The Eastern Conference Finals schedule has caused controversy, the Warriors offseason restructuring plan has been exposed, and the Nuggets life-and-death battle has been hit

The playoff division semi-finals entered the final stage, with the four-group showdown ending in three groups, leaving only the Thunder and the Nuggets in a tiebreak. What is more interesting is that the Timberwolves eliminated the Lakers 4-1 in the first round and eliminated the Warriors 4-1 in the second round; the Pacers eliminated the Bucks 4-1 in the first round and eliminated the Cavaliers 4-1 in the second round; the Knicks eliminated the Pistons 4-2 in the first round and eliminated the Celtics 4-2 in the second round. The pressure is now given to the Nuggets. After all, the Clippers, which were eliminated by the Nuggets 4-3 in the first round, depends on whether this magical law can be continued. The detailed schedule of the Eastern Conference Finals is released, the Warriors' restructuring plan this summer is exposed, and the Nuggets have encountered bad news, and forward player Gordon suffered a hamstring injury, and the situation is not optimistic. The defending champion Celtics, who were eliminated, cannot escape the reconstruction this summer.

The Knicks and the Celtics had a G6 battle, with the final score of 119-81, the Knicks scored 20+ points, Brunson scored 23 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, Bridges scored 22 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Towns scored 21 points and 12 rebounds, Anunobi scored 23 points and 9 rebounds, and Hart also contributed 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists triple-double data. The game lost its suspense after the Knicks opened the 25-point difference in the second quarter. The Knicks once again entered the Eastern Conference Finals after 24 years. Coincidentally, the last time I entered the Eastern Conference Final, my opponent was also the Pacers! This season, the Knicks faced the Pacers 2 wins and 1 loss and had a home advantage. The two teams met in the Eastern Conference semi-finals last year. At that time, the Knicks had no Bridges and Towns, and Brunson suffered a hand fracture and was eventually eliminated 3-4. He is expected to take revenge this year! The schedule of the Eastern Conference Finals was also announced. All the following are: G1 is at 8 am on May 22, G2 is at 8 am on the 24th, and the Knicks are at home in the first two games; G3 is at 8 am on the 26th, and G4 is at 8 am on the 28th, and both are at home in the Pacers; G5+G6+G7 is at 30th, June 1st, and 3rd (if necessary). The Nuggets reporter raised his confusion: the match between the Eastern Conference Finals teams has been confirmed, the Knicks and the Pacers can rest for at least 5 days, and the winners of the Thunder and Nuggets have only one day to prepare for the Timberwolves after the victory in the Western Conference semi-finals (the tiebreak battle was 3:30 am on the 19th), and they only have one day to prepare for the Timberwolves. Why do they have to arrange the first match between the Western Conference Finals (8:30 am on the 21st) before the Eastern Conference Finals? The Nuggets are too tired.

The Celtics, who have been eliminated, cannot escape the reconstruction. After Tatum has undergone surgery, he will have at least one year of rest, and it will take time to return to the competitive state after his return! During this offseason, the Celtics' total salary for the remaining players next season has reached $231 million, and they are expected to pay a luxury tax of $263 million. Next, the Celtics will have to pay a luxury tax of $25 million for each of the basic salary players with $3 million. Therefore, the team must do subtraction. Porzingis, who performed very poorly in the playoffs, and Holiday, who had obvious regressions, may both become targets of being cleaned. In addition, Tatum has officially entered a five-year, super maximum salary of 315 million yuan, and the Celtics' future is cast a shadow.

The Warriors, who were blocked by the Timberwolves outside the Western Conference Finals, held a press conference at the end of the season yesterday. The team's reporters Slater and Marcus analyzed in a long article that the team's focus this summer is not to pursue Antetokounmpo, and the team does not have enough chips to compete with other teams. From the management to the coaching team led by Cole, they still firmly believe that the three giants of Curry + Butler + dream-chasing combination. If they keep healthy and play for a full season, the Warriors are not far from the championship! Kerr also emphasized this point and bluntly stated that the team has seen hope this season, but this summer needs to further improve the lineup and increase height, shooter and role players with balanced offense and defense. In addition, the Warriors plan to provide Kumingga with a quotation of 7.9 million yuan, and the Warriors boss Ragbu likes Kumingga very much.

In Slater's words, it is unlikely that the team will let Kumingga leave without any hesitation. The management will actively discuss the restructuring plan with Kumingga's team. Both sides are expected to explore a plan that signs first and then exchanges, which can allow Kumingga to obtain the contract he wants and a new starting point, and can also bring valuable rotation players to the Warriors. Cole finally admitted his mistake: Kumingga performed really well before he was injured. Obviously, when he returned, he was not at his own pace, and the chemistry was not ideal. As a coaching staff, we need to think about how to ensure the team operation, Kumingga still has a lot of room for improvement. Before the Nuggets and Thunder tiebreak battle, the Nuggets ushered in bad news: Gordon suffered a left hamstring strain, which was very similar to Curry's injury, and usually required at least 1-2 weeks of rest. Gordon is the most tiring but most surprising player in the playoffs. The Nuggets themselves only have 6 players to rotate, Porter injured his shoulder, and the Nuggets' inside pressure is actually on Jokic and Gordon, and Gordon bears more. Moreover, he dunked the Clippers in the first round and defeated the Thunder with a three-pointer in the second round. Gordon made an indelible contribution! However, it is difficult for Gordon to play in the tiebreak battle! Nuggets' team reporter Tony Jones reported that Gordon's condition was listed as a doubt (50%) possibility, averaging 16.8 points and 7.3 rebounds per game in the playoffs.
