The King of the NBA

Entering the second quarter, the Timberwolves' bench lineup further widened the point difference. Watching the Warriors coach Cole's eyelids jump, the Timberwolves' bench lineup is too strong.

And several players are still very young, what will happen in another year or two?

Of course, he only needs to think about the next one or two years, because both Jokic and Clarkson signed rookie contracts. When the player option year comes, the Timberwolves will have to pay a lot of money to keep them, and they may not even be able to keep them. them. Everyone has seen the abilities of Jokic and Clarkson, and they all know that they were underestimated in the draft, so there will be many teams vying for them, and they will definitely not be willing to play as substitutes all the time.

"The Timberwolves are definitely our biggest opponent in this year's playoffs." Coach Cole secretly said, he called a timeout and sent Thompson and Green up.

For the Timberwolves, Coach Adelman also made substitutions, replacing Love, Rubio, and Jokic, Brewer, and Clarkson.

The game between the two sides continues, and the Timberwolves still have the upper hand. Their inside advantage is too great. The combination of Jokic and Love is very lethal. Keech's advantage lies in passing the ball. He was able to complete an internal pass with Love, and assisted Love to score easily more than once.

Coach Cole sighed secretly, and replaced Curry and Barnes.

"Ning Yi, Martin, you come too." Coach Adelman waved his hand.

Both sides have almost switched to the main lineup. The Warriors are still sharp on the outside, but suffer from inside. And Timberwolves' outside line is actually not bad, Ning Yi's three-pointer is equally accurate, he may not be as good as Curry in pure three-pointer skills, after all, Curry's three-pointer has almost reached the peak of level nine, while Ning Yi is only level nine Junior, but Ning Yi has better physical fitness, allowing him to shoot more calmly when facing defense, so his threat on the three-point line is no worse than Curry.

The combination of Martin and Rubio can basically offset the damage caused by Thompson, Barnes' touch has declined, and Green simply stopped shooting. He immediately defended and organized the series.

As a result, the Timberwolves are almost on par with the Warriors on the perimeter, but the Timberwolves clearly have an advantage in the interior. As the game progresses, the Timberwolves gradually widen the point difference.

By the end of the first half, the Timberwolves led by 12 points.

Entering the second half, the Warriors hit a wave of shock waves by relying on a quick counterattack, narrowing the point difference to 3 points.

Ning Yi stood up and scored points. First, he made a breakthrough and forced a layup, which also caused a foul from the defender. Then he made a sudden move after consecutive cross steps. He made a steady three-pointer, scored 6 points in a row, and helped the Timberwolves stabilize. Live the situation.

The score between the two sides is still anxious, and the fighting is fierce.

"This preview of the Western Conference Finals really played the feeling of the playoffs."

"Well, it seems that the Timberwolves are still stronger. The combination of Ning Yi and Love is definitely not weaker than Curry + Thompson, and the Timberwolves' bench lineup is too strong. This is the key to suppressing the Warriors."

Everyone understands that the Warriors are playing very well and are very strong, but they are still a little bit worse than the Timberwolves. Maybe the starting lineup does not suffer, but the bench lineup is worse.

No, it should be said that the Timberwolves' bench lineup is too strong.

In a blink of an eye, the game is coming to an end.

At this time, the Timberwolves led by 14 points, and there were 4 minutes left in the game, so there was basically no suspense.

Coach Cole sighed secretly, frowning, he was thinking about what to do if he met the Timberwolves in the playoffs, how can he beat the Timberwolves?

In the last few minutes, the Warriors had a wave of three-pointers and almost turned the score back, but the Timberwolves were calm, Love played steadily in the paint, and Ning Yi could always score at critical moments.

In the end, the Warriors' final counterattack failed, with a score of 129:118, and the Timberwolves defeated the Warriors.

Curry scored 36 points and made 6 of 10 three-pointers. Thompson made 5 of 8 three-pointers and scored 28 points. Rebounds, 10 assists, Love 27 points, 14 rebounds, 3 assists.

At the end of the game, Adelman had a clear mind. In the next few games, Ning Yi and Love began to rest. The two played two games and took two rests. The Timberwolves won one and lost three, but no one cared, because They have already locked in the playoffs. Even if they lost three of the last four games, they still maintain a record of 69 wins and 13 losses, ranking second in the Western Conference.

So far, all the regular season games of the Timberwolves this season are over.

In the next two days, the remaining games of the NBA regular season also ended. The Timberwolves ranked second in the Western Conference with an excellent record of 69 wins and 13 losses. The Warriors ranked first in the Western Conference. They scored a record of 73 wins and 9 losses this season. In third place is the Spurs, who have a record of 67 wins and 15 losses.

This season's competition in the Western Conference is terrible. If it is in the past, the Spurs' record of 67 wins and 15 losses is already amazing. It is definitely the first in the Western Conference, and even the first in the league.

After all, the No. 1 Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference this season are only 62 wins and 20 losses, which is not as good as the Spurs.

But even if the Cavaliers only have 62 wins and 20 losses, no one dares to underestimate them. If there are no accidents, there will definitely be the Cavaliers in this year's finals. As for the team in the West, it is hard to say. Warriors, Timberwolves, Spurs, Thunder, these four teams are very strong, and they are all possible.

"The West is scary."

"It is estimated that other teams in the West are hiding in the toilet and crying now. This is completely debilitating."

"Yeah, they must be thinking, how good it would be if I were in the East. Look at the East, the number one Cavaliers are only 62 wins and 20 losses."

"Heh, so what if the Eastern Conference is weak. There is James in the Eastern Conference. Even if those teams in the Eastern Conference are lucky enough to make the playoffs, it will be useless. In the end, the Cavaliers will rule the world. But the Western Conference has the Warriors with Curry and Thompson. , the Timberwolves led by Ning Yi and Love, the Spurs led by Leonard and Aldridge, the Thunder led by Durant and Westbrook, my God, they all look equally strong, I really don’t know who will win the Western Conference championship in the end .”

"I am optimistic about the Warriors, 73 wins and 9 losses."

"I think the Timberwolves are the strongest. I saw that the Western Conference Finals preview was not there a few days ago. The Warriors lost."

"The Spurs are not weak, don't forget that in addition to Leonard and Aldridge, there is also the blessing of Popovich."

"The Thunder still have Durant, the super scorer"

When the regular season came to an end, the fans began to discuss the playoffs and made various predictions.

As far as the playoffs are concerned, the attention of the West is significantly higher than that of the East. The Cavaliers in the East are dominant, making the playoffs in the East seem to be no suspense, but the West is different.
