The King of the NBA

The situation on the court has changed, and the Timberwolves have expanded their advantage.

After entering the fourth quarter, the Spurs launched a counterattack, but they fell behind too much. They fell behind by as much as 12 points at the end of the third quarter. For two such strong teams, this is already very big The score is bad.

The Spurs tried their best, but in the end they were unable to recover. 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 the playoff mode."

"Yes, it feels like Ning Yi is already comparable to LeBron James and Kevin Durant."

Fans are talking and amazed by 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 rival James and Durant.

A day later, the Timberwolves played against the Spurs again.

The Timberwolves still won this time. Ning Yi scored 28 points, which was not the biggest contributor to the victory. The biggest contributor this time was Rubio. He made 6 of 8 three-pointers and scored 25 points, which is really surprising. The Spurs didn't expect Rubio to emerge suddenly, and they were completely unprepared for this.

Then came the third game of the series, and the Timberwolves won again.

This time, it was the Timberwolves' bench lineup that contributed. Whiteside scored 15 points and 13 rebounds. Jokic scored 17 points and 8 assists. Clarkson scored 16 points. All three young substitutes scored more than 15 points. After three games, they finally suppressed the Spurs' bench lineup and played a wonderful explosion.

In fact, the Timberwolves' bench lineup is already stronger, and it definitely surpasses the Spurs by a lot in terms of talent. It's just that the Spurs do have their own unique features, but after two games, tactics and strategies don't play that big a role.

At this time, it still relies on talent and strength.

Adelman was very happy, and waved his hand: "This is the way to play, win another game, and sweep the Spurs."

Game 4 of the series is here.

Many fans did not expect that the series between the Timberwolves and the Spurs would be 3:0. The Spurs are very strong this season. How could they lose three games in a row?

However, the reality is like this. The Timberwolves not only won three games in a row, but they are about to win four games in a row.

In this game, the Spurs were desperate, but Ning Yi and Love played so well. In the second half of the fourth quarter, Ning Yi and Love directly dominated the game, which made the Spurs feel desperate. Whenever they scored a goal , Ning Yi and Le Fu will immediately return the color, obviously seeing that the difference is only a few points, but they still can't catch up.

In the end, at the end of the game, the Timberwolves defeated the Spurs 123:117, swept the Spurs 4:0, and advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

"It still lost."

"Damn, how could this happen."

Spurs fans find it hard to accept. The Spurs have a record of 67 wins and 15 losses this season. After such a record, they were swept away by the Timberwolves. What are you kidding?

However, this is not a joke, it is reality.

The Spurs lost and were swept by the Timberwolves.

A few days later, the Warriors beat the Thunder 4-2 to advance to the Western Conference Finals, where they will meet the Timberwolves.

Last season, the Timberwolves also joined the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals. As a result, the Timberwolves won, but lost to the Cavaliers in the finals. This season, the Warriors have become stronger, and even achieved a record of 73 wins and 9 losses, which broke the history of the NBA. They reached the Western Conference Finals again, only for revenge.

But the result made Warriors fans feel frustrated, and the Warriors lost in the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

The game was like a copy of the game between the Timberwolves and the Warriors at the end of the regular season, which was called the "preview of the Western Conference Finals". advantage, and the bench lineup is much stronger than the Warriors.

So the Timberwolves won the first game and defeated the Warriors.

In the second game, the Warriors announced their revenge with sharper three-pointers. Curry made 10 of 16 three-pointers, Thompson made 6 of 9 shots, and Green, Barnes, and Iguodala also made good three-pointers. The rate, the three-point rain was really terrifying, even the Timberwolves couldn't stand it, and finally the Timberwolves lost in the second game of the Western Conference Finals.

But Adelman didn't care. Looking at the three-point shooting percentage of the Warriors, the team's three-point shooting percentage exceeded 60%. Is this a routine operation?

of course not.

Throwing three-pointers like this, the team's three-point shooting percentage is too rare to reach 60%. It is just a special case and it is difficult to replicate. Will the Warriors still shoot three-pointers like this in the next game?

The answer is no.

In Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors' three-point shooting was no longer so hot. Although it was still very good, it was much worse than in Game 2. The team's three-point shooting percentage only reached 100%. forty.

Compared with other teams, the team's three-point shooting rate is already very good, but it is not enough for the Warriors, because their advantage is only three-pointers, 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 in the second game, the Warriors have to continue to throw three-pointers wildly, because they are completely at a disadvantage inside, and only three-pointers can chase points.

Of course, this crazy three-pointer is just futile, and it is a wild shot when the shooting rate is not high.

When the game was over, the Warriors lost.

The big score in the series became 2:1, and then it became 3:1 two days later. After that, the Warriors made a desperate counterattack, pulled back a victory, and rewritten it as 3:2, but Ning Yi scored 44 points in the sixth game. 10 rebounds and 3 assists, let the Warriors suffer.

The Western Conference Finals are over, and the Timberwolves beat the Warriors 4:2 to reach the Finals again.

"We lost," Curry said.

"Yeah, we lost again." Thompson said sadly.

Coach Cole shook his head and sighed, and said to the assistants around him: "We must make changes and further strengthen, otherwise it will be difficult to beat the Timberwolves."

Meanwhile, Cleveland.

James and Irving did not train today, because they just ended the Eastern Conference finals yesterday, beating the Raptors 113:87, eliminating the Raptors 4:2 in the series, and reaching the finals again, so today they have a day off.

"The Timberwolves won." Irving turned off the TV and said to James: "I didn't expect to meet the Timberwolves in the finals this season. I thought it 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 their disadvantages are also obvious. They are weak inside, rely on outside shooting, and the bench depth is not enough. The Timberwolves happen to be very balanced inside and outside, and the bench lineup is extremely good. The team, it can be said, just restrained the Warriors."

Owen nodded and frowned slightly: "It feels like 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, their eyes sparkling with brilliance.
