Chapter 253 Sweep

The combat power boost that that colorful buff brings to the Timberwolves is simply abnormal.

In the third game at the American Airlines Arena, Dallas fans thought that the team would rely on its home court advantage to get back into the game. Although they did not expect the team to eliminate the Timberwolves, they would at least have to do so at home.

He played with dignity, but he didn't know that his opponent's strength had become stronger compared to the previous two games.

The strength of the Timberwolves can be said to have attracted the attention of all teams participating in the playoffs. Many teams that may be in the playoffs have begun to pay attention to the Timberwolves.

Because the performance of the Timberwolves is the biggest obstacle to those teams that long for championships.

121 to 89, a full 32-point difference made Dallas disgraced at their home court. In the second half of the third quarter, many Dallas fans at home began to leave. Although Cuban, who was sitting on the sidelines, could not hold back and did not leave.

, but his team suffered this disastrous defeat in front of a group of his friends, which made Cuban's face extremely dull, and his expression was very ugly from beginning to end.

Nowitzki, the symbol of Dallas, couldn't help but let out a long sigh when the referee blew the whistle to end the game. He knew that Dallas' playoff journey this season was basically over.

This is already his 17th season in the league.

It is indeed time for the team to rebuild, and now Dallas is completely in a state of turmoil.

3-0, the Timberwolves already got the match point in the first round of the playoffs with this victory.

In the East, the Bulls came to the Bucks' home court and narrowly defeated the Bucks 113-106, leading the Bucks by a huge score of 3-0. They basically entered the second round with one foot.

The same goes for the battle between the Cavaliers and Celtics.

Under the leadership of James, the Cavaliers defeated the Celtics 103-95 in an away game, also gaining a match point to enter the second round.

The next day is April 24th.

The confrontation in the first round of the playoffs continues.

The Rockets and Spurs were tied 1-1 in the first two rounds. This time the Rockets visited the AT&T Center Arena. James Harden led the team to a very fierce game, and finally narrowly defeated the Spurs 130-128.

Harden scored 42 points and 9 assists in this game, and Howard's comeback was also the key to the Rockets' victory, finishing the game with 13 points and 26 rebounds.

As a result, the Rockets also led the Spurs 2-1 in the big score.

In the East, the Raptors, who had a better regular season record than the Wizards, had a disappointing performance in the playoffs. The losses in the first two home games also gave the Raptors a high chance of being swept by the Wizards, and this game

The game is also the key to whether the Raptors can advance to the second round. If they can win, they still have a chance.

As a result, at the home court of the Washington Wizards, the Raptors once again lost 99-106 in this game that was very important to their playoff destiny.

As a result, the Wizards also got the match point with a big score of 3-0.

The Clippers and Grizzlies also tied 1-1 in the first two rounds. This game returned to the Grizzlies' home court. In the end, the Clippers led by Paul turned away and defeated the Grizzlies 99-90.

It also took the lead.

Then the time came to April 25th.

At six o'clock in the evening, the fourth game between the Timberwolves and Dallas started as scheduled at the American Airlines Arena.

The occupancy rate in the stands of the American Airlines Arena in Dallas was less than 70%, and there were many empty seats. Cuban, who has always been very enthusiastic about the game, did not even appear at the scene.

It can be seen from these performances that the people of Dallas have little confidence in this game, not even the boss, let alone the players.

Nowitzki is probably the only one who takes the game seriously, and the others are probably already thinking about where to go for fun during the next vacation.

Even when he's in good shape, he can't stop the Timberwolves' bite, let alone when his morale is low.

In the first three games, the interim head coach would still stand on the sidelines and yell, but this game he has been sitting there quietly watching the game from the beginning, as if the game on the field at this moment has nothing to do with him.

No relationship is the same.

At the end of the second quarter of this game, there were even more empty seats in the stands.

At the end of the half, the Timberwolves led Dallas by 21 points, 69-48.

This game lost its suspense early on.

Barkley, who was on the commentary table, directly said that the game was over when the referee blew the halftime whistle. Although this statement sounded a bit harsh to many Dallas fans, this is the actual situation.

.

Finally, after all the time was exhausted, as the referee's whistle sounded, many Dallas players and fans felt a sense of relief. For them, the suffering of this series was finally over.

When he heard the referee blowing the whistle to end the game, Da Zhuang turned around and hugged Smith and others in celebration.

What they are celebrating is not just their victory over Dallas, but also that they have taken another big step forward in their defense of the title.

124 to 95, this was the final score between the two sides.

In the four games, the Timberwolves' point difference in each game was more than 25 points, and the point difference in winning two games even exceeded 30 points. Such a terrifying offense made many team coaches frown.

4-0, the Minnesota Timberwolves directly swept the Dallas Mavericks and reached the second round of the playoffs for the second consecutive season.

The Timberwolves' second-round opponent is the winner of the Rockets and Spurs.

To be honest, Da Zhuang hopes that Popovich can beat that guy Carlisle to a head-to-head fight, preferably for seven games. In this way, the Timberwolves can wait for work, and the hope of advancing to the Western Conference Finals will be much greater.

In fact, Dazhuang's expectations are very likely to be realized.

The Timberwolves were the first team among the sixteen teams to advance to the second round. At the end of this game, three more games also ended one after another.

In the third game between the Hawks and the Nets, the Nets finally came to their home court and defeated the Hawks 91-83. As a result, the big score between the two sides became 2-1.

In the fourth game between the Bulls and Bucks, I thought the Bulls would sweep the Bucks as well, but the Bucks finally narrowly defeated the Bulls 92-90, dragging the competition between the two sides into the fifth game.

There was another game between the Trail Blazers and the Warriors. The Warriors, who finally came to the Trail Blazers' home court, also defeated the Trail Blazers 113-104, thus taking a 2-1 lead.

After the game, the Timberwolves team returned directly to Apolis that night, and on the way back, Da Zhuang directly announced that the team would have a day off the next day, sweeping Dallas to allow the Timberwolves to win in this intense playoff game.

Gained rare rest time.
