Chapter 1368 2019~2020 Season NBA Championship
The Big Three couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
Obviously, they all knew that Tang Tian was helping them to get the effect of the show.
And the effect is really good.
"Well, I think Kawhi has matured. In contrast, Antetokounmpo still has a lot to do, so I am more optimistic about him. Although Kawhi also has some weaknesses, it does not affect the final result."
After Tang Tian made a joke, he gave his reasons in a serious manner.
This reason is quite reasonable.
Of course, everyone's thoughts and predictions about the championship are different.
After Tang Tian, the Big Three also successively made a wave of predictions for the championship.
O'Neill's result was the same as Tang Tian's. As Tang Chui, his position was very firm, just as he believed that his grandma could win the championship with Tang Tian.
Barkley also predicted the Spurs, but his reasons are more based on the overall strength of the team.
He exchanged Leonard and Antetokounmpo, and then simply compared the remaining Hayward and Irving, as well as George and Aldridge, he thought the Spurs had the advantage.
This is a way of playing chess, which does not consider running-in and play at all. It is very brainless, but it is also very Barkley.
Moreover, forecasting is a guess in itself. If there is an injury, no matter how thorough your analysis is, you will still not be able to guess for sure.
Only Kenny Smith thinks the Bucks have a better chance.
The angle of his prediction is different from that of Tang Tian and the three of them.
He thinks that the Spurs have consumed too much energy in breaking out of the Western Conference, while the Bucks have run in very well this season and have home court advantage in the finals, so he thinks the Bucks have a great chance.
With a 3-1 result, the Spurs are the more favored team in the show.
When they were making predictions, the program team was also making constant voting predictions on the hotline.
The difference between the final voting results and their ratio is a bit large.
The two teams were extremely close in terms of votes.
47.2% of the people believed that the Spurs would eventually win, 47.5% believed that the Bucks would eventually win, and 5.3% chose to abstain.
Decimal point difference, the Bucks are slightly more favorable.
The predictions of the program group and the fans have diverged. It seems that only after the finals are over, will we know who is the last octopus king.
This episode of the program did a good warm-up for the finals, and also kept the finals a certain amount of heat.
After all, this was the first time in the past five years that there was no Tang Tian on the stage of the Finals, not even the Pelicans.
The opening game of the Finals will be played at the Fitzgerald Forum, Milwaukee's new home stadium.
The game attracted nearly 19,000 local fans to watch the game.
The Bucks have reached the finals for two consecutive years, which has made the local ball market flourish, and there is a great tendency for New Orleans to be second.
But without Tang Tian and the Pelicans, the ratings of the major TV stations have dropped significantly compared to last year, basically maintaining a comparable level with the Western Conference Finals.
Tang Tian didn't go to watch the match. He watched the live broadcast on the home theater in his manor.
Downs and Yongqi ran around the room screaming excitedly.
It can be seen that they are as interested in basketball as they were when they were young.
But Tang San couldn't stay still, he started crying for a while, Olsen took him out for a walk.
During the father-son moment, the finals, Tang Tian hugged left and right, enjoying the pleasant time.
It is the first time to watch the finals as a spectator, and this feeling is also very different.
Although the sense of participation is low, the mood is also more relaxed.
The game started quickly, and both teams played their best.
On the Spurs side, Popovich still played the first and fourth juniors, and asked Leonard to directly face Antetokounmpo.
It can be seen that he is very confident in Leonard.
The Bucks have a regular lineup, Lopez, Antetokounmpo, Hayward, Snell and Irving.
It is worth mentioning that Budenholzer faced Popovich, which was also a civil war among the Spurs coaching staff.
For Tang Tian, a former Spurs general, the two hugged each other before the game, and the scene was very interesting to watch.
After the start of the game, taking advantage of the home court, the Bucks took the lead all the way. The point difference reached 15 points at the time, and they also led by 12 points to end halftime.
Because Tang Tian is a former Spurs player, the two sons hoped that the Spurs would win, and felt regretful after halftime.
"The game isn't over yet."
Tang Tian comforted his two sons.
If the Spurs were that easy to beat, the Pelicans wouldn't lose to them.
Although it was a joke when I participated in the TNT program, there is a certain truth in that sentence.
The Spurs can win Durant and Davis, plus Holiday's Pelicans, and the score is also very different. They are the strongest team this season.
Sure enough, in the second half, Popovich made adjustments. He let Aldridge play the fourth position and let Baynes come up.
He also made targeted defense against Antetokounmpo, double-teaming the wings and inside at any time.
The disadvantage of Antetokounmpo's slow play is also exposed, even more obvious than Leonard's.
Just like there is still a gap between Leonard and Tang Tian, the gap between Antetokounmpo and James may be even greater.
That is what Tang Tian said, compared to Leonard, Antetokounmpo needs to improve more.
And in the second half, Leonard also started to play offensively.
Despite the hoarse shouts of the Bucks fans at the Feige Forum, the Spurs still eroded the Bucks' lead bit by bit.
In the end, Leonard led the team to play a wave, evened the point difference, and then took the game away.
103 to 99, the Spurs won by 4 points, but counting the first half, they beat the Bucks by 16 points in the second half.
After the game, the two sons were yelling excitedly in the room, and there was no champagne to celebrate.
Looking at his two babies, Tang Tian knew that they would have a happy summer.
The first game became the keynote of the series.
Leonard's overall performance is better than Antetokounmpo, and the overall strength of the Spurs is also stronger than that of the Bucks.
Although the point difference in each game is not big, the trend of the series is not as deadlocked as fans predicted.
4 to 1, the Spurs finally won the trophy away.
As a result, it was as predicted by the TNT program group.
After 7 years, the Spurs won the NBA championship trophy for the first time since Tang Tian left the team.
This is also their seventh NBA championship in team history.
The Spurs players are very excited, compared with 7 years ago, this team has changed too much.
GDP is gone, not even Holt the boss.
The new boss ccx, the new big three of Leonard, George and Aldridge, the only thing that has not changed is the head coach Popovich.
What he has brought to San Antonio is unparalleled.
Tatum presented the Spurs with their championship rings. Leonard held the trophy in his hand and looked at the camera with a happy smile on his face.
For him, it means a lot.
