Vol 4 Chapter 1133: Playoffs for the Underdog (Three / Five!)

Mavericks vs. Sir.
The Mavericks' quasi-five-star lineup is second only to the Pelicans in offense and defense, and the first round victory is not a big problem.
But their opponent is the Jazz.
Mitchell's newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Snyder sternly governs, and the Jazz are defensively strong.
Really, if the Mavericks are going to win, they will have to peel off their skins and put in enough effort.
Warriors vs Thunder.
The Warriors have internal and external troubles this season, and it seems more difficult to win the championship than last season.
Now they have encountered the most difficult Thunder in the first round.
In the regular season, the Thunder also led the Warriors 2-1.
Although James was selected as the same team in the All-Star Game, Westbrook and Durant seem to have eased a lot.
However, it can be seen from the game that the encounter between the two teams is still full of sparks.
Rockets vs Trail Blazers.
This will be the most suspicious group showdown in the West.
The Rockets still have their "most suitable lineup", but Paul's status this season has dropped significantly, plus Cousins' season reimbursement.
Nothing can be seen in the regular season, but in the playoffs, these will be their biggest disadvantages.
On the other hand, the Blazers' side has improved Anthony's overall strength, and it will be more obvious in the playoffs.
In the end, the camel was thinner than the horse, or the Yangtze River pushed the front wave and shot the front wave to death on the beach.
This set of matches is likely to reach a tiebreak before they can win.
Because the announcement of season awards has been postponed until the finals, the interval between playoffs has also been compressed to some extent.
There are only 3 days left between the playoffs and the regular season.
The intensity of preparations for each team has increased, and the work of the media has also been very urgent.
The annual championship forecast is also made among major media.
espn, tnt, fox, all conducted prediction surveys on the Internet.
Because this year's playoffs live broadcast is still won by tnt, its survey results are also the most watched by several major media.
The results of this survey were expected, but the data was surprising.
The survey results show that 92.5% of people think that the Pelicans will win this year's championship!
For the remaining races, 2.5% voted for the Cavaliers, 2.1% voted for the Warriors, and 1.4% voted for the Mavericks.
The other teams got less than 1% of votes, which is negligible.
The 92.5% data is the highest since the media has survey data, and it is unprecedentedly high!
After an 80-win regular season, fans believe that this year's championship is no longer suspicious.
And not only fans who think they can win the championship, but also that the Pelicans can win the championship with a 16-win record, also reached 63%!
Similar data comes from the spinach website.
Fans really believe that the Pelicans will make the NBA a final this year.
New York headquarters.
Xiao Hua's expression was decadent.
If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing and the position he was sitting in, you would most likely treat him as a mental patient.
At this time, his pressure was not only from the team owners, but also from the spinach website.
Now the outside world is generally optimistic about the Pelicans winning 16-0, the spinach website is also the most people who buy this odds.
He has been working to legalize spinach and bring more economic benefits to the alliance.
If the Pelicans finally did, those big gaming sites would all be in for a big loss.
Spinach websites naturally don't want that to happen.
And to keep that from happening, we have to rely on Xiao Hua.
But the season has proven that several key penalties cannot change the Pelicans' game.
If it really affects the game, he must do as much as before.
He hesitated for a long time, called Sock to the office, and then asked him to contact the referee committee.
It didn't take long for me to return to the manor after this day of training, and a man came to the manor.
Tatum.
Although Tetham failed in the power struggle at the beginning of the season, he is still nominally one of the league's vice presidents.
This year he also often contacted and met with Tang Tian.
In other words, although he was not the president this year, as a vice president, he has been thinking and reviewing a series of reforms by Xiao Hua.
He has improved a lot from last year.
This is also an important reason why Tang Tian is willing to continue to communicate with him.
They all say that they are not in charge of their position, but they can only be in position if they are fully prepared.
Last year's Tatum failed. This year's Tatum is okay.
"Xiao Hua is ready to work on the referee, you and the Pelicans have to be careful."
Tatum has been president for more than half a year, and he still has connections.
What did Xiao Hua do? He was near the water tower and could get the news as soon as possible.
"Good thing."
Tang Tian's response was far beyond Tatum's surprise.
"Good thing?"
Tatum looked at Tang Tian puzzledly.
"Why did Xiao Hua step down last year?"
Tang Tian asked with a smile.
"Spend your money privately. The reporter who bought Fox will come to deliberately discredit you."
"That was just a fuse."
After Tatum answered, Tang Tian said with a smile.
"The fans are dissatisfied with the game's penalties, and the game is losing sight, which is the root cause."
Tang Tian's subsequent words also made Tatum understand.
Because of the penalty scale, it can even be said that because of the penalty left and right, the dissatisfaction of the fans, including the media, has been backlogged for a long time ~ EbookFREE.me ~ so after the exposure of the smearing incident, almost everyone opposed Xiao Hua.
It was also under that tremendous pressure that the representatives of the teams agreed to let Xiao Hua step down.
"If it repeats itself, would you say it's a good thing?"
Tang Tian said with a smile at the end.
Tatum thought and nodded with a smile.
Xiao Hua's main pressure now comes from the Alliance Committee, in other words from internal.
Externally, he now controls the penalty level to a level that fans like, including two-way contracts and All-Star teams, which are supported by fans.
In other words, this time Xiao Hua's comeback, the support rate among the fans is still very high.
But if the referee influences the game again, it will evoke a horrible memory in the fans' minds, and this support rate will disappear.
At that time, Xiao Hua did not have the support of the League Committee internally and the support of the fans outside, and his retirement was an inevitable event.
It is good to think so carefully, as Tang Tian said.
"But if the referee Pelicans really loses, Xiao Hua's support on the league committee will improve."
Tatum then raised his concerns.
Fan support is secondary, and the committee makes the final decision.
"Relax, you can't lose."
Tang Tian said calmly.
If it was last year, he was not 100% sure.
But this year, he has no dead angles of 360 °, plus the hard-working brothers foursome.
It's really hard for the Pelicans to lose unless their opponents succumb.
You know that except Walker, who didn't play much in the playoffs, the other three of them are more fierce than the regular season.
As for the abandonment, just like he stepped on Pachulia's toes before, he has experienced a lot, and whoever abandons it will not necessarily be.
