The Warriors ended their first-round series early and studied the Mavericks' zone defense early.

The Mavericks are not slow either. They only played one more game than the Warriors and were only two days late.

After playing the first round series, the entire Mavericks team flew directly to Golden State.

Due to the Warriors' high ranking, the first two games of the semifinals will be played at the Warriors' home court.

After arriving in Golden State, the Mavericks general manager immediately found Deng Fang.

Nothing else, just to cure the disease!

Treat Caron Butler!

Caron Butler is a very important member of the Mavericks!

Caron Butler was the No. 10 pick in 2002. He is 2.01 meters tall and can play both shooting guard and small forward positions. In his career, he averaged 16.7 points and 6.1 rebounds per game, plus 3.0 assists, with a shooting percentage of 44.1%.

.

Caron Butler spent most of his career with the Wizards. Before the trade deadline in the middle of last season, on February 14, 2010, the Dallas Mavericks sent Josh Howard, Drew Gooden, Quentin Rose and

James Singleton was traded from the Wizards for forward Caron Butler, center Brandon Haywood and guard DeShawn Stevenson.

This deal is very important for the Mavericks. They got three of their favorite players.

Haywood is a genuine center and a human shield who can help Nowitzki protect the penalty area in the paint.

DeShawn Stevenson is a shooting guard who has shot three-pointers quite well since coming to the Mavericks.

The most important thing is Butler!

Butler can shoot suddenly. Before coming to the Mavericks, he averaged 20.8 points, 4.3 assists, and 6.2 rebounds per game. Such data is already considered a top ten small forward.

Although Caron Butler's statistics have declined across the board this season, averaging only 15 points, 1.6 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game, his three-point shooting percentage has set a career high of 43.1%!

This is already the level of an elite shooter!

Unfortunately, Butler suffered a season-ending injury not long after playing this season.

As early as January 4, 2011, ESPN reported that Butler had undergone surgery for the ruptured ligament in his right knee he had suffered previously.

Caron Butler was injured in the game against the Bucks. The initial diagnosis showed that Butler had at least a strained knee ligament. The most optimistic scenario is that he will be sidelined for two months.

Butler was eventually diagnosed with a ruptured knee ligament and underwent surgery, and will miss the rest of the season.

After the injury, the Mavericks immediately found Deng Fang and asked him to treat Butler's illness, but Deng Fang rejected the request.

Except for Warriors players who were injured during the regular season, no one else's illness was treated.

This is a requirement of the system, and there is nothing Deng Fang can do about it.

But Deng Fang said that the playoffs can be considered.

After reaching the playoffs, the Mavericks contacted Deng Fang again, and Deng Fang also promised that if he reached the second round and faced the Warriors, Deng Fang would take action.

Deng Fang did this mainly because he did not want to destroy the comparison of team strength and restored the historical process as much as possible.

The Mavericks are the Warriors' biggest competitor this season, and Deng Fang can't say he will win 100% against the Mavericks.

What if the Mavericks are eliminated by the Thunder?

Wouldn't that be better!

Compared to the Mavericks, the young Thunder are obviously easier to deal with.

At least that's the case this season.

However, the Mavericks were obviously stronger and eliminated the Thunder after losing only one game.

Now that the Warriors are about to face off against the Mavericks, it's time for Deng Fang to fulfill his promise.

Deng Fang did not refuse this time and readily agreed.

But money still has to be given!

Caron Butler's annual salary this year is 10.56 million, and Deng Fang's offer is 5.5 million.

This price is not low, but it is a reasonable price for Deng Fang!

If James were to come and treat a Heat player, it would cost as much as his annual salary!

Not a penny less!

The Mavericks didn’t hesitate at all and paid on the spot!

There is no need to prove the effectiveness of Deng Fang’s treatment. His reputation is quite good!

Deng Fang didn't waste any time, took Butler to his office, and ended the treatment in a few minutes.

It has been nearly four months since Caron Butler's surgery, and he has no problem walking normally anymore.

It's just that Butler's injury is serious and he needs enough time to recover.

Deng Fang only accelerated Butler's recovery process.

After leaving the office, Deng Fang told the Mavericks general manager that Butler had no problems and could play at any time.

Once Butler's right knee is injured again during training or games, even if it's not in the same position, Deng Fang can treat it for free!

Of course, if the injury is elsewhere, Deng Fang can also treat it, but he will be charged again!

The Mavericks general manager has no problem with that.

The after-sales service provided by Deng Fang is already quite good!

No doctor would dare to do this!

If you are injured in other places, you should be charged again!

Also on the same day, the Grizzlies general manager also called Deng Fang and asked about treating Rudy Gay.

Gay was injured in a game against the 76ers on February 15, 2011. The injured area was his left shoulder.

Guy's injury was serious, and it would take 4 to 6 months to recover even after surgery.

During the first round of the series, the Grizzlies were hesitant about whether to treat Rudy Gay.

But in the end they chose to give up.

You know, the Grizzlies' opponent is the powerful Spurs, second in the Western Conference and third in the league!

The Grizzlies have yet to win a game in the playoffs since their inception!

Not a series, but not a single game!

For the Grizzlies management, their goal is just to win one or two games in the playoffs!

Of course, if Deng Fang's asking price is lower, it is not impossible for them to consider it.

Rudy Gay's annual salary is US$13.6 million, and Deng Fang's offer is US$7 million.

That’s $7 million!

For a small-market team like the Grizzlies, this price is not low!

Moreover, judging from the results in the last month or so of the regular season, the presence or absence of Rudy Gay has little impact on the Grizzlies.

If you can reach the second round or go further, you can spend this money, but if not, then there is no need.

After hesitating for a long time, the Grizzlies chose to give up.

What the Grizzlies management didn't expect was that the Grizzlies eliminated the powerful Spurs and staged a Black Seven Miracle!

In history, the Grizzlies also performed a black eight miracle!

The fact is that not only the Grizzlies management did not expect this result, it can be said that most people did not expect this result!

The Grizzlies' strong fighting power in the playoffs is amazing!

The performance far exceeded expectations, they reached the playoffs again, and made a lot of money, so now the Grizzlies management has ambitions and wants to treat Rudy Gay.

No one is as powerful as Rudy Gay. If Rudy Gay is resurrected with full health...

A championship is not impossible!

The Warriors are indeed very good, but they focus on the perimeter.

If there is any team in the league that can restrain the Warriors, it must be the Grizzlies!

The Grizzlies have the strongest interior combination in the league, as well as the strongest perimeter defense!

If you have a dream, chase it!

So the Grizzlies management no longer estimated how much it would cost and contacted Deng Fang again.

Deng Fang did not refuse, but he made a new offer: 10 million!

Treatment is possible, but it costs more!

I can reject you, but you cannot reject me!

It’s my only business, am I still afraid of losing business?

On the other end of the phone, the Grizzlies general manager angrily covered the phone and cursed!
