Chapter 428 - Reached the finals and met the Cavaliers again
The situation on the field has been changed, and the Timberwolves have expanded their advantages.
After entering the fourth quarter, the Spurs launched a counterattack, but they were too far behind. They were behind by 12 points at the end of the third quarter. For two such strong teams, this is already very big. The score is worse.
The Spurs tried their best, but in the end they were unable to return to the sky. When the game ended, the Timberwolves defeated the Spurs 118:110 and won a victory.
“It seems that the Timberwolves are stronger.”
“Yes, Ning Yi is too strong, 33 points, 6 rebounds, 8 assists, and 30+. I feel that it is not difficult for him to average 30+ per game after starting playoff mode.”
“Yes, I feel Ning Yi is already comparable to LeBron James and Kevin Durant.”
Fans are talking, marveling at Ning Yi’s performance.
After entering the playoffs, Ning Yi averaged 30+ per game, in addition to at least 7 rebounds and 8 assists, the data is enough to match James and Durant.
One day later, the Timberwolves fight against the Spurs again.
The Timberwolves still won this time. Ning Yi scored 28 points, not the biggest hero of the game. This time the biggest hero was Rubio. He made 6 of 8 3-pointers and scored 25 points, which is really surprising. The Spurs did not expect Rubio to rise suddenly, and he was completely unprepared.
followed by the third game of the series, and the Timberwolves won again.
This time it was the Timberwolves’ bench lineup. Whiteside scored 15 points, 13 rebounds, Jokic 17 points, 8 assists, Clarkson 16 points, three young substitutes all scored more than 15 points, the series played After three games, they finally suppressed the Spurs’ bench and played a wonderful burst.
In fact, the Timberwolves have a stronger backup lineup, and they definitely surpass the Spurs in terms of talent. However, the Spurs do have their own unique features, but after two games, the role of tactics and strategies is not so great.
At this time, relying on talent and strength.
Adelman was very happy and waved his big hand: “That’s the way to play, win another game and sweep the Spurs.”
……
The fourth game of the series comes.
Many fans did not expect that the Timberwolves and Spurs will be a 3:0 series. The Spurs are very strong this season. How can they lose three games in a row?
However, the reality is this, the Timberwolves not only won three games in a row, but also won four games in a row.
In this game, the Spurs are fighting back, but Ning Yi and Carrefour played too well. In the second half of the fourth quarter, Ning Yi and Carrefour directly ruled the game, making the Spurs feel desperate and whenever they scored a goal , Ning Yi and Love will immediately return the color, clearly seeing that the difference is only a few points, but they can’t keep up.
Finally, the game ended. The Timberwolves defeated the Spurs 123:117 and swept the Spurs 4:0 to advance to the Western Conference finals.
“I still lost.”
“Damn, why is this so?”
Spurs fans find it unacceptable. The Spurs have a 67-15 record this season, but the Timberwolves swept this record. What a joke?
However, this is either a joke or a reality.
The Spurs lost and were swept by the Timberwolves.
A few days later, the Warriors defeated the Thunder 4:2, advanced to the Western Conference finals, and will join the Timberwolves.
Last season, the Timberwolves also joined the Warriors in the Western Conference finals. The Timberwolves won, but the finals lost to the Cavaliers. This season, the Warriors have become more powerful, even playing a 73-9 record, refreshing the history of the nba, they went to the Western Conference again, only for revenge.
But the result made the Warriors fans feel heart-wrenching, and the Warriors lost in the first game of the Western Conference.
The game is like a copy of the Timberwolves and Warriors at the end of the regular season called the “Western Show Preview”. The Warriors have a sharp outside shot and a quick counterattack, but the Timberwolves are even better. The Timberwolves have a great inside. Advantage, and the bench lineup is much stronger than the Warriors.
So the Timberwolves won the first battle and defeated the Warriors.
In the second game, the Warriors declared their revenge with a sharper three-pointer. Curry made 10 of 16 three-pointers and Thompson made 6 of 9 shots. Green, Barnes and Iguodala also had good three-pointers. Rate, a three-point rain is really terrifying, even the Timberwolves can not hold back, and eventually the West Timberwolves lost the second game.
But Adelman didn’t care. Looking at the Warriors’ three-point shooting, the team’s three-point shooting exceeded 60%. Is this a routine operation?
of course not.
Throwing three points like this, the team’s three-point shooting rate can still reach 60%. Too few cases, but it is a special case. It is difficult to copy. Can the Warriors still make such three points in the next game?
The answer is no.
In the third game of the Western Conference, the Warriors’ three-point feel is no longer so hot. Although it is still very powerful, it is much worse than the second game. The team’s three-point shooting rate has only reached just one percent. forty.
Compared with other teams, this team’s three-point shooting rate is already very good, but it is not enough for the Warriors, because their advantage is only three points, if the three-point shooting rate is less than 50% , Then it will be difficult for them to beat the Timberwolves.
And even if the three-point shooting rate is not as high as the second game, the Warriors have to continue to throw three points, because they are completely at a disadvantage in the inside, and only three points can chase points.
Of course, throwing a three-pointer in vain is futile. If the hit rate is not high, it will be a wave.
When the game ended, the Warriors lost.
The series big score became 2:1, then two days later became 3:1, afterwards the Warriors counterattacked, pulled back to a city, rewritten as 3:2, but Ning Yi scored 44 points in the sixth game, 10 rebounds and 3 assists made the Warriors hate.
The Western Conference is over~www.mtlnovel.com~The Timberwolves defeated the Warriors 4:2 and reached the finals again.
“We lost.” Curry said.
“Yeah, I lost again.” Thompson looked sad.
Coach Cole shook his head and sighed, saying to the teaching assistants around him: “We have to make changes and further strengthen, otherwise it will be difficult to defeat the Timberwolves.”
At the same time, Cleveland.
James and Owen did not train today, because yesterday they only ended the Eastern Conference finals, defeated the Raptors 113:87, eliminated the Raptors 4:2 in the series, and reached the finals again, so today took a day off.
“Timberwolves won.” Irving turned off the TV and said to James: “I didn’t expect to be in the finals with the Timberwolves this season. I thought they would be the Warriors. They played very well in the regular season.”
“I’m not optimistic about the Warriors.” James said: “The Warriors’ offense is very sharp, but the disadvantage is also very obvious, the inside is weak, relying on outside shooting, the bench depth is not enough. And the Timberwolves happen to be balanced inside and outside, and the bench lineup is excellent Team, it can be said that it just happens to restrain the Warriors.”
Irving nodded and frowned slightly: “It feels that the Timberwolves have become stronger this season and their bench lineup has become stronger. And Ning Yi, he has also become stronger.”
James narrowed his eyes, and his eyes shone brightly.
