, the league set up a "Ross Clause" for young players in rookie contracts. If the old version of the labor agreement is followed, the young players whose rookie contracts end and the team's maximum salary can only be accounted for by the team. 25% of the salary cap, but once the Ross clause is activated, the maximum salary for the renewal can be 30% of the salary cap, with a full 5% fluctuation!

This is not a small amount, and it is also a big piece of cake. Obviously, the prerequisites for activating Rose's clause are very difficult: MVP in the rookie contract for four years or selected to the starting lineup in two All-Star Games or selected twice Best team in the league.

In comparison, there is only the third condition. It is more reliable for the vast majority of NBA young players to be selected to the league's best team twice. One or three teams, full of bonuses.

Tang Wenlong's sudden birth made this year's selection of the best team more volatile.

At the center position, Howard is still thriving. The only one who has an impact on him is Bynum of the Lakers. However, in terms of personal data, Warcraft still has an absolute advantage.

At the forward position, Durant and James firmly occupy the position. James' personal efficiency has exploded this year, not only scoring high, but also shooting high. Even three-pointers seem to have become more accurate.

In the end, Tang Wenlong and Kobe formed the backcourt partner of the best first team. Kobe was impeccable, and Tang Wenlong created the youngest record for being selected to the best first team.

Last year, Tang Wenlong won the best second team. This year he achieved a breakthrough. Look at the players who were selected to the first team at the same time as him. Kobe, James, and Durant are all super giants in the league. Under the halo of glory, Tang Wenlong's status as a super giant in the alliance has been laid and affirmed.

Then came the second team selection, Chris Paul, Westbrook, Kevin Love, Blake Griffin and Andrew Bynum.

All five players are from the West. Among them, Love, Griffin and Bynum were all selected to the best team for the first time, and they were directly selected to the second team.Love and Griffin are considered to have unlimited potential, and the media has begun to talk about the best power forward. Today, when Duncan, Nowitzki, Garnett and others are getting old, both of them have the opportunity to compete for the first place. A big striker.

Tony - Parker, Wade, Anthony, Nowitzki and Tyson - Chandler were selected to the third team.The Spurs with the second-best record in the league had only Parker selected, and none of the Bulls could be selected to the best team. However, the Knicks, who were swept by the 76ers in the first round of the playoffs, actually selected two players at once.

Every year when the best lineup is released, there will always be a lot of discussion, the first team is better, like the second team and the third team, there will always be a lot of doubts.

On May 5, the G18 game between the 76ers and the Hawks started, and the location was still at the Phillips Arena in Atlanta.

Many fans from Philadelphia came to the scene, and there was even a big, hardcore fan holding a whiteboard with a black broom drawn on it, which meant that the 76ers would sweep the Eagles.He unconsciously wore a black jersey and stood among a group of dark blue Eagles fans, receiving glares that could kill people from all directions.

Everyone felt that the Eagles would definitely be desperate. If they were swept in the second round, it would be more embarrassing than being swept in the first round, and it would not be good for the interests of every Eagles player. You know, this is the playoffs. All every move will be studied under a magnifying glass, and the Eagles have many players whose contracts expire after this season.

In the contract year, if you don't break out, you will have trouble with money.

It's a pity that in the first quarter, the 76ers played a 15-3 shock wave and directly beat the Eagles' players. Tang Wenlong didn't score much, but sent 5 assists, creating his own playoff single quarter. A new high in assists.

Since then, the Eagles have been playing the role of chasing points, but the players told themselves in their hearts, so what if they win this game?There has never been a team in history that fell behind 0 to 3 and came back.

When I was discouraged, I wanted to play a good game, but the scene inevitably became frizzy, and the details were handled very poorly.

In the middle of the third quarter, the Eagles' offensive chain broke down, and they didn't score for four to five minutes. The score difference widened to 5 points. Even the home fans felt that the general situation was over, and many fans even left the stadium directly.

In the end, the 76ers beat the Eagles by 106 points 83 to 23. Except for the two teams playing extremely anxiously in the third game, the other three games were almost destructive victories.

The 76ers swept the Eagles and advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals!
