Da Zhuang even suspected that the Rockets' management was already considering giving up Howard during the draft this summer. The reason why they did not immediately implement it was simply that they hoped Capela could grow up.

The Rockets on the court were like being poisoned by chronic poison. They could only watch helplessly as the Timberwolves kept seizing on their weaknesses and beating them to death, and then they clearly felt that victory was getting further and further away from them.

At this time, Carlisle regretted why he didn't think about the tactical fit between Capela and the team earlier this season and relied too much on the stars.

At this time, he had to think of the guy on the opposite side. The Timberwolves didn't have any big-name players at the beginning, and it was this that created Chen Dazhuang's authority in the Timberwolves. The advantage of this is that he can get all his ideas as the head coach.

Very good presentation.

Alas, this guy is so lucky. His wife is the owner of the team, so he can do whatever he wants.

The guy who got shit luck.

Carlisle shook his head. For Carlisle, this playoffs is basically the end.

Carlisle turned his head and looked in Chen Dazhuang's direction and took a deep look.

Fortunately, Da Zhuang didn't notice, otherwise he might have made Carlisle angry again.

The next game was just as Carlisle predicted, with the Timberwolves slowly widening the point difference between the two sides.

By the end of the third quarter, the Timberwolves already led the Rockets by 16 points, 91-75.

At 6 minutes and 28 seconds into the fourth quarter, Carlisle replaced all the main players, which also meant that the Rockets gave up the game.

This also indicates that the Rockets, who are competing with the Timberwolves for tickets to the Western Conference Finals, will fall behind the Timberwolves 0-3 in a big score.

This also means that the Timberwolves will get a match point in the second round and are only one game away from reaching the Western Conference Finals for the third time in team history.

Rockets fans in the Toyota Center stands looked around with strong disappointment in their eyes.

Although many people are mentally prepared, when reality comes, disappointment still erodes their mood.

"The game is over. To be honest, I believe this result is not surprising to many people, but when it is actually presented in front of you, you still feel a little embarrassed. Many people seem to have a difference in strength from the lineups of both sides.

Not big, but when the game really starts

After the beginning, you found that the combat effectiveness displayed by the two sides was very different. Here we have to admit that Chen Dazhuang's transformation of the Timberwolves in the past two seasons can be said to be very successful." In the live broadcast room, Yang Yi saw that both sides had changed one after another.

After taking down the main force, he also sighed a little.

"Actually, the two teams have completely different ideas for building the team. The Rockets adopted the strategy used by most NBA teams, which is to find famous stars to serve as the core of the team, while the Timberwolves did the opposite.

Players all became famous because they came to the Timberwolves. Look at the players in the Timberwolves. The core player Oden is

Everyone knows that the famous glass man has great physical talent, but he was called a parallel import because of his health problems. Bennett, the top pick in the draft, was greatly questioned by the Cavaliers. The same is true for Yi Jianlian, who is regarded by many NBA players.

The team gave up. Middleton and Himes are all players who have little chance to play on other teams."

"Yes, and the three rookies selected by the Timberwolves last year, including Joe Harris who was sent to the Lakers, also played well. To be honest, Zhang pointed out, I am looking forward to the day when my strong brother can come back to coach, and the others are not

Talk about, in terms of training new people, I really can’t find a more suitable one. It is said that many young people in the beautiful country hope to join the Timberwolves. Not only because the Timberwolves are now a strong team, but because Brother Zhuang is training

The ability of newcomers.”

"This idea is probably what many people are looking forward to, but it is difficult to see it. Not only the conflict between the NBA and international events and the contract issue between Chen Dazhuang and the Timberwolves, these two are very troublesome.

Already."

When Yang Yi and Zhang Lili were chatting about the possibility of Chen Dazhuang returning to China to coach in the Penguin live broadcast room, the game on the field was coming to an end. Finally, the fourth quarter game time came and the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

The Timberwolves defeated the Rockets 117-99, thus leading the Rockets 3-0. It can be said that they have basically obtained a ticket to the Western Conference Finals.

Yi Jianlian, who returned from injury in this game, scored a double-double with 24 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists. The best player was won by Oden. Oden played 39 minutes in the game and scored 35 points and 18 rebounds.

A triple-double with 10 assists, and Middleton also contributed 23 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

The highest scorer in the game was James Harden of the Rockets, who contributed 39 points, 4 rebounds and 9 assists in 36 minutes.

After the game, Harden stood there with a look of helplessness on his face.

Once again, Harden fell in the playoffs, which made Harden really helpless and angry. What was helpless was that his opponent was indeed too strong in terms of strength. What was angry was that too much internal friction consumed a lot of the Rockets' energy and attention.

.

A game in the Eastern Conference that was played almost at the same time as this game also ended at almost the same time.

Back in Chicago, the Bulls faced the Cleveland Cavaliers at home.

The two sides drew 1-1 in the first two rounds.

In this game, the Bulls had the last laugh. They defeated the Cavaliers 99-96, temporarily leading the Cavaliers 2-1 by a big score.

As a result, of all the second-round games in the Eastern and Western Conferences, only the Timberwolves went the smoothest, and it looks like the possibility of sweeping the Rockets is very high.

After this game, the major betting companies in the beautiful country once again lowered the odds of the Timberwolves winning the championship, because if the Timberwolves can sweep the Rockets and enter the Western Conference Finals, then they will most likely be waiting for their opponents to sit back and wait for their opponents, which will be very important to the team.

Preparing for battle is very important.

The next day, May 10, two games in the fourth round of the second round of the playoffs kicked off.

The Atlanta Hawks continued their away game against the Washington Wizards, and this time the Hawks finally did not disappoint the fans again.

At the Wizards' home court, they defeated the Wizards 106-101. As a result, the Hawks and Wizards also tied 2-2 in the four rounds of competition.

Coincidentally, in another Western Conference game, the Warriors also defeated the Clippers 109-100 in Los Angeles, and the big score between the two sides was also tied at 2-2.

Two of the four second-round games were tied in the previous four rounds. As a result, the Timberwolves, which already led 3-0, attracted even more attention.
