Chapter 426 - Sweep the Trailblazers
“It doesn’t matter, there is still a fourth quarter, we still have a chance.” The Trail Blazers coach comforted the players, but he didn’t feel confident about how to listen.
The players didn’t have much confidence, now the point difference is already 16 points.
The key is to stay in the disadvantage and never take the upper hand. What team is the Timberwolves? Not to mention Ning Yi, who turned on the “playoff mode”, it was relying on Love, Rubio, Martin and others, as well as a bunch of backups. Ascending to heaven.
still have a chance? That is only theoretical.
The atmosphere in the Timberwolves was much easier, everyone laughed and talked, Ning Yi was naturally the focus, 36 points in three quarters, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, teammates are coaxing, saying that they will work harder in the last quarter and hit 40+10+ 10 data come.
“I don’t care what the data is.” Ning Yi shook his head and said seriously: “We are now in the upper hand, leading by 16 points, but we can’t take it lightly. My goal is to sweep the Blazers, not the game to sweep them, and It was this series that swept them and eliminated them with 4:0.”
“I don’t want to waste too much of our energy in this first round, so we must destroy our opponents in a thundering situation. We must not take it lightly and must go all out.”
Everyone heard the words awkwardly, condensed their smiles, and responded together.
The fourth quarter begins soon.
This is the last section. Despite knowing that hope is slim, the Trail Blazers still try to make the final effort. But the facts quickly proved that it was in vain, and even Ning Yi and Love were not shot. The Timberwolves’ bench lineup expanded the point difference to 20 points in the first four minutes of the fourth quarter, which completely lost the suspense.
Reverse 20 points in 8 minutes?
That is impossible.
“Ah…” The Blazers coach shook his head bitterly. He just comforted the players just now, saying there is still a chance, but now he is directly beaten.
Trail Blazers put on the main lineup.
But after only three minutes, they replaced the main lineup one after another and announced that they would give up the game.
Three minutes, no miracle happened, the Trail Blazers made a lot of three-pointers, but the shooting rate was very low, and consumed three minutes, the game has completely lost the suspense.
When the whole game ended, the Timberwolves defeated the Trail Blazers 126:111 and won the first victory of the series.
Ning Yi’s performance shocked the fans and caused an uproar. He scored 30 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists in the game, or because he only played less than three minutes in the fourth quarter, otherwise he scored 40 + It’s easy.
After the game, everyone was talking about Ning Yi’s “playoff mode”.
Some people believe that this is Ning Yi’s true ability. He has never been full of blood in the regular season. But some people think that he scored 39+10+8 by accident. If this is all normal play, wouldn’t he be comparable to LeBron James and Kevin Durant?
One day later, the Timberwolves ushered in the second game of the series.
This time the Blazers made a lot of adjustments, but as a result, they found that they still could not change anything. The gap in strength was indeed too large.
As in the first game, there is no suspense at the end of the third quarter.
“It’s totally a slap.”
“This series is over, the strength gap is too great.”
“I originally thought that the Blazers could challenge the Timberwolves with two guns in the backcourt. As a result, Ning Yi’s “playoff mode” opened and everything was over.”
Many fans felt emotion.
No one has disputed whether Ning Yi scored 39+10+8 in the first game. It was because he scored 34 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists in the second game, and he got off work in three quarters.
One game is luck and chance, what about two games?
If two games are not enough, there are three games, four games…
In the third game of the series, the Trail Blazers played and tenaciously, once leading, but in the end was still overturned, lost to the Timberwolves 110:116, suffered a three-game losing streak in the series.
This game Ning Yi scored 32 points, 6 rebounds, 9 assists, 30+ in three consecutive games, averaged 35 points in three games in the series, 7.7 rebounds, 8 assists, do you still need to doubt?
One day later, the fourth game of the series came.
In fact, the series has lost its suspense. The Trail Blazers can’t pull back when they are behind 0:3, because they don’t lose because of dribble, but their actual strength is not as good as others.
In the fourth game of the series, the Blazers did not play well, even worse than the previous three games. They were already discouraged and knew that there was no possibility of winning and losing their fighting spirit.
In the end, the Timberwolves easily defeated the Blazers and swept the Blazers with a big score of 4:0 in the series, becoming the first team to advance to the second round.
This game Ning Yi scored 20 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, not many shots, because the win is very easy, won’t even need him to win, so the data is not very gorgeous.
“It was terrible, the Blazers were swept directly.”
“Yeah, there is no suspense in the backcourt with such a strong double gun.”
“Ning Yi’s playoff mode is too strong, it feels no worse than James and Durant, it seems that he really did not give his full efforts in the regular season.”
“Isn’t that obvious? The Timberwolves also have Love, Rubio, Martin and others. Whiteside, Jokic, Clarkson, Turner and other people on the bench are also good. They are a very strong overall. The team does not need to rely on Ning Yi to make the playoffs. So of course Ning Yi will not go all out in the regular season.”
The Timberwolves and Trail Blazers series has ended, but fans still talk, especially around Ning Yi, there are always endless topics.
In fact, not only the fans were surprised~www.mtlnovel.com~ Even the Timberwolves were surprised, because Ning Yi did not completely shot in the regular season, so that everyone does not know how strong he is.
Everyone has guessed, but when Ning Yi suddenly broke out and started the playoff mode, people still found that they had made a wrong guess. Ning Yi was stronger than expected.
A few days later, the series of other teams also ended one after another.
The Warriors in the West did not live up to the 73-9 regular season prestige. They swept the Rockets 4:0, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks 4:1, the Thunder defeated the Clippers 4:2, there was no upset, no attack, Warriors, Timberwolves , Spurs and Thunder all advanced to the second round.
The Eastern Cavaliers swept the Pistons 4:0, the Raptors defeated the Pacers 4:3, the Heat defeated the Hornets 4:3, the Eagles eliminated the Celtics 4:2, and there was no upset. The top four in the east beat the bottom four. The Cavaliers, Raptors, Heat, and Eagles advanced to the second round.
At this point, the first round of the playoffs is over.
The Timberwolves will play against the Spurs in the second round, the Warriors against the Thunder, the Cavaliers against the Eagles, and the Raptors against the Heat.
“We still have to sweep our opponents this time, and don’t give them any chance.” Ning Yi surprised the Timberwolves when he said this sentence. This time the opponent is the Spurs!
Sweep the spurs, is it okay?
