Mavericks vs. Jazz.

The Mavericks have a quasi-five-star lineup, second only to the Pelicans on the offensive and defensive strength, and there is no big problem with winning the first round.

But their opponent is the Jazz.

Mitchell is not afraid of tigers when he is a newborn calf, Snyder is strict in the army, and the Jazz's defense is strong.

If the Mavericks really fight, they will probably have to peel off their skin if they want to win and put in a lot of effort.

Warriors vs Thunder.

The Warriors are both internal and external troubles this season, and it seems that it is even more difficult to win the championship than last season.

Now they are facing the most difficult Thunder in the first round.

In the regular season, the Thunder led the Warriors 2-1 in their record.

Although James was selected to the same team in the All-Star Game, Westbrook and Durant seemed to have a lot of eased relationship.

But from the game, we can see that the encounter between the two teams is still full of Mars.

Rockets vs Trail Blazers.

This will be the most suspenseful showdown in the West.

The Rockets still have their "most suitable lineup", but Paul's condition has declined significantly this season, and Cousins' season reimbursement.

I can't see anything in the regular season, but in the playoffs, these will become their biggest disadvantages.

On the other hand, the Trail Blazers have improved Anthony's overall strength, and their performance will be more obvious in the playoffs.

Is it a lean camel bigger than a horse, or is it a wave of the Yangtze River pushing the waves forward and slamming the waves to death on the beach?

This group of matches is likely to play until the tiebreaker to determine the outcome.

Because the announcement of the season awards was postponed to the finals, the interval between the playoffs was also compressed to a certain extent.

There are only 3 days left between the playoffs and the regular season.

The preparation intensity of each team has increased, and the media has also worked very hard.

The annual championship prediction is also conducted among major media.

ESPN, TNT, FOX, all conducted prediction surveys online.

Because this year's playoff live broadcast was still won by TNT, its survey results are also the most popular among several major media outlets.

The survey results were expected, but the data were shocking.

The survey results show that 92.5% of people believe that the Pelicans will win this year's championship!

For the remaining race, 2.5% voted for the Cavaliers, 2.1% voted for the Warriors, and 1.4% voted for the Mavericks.

Other teams have vote-game rates that are less than 1%, which is negligible.

92.5% of the data is the highest since self-media survey data, and it is an unprecedented high!

After 80 wins in the regular season, fans believe that this year's championship is no longer suspense.

And not only do they think they can win the championship, but also 63% of fans who think the Pelicans can win the championship with 16 wins!

Similar data also comes from the spinach website.

Fans really believe that the Pelicans are going to make the NBA finale this year.

New York headquarters.

Xiao Hua looked decadent.

If it weren't for the clothes he was wearing and the seat he sat, you would probably treat him as a mentally ill person.

At this time, his pressure was no longer only from the bosses of each team, but also from the spinach website.

Now the outside world is generally optimistic that the Pelicans will win the championship 16-0, and the most people buy it at this odds.

He has always been committed to legalizing spinach and bringing more economic benefits to the alliance.

If the Pelicans really did it in the end, those big gambling websites would have lost a lot.

Naturally, the Spinach Website doesn't want that to happen.

And to make that happen, we can only rely on Xiao Hua.

But the season has proven that several key penalty decisions cannot change the Pelicans' game.

If it really affects the game, he must increase his efforts as before.

He hesitated for a long time, called Sok to the office, and asked him to contact the referee committee.

Not long after the training ended on the day, a guest came to the manor.

Tatum.

Although Tatum 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 often contacted and met Tang Tian.

In other words, although he was not the president this year, as a vice president, he has been thinking about and examining Xiao Hua's series of reforms.

He has made a lot better than last year.

This is also a very important reason why Tang Tian is willing to continue communicating with him.

It is said that if you are not in your position, you will not do your own affairs, but only if you make sufficient preparations, you can get to the position.

Last year's Tatum is not good, this year's Tatum is OK.

"Xiao Hua is ready to work hard on the referee, you and the Pelicans must be careful."

Tatm has been the president for more than half a year and still has connections.

What does Xiao Hua do? He is close to the water and can get news as soon as possible.

"Good thing."

Tang Tian's reaction was far beyond Taitum's expectations.

"Good thing?"

Taitum looked at Tang Tian in confusion.

"What was the reason why Xiao Hua stepped down last year?"

Tang Tian asked with a smile.

"Spend money privately and bribe FOX reporters to deliberately smear you."

"That's just a fuse."

After Tatm answered, Tang Tian smiled and said.

"The fans' dissatisfaction with the game's penalty standards and the increasingly loss of viewing game are the fundamental reasons."

Tang Tian's continued words also made Tatm understand immediately.

Because of the penalty scale, it can even be said that the dissatisfaction of fans, including the media, has been backlogged for a long time because of the penalty.

So after the smear incident was exposed, almost everyone opposed Xiao Hua.

It was also under that huge pressure that the representatives of each team agreed to let Xiao Hua step down.

"If things happen again, would you say it's a good thing?"

Tang Tian finally said with a smile.

Tatm nodded with a smile after thinking about it.

Xiao Hua's main pressure now comes from the Alliance Committee, in other words, from the internal ones.

Externally, he now controls the penalty scale to a level that fans like, including two-way contracts and All-Star teams, all with fans' support.

In other words, Xiao Hua's return this time has a high approval rating among fans.

But if the referee's game reappears, and it arouses the horrible memory in the minds of fans, the approval rating will disappear.

At that time, Xiao Hua will not have the support of the League Committee within and the support of the fans outside, and his resignation will be an inevitable event.

If you think about it carefully, it is really a good thing, just as Tang Tian said.

"But if the referee Pelicans really lose, Xiao Hua's support in the League Committee will improve."

Tatm then raised his concerns.

Fans’ support is secondary, and the committee makes the final decision.

"Don't worry, I can't lose."

Tang Tian said calmly.

If it was last year, he would not be 100% sure.

But this year, he has no dead corners at 360°, and he has worked hard to train the brothers foursomes.

Unless the opponent is useless, it will be really difficult for the Pelicans to lose.

You should know that except Walker didn't play much in the playoffs, the other three of them are even more ruthless in the playoffs than in the regular season.
