Backstage, Chen Yu was looking over the list of teams from the East and West that had made it into the playoffs.
West.
First, Oden.
Second, Jennings.
Third, Tyreke Evans.
Fourth, Thaddeus Young.
Fifth, Austin Daye.
Sixth, Nolan Smith.
Seventh, Evan Turner.
Eighth, DeJuan Blair.
And in the East.
Eric Gordon had led his team to first place in the East.
Following close behind was DaJuan Samos from Maryland.
Third, Kevin Love.
Fourth, DeRozan.
Fifth, Rose.
Sixth, Durant, who made a late push, surged into this spot.
Seventh, the Lopez Brothers.
And eighth, the final spot, went to Curry, who had barely squeezed into the playoffs with a one-game lead.
On stage, the order of the trades was now being announced.
Some were happy, others were worried.
"Chen, who do you think will win the championship?" Owen asked.
The five of them, plus Jordan, were only paying limited attention to the show. Chen Yu knew the growth process of these kids best.
