Chapter 132 No. 1 in the West

After the game against the Bucks, Da Zhuang found that the system seemed to be back to normal again.

In the remaining 10 games in March, the Timberwolves achieved a record of 9 wins and 1 loss. The only game they lost was against the Rockets on March 20.

Even with two red buffs, the Timberwolves still couldn't stop the outbursts of Harden and Linsanity.

These two people are simply stronger than Da Zhuang with buffs. The two scored 84 points in the whole game. Harden played 40 minutes in the game and contributed 58 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.

Crazy Lin also played his best game since joining the Rockets, scoring a double-double with 26 points and 18 assists in 33 minutes.

124 to 104.

In the end Da Zhuang had no choice but to accept the defeat of the game.

58 wins and 15 losses, this is the answer the Timberwolves led by Dazhuang handed over after all the games in March.

As early as March 23, the Timberwolves defeated the Suns at home, and the Timberwolves had completed the task of entering the playoffs ahead of schedule.

At present, the biggest task for the Timberwolves is to maintain the number one position in the Western Conference so that they can occupy a favorable position in the playoffs.

The Spurs, ranked second in the Western Conference, entered the final sprint in April with 56 wins and 18 losses.

For the Spurs, the only chance to overturn the Timberwolves' first place in the Western Conference is to defeat the Timberwolves in a make-up game.

And the Spurs must win the remaining games as much as possible.

On April 2, the Timberwolves faced the Grizzlies at home. In the end, the two sides staged a defensive battle at the Target Center.

The two defensive buffs refreshed by the system were added to Yi Jianlian and Bennett by Da Zhuang, coupled with Oden's stable performance in the paint.

In the end, the Timberwolves defeated the Grizzlies 89-79.

But the next day, the Timberwolves received good news. The Spurs lost in the away game.

They lost to the Thunder 94-106 on the road. Not only did they fail to maintain the pressure on the Timberwolves, but they were also caught up by the Thunder behind them.

At the end of this round, the difference between the Spurs and the Timberwolves was three games, while the gap between the Spurs and the Thunder was reduced from two games to one.

It is worth mentioning that in this game against the Thunder, at the end of the third quarter, Popovich once again applied to the referee for an early leave of absence package.

The closer we get to the end of the regular season, the more intense the competition becomes. Every team is trying its best to calculate its own gains and losses for every game, whether it is a team striving for the playoffs or a completely failed team.

At four o'clock in the afternoon on April 8, the entire San Antonio Spurs team arrived at the Target Center.

This game was also a make-up match that had to be postponed due to an accident when the two sides went to Mexico for an overseas game. Popovich was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he showed up.

However, Popovich, who has always seemed a little impatient in the past, seemed very patient today when he was surrounded by reporters.

When answering reporters' questions about this game, Popovich also expressed strong self-confidence.

"We have been preparing for today's game for a long time. It should be said that I am very much looking forward to meeting the Timberwolves again. This will be very beneficial to our understanding of each other. And I believe that by the end of the game today, we will definitely be able to

To leave with a win, I'm sure that's the case, and our goal has always been beyond just the regular season, that's very clear to all of us."

Although Popovich did not explain what he said, the reporters at the scene knew clearly what the old man meant. It is very simple. I have never regarded a Timberwolves as my opponent. My opponent is the last player to stand in the finals.

Team.

Although the opponent came fiercely and expressed their determination to win, for Dazhuang and the Timberwolves, it was much easier for the Timberwolves, who had a three-game advantage.

When the two sides entered the court to warm up, Popovich also took a deep look at Dazhuang. To be honest, being able to bring the Timberwolves to their current position was completely beyond Popovich's expectations.

Before the start of the season, he heard that the Timberwolves had hired a 26-year-old young man who had never coached in the NBA. At that time, he felt that the Timberwolves were completely nonsense and a poor performance.

But this young man, whom he had never paid much attention to, had always steadily dominated him during the regular season, and in the first few games of this season, he had also steadily suppressed his team against France.

.

It can be said that Chen Dazhuang's position in Popovich's mind now is completely different from that at the beginning of the season. The most important thing is that every time he meets Chen Dazhuang, Popovich always feels that he is old.

.

To put it bluntly, it feels like the waves in the Yangtze River are pushed by the waves in front, and the waves in front are beaten to death on the beach.

At this time, just when Popovich set his sights on Chen Dazhuang, Dazhuang, who was leading the players to warm up, suddenly felt that someone was peeping at him, and quickly turned his head to meet Popovich's line of sight.

Immediately, Da Zhuang's originally expressionless face was filled with a smile, and then he raised his right hand and waved towards Popovich.

Suddenly Popovich's face darkened, yes, that annoying smile!

In Popovich's eyes, this guy's smile is as fake as it gets.

Damn it, this old man must be sick. I said hello to you, but you didn’t respond. You even made a stinky face for me. You put your big, hot face on your cold ass, and you immediately felt unhappy.

"This guy is crazy. I said hello to him and he turned his back on me." Da Zhuang pulled Smith and said.

"Say hello? Same as last time? Idol?"

"Go away, can you fucking stop mentioning this? I waved to him sincerely just now. It's so rude and ungentlemanly, old gangster!"

Listening to his head coach's complaints, Smith looked helpless.

"Chen, you are wondering, is it possible that it's not that others don't have grace, but that your smile is too hypocritical in their eyes?"

"How is it possible, Smith, you damn can't frame me, I am as sincere as I want to be, okay, don't you know me yet? Modesty, politeness, generosity, gentleman, etc., these are all

The label on me."

"Are you sure you are the one you are talking about? Why didn't I see it? Chen, can we have some facial recognition? What you are talking about has nothing to do with you." Smith turned around and left.
