3-0, the third game is still a big win.

The Pelicans treat the Thunder as an experienced baby, and as they practice, they find that they have upgraded.

From this perspective, the Thunder are actually playing pretty well.

Practicing tactics means finding a team that is good at defending. The effect of playing one game is better than playing a series with the Cavaliers.

The Pelicans are quite lucky.

Two days later, the fourth game between the Pelicans and the Thunder continued to open at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The attendance rate in the stadium is still full. Although it is behind 0-3, the fans in Oklahoma City are still in high spirits.

This team moved here to the Four Young Masters era. After that, it reached the Western Conference Finals in just a few years and has been a championship team. It has accumulated a lot of popularity.

Amid the cheers of home fans, the Thunder performed exceptionally well on offensive end tonight, leading the Pelicans 55-45 at halftime.

However, in the second half, their touch was cold and the score was gradually caught up by the Pelicans and overtaken.

In the end, the Thunder lost 95-105 and was swept out by the Pelicans.

Davis scored 23 points and 11 rebounds, Jokic scored 13 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists, Holiday and Boyan each scored 11 points.

Tang Tian continued to paddle, scoring 21 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists.

Westbrook played the best game in the series, making 11 of 29 shots, scoring a large triple-double with 33 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists.

After the game, the two sides held a final handshake.

Tang Tian and Westbrook hugged each other for a long time.

Tang Tian said a lot of encouragement to Westbrook.

Durant and Ibaka's successive departures have changed from a championship-winning team to an ordinary team.

No matter how Westbrook plays, he can stick to Oxford and lead the team to the playoffs with his own strength in the West, which is worthy of respect.

A 4-0 sweep, although the Pelicans and Thunder played a few twists and turns in the series, the results were almost the same as expected.

The Thunder are not at the same level as the Pelicans. It is an accident to win a game, and it is reasonable to sweep.

At the end of the Thunder and Pelicans series, the first round of the East and West playoffs also reached a certain stage.

In the East, the Cavaliers 3-0 Heat, the Knicks lead the Pacers 3-1, the Raptors 3-1 Hornets, and the Hawks 2-2 Bucks.

In the West, the Warriors led the Clippers 3-0, the Spurs led the Trail Blazers 3-0, and the Rockets 3-1 Mavericks.

After the Cavaliers have completed the game, they have achieved super first-class strength. The probability of their entry into the finals this year is still very high, and the opponents, whether they are the Pelicans or the Warriors, will have a fierce battle.

Walker played in the opening game with his performance in the 2001 finals. His experience seemed to be the same as Iverson. The Hornets' overall weakness in strength made him unable to make the situation come true.

Antetokounmpo was infinitely targeted by Hawks head coach Budenholzer, and the point without projection was infinitely magnified. For him, no matter what the result of the next series is, his summer will be very fulfilling.

The series trend between the Mavericks and Rockets is a bit regrettable. After the first two games, the Mavericks also had a chance to win the third game, but Butler and Carlisle had another dispute in the game to ruin the good situation. Then they were defeated by the Rockets two consecutive games, and now they are on the verge of elimination.

It can be foreseeable that this summer will be another difficult summer for Cuban.

The first round of the series came to an end here.

At this moment, the league announced the second batch of season awards.

There is only one award in this season, but the value is very high.

Best defensive player.

The competition for the best defensive player this year is mainly focused on several people.

Green, Leonard, Gobert, and Tang Tian.

After Durant came to the Warriors, Green played his arc top ball to the extreme, and this season he averaged 10.2 points, 7.9 rebounds and 7 assists per game.

And after he didn't need to attack, he had more energy to invest in defense, and averaged 2.2 steals and 1.4 blocks per game, which performed quite eye-catchingly.

He is also one of the hottest candidates.

Leonard has taken on more offensive roles this season, averaging 26.3 points and 3.5 assists per game are both the highest in his career, but he can still contribute 1.8 steals and 0.7 blocks on the defensive end.

His death entanglement still makes the opponents very afraid. He is also one of the few stars in the league who have both offense and defense.

Gobert achieved his peak career performance this season, averaging 14 points, 12.8 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, and 0.6 steals per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 66.1%, ranking first in the league.

Not only the data, but his performance on both offense and defense has also ranked among the top centers in the league.

As a rising inside star, he deserves such an award.

Finally, it is Tang Tian.

After Tang Tian's physical fitness this season, he performed a historically super-sized performance of both offense and defense.

His average steals per game is the highest in the league and also set a new record for his average steals per game in a single season.

Durant, Curry, Westbrook, Harden... The miserable performance of the super giants after facing him is the best proof.

All four of them have reasons to be elected.

After the final selection results, the votes of the four people were 21%, 15%, 17%, and 44%.

Tang Tian, ​​with an absolutely overwhelming advantage, beat the other three and was elected the best defensive player of the season!

This is also his second time two consecutive seasons and his fourth time in his career to be elected the best defensive player!

"I really agree with what Pelicans head coach Brad Stevens said at the beginning, that the good or bad defense can only be evaluated by the opponent's players."

In the latest episode of TNT, Buck used the most straightforward way to evaluate the selection results.

"Or, we can call Tang a historic superstar tester."

Kenny Smith made an addition.

The historical superstar tester, this review also went viral on social media.

After Tang Tian became a series of nicknames such as his father and Tang Ritian, how long after that, he finally got a new nickname.

And this nickname is more graceful than those before.

In addition to data, the criteria for evaluating superstars are more important than the performance of super defensive players.

Tang Tian is a historically-level superstar. The one who can perform under his defense is a historically-level superstar.

This logic is quite clear and there is no problem at all.

After Tang Tian won this best defensive player, he also successfully tied Ben Wallace and Mutombo, tied for the player with the most best defensive players.

Even because he is an outside player, the number of awards is a historical record.

It is difficult for an outside player to get the best defensive player in itself, not to mention four times.
