After the series between the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors ended, the records of the other two Western Conference teams were also released smoothly.
In fact, they ended the battle earlier than the Timberwolves. In the sixth game of the series, the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Houston Rockets with a score of 4 to 2.
As a result, the final two teams in the Western Conference Finals are the Golden State Warriors and the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs were eliminated in the semifinals last year, and no one knows whether they can perform differently in the Western Conference finals this season.
One day later, the battle results of the other two teams in the Eastern Conference were also released smoothly.
The Boston Celtics and Washington Wizards also fought for seven games to decide the winner. In the end, the Celtics defeated the Wizards 115-105 in a life-or-death battle.
Although Bradley Beal scored a game-high 38 points, beating Isaiah Thomas' 29 points, the Celtics' overall performance was better, especially that of substitute player Kelly Ollie. Nick also scored a series-high 26 points in this game.
The Celtics, who have entered the Eastern Conference finals, will also face off against the Cleveland Cavaliers, led by the Big Three.
There is no doubt that it is not easy to defeat the Cavaliers. Compared with the super teams in the West, there are almost no teams in the East that can compare with the Cavaliers.
Maybe you can still win in the regular season, but once it comes to the playoffs, it's basically impossible to beat the Cavaliers.
The four teams in the Eastern and Western Conference finals were officially announced, and the other eliminated teams naturally ended their season.
Minneapolis.
The day after the life-and-death battle, the team officially declared it was on holiday.
Except for some fringe players who stayed to prepare for summer league training or to fight for contracts, other players have begun to give themselves a holiday.
Serge Ibaka decided to go back to Oklahoma City. His family is still there, especially his children who are still going to school there. Although he doesn't know where to go in the future, before his contract with the Timberwolves officially ends, Ibaka decided that it would be better to move his family around.
Although Dwight Howard is recuperating from his injury, after the sixth game of the series, he has already gone to Miami, planning to spend his summer there. While recuperating from his injury, he also naturally has to take care of his little one. brother.
Romance is his characteristic. If he doesn't reward himself during the offseason, then he won't be called Howard!
Zach LaVine doesn't have that much time to rest. He will go home to rest for a week, and then he will leave for Asia. In addition to the previous trip to China, he will also go to Kimchi Country and island countries for promotion.
Of course, the first stop is undoubtedly China.
One is that LaVine has a good impression of Chinese fans. Even if it weren't for Zhao Feiyang, he still likes to go to China to participate in activities. In contrast, Kimchi Country is undoubtedly a place he hates going to. After all, there is no such thing as "sportsmanship" in this land.
The activities of the China Tour are part of it, and LaVine also wants to promote its own brand.
Because he plays next to Zhao Feiyang, he has received a lot of exposure, especially in China, which has allowed more fans to know about him. Many Chinese companies also approached LaVine and gave him many endorsement contracts, which made LaVine earn more money from endorsements than his contract with the Timberwolves.
In addition to him, Adrian Ennis also has a trip to China.
Like LaVine, he is a close friend of Zhao Feiyang and is favored by many Chinese companies. This time he went to promote his sneakers and endorsement brand.
However, before the trip to China, Adrian arranged for special training by himself. Since establishing his worth in the Timberwolves, Adrian has placed higher and higher demands on himself. In private training, he spent a lot of money he earned on finding a trainer.
Judging from his performance this season, he has indeed improved a lot. His skills are more refined than before, and his physical fitness has completely improved by more than one level.
Under this circumstance, Adrian pays more and more attention to his training in the offseason. Therefore, he is the only main player of the Timberwolves who cannot take time off.
Derrick Rose did not choose to practice hard after the end of the season. Now he has become a Buddha. Although he still recalls his past glory from time to time, he has been able to accept his state and performance and no longer relies on the past. All alive.
In order to better protect his body, he chose to go on vacation with his family. Take advantage of the offseason to recuperate your body.
As for Zhao Feiyang, he couldn't do anything while lying on the hospital bed. The only thing he could do at this stage was to recover from his injuries.
Since his injury, the Timberwolves have contacted the most authoritative experts in the United States several times to specifically examine Zhao Feiyang's injury.
The latest test results do not look optimistic, although they are not bad, but experts’ advice to Zhao Feiyang is that he must have enough rest time and not participate in any sports, otherwise it is very likely to cause sequelae.
After hearing what the experts said, Zhao Feiyang also realized the seriousness of the problem, so he decisively chose to stay in the hospital to recuperate.
The national team learned about the situation and understood that Zhao Feiyang could not do anything to help the national team under such circumstances, so Yao Ming personally called to care about his injury, and some former national team teammates also sent messages asking about his condition.
After playing for the national team for several years, Zhao Feiyang finally got a chance to breathe during this offseason.
The season is over for the players and they can relax and take a break. But for each club, the season is not completely over, and some departments have begun to prepare for various transactions.
Starting early means there are more opportunities to find treasures in the free market.
After this season, there are two biggest fish in the free market. Interestingly, these two fish belong to one team and are basically unlikely to be taken away by other teams.
Yes, these two people are Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry.
Stephen Curry originally signed a four-year, $44 million contract with the Warriors. This was because Curry suffered an injury and his prospects were unclear, so the Warriors took the opportunity to take advantage of it. This "child labor contract" gave the Warriors the salary space to sign Durant.
This contract will officially end at the end of this season. For today's Curry, an annual salary of 10 million is obviously a joke. With his worth and results, it is obviously impossible to start without 30 million.
For the outside world, the probability of poaching Curry is low. Regardless of whether the Warriors can win the championship, he should not leave.
However, the fate of Durant, another super core player, can be studied.
Once the Warriors win the championship, it is entirely possible for Durant to jump out of his contract and enter the free market! By then, any super team in the league that can afford the price is likely to sign him.
