Into the second round!
After the Grizzlies beat the Mavericks... went back to the locker room to celebrate.
Celebrating on the spot for fear of being beaten...Dallas fans are notoriously unfriendly to non-white players. Their own team is okay, but their attitude towards non-white players from other teams is quite bad.
After the promotion, the Grizzlies opened the locker room for interviews. In order to take care of Sun Ce, a lot of sodas were placed in the locker room. When the reporters came to interview, they saw sodas flying all over the sky...
Sun Ce didn't have time to look at the event reminder that he completed some goals. After making a fuss, he wiped the soda on his head with a towel to show respect for the interview.
Most of the questions Sun Ce was asked were about their rookies, their thoughts on winning the series on the night they won the Rookie of the Year, their thoughts on how the Mavericks double-teamed him today, and whether Jennings has a chance to make a move. Second round and so on...
Regarding these questions, Sun Ce was not very interested. He was in a good mood and answered casually, praising Jennings crazily.
Seeing that Sun Ce had the most reporters, his teammates were so jealous that they sprayed more than a dozen bottles of soda on Sun Ce's head...
Sun Ce and most of his teammates answered the reporter’s interviews based on their emotions, while Battier gave a good lesson to his teammates. As a university student, he received an academic scholarship... Yes, it’s different from other sports scholarship players. , Battier is taking an academic scholarship in religious studies from Duke University and was eligible to study in graduate school without examination after graduating from university, but he didn't go to study.
When Battier was asked what was the difference between reaching the second round this time and reaching the second round last year, he replied: "I have a very special feeling for this team, not only because I was drawn by this team. selected, but because the team just moved from Canada to the U.S. and I started playing for this team,
It's great to be in the second round. My teammates and I are writing our team's history every step of the way. We've been making team history since we won our first playoff game. It’s a very exciting thing for us to write our playoff history game after game, and we really enjoy this process..."
This answer made the teammates next to him want to applaud Battier.
The fact that they have reached the second round of what they have done now has sublimated the meaning!
Obviously they are the penultimate team among the 30 teams in the nba to reach the second round. Battier said so, it looks so awesome.

The morning after killing the Mavericks,
Sun Ce got up early.
Last night's game was relatively easy. Even though it was late due to interviews and other things, the biological clock still made Sun Ce wake up early.
While eating breakfast, Sun Ce looked at the system screen.
After defeating the Mavericks 4-1 last night, Sun Ce got a b-level lottery card, but on the way back to the hotel last night, he saw the rewards for choosing one of the three, and it was strange, so he didn't draw.
I got up today and refreshed the content of the lottery, but it was still not good, and I didn’t draw. I will talk about refreshing the content of the lottery later.
The S-level reward event, after winning the best rookie and being selected to the best rookie team yesterday morning, completed two more goals.
"Rookie ruler(s):
Goals completed:
Goal 1: Selected for the 2010 NBA All-Star Rookie Game.
Goal 2: Get the mvp of the 2010 NBA All-Star Rookie Game.
Goal 4: Selected for the 2010 NBA All-Star All-Star starting lineup.
Goal 6: Get at least 1 player of the week honor this season.
Goal 8: This season needs to reach the playoffs.
Goal 9: Need to be selected to the All-Rookie Team this season.
Goal 10: Get the best rookie of the 2009-2010 season.
Goal 11: Set the scoring record in a single game this season.
Failed targets: ...
Goals to be completed:
Goal 12: Championship. "
8 goals have been completed, exceeding one-third of the 6 goals guaranteed!
Looking at the 12th goal that was left alone among the goals to be completed, Sun Ce felt that he should fight for the championship!
After turning off the system screen, Sun Ce took out his mobile phone to check the news.
After the Grizzlies reached the second round, their focus on the US side dropped a lot, because it was confirmed that the Grizzlies would play the Suns in the second round...
There is a huge difference in strength, the Grizzlies are similar to the Spurs, both of which can kill the Mavericks in six games, which was predicted by the media before the playoffs.
But the Spurs were swept by the Suns without any fight back...
Representing the Spurs this season, this is an ordinary second-round team. The Suns in the first round were simply "trapped" by the Mavericks.
The Grizzlies, whose strength is almost the same as that of the Spurs, are not optimistic about their chances of reaching the second round. The Suns will be crushed by defensive teams like the Spurs and Grizzlies this year.
However, the Grizzlies reached the second round and domestic attention surged because the Rockets were eliminated. Now the teams with the highest attention in China are the Grizzlies, Lakers, and Cavaliers, followed by the Magic and Celtics. ,sun.
The Grizzlies are playing against the Suns, and the domestic media are giving the Grizzlies their "tricks", but the "tricks" of the domestic expert media are the same as the ones they gave the Rockets in the past n years. What should the Grizzlies do? Drop or how to drop.
The news here in the United States is mainly hyping the series between the Celtics and the Cavaliers. This is the series with the highest attention in the second round. The real championship contenders met in the second round. The top five teams have yet to meet.
Sun Ce doesn't think the Cavaliers have even the slightest hope of defeating the Celtics. Sun Ce has experienced the horror of the Celtics. The team has an exaggeratedly deep lineup, and the Big Three are still at the peak. The Cavaliers have no chance. .
Sun Ce flipped and flipped until he found the news he wanted to see, the official schedule for the second round.
Now the Grizzlies play the Suns and the Celtics play the Cavaliers. The second round of the two groups has come out.
The Lakers and Magic are still waiting for their opponents in the second round. The Jazz won the battle of Tianwangshan. Roy was injured and retired in this game, and the Jazz took the lead.
The Eagles and Bucks in the East will play the battle of Tianwangshan tonight.
According to the second round schedule given by the NBA official, if the Bucks and the Eagles decide the winner in 6 games, the Grizzlies and Suns series will be decided on May 1st at the earliest. The next day will be May 2nd. If the two teams tie the game, it will be on May 3rd when the game between the Grizzlies and the Suns will be played on the same day.
The Celtics and Cavaliers started the war one day later than the Grizzlies played the Suns.
The second round between the Lakers and the Magic will start two days after the opponent is released.
The Grizzlies got at least 4 days of rest, which is good news for the Grizzlies with an eight-man rotation in the playoffs... However, it is even more good news for the Suns with many veterans.
At ten o'clock in the morning, after Sun Ce had breakfast and packed his luggage, he flew back to Memphis with the team. First, he went back to Memphis to celebrate. No matter when the second round started, he would go to Phoenix on May 1.
The first thing after returning to Memphis was to hold a press conference for Sun Ce to win the Rookie of the Year award. League officials came to Memphis early this morning with the Rookie of the Year trophy.
Sun Ce felt the enthusiasm of the local fans. The team played well, the players performed well, and the enthusiasm of the local fans continued to rise...
...
...
While the Grizzlies were enjoying the joy of reaching the second round, and Sun Ce was receiving the Rookie of the Year trophy and the First Team of the Rookie of the Year trophy, the undercurrent in the league was surging.
The six teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs have started their offseason preparations.
Eliminated in the first round, as a playoff team, most teams definitely want to go further.
The other four teams in the Southwest Division have plans for this summer, and they have already started to implement them immediately. Who told them to start fishing early.
The Hornets, the boss is about to run away...
Is it true that I am going to run away, and I have submitted an application to the league to disband the Hornets, and I can't sell it. If it drags on, I will lose more than 17 million dollars this season. Paul has not played most of the games. Ticket sales are easy.
However, this application for disbanding the team is completely prepared to be a rogue, because since 1976, the nba has canceled the system of disbanding the team. The nba team has been in existence for 34 years and has always been adding teams. It has never reduced the number of players Team.
According to the news from the New York Times, the NBA is officially planning to start the custody clause, and the league will buy the Hornets with an IOU and manage them until they find a buyer who is willing to buy the Hornets, and then give the money to the current Hornets owner. The league is responsible for alleviating the financial pressure of the current owner of the Hornets and avoiding the bankruptcy of the team that has not occurred in 34 years.

Office of the President, American Airlines Center, Dallas.
Coach Carlisle is discussing with Cuban.
"Mark, how is the negotiation with Jordan?" Coach Carlisle asked urgently.
"They are very interested in Eric's non-guaranteed contract. For them, the center is just a substitute. They really want to use this to clear the space, but let's wait, there is no hurry..." Cuban reassured the urgent Coach Carlisle who wants to take down a good center.
It was the third time in four years that the Mavericks went fishing after the first round. The players immediately went on vacation, and there was no celebration for the end of the season. The enthusiasm of the fans was almost exhausted in the first round of the championship team.
Nowitzki, as the boss of the team, undoubtedly has to bear the responsibility and has become the target of criticism from the media and fans.
Nowitzki's reputation has fallen to the bottom, and there is no room for further decline.
But Nowitzki's outstanding performance in the next three games gave the Mavericks coaching staff and management great confidence.
And this year they have the conditions to operate on a large scale!
In the summer of 2009, Dampier's contract was already considered expired, because his 13 million contract for the 10-11 season had only a guaranteed part of 1.8 million US dollars, but last year they did not expect that Dampier's contract could not be sent out!
Even the Knicks, who want to clear the salary space, are unwilling to take over Dampier's contract. Indeed, this contract is really bad.
But now there is only a guarantee contract of 1.8 million US dollars left, which has become a sweet potato. Some teams who want to save money will consider exchanging part of Dampier's guarantee contract with their own team's long-term contract or big contract, such as The Bobcats, the Mavericks started talking to Joe about it after the Bobcats were swept.
Even...the Mavericks are willing to take Dampier for a change of air, and the exchange of air can directly get a special transaction of 13 million dollars, which is easy to use whether it is a contract or a transaction.
But also because the opportunity is in front of him, coach Carlisle is particularly active.
Coach Carlisle asked: "Mark, what are you waiting for? It will be troublesome if Jordan trades with another team."
"Jordan only wants to change the air or change to an All-Star player. Only we can meet both conditions. We have the initiative, but we need to clear more space..."
Cuban's appetite now is not only focused on the center of the Bobcats, they have greater ambitions, and longer-term plans!
...
The Mavericks are making long-term plans, and the Rockets have also started their plans.
The owner of the Rockets felt that it was a feasible plan. After being eliminated in the first round, the owner of the Rockets, Alexander, called Yao Ming to discuss matters concerning the contract.
In the office of the owner of the Toyota Center, Yao Ming and Bill Duffy sat opposite Morey and Alexander.
The first thing Alexander said was: "Yao, we hope you can jump out of the contract and renew the contract with a salary cut to help the team strengthen..." (I don't want to be the boss..149149160)--(I don't want to be the boss)
